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

Chapter 228

Creating an artist-exclusive team for TeStar.

Though on the surface, it was supposed to be carried out by the Planning and Coordination Department, I anticipated that it would likely also involve input from the headquarters.

'Knowing that guy, there's no way he's going to fall for it.'

Even if it was an instruction from the headquarters, he would probably want to adjust the direction to his liking.

So, to intervene under the guise of adjustments, I was considering gently nudging the Management Department once more.

I had thought about creating an opening even if I had to accept some extra mules from there...

But there was no need for that.

'They just went along with it.'

- Oh, of course! Naturally, the opinions of TeStar members should be reflected...

By simply hinting at our objectives, a declaration of surrender was made as they ensured that TeStar's desires would be maximally reflected in the planning of the exclusive team.

'What's going on?'

I wondered how this could be possible, but upon closer inspection, it was quite straightforward.

The reason was largely due to the exceptionally positive sign from this activity.

Even after just one week of promotions, the response exceeded expectations.

It went beyond simple metrics like album sales and music charts, reaching into the realm of perceived impact.

People, even those who were not fans, were watching and following along or commenting on it, with discussions cropping up in various unrelated internet communities and everyday life.

WeTube entertainment channels affiliated with popular broadcasting stations quickly adopted and adapted music video elements.

In a nutshell, this could be summarized as follows.

'It's the beginning of a trend.'

In fact, I could feel it even on stage.

Just yesterday, during a cultural and arts promotion event, the performance was broadcast live on national television.

- Oooh~

I could feel the fans of other groups being especially enthusiastic about our stage.

Even the fans of VTIC.

Until now, even while fans of other idols were enjoying the show, there was a sense that VTIC's fans were restraining their excitement to some extent. But that feeling had disappeared.

This meant that there was already a shared bond around the trend.

No matter how internet-savvy the idol fanbase was, to think it all happened in just one week.

'...Of course, the response from our fans was more than usual too.'

The tearing gasps and screams that had been incessantly ringing through my in-ears automatically came to mind.
