The Chaebol’s Daughter Debuted

Episode 82

A truly musical-like composition with various themes mixed together.

Although they proceeded with a solo dance instead of pairs for the long section allocated to each group, the stage didn’t feel lacking.

For trainees, and at least for the beginning part anyway.

I can tell just by looking into your eyes

In your heart, I have no fear

Young-ju’s face appeared in close-up, more vibrant than the previous team members’ parts.

If U&Da had skillfulness and Flora had facial expression acting that matched the song, Young-ju showed desperate passion.

She was also handling the choreography and live performance well without major issues.

If she continued like this, it seemed she could receive good reviews.

However.

“Oh dear…”

The judges who had been watching intently let out small sighs.

Young-ju, who had been performing smoothly at the beginning, began to waver little by little.

It was right around the middle of the solo section.

Her breathing gradually became rougher, and soon her live performance started to shake.

As her live performance wavered, naturally her expression began to shake too.

“Ah, that’s a bit disappointing.”

“Still, it’s understandable. It is quite long to do alone. She must have been nervous too.”

She’s not a singer familiar with the stage, but a trainee.

No matter how skilled a trainee is, leading this long section alone would never be easy.

Rather, she did really well considering she was alone.

However, it was inevitable that this would break the immersion in the stage.

“She did quite well during practice. She must have been too nervous and put in too much effort.”

Lee Si-ah said while firmly marking deductions on her score sheet.

She understood that desperate feeling, but.

Disappointing was disappointing, and anyway it was Flan-Shu who chose to do this kind of direction.

Not being able to pull it off was also grounds for deduction.

“Still, the direction was good. Spotlighting each person and focusing on each group was definitely entertaining to watch…”

The judges’ words, who had been sharing their impressions while their concentration was momentarily scattered due to Young-ju’s wavering, suddenly stopped.

The red lighting was gradually changing to ordinary bright light.

At the same time, the members who had been scattered around gathered near Young-ju.

The judges’ gazes turned back to the stage.

Before they knew it, Ryu Ji-ye was standing in the center of an inverted triangle formation.

As the camera gradually moved closer and finally close-upped on Ryu Ji-ye’s face, Ryu Ji-ye smiled brightly and tilted her head slightly.

And the group dance began.

“Wow…”

So-hae let out a hollow laugh and put down the documents she had been holding for evaluation.

Ryu Ji-ye really is amazing.

Seeing how the momentarily blurred concentration immediately snapped back as soon as Ryu Ji-ye stood in the center.

You’ll even forget who I am

You just take my hand

Into endless happiness

A fast-paced, trendy melody.

It was clean choreography as if organizing the colorful stage.

These were members who had shown completely different styles of dance that seemed impossible to mix when they performed by groups.

But once they entered the group dance, they fit together perfectly like one body.

Just how hard did they practice to be able to match their movements like this in just one week?

The judges, unaware that Flan-Shu had continued practicing all night every night, watched their stage with interest.

And finally.

You’ll forget who you even are

Let’s go into endless happiness

Flan-Shu’s stage ended with Ryu Ji-ye’s whispering-like part.

The lighting on stage went dark then brightened.

A brief silence fell.

The Flan-Shu members maintained their pose for a moment then stood up and lined up side by side.

“Thank you!”

They bowed while out of breath, but no response came back.

Well, of course there was no need to respond, but still, there wasn’t this kind of silence during the stage right before.

‘Was something strange?’

The stage seemed to go well though.

When Ryu Ji-ye looked puzzled and her expression stiffened slightly, Lee Si-ah was the first to pick up the microphone.

“We really enjoyed watching. We already saw it during practice, but this team really seems to be made for actual performance. This was the best you’ve ever been.”

‘Ah, thank goodness.’

Actually, she had been worried about the slight wavering during Young-ju’s solo part near the end.

However, the silence that had fallen earlier didn’t seem to be because of that.

“The stage content goes without saying, and especially the facial expression acting that matched each song’s atmosphere when you came out by groups was excellent.”

Could even debuted artists bring this to life to this extent?

It was a stage that made this question flash through Lee Si-ah’s mind.

The expressions and gestures that changed moment by moment with the song made it impossible to take their eyes off them even when they were just singing without any particular choreography.

“Since I’m a dance trainer and the person who was in charge of your dancing, I tried to focus mainly on the dance.”

The dancing was of course good too.

Each pair and solo dance was performed well without any issues, and it brought out the unique composition of this musical-like stage even better.

“But this time, my attention went to you all rather than the dancing. What this means is that this stage was quite entertaining to watch.”

Before talking about how the dancing was or how the singing was, the stage was fun so naturally the immersion was good.

Lee Si-ah closed her mouth for a moment and looked around at the members standing on stage once.

Their relaxed appearances from earlier had disappeared completely, and they had somehow returned to being young chicks nervous about the judges’ evaluation.

Seeing them reminded her of the events during the training camp, and a smile naturally formed.

Lee Si-ah said.

“The all-night practice while applying ice treatment every night paid off, right?”

The members’ eyes widened and they soon brightened up, answering loudly.

“Yes!”

“You practiced every night while applying ice treatment?”

“Yeah, good job. Every time I saw you, you were always disheveled. Whenever I pointed out something, you’d practice all night to fix it and come back.”

Lee Si-ah answered on behalf of Ji-hoon’s words. Then she grinned.

“Seeing that effort, I can’t help but praise you.”

Originally she’s someone who values results more than process, but this time is different.

That’s how fiercely and desperately the members had practiced during the training camp.

“Thank you…”

The members choked up.

The person who had watched Flan-Shu most closely for a week and scolded them most harshly.

Nothing could make them happier than Lee Si-ah recognizing their efforts and praising them.

“You all worked really hard. I look forward to seeing the Flan-Shu members’ growth in the future.”

Knowing their feelings, Lee Si-ah finished her comment with a bright smile.

And the next person to take the microphone was So-hae.

“Yes, I also really enjoyed watching. I probably watched with the most immersion among all the judges. It was that interesting of a stage.”

“Thank you.”

“There’s really so much I want to say. First of all, I loved how you divided the group and brought each section to life as a whole.”

If it had been clumsy, it might have become a performance that would have been better left undone.

However, it was bold choreography with skillful showmanship that even conveyed a sense of ease that’s hard to see from trainees.

“Even though you’re clearly one team, you made the themes different for each group so that we could think ‘ah, this group, U&DA, FLORA, I MEET U has this kind of concept and atmosphere’ about your actual groups.”

She didn’t say more because it would go on endlessly if she got more specific, but they didn’t just execute choreography according to each group’s concept – they did it extremely well.

U&DA’s characteristic mature and sultry atmosphere didn’t leave any room for boredom even though there was almost no choreography.

FLORA truly allowed us to see a new side of the two members.

So-hae hadn’t known until now that Ryu Ji-ye could dance such bold and intense moves, or that Seo Ra-eun could show such presence.

Perhaps these were the two who seemed relatively weak in dance, overshadowed by the main dancers in FLORA.
