LeTi x Stars Orbit entertainment variety show arc pt 1
We will split up all group members and divide them into 4 teams!
T-Holic said, who made an unconventional declaration.
“Originally, we almost came up with an ambiguous number of five teams…”
“It just so happened that one of our members was missing, right?
“Yes.”
“I heard that a traitor who went to film a movie shouldn’t have a life-size stand put up.”
After taking a moment to appreciate the situation that seems to be floating around the internet, such as 'What happens if a T-Holic member fails to attend a variety show alone.txt'.
"Now then, let's all decide on a team!"
Now is the time to really split the existing teams apart....
"It doesn't work if a team with only one group has many members, right? We took everything into consideration and came up with a very fair method... It's here!"
The production crew went around to each group and handed out posters.
"It's a psychological test!"
"Yes?"
"People choosing the same answer? "It's about team building!"
"Is this a clue that we are a good fit for each other?"
It’s a classic
"Ah! For groups where the number of people is not a multiple of 4, the production team has pre-determined the number of people who can choose for each option. Guys! Just look in parentheses!"
What the hell.
I sighed and read the question on the poster.
Still, I am meticulous in my own way........
[Question! As I was walking down the trail, I saw a sign. But I can't read it because it's in a foreign language. Which one should I follow?]
-1. Blue (2 people)
-2. Green (2 people)
-3. Yellow (1 person)
-4. Red (2 people)
“…….”
Huh… Is this a clue?
“It’s like choosing a favorite color…”
“Uh-huh! It all has a deeper meaning, guys!
Those bastards have sharp ears.
“Oh my! Of course, hyung!”
“Let us guess its deep meaning!”
“That’s right~!”
I’m gritting my teeth.
But everyone here who is full of entertainment, put their heads togather on the poster and started thinking seriously.
Which color sign should I follow?
"[RED!!] I'm red. That hair is a lot of red too! It's a good sign."
"Oh~ Okay."
Bae Sejin said in a low voice.
"But red... Isn't this a danger and caution sign?"
"...Let's just do what we want."
That's how Cha Eugene got the first flag, choosing red.
And surprisingly... Seon Ahyeon chose the remaining red color.
“……??"
"Well, we... It reminded me of the chorus of the intro song, <Sunset>!"
(t/n: Ahyeon’s solo song that’s the intro song for ‘Bad Time’ album.)
"Aha."
-Red is yours… Your color, your name.
With the chorus automatically playing in their heads, everyone nodded as he spoke with blushing cheeks.
‘It’s an affection for solo songs.’
“Oh, that’s right. Actually, that’s why I chose it too.”
“That’s a lie!”
“Eugene, there’s a saying in Korea that says if you lie, horns will grow on your butt.”
“That’s so cool. Why do wonderful things happen when you lie?”
“……”
Everyone was speechless. I opened my mouth again.
“Let’s just do what we want.”
“Huh.”
And while the members were each choosing the color of the sign one by one, giving various reasons after careful consideration, a question came back to me as well.
"Where do you want to go to MoondaeMoondae?”
"I don't mind just taking what's left...."
"Hey! Where can you find something like that?"
"Okay. You have to choose what you want, Moondae."
I rubbed the back of my neck and finally caught one due to the enthusiastic support of the entertainment show.
"Then... I’ll pick yellow."
"Because of Welsh corgi?"
"Because you’re a puppy?"
Are you serious?
"It's the color of my first dyed hair."
“Aha~”
"Well, it was good hanging out with you Moondae...!"
ΟΚ.
I chose yellow well among the applause.
Well, actually.
The fact that there was only one person in yellow had some influence.
'If you're going to go alone, it's either me or Big Sejin.'
Shouldn't those who can create light-heartiness for broadcasting while keeping a reasonable line between unfamiliar and unfamiliar people go?
But for some reason, Big Sejin seemed to want to choose blue.
"Uhm. So, should I do blue? "I like it because it somehow feels like I'm going to the beach~"
Just as I thought.
Anyway, when each person picks a color and raises their hand, the production team gives them a cloth.
Then, tie it roughly around your head, waist, or chest according to your preference, and move towards the colorful flags fluttering.......
There are already two people standing in front of the yellow flag I chose.
"Hey! Moondae-ssi!"
"Oh~"
I blinked.
The VTIC guy who came running... It was Jin Chaeyul, smiling brightly.
“Oh~”
"Moondae-ssi also likes yellow!”
"Yes... Yes."
And the guy next to me is Ha Jintae, a T-Holic member with a yellow bandana wrapped around his head.
“It’s like sunshine, the symbol of a leader.”
“……”
“…In fact, Martin took red first because it was a symbol of passion.”
OK.
And the person who came over after me…
“Hey!! Our team looks really strong!”
Miry-nay’s Jeong Yulgi.
“Oh my god! Moondae hyung! Oh, this is so cool!”
And Gold 2… Spacer’s Kwon Heeseung.
“……”
“Shall we make a slogan? Wow, I’m so excited!”
“Good! Our seniors and juniors, is there anything you want to do?”
"Wow me! I hope it's like a sunflower! It's pretty, big, and delicious!"
"Sunflower? Wow, that's such a good idea, Jeong Yulgi!"
"Thank you, Chaeyul sunbaenim!... Wow! Marshmallow’s Sua sunbaenim has arrived!"
(t/n: using marshmallow as soft and sweet.)
"Wow!"
"Hello!"
This is getting embarrassing.
'What the hell just happened?'
I think I heard 'Wow' about 10 times.
What does this atmosphere mean, as if it were a gathering of kindergarten teachers in recreation?
I felt dumbfounded as I saw all the people smiling brightly.
What's even scarier is that these smiles are not just from capitalism but are genuine.
“What’s everyone’s MBTI? I’m an ENFP!”
“Hey, me too!”
“It’s me!”
Yellow team. Perfect for Big Sejin… Should I have given it to you instead?
“Wait a sec.”
Ha Jintae suddenly looked around and put his hand on his chin with a serious face.
"I can't believe we get along so well, our team... Isn't first place destiny?"
“..?"
"It's a team made up of the top survivalists!"
"Huh!"
Miry-nay’s Jeong Yul-gi and Gold 2 Kwon Heeseung screamed and turned, looking at themselves and me. Their eyes are bright.
Are you asking me to respond?
‘What is this…’
I mentally slapped my head that was about to feel agitated for a moment and came to my senses.
"It was a long time ago, and there are many people who have never appeared on a survival show."
"No way."
Ha Jintae whispers.
"Me and Chaeyul... He's the member with the best voice on the team."
"Sua-ah, you too, right?"
"Oh, that... It seems like it!"
The Marshmallow member, who is famous for being a fearful and crybaby member of the team, answered brightly.
-lol
-Jintae, come to your senses.
-The yellow team, which consists of 1st place survivalist and the group who’s in charge of teasing, feels proud.
“……”
The expected reaction comes to mind in surround. What do you think?
Meanwhile, Jin Chaeyul nods his head brightly.
"That's right! I also get to say whatever I want to say in our group!"
"Me too!"
Come to your senses. That is brainwashing.
***
After many twists and turns, team recruitment was completed.
"Everyone, do you like all your teammates?"
"Yes!"
A clear and powerful voice filled the lawn.
If you're the type of person who says you don't like them, you wouldn’t be an idol.
What, I’m not bad either. Anyway… I still saw my teammates with smiles on their faces.
Still... The composition of the team is unexpected, but it seems difficult to take control... Let's just accept it.
'Let's just have fun. Just fun.'
It's okay that they are happy among themselves. My portion of screen time... Let's do something about it.
When I look around, I see other completed teams.
First of all, the faces visible under the green flag.
"When I thought about the symbolic meaning of a sign, I intuitively decided that green would be the safest to convey!"
"...! Me too!"
"Haha, I guess everyone had similar thoughts."
"Our team is the brain. It's so good, guys."
Kim Raebin, Miry-nay’s Park Minha, and even Ryu Chungwoo.
That team's T-Holic Wonseok was looking at his teammates with a bright expression on his face as if he had just drunk.
When VTIC Shinnoh joined us for the last time, the green team welcomed him with utmost amicability and cheered him on.
It's literally a group project of hope.
'They're all the calm type.'
Roughly... For some reason, it was a combination of trying to make a rational decision and then running off into a strange place and making people laugh. That's fun.
-Ryu Chungwoo's group assignment without stomachache makes me like feel like Idolinc’s a past life.
(t/n: in the actual Debut or Die novel, someone commented this during early idolinc arc.)
I nodded in anticipation and looked at the other side. What's on this side is the red flag, the red team.
Each person is already making an introduction gesture....
"I'm Martin!"
"I'm Eugene!"
"My name is Seon Ahyeon. Please take care of me...!"
Pokémon’s Team Rocket?
"Hey, feel free to introduce your juniors!"
"it's okay. It's okay, I... I'm just happy just to be on a variety show........"
"Even if I just stand up the flag, it's a miracle. Please pamper yourself to your heart's content."
'... ??'
People with polar opposite tendencies have all gathered together.
Both Miry-nay and Spacer said that the composition members chose this place by chance, and they both seem to have unique personalities.
'Are they just gathering their own aggro makers?'
And here comes the final boss........
"Each team member here has a unique color. Well, that's a good thing. We can create synergy by acknowledging each other's differences."
"Oooh~"
"Really, I think so...!"
"Yes. In the short term, I think we are an efficient union. Hmm, to put it in perspective, the team’s name comes from the red spectrum......."
……VTIC’s Judan.
I looked at the somewhat triumphant guy and inwardly shook my head.
'I'm excited that there is no enforcement team.'
I guess I'll have to catch Eugene and crack down on him.
…I told him not to say something like ‘Nerd’ in his mouth.
And last.
If you pull your head out and turn... I see a blue flag.
The blue team gathered early and even finished creating the team’s name.
"Oh~ Cheongnyeo sunbaenim! I am so reassured~ Please take care of me."
"Haha, that's too much praise, Sejin-ssi. I really don't appear in many entertainment shows... I will try my best not to cause any inconvenience."
"It's an honor, seniors. "I am Miry-nay’s Seong Harin, I will work hard!"
"This is it. Everyone is so reassuring. That’s great!"
VTIC Cheongryeo, TeSTAR Lee Sejin, and Miry-nay Seong Harin.
All of them were burning with ambition and were sitting with smiles on their faces.
There is no separate tiger den.
"......I look forward to working with you all."
And Bae Sejin was caught in the gap, looking like he wanted to run away.
It's his face that looks like it's about to pass out at any moment.
'Maybe I should have given him yellow.'
Can't help it. Stay strong, Bae Sejin.
And looking at it this way, I could already see the future of how this program would work.
'These guys are the ones who come up with a strategy to steal the game before they win.'
A team full of guys who prioritize practicality over winning. Is there a more threatening combination in entertainment?
But let's not be mistaken.
'It's an individual exhibition.'
Will the yellow team win or the blue team? That doesn't matter.
The important thing is that the TeSTAR on each team must get the most attraction.
When our eyes met, I returned the same grin to Cheongryeo, who grinned.
'Huh. Even if I act recklessly. I will win.'
Watch carefully.
"Okay then, our good juniors..."
"Huh?"
At that moment, T-holic’s Yoon of the blue team was trying to start a conversation when he was tackled by Ha Jintae.
"Maknae, what is your habit of speaking to your senior?"
(t/n: maknae = youngest member)
“…?!"
Ha Jintae swung his arm.
"Sunbaenim, your eyes are wide open. How can you let them call them you junior!"
"What are you talking about?"
"That person!"
Ha Jintae's hands politely pointed to a member of the blue team.
It was..... Bae Sejin!
"He debuted two years earlier than you! A genius child actor!"
“Huh?”
At that moment, even the morning sunlight sparkled as if a halo was visible behind Bae Sejin.
"......Hey, it's okay."
But T-Holic's youngest bowed his head!
"I'm sorry, sunbaenim!"
"...!? No, it's really okay......."
"Ah, to the heavenly sunbaenim! Do you know what mistake I made?"
"Ugh, I feel it so deeply!"
"Are you just saying it?"
"Oh no! From now on, Bae Sejin sunbaenim is the team leader! How dare a junior try to become a team leader!"
"... ??"
"Okay, I've decided! "Our team’s name is not Blue Bird, it's Team Blue Bae!"
Bae Sejin’s facial expression speaks.
‘Me?’
However, because of the discussion.
In the end, he was raised in front of the flag like a King.
Fluttering.
“Team Blue Bae, let’s go!”
With the blue flag in the background, Bae Sejin covered his face with one hand.
"Wow, the only team leader who isn't a member of T-Holic!"
'Excellent.'
I internally applauded the true screen time maker.
"So, have you all decided on a team name?"
"Yes!!"
"Okay, then...... MT begins!"
And finally, full-scale filming began with cheers.
…Of course, from now on, it's going to be a disaster .

RTD arc part 4
Prev
Homma forgot to breathe and looked at the game screen.
The screen is still a dark, secret facility in the game.
But there is no one outside the background.
There are no other characters, BGM, sound effects, filters, or dice.
All that is there is a close-up of Seon Ahyeon’s smiling face.
A guard wearing a navy-blue uniform and an officer's uniform cap makes eye contact with the other side of the screen.
As if he was looking at himself.
Homma swallowed.
The mouth on the screen moved.
-You're not leaving, are you?
That moment,
A choice appeared. However........
[Stay.]
[Stay.]
"...?!"
Hey, what is this? Why... is it the same?
'An error...?'
Like a normal person, she reflexively moved her hand to turn the game on and off.
So I clicked the settings icon in the right corner....
The settings button disappeared.
"...?!"
It's an empty background that doesn't respond when you click on it.
"Huh?"
-I don't want to wait again.
The blonde guard is still smiling. Homma froze in her mouse position.
-You must be surprised.
-It’s okay.
-I'll do it.
In that moment the choice… it moved by itself.
[Stay.]
[Stay.]
“…!!”
After the effect confirming the choice continued briefly, the game continued smoothly.
-Thank you. For staying.
-You know, I can’t get out.
-From this game…
Seon Ahyeon’s smile slowly disappears. Homma screamed.
‘Why does an in-game character say he is in a game!?’
But the guard did not stop talking.
-Because you can only clear this game by avoiding or suppressing me.
-Go outside the facility.
-Take the jewel.
The guard looked away.
The screen naturally rotated to show a glass tube in the center of the background.
A close-up of the brightly shining green gem inside the glass tube…
-Stop.
The screen blinked, then disappeared.
The jewel has disappeared.
“……”
Now Homma had no time to be surprised.
The screen, which was cut off for a moment as if edited, returned to a close-up of Seon Ahyeon.
-There are no jewels anymore.
-There are no other characters.
-Let’s play like this.
Said the guard.
-You can try to escape from here.
-I will try to stop you.
-Like that… Let’s continue.
And the dice appeared on the screen.
With a standard that separates success from failure.
[Standard Value: 7]
“Uh oh…”
Homma looked around without realizing it and reached for the mouse. The moment you click the dice out of habit.
[5]
A number smaller than the standard value of 7 appeared.
If this happens,
‘I won right away…’
It was that moment.
Seon Ahyeon stretched out his hand to the dice on the screen.
“…!?”
And then, he grabbed the dice… The top position has been changed!
[8]
-I told you… I’m going to stop you.
The guard smiled.
[Fail]
A red spool effect pierced Homma's face as she covered her mouth.
Then the guard held the dice back in front of the screen with his cotton-gloved hand.
To the player.
-Roll it.
-Again.
"... !!"
That's how a crazy story began.
***
-Ssseon Ahyeon, what?
-Hidden route sbbssbsbsb
Homma, who was trying her best to avoid spoilers, didn't know, but in fact, the first witness of Seon Ahyeon hidden route appeared around the time she was looking for a strategy for the true ending.
And after several attempts among people who doubted whether it was true or not, the screams began to spread.
-Oh, what on earth is that?
-For some reason, the amount of God Bambi screentime was small, but there was a hidden route. Is it the prison warden's personal story?
At first, people were upset because they thought people were screaming at the very fact that there was a hidden route, but after seeing the route for themselves, they started screaming along with it.
-??????
-Help me
-What should I do? What should I do about this?
After half a day, everyone figured out the situation.
What have the crazy guys from TeSTAR done?!
-Do I need a different version of the album code to see Hidden route?
Is there anyone who can lend me that code? I really want to see it.
And after many different attempts, additional conditions were discovered.
-Conditions for entering the hidden ending: Album code for another version whose true ending was viewed on the account
I emphasize again that you must enter the code you saw for the true ending.
In other words, it was only possible for someone who had actually purchased and played another version of the game and seen the true ending.
-I made it so that only true fans can see it.
-In the game, only Ahyeon was cursing like a dog, asking why she didn't have a different costume. Was it just that I didn't play the game enough?
-You can enter if you just choose the right option, right? Since it's a game that doesn't require controls or anything like that.
ㄴThere is some luck element in the true ending, but the play time is not very long in the first place, so you can easily skip it.
And a chain of events occurred where everyone who tried screamed again.
-Wassi
-ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Ah, it's so good, it's so surprising ahhhhh.
-They are really perverts. They played this role to Angel Deer.
-If you watch this without knowing the spoilers, you'll really get goosebumps.
For reference, the person involved, Homma, already had zero life.
For reference, the outcry from people who didn't get spoiled and saw it by mistake was already dominating social media through sharing.
This is because surprised reactions are traditionally fun.
There was even a streamer among them.
[Ah... This is really well made. It really looks like an abandoned factory, or rather an industrial complex. Well, I think TeSTAR almost forgot that they was an idol from the beginning.]
After watching the true ending, this person was disappointed by the rule that he could not upload it as a video, so he immediately tried to watch another version one more time.
Of course, there were also attempts to satisfy the new viewer base.
[Please take a look at the prisoner's version. I would like you to buy the prisoner's version and check it out. No, this is not a game, it's an album... Right, haha.]
However, while chatting with the viewers, this person who did not know the idol well made the mistake of confusing the photo card version... It was committed.
and.
-Let's keep playing.
[…] ?!]
The streamer's eye-popping expression and the question marks in the real-time chat window were truly amazing.
-BJ Dungdung I suddenly stepped on the hidden route of Roll the Dice. It's chaos hahaha.
For your information, Homma also heard this news and was watching the Internet broadcast, which was not even allowed, with an expression of great admiration.
Seon Ahyeon’s hidden ending route was... was truly hidden.
-Huh.
-Again.
While playing an intense dice roll with Seon Ahyeon, the protagonist, who inevitably loses, is constantly pushed into a corner.
And the location changes as if you are constantly being pushed and pushed and running away.
Places in the facility that appeared in the game. Labs, monitor rooms, hallways, and even prisons.
Each time, the guard would appear in a straitjacket, saying, 'I wanted to try it on at least once,' and other times, he would appear in a phantom thief's uniform and continue to play a one-sided dice game with the protagonist.
Then, the player takes advantage of the gap.
The guard is encouraged to first manipulate the dice that he has not rolled yet and catch them....
After pretending not to know and taking it back, they act one step later.
So, I finally won.
-Ah.
At that thrilling moment of escape, the game returns to normal!
[Aaaah, it’s done!!]
In the restored game, the true ending proceeds normally... There is just one thing that is different.
The very last attic scene.
It's like someone is talking to me from within.
-A voice like a friend who has been with you for a long time.
Players could talk to Bae Se-jin, who was playing a board game, with options!
[omg! Everyone, this can't be right....]
So, at last.
-Look, I'll try to convince the warden.
-Huh?
-Really?
Just before escaping, what to do about the prison warden, Seon Ahyeon... You can change it!
It is not Kim Raebin who is subduing, but Bae Sejin who is trying to persuade.
However, much harsher standards than the original is applied.
-Umm... In this case, the player must get the number '1' for the persuasion to succeed.
-…!
Only the dice roll of '1' is successful.
Odds of 1/10.
-Just use him. It's better to be strong.
-we should talk like a civilized person.
-Sullen bastard.
-You stupid bastard.
Leaving behind Cha Eugene and Kim Raebin's argument, Bae Sejin picks up the dice of fate.
And the moment when board game host Seon Ahyeon’s also hides the dice behind her book.
Above that, as before, the image of the prison warden, Seon Ahyeon, overlaps.
And,
-……!
This time, the player must roll Bae Sejin's dice... You can hand it to the jailer, Seon Ahyeon.
So that he can manipulate the dice eyes at will.
-…Ah.
So, the result is.
[1]
……Player's jackpot.
-…….The warden is persuaded by the hacker’s words… That’s it.
After a moment of silence.
-Wow!!
-Nonsense! You are amazing!
-What have been the psychopath's actions up until now? What kind of counselor is a hacker?
Teenager TeSTAR, who was playing the game, also went crazy due to the crazy results.
In the end, the guard, Seon Ahyeon, also escaped out of the facility... That’s the ending.
-……You, along with the mysterious and terrifying guard with the baton... Head towards the exit.
The board game host's hand moved.
There was a close-up of the warden's card going out of the board game board and the stone wall of the prison.
Leave his message.
-Thank you.
[Hidden Ending]
~%EA%B5%AC%EC%A1%B0
“Ha……”
Really… Watching it again, it was a beautiful ending……
Immersed in the lingering feeling of watching the end of a drama, Homma watched the streamer watching the end for a while.
[And… This is how it all ends. Everyone is escaping.]
The streamer was also absorbed in the lingering emotions and watched the ending credits together.
And he didn't forget to leave his thoughts about each member whenever their cut appeared in the credits.
[Ah~ I think Moondae's experimental subject character came out really cool, and Cheongwoo was also really good when he was fighting or doing things like this~]
'Yes.'
It was when Homma nodded inwardly, thinking that she would like to hear more comments about Moondae.
The attic version of Seon Ahyeon passed by in the credits.
Then the streamer suddenly started saying something out of the blue.
[B-But I... I think this person seems a bit suspicious.]
“…??"
[A game master playing board games in the attic? This person plays two roles, one as the head of the prison guard.]
Yes?
[But he was the only one who had a bad expression in this ending. Does his expression look bad only in the hidden ending where the prison guard escapes?]
Uh… Huh?
[Oh, right. Seon Ahyeon. Is... Is this person really dark? It's the same.]
[Oh, is it too much? Anyway, please let me know when the next work comes out. Let's play!]
After receiving the donation message, 'Dungdung, come to your senses, this is an album, there is no next work', the streamer burst into laughter.
But Homma couldn't laugh.
I felt it intuitively.
'It's a piece of cake.'
This... The next album is a piece of worldview!
But, if that's the case.
'Ending credits, direction part... TeSTAR was written first.'
They planned this...?
Since when did this… Are you saying it was all planned and made?!
***
“You guys are pushing it in 60 days… Thank you for your hard work.”
“……”
“……”
There is no answer. They all seem to be dead.
No, in fact, they looked like corpses.
I just lay there, barely blinking at the manager. My body receiving manual therapy felt like a punching bag filled with water.
'I need Bacchus.'
If I could get that trait again, I thought it would be okay to take off 30% of the exhaustion fee. Really.
I rolled my eyes and looked around.
Everyone was stretched out with faces as if they were about to faint.
Cha Eugene, who is usually full of energy, doesn't look like he wants to open his mouth that much now.
It was worth it.
'It was crazy.'
Instead of having programmers create game content, we film it ourselves.
'That also goes hand in hand with stage preparation....'
It wouldn't be surprising if Ryu Chungwoo or Keun Sejin, who filmed a lot of action scenes, planned to assassinate me for making the schedule.
The surprising thing is... The thing is, those guys aren't MVPs of the trouble either.
It's that guy over there.
"Wait a minute. "I'll press it."
“……100 million views."
Bae Sejin.
That guy, who looked like he was about to lose his breath, actually played the main role in the album game, from guiding members to recording narration.
The roles were divided.
Moreover, even before they split, they played a very crucial position.
I forced myself to open my mouth.
“Hyung.”
“……”
“Guys, since you have time…”
Although Bae Sejin didn’t dare say, ‘it was fortunate,’ opened his mouth to see if he understood.
“……Uh.”
“……”
Ah, who are ‘they’?
'The most important person to succeed in this damn thing within time....'
It is...... The filming crew.
Actually, that was the biggest problem.
Among the fields that idols can do, such as entertainment and drama, they can't use T1 capital or anything that requires effort....
'One, even though they were photography experts, there were areas where they could cooperate with us.......'
Just the movie version.
Because there were so few cases where idols appeared, it was a field where T1 didn't immediately put us in check on the entire game, like entertainment or music rooms.
'And Bae Sejin, he shot 10 million views movies....'
So, surprisingly, that very sociable guy gathered up his movie connection from his days as a child actor and airlifted them to me.
People who will film the game.
From there, this crazy operation began.

-Please, please tell me the route to putting Lee Sejin in a straitjacket. It was in the music video or something, Please I don’t know how.
-The comedy ending where Cha Eugene escapes alone is so funny, I laughed out loud while filming Chakitty
-Wow, when Baese got his wallet stolen on the way to work, it was actually Chungwoo who stole it Lol the scene is shown in the jailer version!! (gameplay recording)
Good content after content and more content.
Originally, after the music video was released during the comeback, there was a gap of a few days between the appearance on music broadcast.
Usually, this period was spent in anticipation, looking at social media news, previews, and small content. Or watching the music video over and over again while anxiously waiting for the broadcast to air…
-Ahhhh, Eugene finally put on the guard uniform ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ wtf I’m so happy, I can barely breathe. Wear your uniform loosely, my baby.
It’s completely changed.
The fan community and SNS were flooded with all kinds of spoilers, strategies, videos, and screenshots, it was truly a celebration.
(t/n: “it was truly a celebration”: I didn’t know whether to change it to “it felt like Christmas” because in this context it felt like fans were getting so much content/fanservice similar to the feeling of getting lots of gifts on Christmas.)
TeSTAR placed a lenient rule that the ‘normal ending’ and ‘bad ending can only be streamed.
The reason for such an unconventional attempt in the first place was to spread the word of mouth and because it’s a promotional opportunity that couldn’t be missed.
Besides, if you wanted to experience it for yourself, you have to buy the album anyway.
The ‘code’ on the photocard, which opens the locked door at the ending, belongs to one account, so pirates couldn’t see the ending!
-LOL you’re a bitch.
-But I’m worried that it’ll be pirated soon because they’re good at making all kinds of cracks ㅠㅠㅠ
-However, it seems like the sales are doing okay since it’s released. Oh, it’s great that the USB is counted by album sales.
-it’s really a new worldview, fun fun
In addition, the lyrics, music, and concept photos that can be downloaded from the game title received favorable reviews for the unique emotions they provide when looking back after playing the game.
-The game deepens the narrative of the album… Fuck I hated the worldview so much. I can’t believe they made me say that.
Overall, it was a unique attempt.
And it was completely unexpected.
First of all, it means that aggro was drawn properly.
[TeSTAR put a real game in the album]
[<127 Section> Ruined Factory production team releases new work: Testa Album (no joke)]
[TeSTAR’s crazy live-action gameplay status haha]
The astonishment of fans who had no idea that the MV expansion version was actually a game spread everywhere, and naturally, Internet users came across the news.
-The MV was an introduction to the game.
-What’s going on lol
-TeSTAR, you really do everything. I really respect you. From a magical boy to the one road of Otaku
-I want to try this too. What's going on with the quality? Can I just buy the album? What should I buy?
On WeTube, several gamer streamers who couldn’t miss this piece of gold were already playing it.
It was because of Lee Sejin’s shocking prologue that it was easy to get reactions and the WeTube scene came out well, so it was a win-win.
Of course, there were fights and noises as tastes and evaluations went back and forth, but even that was a hot topic.
It was a promotion that I couldn’t ask for.
-If I order now from the official website, will it arrive tomorrow?? I took the bus to the store, and it was sold out.
-What version should I start with?
-TeSTAR, this title game is an OST? Hey?? Why is everyone so upset?
Thanks to this, album sales were soaring tremendously. Simple components such as a USB, recycled paper box, and photocard, lower the barrier to entry by allowing users to purchase the album without burden.
This was just the beginning of all this typhoon-like activity.
“Whoa.”
Homma was playing the game like crazy.
The balance of thrill with a cinematic live-action structure, interactive choices, and luck elements that do not require much control… It did a great job appealing to the people.
Thanks to this, she was devoting all her free time to playing.
“The scene of Moondae is really pretty…”
Currently, I was replaying the VER 2 album, which mainly features Prisoner Moondae. When playing as a prisoner through the VER 2 USB album, the chapter started from the past perspective of Park Moondae and Cha Eugene.
-Oh, the two of them are having a heated argument in the lab, but I’m scared of them all.
ㄴ?? Wasn’t it very sad and pitiful?
ㄴ?? What choice did you have?
ㄴ Exactly your choice.
Also, in the latter half of the episode, there was an event where the thieves wore prison uniforms when they were caught, and an event where they overpowered the guards and made them wear prison uniforms.
-Moondae throwing his prison uniform at Keunse seems to have personal feelings, but it’s not acting, it’s like they’re really friends.
ㄴ LOL
During the playthrough, I was able to find out a little bit about the identity of the experiments the prisoners were being subjected to.
[⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ 10ml administration: Detect objects 100m away
-Complaints of dizziness, hallucinations, and headaches.]
'Hmm, psychic? Is this an experiment to create something similar?'
For some reason, it felt like an American sensibility... It was definitely a bit weird and creepy that way.
Anyway, Cha Eugene seemed to have an extraordinary mind and a very developed sixth sense, and Moondae seemed to be able to use telekinesis!
‘……Although he vomited blood.’
After recreating the scene in the music video where the surveillance camera explodes and seeing the bad ending where the gate collapses, she sealed away her telekinetic powers.......
Album VER 2's prisoner POV playthrough felt like that.
A story similar to the Phantom Thieves POV, but more desolate and focused on facilities.
However, the VER 3 album was a little different.
In the case of this camp of guards, we took a slightly special structure....
It was a play that started from Lee Sejin's perspective and cooperated with the phantom thieves.
-Shh.
-…!
-Be quiet and follow me.
‘Omg.’
It’s like he’s sick of the facility and pretend not to show it… It seemed like he was a guard on our side. Of course, the truth is, I was planning to catch them all at last minute, so they don’t steal them.
Is what Lee Sejin said while humming to himself.
-It’s nice~ They come on their own and break the rules…
‘Evil!’
VER 1, the first experience with the intensity of the prologue made it powerful!
Thanks to this, VER 3 has a strange structure which made the players dizzy wondering when they will get back stabbed.
‘Hmm, was this because I played as a Phantom Thief first?’
“Uh, wait. Come to think of it.”
Was the order really intentional?
Homma suddenly have an idea.
They key shape in the music video… it’s the same of the USB in the VER 1 album.
The other two look slightly different from the music video.
When selling, it was shown on the product page. People who were only going to buy one album would obviously buy VER 1.
Before that, I bought the album reservation without any information knowing that it would come in a set.
‘And those who bought all 3 must’ve played VER 1 first since it was in the music video.’
Don’t you think it was strange?
That means that the players will experience playing as phantom thieves before exploring the story of the prisoners and camp guard.
After experiencing the first version, you can continue discovering new things while maintaining the thrill in the other versions.
‘And.’
Homma gapped.
She was unable to process the detailed structured to prevent multiple playthroughs being boring. Even if she didn’t know the game well, it was very touching.
‘Oh my god,’
Anyways, let’s talk about it.
In VER 3, the phantom thieves were able to accompany Lee Sejin and wore blue navy unforms!
There was no longer an option to hide from the guards.
Instead, an event occurs where you can access the facility's documents or find more information.
-Keep It Safe, hence 'KIS'.... What do you mean by “keeping safe”?
-Um, the people outside?
-…From what?
-From all danger? Hey, I don't know either~ How would the employees know that?
Fortunately, Lee Sejin's values become slightly shaken when the phantom thieves cooperate with the prisoners and build some friendships with them.
This is because we learn that the two prisoners were imprisoned even though they had not broken any rules.
-I was kidnapped.
-Me too.
-……Hmm.
And through various events, he comes to accept Ryu Chungwoo's proposal to join as a phantom thief.
-Is that so?
-…!
-It’s almost time for me to change jobs since my annual leave is coming to an end.
“Oh oh!
This way, he was succeeded in seducing many TeSTARs, including the guard, Lee Sejin…
She watched only the normal ending to the end.
‘Why!?’
Although I was exposed to spoilers for Moondae’s syringe options, I made the right choice and saw the phantom thief’s uniform… It was in the normal ending back then too.
“What…?’
About Ahyeon… Is It because you’re so scared that you couldn’t approach Ahyeon or seduce him.
[We left this damn facility.]
It’s like this every time and the ending credits roll with after content!
Anyways, all that’s left is Park Moondae’s amazing thighs… That’s it.
So, this time she was really prepared.
“Let’s do this…”
Homma looked up a strategy while avoiding spoilers as much as possible and sat down in front of the computer again, clenching both hands.
Found it! The True Ending conditions!
‘First if all, you have to play VER 1 first…’
She clicked on the game icon and quicky played through it.
Now for the strategy.
-No matter which faction you are in, make everyone except Seon Ahyeon your comrades and then meet Ahyeon in front of the final gate!
‘I guess the dice came up when I was hiding was a hint!’
That wasn’t entirely the ‘right’ option.
If you meet without recruiting all your friends, it’s game over, but if you meet with all your friends, a true ending event will occur!
‘Good.’
Then the fateful moment.
-If you just turn there…
Homma closed her eyes tightly and ignored the ‘hide’ option.
Finally…
Tap, tap.
Bae Sejin, who had put the key in the lock pad, flinched and looked back.
From around the corner, a blonde guard in a navy-blue uniform came out, starting with military boots.
The screen froze.
“Whoa.”
Homma clenched her fists and…
-……
The background music flowed into emptiness.
Seon Ahyeon stared at the key Bae Sejin was holding.
Next, he glances at the six people standing around, dressed in the same style.
After alternating shots and breathtaking close-up scenes…
The guard opened his mouth.
-There it is.
-…!
-The jewel.
Homma covered her mouth.
‘Omg!’
Yes!
A gem that the phantom thieves tried to find, but ultimately concluded it was false information spread by this facility to capture test subjects.
Tutaculum really exists… Seon Ahyeon informed me.
Then, he turned around and started walking away again without shaking.
Tap, tap.
On the screen, Bae Sejin swallowed his saliva.
-…What should I do?
[Follow. -Trust]
[Ignore. -Disbelief]
“……After,”
This is unconditional.
If you follow along and fail here, there's no way you'll get the true ending!
Homma quickly clicked 'Follow', and naturally the characters on the screen followed Seon Ahyeon.
Seon Ahyeon passed the outskirts of the complex facility several times, moving at a speed that was not very considerate.
Down, down.
Overcome a couple of light dice decisions....
Jiiiing-
-…Where?
We arrived in front of a small iron gate.
Next to it is a locking pad like the entrance.
With modern organ BGM playing, Seon Ahyeon stood next to the iron gate.
The six members with the keys approached the lock pad.
Only then did the blonde guard open his mouth.
-Obverse.
'... obverse?'
Homma was embarrassed.
I'm entering the code and suddenly what does the front side mean?
'Is there anything on the front of the photocard?'
However, no matter how much I looked, there was no hint in the photo of Kim Raebin with the awl in his mouth.
'On the back is this....'
[AW23-5DQ2-B25E]
This code.
Just as she was about to panic, fortunately Bae Sejin's narration came out.
-The code is... Among the dummy data in the key, it was written on the back of the man's photo. It's not facing the front.
'I know yeah!'
-But facing front? Why are you saying the opposite?
-……Wait, the opposite?
"...!!"
At that moment, Homma also realized.
If you think of the letters on the back as being viewed from the front.
'... It looks backwards, in the opposite direction!'
If so, the code is....
Crash.
She started tapping on the keyboard.
[AW23-5DQ2-B25E]
this.
[E52B-2QD5-32WA]
Then it should be like this!
“…Okay!”
The moment you press enter,
Uuuuuung-!
With a bright light, the iron door began to open.
My toes felt tingly.
'Wow....'
And after the light subsides.
In the screen, in the very center of a small room with iron walls on all sides.
Inside the hexagonal glass tube was a beautiful, green-colored gem.
An ecstatic BGM was played.
'The props are really cool...’
The camera slowly approached the jewel....
A gloved hand reached out. and....
[Catch the jewel.]
[Ask a question.]
“……”
A choice appeared.
‘Hmm,’
Homma crossed her arms.
This game had no save and load feature.
It is possible to skip events that have already been seen, but this means that once a choice has been made, it’s impossible to go back to the previous moment.
But.
‘…The truth must be revealed.’
My friends on social media said that’s the meaning of the true ending!
Feeling like a detective, Homma swallowed and pressed down.
[Ask a question.]
On the screen, Bae Sejin withdrew his hand. Then he turned his head to Seon Ahyeon.
-…Why did you bring us here?
-……
-What is your purpose? Why are you giving us the jewel, the Tutaculum?
It was then.
-…! Wait for a sec,
Someone intervened.
…Prisoner Park Moondae, who was dressed in a phantom thief-style leather suit, asked quickly in a low voice.
-What do you mean “Tutaculum”?
Bae Sejin responded.
-This gem is the Tutaculum.
Park Moondae’s face turned pale.
-No, that’s… This is the drug administered to the prisoners managed here.
-…!!
-It’s not a gem. Tutaculum is… Here, it’s a code word meaning drug.
Wow, crazy.
‘The drug that creates superpowers…’
No, now that I think about it, it seemed like it was green too. Homma covered her mouth again and stared at the screen with a twist.
“…”
The camera slowly turns.
Ryu Chungwoo asked while looking at the blonde guard.
-Then,
-What is this gem?
That moment.
The screen turned off.
"...?!"
Only then did Seon Ahyeon’s voice rang softly from the black screen.
- The guard mysterious and scary with the black baton did not open his mouth.
-But at the end of that gaze... There was a prisoner.
With calm BGM, the screen became bright again.
And what is revealed... It was an attic.
TeSTAR sat on the floor between the warm lamp light and a board game in the middle.
That scene from the teaser.
"...??"
Homma is in confusion!
However, Sun Ahyeon’s calm voice continued.
-It’s the players’ turn.
Cha Eugene and Park Moondae, who were sitting comfortably, twitched their eyebrows at the same time. They were two people who played the role of prisoners.
Ryu Chungwoo, who was resting his chin, spoke thoughtfully.
-You said you saw the prisoner. Did he want to give the jewel to the prisoner? As Compensation?
-There’s no psychopath, so it's probably like that.
After Cha Eugene grumbled, Park Moondae opened his mouth, rubbing his chin.
-…Well, if a hacker is able convince several people to the same side in such a short period of time, it seems like he will become a threat in the future. Isn’t he trying to give me the real jewels and send them back? It’s cheating.
-Ah~ Don’t have any regrets.
Lee Sejin nodded and smiled cheerfully.
-Good! Then I will say this.
Then, the screen was sucked in, the background returned to the secret facility.
In that scene, Lee Sejin, dressed as a phantom thief, spoke.
-I also have a question~
-“Keep It Safe”. Speaking of the slogan… Actually, it’s not “Safe”, it’s Sacrifice, right? Chief jailer. What are we keeping safe?
-I thought there were rules, but now I see that they don’t really follow them~
After that, a truth battle continues using the secrets of the facility discovered while playing the game.
And the conclusion is…
-It’s not a prison… It was a research institute.
This facility was an institution conducting research to completely control Tutaculum, a drug that gives strange abilities!
'Ooh.'
It was quite exciting to see the information collected so far being connected.
-Really?
I still don't know why the scenery returns to the attic as if I'm being sucked in again.
It was nice to hear Seon Ahyeon’s soft voice.
-But the blonde guard was neither agitated nor answered.
-Oooooh!
-Should we fight?
-Let’s fight, I’ll roll the dice.
In response to the combative members’ reactions, Seon Ahyeon, who was holding a book, smiled and nodded.
-Yes, then… Who will fight?
-Of course, the strongest person should do it, right?
-……
Raebin Kim clicked his tongue and held up the dice as if he didn't feel like it and Seon Ahyeon also picked up the dice.
-I'm going to roll a cube. The maximum number is 6. Players are left with a dodecahedron, with a maximum number of 10. That's a big difference.
-Still, if the player's dodecahedron number is smaller, the player can defeat the warden.
Some might jeer at this as it is a ridiculous scam, but everyone is just nodding their heads as if they are very immersed in it.
Homma did the same, but soon realized the reality.
'Uh oh, can I really do it?'
And that premonition was correct.
'omg!’
As the dice appeared on the screen, Homma was almost screaming internally as she calculated the odds... Finally, I put my hand on the mouse again.
And pressed,
"evil."
Degurrrrr....
The ten-sided dice rolls... Rolling... The numbers....
[5]
‘…Oh, no.'
It’s too big!
Homma felt her blood run cold and swallowed her saliva without realizing it as she looked at the screen.
The game was in progress.
Sun Ahyeon was throwing the dice inside his book, so the numbers were not visible.
Over Seon Ahyeon's face, an expressionless guard in a navy-blue uniform briefly overlaps.
'uh?'
But after a while.
Seon Ahyeon smiled brightly and put the book away.
The number shown by the black die is....
[6]
-I was defeated.
-Oh my God!
-Oh~
Cheers erupt.
-So, you guys…
Seon Ahyeon smiled and closed the book.
-You obtained the jewel and successfully escaped from ‘KIS’ foundation.
-I was your game master.
Applause erupted.
-Ah~ It was fun!
-Thank you for calling me. It was fun to try.
-Oh, no…
Seon Ahyeon smiled softly and put the paper book he was holding. As he said before, he seems to be in charge of hosting this board game.
‘Oh, I think I saw something like this on TV?’
It came out like this because it was an American teen concept!
Homma nodded.
‘Ahyeon played a key role!’
Still, Ahyeon's fans may be a bit disappointed that the amount of content he has is small. That thought passed by without me thinking, but anyway, I was absorbed in the cute appearance and development of TeSTAR on the screen.
-You seem like a nerd, you made a fuss about not liking it, but surprisingly you enjoyed it~?
-I know that if anyone talks about what happened today at school, I won't leave them alone.
-Look at this guy!
While Cha Eugene and Lee Sejin are grumbling, Kim Raebin is rubbing his chin. A rather violent silver accessory was shaking.
-The setting was 2025. They say the world will fall in 1999, but in a later era, I will have a stronger role.......
-You're better than me, who was a kidnapped test subject.
-Being a test subject would be better.
Kim Raebin responded grimly, but Park Moondae just chuckled and Seon Ahyeon also laughed when he saw that.
In that wholesome scene, Bae Sejin smiled and put down his dice.
The narration continued.
-Secret confinement facilities, experiments with psychics, hackers and phantom thieves, and even a thrilling escape. It was a great journey.
In the board game, jewel tokens were shown close-up on the screen.
-The secret we discovered was surprising, but there may be another story hidden there.
-No, I think it would be fun to tell the same story again.
The camera show TeSTAR in the attic, bathed in soft lamp light.
-…I hope to come back to play again someday.
The camera moves up to capture a harmonious image of TeSTAR sitting in a circle.
Along with the gently arranged sub-songs of this album, a subtitle came to mind.
[True Ending]
~In the tutáculum. (은신처에서)
(t/n: 은신처에서/in the hiding place, it’s in parentheses for the ones who don’t know English.)
It was the true ending.
“Ha…”
She leaned back in her chair.
So, this game is like the American teen TeSTAR from the 80s playing a board game... That was the concept.
'So, repackage album........'
It was all connected....
Homma felt an indescribable overwhelming emotion and watched the ending credits roll again.
The scenes I had seen so far passed through my mind, the scenes in the attic, and the character details.
“…..”
The dopamine was constantly increasing.
(t/n: homma said some slang word for a dr*g LMAO but there’s no way she actually did them…)
I was very curious about the stage, but I still had to wait to see the stage.
So that was why.
‘I’ll play again!’
***
After taking care of the urgent matters, she clicked the icon again and reconnected to the game.
This time it was a different version.
‘The warden!'
The main subject of Moondae was postponed for the grand finale!
In order to see the true ending one more time, I continued pressing the skip button.
'Ah, this is really fun.'
My heart was pounding. What new things will be shown in this version?
When the TeSTARs wearing guard uniforms side by side finally reached the point where they pressed the code!
"Good!"
[E52B-2QD5-32WA]
'Great!'
And that was the moment I pressed enter.
'Now the door opens and the jewel....'
It definitely had to be that way.
[%EA%B8%B0%EB%8B%A4%EB%A0%B8%EC%96%B4]
Instead.
The blonde guard looked back at the camera.
Seon Ahyeon.
'...Uh?'
-I pressed the wrong button.
“...??"
-It's a different version of the code.
Seon Ahyeon, who is in uniform in the game, smiled. It was his first time smiling as a jailer.
-You’re okay.
-But... I made a mistake with this.
Cotton gloves grabbed the camera.
-It means you played a lot.
"...?!"
Just now... “Play”?
-Correct? So, by chance, you ended up making a mistake by writing the code written on the card, not exactly as it was, but in the opposite direction... It means you did a lot.
The BGM has disappeared.
No, before I knew it... The angle of the screen also changed.
In the game world, were the other members were invisible, only Seon Ahyeon was visible.
That moment.
-Let's keep playing.
The hidden route has begun.

ep: 461
RTD arc part 1
next
-Insane board game;;;;
Fans’ SNS timelines began to explode with news of TeSTAR’s limited edition board game album.
After comparing the images, the reaction became even stronger when it was said that the board game seemed to have the same appearance as the one that appeared in the teaser.
-I guess they really used it as a music video prop.
-Is it a game structure that uses a poker app? I don't know what it will feel like. Will there be a TeSTAR world view?
-They know how to sell it, really haha.
-Wow, I really need to have this.
It was mainly excitement and anticipation, but not necessarily in a good way.
This was because of the limited number.
Even if a regular edition is released in the future, it will definitely be different in composition from the limited edition.
-Just 1000?
A group that sells millions of albums?
-Don't you think about the game? Wow, the sales will be very popular.
-How can I buy this?
-The agency can't let go of T1's actions.
-I wonder if someone is from a label under that label.
Thanks to this, TeSTAR’s new agency, Stars Orbit Entertainment, finally began to receive criticism.
In fact, because they were produced in a hurry to meet the schedule, it was impossible to meet the production schedule to make tens of thousands of units.
However, there was a feeling that this negative reaction was intentionally neglected to some extent.
This was to calm down the atmosphere of excessive deification of the label in advance.
This is because it is a burdensome task for both new companies and groups.
Anyway, if the composition of the regular edition was almost the same as the limited edition, it was a complaint that would soon subside.
Moreover, because TeSTAR’s comeback itself came first, fans couldn't just focus on criticizing the agency.
For example, something like this.
-Oh, the album is USB type.
Testa's album released this time was not a CD, but a USB.
It is also a standalone composition.
It ended up being a simple set-up consisting of only an album USB, a recycled paper box, and a photo card.
-I think we will continue to make USB products in the future due to environmental issues.
-Honestly, as album sales are growing, a lot of trash is coming out 0.0
However, not being able to receive the photos and lyric book in person made people feel strangely disappointed.
In an age where online streaming has become a trend, the reason to buy an album is because having physical possessions is more meaningful.
Moreover, the small number of components felt somehow shabby.
The USB may contain photos and lyrics as data, but the fact that you can't hold it in your hand feels somewhat chilling.
-Well, 3 types via USB...
-I wish you could show me what the USB looks like.
-I wish it was a doll or something.
-No, they don't really tell you anything, but they take reservations first. Maybe they should at least release some concept photos haha.
The quality of the teaser was good, and the voice was relatively quiet thanks to the enthusiasm for the concept of continuing the teen concept of the previous album, which ended unfortunately.
But it was definitely there. The strangely depressing atmosphere created by voices of dissatisfaction.
'Ha....'
In the end, fans who cared about it deliberately tried to find something be ter.
Part of the effort was to find special content that is not usually included in CD albums and to spread the word about it on Testa's album reservation product page.
-I heard that this album includes an extended MV version. Since it is in US B format, I think I tried it at a large volume. I'm already looking forward to it.
-There is a warning regarding the QR code reader! I guess there's something to read through QR. I think I prepared a lot.
But that was the end.
No more specific information about the album has been released even as the comeback date approaches.
'What are you thinking??'
Thanks to this, even the first Homma for Park Moondae had been tearing her fingernails out.
Although the concept photo was released once, it was a comfortable teen concept similar to the previous teaser.
This means that it was decent and pretty but had nothing special.
It felt too similar to the last album.
Compared to ‘Present’, which had a 30-minute teaser, 'Better me', which had a cinematic trailer, and 'Promise', which was like a movie.......
'There was only one teaser, it was a USB album, and the composition was simple....'
It was inevitable that the scary word 'cost-effectiveness' would pass through her mind.
-I could never have imagined being treated like this at a new company.
-The back of my head is tingling~~~What did you do with the dark damp ness? After all, it was a dark dampness that only works on the mysterious Seombyeol.
-Sambyeol is now active for a week and going on tour?
-Don’t you think this title will be somewhat similar to the previous title, ‘Pose’? But now it’s worse.
(* Seombyeol is to prevent talking about TeSTAR in search results.)
Amidst the swirling emotions below.
As anxiety, agony, excitement, and anticipation intertwined, the fateful day finally arrived.
It's midnight, Testa's first comeback day under the new company. Finally, the MV... It’s released.
"...Ha."
[TeSTAR 'Roll the Dice' Official MV]
Homma took a deep breath.
The title is dice, and the thumbnail also had dice......
How far will you go?
'Is this really a board game concept? I'm worried that it's gotten to this point because I feel like I'm going crazy... No!'
Homma shook off useless thoughts and clicked on the MV with trembling hands.
"Uh?"
What appeared on the screen was... It was a wooden floor. It was the floor of the attic that appeared in the teaser just before.
But TeSTAR, who was sitting there at that time, was not there. It wasn't them that was focused.
It's a board game board.
There are tokens and cards scattered on it.
However, the impression was a bit different from when it first appeared in the teaser.
I thought it was the typical plot of dividing the space and moving forward by picking up the ground.
But looking at it like this... Rather, it is more elaborate, realistic, and feels like a blueprint for a building....
‘…A prison? Maze?'
That moment.
The camera was sucked into it.
[You have my dice]
A low voice echoed through the black field of vision.
And the screen came back again.
-Doong...!
A long row of hallways.
Built with gray stones of different contrast ratios, the place looked like part of a huge underground dungeon.
The huge rusty nameplate on the floor was briefly captured on camera.
< KIS >
-Keep It Safe
Tap, tap.
You can hear the sound of footsteps and see iron doors lined up on both sides. It’s like someone’s point of view.
'Are you a jailer?'
Then, the camera leaves again.
Hwiik.
The camera, which went into an iron door on the left and immediately approached someone, who was sitting on the floor.
The figure was wearing a white costume with a harness, a stage costume reminiscent of a straitjacket or prison uniform.
Now she saw the figure with his head slightly lowered, Homma immediately noticed.
Close your eyes... Black-haired Park Moondae.
‘Huh…!’
Because his bangs were a little long, his eyes were slightly obscured.
The moment of close-up of the pale face,
-Pipipipipipipipi….
I started hearing small noises from somewhere.
A noise that appears when a machine detects something or operates.
Then Park Moondae raised his hand with his eyes closed and hit it somewhere.
Puck.
With a screen showing a surveillance camera exploding in the air. The music explodes.
[Touch your hand
My tape is cold again]
A mid-range sound that is refreshing.
And the screen soared upwards, and eventually it went up through the dark secret room and went to an upper level somewhere.
A ray of light shone from the ceiling of the place, a lattice-lined iron cage.
The tempo rises.
[The moment my heart beats
All my senses are slow]
In that ray of light, someone sneakily came down with a rope attached to the end of the torn-off iron cage.
It is Ryu Chungwoo, wearing a tight leather suit.
As he landed, a slightly mischievous smile appeared on his face.
The drum beat mixes in, and the bass rushes heavily along with a slightly more rocking sound.
[Exciting contact
In your silent eyes
[Finding a clear answer]
As Ryu Chungwoo puts his hand to his ear, the cut changes to someone doing the same motion.
It was Kim Rae-bin wearing glasses.
[There is only one choice
Yes, take it all (one more)
Even if I lose this tight grip]
Raebin Kim, who was sitting in front of a dark monitor room, looked like a hacker or an employee.
However, he soon turned his head with an expressionless expression, as if he had no idea, and then took an awl out of his pocket and smashed the monitог.
Just before the monitor crackles and turns off.
Between the twisted viewing angles, Cha Eugene, wearing a straitjacket, looked at the camera and smiled with her fangs showing.
And then the monitor turns off and silence.
[Let's Start, a fight]
Along with the low-pitched melody, the pre-chorus exploded.
[Find it and look at its face
I don’t care what’s next]
There’s cuts of each TeSTAR member running through gray hallways, secret rooms, mazes, monitoring rooms, and other unknown conceptual places that are connect without a break.
[Chaser today again
Don’t stop your hands]
It looks cool, but the moment it seems like the incredible cut transitions to a reappeared scene so much that you can’t even tell how many cuts were taken. Then someone’s hand blocks it.
It was a hand wearing cotton gloves.
[Find out everything
Don’t be scared what’s next]
The owner of the hand was Lee Se-jin.
Lee Se-jin, wearing a navy-blue uniform, was drinking coffee and smiling.
Then he turned his head to look at the broken monitor, took the key, and left the monitor room, humming.
[Chaser tomorrow again
Don't end the twist]
And the chorus.
[Just roll the dice]
During the dance break, costumes and the background changes naturally, like a cross-edited video of stages.
From white prison uniforms to military uniforms, and then back to leather suits.
“Huh.”
How many shots did they take of this one? No, it seemed like it was more exciting than running around, but I’m sorry to say that it was better than that, but it was enough to make my heart pound.
Homma swallowed her saliva and continued watching the video.
[Trust, take my side]
In the second verse after the chorus, the story and choreography are appropriately mixed, and the video returns to its original KPOP feel.
It is a powerful performance video full of concepts.
However, I was able to understand the story in quite detail thanks to the beginning.
'Let's see... Moondae and Cha Eugene, um, prisoners? It's the same thing. Raebin and Chungwoo are phantom thieves. And is Keun Sejin the jailer?'
However, Bae Sejin and Seon Ahyeon appeared in the performance in various outfits, but they were just tilting their heads, showing they were not sure about their specific roles.
[Okay, this Final Round]
It was when the bridge melody was flowing.
The screen suddenly changes from fast tempo to long take.
What is reflected is the back of someone standing in front of a huge iron door.
The camera soon rotated halfway, revealing his true identity.
It was Bae Sejin.
'Ah, it was a phantom thief!'
He was dressed similarly to Ryu Chungwoo. That was when Homma nodded.
Bae Sejin calmly looked at the iron door and reached for the lock pad next to it.
There was a strange mechanical device that looked like a key, and I wondered if there was a close-up of its leather gloved hands.
Ugh.
Suddenly, the hand changed several times, trembling between a hand wearing a cotton glove and a hand with a scar.
"...!"
But soon returned with gloved hands.
And the moment I connected the key to the lock pad, a code entry field appeared on the machine.
[______]
‘Oh!’
Bae Sejin seemed to be smiling faintly…
-puck!
With a clicking sound, the screen disappeared.
“…??”
[Just roll the dice
Trust, take my side]
There was no next verse.
In an instant, another dazzling performance video followed.
Even though Homma was fascinated by it, a question remained in her mind... In the end, I gave in to the performance.
'I'm sure you'll get a treat at the end...!'
Yes. The hint was given right when the song ended. But not in the way she expected.
On the screen that turned black, something else appeared instead of Bae Sejin’s whereabouts.
It was a close-up shot of a beautiful face.
"...?"
That... It was blonde-haired Seon Ahyeon, who is wearing a navy-blue uniform.
He looked straight into the camera and pursed his lips.
-…Choose your side.
The soft sound of string instruments began to flow.
As the screen slowly closed to black from top to bottom, Seon Ahyeon slowly turned his head and began to walk down the hallway.
It was the gray hallway we first entered.
The black baton waved slightly from Seon Ahyeon’s waist.
Looks good for subduing someone.
“…..”
Then the screen fades black.
Amid the soft string instruments, until only the clear sound of military boots remains.
-Tuk, knock, knock....
Then, a letter comes to mind.
[Roll the Dice]
~Please enter the code
The last thing that appears is a blinking black box.
This appeared when Bae Sejin accessed the lock pad in the music video.
and....
“….Ha!"
Homma let out the breath she had been holding.
crazy!
'I was worried for no reason!'
The quality was like a movie! Although it is a bit different from existing music videos, this will definitely get a response.
'There will be a huge reaction from foreigners....'
It was already expected.
'The world view is a bit... It was very bold, though.'
It was like a new world view! There was a bit too much force, so it felt like some kind of drama fan music video.
'Is the board game that worldview? 'Do you understand if you do that?'
It was when she was thinking hard.
Suddenly, personal messages poured in on social media.
'What?'
I thought it was just DuckTalk, so I clicked on it.
-The album product page popped up and it was the key from the crazy music video.
“…??”
-The key in the kid’s music video is the album USB!!
“…Uh huh??”
She opened her mouth and screamed.
‘Aaaah!!’
The next day.
‘Hurry! Hurry!
She frantically opened the album she had received.
So, while being as careful as possible, I hurriedly disconnected the USB, which was a music video prop, and connected it to the computer, then tried to access the folder.
Because....
'You made it so meaningful!'
There was definitely something in the MV expansion! I had to see it!
'Just click on the video like this!'
Could we see the extended version of the MV?
"... !!"
However, it was not the video player that welcomed her.
[Do you want to allow the TeSTAR Roll the Dice MV Extended Edition (Playable) app to change devices?]
App?
At that moment, she realized.
'Playable.'
game.
The MV extended version is... It was a game!

‘Crazy.’
Homma couldn’t even breathe properly as she waited for the game to be installed.
Originally, it was a rule for modern people to go on Kakao talk, SNS, or surf on the web on their smartphones while installing apps, but I didn’t have the spirit to do that.
‘When and how on earth did they make this?’ There was no time to ask questions or analyze things like that. My heart was pounding with tension just from overwhelming excitement and anticipation.
And after a while.
[Installation is complete.]
-Run immediately ( )
She checked the box without hesitation.
Then, the screen turns black and the logo passes by.
[Ruin Factory Area]
-Stars Orbit
As the modified TeSTAR logo reminiscent of a corporate or industrial disaster descends from the top, the title appears.
[Roll the Dice]
~Please enter the code
Flowing softly is the main melody of this slightly gloomy and modern remixed title song.
In the back, a dark floor, a board game board, and dice are projected.
It was perfect quality.
"Wow."
Is it this serious?
Homma felt joy that was almost embarrassing, but at the same time, she also felt secretly worried.
'But I don't know much about games....'
I thought it was just for fan service at best, but now that it's like this, I'm a little hesitant about whether I can really enjoy it.
She didn't know much about the unwritten rules of the game and didn't know much about the controls. She also roughly enjoyed <127 Section> because it was a mobile game.
And since there are people who dislike games, I thought there would be differences in likes and dislikes.
'Hmm.'
Of course, built-up anticipation trumped everything. There is no time to hesitate!
"Let's go!"
She bravely pressed 'New game'!
Then, the letters disappeared as if they were being sucked in, and the dice rolled....
Short loading.
and... The screen became brighter.
[2025. 06. 01.]
[PM 07:03]
-YOOHOO!
A sports car speeding along the road where the sunset sets filled the computer screen.
“...??"
What's this.
Even people in sports cars are new to the world.
There was a man and a woman wearing sunglasses, but the man didn’t look like TeSTAR at all.
It's a game character, but how can I be sure....
"It’s live action?"
Because it wasn't graphic!
-♪♬♬~♪♪♬~
The sports car speeding to exciting music was shown like a scene from a movie.
It was a moment when she could have misunderstood whether a defective product had been delivered by mistake, but she already knew that it was not the case.
'This... It's Pose.'
The song playing in the sports car was TeSTAR’s new song 'Pose'. A cheerful dance song suitable for driving played as BGM.
'This is TeSTAR’s game.'
So, she decided to wait a while.
The sports car on the screen continued to drive down a mountain road dyed red by the setting sun.
And soon, something strange appeared.
The road is blocked.
"...?"
A huge yellow and black barricade and flashing emergency lights were located in the middle of the road.
-What?
The music fades out.
Then, someone approached the stopped sports car.
He is a tall man.
-Just a moment, ma’am.
“Omg.”
It was Lee Sejin!
Lee Sejin, neatly dressed in a police uniform, smiles and tilt his head towards the sports car.
The women sitting in the driver’s seat was waving her arms angerly.
-What's wrong with you?
-Oh, the road ahead is closed. I'm sorry, but please turn around and use the main road.
- Where's the main road? I have to go back another half an hour, but I'd like to hear why.
- I'd love to, but I can't explain the details because I'm carrying out my official duties. Please.
Lee Sejin spoke softly and kindly and smiled.
'Handsome.....'
The hair style that exposed the forehead looked amazing.
However, the woman sitting in the driver's seat seemed to be the type of person who was truly faithful to her lover, so she didn't seem to be tempted by Lee Sejin.
Instead, the camera meaningfully captures her continuing to look at Lee Sejin with strange eyes.
-……
-Ma’am, could you turn the car around?
A strange tension rose.
The BGM has changed.
‘Well, what is it?’
- The police officer is very young.
-Ah, I'm getting assigned this time. Haha.
-Really?
- Yes. I know it's inconvenient for you, but please.
However, Lee Se-jin smiled until the end and slightly bowed his head. However, the tense BGM and strangely loud footsteps did not end. Tap, tap.
And after Lee Se-jin entered the guard post under the red sunset light.
Vroom
The sports car turned around and started to leave the scene.
'Phew.'
Strangely, it was when Homma breathed a sigh of relief.
The quiet man in the passenger seat broke the silence and open his mouth.
-Uh? Isn’t this the main road?
‘Uh???’
-Uh, when you get back from here, you’ll be reconnected right away, honey.
-What?
-We’re going to take the road that bastard blocked.
‘Huh???’
And, as if representing Homma’s feelings, the man in the passenger seat was also astonished.
-Why are we going there? The police stopped you, honey.
-Police?
The driver snorted.
-Have you ever seen a police officer saying something sarcastic when he sees a speeding sports car?
-What?
-And look at that. The roadblock.
At the same time as the passenger's man turned his head, the view of the screen also turned.
At the barricade.
It was slowly captured on screen again, Lee Sejin’s smiled crossed in the flashback.
The voice of the woman in the driver’s seat rang out.
-That barricade is a police officer. It’s sad.
-…!!!
-I don’t think he’s a cop.
-Ah…
-Look at how young he is. Where is the WeTuber? Live streamer? Isn’t that kind of guy pranking? He hid the camera.
It was at that moment, the bottom of the sports car’s field of view became slightly translucent and black. Something appeared on the screen.
->[It could be so. -relief]
->[How can you be sure of that? -suspicious]
It was a choice!
'Yes. Because it's a game, there are choices.'
It's a bit unfamiliar, but I thought I could just pick something that appeals to me.
However....
[00:10:00]
There is a time limit!
'10 seconds?!'
She was taken aback, but soon decided to choose the bottom option for some reason.
-How can you be sure of that?
It felt like something out of a movie cliché.
Isn't it natural that if you dare to enter a blocked area, bad events will inevitably begin?
'Sejin said don't come!'
Then don't go in! Why go! Does it matter if they are real police?
'Even if you're an idol, listen to me!'
No, I don't know why I'm picking on the positions of these people who were not in Testa's position in the first place... Let's make a choice in a hurry under the pressure of time limit.
-Ah, you don't believe me.
The person behind the wheel is angry!
[The other person is displeased.]
"Ugh."
Wait a minute, was choosing the answer above and comforting them the right answer?
She was confused, but progress did not stop.
-Well, that's not it....
-Then just watch. I'll be right on time for our flight.
The person in the driver's seat said that and started to speed away, turning the sports car roughly with one hand.
The camera pans away to show the sports car forcing its way onto a side road blocked by a 'no passing' sign and capture the gloom of the darkened mountains....
She swallowed her saliva and watched the scene like she was watching a thriller movie.
And then, after a while.
-That's random.
A sports car driving down a dark mountain road with its lights on ended up passing in front of an old building that suddenly appeared.
It was a gray building that looked like it was roughly made of concrete.
Although it was large, there was no sign of anyone.
-A factory? No?
-Oh, I see.
-It's a bit unusual for one to be in the mountains.
In slow motion, the camera was slowly scanning the exterior of the building through the perspective of a sports car passenger....
Focusing on one of the embossed patterns on the outside.
[KIS]
Homma also came to mind.
'I think it was in the music video?'
Right. Those were the initials on the floor of that gray hallway.
Could it be that these people are entering that prison as a player?
'Yes, it could be because the view is now in the first-person view of these people.'
It was a time when she was making her own guess.
-Uh, that....
That moment.
Thud.
The sports car overturned.
"... ?!"
Uh?
And then it exploded.
-Puff puff puff puff!!
The screen, which rotated like crazy, bounced and rolled on the floor.
'Ugh!!'
Crazy!
Homma screamed without realizing it. The camera's view seemed to show a staggering, half-wrecked sports car... Soon I saw hands groping the floor.
And a choice appeared.
-> [Hold the smartphone.]
->[Call a passenger.]
This... This!
'There's no point in calling a passenger! It's a smartphone!'
Calling out doesn't mean the injured person will get better, so you need to take productive action first!
She quickly pressed her stomach.
Then, to my delight, my hand groped the floor and found my smartphone!
'Yeah!'
The moment when she was inadvertently immersed and tried to cheer on the hand that pressed 911.
-Ahh!!
It turned out that the smartphone was broken.
"Ugh."
Is there no answer to this?
Homma was sweating and thinking about restarting the game, saying she must have made a mistake.
I heard a voice.
-Are you okay there?!
As the screen rotated as if I had turned my head, I saw a tall figure in a police uniform approaching in a hurry.
It was Lee Sejin who came running.
-Wait a minute!
'Uh huh? what?'
It was a moment of confusion as I didn't know what was going on.
Lee Sejin approached and immediately held out his hand.
-Give that to me.
He gently took the smartphone out of the way and shrugged his shoulders.
He then shot the tranquilizer gun while making eye contact with the playeг.
"... ?!"
My vision, no, the screen became blurry for a moment.
Silence.
-……
It seemed like he was picked up and carried by Lee Sejin.
“...??"
While the situation is still not understood.
Sejin Lee's voice was heard.
-Ah~ It works every time, every time.
And the screen moved again.
Red frame, dented iron body and smoke.
The player... It was pushed back into the half-wrecked sports car!
"Huh?!"
-How nice is that you break rules on your own. I have no regrets because I did everything I had to do.
“…!”
Wow, crazy!
Lee Sejin’s innocent face standing outside the sports car was seen again.
He took out a notebook and began writing.
-Now, this time too……
- ‘No curfew sign’… ‘direct notification’, ‘kindness’, ‘emphasis on repetition’…
Lee Sejin held his hat and frowned, just like a police officer.
-I asked you to turn the car back, right?
-Ugh…..
-yes, yes. I though you wouldn’t listen~
Bang.
The sports car door closed.
The half-wrecked red sports car was towed by a black vehicle and began to be dragged away.
After that, lee Sejin’s humming in the black car rang out like background music.
-Umm~
It was a song famous among fans as a laid-back, easy-listening song from Testa's previous album.
And above that creepy feeling of discomfort, subtitles appear.
[Prologue End]
-Welcome to the KIS
Homma screamed silently.
'What's this!?'
Homma, who was mentally exhausted, was only able to press the enter button after 30 seconds and enter Chapter 1.
It was entirely because I was persuaded by Lee Sejin's good looks.
'I think Moondae will come out very handsome....'
And although I didn't realize it, the fact that the story was shocking and thrilling also played a role.
'It’s good!'
The game entered the main part like that, but this time it was played properly from the members' perspective.
-Would you like a ride?
A rainy fall day. Bae Sejin, who lost his wallet, gets help from Ryu Chungwoo, and gets into his car to go to work.
Then he suddenly receives a proposal from Ryu Chungwoo.
-There’s something I want to steal.
-…yes?
-We need a hacker.
Yes! Bae Sejin was a hacker.
But then…
‘…What about Raebin?’
Weren’t you sitting in the monitor room in the music video?
Even now, wearing glasses and looking at the laptop in the backseat of the car felt exactly like that.
So, Homma willingly chose the option of asking that question.
-He’s a hacker too…No?
-No., he’s strong… he’s really strong.
“Haha.”
Kim Rae-bin, who had been tilting his head in the backseat, lowered his head again.
For reference, even after breaking into the facility, Raebin Kim made Homma happy by generously showing the side of the strongest offensive player.
Anyway, what Ryu Chungwoo showed Bae Sejin was information about a gem called 'Tutáculum'.
- Tutáculum?
-It means protection or hiding place in Latin. It’s like a key access to the facility where this gem is located.
He handed over a 'key' shaped device, saying he had previously received it from a colleague, and asked for analysis.
And this was treated as a flashback, leading directly to a cut to infiltrating the facility!
-But of course, I had no idea that it was such a strange protective custody facility.
And from then on, it was a thrilling game of hide and seek and a series of choices....
'Ugh.'
Homma, who had already been tempted by Lee Sejin's spicy taste in the prologue, never wanted to be caught by Lee Sejin, no matter how handsome he was....
So, no matter what character I used, I tried my best to never encounter a guard and made as many choices as possible.
And from this point on, one more system was added.
It is a 10-sided die.
Roll, roll....
When you make a wrong choice, you roll the dice and if the number is small, you have a chance to make up for it!
The more critical the mistake, the smaller the figure required.
'Whoa!'
-Oh~ Today's coffee.
She narrowly avoided Lee Sejin's eyes and barely managed to hide in the cabinet and catch her breath.
And not long after... We also get to see her bias’ face.
-Hmm.
"Ugh!"
Park Moondae is in the lab!
The problem is, I was giving an injection or something... He was sweating coldly and looked very distressed.
However, he asks you not to remove the syringe!
-…No, please.
->[Crush the syringe. -Sympathy]
->[Leave it as is. -Unwavering mind]
Argh!!!
Homma, who was controlling Kim Raebin, was shocked, but eventually turned upward with trembling hands.
‘I’m sorry, Moondae…!’
But if you don’t break the syringe here…! In a movie cliché, Moondae would be killed!
And sure enough, when I broke the syringe, Park Moondae stabilized immediately.
She pressed capture while looking at the close-up shot of Moondae, who had lost consciousness and collapsed with a relaxed face, with tearful eyes.
Fortunately, Kim Raebin lifted Park Moondae and carried him to a safe place.
'Thank god....'
Homma, who was overly immersed, wiped away her cold sweat.
Anyway, from then on, a dizzying chase followed, with Ryu Chungwoo fighting with Cha Eugene inside the iron bars and finding out information.
And soon, the phantom thieves conclude that this is a strange place where test subjects are imprisoned, and that the information about the 'gem' they obtained is part of the test subject fishing.
-We must escape.
So, they change their route, and soon, thanks to Cha Eugene’s aggro, they discover an official escape route…
Here was the final difficulty.
-If you just go around the outskirts…
-Shh.
‘Wow, Ahyeon!’
Tap. Tap.
Batons, gloves, boots, chin, eyes.
Walking from across the hallway was staged with a cinematic mise-en-scène.
Seon Ahyeon only appeared with a cool and calm feeling throughout this movie, or rather, the game.
It also matched amazingly well and had an unexpected charm.
'After all, it's a facade....'
Homma was depressed.
And anyway, I had a hunch.
'In that music video... There was a hint that Ahyeon was the one who suppressed Bae Sejin when he escaped!'
It was clear that this was the hint. Her heart pounding, she repeatedly typed 'hide' from the options.
Surprisingly, even though it seemed like the right choice, the die rolled up.
[Standard value: 6]
60% chance!
Homma gritted his teeth.
Roll, roll....
'Please please...!'
The dice that stopped slowly, the eyes that pointed....
[2]
"Done!!"
Seon Ahyeon leisurely disappeared across the hallway.
So, I passed that turn safely.
'Phew.'
-Let's go.
She sighed and watched Bae Sejin approach the huge iron door.
It was the scene I saw in the music video.
Place the key in the lock pad, now enter the code....
'Uh?'
Come to think of it....
[_______]
What's the code?
“……..”
Game progress stopped.
So, there was no 10 second time limit like before. This means that you can conveniently enter information at any time.
But... What kind of code is this?
At that moment, Bae Sejin's narration flowed on the screen.
-This is a code I already know.
-I heard this from a phantom thief when I received this key.
And this time, he began to hear the voice of Ryu Chungwoo he was recalling.
-I would like you to analyze the key.
Bae Sejin's eyes were close-up.
-And I analyzed.
-The information the phantom thief wanted has been obtained. The location of this place is like a gem. However, there was also a lot of dummy data that seemed to have been intentionally included.
-As if to increase capacity so that it is difficult to find.
-Among the fake data that I almost overlooked at that time, there was a photo of a man… On the back of the photo, there was a code.
The narration ended there.
‘W-what is it?’
Homma was embarrassed and read the subtitles again.
'Man's... photo.'
No way?
"Omg!"
She stood up and lifted the album box that she had put aside after taking out the USB drive earlier.
And he took out the only component left inside.
Photo card.
On the back of the photo card of Raebin Kim holding the end of an awl in her mouth, there was a code written along with the logo.
[Roll the Dice]
~please enter the code
[AW23-5DQ2-B25E]
She typed it with trembling hands.
The moment you hit enter.
Bae Sejin on the screen also began moving his hand over the lock pad and....
-It’s a success…!
The door opened.
“Done!”
She reflexively clenched her hands, but then realized.
'And!'
This is a structure that makes buying the album very rewarding!
Anyway, she reflexively got up from her seat, sensing a happy ending.
It was the reaction of someone who didn't know much about the game, completely unaware that what he saw was a 'normal ending -3'.
Anyway, I'm finally starting to lower my evaluation a bit.
'It was truly immersive!'
I don't know how they filmed this or how divided the kids were... I wanted to do it again right away and choose other options!
Most importantly, I liked the costumes, and the acting was good without being cringy, perhaps because it was action oriented.
Honestly, there was a synergy effect because Bae Sejin acted so well. But what bothers me is....
'Ah, the phantom thieves appeared too much like the main characters, didn’t they?'
There were some issues with the length, but it strangely felt like an event was organized from the phantom thief's perspective.
'Ah, Ahyeon’s actual screen time is a bit small.'
And I still had some unresolved questions about what the board game was……
'Really... The quality was unbelievable.'
I don't know what to say about this. When watching a movie, it feels like I am choosing what the characters will do!
Even fans who don't like games would like this.
This was her first time properly encountering the 'interactive movie' genre, and she nodded eagerly.
'Even thinking about it again, I really liked the outfit... Ha, it's really the best.'
As she waited for the epilogue to load, she finally decided to go to the bathroom.
And that was when I naturally picked up my smartphone.
-Please try playing other versions of the album as soon as possible. I am saying this out of loyalty.
“…??"
-Crazy Version 2. When playing, the prologue changes. The prisoner comes out.
-Is it really their choice that there were 3 albums?? Phantom thief prison guard?
What, what?
-The main storyline is almost the same, but the individual events are different.
“……”
Homma was flustered and rushed to the bathroom and to the delivery box.
And opened the second album USB.
The second USB album with Cha Eugene’s photo card, showing her tongue slightly, and took it out in a hurry.
She swallowed her saliva.
"Do I have to do this first?"
Since Moondae is a prisoner, should I do this to see a lot of Moondae content? While Homma is in confusion, her smartphone screen lit up again.
-Uh, since this choice doesn’t break the syringe, Park Moondae becomes a Phantom Thief in the playthrough.
-Park Moondae, did you wear a phantom thief’s uniform? Crazy Thighs! Thighs!
“…?!”
That… What is that again…?
This was the beginning of TeSTAR’s album meltdown.
