Chapter 252 Touch High! (4)

A rookie comes out to promote their new song but doesn't perform it?

Sanchez, along with everyone else, was taken aback by the absurd concept. Even the production staff, looking dumbfounded, searched for the manager on the Kairos side, but Ji Suho had already resigned himself to the situation, as if he had given up.

It was to be expected.

'Just how much did Ji Suho have to get squeezed to convince him of this?'

Even if he was squeezed, all I really had to say was, "Just trust me on this," a sales pitch of sorts. As long as my title as "Zhuge Liang of the Maze" was still valid, this was quite effective.

'If we just play our song and dance a bit, people will probably find it boring and skip through it anyway.'

The biggest change brought about by OTT platforms was that people could now choose to watch only the parts they were interested in.

Instead of playing 30 seconds of our song and getting skipped over, I planned to turn the opening itself into content.

Sanchez, with a bewildered expression, asked us again.

"No, Doha, what do you mean? You can't play your song?"

"Since, as of the shooting date, our new song's release article and teaser haven't been announced yet, we've concluded that we can't perform the new song here."

Doha, who had already been convinced by my logic, was now raising his guard without me having to do anything.

However, sometimes, issues with schedules prevent the release of new songs, so this wasn't a rare occurrence even for us. As a seasoned broadcaster, Sanchez quickly shifted the topic.

"Alright, alright. Then, if the new song isn't possible, how about showing us one of your previous debut songs?"

"Yeah, that works. Let's see the debut song."

"Hajin, then, is the debut song okay?"

At the question I had been waiting for, I put on the most merchant-like expression I could and haughtily responded.

"You want to see our debut song?"

"Uh, well..."

"Do you really want to see it?"

"Y-yes..."

Even though they were reluctant, the variety show hosts nodded as if they were entranced. I shook my head firmly.

"I won't show you."

"Why not?"

"We want our seniors to keep wondering about us."

"Huh?"

"We hope you'll be so curious that you'll feel like you're going crazy. After the shoot ends and you go home, we want you to search for our performance."

"This guy's not just your average crazy..."

"Yeah, all three of them look a bit scary."

I thought to myself as I shrugged my shoulders with the same shameless attitude that had once flustered Seo Taeil.

'If I go on a public broadcast and don't perform the new song even once, Seo Taehyun will probably kill me later, right?'

Our dear Taehyun needs to focus on his entrance exams, so I must keep this shoot's content a secret until it airs....

The first mission theme was <Sports Festival 體典>.

Since it had been a while since a bunch of young, strong guys had been gathered together, the plan seemed to be to have them really put their bodies to work.
