The Chaebol’s Daughter Has Debuted
Chapter 225
Everyone let out sighs at Han Da-min’s words.
The fan name. All the members had a lot to say about this topic.
“It’s way too late!”
“The fans must have been waiting for so long.”
“Sometimes questions kept coming up asking when we’d decide.”
“Right. Everyone, we’re sorry. You’ve been waiting a long time, haven’t you?”
The fan name was something the fans had been waiting for, and it was also a part that made us very anxious.
‘We should have decided this ages ago.’
The talk about needing to decide on a fan name had been coming up at the company for quite a while.
It’s just that both Flora and the company had been going through quite eventful days to make any big decisions…
We ended up announcing it much later than expected.
‘Actually, it’s not even an announcement.’
I smiled at the chat messages rapidly scrolling up in excitement and said with an apologetic expression.
“Actually, this topic came up a long time ago… We have so many things to decide. The fans’ name and all.”
“Right. The light stick too.”
There really were so many things implicitly promised between the fans, the company, and Flora, but we couldn’t do them because we got caught up in various controversies.
This unintentionally led to Day Entertainment receiving criticism.
“So now we need to decide on your name.”
“You haven’t decided yet?”
“…Huh?”
At Song-i’s question, Han Da-min looked flustered and let out a bewildered laugh.
“We didn’t decide together…”
“Exactly. Why didn’t we decide?”
Song-i said shamelessly.
Probably the Song Geum-yeong incident, which could be cited as the biggest cause along with the Splash Con. She seemed to have brought up the topic first before fans could recall that.
Han Da-min chuckled and said to the fans.
“Anyway, it’s time to decide on your name. Do you have any names you’d like?”
At Han Da-min’s words, the chat room started scrolling rapidly.
“Oh, it’s going up really fast?”
“Everyone was looking forward to it like us. What will our name be? I hope it becomes this! Like that.”
The members began reading the fan name candidates appearing in the chat with interested faces.
Among them, some were really good, and there were also creative and funny fan names posted purely to make us laugh.
Giggling while watching this, I said.
“As expected, our fans’ ideas seem better.”
“That’s what I’m saying. How do they think of these things?”
“This won’t do. It seems like we’ll get a better name if we decide the fan name together with the fans.”
I slipped into the members’ conversation and said to the fans.
“Yes, that means we’re holding a fan name recruitment event.”
“Haha…”
The members nodded awkwardly. We had essentially turned on the live broadcast just to convey this message.
“Since it’s a name we’ll be together with for life, we wanted to decide it together with all of you rather than just among ourselves.”
“It’ll be quite a big event, so everyone, please check our SNS or official website after our broadcast ends!”
“Please participate a lot!”
“Of, of course, if you have time. Within limits that won’t burden you…”
“Please take care of us!”
The members spoke energetically and then began grilling meat in earnest.
Sizzle-
The sound of meat cooking. And.
“Wow, as expected. The smoke is no joke.”
Han Da-min’s embarrassed laughter.
And comfortable conversations flowed in the relaxed atmosphere in front of food.
Feedback about broadcasts and performances was also exchanged – conversations that would really happen at a company dinner.
Moreover, as behind-the-scenes stories that fans didn’t know about came out one by one, the chat reactions looked good even at a glance.
The company dinner with fans ripened like this.
***
And the next day, Seo Ra-eun and Choi Song-i’s special clip video was released.
While Han Da-min and I showed pair dance, and Min Ha-young showed performance with numerous dance crews, Seo Ra-eun and Choi Song-i prepared a very bright and sweet duet song.
In a pretty set studio full of flowers, the two sat on chairs as bright as flowers, sitting diagonally facing each other.
And they began singing, dividing parts between them.
A composition that might feel a bit plain compared to the other members’ flashy and dynamic performances.
But even so, you couldn’t take your eyes off it.
Seo Ra-eun’s visuals that shone even brighter in the flower-filled space, and the two’s vocal tones that could rarely be heard on Flora’s stages.
The singing abilities of the two, who were relatively less noticeable in Flora, were revealed.
Ra-eun’s pleasant sweet voice and Song-i’s spirited voice.
Though it didn’t have the strong impact of other members’ clips, the two’s duet received considerable praise and decorated the finale of Flora’s first special clips.
Especially Seo Ra-eun’s visuals became a big issue.
Bright and sparkling makeup, hair loosely braided and draped to one side, and even a floral one-piece dress.
Honestly, it was a visual level that would make anyone gasp in admiration. Even during Love Me Idol, she became a topic for her visuals from the first episode, which led to the tragedy of being completely edited out.
I sometimes paused and watched whenever I encountered edited versions of this clip while scrolling through shorts.
Anyway, Flora’s special clips were hot in many ways.
At least for K-pop fans, it was a good opportunity to properly appeal Flora’s individual charms.
And a few days later.
All staff members gathered in Day Entertainment’s conference room for the first time in a while.
“The reason we gathered today, as previously announced…”
CEO Kim Ja-in, standing in the middle of the conference room, spoke with a somewhat excited expression.
“It’s because it’s time to discuss Flora’s next album activities.”
It’s already been over two months since the debut album 【Blooming】 activities ended.
For a group that just debuted, they should be releasing albums one after another and actively promoting, but due to various controversies and the resulting damage control, we’re only now preparing for a comeback.
Of course, that doesn’t mean we completely abandoned preparing for the next album.
“First, let me talk about the second album’s concept and songs.”
We just couldn’t hold official meetings on the surface, but everyone had been preparing various things behind the scenes.
I heard several songs were already fixed.
CEO Kim Ja-in attached several reference images to the whiteboard and pointed at them.
“This concept connects with the debut album’s storyline but shouldn’t be too similar, so we wondered what would be good.”
I scanned the reference images.
As expected, it had a fantastical atmosphere that wouldn’t exist in reality.
Classic European-style buildings in the forest, forest paths filled with rain and fog, and dawn forests with fog creating a somewhat damp atmosphere.
Overall, they were photos that exuded a mysterious and dreamy yet somewhat ominous atmosphere.
A completely different feeling from 【Blooming】, which was fantasy-style but had various genres and was generally bright.
‘What is this? A horror concept?’
As I was quietly looking, Kim Ja-in said.
“This concept is academy. A secret forest academy concept. It’s also easy listening but with a slightly dark and mysterious atmosphere. However, the song itself won’t go too dreamy and we’ve prepared it with a trendy sound.”
The moment Kim Ja-in said that and played the confirmed title track.
Ding!
[The sixth mission has arrived!]
‘Break through the invisible ceiling and rise up’
This comeback will be a very important turning point for Flora!
You have already succeeded and achieved your dreams.
Now you must choose!
Whether to be satisfied with the present, or to break through the invisible ceiling and soar.
Whatever it is, make the choice you want.
Completion Condition: Successfully complete the approaching opportunity
Reward: Seong Bul-do 7%
The sixth mission had arrived.
‘…What?’
It’s the sixth mission, so why is the reward like this?
If it was a main mission, they would have given me lots of appealing rewards anyway, but this time why is it just Seong Bul-do?
They’re not even giving me things like trait random boxes that they used to hand out so easily.
…Does this mean what I’ll gain in reality after completing the mission is greater than the reward? Otherwise, it’s not particularly appealing.
It takes so long to finish one mission, and they’re trying to wrap it up with just one Seong Bul-do.
Just as I was staring at the Mission Window with dissatisfied eyes, a song began flowing through the speaker.
‘Oh….’
I immediately closed the Mission Window and began focusing on the song.
A song with a completely different atmosphere from the reference image was flowing out.
