The Chaebol’s Daughter Has Debuted

Chapter 212

Day Entertainment’s conference room.

“It would be a bit awkward for us two to just sit still and sing.”

Han Da-min said that while patting my shoulder.

“Ji-ye, dance a lot while your joints are good. That’s sincere advice.”

Then she massaged her own knees. A chuckle escaped me. Come to think of it, this person didn’t do that at first, but by the end of our activities she was constantly saying ‘Oh, my aching body.’

I thought she was just joking when she laughed about it, but it really hurt.

Well, if I had danced Flora’s choreography with Hong Yeo-eun’s body instead of Ryu Ji-ye’s, I might be lying flat by now.

I nodded at her and said.

“Unnie, even if your joints ache, you still have to dance.”

“What?”

Look at what this kid is saying?

Han Da-min snorted and lightly pinched my cheek.

But really, as Han Da-min said, it would be really boring if we two just sat and sang a duet.

“Right, you two should go with a performance. The fans will have expectations too.”

CEO Kim Ja-in, who had been in a very low mood until just now, had somehow returned to her original energy and asked.

This person too, seeing how her eyes light up with dopamine once work starts, she’s really a workaholic.

I raised my hand with inner relief.

“I do have something I’ve been thinking about. I think Da-min unnie would like it.”

“Hm?”

Then I fumbled with my mobile phone and played one of the songs I had organized for today.

Soon, a song with an intense sound began flowing from the mobile phone.

“Oh, isn’t this a song that came out recently?”

“It’s been about half a year since it came out to call it recent, but I thought when else would we try this kind of sexy concept if not when it’s just us two.”

“This is crazy!”

Han Da-min immediately jumped up and responded enthusiastically.

Right, what I chose was a song called ‘Lavender’ by a rapper named Wei Yin.

A song that presented an incredible sexy concept and became a hot topic with its music video, staying in the upper ranks of the Billboard charts for a while.

There’s no set choreography, but it’s a powerful song with a very fast beat and the same tempo as a dance song. The, lyrics are a bit… quite something, but it’s perfect for dancing with the concept I wanted.

Plus…

“Unnie, didn’t you practice with this song before?”

“Yeah yeah, that’s right. Wow, so you knew and brought it?”

I nodded yes to Han Da-min’s excited voice.

This song itself honestly wasn’t really my taste so I had passed over it after listening, but my thoughts changed after seeing Han Da-min practice with this song.

There are occasionally cases where a song becomes good thanks to choreography, and this song was exactly that kind of song.

‘Of course, what Han Da-min danced wasn’t the original choreography.’

Intense and distinctly hip-hop colored yet sexy concept dance.

I wanted to try dancing it too, so I immediately saved the song.

“Who else would I try this kind of concept with if not unnie.”

Han Da-min quickly agreed with my words.

“That’s definitely true.”

Min Ha-young has very firm dance preferences and surprisingly tends to avoid this kind of flexible and sexy style because it doesn’t match her image.

Not to mention the other members.

“How’s the song? Is it okay to go with this song?”

“Ah, that’s not up to me but.”

Da-min and I simultaneously looked at Kim Ja-in.

“The song’s not bad? I’ll arrange for a choreographer teacher, so let’s do well. I think it would be good to keep challenging concepts we’ve never shown like this.”

After that, the staff referenced music videos and other dancers’ creative choreography while bringing up various opinions about the concept.

Our family members as always.

They always have such good ideas, which is why I can see why Kim Ja-in brought them, as I always say.

And soon the concept meeting ended.

The staff who had gathered for the meeting all filed out, and soon other staff members came in.

Unlike the passionate and energetic staff from before, these ones had faces that looked half-dead.

Looking at them, Kim Ja-in also returned to her earlier expression and was dying along with the staff.

These are the people.

Our heroes.

Or more accurately, the victims.

The people who had been taking calls from Song-i’s mother.

“Now, shall we talk about this a bit.”

With Kim Ja-in’s words, angry sighs burst out from here and there.

“Really, it’s too much even for her – now she doesn’t even show basic courtesy. She just talks like ‘hey, you,’ you know?”

“The level itself changed after yesterday… I barely held back from cursing along with her.”

“Phew, good job holding back. So you all recorded everything, right?”

“Of course. If we hadn’t recorded it, we would have gone crazy from frustration, really.”

“Send all the recordings to the response team.”

Everyone had dead eyes, but the conversation continued without stopping.

Even when Song-i went directly to talk to her it didn’t work, and since the concert was over, honestly whatever Song-i’s mother did now couldn’t be called sudden.

Kim Ja-in spoke with the most annoyed expression she could muster.

“We absolutely must not respond emotionally. Even if it spreads to a public opinion war, we’ll be as courteous as possible and blow up when we think there’s really no answer.”

“Haah…”

One of the staff let out a deep sigh.

“Do we really have to go that far?”

They were full of anger, having been thoroughly tormented.

“Song-i said it’s okay, and they’re not being courteous, so why should we bother…”

“We have to. It’s not just for Song-i’s sake.”

But honestly, no matter who got angry, they probably couldn’t beat the subtle venom and madness lurking in Kim Ja-in’s eyes.

Probably the person who received more calls from Song-i’s mother than Song-i herself.

“Why are you all acting like amateurs? Public opinion is an image battle. You have to stay silent and then blow up when the time is right – if you get into a dogfight, people just say fight more, fight more to those who look the same.”

So basically, whatever happened, when they did blow up, they’d do it properly.

And that evening.

Sure enough, something finally happened.

[“Please save my daughter…” Song Geum-yeong exposes Flora’s agency, no contact even with family…]

We were hit with false accusations with exactly the content we had expected.

***

“…What is this?”

Yu-jin confirmed the situation when she woke up in the morning and habitually checked SNS.

Having finished her fan denial phase and established herself as a proper Flora fansite master, she turned on Blue Bird as usual to check her own SNS situation and get new information.

And as soon as she turned it on, her eyes nearly rolled back.

“No way…”

We were fine until yesterday. It hadn’t been long since the concert ended and we were happy about all the overflowing content…

Song Geum-yeong expose.

Choi Song-i expose.

Flora no contact.

What kind of keywords are these?

With trembling hands, she touched one of the many Flora-related trends.

Then came pouring reactions from people and articles.

After reading all of them and grasping the situation, Yu-jin reached a state where her mind was truly collapsing.

So Day Entertainment prevented Flora and their families from even meeting, made them run unreasonable schedules, and forced Flora to continue activities by gaslighting Song-i and the members?

That Day Entertainment, which gets told their love for Flora is excessive beyond overflowing?

Flora, who smiled so happily at the concert?

Is this right?

…The kids were hiding their struggles?

Are our kids the type to endure something like that?

“…As a parent, I demanded withdrawal for Song-i’s safety. Day Entertainment hasn’t posted anything yet.”

No way, that can’t be, what withdrawal…

When she was looking around the articles with a serious expression, truly confused and worried before anything else.

Ding!

A post went up on Flora’s Official Community.

“Ji-ye?”

Yu-jin hurriedly touched the popup window, the app opened, and Ryu Ji-ye’s post appeared.

“Ji-ye…”

Yu-jin spoke in a choked voice.

There was no text written in the post. Just the animal emoticons that had become their symbol.

(Tiger, rabbit, puppy, bear, cat emoticons) = 0

(Winking emoticon)

A short post as if asking them to trust them.

The number of hearts and comments quickly went up.

Though it was a post without a single character of text, this was enough.

With just this, Yu-jin, no, the fans could trust them and wait calmly.

That afternoon, spent anxiously staring at her mobile phone all day.

Finally, Day Entertainment’s rebuttal was reported extensively.

[Flora’s agency Day Entertainment completely denies Song Geum-yeong’s exposé “False exposé is too emotional a response…regrettable”]
