Become an Idol or Become Deceased! [fan translation] P.1

Chapter 165

"Oh~ Idolco."

"It's starting this week."

When the advertisement for the new season was released, some of the guys, who had been watching the drama, were insincerely admiring it.

There were probably not too many expectations. We had just filmed it, so they were just pretending to acknowledge it.

However, when the thirty-second advertisement was almost over, their composure turned into absurdity and embarrassment.

[The national K-pop idol created by <Idol Corporation>]

[A global phenomenon heading to the world beyond Korea]

[테스타 (TeSTAR)]

[Meet the idol stocks taking over it!]

"My, god."

It was because more than half of the promotion focused on TeStar's greatness and whether there would be an appearance in season 4.

'...They went with the easy way.'

Season 3 was incredibly popular at the time it was airing, and even the debut group succeeded beyond the momentum, so there has been nothing like this in the early stages of aggro.

'They probably put the advertisement at the end of this drama intentionally.'

After all, didn't they place the advertisement right after the prime-time drama where Bae Sejin, the former participant of IdolCo season 3, made a surprise appearance?

It meant that they were aiming to paint this kind of picture in the first place. There was a reason why the company did not skip the offer and handed it to Bae Sejin.

'So, it's TeStar's fans whom they picked as the main audience for the early stages of the show.'

"...Hmm."

Even if there was not a deep overlap with the fan base, it wasn't very good that there could be a leakage in the fandom.

Since it was T1 we were talking about, they probably thought it wouldn't matter if there was a change in revenue transit because the kids who would debut in season 4 belonged to them anyway.

'Anyway, it will attract the real consumer base after the buzz has been created in the beginning.'

However, if season 4 didn't go as well as expected... they might use TeStar as the chance again.

'That's not good.'

The way I saw it, season 4 was a ticking time bomb.

I've already seen the bullshit that happened during the Rookie of the Year award with the controversy over Ryu Chungwoo's and the show writer's relation, so if there was any controversy over fairness in season 4, it was easy for us to get entangled in it.

Even so, after debuting, because of the scandals, whether big or small, the album quality and the image were the things that pressed down the fatigue that tended to easily increase. It was more difficult.

'We have to end it here with this amount of appearance.'

...And, if possible, I hoped the amount of footage this time was small.

I also knew. It was a hopeless wish.

'Those bastards, they'll pick the individual cuts, too...'

They would probably feed as much as they could using TeStar until their own buzz was on track.

Sure enough, Keun Sejin, who was scrolling through his phone, smiled.
