Chapter 151

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

I quickly scrolled down.

‘It’s already popped up.’

The aggro that I had guessed from the time the first week’s footage was aired began to run wild on the internet.

‘These things usually start with a light feeling out.’

As if it’s a compliment.

‘Found it.’

I clicked on the post.

========================
[What do you think if Park Moondae comes out as a solo?]
: Since he’s 1st place in Ajusa, the fandom is big, and since he’s a main vocal with good concept digestion, he’d be good for going solo. Male solos are a rare species, but I think Park Moondae would do wellㅋㅋㅋ
========================

This kind of bait is originally smoothed over quickly by fans, but the situation turned out slightly differently now.

It’s because general viewers, whose favor reached its peak due to the variety show, were reacting openly and favorably.

– Seeing , it seems it would be okay
– Will he do solo activities later?? I’m looking forward to it a bitㅋㅋ
– I want to hear a lot of his songs. That concept? stuff is cool tooㅠㅠ
– Honestly, I don’t think he’d failㅋㅋㅋㅋ

It looked good on the surface, but the problem was that it was significantly better than usual.

‘It must have been good to use as firewood.’

For when posting a post like this later.

========================
[Teastar member who is showing off he wants to go solo insanely]
: Exactly Park Moondae
Absence from schedules under the pretext of health for a month just before appearing in a solo variety show + No reaction in various group schedules
(W Live absence notice)
(Summer Package video GIF)
In the midst of this, he works hard on the ones he shoots aloneㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
(Interview video)
It wasn’t once or twice, but like this for a whole month, so there were many fans who felt something was off, but it all exploded with this timeㅋㅋ
The prevailing theory is that it’s a dead giveaway because it’s visible that he’s doing his best only on what he does solo recently
And the fans can’t hide it either
(Capture)
Don’t pray for solo while pretending to be other fans or pretending to be uninterested, please it’s obvious so stop (Praying hands emoticon)
========================

The tactic was to stitch together the reaction captures of the ‘Park Moondae solo’ feeling-out posts and upload them with this kind of post.

And the main thing was the attitude controversy.

‘……I was uncomfortable after all.’

I knew that the contents filmed when my state wasn’t good could become prey someday. This was a post that used that well like a textbook.

But actually, what was being aimed at here was not general public opinion.

‘In plain words, it’s not a big problem whether I go solo or not.’

If they had mocked me because my results were bad when I really came out as a solo, that would have been one thing, but right then when I was gaining the most favor, I would have received advocacy no matter what.

It was like this.

– ??? Can’t Park Moondae go solo?ㅋㅋㅋ His skill is good too, really what aㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Such an inferiority complex towards a kid who was sick is too pathetic. I heard Teastar’s personal fans have a lot of mental illnesses, and it’s exactly like that…
– Since Park Moondae is doing well, why are you so anxious to not be able to eat him? If being sick is a condition problem, it often lasts for a month
– I would have wanted to go solo rather than being in a group with such malicious personal fans attached, f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋ
– Teastar is f*cking tiring with every post that’s uploaded. Please don’t display it and fight among yourselves

Even if a fight broke out and comments became long and classified as popular posts, public opinion didn’t flip.

So the target being aimed at here was… the discord within the Teastar fandom.

It was to stiffen the fandom atmosphere that liked the group itself, and to set an atmosphere where malicious personal fans of members could easily check and obstruct each other.

So another point of argument was brought from here.

It was the fact that the date the second filming of Park Moondae’s was aired was the same as Teastar’s 1st anniversary.

– It’s the 1st anniversary but plastering only Park Moondae’s posts was really too much. I don’t know if he has no tact or if he’s not looking
– Whether it’s May Bridegroom or Bride, I’m not interested. Just don’t damage the group content Gommeo-ya
– Park Moondae was looking like death every time the kids did something throughout Summer Package, I was totally heart-broken. Especially why are you like that to Chungwoo? Do you hate him more because he’s the leader?
– Couldn’t you have set the schedule while avoiding it a bit? I didn’t know you would do it so without considerationㅋㅋㅋㅋ

If I had known the reaction to would be this good, I would have.

‘…I was aiming for a level where fans would find it appropriately fun.’

Who would have known that it would become a bigger topic than the group’s 1st anniversary? I thought it would be a double celebration.

Anyway, if a bit more time passed from here, the controversy flowed more comprehensively.

It was to encourage skepticism about group activities themselves.

– Moondae-ya, do you want to go solo?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ where did the initial mindset go, getting an artist disease and doing a great job, please wake up
– These days Seon Ahyun also shot a solo ad, I wondered why everyone’s individual schedules increased, and it turns out Park Moondae set the atmosphereㅎ
– Since it’s come to this, let’s go separately. Make SNS separately too, really… it’s boring to hear news of others that I’m not even interested in

If the 1st anniversary was that important, there’s no way they would post a post saying each member should go separately from the day after the 1st anniversary.

‘So the ones who uploaded this were, in the first place, people who aren’t group fans.’

Of course, Teastar had shaken off much of the fact that they were from a survival show that received individual votes.

It meant the identity as a group had become quite solid through the album worldview and various contents.

But personal fans were still not few, and there would certainly be people who were shaken if shaken in this way.

…That much was a fact everyone who was interested knew.

So naturally, it was the basic posture of a member of society to prepare countermeasures.

I changed the smartphone screen to a call.

“Yes, hello. …Yes. Thank you. It’s not anything else, I have something to inquire about.”

After a short conversation with the company like that, I talked to the person involved who happened to be sitting next to me.

“Raebin-a.”

“Yes?”

Kim Raebin, who was distracted listening to his own song, turned around in surprise.

“They say the interview will go out right away in the evening.”

It was as scheduled.

“Ah!”

At that moment, Kim Raebin’s face brightened. Um, still, he looks as sharp as ever.

“Because it was a very meaningful interview, I’m already looking forward to it!”

“Indeed.”

I leaned my back against the backrest.

This kind of thing didn’t even rank as an anxiety.

* * *

In the evening, when Park Moondae’s name recognition is still rising due to ‘May Bridegroom’ externally, and aggro is running wild internally within the fandom.

An interview popped up on Wetube.

It was exactly an interview content operated by a Wetube channel under MBS, which produced .

[I brought a marriage certificate…☆ I’ve invited the producers of May Bridegroom! 《TT’s Sweeterview》 EP.47 by MBS2]

On the thumbnail, Park Moondae and… Kim Raebin were floating.

‘Kim Raebin?’
‘Bundle-selling…?’

People who clicked while being slightly flustered by another member appearing suddenly soon learned the full story of the matter.

First, a warm and obvious story came out that Kim Raebin gave advice on Park Moondae’s arrangement for each round.

The main point was after that.

[TT: Wow! Then was that final stage song composed by Raebin-ssi??]
[Raebin: Yes. Of course, I did not handle the entire production process alone, and it is a fact that I tried to oversee the work leadingly. So, since the copyright share is the largest, I could give it as a birthday present for Moondae hyung…….]
[It doesn’t end…!]

Whether it was too hard to endure, it went into fast-forward. It was a path even fans would recognize.

And a large subtitle appeared.

[Raebin-ssi… his constitution is more TMI than expected]
[Summary: It means it was composed under Raebin-ssi’s lead and was a birthday present for Mr. Moondae]

Anyway, the delivery of the content was certain.

The song ‘May Bridegroom’ sang in the finals was a song composed by a Teastar member.

That is, it was an unreleased self-composed song.

Then why was this song unreleased.

[Moondae: Actually, we’re having a comeback soon… and it’s a song from that album.]
[TT: Heu-uh-uh-uh!!]

That’s right.

The corresponding song, ‘Flower Moon,’ was one of the songs of Teastar’s next album.

[Moondae: Solo songs for each member are included in this album, and they are really cool songs, so for the sake of introducing them quickly… I tried singing it.]
[TT: Wow! Then once the album comes out, we’ll be able to hear the song that’s currently on the music sites in a slightly different recorded version?]
[Moondae: That’s correct.]
[TT, who shows her experience in PPL]

In a word, it meant he sang that song also to promote the group album.

[Moondae: Actually, other members’ songs are also really all good. I happened to have the chance to sing first, but… right?]
[Raebin: Objectively, since Moondae hyung has the most outstanding vocal ability, if we compare just the simple audio, the superiority is…….]
[Moondae: (Hurriedly) Yes. Please look forward to other songs of the upcoming album a lot.]
[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

The subtitle burst into laughter at Park Moondae’s struggle.

[TT: Ah~ You two are really fun! I laughed a lot!]
[Raebin: Thank you! (Bright)]
[Moondae: Thank you. (Tibet)]

The interview proceeded lightly and humorously within a range that wasn’t that rude, and also drew out appropriate small-talk-style conversation.

[TT: Ah, they say you were quite sick before appearing on ……?]
[Moondae: Yes…. I failed to manage my condition for about a month as I was leaving the country, and I felt very sorry because the members took care of me a lot. So, appearing on this time was very meaningful. Because I could contribute something to the group after a long time….]
[Raebin: Hyung…….]
[TT: What’s this, what’s this moving atmosphere! You’re in a state where your health is okay now, right Mr. Moondae?]
[Moondae: I am in a state where I couldn’t be healthier than this.]
[Healthy Moondae puppy]

Actually, this part wasn’t even something Park Moondae aimed for.

It was just a question put in to reassure people who might have been worried for a month, but it became an additional jackpot.

Anyway, the participants and the interviewer who brushed off the corresponding topic as if it were nothing followed up with the question-and-answer session smoothly, then finished the short 12-minute interview video.

[Moondae: All of Teastar will appear together.]
[Raebin: I’m already looking forward to it. I think it will be very harmonious.]
[TT: Yesss~~! Then while waiting for the interview with Mr. Big Sejin, who is said to be my soul twin~ I’ll end the interview! Please take the marriage certificate with you, Bridegroom-nim!]
[Moondae: Sounds good.]

The interview ended with Park Moondae picking up the marriage certificate with a smile.

And at the same time, articles erupted everywhere.

Half were what had been prepared, and half were what reacted to the interview.

[Teastar comeback countdown… ‘May Bridegroom’ Park Moondae’s song was an album preview]
[Teastar’s summer comeback. Is the concept horror?]
[The comeback of trending group Teastar, ‘The schedule is already all out’]

It was a natural thing, but the attention of fans turned to the news of the comeback in an instant.

– Uaaagh Teastar comeback!!
– Gasp, Moondae’s song is a B-side track of the new album gasp
– Moondae has a plan for everything
– Crazy, it was Raebin’s song?? No wonder my heart was racing. It must have recognized its owner
– No way, is the whole album in that kind of atmosphere? Insane, I’ll hold my breath until Teastar comebacks

As the finishing touch, Teastar uploaded a photo of their 1st anniversary party to their account.

========================
Our Loviewers♡ Thank you for being together with Teastar for as many as 365 days!
Please be our Loviewers in the future too♡ We want to continue being Teastar too♡ Between us forever☆
(The cake in the photo is sponsored by the Leader-hyungnim and the youngest. It was delicious.)
(Photo)
========================

It was for showing off, ‘Even though it’s not a schedule, we’re close enough to take care of and eat the 1st anniversary commemorative cake by ourselves.’

– What to do with our kids’ hearts ㅠㅠ
– Group of consideration and bond. Let’s go for a long time my stars. (Edited photo)
– Both Moondae who thought of album promotion as soon as he got better and the members who took care of the sick Moondae really make me cry. Loviewer life is the best

Since the teaser for the interview had been uploaded to SNS quite early, trying to bite and hang on saying it was ‘done for excuse purposes to block controversy’ didn’t work.

– Open the pre-order quickly, you T1 guys!!

In this way, the controversy that was originally a storm in a teacup was quickly subsided by the people excited by the news of the comeback.

As in Park Moondae’s prediction shot, the topicality ‘May Bridegroom’ had was not consumed much and was in a state of being connected smoothly to Teastar’s comeback.

And Park Moondae, the party involved in all these matters, was in the middle of a new schedule.

“Long time no see, hoobaenim.”
