The Chaebol’s Daughter Has Debuted
Chapter 233
All the members’ gazes focused on Ha-young.
Probably the viewers watching this broadcast would also be looking only at Ha-young.
And surprisingly, Min Ha-young, who chose the profession of singer, is incredibly weak when people’s attention is focused on her.
“Uh… what should I do? Really, it’s so sudden that I need time to think…”
Billboard Korea 1st place promise, something big.
What kind of brilliant promise would make everyone admire it? You could see her struggling to think.
‘This would be about the right timing to cover for her…’
The members just giggled and waited for Ha-young’s answer.
Ha-young’s reactions are definitely the most entertaining.
Just moments ago, she was passionately talking while showing all the confidence she had about the next album.
Ha-young’s pupils began to shake restlessly.
“Haha, look at this. Ha-young’s eyes are starting to shake again.”
Han Da-min and the members said while giggling.
Eventually, Ha-young made a tearful face and spoke to the members in a shrinking voice.
“Ugh… help me…”
“Puhaha!”
“Hey! Why are you so cute!”
Han Da-min hugged Min Ha-young with a face that said she couldn’t hold back anymore. Min Ha-young sat there being hugged with an embarrassed expression, then immediately sat up and muttered.
“Promise… quickly everyone, one each, um…”
Come up with ideas.
The members chuckled and a brief silence fell.
“A promise…”
Han Da-min looked at SNS as if doing a favor and pointed at Ha-young.
“It’s a bit much for only Ha-young to make a promise. It’s everyone’s album.”
“That’s true. We made her make too burdensome a choice.”
“Then how about we make one team group promise?”
“Yeah yeah, let’s do that. Flora will fulfill the promise. Guys, what should we do? Everyone, what would be good?”
The members naturally changed it to a promise for the entire team and fell into thought again.
Actually, it’s not like we would have any ideas either.
‘Was this too impromptu a topic?’
I just suggested making a promise to tease Ha-young, but suddenly it became so serious, is this okay?
“Hmm… what promises are there?”
Thinking about this and that, I shifted my gaze to SNS on my mobile phone.
Probably the fans want something specific… Oh.
I immediately opened my mouth.
“The fans are posting all sorts of things. They say they want to see our group special clip too.”
“Ahh!”
The members all exclaimed in unison. They seemed to be thinking ‘That’s it!’
“Right. I heard so many people say they want to see a special clip Flora group version.”
Seo Ra-eun said.
Right. I heard that a lot too.
The reason the individual and unit special clip cover videos uploaded during the break period became such a big issue was because the fans loved them that much.
Except for Ha-young’s case, which was originally an algorithm powerhouse, it was inevitable that fans would love the high-quality video aesthetics packed with direction…
Fan-made short-form videos that were created by cutting parts for fan activities became a big issue by riding the algorithm.
That enthusiasm hasn’t even cooled down yet.
So naturally, requests flooded in with expectations like ‘Since individual and unit ones came out, won’t a group one come out someday?’
Honestly, whether looking at it financially or schedule-wise, this isn’t something to decide so impromptu.
‘Special clips secretly cost a lot of money…’
But still, this is a promise.
Promises should be made with what fans would like most.
And our gazes naturally turned to the corner, that is, to our staff hiding in the camera’s blind spot.
Naturally, the expressions of the staff who had been dying from staying up all night preparing special clips until just recently were very unpleasant.
But… we have to do it, right? We all have to succeed together, right?
At my gaze, the staff gritted their teeth and nodded with resignation, a little frustration, and thread-like passion.
Han Da-min, who immediately caught this, quickly said.
“That sounds good?”
“A group special clip promise is perfect. The fans want it and we’d like to do it too.”
I lightly turned the camera so all members would be filmed.
“Then if we get 1st place, we’ll release the group special clip that fans have been wanting!”
“Waaaah!”
And then, silence.
Both the cheers and conversation stopped abruptly.
Splash splash.
The members began wiggling their feet in the ice water with slightly deflated faces.
It seemed they got tired from that brief conversation and little bit of cheering because the aftereffects of practice remained.
I turned off the camera and put it down beside me, then slipped out my feet and wiped them with a towel.
“Should we go to sleep now?”
Let’s please clean up together tomorrow.
“Yeah, let’s go to sleep.”
At my words, the members one by one wiped their feet with towels, got up, and headed to their respective rooms.
Surprisingly, no one said anything about cleaning up the ice water basin and disappeared.
***
The next day, I blinked my eyes while looking at the sunlight faintly coming through the blackout curtains and stared into space.
“Ahh…”
So bright…
I frowned at the intensely prominent light and let out a big sigh.
‘System.’
“It’s been a while…”
It had been really long since I opened the system window myself after suffering because of Seong Bul-do.
‘There wasn’t much worth opening it for lately.’
Since it was a break period, there was no need to check and prepare every day.
However, now with the comeback approaching.
The time has finally come.
Now it’s time to spend all the coins I’ve saved up.
‘Cash Shop’

41,200 gold.
I really worked hard to save this much.
During this time, I earned a whopping 41,200G by performing small sub-quests instead of main missions.
‘I really did well to unlock sub-quests first.’
With main missions that were getting longer intervals, coin supply would never have been easy.
If there hadn’t been sub-quests, I wouldn’t have even thought of ‘earning’ gold in the first place.
There wasn’t much need to use it extensively, and sub-quests could be induced to generate, making them easy to collect.
Now I’m going to…
“Phew.”
Pour all of this into me and my group.
‘It’s our first comeback, so we need to show a properly transformed image.’
I expected it to some extent, but our group’s image has been quite worn down lately.
The highly talked-about Start Plan appearance.
The first debut among Start Plan groups.
The endless stream of various controversies.
Members who were already widely known for their entertainment industry experience even before debut.
We barely succeeded in turning around the negative public opinion with special clips and building a skilled image, but…
Since we’ve been exposed so much, if we don’t show properly developed growth, we’ll get reviews saying people are ‘tired of us.’
Therefore, we absolutely must show a renewed image in this comeback.
It seems like a good time to borrow some power from heaven.
‘First, let’s start with status window stats.’
It would be good to stabilize the members’ overall stats first.
‘Their skills must have improved a lot by now too.’
Since each has areas they’re good at and areas they lack, let’s raise the lower-grade stats among the members so they’re not uneven.
“Status window.”
Ding! The familiar window appeared with a cheerful sound.
‘They must have improved a lot since they’ve been practicing hard all this time…’
Wait a minute… What’s this?
Why are all the stats like this?
Me, Han Da-min, Seo Ra-eun, Min Ha-young, Choi Song-i.
I opened the members’ status windows one by one.
And I couldn’t help but be flustered.
Min Ha-young (21 years old)
-Day Entertainment
Vocal: B
Dance: S
Appearance: B
Potential: A

Overall Assessment
: A person who shows exceptional talent in dance. When she starts dancing, everyone focuses on her. But her talent isn’t limited to just dancing! So don’t let your guard down! If you act arrogantly, she’ll steal your spotlight!
*Her dance grade can grow up to SS depending on her efforts.
‘…What is this perfect status window?’
Why has she become such a perfect person while I wasn’t looking?
It wasn’t just Ha-young.
All the members were like this.
Their stats had risen evenly to the point where I didn’t even need to use the gold I worked hard to earn to raise their stats.
In fact, if I raised them any more from here, it would look artificial.
‘…Such admirable kids.’
I’d been with them so much that I completely failed to notice their skills had improved this significantly.
