Our new title song is 【Revenge】.

Among the countless songs that came in for Flora, it’s a song we agonized over and over to select, then agonized again to arrange and finally completed.

It’s a concept that deviates somewhat from Flora’s elegant and luxurious image up until now, and the easy-listening that reflected trends to some degree, instead matching our worldview with a dark classical atmosphere.

Extremely unique low-pitched melodies that instantly grab your ears, and choreography that openly puts full power into it, departing from the (from our perspective) easy choreography that matched our elegant concept.

Yet how much effort we put into the title to not stray from Flora’s essential image of luxury.

It took more time than ever to complete the title song.

And for choreography completion and practice too.

‘It was incredibly difficult.’

Seriously.

It’s the first time it’s been this hard.

While active in the United States, learning choreography, having album meetings, costume fittings.

When we returned to Korea, it was even busier. I managed to endure with the Dopamine Addiction buff, but the Members were busy collapsing as soon as they got Home.

How bad was it that the Members, who were grinding their teeth in Practice, reached the peak of sensitivity and said the schedule was too excessive or the choreography was too difficult to handle.

Somehow we calmed our hearts and settled down to finally complete everything.

‘…I’m tired.’

I’m still tired.

Really.

Just until the day before yesterday, I was skin and bones, but thanks to resting and managing all day in a hurry to shoot the Music Video, I barely managed to save at least my face.

“Still, it’s fortunate. The Music Video seems like it’ll turn out well.”

“Yeah…”

“After working so hard, it would be disappointing if we didn’t look pretty in the Music Video.”

Han Da-min encouraged me while putting toppings on Greek yogurt.

But actually, you who’s saying that doesn’t look like you’re in great condition either.

I let out a hollow laugh and started eating the Greek yogurt.

I endured with the Dopamine Addiction Buff, but Han Da-min endured without even that, so she lost weight and her complexion became so bad that the Company was worried.

She’s only at that level now because the Company and Members forcibly kept her at the Dormitory for the past few days to manage her condition.

Anyway, that’s how insanely busy we were.

‘What peaceful comeback preparation.’

When was it that I was happy we could prepare for a comeback peacefully without controversy?

There was no controversy. We just worked so hard on schedules that I wondered if our album activities had really ended.

And activities will start again soon.

“…”

Is this right?

I’m not just being spoiled, but really.

Aren’t we living too busily? I sang about wanting to succeed, but I didn’t know it would be this busy…

After lamenting like that, I immediately came to my senses.

‘It’s not being spoiled though.’

This is the most important time and the mission isn’t even over yet, but I’m already making such weak sounds.

I closed my eyes tightly, opened them, and loosened up my body.

‘Let’s do well.’

We must rise up with this album. I have to succeed in the mission.

No, not just the mission, but we just need to do well.

Just then, the Manager came into the Dormitory and started waking up the Members who were still sleeping.

And before we could even fully wake up, we got in the Car and arrived at the Music Video Set.

“Ha, but this place is better than that previous place.”

“Right. It’s not an Abandoned Building-“

“It is an Abandoned Building though.”

Choi Song-i mercilessly interrupted Han Da-min and Min Ha-young’s conversation.

“Oh my, Song-i…”

A sigh naturally escaped.

More than one or two Members have trauma about abandoned buildings since that horror self-content filming.

Fortunately, today’s filming location is at least not as shabby or scary as the 【GISS】 filming location.

It’s just an Abandoned Factory that’s open on all sides. Unlike before, light comes in well from outside and it doesn’t have a particularly eerie atmosphere…

Maybe it’ll get a little scary when night comes.

I don’t know why, but our worldview or story seems to be getting scarier as it goes on.

Though I’m not sure exactly what the content is.

Anyway, today we’re filming scenes of wandering and running along with choreography at This Place.

First, the choreography filming.

The first Costume was tight clothing made of black leather.

Han Da-min wore a leather jacket and leather pants, Min Ha-young wore a bustier that looked comfortable to move in with leather pants.

I wore a jacket similar to Han Da-min’s with a short leather Skirt, and the other Members all wore outfits that suited them well.

Unlike until now when we always wore bright, flowing, or fantasy-like costumes, this time they were completely opposite, very intense styles.

And as you can tell from the costumes, the choreography is also choreography where we frantically move around.

Choreography focused on coolness rather than being beautiful or elegant.

We all made it with one heart and mind, thinking it was time to show this…

‘Everyone’s tired to death before even starting.’

The Members’ condition is terrible because we came to the Filming Studio without even resting after suffering so much.

Can we finish well today like this?

Jang Jak-so, who took on the Music Video Director role again this time, is also talking with Staff Members while looking at the Members with a quite worried face.

And shortly after, filming began amid everyone’s worries.

“Alright everyone, let’s cheer up and do well. Are you ready? Let’s start!”

The intro of our title song 【Revenge】 plays along with Jang Jak-so’s shout.

Along with that, our expressions reflexively changed. Our postures also became sharp.

And when we finished the first choreography filming, the expressions of everyone at the Filming Studio changed to relief.

“Cut!”

Along with the Director’s voice, Han Da-min let out a hollow laugh and muttered quietly.

“The power of Practice is scary.”

There’s a saying among idols. That they Practice so intensely that even if they’re sleeping, they immediately wake up and start Dancing when they hear a song.

That’s exactly what we just did. As soon as the song came on, our expressions reflexively changed and our bodies moved on their own.

We really lacked time to Practice, but our bodies moved reflexively instead – it’s really a head-tilting situation, but all the Members were bewildered yet convinced.

The obsessive practicing we did during our United States activities when it was hard to make time was now paying off.

“You’re doing well now that we’re actually shooting? Let’s go one more time!”

But it’s too early to feel relieved just because we did perfectly well from the first filming.

Because I know Jang Jak-so’s filming style now.

Filming from all angles and compositions until every scene comes out satisfactorily.

The choreography filming has just begun.

***

“Good work everyone!”

“Haah…”

As soon as the words “good work” came out, the Members’ postures became slouched.

Clearly until morning, regardless of our body condition, our face condition was somewhat okay.

By the time the choreography filming was ending, our faces became half-sized and haggard.

“It’s really too hard.”

If Min Ha-young actually said it was hard, it meant everyone’s stamina was ground down to near death.

But filming wasn’t over yet.

“Haah.”

I let out a deep sigh and looked up at the Abandoned Factory.

Night had fallen before we knew it.

And from now on, we had to repeat the cycle of running and being chased.

Thinking about how we ran like crazy during the 【GISS】 music video, this would consume more stamina and time than the choreography.

‘Is this really okay?’

Looking around at the members whose faces were becoming gaunt even through their heavy makeup, I worriedly glanced at Jang Jak-so.

“…?”

What’s this? Why does that side have such a good atmosphere?

We were dying here, but over there, even after seeing the faces of his filming subjects, he showed no concern and actually looked like things weren’t bad at all.

Then he made direct eye contact with me and belatedly asked with a worried expression.

“Are you okay? Should we take a break? Get some caffeine transfusion too.”

I quickly nodded at him as he pointed to the coffee gathered on one side, then got up stiffly and headed over there.

As I walked, I let out another hollow laugh.

Right. Jang Jak-so was a director obsessed with visual aesthetics and atmosphere.

I guarantee he thinks the gaunt faces of actors running and being chased actually suits the scene well.

Well, if Jang Jak-so thinks that way, I’m not worried about the video itself….

Unless you’re the one experiencing it, you can’t properly know how hard we’re struggling right now, so that’s why he’s acting like that.

‘But I’m worried about our members.’

I let out a deep sigh and finally opened the system. I was thinking of checking if there were any decent buffs available.
