Debut Or Die

Chapter 127

The status abnormality related to the Rookie of the Year Award was resolved faster than expected.

'I thought it wouldn't happen until February.'

The fact that it was resolved as soon as I received the award at the last large awards ceremony... It meant the current public opinion was overwhelming.

It must have been the effect of breaking through the mess of the Rookie Award controversy. I didn't know that it would reach the timing when the status abnormality was lifted.

'Well, it's good to be able to check quickly, but.'

I didn't intend to click 'Check the truth' for a while anyway, since there was no point in getting a new status abnormality early just because it was resolved quickly.

"Thank you!"

While I was thinking about it, Keun Sejin finished his speech and moved out of his seat, giving up the seat in front of the stand mic.

That meant it was my turn.

I walked out slowly and stood in front of the microphone.

The flashing waves in front of me disturbed my vision.

It was Testar's lightstick with luminous power that could be easily seen from a distance.

'...There are overwhelmingly more of them here than at other awards ceremonies.'

Perhaps it was because VTIC was absent. I confirmed the view and brought my mouth to the microphone.

"First of all, I'd like to start by saying thank you."

I didn't mind saying my award speech, but I'd never felt the need to step out and did it.

'I am only doing this because we are taking turns.'

But now looking at it... It was a good way to express my gratitude.

"...Testar is not a group that has been prepared as a team for a long time. We, who have not been verified as a team, have put a lot of thought and effort into debuting as a group after a short preparation period."

Of course, I didn't just agonize over it, I also cursed at the company, but it was the truth without lies, anyway.

And so were the next words.

"And our driving force is...that there are people waiting for us."

...It wasn't just preparations for our debut.

The same was true for the controversy over the Rookie of the Year Award. Because I knew there were people who would respond right away when the situation turned around... I could choose such a primitive way.

Isn't it strange and amazing that there are people who wait for you and want to like you as long you come up with a good result?

"Thank you for trusting and waiting, and for looking forward to it."

Thank you for not giving up your expectations even in the midst of tiring public opinion and annoying situations.

"We will continue to do our best without forgetting our current feelings so that we can be a group that can give you excitement rather than worries when you think of tomorrow's Testar. Thank you."

I bowed my head. And for a while, I continued to express our gratitude.

Brilliant cheers poured over my head.

The sound, as powerful as the luminous power of the lightstick, somehow felt hot.

And I felt hands tapping on my back.
