The Chaebol’s Daughter Debuted
Episode 103
In fact, it was still growing.
In about 15 minutes, it would probably grow much more than it was now.
Why?
“Damn it, are there really that many idle people on Blue Bird…? Is it still trending on whatever that thing is called?”
At PD Do Myeong-gyun’s question, junior PD Gu Beom-tae let out a small sigh and said.
“Yes, senior. It’s still hanging at the bottom edge but it keeps trending and looks like it’ll climb higher.”
He’d asked the same thing several times already, so what was the point of asking again.
Real-time trends don’t change that quickly anyway.
“Does it make sense for something to hit real-time trends in just 15 minutes?”
“It’s FLORA. Whether good or bad, they’re a group that’s always a hot topic.”
What was so surprising about this.
Just looking at all the videos uploaded so far and the reactions on SNS and community sites, you could tell how hot the current interest in FLORA was.
Actually, until now it was unclear whether that interest was positive, negative, or just curiosity, but today made it crystal clear.
FLORA would probably receive much greater love than now as the broadcasts continued.
‘First of all, the fans’ unity is different.’
This was truly unexpected.
They were just a team that would disband after this broadcast ended, so how could such a group’s fan loyalty be this high?
Their firepower was actually better than the agency trainees who had been formed long ago and had communicated with fans, albeit minimally, through NeTube.
How did that make sense?
Writer Son Yeo-jin was puzzled by this incomprehensible phenomenon, while Start Plan’s main PD Do Myeong-gyun’s irritation shot up to his head.
Since they had won first place, he had to give them a reward, but giving additional points outright would draw SU’s attention, so he planned a benefit that went through the step of a live mission.
He never thought FLORA’s live broadcast would proceed this energetically.
To be precise, he knew they would draw all kinds of attention, but he didn’t expect the live broadcast atmosphere to be this good.
Honestly speaking, he thought FLORA would mess up this live broadcast.
He had notified them about the live broadcast right after the training camp started without giving them time to prepare, and since public opinion about FLORA was so bad, all the production staff expected malicious chat messages to flood in.
Even if they managed to fill the heart gauge, it was obvious that public opinion would definitely get worse.
Since they were awkward with this type of content and couldn’t proceed properly, it seemed difficult for the live broadcast to flow peacefully.
In fact, there were quite a few production staff who opposed FLORA’s live broadcast for that reason.
“Still, there are young kids among them, so that might be a bit much. We might get criticized for being cruel.”
“Right. Honestly, FLORA didn’t do anything wrong and they got good results because they worked hard, but this might feel like retaliation.”
“Public opinion might actually flip to feeling sorry for FLORA.”
It was a mission with many concerns, but Do Myeong-gyun decided to push through with it.
No matter what anyone said, his top priority was to prevent FLORA’s first place and make May Rookie win convincingly.
PD Do Myeong-gyun’s broadcasts were already famous for being mercilessly cruel to cast members, so what would change if he got more criticism.
What was certain was that once someone got caught up in controversy, it was hard to escape from it no matter what they said.
If they messed up the live broadcast, the fans’ soaring morale would drop, and the already bad public opinion would become even colder.
But why.
“Wow, look at that heart gauge rising. PD, they’re going to achieve that soon, right? It won’t even take 5 minutes.”
“Oh my, additional points are coming in.”
Son Yeo-jin said as if teasing him.
‘Ugh, what’s so important about that damn money that I made such a deal.’
One thing Do Myeong-gyun didn’t know was that groups with established fandoms actually become stronger when their artists are attacked over uncertain matters.
The first episode had shown a strong narrative, and members like Min Ha-young and Ryu Ji-ye had sufficiently demonstrated their star quality.
Fans who knew that survival shows sometimes included malicious editing wouldn’t turn away so easily.
Moreover, switching the atmosphere with animal pajamas at the beginning of the live broadcast was a stroke of genius.
“Those kids are lucky too.”
How did they happen to prepare pajamas today of all days.
Thanks to starting with animal pajamas and dancing instead of ordinary talk, SNS suddenly became buzzing and instantly led to this current situation.
It became the complete opposite of what PD Do Myeong-gyun intended.
-Huh? The heart gauge.
-Whoa, the heart gauge hit 100 percent?
-Everyone! The heart gauge is 100 percent! Waaah!!!!
-What’s good about reaching 100 percent? Hehe, it’s a secret.
Then FLORA suddenly became noisy.
About 5 minutes remained until the broadcast ended.
The members who had easily completed the heart gauge mission were cheering and celebrating.
“Oh my, they actually did it.”
Actually, the gauge bar value was set quite high to make it difficult to achieve.
It was FLORA’s complete victory.
Son Yeo-jin chuckled and looked down at Do Myeong-gyun. Irritation was building up all over his face.
‘Oh my, how much are those kids going to get cut up again.’
Looking at his reaction, it seemed like harsh editing was coming.
What kind of repercussions would this cause.
“Hmm…”
There was someone watching those two from behind.
‘Do Myeong-gyun is pissed off.’
Gu Beom-tae could see Do Myeong-gyun trembling even from a distance, so he quietly took out his mobile phone.
Then he sent a message to someone.

“Good work everyone!”
The live broadcast ended.
At first I was at a loss about how to drag out 30 minutes, but surprisingly the reaction was good so we could proceed enjoyably.
‘Toward the end I even felt regretful.’
Still, anyway we finished the broadcast smoothly and were able to complete the heart gauge mission without problems, so it was fortunate.
“FLORA, good work. It’ll take some time to pack up the equipment, so stop practicing and go back to the dormitory for a bit, we’ll call you.”
“Yes!”
We left the practice room, leaving behind the production staff who didn’t look happy even after we succeeded with the live broadcast.
“The reaction wasn’t bad, right? I was really nervous!”
“The pajamas Ra-eun brought were really a stroke of genius. Ra-eun, thank you.”
“Oh, not at all.”
While Seo Ra-eun waved her hands dismissively, Choi Song-i stared intently at Han Da-min.
“But unnie, why do you keep subtly trying to take off your hat?”
“Huh, what?”
Han Da-min shut her mouth in confusion.
In fact, Han Da-min had been subtly trying to take off her tiger ear hat throughout the broadcast.
She seemed to be quietly embarrassed about it.
“That’s not it…”
Han Da-min was about to explain with an awkward expression when—
“Wow, you really want to win, don’t you.”
A clear voice came from somewhere.
At the obviously sarcastic tone, the members stopped talking and turned their heads.
May Rookie was sitting on the lobby sofa, snickering as they looked at us in our animal pajamas.
