The Chaebol’s Daughter Has Debuted

Chapter 228

It was late evening.

A time when many people were finishing their day after dinner.

FLORA’s fans were continuing their enjoyable fan activities today as well, grateful for another peacefully flowing day.

[FLORA] The fact that special clips are starting to come out…

This means a comeback is approaching, right? >ㅇ【 Day Enter, I’m excited~</p】

⌎Me too…me too ㅠㅠ Day Entertainment please…ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

⌎Honestly, it’s about time for it to come out nowㅠㅠㅠ

⌎22 I personally think it would be nice if they rested more, but if they just debuted, now seems like the right timing?

[FLORA] Timing-wise, now is definitely good for a comeback

The agency, members, and fans are all fired up with determination almost as much as during Start Plan because of the controversy.

The special clips are riding the algorithm, and not only domestic but also overseas K-pop fans are starting to watch FLORA’s stage videos and other content in reverse (moving from simple recognition to high interest stage)

Public favorability rising due to their skills and way of handling controversies

Forget everything else, it’s been almost 3 months since Blooming activities ended, it’s time to come out

⌎ All the overseas reaction channels are watching the special clips and going crazy lol

⌎The view count is doing fucking amazing lol

⌎Don’t think you can get away with just clips, Day…it’s not enough..not enough…we’re only waiting for a comeback..

⌎Really? For someone saying that, you seem to be enjoying the clips quite a bit…? Look at your profile pic

⌎ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Just saw your profile pic now lololol If that’s a real photo of you praying before the clip, weren’t you the one enjoying it the most…

Each SNS and fan community that had been either quiet or burning hot had now completely regained stability and started feeling happiness again through fan activities.

Unlike not long ago when thinking about FLORA made their hearts feel stuffy, worried, and anxious, the atmosphere was now cheerful.

These days, FLORA’s fans’ main topics of conversation were the fan name recruitment event, special clips, and expectations for the next comeback.

When exactly would the comeback be?

It’s about time now.

It would be great if they made a comeback right now when so many people’s attention is focused.

Even if not for that reason, they just wanted to see them quickly.

What would the fan name be decided as, and so on.

In such a quiet yet bustling FLORA official community.

At a very unexpected timing, one post went up.

Song-i’s First Gift -Song-i

Song-i’s first gift to the fans.

Fans immediately reacted to the popup alarm that they had no choice but to click right away.

A photo? A drawing? Or maybe a cover song? Or an actual material gift?

The moment everyone opened the page with anticipation.

[Should we start?]

As soon as they entered, familiar members’ voices began to be heard.

True to Song-i’s style, it seemed she had just uploaded it without the attention to detail of checking to prevent audio from playing automatically upon upload.

A gift.

What was flowing out from what was supposed to be Song-i’s gift were Da-min and Ji-ye’s voices.

[Should unnie go first? Should I go first?]

[Why are you asking me that? You should ask our director.]

The two said that and then giggled and laughed.

The audio quality was exceptionally good for just casual conversation.

Just as they were quietly listening wondering what this was trying to do, Song-i’s voice was heard.

[Raise the pitch way up. Right now it’s too realistic a voice.]

Da-min and Ji-ye chuckled at the voice that came through quietly as if sitting a bit far away.

[What’s realistic and what’s unrealistic?]

[But I roughly understand what you’re trying to say.]

Then Da-min and Ji-ye raised their voice tones way up, creating nasally sounds.

As if reality hit them, the two burst into laughter again.

[Seriously, what are we suddenly doing?]

[That’s why I said to just turn off the computer. Anyway, we’re ready now, Song-i.]

There was no response to Ji-ye’s words.

What exactly were they trying to do with this buildup? What was ready?

At that moment, a song started playing without warning.

How should one describe the first impression of this song?

Too monotonous for fans to consider it serious, yet mixed with too many trendy chord progressions to be considered a joke.

It was an awkward song that seemed simple but showed traces of effort.

And from this song that tried earnestly to be serious came a bright, bouncy melody that couldn’t be hidden. The tune that made you strangely nostalgic for something while listening created disharmony.

Just when you might think what kind of hybrid this was.

When darkness falls, the midnight feast begins

Red flames on the table.

Spicy taste mixed with sweetness

You and I, our secret here alone

Han Da-min began singing in a nasally voice.

…What exactly is this?

Trendy chords with monotonous and awkward composition, dark minor tones that seemed to imitate hip-hop with melodies reminiscent of children’s songs.

Lyrics that seemed profound yet somewhat childish, like a song written by a six-year-old.

Even the contrasting nasally voice.

It was nothing short of a hybrid children’s song.

After Han Da-min’s voice delivered one moment of bewilderment, another child’s, no, nasally voice was heard.

You are my guilty pleasure

In that spicy taste, forgetting everything

Melting away the weight of the day, just for today

Intoxicated by this taste, we become freer

What exactly is this?

Why did they suddenly upload this?

Did they get company permission before uploading this?

The suspicious gift had only one incomprehensible line of comment left.

***

“Oh my, Song-i…”

I chuckled while watching the comments and heart count going up in real time.

It was just a quick scan, but the fans seemed to be showing reactions just as bewildered as ours.

‘Well, of course they would.’

What was suddenly uploaded in the evening was a song of completely unknown identity.

What exactly was the intention behind uploading this song? Honestly, I’d be curious too.

Song-i wasn’t the type to kindly add explanations either, so the fans would be even more confused, bewildered, and amused.

“For a while, if we turn on live broadcasts, they’ll only ask about this.”

Han Da-min giggled while fiddling with her mobile phone.

“Look how the comments are going up even though it hasn’t been long since we uploaded this. Isn’t this crazy?”

“Everyone must be dumbfounded. Look what we uploaded. Isn’t this really the ultimate cringe?”

“But this isn’t bad. Kind of with a B-grade vibe. If it becomes popular among fans, should we suggest making a special clip next time?”

“It hasn’t even been half a day since we uploaded it. Really so eager.”

I said that while looking at the screen Han Da-min was watching.

Song-i seemed satisfied after finishing the tteokbokki and even creating a song, so she soon said she was tired and went back to the dormitory.

I was going to go back with Song-i, but Han Da-min stubbornly sat back down in front of the computer.

‘She said she’d stop working today.’

I knew Han Da-min’s personality would lead to this.

Since I originally came to help Da-min, I just stayed and continued helping with the work.

“There’s a saying that the end of tuning is going back to stock. Let’s go back to the original version and start from the beginning.”

“Times like this make me feel overwhelmed by you, unnie. That passion is real.”

“Am I the only one like this?”

“You’re the only one.”

We started modifying the song again while making silly jokes.

“If this doesn’t work out even with you, I’ll have to call my friends one by one to tear it apart and fix it.”

“Friends? The Rosetta members?”

“Them too. I have a friend who’s been holed up at home just writing songs lately. I’m thinking of getting help from that friend too.”

“Who is it? You actually have quite a lot of friends, unnie. Didn’t you also become close with choreographer On I-seul?”

“I do tend to approach people right away once I take a liking to them.”

Han Da-min giggled then changed her expression to a bitter smile.

“There is someone. A kid who’s going through some emotional hardship lately. Do you know a group called Crunch?”

“…Crunch?”

It sounded familiar but also not really.

Seeing my ambiguous reaction, Han Da-min spoke as if she expected this.

“You might not know them. You might have heard their songs though.”

I turned on my mobile phone and searched for Crunch.

“Ah, I think I know them.”

Seeing the eye-catching costumes, I recognized them. Not now, but back when I was in Sucream, it was a group I had encountered several times on music shows.

From my perspective, they felt similar to Rosetta, Han Da-min’s former group?

“Were you acquainted with these people, unnie?”

“Well, we were active during the same period.”

That made sense. Crunch, like Rosetta, had quite a bit of overlap in their active period with Sucream.

However, I knew they had stopped activities and went through disbandment procedures faster than Sucream or Rosetta.

I didn’t know them well, but I knew they went through something very bad right before disbanding.

Seeing that she’s holed up just writing songs, it seems she still hasn’t gotten over it.

“If she comes to the studio, would you like to say hello? She’s good at making songs too.”

“Oh, I’d be grateful if you introduced us. Though I’m not confident about becoming close.”

I was answering casually as if in passing, putting down my mobile phone and trying to focus on the monitor again.

Ding!

Don’t meet her

At an unexpected timing, the Unfortunate Idol’s memory appeared.
