Chapter 289

In the waiting room before the live broadcast of MusicBOMB, Tnet’s music program

.

“Would you like something to drink too?”

“Water, please.”

I voluntarily took over water from Sejin, who was distributing drinks, and continued monitoring.

Because I still had some free time.

‘First record.’

The album trend is as expected... No, inflation is more severe than expected.

Both VTIC and Testa.

‘Is it competitive psychology?’

[TeSTAR] “The Ocean of Wonder – 1 317 215]

It has already sold 1.3 million copies.

I looked at the album sales that exceeded the expected number in four days, and then thought of VTIC’s first week sales and stopped thinking for a moment.

Are there crazy guys who sell over 2 million copies in the first week of repackage albums?

‘It’s been a while.’

I had to check the numbers more carefully in order to look equal to these guys in this situation.

I checked the music charts.

[7th place VTIC HELP]

[9th place Testa – Promise]

They are chasing after the daily rankings. 24Hit is already in the middle of the day, and there is a high probability that it will be overturned after a while.

This is because the response to this song was as good as expected.

It’s easy listening and has a good sense of the season, so it seemed that people who had previously listened to Testa’s songs immediately added them to their playlist.

‘It’s nice to hear while driving.’

And the topicality to attract new listeners was good. There is also interest gained from simultaneous release with VTIC... .

“Certainly, I think Ahyeon looks the best here.”

“Yes? Ahyeon would look good even with a real mermaid tail~”

“A tail is enough! We’re not doing that!”

“Hey, Eugene’s four tails didn’t even appear in the music video~”

“Haha.”

hmm. That virtue is definitely there.

The mermaid concept aggro exploded.

‘I’m a bit shocked to hear that... .’

Existing fans are so used to how we make videos, but when you just listened to it, you could roughly guess how it would sound like ‘Come out dressed as a mermaid in a music video!’

‘It’s either a children’s animation or a B-grade movie.’

Once that... Doesn’t the angle come out roughly when you think of normal CG?

-Testa mermaid concept is coming out

└ Mermaid? The mermaid who lives in the sea? Did I

hear wrong?

That’s to the extent that the actual animatronic tails, not CG, were inserted in the middle of the cutscenes with only the tips separately to make it look like the members.

Just enough to understand that the guys in short sleeves playing in the water on the beach at sunset are mermaids.

‘If I had to ask... It’s a sensibility closer to an art film.’

Those who clicked hoping that a real naked testa would come out in full body with glitter and a CG tail on it were as good as they were hooked.

-?? What is it? It’s so much better than I thought

– It’s just a well-made gambit music video, but it’s a huge amount of capital

– Does that tail fin mean that it’s a mermaid? Ah, I understand ᄏ

-Sangtal is... It was only fair rain, yes, I get it.. You can be satisfied with the silhouette

. Thanks to that, the number of views of the music video went up.

And word of mouth spread that the song is good, and it is a big help to the sound source.

‘of course... Still, it’s hard to avoid likes and dislikes.’

– I love mermaids ᅮᅮ The best concept

└ That’s

not it – Take it out and

give it back

to me. └ Then watch the stage

. Although various reactions were swirling, from those who expected it to regret it, anyway, if the majority is good, it is a success. Rather, it becomes noise marketing.

‘I took this arrangement into account.’

Looking back a few years later, the music video wasn’t so bad that it would become a dark history, so there’s nothing to regret.

Actually, I thought about giving mermaids only by hint, but... Then it seemed that aggro would be lacking.

‘I needed an impact.’

If I went only with the travel concept, I would never have been able to make a composition with VTIC and Yanggang.

The amount of mention will vary.

‘Image is a battle of momentum after all.’

To catch the VTIC composition of the popular testa fandom, it was ambiguous because our side did not have the level of popularity as young rin.

Besides, the concept that VTIC came up with this time was working even better abroad.

I just remembered the time I ran into them in the hallway.

-Hello Testa juniors!

-It’s been a while since I’ve seen you in real life~

VTIC guys are fooling around. Anyway, they smiled and asked how they were doing, and we had a moderately harmonious conversation.

‘There were a lot of staff and singers who came and went, so we had no choice but to be harmonious.’

And among the blessings from our side was this.

-Congratulations to the number 2 on the Billboard album chart. Seniors~! I respect you!

– Ahaha thank you!

These guys entered the Billboard charts while renewing their rankings.

It turns out that the bizarre cosmic horror concept is a well-known worldview with a fairly large tradition and scale in foreign countries.

Thanks to that, the fandom is hooked there as well, and it seems that the US schedule is tight. must have been aiming

‘If this is covered in the media, it may be pushed back due to the issue of enhancing national prestige... .’

It’s just fortunate that they secured at least a trendy hotness with mermaid aggro before that.

I shrugged and stopped reminiscing.

Because the conclusion was obvious.

‘In the end, I’ll have to do well on stage.’

[TeSTAR – Promise]

“Huh.”

Homma took a deep breath again after the title appeared on the screen and the closing close-up of Park Mun-dae disappeared.

‘Dogs are fun.’

So, to conclude...

‘This works.’

It seemed like it would start with a choreography challenge. Word of mouth had already been written, so with this stage release, all sorts of videos were already uploaded.

I had a clue from the music video. The choreography isn’t insanely difficult, but it’s just impressive and addictive.

Just looking at real-time social media right now, similar reactions poured out.

-Is it over already?

-You’re really good at it. You’re a mermaid and a nabal, and you have to be good at the stage hahahahahaha

– After watching the performance, the song sounds better. Is this hallucination?

-The stage restaurant is uniquely delicious

-Sabi and the waist and hands are hip

.

What VTIC fans are saying is that the trend in Korea is Testa!

She predicted the future satisfactorily. And that prediction was going to flow very much like reality.

However, Testa was not the only one who digested the attracted attention through consumption.

* * *

“The joy of exploding music! MusicBOMB~”

“This week’s #1 is... Congratulations! VTIC!”

Music show MCs politely hand over bouquets and trophies to VTIC.

It was natural. Today, due to the counting period, last week’s grades are included, so if VTIC is not ranked first, it’s manipulation.

“First of all, to Tika who cheered me on until I won this award today... ... ... .”

I laughed hard and clapped my palms at the guys who were talking about their first place impressions. Everyone is doing it.

There must be no idiot here who can’t manage his facial expression.

Still, I will think of various things in my heart, but in my case... Yes, I can say that it is being evaluated.

‘These bastards are definitely doing well.’

It was the first time for me to hold each of these guys on their title stage and properly watch them.

And quite... It was impressive.

‘You’re digging a well.’

They said that the music video was also a compilation of contents that their fans would like, and the stage was the same.

‘Intense and stimulating high quality.’

It wasn’t that they lost their popularity, but the intro’s performance like fighting a snake is a composition for the fan base.

‘And his stage skills are so outstanding.’

It’s not for nothing that new fans are attached to that annual car.

“MusicBOMB! See you again next week!”

I came down from the stage after bowing my head to the waving top performers.

Although these activities are different from each other, it seems that there is no way that either of them will fail on stage.

And in fact, the response came out similarly.

The following week, Testa continued to climb up the music charts through word of mouth and social platform users’ picks.

And in the end what was to happen happened.

———————————

[Testa just reversed V-tick sound source]

: Climbed to 5th place Real male idol sound source It seems that the silver testa is one top (capture)

———————————

-Crazy

-Hahahahahahahaha Testa ᄏ ᄏ

-Honestly, the song was chosen so well, I think

it’s a song └That was composed by Kim Rae-bin

└Haha I’ve seen producing members take care of their names once or twice, but at this point, they just put their name on the end

└It’s the first one (captured)

└Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Ha ha

ha ha – It’s rewarding to come in a week late. Album sales are tricked

ha ha – I knew

it

would

go well

.

In fact, there was a mess for a while, wondering if there was a conclusion, but it quickly subsided. VTIC was so gorgeous that even global records were speechless.

Starting with ‘No. 1 in 76 countries’, interviews and award ceremony invitations, as well as the number of comments and music video views in the English-speaking world.

It was amazing.

Thanks to its sparkling status, people who listened to it continued to come out, and the VTIC title song continued to stay at the top of the domestic charts.

It’s the same not only in terms of sound sources, but also in terms of overall topicality.

‘It’s going on and on.’

As planned, we swept all the way to No. 1 this week, but it was still unknown how the perception would change when it was around August.

‘Still, what is satisfactory is that the Yanggang system has been solidified.’

Now, ‘how dare you put a testa in VTIC’ is almost unheard of.

This tension must be maintained until the end of the year.

I decided to keep that in mind and wait for the decisive end to come.

And like that, the days of the music broadcast come back again.

Music broadcast in the 3rd week of Testa’s comeback.

And VTIC’s last domestic music broadcast for this album.

Actually, they should have stopped appearing last week, but since it’s a special feature, Tnet seems to be holding on to their pants.

And I realized that this is the first critical timing.

‘I have to catch public opinion.’

I had to stir up the topic once again.

However, I did not know that I would encounter an unexpected and not very welcome situation in this special feature.

A prospective junior appeared as a guest on a special stage.

〈Azusa〉 This season’s debut group.
