The Chaebol’s Daughter Debuted
Episode 69
Anyway, Start Plan’s first broadcast ended like this.
‘It’s disappointing that it’s over, but everything that needed to come out did.’
They gave focused spotlight to each individual trainee who passed, creating narratives for them, and the debut group trainees also showed their own desperation, though briefly.
This should be decent buildup ahead of the long survival show, shouldn’t it?
“I can’t believe it’s already over. But all the members appeared properly, right?”
Min Ha-young turned around sharply to look at the members. Everyone had generally satisfied expressions.
Who would have thought they’d introduce all the individual trainees who passed like this one by one.
“Ra-eun unnie looked really pretty on the broadcast. I already thought she was pretty, but she had such an aura…”
“Unnie, why didn’t you tell us you did musical theater!”
“Ji-ye did amazingly well both then and now, so calmly.”
“Her character is unique anyway.”
Putting disappointment aside, the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Mother, who was sitting in the back seat, said with a pleased expression.
“Girls, it’s late, so you can sleep over. Should I order some late-night snacks? If there’s anything you want to eat, just say anything!”
Seeing Ryu Ji-ye surrounded by friends made Mother very excited.
“Yes! Thank you!”
The members readily accepted Mother’s offer without hesitation. It seemed everyone had a lot they wanted to say about their impressions of the first broadcast.
“I’m really curious about the viewers’ reactions!”
“Right? I think the reactions will be really good. Both the debut group and everyone else did so well.”
So we left the cinema room and headed back to my room.
***
As soon as the first broadcast ended, clip videos were uploaded to Start Plan’s official channel.
Of course, not all the clips of the trainees who passed were uploaded, but it seemed they selected a few notable trainees among them.
From FLORA, Han Da-min and Min Ha-young were uploaded.
I could understand about me and Seo Ra-eun, but I thought Choi Song-i would definitely appear since she’s a celebrity’s daughter, so it was unexpected.
‘Does this mean being a celebrity’s daughter doesn’t matter at all in survival shows?’
Anyway, thanks to that, Han Da-min and Min Ha-young were busy reading YouTube comments as soon as they returned to the room.
“The number of comments is no joke. Look how they keep going up every time I refresh.”
“Unnie, you had the highest view count, right? The interest seems incredible.”
Seeing both of them grinning while reading comments, it seemed there were more supportive comments than hate comments.
Well, after the broadcast presented their stories like that, it wouldn’t be easy to be sarcastic after watching that.
Then Han Da-min’s laughter suddenly stopped and she frowned while scrolling down quickly.
‘Ah, she found a hate comment.’
Hate comments won’t disappear completely, but since meaningful public opinion supporting her has emerged, let’s find significance in that.
Then what about Min Ha-young?
“Ah~ When will the delivery come? I’m hungry.”
The kid who was grinning while reading comments just moments ago had somehow thrown her mobile phone far away and was talking about something else.
Unlike Han Da-min who directly denied the discord rumors, Min Ha-young’s video probably still had more hate comments flooding it.
I hope public opinion about Min Ha-young stabilizes as the broadcasts continue.
“Hmm…”
Will the production staff really make that happen?
Since I heard it’s the same production staff as Love Me Idol, I couldn’t help but worry.
Then what about me?
I picked up my mobile phone and opened social media.
Today too, Start Plan was at the top of the real-time trends as expected.
Start Plan at the very top, May Rookie and U&DA below that, and even more mysterious trending topics like ‘Why individual trainees’ and ‘Only individual trainees in name’ below that.
Survival programs really do create tremendous buzz.
I think I understand why the youngest member of my former group Sucream fought with the company saying she wanted to appear on this program.
Just appearing and becoming an issue has enough influence to dominate domestic social media trends.
‘Of course, our company rejected it saying it was useless.’
The CEO said there was no way we could win competing against young trainees with good skills.
For that reason, even when the youngest member desperately tried to participate, they didn’t listen.
But that was probably just an excuse.
The CEO’s real thoughts at that time were probably…
They probably rejected it because they had no intention of supporting expensive costumes, hair, makeup, and training for a 7-year veteran singer who didn’t even have any juice left to squeeze.
I erased the bitter smile that naturally formed and opened the search bar.
[Start Plan]
When I briefly browsed social media before, I saw people abbreviating Start Plan as ‘Start Plan’.
When I pressed the search button, many people had indeed left their impressions of Start Plan Episode 1.
Oh… Ah, if I search like this, only May Rookie and U&DA will come up.
I scrolled down and down before giving up and touching the search bar again.
No matter how much I scrolled, only stories and GIFs about May Rookie and occasionally U&DA appeared.
I just realized anew how popular they are.
[#RyuJiYe]
I added my name and searched, then immediately scrolled down.
As expected, when I search by name, posts about me come up.
…No, a lot come up, tons.
Huh? How are there so many?
“…”
I kept scrolling like someone possessed.
No matter how much I scrolled, stories about me endlessly appeared along with edited photos or GIFs of Ryu Ji-ye.
Why do I feel like breaking out in cold sweat now when I didn’t even during auditions?
This is the first time in my life I’ve received this much attention.
When I was active with Sucream, searching my name would at best turn up maybe one post from at least half a year ago.
All these people are carefully capturing, editing, posting and cheering for me when they don’t even know me well yet.
Is this even possible?
