For now, I asked the company staff to give us so ti to talk amongst ourselves.
And the discussion began.
“What do you think?”
“I want to go to Arica!”
“Alright. I take it Eugene is in favor of it and the hyungs will discuss it more.”
“Yeah!”
When Cha Eugene was about to be excluded from the discussion with Ryu Chungwoo’s gentle words, Keun Sejin intervened.
“Wait a minute~ Eugene, have you heard of this show?”
“? No!”
This was the na of the show that we were requested to appear on. . And it seed Cha Eugene really didn’t know this na.
“M-Maybe Eugene doesn’t know much about it because it’s new…?”
“That’s right. He said it’s on the rise right?”
The mbers talked amongst each other. I took out my smartphone.
“Moondaemoondae, are you going to look it up?”
“Hn.”
“Oh~ Let’s see.”
Anyone who saw this would think he was a guy who didn’t carry a smartphone in his pocket.
Anyway, perhaps they were lazy to search, I proceeded with the mbers sneakily looking at my smartphone screen.
As a result of a simple search using a translation program, the identity of the show was revealed.
“Oh, it’s their page.”
Of course, it wasn’t a famous Arican ground wave talk show.
But is it a small program that is completely marginalized? It’s not that either.
“Oh, that’s amazing.”
“It feels very distinctive.”
It was a pleasant broadcast in the form of a parody of a famous talk show.
And the content was… It was the subculture, so to speak.
It seed to focus on gas, comics, and superhero movies, but like the company staff said, the number of views on YouTube was quite high.
“Eugene, would you like to see this? Is it fun?”
“What is it?”
Cha Eugene poked his head into my smartphone screen where a talk show clip was playing.
Then, after looking at the screen for a mont, he snorted.
“…?”
Did this guy catch a problem?
“W-Wouldn’t it be fun…?”
“I don’t know. I don’t watch things like this. So nerdy.”
“H-Huh?”
…It just didn’t suit his taste.
Cha Eugene pouted.
Keun Sejin asked with a mischievous face.
“But you have to show up there if you want to go to Arica~ You have to co out and sing the ga song!”
“It’s fine to show up there. I don’t watch it.”
It was a very professional attitude.
‘The question is, are we going to show up there?’
Looking at it, it was sowhat popular and it looked like a good program.
But I didn’t know if I wanted this to be our first stage in the US.
‘I don’t want to get involved with the ga anymore.’
In the long run, the risks were significant.
Because Testar was a K-pop group and would make a K-pop album.
But even if we went there and did well, we could only co out with the image of the ga character’s avatar.
Then, when we went abroad with a real Testar album later, there would be a huge gap from the first impression.
Тhе lаtеѕt аnd mоѕt рорulаr nоvеlѕ аt lіghtnоvеlwоrld․соm
There was a good chance that it would co back as ridicule or betrayal.
‘If you don’t have much intention to enter the UK and US zone, it’s a good choice for dia play…’
It was an Arican program anyway, so it wouldn’t be bad for an article.
‘It will help to remove the dostic-use image.’
It was a smoke screen saying, ‘We are also great at going global’.
In this case, I shouldn’t be too concerned with public opinion from the ga community.
Even if people said that we were using the ga for dia play, it would quickly subside as long as we didn’t make new collaborations.
But the mbers didn’t seem to think this way.
They just took it as a career opportunity.
“Shall we? It’s a rare opportunity.”
“…It doesn’t matter to .”
“I also think it’s a suggestion worth challenging. I hope we can play our song even if it’s the ga collaboration song.”
It was a very progressive and rookie-like attitude. Hmm.
Surprisingly, Seon Ahyeon brought up a concerning issue here.
“W-Will it be all right? M-Moondae back then… said it’s not good to collaborate again… Is this… going to be okay?”
The last question was what I had been wondering myself.
Keun Sejin also stepped in. However, this guy was also in favor of it.
“Hey~ I’m not asking for a new collaboration, wouldn’t it be fine to have the stage? We’ll leave a good impression if we do it well~”
He must be aware of the importance of first impressions, but it seed his ambition to enter the US had overco the risk.
‘You’re saying we should take care of our popularity first.’
To make matters worse, Seon Ahyeon nodded with his eyes shining.
“S-Should we? I-I hope we can have a great stage…!”
I guessed he wanted to do it.
And the others began to join in, forming an atmosphere filled with motivation.
…It couldn’t be helped. I nodded my head.
“…Alright, I like it, too.”
“Ooh!”
“However, I want to show the group as much as possible.”
“The group?”
“Yeah.”
They must be wondering about how loose the term was, but after the explanation, everyone was convinced.
“Great!”
“Hmm~ We have to prepare well.”
“I’m glad I have so free ti in my recent schedule.”
The group discussion ended in a jovial mood.
And the company staff I t again had opinions similar to what I said earlier.
But mine was slightly more specific.
“First of all… I hope we can sing one of our title tracks.”
“Ah~ Ah! Of course. We will definitely discuss that!”
“Yes, thank you. For the stage, the program only requests the selection of the songs, is it correct that we prepare the rest?”
“Yes. that’s right. If there is a concept or setting you want to do, I will try to match it as much as possible. As much as the ti permits!”
“That’s great.”
Ti, it would be fine. I smirked.
“I want a live band performance.”
“Ah! That’s great.”
“And there’s no need for costus.”
“…? Yes?”
What the hell are you talking about? I guessed it was ti for to explain it once more.

The news of Testar’s appearance on an Arican program made it to the entertainnt news main page at least once.
lіghtnоvеlwоrld․соm fоr а bеttеr uѕеr ехреrіеnсе
If the reaction wasn’t good after appearing, it would be difficult to play with the press, so as soon as the casting ca in, the agency seized the opportunity.
The news quickly ca to the fans who were enjoying Testar’s May university festival and Seon Ahyeon’s surprise birthday party video.
– Heol, going to the US?
– It’s ti to talk about overseas, but I thought they’d start with Japan… As expected, the population targeting Testar is different.
– I can finally see Cha Eugene speaking English as much as I want. Callie Boy’s cheerful sexy accentㅠㅠ
– You have to take annual leave to see it live. Okay, I’m going to get food poisoning that day.
Rather than worrying about the neglect of dostic activities due to overseas tours, the atmosphere of ‘the world needs to know about such a great idol’ was overwhelming.
Because Testar had so many fans in Korea.
However, after the exact contents of the program and the casting process were revealed, it cooled down slightly.
– Ah they will sing the ga collaboration song… No wonder the show felt a bit like thatㅋㅋ
– It’s the first ti K-pop appears on that program. This achievent is aningful enough
– I heard that our kids gave a lot of opinions on the ga collaboration, so it’s nice to see it co to fruition.
– I think this one will work better than the title track. I heard the collaboration song was on Billboard (screenshot)
– But I’m not going to let you go if the gaming bastards go crazy again. They’re geniuses, so what’s the point of making the collaboration song into a god song?ㅎ
The last one was words that Kim Raebin’s solo fan pressed into her private account one letter at a ti with anger.
‘These f*cking bastards really piss off!’
She slamd the keyboard.
Because she was reminded of a dog fight with a malicious ga user who was talking nonsense.
“When it was launched, they praised them as Godstar, but now they’re cutting off tails because the ga becos so popular!”
The fact that the situation had changed and the user base had changed a lot since then didn’t an anything in front of Kim Raebin’s angry fan.
‘I wish they would get fizzled out. Ha!!’
She just wanted this ga to quit!
In fact, Testar’s success abroad was far from advantageous.
‘If it goes well with this opportunity, they won’t be able to co out on music shows because they will be on tour. Either way, it’s not good for !’
…But like this, on the day of Testa’s appearance on , she was also waiting to watch it live.
She even sat down in front of her desktop because smartphone screens were too small and had too many errors.
‘Sigh…’
Reality check dominated her shoulders.
She couldn’t help it. Kim Raebin and Park Moondae were held hostage by such a trivial program…
“Heol, are you seeing them again?”
“Hn, go away.”
“Hn, you.”
“If you call you more ti, I will really look for you.”
She cursed at her younger brother with her hands and then ignored him. But her younger brother glanced at her computer screen.
“Is this the one? Singing a ga song in the US? Are they going to co out in costus?”
“Hey, go away.”
“Oh my God~ Argh! Ugh!”
After being rcilessly slapped on the back, her younger brother ran back to the sofa.
Because did so well, her brother also played the ga, so he knew the news.
‘Are you already crossing the line? I’m getting angrier.’
Kim Raebin’s solo fan gritted her teeth and stared at the computer screen.
Fortunately, the program began shortly after.
[Welco to the Show!]
[This is… nerdy!]
[Oh, I an, Andy~]
“What are you saying?”
Arican B-class CG and subtitles flew around.
And English poured out of the speaker for a while. The interim that showed up every few minutes was a bonus.
In summary, it wasn’t fun.
She could only recognize a few superhero movie characters.
Тhе lаtеѕt аnd mоѕt рорulаr nоvеlѕ аt lіghtnоvеlwоrld․соm
‘What are you doing…’
Kim Raebin’s solo fan felt deep regret, saying that she should have finished her assignnt and watched the edited version later.
Still, she watched it because it would be a waste, but fortunately, a preview of Testar appeared.
To be exact… It was a preview of OST performance.
‘F*ck…!’
Isn’t that just promoting the ga?
She stomped her foot with a feeling of resentnt. The comrcial soon ended with the younger brother ignoring king kong’s nonsense whining.
And the stage was illuminated.
“…!”
In the spot where Testar would co out… There was a whole band.
‘Looks like they’re going to do a band live.’
She focused on the screen for now.
Soon after, Testar ca up to the stage.
But they… were in casual clothes.
“Huh…?”
No, just in casual clothes, they looked neat. However, it wasn’t conceptual like their usual idol stage outfits.
“Huh? They’re not wearing costus?”
As her younger brother said, they didn’t even the ga character’s outfit or hairstyle.
It was just natural Testar. They looked like they would show up on a reality show.
Cha Eugene smiled and grabbed the standing microphone.
– What makes people live?
CHOICE!
And with the band’s live performance, the stage of the trailer song began.
DOOOM DOOOM DOOOM DOOOM ZZZZ-ING!
– I’m gonna survive.
Like you did before
Park Moondae coolly entered the high-pitched intro.
Testar sang with each holding their own standing microphone.
“…!”
The music… It was nice to listen to.
Her younger brother shrugged.
“He’s good at singing.”
Testar was originally good at singing live.
However, it was the first ti that they had a performance where she could just listen to the song without any other elents.
In fact, most of the fans who were watching the program now had assud that Testar would sohow put directing or choreography on the stage.
But there was no such thing.
It was just a neat and cool stage where you could enjoy the song.
They were good at using facial expressions and their gestures weren’t awkward, so they led the stage all the way only with that.
– Choose your way
Choose your side
She felt confident.
– Survive!
Testar brilliantly perford the ga collaboration song with the image of a standard singer, not a character perforr.
The siblings opened their mouths to the applause and cheers on the screen.
“Wow…”
“Oh~, I acknowledge it.”
Instead of answering, ‘Who do you think you are to acknowledge them?’, she tapped the desk in excitent.
‘Anyway, the performance was really good!’
They drew the line perfectly.
It was shouting, ‘We are not part of the ga, we are the who made the OST for this ga!’.
Тhе lаtеѕt аnd mоѕt рорulаr nоvеlѕ аt lіghtnоvеlwоrld․соm
And because they had enough talent as a singer, it worked brilliantly and seed natural.
[Wow~ That’s aweso!]
This composition was also revealed in the small talk after the first stage.
