Chapter 417

Chapter 417

TeStar fans were already familiar with various incidents, from behind-the-scenes fights by malicious individual fans to the spread of rumors and agency aggro.

Of course, negative things weren't the only things they were familiar with.

They became happily accustomed to the jaw-dropping stage quality, thoughtful fan service, cute little stories, and heartwarming group episodes.

However, there was something ambiguous about whether they should like it at all. This was the nature of TeStar's entertainment shows.

-TeStar Entertainment Show = Hell Party

-This is all because of the production team.

-They sent them there to heal, but gave up when they were in trouble ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

It was fun.

TeStar's entertainment show had a high popularity batting average, thanks to the fact that they were fun and the plots became hot topics easily.

In the meantime, the feeling of 'idols caught up in entertainment' was stronger than that of actual professional entertainers, so their images were still strong.

Fans enjoyed the content and flow, but at the same time, they had other thoughts.

-I just want to see kids do whatever they want without thinking at least once.

-Sometimes I think that it must be too hard for the kids. ㅠㅠ They're the ones who are busy with their day jobs.

Since the group has been through many ups and downs since their debut, there was a subtle demand for the group to play comfortably without any obstacles.

Moreover, since their main occupations weren't professional entertainers, wasn't it common for them to escape from their daily lives and enjoy quiet healing?

'Observational healing trip!'

But now… All of a sudden, the members came to do that.

At first, all the fans liked it.

-The kids went camping, made s'mores, went horseback riding, and played with sheep. It's crazy that they even took Mungae with themㅠㅠㅠ

-Eh

-Hey, why isn't there anything?

Until they realized there wasn't a single photo.

Loviewers were surprised.

Overall, it was a good thing. The kids smiled brightly, saying they would work harder for the concert since they had a good rest. They also looked good and full of passion as if they had eaten and slept well.

But that was it.

-No, wait

-Why are you bullying Loviewers?

-How could you do this?

They thought there was at least a video for their content.

Moreover, there were signs that emerged from the W app.

[Here's some water. But you have to sit up and drink it.]

[Hehe!]

[Wow, aren't we going to explode like this? Everyone is lying down.]

Originally, they were very close as a group. But this time, it felt like something more had been removed between them.

-Wow, the kids are talking quietly.

-(Confucian rabbits are excluded)

Throughout the W Live, there was a comfortable atmosphere as if everyone was open to each other, and it was a little melancholy to hear them listen to each other.

A sight full of unity, as If they had disbanded and then reunited. It was meaningful.

-It seems like the whole group has reached the maximum level.

-What did they do?

-Let us know! Let us know! ㅜㅠㅠㅠㅠ

W Live viewers cried even more when they guessed that something like a turning point in the narrative had happened at the camp they had visited.

And as they watched the members panicking as if they didn't feel any problem about not taking a single photo, they realized the cause of this situation.

… TeStar had no idea that there would be a demand for something like this.

-The kids always do stupid things on entertainment shows, so now they think that pure healing is boring. What should we do? ㅠㅠ

-Park Moondae, don't look at us like that. It's your fault for not taking a single picture even though you're so good at taking pictures, but I'm relieved because you're cute.

-Guys, I think the kids played better because they were comfortable without cameras… Of course, I'm still going crazy though.

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Everyone is so sorry that I can't even cry ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋ

TeStar saw the fans crying and screaming in the comments and did their best to explain what they had done.

[Hmm… Oh, at the sheep ranch, Eugene tried herding sheep like a shepherd dog, and it really worked. It was so funny!]

[That's right. The owner laughed.]

It was counterproductive.

-Ughhhhh

-Okay guys, I respect your wonderful camp experience ㅋㅋ (I'm actually crying right now. I wish they would sell it for money)

-They sound so fun and happy. This is jealousy.

And this wave of desire quickly began to take over fan communities and social media accounts along with TeStar's drive broadcast.

• * *

It had been a few days after returning from the glamping trip.

-Hello, TeStar~ How are you?

"… Yes. We're doing well."

I received a phone call while I was in the midst of preparing for the tour.

To be exact, Ryu Chungwoo was the one who received the call, but he shook his head and handed it over to me.

"How are you, PD?"

He was the representative producer of the entertainment division that created various gems of entertainment, from the entertainment show that made us sell hotteok overseas to the one with the carrot coins.

And I already guessed what this person was going to say.

-Oh, we're doing well! And it seemed like TeStar was like that too. We heard about it as well.

"What?"

-Glamping~ Ah, TeStar's healing camp!

Yeah, I expected this. I was silent for a moment, thinking about the Internet situation over the past few days.

'… I didn't know people would be so encouraged.'

It seemed that the lack of any video evidence actually maximized fans' curiosity and expectations.

-TeStar enjoyed a crazy vacation with all kinds of entertainment, including cooking, camping, hot springs, horseback riding, and animals…

TeStar Glamping, which only lasted 5 days and 4 nights based on what fans said, was turning into a rare camping entertainment that mixed emotion, comedy, and healing.

Moreover, in that atmosphere, something sweet came out of it.

[Can I post something like this? TeStar review.]

I was working part-time at a glamping site when they suddenly appeared in funny and suspicious outfits and checked in handsomely. I thought it was Operation 007.

This is a proof shot (photo)

They took this picture with me willingly when they checked out. Everyone was really nice and polite, and Mungae was cute.

If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments.

Starting with a review from a long-suffering part-time worker, promotional posts from the campsite owner, and eyewitness accounts from employees at sheep ranches and horseback riding ranges were posted.

The photos and short videos served as indirect evidence and a great piece of cake.

-Cha Eugene… Riding a horse is crazy. 23,413,241,324 cowboy movies will be casting him now.

-Wow, it's like the sun started shining when he was petting the sheep. Seon Ahyeon is the Bambi Elk Prince…

-Why does Ryu Chungwoo have the physique of an ultimate boss CEO? No, I love it.

Short, shaky, low-quality videos taken with smartphones and a few proof shots made fans even more thirsty.

'There are definitely traces that it was there, but there is no substance…''

Even people who tried to find traces by renting the caravan and tent that TeStar used ended up getting scolded and bullied off the platform while broadcasting the story on social media.

-How should we control these Dogviewers? This is just an invasion of privacy.

└TeStar, they're the ones who were making a fuss about it and telling their stories. Isn't that the reason for such an invasion of privacy? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Having a mindset like yours is why this keeps happening.

-It's funny how things are going these days. TeStar were worried that you guys would be like this, so they went away quietly among themselves, you idiots.

Just before things started to go crazy, the tour was promoted on a large scale and things calmed down a bit, but there were still traces.

We barely managed to keep the extremely built-up excitement from overheating.

Still, the atmosphere of protesting and calling for a healing show still remained.

I clicked my tongue inwardly.

'I guess I gained less insight after being in a group in a different time zone for 10 months?'

Now, it was prohibited to turn on the live broadcast with the stupid idea of just trying it out without thinking about the consequences.

Anyway, wasn't it obvious what the entertainment production team that originally worked with us would say in this situation?

-The term is a bit short, but the timing is great, right? The healing entertainment we originally promised! It's tour season, so let's go, TeStar.

The creation of supply.

Let's film the promised TeStar healing entertainment now.

"Entertainment?"

"Ah~ Is it the PD? Long time no see, PD Jeong!"

The guys who were dozing off in the car were slowly starting to react.

And the producer, who eagerly returned the greeting, started business without even taking another breath.

-Even though we were pressed for time, we made proper preparations to host TeStar.

The producer said they were planning a content series exclusively for WeTube on their channel which had over 3 million subscribers.

And he wanted to introduce TeStar as the first guests there.

-Wouldn't it be best to have a break during the tour?

I looked around.

'Should we set the mood with a show of hands?'

But Ryu Chungwoo smiled first and opened his mouth.

"Shall we do whatever Moondae wants?"

Hmm?

"That's great… !"

"That's right~ To be honest, Moondaemoondae can decide this."

"It is appropriate to say this because Moondae hyung felt the greatest sense of betrayal during the last 'That House's Grandson' entertainment show."

Okay.

In the last entertainment show… Since I was the one who got screwed over the most, it seemed like the right to proceed had been given back to me.

I looked at my smartphone for a moment and nodded.

"It sounds good."

-Oooh!

It would be right to relieve the fandom atmosphere here.

Anyway, if it were broadcast during the tour season, it wouldn't be necessary to focus on the topic so much. It could just be thought of as a resting episode.

"Healing entertainment… This is the last time I will trust the production team."

-I swear right here and now. I'll put my entire entertainment career on the line!

"Don't tell me you're planning on betraying your entertainment career then?"

There was silence for a moment.

-… … Moondae-ssi, we are sorry. No, this is the first time an idol has ever distrusted us like this.

The PD continued talking in a trembling voice.

Of course, it was a funny situation.

-You must have been really hurt. I'm in tears.

"No."

No, you bastard.

"Ha!"

On the other end of the phone, I could hear the writers dragging their feet and suppressing laughter.

Coincidentally, something similar was happening around here. I hit the laughing Keun Sejin on the back.

"Ack!"

"Anyway, so that's how things will go. We're looking forward to it."

With Ryu Chungwoo's handling, everything was sorted out.

-Please take care of us~

In this way, the WeTube version of TeStar's healing entertainment show was confirmed.

• * *

And after an urgent meeting and practice…

Filming began from the moment we boarded the plane and left the country for the tour.

"We're here to save you time."

"Oh my!"

The production team said they couldn't give up even on a gag like this, so they performed a surprise appearance at a stopover.

It was so loud that It seemed like the airport lounge had somehow allowed it.

'I guess they really don't intend to scam us.'

Seeing that they were doing all of this, it looked it would really be a healing show this time.

When I saw the PD with angel wings, I understood the mood and nodded.

"Now, since you who are going on tour shouldn't have to worry about anything other than the stage, we have made a choice to fully respect your wishes!"

"Oh, oh."

"Right away… It's self-planning!"

Soon, the PD with a solemn expression told the story that had already been discussed.

'It's simple.'

1. TeStar members are paired up and each team creates a healing course of their choice.

"And everyone takes turns enjoying it! No exceptions or manipulation."

"Oooh~"

2. One person who wins the mini-game can create the healing course of his choice.

"Congratulations, Raebin!"

"Congratulations!"

Kim Raebin was the one who won here.

Kim Raebin nodded eagerly with an expression that the reward he got from playing a random board game was undeserved.

"I will create an efficient course that everyone can enjoy and won't feel pressured by… !"

"No, it's okay, Raebin, do what you want!"

It was heartwarming.

The atmosphere felt like it would create a truly healing, peaceful, and stress-free scene.

'Hmm.'

Moreover, the conditions were like that.

"There's no need to check each other's courses. You can really do whatever you want to do~"

"Yes!"

We could just do whatever we wanted.

The only things that existed were travel expenses and time restrictions, but without them, it would create a sense of incongruity, so it was right to have them.

Now, finally, let's look at the two-person teams formed within TeStar.

"Shall we do this?"

"… ! It sounds fine."

Team 1 was Ryu Chungwoo and Seon Ahyeon. Their team name was 〈Happy Trip〉.

"Oh, this place looks nice."

"… Isn't it a bit too much for our budget? I'm okay with doing this and less of the other things."

"No, I think it looks good, hyung~ Let's look at other activities too!"

The name of Team 2 was 〈Sejinz〉. Of course, it was the team formed by Lee Sejin and Bae Sejin.

I nodded.

'It's already coming out.'

Either way, they would come out with a good healing course without any problems.

The previous team was naturally gentle guys, and the two guys with the same name had opposite tastes, so if they compromised in front of the entertainment cameras, they would end up with a popular course.

'If that's the case…'

This meant that eventually, there would be a team that provided some excitement.

I looked back at my teammate.

"Hyung! Can I be the leader?"

"Yes. Sure."

Cha Eugene was accessing the Internet with his eyes shining.

Yes.

Team 3: Cha Eugene and Park Moondae.

-Team name: 〈We will do what we want to do〉

Our team was comprised of an American guy who chased sheep while imitating a shepherd dog when we went camping and a Korean guy who first introduced himself on a survival show by eating chicken feet.

This was why image was important.

'Healing is inherently a subjective expression.'

I looked back at my reliable team member and began to make a killing—no, healing plan.
