This week's music show special format was something we had already participated in several times.
'Group KPOP concert.'
TNet held a global concert called 'TaKon' every half year.
Well, it was a common broadcaster's tyranny that didn't support the infrastructure properly while being broadcasted live in dozens of countries, but anyway, the outside was slick.
This time, since we caught up to VTIC, they even organized the 1st and 2nd parts in two days, as if they were trying to be ambitious.
And then TeStar… Wasn't it obvious? We were members of TNet, so we had to appear on both days.
However, now there was not one son of this broadcasting station now, but two.
"Hello, sunbaenim!"
Day 1. The group we met at the rehearsal site was the debut group of
I could see the face of Gold 2 grinning between the guys who greeted us vigorously.
It was said that he debuted at Rank 1 in a narrow and dramatic way.
"Sunbaenim, please give us lots of guidance~"
"Aigoo, please take good care of us~"
He still got along well with Keun Sejin.
Of course, he was not the only one to pay attention to.
The guy who was quietly buried earlier when we were all head-butting together.
Chae Seodam was in the debut group.
"… …"
The guy who bullied Seon Ahyeon when he was in school. He still couldn't get rid of that habit in
'The string is also tough.'
Surprisingly, this bastard debuted at Rank 10 after being edited in the latter half of
It was only then that the explanation of 'everything was a misunderstanding' came out properly, and it was said that it matched exquisitely and captured the hearts of general viewers…
-A misunderstanding? The deceiver is in the debut group… I'm so mad…
- For an idol, love and longing can coexist?
- Chae Seodam is really terrible ㅋㅋㅋ I don't accept the PD's picks for forced narratives.
Well, for this reason, it seemed that fans of the same debut group were swearing a lot.
'Still, debuting is an unconditional benefit.'
If he got eliminated due to controversy, there would be a difference in the chance to rise higher.
I didn't know if that was a coincidence or not, but even then, it was of no use.
Seon Ahyeon didn't care much anymore.
"Fighting today… ! Cheer up, you can do it!"
"Thank you!
The other guys were cheering.
Since the person concerned did that, we just organized it to the point of treating this bastard as someone who didn't matter.
Moreover, thanks to Chae Seodam, who was in first place, being defeated, the spirit of this season's
'The general manager?'
I wasn't too nervous.
"Don't be too nervous, I hope you have a good stage."
"Yes!"
So all I was considering now was the gain we could get from this not-so-welcome encounter.
'As long as I can use it.'
It'd be spread around.
"See you next time!"
The moment we parted ways after greeting, Keun Sejin quietly spoke.
"Are we switching places with them?"
"Yes."
The timer for the first timing had already been set.
"TeStar is next!"
When we got on the rehearsal stage, the morning air blew into my nose.
A view of the outdoor stage.
Originally, the outdoor concert hall where the new
'Thank you so much.'
Thanks to them, the story would come out well.
I remembered the weather forecast I checked a few days ago.
The probability of precipitation on the day of the performance was 70%.
• * *
"Bastard!"
"Ah, it's noisy!!"
Kim Raebin's fan didn't even respond to her brother's words and got up from her seat. It was after she hit her keyboard once with her fist.
Puck!
An online battle with VTIC fans… No, it was the result of a finger match.
'While making a living by being preoccupied overseas, campaigns are falling apart!!'
Her fighting power, which continued from the donation concert, was on the rise without end. But it was time for her to calm down a little now.
"Hey, are you watching this?"
"Yes. Move."
Without even correcting her brother on how he should fix his words, she pushed him away and sat down on the couch.
On TV, TaKon was broadcasting live.
[NEXT STAGE]
[TeSTAR]
She didn't know how many previews they would show, but it must have been time for them to come out soon. Airtime was almost over now!
And indeed, the TeStar VCR intro flowed on the screen.
"It's good… … … ??"
However, she was speechless when she saw the scene of the concert being captured on camera from afar.
It was because it was absurd.
"… What is this?"
"Why?"
What?
'Why are these guys standing on an outdoor stage?'
Since TaKon was broadcast live, two stages were alternated for quick maintenance.
And this time, the stage was divided into outdoor and indoor due to the structure of the venue.
Then how was it usually?
People entered the stages in order of seniority, and groups that were very popular were invited to the indoor stage even if they were less than a year old.
So, of course, she thought TeStar would be indoors too…
These guys were standing on the outdoor stage.
Even on a rainy evening!
'What's up with the rain, fuck you!'
By the way, there was an almost hellish silence on SNS overflowing with fans who had already witnessed that the new
What she didn't know was that fighting VTIC's fans was rather a medicine for her.
Because she already angry enough!
… Still, the moment TeStar was close-up, Kim Raebin's fan forgot her anger for a moment.
'This idol group is the best.'
TeStar came out flawlessly in every corner.
'Is Kim Raebin crazy? He's wearing a silver robe.'
It seemed that the music video costumes were applied, and the figures wearing the colorful robe cardigan over the white shirs were wet and moist…
"… ?"
Water was… falling on their heads?
'Where's the cover?'
Even if it was an outdoor stage, there would at least be a waterproof screen.
No, since the weather forecast said it would rain, of course, there was a screen prepared for the stages so far.
But suddenly, there was nothing.
'It's raining too much… !'
'These madmen… !'
She almost cursed, but the stage started in earnest before that, so she reflexively focused on it.
The rhythmic and daunting start of the song, TeStar flicking their feet.
[Take your STAR]
[The day the stars fall]
A refreshing sound poured out.
TeStar didn't seem to care whether they got wet or not.
No, rather, when the raindrops hit them, a new flavor popped out.
'Uh?'
In the evening, as the lighting intensified, the light reflected from the water droplets on the robes and accessories that covered the feet and arms sparkled.
Whiik.
Maybe it was because of the choreography with a lot of bouncing and turning of the body parts, even the splashing water seemed to be part of the stage.
And with every step they took, water droplets splashed like decorations.
Below that… they were barefoot.
'… !'
Long legs… No, more…
'Isn't there still water??'
It must have been that the top cover had been removed from the previous indoor stage, and there was quite a lot of water on the floor.
'Too dangerous…'
However, perhaps thanks to their bare feet, TeStar did not slip.
Instead, the stage unfolded as neatly and pleasingly as on dry land.
No, it seemed even better.
'What…'
Every time they stepped on it barefoot, their toes were half-submerged and came out. And the rings of water splashed together.
In particular, when entering the chorus, it was excellent to go up according to the steps of the point choreography.
[We fly so far]
Water gushed out through large gaps. Then the robes fluttered, splashing water droplets again.
It was eye-catching.
A stage where splendor overwhelmed the existing coolness.
Doing it all with better-looking clothes and hair, it was already a well-planned underwater performance.
'Ah.'
And she realized it like lightning. The decoration color of the robes and the gemstone color of the body accessories… This was the color of their fins in the music video.
A performance wearing mermaid symbols in flowing water.
'Did they do this on purpose?'
They planned the stage running around barefoot on a rainy day for their concept? They took off the cover too?
It was nonsense. However, TeStar's appearance on TV was so impressive that question marks and exclamation marks flooded her mind.
[To the island at the end of the horizon]
[Today will shine]
Seon Ahyeon's acrobatics drew a neat vertical water drop parabola, and the ending approached.
Thanks to the members supporting him, he wasn't nervous, so he looked amazing. It was a choreography that caught the eye.
And the humming motion at the end… Instead, they put their arms around each other and turned around.
[Mmm]
It ended with them looking up at the raining sky in line with the final base.
So the stage was over.
"… …"
[Trutturu~ The soup is excellent!]
The screen changed with advertisements. However, Kim Raebin's fan continued to sit on the sofa.
Her younger brother hit her thigh with his foot.
"Hey, are you good?"
It was so good that she didn't know.
No, it was good, but it was not going to end at this level…
How amazing was this?
"Oh, really!"
Kim Raebin's fan immediately checked social media.
She had to figure out what the hell was going on!
• * *
"Ugh!"
"Cha Eugene! Are your feet okay?"
"OK! They're okay!"
Cha Eugene tore off the transparent protrusion-shaped protectors attached to his feet.
Even if the staff helped, it still stung, so it looked like he ripped it off with his own hands.
What was that? Well, it was an anti-slip device made of rubber synthetic material.
'It's suicidal to run barefoot across the marble floor filled with water.'
It was before the comeback that I made that order. I shrugged and removed what was on my feet.
"I-it doesn't hurt… ?"
"Yes. I'm fine."
The adhesive did sting a little, but there shouldn't be any after-effects.
And we just took a bigger opportunity than that.
"I know. We just did great!"
"Yes, is that so? I think so too, Eugene-ssi~"
"Hehe."
"I hope the viewers will enjoy it and feel good in their hearts!"
"Yes. It should be good."
Bae Sejin spoke firmly. Well, he had the right to say things like that because he was the one who worked the hardest to complete due to the difference in stats.
I smiled and nodded.
"Yes."
Then, I had to check it out.
As soon as I returned to the waiting room, I put on a towel and connected to the Internet.
Related communities… A response had already arrived.
[Idol just performing in the heavy rain]
[Legendary TaKon Stage]
[TeStar's stage is dangerous VS cool, which one is it?]
[TeStar's dazzling scene]
There was an uproar.
I thought it would probably be the same on social media, but it was as expected.
Articles were pouring in like crazy, and 'heavy rain' and 'TeStar, what?' were trending up.
- Isn't this c-c-c-crazy?
- How am I supposed to accept this?
-Everyone aside, our kids are geniuses, really;;
-Are my eyes weird? This looks better than the normal stage.
No, that was right. It was bound to look good.
'It's a choreography made with water in mind in the first place.'
To be precise, it was a choreography commissioned while simulating a stage set filled with water to the level of the ankles.
We wanted to make use of the uniqueness of the album's concept of summer and the sea.
'It was meant to be used at concerts.'
We hit it well.
And it was natural that if one more well-considered element was added, it was bound to be more fun.
'I knew a reaction would come.'
After staying for 2-3 weeks, I guessed that it would definitely be effective if it exploded at the right time to stabilize the buzz.
In addition, we added elements to make it more impressive.
'This situation.'
Words would continue to come out because it was unknown whether this was a plan or an unexpected situation due to weather conditions.
It had already begun.
-Good coping skills
- It's clearly planned.
-If it's a plan, it's already been hit with advertisements. It seems to me that it's an accident and it's been settled ㅋㅋ
-Why did TeStar come to the outdoor stage in the first place?
- Predicting the weather forecast and setting the stage according to the rain…? Is it too irrational guess or not?
I hoped that the stage would spread widely with people continuing to talk about it.
'It would be appropriate around the time when Wetube's Cyber Lecca bites.'
I checked the video, which went viral thanks to the controversy, and started talking to the company.
• * *
TeStar's stage in the heavy rain emerged as a hot trend at the end of the week amidst various speculations and admiration.
Because there were many people who knew about TeStar's activities this time, such as the confrontation with VTIC and the songs that fell well, people were more interested in it and clung to it at a frightening speed.
It was not just becausee they did a good job on stage, it was because they could add a word of their opinions to this unique situation!
In the end, it spread to safety issues and caught fire in various meanings, but the official position was clearly announced in an article before the controversy officially surfaced.
[TeStar's performance in the heavy rain? "Planned, not an accident"]
[TaKon's dizzying heavy rain stage… improvised natural set]
It was said that TeStar changed the stage on the day of rehearsal in consideration of the stage for the first joint concert of their immediate hoobaenims.
And after noticing the weather situation, they changed the composition as an event, and put on the equipment while paying attention to safety.
The articles, whichh had undergone a thorough inspection by the agency, continued to advertise TeStar's stage by coming to the main entertainment article.
Except for the context change, it was the clean truth.
And TeStar even showed their excitement by posting the anti-skid protection they were wearing at the time on social media.
Ahyeon wore this for ballet and it was so cool. We all followed him ㅋㅋ
(video)
-They used the TNet kids as a good story shield, but to say it was true.
-What the hell were you trying to show at the concert guys, I'll definitely go this time, I'll get a ticket!!
-♡♡♡♡
-These are the first idols who are sincere about being idols;
Because it came out quickly, TeStar's sincerity would not be damaged, and the unexpected situation would not lower their status.
However, they didn't know that the video that had already spread would gain momentum and come down from the popular WeTube video.
People who praised, people who picked up faults, people who made aggro videos about this incident.
And even people who re-uploaded the dance challenge comparing it with and without water.
Everyone contributed to the popularity and raised the ranking of TeStar's sound sources.
Thanks to this, Cheongryeo was able to organize easily.
"… …"
The calculation that he would pay the bill to TeStar
