The audience’s gazes focused on this spot.
It was difficult to ignore the people staring at us from such a close distance, but we were managing to get through this interview fairly well.
“This is Flora’s official first debut stage. I heard you’ve prepared a very special stage today for Flora’s fans and Countdown viewers?”
“Yes, that’s right. For everyone who waited for our debut and is sharing Flora’s beginning with us, we’ve specially prepared a stage that can only be seen here on Countdown.”
“I’m really, really looking forward to it. Flora’s hot debut! You’ll be able to see the title song ‘Blooming’ and the B-side track ‘Famous Paintings’ in a bit. Could you give us a brief introduction to the title song ‘Blooming’?”
At Jae-hee’s question, Seo Ra-eun picked up the microphone.
“Yes, our Flora’s debut song ‘Blooming’ is a song that tells the story of girls who have overcome countless hardships and finally made their dreams bloom. It’s a song with a classic yet very unique and unforgettable melody that’s charming.”
Oh my, she did well.
“The choreography that blooms like flowers to match the theme of ‘Blooming’ is also very charming, so please pay attention to that part too!”
All the members from Han Da-min to Choi Song-i looked at Seo Ra-eun with satisfaction.
When Seo Ra-eun, who tends to get particularly nervous among the members, was assigned to introduce the most important song in the interview, how hard she had memorized those short sentences.
Worried she might forget or mispronounce something, she memorized it like song lyrics, and she delivered it perfectly.
“Yes, just from the introduction, it sounds like you’ll show us a very good stage that exceeds expectations.”
“Yes!”
Seo Ra-eun answered with a proud expression.
“Then could you show us a little taste of the point choreography for ‘Blooming’?”
“Of course!”
Han Da-min answered energetically and gestured to Min Ha-young.
Min Ha-young cheerfully ran forward and said.
“I’d like everyone to do it together.”
“Oh, yes yes.”
The MCs standing on both sides answered and followed Min Ha-young, bringing their hands neatly together in front.
Even Jae-hee, who had been so adamant about not wanting to do challenges or dancing when we met in the waiting room, was now focusing and following Min Ha-young’s movements as if she had never said that.
“Like this, make a flower bud with both hands, and at first, place it downward like it’s wilted. Your legs should be like this.”
Following Min Ha-young’s words, the members also made the same upside-down flower bud.
“Then pull your legs in while bringing the flower bud toward your heart, and as you move forward like that, make it bloom fully.”
“Ooh.”
The movements were so easy that even the two MCs could follow along smoothly in one try.
Actually, all the difficult choreography included in the chorus was removed at the request of Jae-hee’s side.
It’s a bit disappointing since the entire chorus choreography is the point choreography…
Jae-hee had struggled with dancing even during Sucream, but now she lives a life completely distant from dancing, so she says she can’t follow along if the difficulty goes up even a little here.
So what we decided to do for the progression was.
“Then shall we all try it together? Music please!”
Woo-jung from Street Center, who was the MC, shouted.
And Ha-young started the chorus choreography by herself.
“Woohoo!”
Woo-jung excitedly let out an exclamation.
The already complex choreography with many movements met Ha-young’s characteristically powerful dance lines and was presented very energetically and coolly.
MC Woo-jung, who was standing behind her, subtly followed those movements in quite detail.
It wasn’t the part we just taught, but he’s a member of the group who coincidentally joined us at the challenge spot earlier.
It seemed they remembered the choreography we had taught them for the challenge.
And at the end of the chorus, when the flower bud choreography came out, Jae-hee naturally joined in and danced along.
“Yes! That was really great to watch. Even though I only heard a bit, it’s so good that I want to hear the whole song quickly. Please look forward to Flora’s special debut stage.”
“Could Flora introduce the next stage for us?”
“Yes! We’ll introduce it. The next stage is!”
Han Da-min glanced at me.
Phew, the time has finally come.
I’m a bit excited. I’ve always wanted to try something like this someday.
I glanced at Min Ha-young. Min Ha-young looked at me with quite a determined expression and nodded.
I immediately picked up the microphone and said.
“My hands are cold!”
“Kong!”
Min Ha-young added her chant while jumping cutely.
“My feet are cold!”
“Kong!”
“Because of the winter wind!”
“Kong kong kong!”
“A breakup as cold as the winter wind, Seo Ga-eul’s 【Let’s Meet in Winter 10 Years Later】 and.”
As soon as the comment ended, Han Da-min who was standing next to me suddenly started dancing and singing.
“Oh, beautiful girl, gorgeous girl~”
It was a dance and song that was popular in the 70s.
Choi Song-i, who was watching this, smiled brightly and said.
“The legend has returned. We also have a stage prepared by Byeoksan, the ancestor of South Korean hip-hop, so shall we meet him right now?”
“Let’s meet him right now!”
With Jae-hee’s comment, the cameras turned back to the stage.
And immediately, the song by the singer Seo Ga-eul that we had just introduced began.
“Thank you for your hard work. Thank you.”
We quietly bowed and came down from the stage.
On the way down, I saw that the Filming Director was looking at us with a very satisfied expression.
Perhaps he liked the stage introduction we had done with determination at the end.
Anyway, one of the most important filming events was now over.
What remained was waiting for our pre-recorded segment to air and the ending.
A long waiting time was prepared, but that didn’t mean we could relax.
Greeting the Senior Artists while delivering albums, and more challenges.
There were mountains of things we had to do whenever we found an opportunity.

Spoiler-free Flora Countdown 【Bloom】 pre-recording review
1. Came back from a music show recording and was bedridden sick all day, barely managed to pull myself together… I’m really feeling it again – being a fan from the provinces is so rough. The older I get, the harder it becomes to stan…how is it that I’m bedridden for a whole day just from going to one music show recordingㅠ
2. Reverse Gift…yes…it’s already spread all over various communities, as expected
(Reverse Gift verification photo.JPG)
The fact that a newly debuting rookie is giving reverse gifts at this level doesn’t feel excessive, which must be because we know the company’s financial power and our princesses’ popularity…? hehe
But everyone, while all the communities are only talking about the price of the reverse gifts, that’s not what’s important.
What made us even happier was the meaning and care put into each and every gift ㅠ
They wrote long rolling paper letters with messages on all the photo cards too, and they even said the members personally picked out the gifts ㅠ They mentioned during pre-recording that things like perfume are what they actually use themselves! They really are the universe’s most devoted daughters
3. You can’t ignore experience – the kids were less nervous than expected. The fans were more nervous than the princesses, so Song-i teased us about it
4. Princess Jiye apparently lives for the fun of teasing Hayoung these days, and sure enough, she was constantly teasing her during filming too ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Our Hayoung’s reactions were so good that she looked quite delighted and happy
5. While talking about Prince Damin’s reverse attack, he was sweetly flirting with fans but got called out by Song Igoyeong for being cringy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
6. Damin was moved by our cheering method, then firmly told us to think about our throat condition – a singer telling her fans lol ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
7. The fans were so good at the fan chants that Songi got jealous and said “This is weird, it’s our first time but why do you guys look so experienced?” so the fans couldn’t say anything and just giggled…Sorry. But it’s also because we practiced really hard…haha
8. Ra-eun and Song-i, the old tree and cicada dynamic is still going strong.
9. Making eye contact with Ra-eun was seriously insane (positive) I thought only Da-min was good at flirting but Ra-eun is the real deal. She smiles whenever you make eye contact and I don’t think anyone could resist falling for that
10. Please definitely watch the broadcast for real…you can see visuals that survived the extreme production and sets that are on a different level from the showcase, and intense lighting. Please definitely watch it
After the pre-recording, reviews from fans who attended the venue began to be posted one after another.
Since Flora was receiving so much attention, reactions about things like reverse gifts had already been posted on various communities and became a hot topic long ago.
Since everyone who attended said the stage was worth looking forward to, fans’ expectations were fully inflated until the day of Countdown’s live broadcast.
And finally, the day of Countdown’s live broadcast.
Fans were watching the debut stage with the heart of parents sending a young child near water.
The interview that finished successfully without nervousness.
The next stage introduction that showed unexpected sides without being embarrassed.
No wayyyy lololololol how are you princesses so good at this too lolololololol I was so shocked watching this that I laughed so hard
(Flora Hot Debut interview next stage introduction part.avi)
Flora’s stage was scheduled later in the Hot Debut corner so they had to wait quite a while, but the waiting time wasn’t boring as SNS posts were constantly uploaded and fans shared their excitement with each other.
And shortly after, it was finally Flora’s turn for their debut stage.
It was around that time when other fans’ live commentary about Flora suddenly started appearing.
