The Chaebol’s Daughter Has Debuted

Chapter 207

At some point, the color of the stage lighting had changed.

A pure white spotlight that seemed to express the coolness of dawn gradually widened and filled the entire stage.

The prelude to “Horizon” that accompanied it was, how should I put it.

Even Choi Gyo-young, who had never felt much interest in music and performances, felt a strange surge of emotion as if he had reached the highlight of a musical film.

Perhaps it was because the fans’ cheers that accompanied the prelude were louder than ever before.

The Flora members on stage smiled brightly as if they had expected this reaction, looking out at the audience.

Then they began their choreography with vigor.

“Ah.”

It was choreography he had seen before.

Choi Gyo-young belatedly realized that “Horizon” was the first Flora stage he had ever watched on video.

The dresses that spread beautifully with each dance move.

Skills and stage quality that had improved much more than when he had seen them in previous videos.

But what captured the fans’ attention most of all was the hopeful appearance of the Flora members shown through the electronic display board.

Orange color embroidering the sky

Ra ta ta-

Your lyrics written like sunset

The Flora members’ visuals were beyond words, but more than that, their happy expressions.

Their joyful and delightful energy made viewers feel their hearts lift.

Choi Gyo-young unconsciously turned his gaze toward Ryu Ji-ye.

Among the five members, the one who drew the most attention was definitely her.

Even Choi Gyo-young, who was sick and tired of Ryu Ji-ye, found his gaze naturally fixed on her on stage.

She was truly worthy of being the member who enjoyed the most views and popularity on Start Plan.

Ryu Ji-ye on stage was awkwardly idol-like.

Of course, she was an idol, but honestly, in Choi Gyo-young’s mind, the image of a chaebol’s daughter who did idol work as a hobby was stronger.

But now, he couldn’t think of chaebols or anything like that at all.

Like it spread across the horizon

Will you accept my heart

A smile that made you cheer every time it appeared on screen with a bright grin.

A presence that didn’t lose at all to main dancer Min Ha-young and experienced Han Da-min.

Elegant yet powerful dance lines and stable vocal ability.

The words that broadcasting officials sometimes said when seeing talented celebrities naturally circled in his head.

‘If someone like that doesn’t do idol work, who will?’

For the first time, he understood why she was popular.

No wonder her family supported her idol activities.

Choi Gyo-young chuckled and captured Flora and Ryu Ji-ye on camera again.

It was quite pleasant to know that the idol member who had become his ally wasn’t just an empty shell but actually had skills.

And shortly after, the “Horizon” stage also came to an end.

“Haha…”

Laughter that sounded like breathing could be heard from the stage.

The Flora members seemed tired and panted heavily for a while before slowly gathering in the center of the stage.

“Wow, that was a bit tough. Everyone, just a moment. Let me drink some water.”

“It wasn’t like this during practice, but your voices were so good.”

“Right, the energy really hit me. So I danced really hard without realizing it.”

The members hurriedly drank water and caught their breath.

“Yes, anyway, the “Horizon” stage has ended like this. “Horizon” was a really special stage for us too, wasn’t it.”

“That’s right. I remember when we first decided to compete with “Horizon,” all the members thought really hard together about how we could show our Flora to the viewers better.”

“Right. What if we’re weaker than other groups? We had just come together as a team, and honestly, it was really awkward between us too.”

“We were really anxious.”

“But more people than expected really liked it, and even afterward, fans often picked it as the most memorable stage, so we were really happy and grateful.”

“How did it look to you all?”

Flora passed the microphone to the audience.

“It was great!!!!”

At the fans’ shouts, Flora smiled brightly and said.

“We’re so happy that you liked it!”

That’s when it happened.

“But you know, everyone.”

Min Ha-young tensed the area around her eyes, calmed the atmosphere, and spoke in a meaningful tone.

“We’ve already done three songs, but wouldn’t it be too disappointing if it ended like this?”

As soon as she finished speaking, the audience seats became noisy.

Various words were mixed together so it wasn’t clearly audible, but they seemed to be talking about a ‘joint stage.’

The Flora members laughed with surprised faces.

“How do you all know right away?”

“I wanted to make a more impactful introduction.”

“Ha-young, it’s because you were building up suspense too much when you spoke.”

Flora awkwardly teased Min Ha-young.

“Again, it’s my fault?”

Min Ha-young, already accustomed to the members’ teasing, just giggled and said.

“That’s right. Everyone, next you can look forward to something very, very! …worth anticipating!”

“She messed up her comment.”

At Ryu Ji-ye’s sharp retort, laughter burst out from the audience seats.

“Ugh! Anyway, that kind of stage is prepared!”

“Haha, let’s see!”

The members laughed cheerfully and took the red-faced Min Ha-young down from the stage.

During Start Plan, there was still some awkward atmosphere remaining until the end. Now they looked clearly different, intimate with each other.

It was when the audience was unconsciously smiling warmly at that sight.

The stage went dark and a VCR played once again.

‘Hm?’

Elegant classical music flowed from the VCR.

And as the black screen brightened, a figure gradually appeared.

[Flora?]

U&Da’s leader Young Il-lin elegantly held a teacup with her legs crossed.

[They were the best rivals.]

An atmosphere with an obviously excessive concept.

Laughter could be heard from various parts of the audience seats.

Young Il-lin smiled softly and made a gesture as if recalling memories from the very distant past.

[I vividly remember when I first met the Flora members.]

The acting tone dropped a bit from Young Il-lin’s voice.

[I was really nervous. Wow, they were individual trainees, but we came from a company where we received lessons and practiced sufficiently with full preparation, yet it seemed like the friends without an agency were better than us.]

Of course, one of them was already a debuted senior and most of them were a group with broadcasting experience.

Nevertheless, the shock of seeing the team called Flora and its members for the first time.

This was something experienced not only by U&Da but also by other performers and viewers.

[At first, I was really wary. If they’re good, we might easily lose. With that kind of mindset… But as time passed, my thoughts changed.]

“…”

[I really wanted to sing together with them. If I stood on the same stage as such skilled friends, wouldn’t there be a lot to learn? I think that’s what I thought.]

Choi Gyo-young thought of Ryu Ji-ye while listening to Young Il-lin’s words.

Come to think of it, Ryu Ji-ye had said similar things about U&Da.

That she wanted to be on the same team as U&Da during Start Plan.

[We were together once before on Plan&Show and I learned a lot then too. I’m really glad to have another opportunity to work together.]

And the screen switched.

[U&Da?]

Similar dialogue and another mood of classical music flowing out.

At the voice that could be heard, laughter burst out once again from the audience seats.

This time it was Flora’s leader Han Da-min with her legs crossed in exactly the same way.

[When I first saw them, I was genuinely amazed. Wow, how do they perform on stage like that? I could never do it like that.]

In sync with Han Da-min’s words, U&Da’s stages from Start Plan appeared with the sound muted.

[Even though they hadn’t debuted yet, everything they showed on stage was so skilled that both I and all the members said we definitely wanted to perform on stage with U&Da someday.]

Since they had said quite often that they wanted to perform on stage with U&Da, both in interviews during Start Plan and afterwards in front of fans, it was a story the fans already knew.

[To think this kind of opportunity would come again. Ha, really…]

Han Da-min’s tone returned to an acting tone again.

[I’m quite happy.]

Puhup. Laughter leaked out from here and there.

And once again the type of classical music changed.

…There’s more?

U&Da appeared and Flora appeared.

Surely they’re not going to show interviews of all the members, so who else could…?

[This joint stage?]

The audience began to murmur loudly.

What appeared on screen was someone completely unexpected.

Legs crossed pose, a woman who suited that sly smile extremely well.

U&Da’s producer and South Korea’s top solo artist, and the person who produced this joint stage between the two teams.

It was Rena.
