I monitored Han Da-min and Seo Ra-eun’s performance while preparing for the next stage.
“No matter how many times I watch it, it’s hilarious.”
“Right? Whose brain could possibly come up with something like that?”
Min Ha-young giggled and turned on her Mobile Phone Camera again.
I’d need to head backstage soon… but it really would be a shame not to save this to the Gallery.
I also turned on my Mobile Phone and recorded the Monitor.
‘This is a year’s worth of material to tease them with.’
Even though I’d seen this Stage Performance multiple times during Rehearsals and such, performing in front of Fans was always the most entertaining.
The way they got so excited and exaggerated their expressions and movements in front of Fans.
It was both adorable and hilarious.
“The Princesses are really excited. This is so funny.”
Han Da-min and Seo Ra-eun on Stage bounced around, swirling their puffy Skirts dramatically.
Every time they showed Aegyo toward the Cameras, the Fans loved it.
The more the Fans enjoyed it, the more exaggerated their Aegyo and Gestures became.
‘Han Da-min is one thing….’
But how did Seo Ra-eun end up like this….
She was displaying shameless Aegyo just as much as the over-the-top Han Da-min.
Just how much had Han Da-min influenced her? It was practically Brainwashing.
To pull off such skillful, embarrassing Aegyo while looking at the Camera, she must have practiced quite extensively in front of a Mirror.
Regardless, she was doing well, but watching Seo Ra-eun experience occasional Reality Checks was absolutely hilarious.
The Song they performed was like a cute and lively tune that a popular Japanese Idol might sing, adapted into Korean.
A Concept completely unlike what you’d expect from a FLORA Member.
Surprisingly, it was a Song Han Da-min had created herself.
‘She said she made it in thirty minutes.’
She’d worked on it alone without even calling me, completing it that quickly.
I heard she finished it easily and rapidly because she’d created it to entertain the Fans comfortably at the Concert.
Since it was a rare Unit Stage, there must have been a desire to make it impressive.
But she said since it was a Festival just for Fans and FLORA, there was no need to do only impressive things, so she prepared this instead.
Choi Song-i had a fresh, lovely, and mysteriously ethereal Forest Child Concept.
Since we’d shown a Performance mixing Eastern Occult and Hip-hop, shouldn’t one Team be entertaining? she’d said.
I agreed with that reasoning, but deep down I’d thought—if it’s supposed to be funny, why should those two sacrifice themselves? We could just make one Group Song and perform that.
But looking at the two of them on the Monitor, it seemed my concern was unnecessary.
They were completely enjoying themselves. In fact, Seo Ra-eun seemed far more relaxed than when she performed polished, impressive Stages.
‘…Is she actually enjoying it, not being Brainwashed?’
While Han Da-min seemed to be doing it with professional dedication and all her might, Seo Ra-eun seemed to genuinely love it.
Since she naturally loved cute, pretty, and adorable things, it must have matched her taste.
“Doesn’t the Costume Ra-eun is wearing look like your Room interior design?”
“It’s basically your Room itself. Ra-eun was embarrassed during Rehearsal, but I think she actually likes this deep down. There’s no way she’d shine like that otherwise.”
Min Ha-young answered with a touch of teasing.
I’d never imagined such a Concept would suit Seo Ra-eun.
I’d always vaguely assumed she’d only suit concepts that were pure, pretty, and demure.
But if Seo Ra-eun approves, it seems like giving her a solo song with that kind of concept would be perfectly fine.
“Honestly, I feel a bit bad for Da-min, but I can only see Ra-eun~”
Min Ha-young giggled as she spoke.
I’m actually watching Seo Ra-eun in much the same way.
Her stage presence is distinctly magnified on this particular stage.
If those people who claim Seo Ra-eun has the least stage presence in FLORA or lacks charisma saw her like this, they’d never say such things again.
While the two of them performed, we hurriedly finished our preparations and headed backstage.
We still had plenty of time before the next song, but before that, we needed to give Han Da-min and Seo Ra-eun time to change clothes after their unit performance finale.
Min Ha-young, the funniest and most charming member of our group, and I, her partner, took on the impromptu talk segment.
Shortly after, their stage ended and the lighting shifted from the blindingly bright pink to normal colors.
Just as the atmosphere that had been heated up began to cool slightly.
“Wow~”
“That was such an adorable and charming stage.”
Min Ha-young and I took the stage.
“Did everyone enjoy the lovely and cute stage from the FLORA line?”
“Yes!”
“It was amazing, right?”
“Yes!”
I couldn’t help but chuckle at Min Ha-young’s audience engagement.
“What do you mean ‘amazing’? What was so amazing about it?”
“Ha, well, everything really. I felt like I was just repeating ‘cute’ over and over. But seriously, everyone, our unnies were so adorable.”
“Yes!”
“Right, they were cute. I was really surprised watching from backstage. Our unnies.”
I tilted my head playfully as I spoke.
“Turns out they really enjoy this kind of thing.”
“It was like they were freely expressing the cuteness they’d kept sealed away inside.”
“Yes, exactly. For this unit stage, I’m sure some of you Garden fans thought it was unexpected, while others thought it went exactly as you imagined.”
“I think ours was probably exactly as expected.”
Min Ha-young said without a moment’s hesitation, and the fans immediately agreed with her.
Min Ha-young’s strengths and individuality are so overwhelmingly powerful that whenever she’s included in a unit, it’s virtually guaranteed that the performance will feature high-difficulty dance choreography, regardless of who her partner is.
Conversely, if Min Ha-young were included but the dancing were weak, it would feel like such a waste, so the fans probably anticipated our stage accordingly.
“If I were to describe our stage, I’d say it had the most solid concept among all the unit stages.”
“That’s right. We really committed to a strong concept.”
“It was a grim reaper concept. Yes.”
“And because of that, it was also the stage with the most dancers participating.”
A clear concept, numerous dancers, and formations that created an overwhelming performance just by existing.
It was a song where we could dance and sing to our hearts’ content, so both Min Ha-young and I were very satisfied with the stage.
“The choreography using fans was especially impressive.”
“Exactly. Not just for us two, but I even thought it could’ve worked as a FLORA song. The choreography, the concept, the song—everything was so good. What did you all think?”
In response to my question, the fans answered—though their replies weren’t simple yes-or-no responses, so the words blended together, but it seemed they were saying they enjoyed it.
I smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
“I’m so glad you all enjoyed it. And for our first stage, Song-i.”
“I performed my solo song on stage for the first time. It was so, so, so adorable.”
“You all kept taking photos behind us and going on and on about how cute it was.”
“It was a mysterious yet refreshing and youthful stage—like encountering a forest sprite.”
“What particularly stood out was Song-i’s Guitar Playing….”
The moment I brought up the guitar, the fans’ response grew even louder.
The fans also said that Song-i’s performance—singing while playing the guitar herself—was fresh and left a strong impression.
We spoke about the aspects we’d focused on while Song-i was preparing, the parts that had moved us.
“And finally….”
Ha-young started to speak but burst out laughing.
“Hands down, the best stage. The Unnie line’s stage.”
“I never would have imagined those two would prepare something like that.”
“Right. Usually they have this mature, dependable image—like our Leader and big sisters who guide us well.”
From the start, we were giggling as we began to talk about the two of them’s stage.
“It was seriously hilarious.”
Another voice came through the Speaker.
Delivered matter-of-factly, but brimming with playfulness.
“Kyaaaaaaah!!!”
Song-i, having changed into her Costume, was taking the Stage amid the fans’ cheering.
