I Decided To Become a Perfect Girl

167 – Save (1)

On March 18th, the members belatedly heard the news that the extension had been cancelled.

On this day, less than a week until Saven’s concert, Mwave and Shock Entertainment officially announced the news of their disbandment.

[Project girl group Saven, this month without extension of activity (comprehensive)]

In other words, Saven’s concert was the last event held before disbandment.

Fans have clearly learned why Mwave’s parent company, LE, has taken an ambiguous attitude regarding the disbandment of Save, raising expectations for an extension.

An article was posted saying that there was a possibility of an extension if Gocheok Dome was sold out.

In addition to the concert venue goods shop, fan goods that were first sold online without a limited quantity, so-called MDs.

The news of Save’s official disbandment seems to have been intentionally announced after the concert refund deadline.

LE thoroughly viewed fans as money.

[There is still a possibility of extension, really]

[If you look at how he works, all I can say is that he is like a sick person]

[Can’t we just unify the companies…?]

[It must be hard for the kids…ㅠ I’m dying too]

[Honestly, I knew this day would come]

The fans, who were expressing various reactions, had no intention of staying still.

The fans, who had been talking about doing something, stayed up all day and issued a statement.

Request for each member’s agency, Mwave and LE to express their position.

Truck total attack, SNS total attack, Pex total attack.

Cancellation and refund of MD purchase currently in progress.

But of course, there was no plan for the disbandment to be reversed.

Because LE knew this, having experienced these incidents countless times.

Anyway, it is bound to cool down as time passes.

The world was full of issues.

Above all, LE had a very simple justification.

It was simply carried out as per the contract, reflecting the wishes of each agency.

The important thing was to deceive the fans itself, but it was to obscure the essence as if the intention to disband the agency was the problem.

And LE continued to take complete inaction, saying that it was not responsible for the disbandment at all.

LE’s avoidance of responsibility had a direct negative impact on the members.

[If you call it a boycott, the members will be hurt?]

-Then isn’t it more hurtful for fans who have been with us for almost 2 years to do nothing like a fanboy even when an article like that comes out 5 days before the concert?

[Content has been added to the statement]

– Derivative groups, re-debut of existing groups, expressions of intention to boycott solo activities, statements of support for the 7 members as one group, and strong requests for extensions from each agency.

It was a boycott declaration that if the members left Saven, they would not even support them.

Since LE wouldn’t be able to do anything anyway, the members were left hanging on.

And there are some gossips that come up through the community at the right time.

[Top East strongly opposed it]

-I heard this from an acquaintance who works at Shock Entertainment.

[To be honest, the three major companies probably didn’t mind the extension]

-There is a large talent pool in the first place, so even without it is enough ㅇㅇ

[Reason why Top East is influential]

-To be honest, Dohee has ridiculous qualifications for an idol, and Seoyoon would have debuted even if she had gone to the fourth generation. In other words, Top East cannot exist without these two. Also, it has been a long time since there was a girl group since Pastel Love, so it seems urgent.

The story is that the extension was canceled due to Top East.

[Exclusive) Saven disbands as planned due to conflicting positions from each agency]

And the official article said that there were divided opinions among agencies that increase trust.

Thanks to the planned muddying of LE, some vicious fans quickly became divided.

[Only Ye-eun and I became duck eggs from the Nakdong River]

-Top East is so stubborn about releasing a girl group hahahaha.

If the two go back to the sh*t, it will become ambiguous, but the members of the 3rd generation will not be able to fail because of the concrete fan base, and ugh…

Top East members are f*cking selfish.

[If they disband, I will support other members except Top East members]

-Don’t break my beliefs

└It was originally an agency that wasn’t my favorite;; I agree too

└Whether you support them or not, Top East kids will do well without them anyway.

└ㅋㅋ Even though Dohee is so busy making fan songs and working on songs so that we can meet at least once more, seeing these idiots makes me vomit.

This was even more effective because it was a fan base created through a survival program.

Of course, as if to refute these rumors, new rumors followed.

[Hana and Ye-eun are both discussing a transfer to JS]

-There is talk in JS that Hana and Ye-eun have made a buyout offer to the company.

If it happens, he will probably re-debut as a member of a girl group with Sarah.

[JS also had no intention of extending it]

-Well, how much money does JS make overseas, so why would she give up being a hot topic like Sera and form a new girl group? She said how much money she had to share with LE and Shock Entertainment. If it’s Sera, Hana, and Ye-eun, it’s a complete Save unit.

This is also an article intentionally posted by Top East as a refutation based on facts.

Fortunately, the content worked, and the controversy over expressing opposition to Top East was able to subside a little.

But the atmosphere has already become muddy.

What should have been a grand finale with Saven and Fan having a beautiful last time together seemed to have been ruined in the end.

* * *

“Would you like a drink?”

I brought my sister her favorite drink.

Seoyoon smiled slightly after receiving a drink that she had not drank before the stage due to nervousness.

“Do you remember the first time when I was acting crazy? At that time, Naeun unni was really nervous. It wasn’t me. But I guess I was feeling more and more pressured as time went on.”

I remember.

At first, Seoyoon was too busy teasing me and Naeun, and she wasn’t a nervous person.

“Try to be like me. There’s no reason to be nervous because the performance is perfect every time.”

“What is perfection? That’s your illusion.”

Seoyoon smiled.

“But today, strangely enough, I feel less nervous. Strangely.”

“It’s strange, Seoyoon, you’re passive.”

“Okay, go check the in-ears.”

“Yes~”

I nodded and looked around the waiting room for a moment.

Yesterday and the day before that.

A protest truck sent by fans drove by in front of the Shock Entertainment headquarters.

The news of our disbandment and LE’s atrocities made the front page of the entertainment department newspaper.

There were comments and malicious comments on my personal SNS saying that I would not come to see the concert.

There was also a comment saying that they would always support you until the end.

And still, we took the last behind-the-scenes photos, took photos to post on social media, packed in-ears and electronic devices, and refined our makeup and outfits.

It was still an everyday scene.

‘Do the fans still feel the same way?’

Even though I tried to be resolute, it was true that I felt anxious.

‘I’m no different.’

With my heart pounding, I left the waiting room hallway and headed outside where I could see the audience.

As I climbed over the temporary wall of the stage, I could see the audience behind me.

Gocheok Stadium was filled with an astronomical number of fans, nearly 20,000, to the point where there were barely any empty seats to be seen.

The cool breeze of early spring and all kinds of excited sounds echoed and lingered.

It was a sound that made me feel refreshed.

My heart continued to pound abnormally.

For some reason, tears came to my eyes.

I wiped away my tears for fear of being scolded by the makeup teacher and ran back to the waiting room with all my might.

Your hair won’t be damaged this much, right?

Then the hair teacher will scold you.

But it’s okay because it’s pretty even if it’s broken.

Anyway, I ran to the waiting room and needed something to calm my chaotic heartbeat.

As I burst into the waiting room, I was met with all the attention of the staff and members.

Something is missing, but sometimes, like now, emotions take over.

There was really no difference between me and the members.

Except I’m a little prettier.

“That… That! Do you want to say that slogan now?”

For some reason, I wanted to keep shouting that cringeworthy Saven slogan today.

* * *

The high school girl, who was a fan of Seven, twitched her fingers for no reason.

People around were filling up the seats, but it was definitely a strange atmosphere.

‘You should enjoy it.’

I promised myself not to come to the concert in order to forget Saven, but I had to give up that promise because I thought I would never see him again.

Are the people next to me like that too?

She took out her light stick from her bag and turned it on and off meaninglessly.

Underneath was a newly purchased key ring.

‘This is cheap… So there’s no point in refunding it.’

Even though I knew, I wanted to keep at least one last piece of memory.

She secretly held her key ring with her hand to hide it so that people around her would see it, but I thought she was suffocating because she was looking at the people next to her for no reason.

Fortunately, the concert hall finally became dark.

At the same time, the electronic display board emitted bright light.

Opening VCR started playing.

An English phrase that came to mind with the sound of firecrackers.

Saven’s theme for this concert.

Save days a week.

With Saven all week and every week.

I thought it meant that we will always be together in the future.

It wasn’t wrong.

‘Because it was something I would think of every week…’

In a way, it was also the last downloaded title.

Because it is more of a dream interpretation than a dream.

The high school girl had no time to worry about that and focused all of her attention on the VCR.

A city has emerged where the earth and sky are reversed.

Dohee was walking on a deserted road, and the members were scattered and walking lonely.

Feeling lonely and lonely.

Each member found something and ran to it.

And the members’ faces were split into 7 parts and captured on the screen.

When the symbol was touched, light burst out and the members appeared.

There was nothing special about the VCR.

The members who appeared instead.

When I saw the members smiling innocently and pointing at the fans in the audience, I couldn’t help but laugh along.

It’s definitely pretty and cute.

I couldn’t get angry.
