Become an Idol or Become Deceased! [fan translation] P.2

Chapter 272

TL by Miru

We even did a short promotional run with the newly announced remix song, thanks to the overwhelmingly positive response from the concert. It was a consensus to strike while the iron was hot.

- The song release is insaneㅠㅠ

- How did TeSTAR keep this a secret until the concert reveal? Was it a challenge to hold out?

- Please, give us more, you can't end it here

While it was initially thought that the concert reveal would just become a legendary performance among fans, the reaction was even broader.

- Wow, was this planned from the start?

└ Even if it was rushed, it's impressive. Either way, the creativity is no joke ㅋ

- These days, idol agencies are really stepping up their quality. Promoting national prestige, love it

Thanks to the groundwork laid by the last album and winning against Youngrin during that period, both songs were well-recognized.

Kim Raebin seemed exhilarated by this.

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

This is Kim Raebin. Although it was just a remix intended for the concert, not a title track, I'm truly grateful for the overwhelming attention it has received. The process of working on this track started with connecting the bass...

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

...He had posted a nine-part series about the composition process on TeSTAR's official social media.

By the time he got to the eighth post, shares and likes had dropped to a fifth of what the first post received — a silent indication that fans couldn't make heads or tails of it.

"Raebin, about the post you just made..."

"Many seemed curious, so I thought I'd share a bit about my arrangement process. What do you think??"

"Uh, yeah, it's great."

He seemed happy so everyone moved on without adding anything. The cringe of the dark history was his to bear.

Anyway, creating a remix during the tour was impressive in its own right.

- ...How on earth do you even create something like this? And when?

- During our free time on tour, I refined the arrangement we used for our challenge as a hobby.

- That was... a hobby?

- Yes!

I briefly recalled the conversation between Bae Sejin and Kim Raebin. And it struck me.

'Getting various opinions... really does help.'

Without the feedback from Cha Eugene about the challenge, this idea might not have emerged.

I acknowledged that while this brainstorming method might lack time efficiency, the end product was quite satisfactory.
