The Chaebol’s Daughter Debuted
Episode 143
Since this was Flora’s first official music video and even we who filmed it had so many CG parts that we couldn’t tell what it would look like.
All the members kept asking the manager whenever they had time about when the music video would be released.
“We’re also seeing this for the first time today, so we’re both excited and nervous.”
“Right. I’ve been waiting so long for this.”
“Should we watch it first and then talk about it?”
“Yes! Oh, but before we play it, please look at the thumbnail. Our baby.”
Min Ha-young pointed at the thumbnail on the screen.
“Song-i!”
“Wow~ She’s so cute? Look at that pouty expression. I want to pinch her cheeks.”
“Why would you pinch my cheeks…”
Choi Song-i said bluntly with her face turning red from the members’ gushing.
Our Song-i acts like she’d be calm no matter what happens, but she doesn’t know what to do with compliments about herself.
But she really was cute.
Song-i with braided hair looking at the night scenery outside the window in the thumbnail had the same atmosphere as an emotional city pop poster you’d see in a prop shop.
Han Da-min thoroughly doted on the embarrassed Choi Song-i before finally calming down and saying.
“Yes, ahem. Anyway, our Song-i decorated the thumbnail beautifully.”
“Why is Song-i the thumbnail?”
When I said this cheekily, Han Da-min immediately made a cheesy expression and winked at the camera.
“That’s right~ Why did our Song-i become the thumbnail? The reason is! Let’s watch first!”
“Waaaah!”
They really were members who worked well together.
“Play!”
Min Ha-young pressed the play button. After a brief loading, the music video started immediately.
***
The music video started with darkness from the beginning.
The sound of an airplane passing by.
Late evening where the lights of tall high-rise buildings were brightly lit, replacing the stars.
Inside a small house somewhere in the city, Choi Song-i was looking outside the window.
All that could be heard were the sounds of cars passing on the road, people’s voices, and the clinking sound of ice melting in a glass cup placed on the table.
Choi Song-i looked outside with an unreadable expression for a long time before turning her head to look at the book spread out in front of her.
“Yes, it’s so dark that she wouldn’t be able to see the book, right?”
“What the heck!”
Min Ha-young made a joke as if she’d been waiting for it.
Although it broke our concentration for a moment, we were soon able to immerse ourselves back into the music video thanks to the movingly beautiful CG spectacle.
Strange cracks visible outside the window, with the Milky Way embroidered within them.
Rustle- Rustle-
Choi Song-i turned the pages of her book with a languid expression.
The screen frequently switched to show various pictures throughout Song-i’s house.
A cyberpunk poster stuck on the wall, a small picture frame of a castle landscape on the dresser, and a rocket pendant containing a portrait of someone with a blurred face.
And finally, the folk paintings in the book that Choi Song-i was looking at.
“It’s showing a lot of very diverse things. What could all that be?”
“The video is really pretty. It’s like watching a movie.”
“Pictures of very diverse genres are appearing.”
The intro video was quite long. While the members were commenting on notable points of the video one by one.
The screen moved dizzily and then showed the folk paintings Song-i was looking at, quickly zooming in.
“Ugh, what’s that.”
The moment I closed and opened my eyes, frowning at the slightly dizzying view.
The screen turned completely white as if entering a virtual space, then showed another landscape.
A flower field with clear sunlight. A young lady in light pink hanbok walking along a stone wall path blooming with pink flowers.
“Oh my, oh my, who is that pretty young lady!”
“Who could it be~ Who, …Ra-eun unnie, are you crying?”
It was Seo Ra-eun with a smile as bright as flowers.
‘What kind of visual beauty is this…’
While I was watching without being able to comment, captivated by Seo Ra-eun’s beauty, the song finally started.
“Waaaah!”
The members started screaming with excitement.
Starting with Seo Ra-eun, the screen quickly switched to show Choi Song-i’s room and each member in the various pictures without missing anyone.
And finally, when Han Da-min’s figure with a sword stuck in the ground inside a dark castle was shown in close-up.
Moonlight to the sunset
This is be out of the ordinary
Could this be such a meeting
Han Da-min sang while leaving the sword and walking out through a long corridor.
Color began to gradually return to the screen that had been somewhat sepia-toned.
The gloomy and dark atmosphere quickly began changing to a bright and cheerful mood.
“Wow, look how cool Da-min unnie is. I almost fell for her.”
“There’s quite an image difference from the real Da-min unnie.”
Min Ha-young and Choi Song-i took turns teasing, but Han Da-min just smiled without taking her eyes off the screen.
Normally she would have immediately countered with jokes, but she was seriously monitoring only the music video.
Naturally, the members’ attention also turned back to the music video.
An experienced professional really was different. From her expression to her walking, and her gestures and eye contact – everything was so stable, skilled, and cool.
It was clearly a fantasy world, but she in the video looked like a successful career woman.
“Really cool.”
“Her voice tone is so good…”
Despite the members’ compliments, Han Da-min, who had been watching only her appearance in the music video, finally regained her comfortable smile only after confirming that her scene was perfectly completed.
After Han Da-min’s part ended, the screen immediately passed through some unknown light tunnel and instantly changed back to the Joseon era.
“Oh, the genre keeps changing drastically. Haha.”
The next part was Seo Ra-eun.
Seo Ra-eun, who had been counting the petals of a broken branch, continued the next part while only turning her gaze toward the camera.
Tell me
That this meeting is special
Steps heading toward you
ra- tata- ra-
This time the screen switched immediately.
Min Ha-young was running somewhere in sync with Seo Ra-eun’s singing that sounded like footsteps – ra-ta-ta.
A dark gray city, flying cars and messy electric wires, a world sparkling with exotic lighting.
Min Ha-young was being chased by someone while dressed like some kind of secret agent.
But her expression looked very happy and refreshing.
Min Ha-young cheerfully running at full speed and someone in sunglasses seriously chasing her.
Amidst this incredible visual beauty, it felt like watching a brief B-movie or sitcom.
“Ha! That was really fun to film. Can I tell you a secret?”
“What is it?”
“That was actually filmed running at full speed on a treadmill! It looks like she’s running powerfully, but it’s the behind-the-scenes story of doing an intense run in place with the actors chasing from behind. I thought I was going to die trying not to laugh with the actors.”
“Running in place? For something like that, it was filmed quite realistically though?”
“Hehe, I do put on quite a performance.”
I watched Min Ha-young’s boastfulness and casually threw out a comment.
“We should also tell the fans someday about the behind-the-scenes story of that pretty hair.”
“Ahhh! That’s not allowed!”
“The curly hair was…”
“Ryu Ji-ye, stop!”
“There’s even a video of that…”
“Ahh!”
Min Ha-young hurriedly covered my mouth with both hands.
Meanwhile, Min Ha-young’s brief rap part ended and the screen switched again to show the castle scenery.
Musical instruments began to gradually join the song that had been flowing leisurely like easy listening music.
The sound of numerous string instruments.
The song suddenly changed atmosphere and began creating a more unique melody.
The atmosphere was different from where Han Da-min had been.
A long corridor with statues lined up on both sides, and at the end, a person sitting on the throne.
It was me.
“Ooh! It’s the princess!”
“With the tiara on, she really looks like a princess.”
“Wow, where is that place? Is it a set studio? That’s incredible.”
Amidst the members’ gushing compliments, the killing part of this song flowed out.
If you listen closely
You can hear the sound of my heart
My happy voice
You’ll be able to hear it
The voice connecting falsetto and chest voice mixed with string instruments to give a unique feeling – this is my favorite part of mine.
And matching that, the statues on both sides each took out their instruments and began playing along with the song.
“…Huh?”
“What, how do they do that?”
“No way! Why are the statues playing music! Ji-ye, did you know about this?”
“Not at all.”
I never expected the statues to play with such absorbed expressions. Starting with Min Ha-young’s scene earlier, this was a music video with strangely funny points.
And finally the song entered the chorus.
The screen that had been illuminating all the members in the painting seemed to get sucked somewhere, then showed Choi Song-i’s appearance again.
