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

Chapter 205

'I believe that you can do well on your own.'

At first glance, this sounded like a nice statement that expressed trust and faith, but when it came from your superior, it meant one of two things:

'Figure it out yourself', or 'If it fails, it's your fault'.

And this guy, the management department's chief, was unwittingly making remarks that contained both of these meanings.

'If TeStar doesn't generate global results during these promotions, it would immediately give the director a justification to barge in.'

It was obvious. The director would be saying something like, 'As expected, you should do what I say to make it work in the global market'.

'Naturally, TeStar's right to speak will weaken compared to now.'

We barely managed to build up our authority to this point, so this kind of situation in this shitty clueless company was no different from a landmine.

However, it would also be a problem to withdraw from this and show that TeStar was not confident in making a global hit with this album.

Because the director would also use that as a reason to intervene.

In short, we were stuck in a dilemma.

'This director bastard played us.'

It wasn't like I expected anything less from a parachute bastard, but it still pissed me off.

//TN: parachute = a person who got hired in a high position through connections

"Of course, we will do our best to produce good results, but we can't guarantee to hit the mark every time..."

"What? No, you just have to do what you have been doing so far. Don't worry!"

Meaning, the section chief was only concerned about his own speaking rights in the company, so of course, he high-handedly concluded that TeStar would continue its usual upward trend.

'You can just do what you've always done~', he says, without ever considering the burden on the singer.

It was very parachute-like to not know what it was like to suffer on the front line.

"...Mm, yes."

In the end, Ryu Chungwoo also shut his mouth.

He must have realized that seriously refusing at this point would just make the group look pathetic.

'Damn it.'

For this single, we had already minimized the arrangement and the choreography to make it lighter and more appealing. Because we wanted to accommodate the domestic recognition gained through the reality show.

'We even made the choreography for the chorus points easier to follow.'

With a few weeks left until the comeback, we had to redo all our objectives.

Once again, we were facing the same hellfire as during our debut.

"..."

Was there no way out of this?

I quickly shook my head.

'TeStar is also slowly getting out of the rookie phase, so if we could just squeeze something in...'

At that moment, Kim Raebin raised his hand and threw the fastball.
