Chapter 120

===================

Not long after, the problematic part began to appear on the monitoring screen.

The cut of members, including me, pulling out the accompaniment in-ears passed, and then.

‘…I hope the slipping doesn’t get highlighted too much.’

Seon Ahyun did something great enough that it could be called a cleanup, but how the before and after pictures were captured was another issue.

But it was a useless worry.

“……!”

“Wow.”

Seon Ahyun doing a backflip and the two on both sides holding his back… because it looked like a completely intended performance.

‘Is it a matter of proficiency?’

It was at a level where it was hard to believe he did it without practice.

Because the impression of the aerial somersault was so strong, the previous slip also looked like a part of the movement.

The fact that the floor was dark and the in-ear caught on his foot was not well-seen also played a part.

Moreover, thanks to the front cut capturing the overall choreography being included at the right time, the frozen expressions from surprise were not well-seen.

…Let’s move past the fact that for that part, it was correct for the choreography to stop briefly and a close-up to be included……

‘Anyway, it came out well.’

It was the best result. Big Sejin whistled.

“Oh~ Ahyun’s resourcefulness~”

“Cool!”

Seon Ahyun’s face turned bright red.

“It was really great! Was it a move you prepared in advance for a case where such a problem might arise?”

“I, it’s not like that. I, just…… I thought, I shouldn’t fall, so I, I tried it…!”

“Great!”

Seon Ahyun could not hide his joy with a flushed face at the continuing praise.

Hmm, let’s start by praising him too.

“It came out as if intended. It seems cooler than our original choreography.”

“…! I, it’s not to that extent but……. T, thanks, I’ll work harder…!”

“Applause~”

The members sent a shower of applause.

When even a few staff members nearby laughed and mimicked clapping, Seon Ahyun became a face that seemed out of his mind with embarrassment and pride.

‘Let’s let him enjoy it a bit more.’

I intentionally spent a bit more time in the waiting room.

And in a lull, I talked to Seon Ahyun again.

“Seon Ahyun.”

“Y, yes?”

“I’m really grateful for the cleanup earlier, but I think it’s okay not to do it to this extent in the future.”

Seon Ahyun’s face immediately turned pale.

“W, why…?”

His reaction was more hypersensitive than expected.

I thought it would be okay after receiving overflowing praise just now.

‘I should choose my words well.’

“Because you could be seriously injured. I think it’s too dangerous to do impulsively.”

Then Ryu Chungwoo, who had a complex expression, eventually added words.

“Right Ahyun-ah, I’m really grateful and you did well but…… let’s be careful about injuries. It could really be a big problem if you hit from your head.”

As he had retired because of the aftereffects of an injury, he seemed to be concerned about this too.

“I, I’m sorry.”

Seon Ahyun replied with a trembling voice. The excited mood disappeared completely, as if self-reproach had raised its head. Ryu Chungwoo was flustered.

“It’s not something to apologize for! Ahyun-ah, I’m just saying it because I’m worried.”

Big Sejin, who was watching the situation, stepped in.

“Hmm~ Is there really a need for that? Ahyun was a dance major~ He probably checked his own body and did it. Isn’t that right?”

“…Y, yes.”

I don’t think so.

Seon Ahyun had a tendency to overdo it a bit self-destructively when he felt pressure.

Probably this time too, with the thought that he had to clean it up first, he probably did the move that seemed coolest without considering the risks.

But it was the timing to soothe him. I contemplated, then opened my mouth.

“…Of course, you did better than imagined this time. I’m just saying it because I’m worried. …It’s good to do it healthily for a long time, isn’t it?”

“……! Y, y-yes! I, I’ll be careful!”

“Right.”

Fortunately, Seon Ahyun’s code seemed to have passed to emotion when focusing on ‘worry’. It was a relief that he was a style to be impressed by trivial interpersonal relationships.

But this time, Bae Sejin apologized to the team members with a dark face.

‘Why you again.’

“…I’m sorry. Because I dropped the in-ear.”

I somehow felt it would be like this.

“That’s an accident! You must have been surprised, but you finished well until the end, Sejin-ah.”

“That’s right. Since it was wrongly fixed, I think it was completely in the domain of luck.”

“Hyung’s in-ear wire was strange. Not hyung, but the in-ear should apologize!”

“R, right! The in-ear apologizes……?”

The flustered Seon Ahyun tried to agree but got caught up in Cha Yujin’s grammar error.

And as if this flow was getting annoying, Big Sejin cut off the conversation.

“Haha, how about we just celebrate that we handled it well and move on? Everything finished well, so why is the atmosphere like this~”

That was true.

Ryu Chungwoo replied with a smile.

“Right, everyone did so well today! Let’s take care of our bodies and do well in the future too. 5 years is long.”

“Uh-huh~ Hyung-nim, weren’t we going together until the contract renewal? Let’s do 10 years, 10 years~”

“Haha! I see. Let’s do well for 10 years!”

“Yep!”

“Good!”

While saying things that would horrify Bae Sejin as if it were nothing, the team members ended the conversation with self-celebration.

And I was satisfied too.

‘Anyway, the stage was good.’

I thought internet reactions would also be settled with this.

Probably it would conclude with something like ‘Teastar really performs well’.

I prepared to go out to the ending stage while expecting like that. It was a group stage of the cast with a veteran singer.

“It’s a song my grandmother likes!”

I’ll just say that Kim Raebin was uniquely excited.

And after the broadcast was all over, at a time close to midnight.

The internet opinion I checked after getting into the car was flowing quite interestingly.

* * *

The reaction immediately after Teastar’s KBC stage was full of praise, as Park Moondae expected.

========================

[Teastar’s KBC Gayo Daechukje Magic Boy + Airplane Stage That Just Ended]

(Video)

=======================

-Wow, the live

-Are they good at this kind of concept too

-I gasped seeing the aerial somersault in the middle

-It was insane, seriously, it’s just amazing that that’s possible with a completely raw live;

-What, is it lipsync?

└No way with an orchestral live

└What are you saying, you can lay AR even for a live accompaniment

└Ah really? Then it might be lipsync~ thx thx

└Cha Yujin intentionally enters the rap one beat late in the middle, what kind of nonsense is this, these guys are just leaving comments without even watching the video hahaha

└At this point, it seems like there is a team with the same name, Teastar, in the delusions of the mentally ill

-Doing so well

-What’s up with Seon Ahyun’s somersault

-Among the year-end arrangements, this one seems the best. I wish they’d release the sound source

-I knew our Ahyunie was an angel, but I didn’t know he’d even authenticate it on terrestrial broadcast like this, flying in the sky… now it’s official

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ look at the fan-service

-Bae Sejin is disappointing every time, I wish they wouldn’t give him the ending

└Eh wasn’t he good this time?

└I was actually surprised because he was better at raw live than I thought;

└It’s just that Sejin has few parts, he has never failed to handle his own parts ㅠㅠ

The attempts to scrape them down here and there in the middle were cleanly blocked. It was a complete solidification.

However, the point Park Moondae didn’t expect was that the reaction to pulling out the in-ear was good.

And that, very much.

-Pulling out the in-ear is really heart-fluttering. It doesn’t feel like a rookie and it’s a very professional feeling hahaha

-Probably if you go into SNS now, the number of edited GIFs with different corrections would be as much as human imagination hahahaha

└Real hahahahahahahahaha

└I’ll probably watch it for each member hahahaha

└It’s already coming into my account timeline even though I’m not a fan… Park Moondae is handsome, I’ll put him in my bag

└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ d*mn

-Because each of their feelings is slightly different, I keep watching it haha

└Right! haha

-My pick is the tall member who pulls it out while smiling slightly as if frowning haha because the eye smile is charming haha Can someone tell me his name?

└Big Sejin

└??? Is there a Mr. Big…?

└Ah hahaha he is Lee Sejin! Our kid is big and cute so Big Sejin is his nickname, thank you for liking him! (Big Sejin photo)

The scene where Teastar members pulled out one in-ear was mostly clearly captured by the camera and became good content.

Because it was the chorus choreography part of ‘Airplane’, it was thanks to all members being caught evenly.

And the fans came to spend a pleasant and comfortable time after a long time.

-KBC, release individual fancams for each member. I want to see other angles of the in-ear pulling out GIF too ㅠ

-Want to see the genius idol live that beats the foot-quality sound? You’ve come to the right place (Video)

-I really like the KBC stage concept. It’s like a large-scale fairy tale feeling, so if you put it next to SBC’s chic stage, it’s nothing short of a narrative generator (Comparison GIF)

-There is a choreography where Moondae and Bae Se face each other and shake their heads when passing from Magic Boy to Airplane. Could it be a spoiler for the next album? (GIF)

-Moondae’s KBC work-arrival outfit is birthday support authentication from head to toe… oh my (Summary photo)

In this atmosphere where words that pick a fight or sarcasm didn’t pop out, the fans were more than happy.

It was around that time when people who were rewatching the stage video discovered something strange.

The first start was the chatter account of a fan who corrected video materials and so on.

-I discovered it while making a close-up GIF, but it seems like Ahyun slipped before doing the somersault… wait a sec.

└??

└Teacher?

└What

-I went and watched it again… it seems right. Because there was something under Ahyun’s foot, he was about to fall and Chungwoo and Moondae caught him. (Capture)

-There, to make up for the fact that he was about to slip, Ahyun just did a somersault. If you look, both Chungwoo and Moondae’s expressions froze. (Capture)

└Insane

└That was an accident cleanup…?

In an instant, the fans began to analyze by rewatching even the minute parts of the video.

And not long after, they even discovered the cause of the problem.

-Bae Se’s in-ear fell… the person in charge must have fixed it wrongly (Floor capture)

└Oh my god

└Ah I’m going crazy

└Ah the pride is rising but at the same time I’m so p*ssed, what if the kids got hurt…

└If you look closely, Sejin is shaking his hand at the ending ah ㅠㅠㅠ

└Insane then is Ahyun’s somersault an ad-lib?;; Is that possible for a human?

The news of the fans who were in a mess soon spread to general entertainment communities.

========================

[It seems there was a stage accident on Teastar’s KBC stage]

: (Link to summary post)

One line summary: Everything from ‘in-ear to ending’ was the result of Teastar cleaning up a stage accident

========================

-Gasp

-What is this, is it real?

-It seems like fitting together…

-If the fans are only noticing now because they handled it so calmly, it’s really a great thing

-Where is a male idol who does a somersault to clean up a stage mistake, they probably just did the choreography hahahaha

└It’s not a mistake, it’s an accident. And looking at Teastar’s tracks since Ajusa, they seem like guys enough to do that…

└If it fell on the floor while they were pulling out the in-ear themselves, it’s a mistake. Please wake up from the fans’ delusions hahahaha

└I’m another fan passing by, but normally the in-ear doesn’t fall to the floor even if you pull it out, and this is a prop accident

-Are you sure about the in-ear on the floor? It just looks like an optical illusion…

└It’s an in-ear, here (Capture photo with brightness adjusted more)

└Heol it’s real

└Insane he really tripped over it

-Looking at the kids’ expressions, it seems right??

-Seon Ahyun’s backflip seems like the original choreography though, even if it’s true he handled it calmly

└I vote for this too

└But the movement where members grab him in case he falls enters first. It’s ambiguous to see it as an accidental match of movements

Opinions of ‘it’s right, it’s not’ were rampant on every SNS and related community, and it became a mess.

-Uaaa I’m going crazy, someone quickly ask the Teastar account hahahahahaha

-The conclusion is not being reached haha

And interestingly, right after that, a communication channel with Teastar in real time was created.

=======================

[Heol Teastar W-Live is here]

: (Link)

=======================

It was Teastar’s W-Live.

The first real-time communication after a long time since the Rookie of the Year award controversy started with a grand title.
