The Chaebol’s Daughter Debuted

 

Episode 150

 

Kim Gyeong-yun asked questions strictly according to the questionnaire she had received in advance without any major ad-libs, and led the atmosphere so that fans could respond enthusiastically.

 

I could see why she had the nickname of being a host specialized in idol events.

 

“Now, let’s stop the questions here. We’re about to move on to the next part. Fans, you can look forward to this. Flora didn’t just prepare the title song!”

 

Fans cheered at Kim Gyeong-yun’s words.

 

Soon Staff Members came up on stage and took away the chairs we had been sitting on, and we formed our formation again.

 

Kim Gyeong-yun said.

 

“We can’t not listen to the B-side tracks! Everyone, are you ready to listen!”

 

At her words, fans shouted “Yessss!” so loudly the venue seemed like it would explode.

 

Then Kim Gyeong-yun asked us, who had already finished preparing for the stage in the blackout.

 

“Is Flora ready too!”

 

“…Yessss!”

 

When the Members shouted a beat late, copying the fans, laughter could be heard from the Audience Seats.

 

And Kim Gyeong-yun introduced the songs.

 

“Then let’s listen to the B-side tracks ‘Famous Paintings’ and ‘Horizon’ consecutively right away!”

 

The stage performance started immediately.

 

‘Famous Paintings’, a dance song that seemed to greatly develop the classical elements from the title song ‘Blooming’.

 

Next was ‘Horizon’, a ballad with a hopeful and overwhelming atmosphere.

 

It was a song with the message that dreams eventually came true after crossing beyond the end of the horizon, that it was good not to give up.

 

Fortunately, we were able to present the following B-side tracks without any mistakes as well.

 

I wouldn’t know if it looked perfect until I did the monitoring, but at least the Audience’s reaction was very good.

 

“You’ve listened to the B-side tracks. Everyone, how was it! It was so good, right!”

 

After about ten minutes of stage performance ended, Kim Gyeong-yun, who had briefly left the stage, reappeared and asked the fans.

 

While we caught our breath sitting on the chairs that had been brought back in, we could hear the voices of the excited fans.

 

And at the same time, the Press Section that had been quietly filming began to murmur.

 

The next part was Q&A time with the Reporters.

 

It was the part we had prepared for the second longest after song practice, but nevertheless it was the most unpredictable and nerve-wracking turn.

 

“Those were the B-side tracks ‘Famous Paintings’ and ‘Horizon’. The songs are really so good. You don’t know how much I admired them while watching from behind. Wow, good. So good, I was saying. Haha, I should put them on my playlist right away too.”

 

“Thank you.”

 

“I’m the one who should be grateful for letting me hear such good songs.”

 

Kim Gyeong-yun praised with what sounded somewhat like flattery and turned the Cue Sheet.

 

“Then next, I understand that the General Public’s interest in Flora’s debut is quite significant.”

 

“Thankfully so.”

 

“If you look in front now, really many Reporters have come to spotlight Flora’s debut.”

 

Kim Gyeong-yun pointed to the Press Section.

 

Literally, even more Reporters than expected were positioned there.

 

“This time we’re going to have a Q&A session about the Album and Flora’s debut with the Reporters who came here.”

 

As soon as Kim Gyeong-yun spoke, one of the Reporters picked up the microphone.

 

There were many people and not much time, so we had decided to take questions flexibly on site.

 

It seemed the Reporters had already decided the order of questions among themselves while we were performing on stage.

 

“Yes, this is Reporter Kim Ju-won from Gogi Newspaper. I heard that the preparation period from Flora’s reformation to debut was relatively short, about half a year.”

 

“Yes, that’s correct.”

 

Han Da-min answered quickly.

 

“Could you tell us how Flora’s reformation came about and what your first impression of the title song ‘Blooming’ was?”

 

“Flora’s reformation was led by CEO Kim Ja-in of our agency, Day Entertainment. Of course, Start Plan and U-Net also made efforts to help us a lot…”

 

As the Leader who had to communicate most with the Reporters, she had been worrying a lot for the past few days, but when it came to the actual situation, she did skillfully well.

 

The mention that Start Plan and U-Net helped was a bit annoying though.

 

Those words weren’t something Han Da-min said voluntarily, but were Kim Ja-in’s instructions.

 

U-Net had negotiated detailed support details to provide massive global marketing support as compensation.

 

The reason was that to make U-Net actively help us, it would look better to show that we were officially collaborating.

 

U-Net had also pleaded for us to just say one word in front of the Reporters that they were helping us well.

 

“And what was your first impression of ‘Blooming’, Members?”

 

Han Da-min, who had been continuing her answer smoothly, looked at the Members.

 

Although she looked at all the Members, I reflexively took the microphone.

 

Because this song was chosen by Kim Ja-in and me.

 

The Members also naturally expected me to take it, glanced at me briefly, then immediately turned their gaze forward.

 

Click, click!

 

I had only picked up the microphone, but for some reason the camera shutter sounds began to be heard twice as much.

 

“When I first heard ‘Blooming’, I thought it was a song with a really unique flow. It seemed like easy listening at first glance, but also classical, and then it would become like addictive hip-hop too.”

 

Right. It was like that. The Members chimed in agreement without taking the microphone.

 

“I thought if this song was the title track, it would be really good, that Flora’s unique image would be well expressed. Plus, the title happened to be ‘Blooming’.”

 

This song’s title was ‘Blooming’ from the beginning. I really liked that, so I had suggested not to change it.

 

“Our Flora’s name also means ‘blooming’. So I thought, ah, this is fate. This song must be the title track.”

 

When I finished speaking, several Members added their answers with Kim Gyeong-yun’s hosting, wrapping up the first Q&A.

 

After that, the Reporters took turns continuing with questions.

 

What each member’s favorite song from the Album was.

 

How the relationship with CEO Kim Ja-in began and why they chose Day Entertainment as Flora’s agency, etc.

 

The Q&A time continued more harmoniously and peacefully than expected.

 

The Members, who were a bit nervous at first, gradually became able to answer comfortably since only questions from the expected questionnaire came out.

 

‘Hmm, if we continue like this, it’ll be fine.’

 

There was still one person left, the order of the Reporter we needed to be careful of.

 

But the questions from other Reporters were rather more favorable than other singers’ showcases, I thought.

 

Probably thanks to the fact that Flora being victims of the manipulation incident spread and formed a largely supportive public opinion.

 

Among them, there would be those who were being mindful of a certain chaebol family standing firmly behind Flora.

 

Well, I could handle that Reporter’s question according to the Sub Quest.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

That very Reporter took the microphone and spoke bluntly without even revealing his affiliation.

 

“I’d like to ask Leader Han Da-min.”

 

…Huh, ah, a directed question. I didn’t think of this.

 

But if it’s Han Da-min, well, she would skillfully answer most questions.

 

Even though no question had come out of his mouth yet, the Audition Hall began to stir greatly.

 

Because his tone was very high-handed, like someone interrogating a criminal.

 

“Yes.”

 

Han Da-min flinched for a moment but answered calmly.

 

Then the Reporter said.

 

“I understand this is Han Da-min’s second debut, so how did the Rosetta Members from your previous group react to Flora’s debut?”

 

“…”

 

The murmuring in the Audition Hall grew louder. In contrast, the Members froze more than ever.

 

That was definitely bringing up the rumor that the cause of Rosetta’s disbandment was discord, which was being treated as an established fact. Even though he clearly knew it was a sensitive topic for Han Da-min.

 

What is that person saying.

 

At the unreasonably rude question, my mind went blank for a moment.

 

In a way, he had touched Han Da-min’s reverse scale.

 

With an anxious heart, I looked back at her…

 

‘Ah.’

 

Han Da-min was smiling. Then she said nonchalantly.

 

“I exchanged messages with the Rosetta Members last night. As if they had planned it, they all contacted me one by one.”

 

Ah, the member answering was Han Da-min, right.

 

The rudeness was just unpleasant, but she was a member I didn’t need to worry about.

 

Han Da-min seemed intent on clarifying even the discord rumors while she was at it, freely sharing stories about the Rosetta members.

 

“They said they enjoyed the music video too. Since we’re friends who endured difficult times together, they genuinely cheered us on, saying they hoped things would go well for us.”

 

Just as I feel when I think about Choux Cream, Han Da-min finished talking about Rosetta with a touch of affection.

 

It was an answer that naturally warmed the heart. However, the reporter tilted his head as if it wasn’t the reaction he wanted and said.

 

“Next question. I’d like to ask Seo Ra-eun something. There are rumors circulating as if they were true that Seo Ra-eun is the trainee who had contact with Ji-hoon, and it’s becoming controversial.”

 

“….”

 

Has he really lost his mind?

 

There are things you can and can’t say at a showcase.

 

Reporter Choi Gyo-young, at this point shouldn’t we put you on the invitation ban list rather than just a warning?

 

For a question like this, there was no need to hide my expression.

 

My hardened face was completely exposed.

 

The members likewise looked at either Seo Ra-eun or the reporter with similarly cold expressions.

 

However, the reporter spoke as if he was accustomed to this chilly atmosphere.

 

“I think we need Seo Ra-eun’s clarification on this matter.”
