The idols' daily lives, the W app, and the radio, all had something in common.
Light fans tend to skip watching live broadcasts unless they're already a legend and have become famous through word of mouth.
At best, you wouldn't know if you saw the highlights edited to be funny.
In that sense, what Testa is doing now is....
-What are you all looking at?
-Eww Testa
- Hurry up and listen to SBC Radio
It was an exception.
From a sudden surprise appearance to a comeback announcement.
Even just hearing it made me think that they had already done something since the time they made the skit about a serious ghost story, but at this point, fans' SNS was excited in a good way.
And in the middle of it.
Suddenly, Park Moon-dae started to strongly claim that he was a hardcore fan of Testa.
[I know... I’m such a fan that I even know the songs included in Testa.]
-???
-Park Moon-dae's sudden declaration of love for high school boys
-What on earth is the concept of this skit?
While everyone was confused by the sketch concept that was going nowhere and the lost comeback hints, clear laughter flowed out from the radio.
They are good members.
[Yes, Testa is fine. Moon Dae-ya.]
[I'm KPOP No. 1 Fan!]
[I listen to A Testa's songs too! I respect his stage too!]
-Is this the last ship?
-Bae Se-jin still can't get used to the cafeteria character. How many years has he been the popular cafeteria character?
With the addition of another person with fantastic acting skills, the skit seemed to be getting back on track.
[No, bro. I mean, I watch every single stage.]
[...??]
[And I've watched all of Testa's entertainment videos. I'm a huge fan. They're a source of energy in my life.]
Park Moon-dae started going crazy again. He broke the flow.
'hey!'
Then, Big Sejin also took hold of the steering wheel again.
He put aside the big picture of Park Moon-dae and the countless speculations and curses about the current situation.
And in an instant, he came up with the most typical coping method through improvisation.
That's right,
[Ah! I saw the Testa Awards ceremony stage too! That sword dance~ You saw it too, right?]
[Uh... that’s true.]
[Oh, and that Tibetan band? That member sang it on a variety show... "Flower Moon"? Is that also a track on the album?]
[Oh, that's right.]
[Oh, I know that! Do you know, Song DJ?]
[Oh my, of course I know~ Don't you know everything?]
It's a water ride.
Testa has had an unusually large number of popular hits.
It was because I was always so worried about every single topic that I threw in at least one hot topic. What that meant was...
[And entertainment... Wow, Testa, honestly, everything I did with that PD seemed funny~ Do you guys know that carrot coin?]
[Of course~!]
[Yeah! I remember!]
[Haha. Right, selling hotteok was fun too.]
If you roughly compare famous songs and entertainment shows, you can't be certified as a fan just by talking about it.
Everyone knows!
-A strange situation where an otaku tries to encourage a fight but it doesn't work.
-What is thisㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Oh lol, it's a trip down memory lane
Responses are coming from all over the place.
The host also chimed in and led the conversation in a friendly manner, making sure that the story about other broadcasting stations did not get too much and ended at an appropriate level.
Still, we always take into account the listeners' reactions.
[Oh, '5226' sent this. 'I remember that too~ The whole family laughed while watching the Testa shipwreck.']
[uh.......]
Suddenly, we had a meaningful promotional time looking back on Testa's past activities.
'As planned.'
It was Park Moon-dae's first win in Ryu Geon-woo's body.
The big moon, unable to grasp the situation, was dumbfounded, but barely managed to open its mouth again.
[No, I'm really a fan,]
[Testa won the grand prize this year, right? This year, our goal is to turn the entire nation into fans!]
[An album coming out this year? Awesome!]
[Ahahaha!]
[... ... .]
It sank.
At first, Daedal was trembling and responding to Park Mun-dae's encouragement, but now he was starting to get angry.
'...yes!'
So I came up with the most reliable authentication method in a moment.
He shouted so passionately that he even forgot that he had forgotten to speak informally.
[I went to that concert too!]
No matter how popular a male idol is, it's impossible for them to hold a concert unless they're a fan!
But the opponent was Testa.
[Really? We went there too~]
[... ... .]
yes.
Since I was involved... I went.
Even now, I myself was a performer.
Big Moon, who had completely lost the skit and the facts, staggered and tilted his head with a dazed expression.
He had no choice but to adapt to the reality of failing to be a fan.
It was somehow lonely, yet it couldn't be more funny.
-Why is he like this? LOL
-Park Moon-dae's radio is self-destructingㅋㅋㅋㅋI think he's crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋIt's so funnyㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Big three batting average, what the f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Something about it brought back memories, similar to the days of Park Moon-dae's "Ajussa" when he was popular as a normal, self-paced character.
But this one, well, it was in the same series, but... it felt a little different.
It looks a bit... comfortable, I guess.
It had a more natural and human feel to it. It was a kind of life-like gag that didn't exist even in the days of <Azusa>.
The host held back laughter and professionally allocated the time.
[So, you heard the rumor that Testa's album will be coming out soon this year?]
[Oh, right. But since Moon-dae seems to be the most interested, I think he'll have something to say first.]
And Ryu Cheong-woo willingly gave up the first speaking spot with the good-natured thought, 'I guess Moon-dae really prepared a lot for the radio.'
[...Me?]
[huh.]
Daedal was flustered, but soon came to his senses when he saw a pop-up message from Park Moon-dae saying, "It's okay."
Only half.
[I'm really, really looking forward to the next album. Oh, I don't mean to put pressure on you, I'm just saying that I'm really rooting for Testa's elaborate time SF worldview and unique, connected, large-scale performances... ]
[What are you saying?]
[...I really want to tell you guys through this radio!]
It seemed really earnest and sincere.
Because it was true. Because what was inside was a big moon.
-What the...?
-This is the first time I've seen a male idol who is so obsessed with a group.
-Padul, Gommega is taking full responsibility for the renewal of the contract with the group.
-Park Gommeo Group Self, why are you so bloated? Are you serious? Where did your shady business go?
At this point, even underwater reactions like this were coming out.
[... Yes, thank you.]
[Wait a minute, why is Ah-hyun saying thank you...?]
[...! We... told you about the rumors of Testa’s comeback...?]
[That's right~ We were talking about that!]
And ultimately, the story about the comeback could have been told in a much more humorous and 'less promotional' way.
[Excuse me, is this connected to the Magical Boy Trilogy and will Testa make a comeback as a magic-using phantom thief?]
[...! I've never thought about it before, but I think it's a really good idea. After returning to the dorms, no, back to the dorms, we'll have a meeting about the next album... no, the next club activity...?]
[Kim Rae-bin is broken!]
Because of this atmosphere, the members were able to talk about the comeback without any burden, mixing truth and lies, and talking excitedly like high school students.
So, the teaser for Testa's comeback concept... ended with a burst of laughter, leaving behind countless possibilities and plausible fantasies.
-Honestly, wasn't the cyborg a bit convincing?
-First of all, I understand that you are definitely not a magic-using phantom thief.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
And at the same time.
“Excellent.”
In Ryu Geon-woo's body, Park Moon-dae was nodding with satisfaction while monitoring all of his reactions.
I thought it was time for a refresh, but it turned out to be a good thing.
'Park Moon-dae's image has become a bit... heavy recently.'
There are also recent issues with stage accidents, and the accumulated 'professional idols who are too good at reading public opinion and dealing with it' is also a negative.
Because balance was everything.
'I guess this will lighten things up a bit.'
So, thinking that this was not a mental victory but a real gain, he shook his head.
'Now I just need to figure out how to get back.'
Of course, I didn't forget to take care of the things I had to do before that.
“Are you okay?”
[yes!]
“You’ve worked hard.”
Certainly, Big Moon's response was cheerful, perhaps because he enjoyed the situation quite a bit in the latter half. Furthermore, the atmosphere of the Parkmundae he was sharing was pleasant.
Testa ended his greeting with a smile and a chuckle from the host. He then seemed to leave the booth without much fuss, lightly patting the large moon as he passed by, ad-libbing slightly.
'I'll have to explain it to those guys so they don't get shocked.'
Compared to a live radio broadcast, this next step was better because there was at least time to plan.
He nodded.
“Don’t worry, I’ll give you a good time to explain to the members....”
[I... that's what I'm talking about.]
why.
[I think Ahyeon already knows...]
“...??”
what?
At that moment, through the shared view of the large moon, he met Seon Ah-hyeon's gaze, staring blankly in his direction.
There was no expression.
“.......”
[... ... .]
“I’ll go right away.”
[yes.]
Ryu Geon-woo immediately called a taxi.
And 30 minutes later, Testa's quarters are filled with screams and monologues.
* * *
"also??"
"Okay, seriously, we should look into something like a secret agency. This feels like some Netflix Season 4 drama."
-Oh my, the member's body has changed!
As soon as they realized what was happening, they went through five stages of shock, anger, confusion, compromise, and resignation and started screaming.
I nodded expressionlessly.
“There is also good news.”
“What is it?”
"First of all, it's ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) certain that no one will die. At worst, the only thing that happens is a body swap."
“Hey! Then you’re retired!”
“So, only in the worst case scenario.”
Last time, I died in a building collapse, so this is good news.
I raised both hands to Bae Se-jin, who seemed to be about to have a blood clot on his neck.
“And we’ve already overcome the most critical situation.”
"what!"
“It’s live radio.”
“.......”
I'm serious.
'I thought it was going to be a disaster.'
And then everyone fell silent for a moment, as if recalling what had happened on the radio just before.
“Then, surely Sejin and you are like that....”
"yes."
Naturally, everyone's gaze turned to Sejin.
I paid my taxes voluntarily.
"sorry."
“Oh, that’s right.”
Big Sejin seemed quite taken aback. But, like a man who was good at reading the mood, he didn't seem to have any intention of grabbing me by the collar and demanding compensation for my emotional distress.
'From carrots first.'
I gave it a thumbs up right away.
“It was great.”
“.......”
“I guess you tried it because you trusted your quick wit.”
“You speak well, but you speak....”
But I don't think he'll deny that he was today's MVP. We all know that.
'Honestly, the result was that he also benefited.'
And... I turned my head to the second super save.
“.......”
“......Did you hear that back then?”
“Yeah.”
Fortunately, Seon Ah-hyeon just had a worried look on her face.
"Huh, it's okay. You didn't have to tell me. I'm not really good at variety shows, you know..."
“No, thanks to your help, I got over it.”
"thank you...."
The big moon approached awkwardly and bowed its head.
However, Seon Ah-hyeon looked back and forth between me and the big moon with an expression that seemed happy but unsure of what to do.
And it creaks and says hello.
“Oh, no....”
Come to think of it, all the members were looking at the big moon with a mysterious expression.
So, I'm talking about the big moon-shaped pavilion. The atmosphere seems a bit different than usual.
Cha Yu-jin was a good student.
'That looks weird on your face, hyung.'
'Be quiet.'
It was originally his.
Bae Se-jin also muttered with a mysterious expression. But it was a different topic.
“...It would have been okay if Radio had told me. No, that doesn’t mean I would have done better.”
“I guess so. Because you’re a good actor.”
In fact, not only Bae Se-jin but also Ryu Cheong-woo are good candidates. They have good judgment, are calm, and are leaders.
“But the radio is on right now, so if I share more and Ravin happens to hear it....”
“Hmm....”
“Big, right.”
-1. I'm not good at lying.
-2. Unable to control overflowing curiosity and questions in incomprehensible situations.
When the name of the member who symbolized that human image was mentioned, all the members nodded.
And Kim Rae-bin was greatly shocked.
“Am I the kind of person who cannot be trusted?”
“Um, no. Only when I lie on a live talk show.”
"It's okay, Ravin. It just means you have a good personality."
“...??”
Anyway, after the shock wore off a bit, the brainstorming began.
“Well, shouldn’t the two of you try something?”
"What did Eugene say earlier? Ah! Netflix. In dramas like that, they usually do something like that when they come back to their bodies."
“......A kiss? Murder?”
“Brother, both of them are so terrible.”
“No! I’m not telling you to do it, I just said what came to mind....”
I found out what drama genre Bae Se-jin watches. It was TMI.
'Anyway, the initial recommendation is worth using.'
First, I grabbed Park Moon-dae's arm... that is, the big moon's arm.
“Then, let’s go talk quickly and sort out the situation.”
“Okay. If there’s any problem, please share it immediately.”
I immediately went to my room under Ryu Cheong-woo's confirmation.
Bam.
“You’ve worked hard.”
"no...."
And as soon as I sat down, I started checking the status window first.
[outbreak!]
Status Abnormality Mission Failed: Restored to original state
-Everything is back to normal as if it never happened
: 21:26:43 until the end
"hmm......."
I'm starting to think a lot.
‘As if nothing had happened...’
I looked at 'Park Moon-dae'.
Yeah. I thought about it earlier, but actually, that body originally belonged to that big moon guy.
“As you know, this situation where I’m an idol and you’re a civil servant is something that happened because I switched places with you.”
“Well, that’s true, isn’t it?”
This guy had no intention of becoming an idol, and I failed the civil service exam. In short, this means we're both living our own lives.
But, 'return to original state?'
I muttered expressionlessly.
“What are the odds that after 24 hours, both of them will be ‘reverted’ to their previous lives?”
“T-That much?!”
You're freaking out.
The big moon pointed at the hologram.
"Look, look! It's a mission failure! It's not a status ailment! The penalty doesn't seem that severe, does it?!"
"hmm."
I rubbed my chin as I watched the guy who was clenching his fists and saying, 'Let's not make such extreme assumptions.'
“That, and... I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but the words seem a bit different from what I said to you before.”
hmm?
‘Come to think of it...’
I remembered the phrase that came to me during the last building collapse.
: Until the final disaster 00:29:59
“Back then, it was called ‘disaster.’ Now, it’s called ‘end.’”
"Yes. And the circumstances were a bit unusual back then. I was just trying to avoid the failure penalty...."
yes.
At that time, I was somehow narrowly avoiding the sudden death penalty, which was a status abnormality failure penalty.
Then it turned into a mission failure... Hmm.
“So the mission failure effect has already been activated?”
The fact that my body and that guy's body were switched is itself a 'mission failure effect'.
"Yes. I think so. So, until that failure effect wears off, um... there's 21 hours left."
indeed.
Well, if I just had to hold out for a day, it was worth it. That's a persuasive and advantageous interpretation.
But still, the question remains:
“Then what mission did you fail?”
"that...."
The face of the big moon became blurred.
“I don’t know either. I don’t have a status screen....”
“.......”
I came up with a few hypotheses, but I stopped talking about them right away.
Confusing priorities is a surefire way to mess things up. Get the urgent stuff done first.
"Okay. Anyway, since this is the most convincing hypothesis, let's act on it for a day."
I opened a pop-up.
[After 24 hours, your body will be completely transformed again.]
"yes!"
If I think about my experience during the building, of course, it would be when I got through the day well.
I thought about it carefully and then nodded.
"first of all."
“...?”
“Are you in a good mood for your annual leave today?”
“That... um.”
I guess it doesn't work.
“Sick leave?”
“That would be possible, but I need to submit the materials.”
I laughed.
“It doesn’t matter. If it’s okay to use up one vacation day.”
“...?? That’s okay, but.......”
Then that's fine.
“Is this person your immediate team leader?”
I checked one of the guy's contacts on my smartphone.
And the next morning.
"Excuse me, Team Leader. I'm trying to avoid using sick leave as much as possible. There's also the issue of performance evaluations... Of course. I think it's right to manage attendance as you suggested, even if it means using annual leave."
The big moon is gaping. Park Moon-dae has a strong jaw, so there shouldn't be any problems.
“I’m truly sorry. I hope I’ve been a nuisance... No, it’s the restaurant’s fault, but still, food poisoning this morning.”
“.......”
"Yes! Then I'll see you when I get to work! Thank you very much. Yes, I'll say hello separately."
Beep.
I hung up the phone.
And then he turned his head.
“Are you okay?”
"......yes."
“Don’t be surprised, I’ll send him a drink this afternoon.”
“Okay, okay... Thank you.”
"okay."
Even if you are a civil servant, if you frequently use sick leave because you are receiving a salary, it is natural that you will be disadvantaged in your performance evaluation.
So, if we turn that around and make them think that they are using annual leave instead of sick leave because they are worried about their performance evaluation, wouldn't that be the end of it?
'Well, since you said you work at the district office, I guess you won't be going crazy like other 7th graders.'
Anyway, I guess this guy's work has been taken care of too.
“As you know, Testa is coming back soon, so we have a lot of work to do.”
“Yes, yes.”
“So... it looks like there’s nothing special about the schedule today, so can you accompany Park Moon-dae to Testa?”
“...??”
“Don’t worry. There’s no filming schedule.”
There's nothing more nerve-wracking than listening to the radio.
“And I will follow you.”
“Huh?! Really?”
"uh."
“How?”
It's not for nothing that Ryu Geon-woo took a vacation.
“As a daily road manager.”
“Ugh.”
I got up from my seat. I had to deal with it right away to stay on schedule.
