Chapter 151

I scrolled down.

Its already here.

The aggro, which I had guessed since the first weeks filming was aired, began to rampage on the Internet.

They usually start by feeling around the atmosphere first.

Disguising their words as compliments.

Found it.

I clicked on the text.

[What do you think about Park Moondae coming out solo?]

: Hes the first-place winner in idol Inc, so he has a big fandom, and he has a good concept for the main vocal, so I think Park Moondae would do great solo

This kind of ground bait was usually quickly dispelled by fans, but, but now things had turned a little differently.

Because it was a situation where the favorability for Park Moondae reached its peak through variety shows, and because general viewers who were unfamiliar with the idol fan base openly responded favorably.

I think it will be fine

Does he want to go solo later?? Im looking forward to it

I want to listen to a lot of songs, that concept? Using that concept is cool too

Honestly, I dont think he will fail

It looked good, but it was noticeably better than usual, so it was a problem.

It must have looked nice as firewood.

Then, they would post something like this afterward.

[A member of Testar shows off his desire to go solo]

: Its Park Moondae

Absence from schedules for a month right before coming out alone on a variety show + no reactions for various group schedules

(Notice of absence from W Live)

(Summer package video GIF)

Hes working hard when hes filming by himself

(Interview video)

There were a lot of fans who felt weird because it was going on for a whole month, but when the singer came out this time, everything exploded

Theres a theory that hes out of shape because hes been working hard to do solo work

And the fans cant hide it either

(screenshot)

Pretending to be a fan of the group and pretending to be not interested in going solo, please stop doing those things because its obvious (praying hand emoticon)

In that kind of post, the reaction screenshot of the well-knitted Park Moondae solo post would be uploaded together.

And the main issue would be the attitude controversy.

I still feel uncomfortable.

I knew that the content of when I was in a bad condition could become prey someday. This article was written well as if following a standard procedure.

But in fact, they werent aiming the general public opinion here.

It doesnt matter if I go solo or not.

It would be better if they made fun of me because of my bad grades when I really came out as a soloist, but now that I had their attention, I would get a lot of support.

It would be like this.

-??? Cant Park Moondae work solo? Hes talented too, hes a real star

I heard that a lot of fans said that theyre loyal, but to a kid who said he was sick, this heat is too ugly

Park Moondae is doing so well so why cant he? If health issues are the problem, there are many cases where it only lasted a few months

I wouldve rather go solo rather than stay in a group that has such bad akgaes[1]Akgae () is a K-pop fandom term for a fan who likes only one member of a music group and hates the other members.

Testar is tired of every post that comes up. Please dont display it and keep the fight among yourself.

After the fight, the comments become longer and might be classified as popular posts, but public opinion didnt change.

So the target here was a discord within Testar fandom.

It was to stiffen the atmosphere of the fandom that liked the group itself, and to create an atmosphere that made it possible for members malicious anti-fans to keep each other in check and disturb each other.

So another argument was brought up here.

The date on which the second filming of Park Moondae in <The Singer I Made> was aired, it was the same day as Testars first anniversary.

-Its our 1st anniversary, but only posts about Park Moondae come up, its really too much

Im not interested in whether youre the groom or the bride in May. Just dont harm the groups content, Gommeo

Park Moondae, you bully, why is it that every time you did something, the kids were always on edge the whole time? Especially Ryu Chungwoo? You dont want to see him anymore because hes the leader?

Couldnt you have set up the schedule and avoided it? I didnt know you would do this without thinking

If I had known that <The Singer I Made> would have such a good response, I would have done so.

I was aiming to get a moderate amount of fun for the fans.

Who would have known it would become a more popular topic than the first anniversary of the group? I knew both of those events would take place at the same time.

Anyway, after a little more time passed by, the controversy would flow more comprehensively.

It was to encourage skepticism about the groups activities themselves.

Moondae, do you want to go solo? Where did your initial commitment go? Its an artist disease, its a good thing I recognize it, please wake up

Recently, Seon Ahyeon also shot a solo commercial and everyones personal schedules increased, but it was Park Moondae who set the mood

Lets go separately for things like this, make a separate SNS, really Im tired of hearing news from guys I dont care about

If the 1st anniversary was so important, there was no way each member would post a message asking to go separately from the day of the 1st anniversary.

So the ones who posted this were people who are not fans of the group in the first place.

Of course, Testar had shaken off the fact that they were a group from a survival show that received individual votes.

This meant that our identity as a group had been solidified through the albums worldview and various contents.

However, we still had a lot of solo stans, and if they shook things off this way, there would be a lot of people who joined.

That being said, it was a fact known to everyone who was interested.

Therefore, of course, it was a basic attitude of a member of society to prepare countermeasures.

I changed my smartphone screen to a phone call.

Yes, hello. Yes. Thank you. Its nothing, but I have something to ask.

After a brief conversation with the company, I talked to the person sitting next to me.

Raebin.

Yes?

Kim Raebin, who was busy listening to his own song, looked back in surprise.

They said the interview will be released in the evening.

It was as scheduled.

Ah!

At that moment, Kim Raebins face brightened. Um, he still looked like a gangster, though.

It was a very meaningful interview, so I cant wait!

Yeah.

I leaned my back against the backrest.

This kind of thing wasnt enough to make me anxious.

* * *

In the evening when all kinds of aggro were running wild inside the fandom while on the outside, Park Moondaes reputation was still on the rise due to Groom in May.

An interview came up on WeTube.

It was an interview content run by a WeTube channel under MBS that produced <The Singer I Made>.

[I brought the marriage certificate We have gathered the producers of Groom in May! <<Titis Sweet Interview>> EP.47 by MBS2]

In the thumbnail, there were Park Moondae and Kim Raebin.

Kim Raebin?

Tied-selling?

Those who clicked, a little surprised by the sudden appearance of another member, soon learn the whole story.

First of all, there was a heartwarming and obvious talk that Kim Raebin had given advice to Park Moondaes arrangement in each round.

The main point came out next.

[Titi: Wow! So the final song was composed by Raebin-ssi??]

[Raebin: Yes. Of course, I didnt handle the entire production process alone, but it is true that I tried to take the initiative in overseeing the work. So I was able to give it to Moondae hyung as a birthday gift because the copyright stake is the largest]

[It doesnt end there!]

Unable to bear it, they hurriedly fast-forwarded. It was fans way of acknowledging it.

And a large caption came up.

[Raebin-ssi gives more TMI than expected]

[Summary: The song was composed under Raebin-ssis guidance and was a birthday present for Moondae-ssi]

At any rate, the content was perfectly conveyed.

The song that Groom of May sang in the final was composed by a Testar member.

In other words, it was an unreleased self-composed song.

Then why was this song unreleased?

[Moondae: Actually, were making a comeback soon This song is from that album.]

[Titi: Oooh!!]

Right.

The song, Flower at the End of the Month, was one of the songs on Testars next album.

[Moondae: Each members solo songs are included in this album, and theyre really cool, so to introduce them quickly I sang it.]

[Titi: Wow! Then, when the album comes out, we will be able to listen to a slightly different recorded version of the song on the music site?]

[Moondae: Thats correct.]

[Titi is with an experienced promotor]

In other words, he sang the song while also promoting the group album.

[Moondae: Honestly, all the other members vocals are really good. I sang it first because I had the chance Isnt that right?]

[Raebin: Objectively, Moondae hyung has the best singing ability, so if you just compare simple songs, he has the upper hand..]

[Moondae: (hurriedly) Yes. Please look forward to the other songs in the upcoming album.]

[]

The captions burst into laughter at Park Moondaes struggle.

[Titi: Ah~You two are so funny! I laughed out loud!]

[Raebin: Thank you! (brightly)]

[Moondae: Thank you. (Tibetan fox)]

The interview was conducted in a light and humorous way without anyone being rude, and a personal conversation was also properly drawn out.

[Titi: Ah, before you appeared on <My Singer>, you were very sick?]

[Moondae: Yes I felt sorry for the members who had to take care of me because I failed to manage my condition for about a month after leaving the country. Thats why appearing in <My Singer> was meaningful to me. Its been a while since Ive been able to contribute something to the group]

[Raebin: Hyung]

[TT: Whats this? Whats with this moving atmosphere! Are you okay now, Moondae-ssi?]

[Moondae: I cant be healthier than this]

[Strong Moon Puppy]

In fact, Park Moondae didnt even aim for this part to happen.

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

Anyway, casually brushing off the topic, the cast and the interviewer continued to exchange questions and answers and ended the short 12-minute interview video.

[Moondae: I will come out with all of Testar.]

[Raebin: Im already looking forward to it. I think itll be very harmonious.]

[Titi: Yes~~! Then, while waiting for the interview with Keun Sejin-ssi, who is said to be my soul twin, the interview is over! Take your marriage certificate, Groom!]

[Moondae: Nice.]

The interview ended with Park Moondae smiling and holding the marriage registration form.

And at the same time, articles popped up here and there.

It was half prepared, half reacted to the interview.

[Countdown to Testars comeback Park Moondaes song Groom of May is an album preview]

[Testars summer comeback. The concept is horror?]

[The comeback of popular group Testar, The schedule is already out]

Naturally, fans attention quickly turned to the news of the comeback.

Ahhh Testars comeback!!

Heol, Moondaes song is from the new album

Moondae has a plan for everything.

Crazy, it was a song made by Raebin?? No wonder my heart was beating. I recognized the owner

Are all the albums like that? Hold your breath until crazy Testar makes the comeback

As the finishing touch, Testar uploaded photos of their first-anniversary party to their account.

Our Loviewer Thank you for being with spending 365 days with Testar!

Please continue to love us Well continue as Testar Our relationship is forever

(The cake in the picture is sponsored by the leader hyung and the maknaes. It was delicious.)

It was to show off, Its not a part of our schedule, but were close enough to prepare a cake for the 1st anniversary by ourselves and eat it together.

What should I do with our kids hearts

A group full of compassion and bonds. Long live my stars. (edited photo)

Im crying at the thought of Park Moondae promoting the album as soon as he got better. Being a Loviewer is the best

Since the teaser of the interview was posted on SNS quite early, it wasnt reasonable to bite and hang around, saying, He used that as an excuse to stop the controversy.

Hurry up and open preorders, T1!!

The controversy, which was originally a typhoon in a teacup, was quickly subdued by people who were excited by the news of the comeback.

As predicted by Park Moondae, the popularity of The Groom in May didnt dissipate and was instead smoothly connected to Testars comeback.

And Park Moondae, the person involved in all of this, was in the middle of a new schedule.

Long time no see, hubae-nim.
