The Chaebol’s Daughter Debuted

 

Episode 151

 

What did I just hear?

 

An explanation? Seo Ra-eun’s explanation?

 

I felt dizzy, as if I’d been hit hard on the back of my head.

 

What is Seo Ra-eun supposed to explain? Even if the rumors were true—and they are true—why are they demanding an explanation from the victim?

 

Does that reporter even know what he’s saying right now?

 

If his earlier question touched Han Da-min’s reverse scale, this time he touched Seo Ra-eun’s trauma.

 

This was something that tormented Seo Ra-eun for nearly half a year, and she still doesn’t know how to skillfully handle such unexpected questions.

 

But since he specifically asked Seo Ra-eun, it would be awkward for me to suddenly step in.

 

I was about to unconsciously turn my head toward Kim Gyeong-yun, the host.

 

“Well.”

 

Han Da-min, the leader, naturally answered the question.

 

“It’s completely unrelated to us. I don’t think Ra-eun has anything to explain.”

 

Han Da-min said this while placing her hand on Seo Ra-eun’s slightly stiffened shoulder.

 

Only then did Seo Ra-eun relax her tense body and quietly nod.

 

“That’s right.”

 

Before the atmosphere could become more awkward, host Kim Gyeong-yun hurriedly spoke.

 

“She says it’s unrelated to Ra-eun. Yes. Since today is FLORA’s debut showcase, please limit your questions to the album and the members. Now, let’s move on to another reporter’s question…”

 

“Is it true that Hong Jin invested in Day Entertainment?”

 

“…”

 

Kim Gyeong-yun’s eyes trembled.

 

Just as she was about to pass the question to another reporter, the problematic reporter relentlessly fired off his next question without getting tired.

 

“What are you saying! Stop it!”

 

“Are you crazy!”

 

“Get lost, you trash reporter!”

 

Finally unable to bear the excessive questions, fans started shouting, and the reporters in the press section also glared at him with irritated faces.

 

“Come on, be reasonable! Did you come here to conduct a solo interview!”

 

“Pass the microphone quickly! We don’t have much time as it is.”

 

“He’s asking all the questions by himself! And such strange ones too!”

 

Even from fellow reporters’ perspective, that reporter’s questions were definitely very strange.

 

‘A Sub Quest might appear.’

 

Right, it’s not easy for such chaos to break out at a debut showcase.

 

Anyway, that last question about Hong Jin was directed at me, right?

 

I lightly raised the corners of my mouth and said.

 

“As far as I know, Hong Jin has absolutely nothing to do with our company. Besides, we FLORA members only focus on preparing our album and don’t know much about entertainment agency operations.”

 

So instead of stuff like this, just ask about the album.

 

No matter how much I’m the all-powerful daughter of Hong Jin, I shouldn’t threaten or get angry at a reporter in front of the general public.

 

Some people might acknowledge that I said what needed to be said to a rude reporter, but most would probably not look favorably on responding emotionally in an immature way.

 

As the Sub Quest said, the perfect answer in this situation would be to give the most standard response possible with a completely unaffected expression.

 

“I think it would be faster if you contacted Day Entertainment or Hong Jin directly!”

 

To make sure the reporter who threw that question with some ulterior motive couldn’t even break even.

 

I spoke politely, but in the end I was just saying ‘I’m not really sure?’ in a roundabout way.

 

Then, as expected, the problematic reporter frowned deeply as if displeased and passed the microphone without even wrapping up his question.

 

“…Yes, then let’s hear the next reporter’s question.”

 

Kim Gyeong-yun, who had been frozen from how absurd it was, deliberately swallowed and spoke as if nothing had happened.

 

“Please keep your questions related to the album.”

 

After that, safe questions continued.

 

Occasionally there were questions that fans would be curious about, like how dormitory life was, which we answered excitedly.

 

Probably because that reporter had asked such a harsh question and made the venue atmosphere tense, the other reporters didn’t ask any strange questions.

 

And so the reporters’ question time also came to an end.

 

“Yes, that concludes our Q&A session. And lastly! Oh my, our FLORA members have prepared so much!”

 

Kim Gyeong-yun, who had somehow returned to her earlier high energy, spoke playfully.

 

Meanwhile, we went back into the darkness and took our positions.

 

Now it was the showcase’s final segment, the last stage.

 

“Thank you so much to everyone who came to FLORA’s showcase today. I sincerely hope that FLORA will always walk on a path of flowers. I, Kim Gyeong-yun, will step back after introducing the last stage.”

 

Kim Gyeong-yun gave her final greeting to the audience and shouted.

 

“This is the last track from FLORA’s album, right? Let’s all listen to 【Reunion】 together.”

 

As soon as her words ended, light came onto the darkened stage and soon the sound of a wistful synthesizer echoed through the air.

 

***

 

-FLORA showcase last song Reunion…reunion…by the way, the composer of this song is the same one who composed Horizon, the first song FLORA sang at Start Plan…I’m crying

 

⌎Crazy…this album is really GOAT, the songs are good but it’s also great how every track is filled with meaningful emotions that make you cry

 

Listening to the song, you could understand what mindset FLORA had while preparing this album.

 

FLORA had made this album to meet their fans once again.

 

The fandom atmosphere, which had become rough from the live coverage and the reporter’s misconduct, instantly began turning into a sea of tears.

 

-The song’s atmosphere also has that Start Plan feeling somehow, which makes my heart ache even more…

 

Today’s showcase was truly perfect.

 

The members showcased their songs with flawless live performance skills, handled the reporters’ questions skillfully, and appropriately drew out fan responses.

 

If it weren’t for that rude reporter, I would have suspected it was a small fan meeting rather than a showcase.

 

The place buzzing about FLORA’s showcase wasn’t just FLORA’s fandom alone.

 

[Anyone see FLORA’s showcase today?]

 

It was really good though?

 

It’s been so long since I’ve seen idols do a showcase all live

 

(Read 2678 comments)

 

⌎What’s with the number of comments lololol Were all the people on this forum FLORA fans?~

 

⌎For real lol All the songs were good too, you can feel they prepared really hard

 

⌎Since they’re from a survival show, their skills seem good

 

⌎It was a group I didn’t think much about when watching the survival show, but after seeing the showcase I’m really in danger… Who decided on the famous paintings concept, it’s so my taste

 

⌎?? Why are there only compliments here? Are they all paid commenters… Other idols all do live performances too

 

⌎We compliment because it’s worth complimenting… You can’t stand seeing others get praised so you call everything paid comments

 

⌎The venue atmosphere was really crazy, everyone couldn’t even cheer and just went “wow… wow…” lololol

 

⌎Praise the ‘experienced rookie idols’

 

[[Breaking News] Day Entertainment reportedly did not receive Hong Jin investment…]

 

Crazy reporter asked directly and got immediately shut down

 

Hong Jin never invested and if you’re curious, ask the company directly, they said

 

⌎Lololololol So funny, the guy who asked that directly at the showcase was funny and the kid who casually shut him down was funny too lol

 

⌎As expected of a chaebol, I guess she can shut down reporters… scary…

 

⌎Yeah if it was an ordinary small company idol, they would’ve run away crying

 

⌎But wasn’t Hong Jin the one who invested? For something like that, the MV and songs were fucking high quality

 

⌎The CEO is Kim Ja-in from MN, the person who discovered Rena. Even without Hong Jin, there are probably many places to get investment

 

⌎Lolol That reporter who asked has quite a record, if you look at reporters who got called rude at girl group showcases, it’s all that person

 

⌎Wow Day Entertainment is already failing, did they really have to invite that kind of reporter? At that level, they probably got on the blacklist among agencies

 

⌎Where can I watch the showcase? What kind of stupid question did they ask?

 

[Summary of today’s FLORA showcase reporter controversy]

 

Many people were curious about what happened at today’s FLORA showcase so I watched the full video and came back

 

To summarize, the showcase had a really harmonious atmosphere…

 

Recently there’s been a lot of public opinion to support FLORA, and maybe they got prior agreement because the reporters didn’t talk about the survival show and only asked questions about the album or members.

 

But one reporter suddenly hogged the microphone and asked sensitive questions? You know those kinds, gathering all the rumors floating around and asking the members about them

 

1. Asked Han Da-min what the Rosetta members’ reaction was to her re-debut

 

: Rosetta, Han Da-min’s former group, has rumors of disbanding due to internal conflict. Seems like they asked knowing this to probe.

 

But Han Da-min handled it really well. Just smiled and said she contacted everyone yesterday and they’re cheering her on. Seems like the Rosetta conflict rumors were resolved in one shot?

 

2. Asked Seo Ra-eun to clarify rumors with Ji-hoon

 

: ??? right?

 

Seo Ra-eun seemed unaware of these rumors too, it was completely out of nowhere and rude.

 

Even if it were true, why should the victim have to clarify? Reporter, you clarify please. Leader Han Da-min and the host cut this off too.

 

And thinking this wouldn’t work, the host tried to pass the microphone to another reporter but…

 

3. Asked Ryu Ji-ye if it’s true that Hong Jin invested in Day Entertainment

 

: Ryu Ji-ye with a slightly annoyed face said they never invested and if you’re curious, ask the company directly!

 

Anyway after that the atmosphere got really tense, fans cursed, reporters got annoyed and it was chaos, so they finally passed the microphone.

 

(Reading comments)

 

⌎Ryu Ji-ye getting annoyed is funny lol Ah, you shouldn’t touch the parents, reporter sir…

 

⌎Actually it wasn’t really sharp and her annoyance didn’t show much. She just said it with a smile but the words had thorns with steel reinforcement

 

⌎Chaebols are scary ㅠ

 

⌎ㅋㅋㅋㅋ That reporter better watch their back for a while ㅋㅋㅋ

 

⌎I wasn’t watching because the full video was long, but thanks for the summary. Looking at it this way, it really was harsh

 

⌎I don’t know about other things, but what was that reporter thinking when he asked Seo Ra-eun that?

 

⌎The fandom went crazy and they already dug up the reporter’s personal information

 

⌎Hey, take responsibility. I got curious because of you and went to watch, then ended up becoming a fan of FLORA

 

⌎ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ But they are really good though, great visuals and it’s rare to find a group with live vocals that sound so powerful like that

 

⌎That song was good, added it to my playlist

 

The controversial reporter’s question and videos of each stage performance began circulating with the caption [Already perfected live performances from debut].

 

Even before appearing on music shows, interest in FLORA and fandom influx began to increase explosively.
