After Ian’s additional filming was aired, ‘Black Out’ occupied the real-time search term. With the identity of the Killer that has been hidden under the veil and the realistic screaming performance of the Delivery Boy, it reclaimed first place in viewership rating in the same period.
-Wasn’t blackout super dope?
-So lit
-But who’s the delivery boy
-It said he’s going to debut as an idol?
Of course, the portal site’s reaction also exploded. This time the agency did not particularly do any marketing.
-Promoting a group that will debut soon (data alert)
(tl;dr) (NOruiningthispromotionpost)
They’re the group of black out delivery boy yup
-Second half of the year rookie boy band debut teaser
This is because people who have been watching with interest for a long time voluntarily posted promotion posts.
As word-of-mouth spreads, some Homma create home page accounts. It was to get a quick lead and attract followers.
-Shall we go film them?
-Showcase tickets still on sale go go
Showcase tickets were not free. Tickets, which had been priced at 10,000 won to prevent no-show1When a reservation is booked but no one comes up on the scheduled day or is canceled abruptly. , quickly sold out.
“It was sold out?”
“Woah...”
And this news also spread to the trainees. Their eyes, which had sunken because they couldn’t sleep properly, were immediately filled with vitality.
“Crazy. Won’t we become superstars if it’s like this?!”
Everyone laughed at Jo Tae Woong’s fuss. Superstars just because the showcase is sold out once. He already drank too much kimchi soup.2 Referring to the idiom equal to “don’t count your chickens before they are hatched”.
But Ian also felt good. There was no mention of them anywhere, let alone the debut showcase in his previous life.
‘How was it in the past?’
[Well, maybe 300 people came?]
The 300 people in the past became 1,000 people. With the present gradually changing from the past, there is hope.
[I-One was in Gocheok. 20,000 people. A thousand is still far away.]
‘You. Don’t keep talking about them.’
As can be seen, Jin was also good at being a party-pooper.
“Guys, you know it starts now, right? Watch your words and actions. Also, say greetings diligently. You know, right?”
“Yes!”
Manager Park Dong Soo made a new request. The trainees couldn’t control their gradually rising cheekbones and eventually screamed.
“Don’t regret if your face is stuffy like a steamed bun in the article pictures, so go home early and sleep.”Neew updates at
The manager sighed on how to control those fussy brats and left the practice room.
12th December 2017. They are finally making their debut.
***
Hannam-dong B Square3 Blue Square. A performance venue by Interpark. Not just music concerts but musicals (usually by foreign performers) are also held here. . Trainees in training suits went up on the stage. It was a performance hall with up to three floors, so the ceiling looked spacious and open.
“Owh, it’s cold.”
“Isn’t it bigger than expected?”
“We are performing here?”
Park Jin Hyuk looked around. The seats are not all full until the third floor. Only the first floor was scheduled to be filled. The second floor was the seats for family and acquaintances.
‘Isn’t the stage and audience seat quite close?’
[If you make a mistake, it’ll be obvious.]
Based on the water bottle placed in the center of the stage, the members took their positions. The debut showcase was scheduled to feature a total of three songs.
The first is a light ballad song, so they sit down and start. The second was a song in which Lee Joo Hyuk and Park Jin Hyuk participated. And the last one was the title song.
When the staff brought a mobile clothes rail, all the members gathered. Each of them took out clothes with their name tags and looked at them for a long time. The stylist swept her nose at the appearance.
The specially made stage costumes gave the impression of uniforms. The details of the attached metal decorations were different for each member, so it seemed they have spent quite the money. It was heard that the stylist has 8 years of experience in cosplay costume alone.
“Guys! Before getting dressed, please attach the in-ear and mic first!”
The stylists and staff hurriedly told the members to take off their clothes on the spot. Park Dong Soo brought a large box and held it in front of them.
“Your in-ear monitors came out.”
“Wow!”
“When CEO Lee comes, say thank you.”
When the debut teaser photo was taken, a stranger came to measure their ear sizes. It was because of the custom in-ears, which was a debut gift from the CEO of the agency.
[Isn’t it a named maker? Seeing each have separate designs, it’ll be at least 3 million.]
‘Crazy...’
Each of their initials was engraved on the in-ears. It wasn’t just engraved, but embedded with cubic8Cubic Zirconia. A type of synthetic diamond. . It will sparkle beautifully when it receives the stage light.
“As expected of Light King God CEO Lee.”
“Wow... Look at how shiny this is.”
The members lifted the in-ear case with delight.

The members put on costumes with the help of the stylists and chatted loudly.
[It’s good that the kids aren’t nervous.]
‘They’re probably really nervous, though?’
[Oh yeah?]
After more than a year together, he was able to roughly grasp what they’re feeling. Although they used to talk a lot, the fact that they talk and laugh more than usual is proof that they are quite nervous.
After putting on stage costumes, make-up, and even setting the hairstyles, the tired trainees suddenly became idols.
“Aren’t you guys pretty cool?”
“Hyung is cool too, though?”
When Lee Joo Hyuk spoke, the other members laughed.
Ian didn’t know because he didn’t think about it separately, but now that he thinks about it, the average appearance of the members is quite high.
The time was already past 3:30. There is a press showcase at 4 pm. The article was scheduled to be released immediately and the video was scheduled to be released after the release of the song at 6 pm.
These days, media companies are also taking and uploading videos one by one because they pay attention to video streaming sites.
“Guys, be careful with tongue slip. Whatever the question is, write it down on a paper first.”
Seo Su Ryeon, director of BHL Entertainment, sincerely requested. Dealing with reporters was one of the areas of education they received before debut. They had to be careful in answering because even trivial words were exaggerated to be published as an article. And it can be a plus factor if they take notes then answer even questions with obvious answers.
The press showcase will only show two songs excluding the ballad song due to time. This is because photos with choreography come out more diversely than static music.
“We’ll bring your family after the press showcase, so do your best.”
[Are your parents coming too?]
‘They’re busy and won’t be able to come, probably? How is it outside?’
[There are a lot of reporters, huh? There are more than before.]
It’s a stage where only reporters are invited, but there are more people than in previous life? Doesn’t it sound like he has been there before? Ian glanced at Jin sternly.
‘There are more people than before?’
[Huh?]
‘It seems you must have been here in your past life? A press showcase for that?’
[Uh... I’ve been there. Don’t you know that the press passes are also traded in the back? Hommas buy press passes and come in advance]
Ian didn’t miss the momentary bewildered voice. In Ian’s eyes, Jin’s camera lens turned in a different direction. However, he couldn’t afford to think deeply. It’s time to go on stage.
Ian jumped lightly and relaxed his body. Let’s just do as much like the rehearsal. The members gathered one by one and formed a circle. When Lee Joo Hyuk reached out one hand silently, everyone put out their hands and covered it.
“Congratulations on your debut, guys. We’ll do well. We are who we are!”
“AWY!”
Everyone shouted the group name while raising their hands overhead together.
The announcer in charge of hosting introduced them, and stage greetings began.
