The Chaebol’s Daughter Debuted
Episode 91
Then the members looked at me asking what I was talking about.
“How do you not know that?”
“Even May Rookie knows about it.”
“Huh?”
“The rumor spread everywhere.”
“They say Director Kim Ja-in personally cast you.”
I looked at the members with a dumbfounded expression.
Is that really something worth spreading rumors about?
Is Kim Ja-in such an amazing person?
‘I don’t know her though…’
Of course, for a celebrity, I’m almost at the level of an ordinary person who rarely sets foot in broadcasting stations.
I just knew she was a capable person in a high position, but I didn’t know she was famous enough for even trainees to know her.
Han Da-min said.
“She’s famous for being Senior Lena’s former manager. She personally discovered her and raised her to the top.”
“In the industry, she’s called almost like a god’s eye, god’s hand? She’s good at finding people with potential and raising them well.”
Min Ha-young said. But how does Min Ha-young know this?
I can understand Han Da-min knowing since she’s debuted, but Min Ha-young should be a clean ordinary person who’s never even entered an entertainment agency.
Then Min Ha-young immediately caught the meaning of my gaze and shrugged her shoulders.
“Just, my team members were talking about it like that.”
“The Crescendo members?”
“Yeah, when I heard that FLORA’s Ryu Ji-ye got cast by Director Kim Ja-in, I asked who that was and they told me. They said all the trainees know her.”
She must really be an amazing person.
To get cast by someone like that.
Of course, thinking back to the conversation and tone from that time, there are some unsettling aspects.
“But it is quite surprising. There’s still some time left before the competition ends, but casting offers are already coming in. And Director Kim Ja-in personally at that.”
“Still, the individual trainees participating in Start Plan have guaranteed skills, right? I bet the first year members who got eliminated first have already received calls from somewhere too.”
Hmm, that could be possible.
The first year members also passed through that fierce competition to become participants, so their skills are guaranteed and they’re young too.
‘I hope they went to good companies, not weird places.’
Thinking that, I was lifting my ade when Choi Song-i blocked my cup with her hand and asked.
“So unnie, are you going to MN?”
“Huh?”
“You got a casting offer. Are you going there?”
“Hmm…”
I put the ade back down.
“I’ll think about it. If we can’t debut together.”
“Eh? You don’t look particularly happy? You got cast by MN but you’re not happy? You said you wanted to go to MN.”
I nodded obediently to that.
Having experienced what level of support MN provides during this round, I honestly really wanted to go.
Enough that I casually mentioned it to Min Ha-young when she briefly visited.
But it was ambiguous whether they wanted to take me to MN Entertainment or if a trade was the goal from the start.
If I continue the competition a bit more, better condition offers might come in.
MN would be good. But I don’t want a trade.
It would be fortunate if they send me to a company of similar level, but I still don’t like it.
Any trainee has an entertainment agency that matches what they’re pursuing.
So I decided to just keep the business card for now.
I poked at my salad and said lightly as if making a casual joke.
“Just. We might win and debut.”
Then the members burst into laughter.
“That’s right! We even got 1st place today, so we could win too!”
Min Ha-young said energetically and leaned painfully hard against my shoulder. She swayed as if drunk, intoxicated by the excitement of 1st place.
“I really hope that happens!”
“…We can’t win though.”
Choi Song-i, who had already told the members once that the winning team was predetermined, muttered timidly, but all the members pretended not to know and giggled.
Then Han Da-min stroked my back and said.
“Still, if it’s Director Kim Ja-in, she’s really trustworthy, so try contacting her once. MN is really a good place. If you have dreams of debuting.”
“…Yes.”
We all actually know.
We’re laughing happily, but the reason one corner of our hearts aches is probably all because of that.
As Choi Song-i said, our victory is difficult.
No matter what methods we use.
Even if we borrow Hong Jin’s power, it’s hard to change the deep-rooted collusive relationship between SU and UNET and the results that are already scheduled with even the debut show being prepared.
‘I really have no intention of relying on my family’s power.’
And our FLORA is a temporary group that disbands if we don’t win.
Even if we do end up winning, we’ll just become a project group with a predetermined end.
So we must prepare for after Start Plan ends.
Han Da-min’s words were advice for this.
Don’t bet your future on low-probability hopes based on affection.
So I had no choice but to nod.
If I were still Hong Yeo-eun, her words would definitely be right.
But.
‘I absolutely won’t let it be that way.’
I am Ryu Ji-ye now.
I absolutely won’t let the members who are moving forward believing only in their dreams be put in an unreasonable situation.
Thinking that, my heart became a little calmer.
‘Don’t be anxious.’
With a sunken heart, I pondered the mission window’s phrase and steeled my resolve.
