The Chaebol’s Daughter Debuted
Episode 89
But I think that’s understandable.
Because Neobeat’s Dream Chase is a band song.
I don’t know who selected the song, but what were they thinking when they put that in?
Could there have been trap songs hidden in each box?
A band song that’s neither dance, ballad, nor pop.
Moreover, it’s a solo vocal band song with no part distribution, so naturally there’s no choreography.
This type of song is difficult to bring to life as a competition song no matter how much you arrange it, and it’s extremely hard to cover because the original vocalist’s color is too strong.
No matter how you cover it, unless you have a vocalist with a stronger tone than the original, it will inevitably feel lacking somewhere.
It was natural for May Rookie and I Meet You, who had always appealed with high-difficulty dances rather than vocals, to show such reactions.
“Team B’s song is Neon Beat’s Dream Chase, a song with a very cool band sound! Trainee Ja-yeon, please return to your seat.”
Ja-yeon returned to her seat with a quite serious expression, bowing her head.
“Amid fierce competition that’s expected!”
The venue became noisy due to the song selection.
Announcer Choi Gyu-jin, who had somehow moved to the center of the platform, spoke loudly as if shouting.
The trainees flinched and closed their mouths.
Announcer Choi Gyu-jin smiled brightly.
“I’m really looking forward to seeing what kind of unique stages our trainees will show in Round 4. As the host of Start Plan, I too will wait with anticipation for the next round.”
Ta-da-!
In sync with Announcer Choi Gyu-jin’s words, Start Plan’s ending BGM began to flow.
“Then, lights of Start Plan, dear viewers, we’ll meet you again in Round 4. Thank you!”
After finishing his closing remarks, the jib camera rose high to capture a full shot of the set studio.
A moment later.
“…Cut!”
With the director’s satisfied shout, the long filming session finally came to an end.
***
After filming ended, the trainees quickly scattered, following their respective agency staff.
The speed at which they disappeared was twice as fast as usual, probably because they were hurrying to discuss their next stage.
While the trainees with agencies frantically disappeared from the set studio, we, being independent, just stood there blankly waiting for everyone to leave.
“There’s no rush, so let’s go down after everyone leaves.”
All the members agreed with Han Da-min’s words.
Even if we left now, the elevator would be packed with people and we’d have to wait a long time anyway.
‘Then now, slowly…’
Should I do what I need to do?
Before coming here, I had gathered some information through Reporter Choi Gyo-young.
It was very important and useful information for me, so I planned to check it as soon as filming ended.
Just as I was about to take out my phone from my bag, I heard Han Da-min’s excited voice.
“By the way, guys, we’re going to eat together today, right?”
Ah, right.
I quietly put the phone I was about to take out back in.
Come to think of it, we had definitely said we’d have a meal together after filming this time.
Especially since we prepared for the competition separately this time, we probably had a lot to say to each other.
“Ah, of course! I’ve been waiting for Flora’s dinner gathering!”
“Yes! I was actually really looking forward to it too!”
Min Ha-young and Seo Ra-eun said with sparkling eyes.
Moreover, Choi Song-i raised the corners of her mouth in a grin, then smugly took out a card from her wallet.
“Yes, I cleared my schedule. Mother gave me a card too. I’ll pay for the meal. She said it’s okay even if we eat something expensive.”
“Wow! Choi Song-i is the best!”
“Oh, really? I was going to pay! Since Mother said she’d treat us, I’ll do it next time! Haha!”
“Uh, could you tell Mother thank you on our behalf?”
Even Choi Song-i seemed very excited and had been looking forward to this day.
‘Ah, it’s hard to get back in once you leave the broadcasting station…’
Can’t be helped, I guess. It’s not like today is the only opportunity.
It’s not that urgent anyway, so I’ll check during the next competition.
“Yes, let’s go. I have plenty of time too.”
While speaking to the members, I casually turned my gaze to look around at the production staff who were cleaning up the filming location.
In the distance, I saw a figure moving around more busily than anyone else.
“Beom-tae, bring some tape over here!”
“Yes!”
“Beom-tae, come here for a moment. While you’re getting the tape, take this to PD Jung on the second floor. It’s urgent, so hurry!”
“Yes? Ah, PD Jung… But I…”
“What are you doing not coming quickly! I’m busy here!”
The person called Beom-tae was at a loss with the tape already in his hands, but eventually accepted the file folder his senior handed him.
Then he glanced at his senior and hurried to the person who had requested the tape while the senior wasn’t looking.
“Senior, here’s the tape…”
Then the person called senior absentmindedly received the tape and frowned deeply while glaring at him.
“What are you doing? I wasn’t talking about this tape! Filming is over, so what am I supposed to do with this? Bring adhesive tape, man.”
“Ah…”
“Don’t make stupid sounds and go get it quickly!”
“Yes…”
He timidly scratched the back of his head and started running again with awkward steps.
Junior PD Gu Beom-tae, who looked naive and always wore the same colored t-shirt.
‘That person, right?’
According to Reporter Choi Gyo-young…
Gu Beom-tae was the person who knew about my identity and was the culprit who leaked this information to Reporter Choi Gyo-young and Choi Song-i’s father.
“PD Gu Beom-tae has been frequenting the broadcasting station since before he was hired. He has deep connections here – his parents are a broadcasting station PD and a veteran social affairs reporter. He sees things himself and also hears from his mom and dad. Anyway, he’s incredibly well-informed about rumors and the truth. If you gently probe and match the conversation, the information you want pops out quickly, so he’s quite useful.”
“I heard about Ji-ye from PD Gu too. Most people who know besides reporters heard it from him.”
Reporter Choi Gyo-young had said that with a face that showed he couldn’t understand it at all.
“Anyway, he’s a really~ strange person. If I were that well-informed, I’d sell the information for money. Money isn’t his goal either. It’s not like he wants something in return. He just spills big stories for no particular reason, you know? I don’t know why he does it.”
A junior PD who spreads big entertainment industry rumors everywhere for no reason.
Isn’t that too suspicious?
So during the training camp, I asked Ryu Jae-geum to look into various things.
And there was one.
A reason.
‘Ha, they say enemies meet on a narrow bridge.’
Who would have thought I’d meet him at the broadcasting station.
I was grinding my teeth inwardly when.
“…Ji-ye, what are you doing not going?”
Seo Ra-eun’s hand carefully wrapped around my arm.
Ah, right. The dinner gathering. I quickly turned my head and smiled brightly.
“It’s nothing.”
Then Seo Ra-eun smiled back at me too.
“Let’s go. The elevator should be less crowded now.”
“Yes.”
I gave Gu Beom-tae one last emotional glare before following the members out of the venue.
“Ra-eun and I looked up a decent Western restaurant nearby. If you’re okay with it, we were thinking of going there.”
“If you don’t like Western food, just tell us honestly. Just in case, we also found a BBQ restaurant!”
“We’re fine with anywhere! Western food sounds good.”
“I want to try something called gambas. My mom said it has too much oil and told me not to eat it.”
“You’ve never had gambas? Is that on the menu? If it is, let’s order it!”
And just as we were leaving the broadcasting station following the members.
Ding!
