Raising a Neglected Singer-Songwriter Episode 117

117. Blooming

Five girls who had been huddled together in a circle with their eyes slightly closed opened their mouths to the sound of a bell ringing softly.

“I’ve been waiting for a long time.”

“This heart that I have cherished.”

“Now I’ll show you.”

“The country has flowers.”

The four people surrounding Jin Ha-neul, the center, take turns opening their eyes and singing the verse one verse at a time.

After that, only the screen effect of raindrops falling one by one on a pitch-black background was displayed.

It was the complete opposite of the previous [FEST] team’s stage, where they ran around the stage without rest.

The static image on top of the hazy melody was enough to arouse the curiosity of the on-site evaluation panel.

What kind of song is it?

What kind of performance are you trying to show?

The girls’ song continued, raising expectations.

Once again, four girls sing in a circular fashion in order.

Before we knew it, the verse had passed and the chorus was approaching.

At that time, the audience’s curiosity also grew.

Swish-

Finally, Jin Ha-neul, who was standing in the center, slowly opened his eyes.

At the same time, her lips uttered a chorus.

“Bloom the world!”

Jin Ha-neul’s vocals were the signal for full-fledged dance moves.

The four people who were attached to Jin Ha-neul made graceful curves with their arms and spun around, falling off one by one in all directions.

Then, the pure white silk cloth wrapped around her waist began to flutter in a circular motion, causing five rotations on the stage.

The appearance is like-

“Wow! I got it! This is a representation of a flower bud blooming!”

“When we’re all together, we’re like flower buds, and as the chorus begins, the petals open one by one and we bloom!”

“Crazy! So pretty!”

The audience let out gasps as they realized the identity of the choreography.

The meaning of this stage began to become clear to their eyes.

The flower bud girls who are trainees.

That it finally captures the moment when it blooms into a beautiful, sparkling flower.

“Okay, there was no mistake.”

Likee, who participated in [BLOOM]’s choreography, whistled and the corners of his lips twitched.

Jaymin, sitting next to him, also looks pleased with the girls’ choreography.

“What is it? Why is this song so good? And why are the kids so pretty? I feel like crying.”

Meanwhile, vocal mentor Hailey was wiping away tears in a fit of rage.

Because the girls’ stage reminded me of the journey of the past few months.

Because she had been watching closely how much the children had suffered and worked hard, her sensitivity exploded.

“Sometimes it can be shaky.”

“But I will endure it.”

The girls’ song gradually builds to a climax.

Finally, the highest notes of the bridge part are revealed.

“Let the country bloom flowers into the world!”

Jin Ha-neul sang a refreshing high note with her long hair flowing.

At the same time, the back screen was filled with colorful flowers, turning into a splendid garden.

Among them, Jin Ha-neul’s brightly smiling appearance was just like a flower fairy.

And the near future.

Today’s stage was defined as follows by a critic (idol fan):

That was the moment when the ‘fairy’ was born.

After the stage is over,

“I thought I was watching your debut stage. So innocent, soft, and elegant…”

“Ah, I thought, this is the idol I’ve been wanting to see. It was a performance that really touched my heart. I enjoyed it.”

“I think the person who personally caught my eye on this stage was Jin Ha-neul, who took center position. Her ability to express songs has improved by leaps and bounds since the last 5th round, and she stood out in this song as well.”

“The chorus part, which was the killing part, and the high notes of the bridge were also well-done.”

The mentors each gave their comments.

[FEST] composer and special mentor Zik also attended –

“I think it was a stage where the excitement that started from Sungjun’s song blossomed into full bloom when it met the choreography of the petals blooming.”

He left behind a famous quote:

Lastly, Sungjun picked up the microphone.

Seongjun slowly opened his mouth as he made eye contact with the five girls on stage one by one.

“It was beautiful. I think [BLOOM] was brought to life much more beautifully than I had imagined. As a composer, I want to thank you for creating such a wonderful stage.”

And then, when he showed his signature gesture of giving a thumbs up, the girls’ faces broke into bright smiles like flowers.

Then, the [FEST] team that had been waiting came down to the stage and stood in a line.

Behind the girls, the scores of the girl in first place from each team and the team scores were revealed on the screen.

Team [FEST] – 2,700 points

1. Iharu: 677 points

Team [BLOOM] – 2,650 points

1. Jin Ha-neul: 672 points

A total of seven mentors, including special mentor Zig, each with 100 points.

The team score is calculated by adding up the individual scores out of a total of 700 points and recalculating them based on the number of people.

The final team score is the score of the on-site evaluation team added up to a full 100 points.

As a result of the first mission, the [FEST] team was narrowly ahead by only 50 points.

Meanwhile, it was somewhat predicted through the judges’ comments from the previous stage that Lee Haru and Jin Ha Neul would take first place in their respective teams.

“Isn’t this the first time that Sky Unnie’s unit has won first place?”

“Congratulations, sis!”

The team members wave their congratulations to Jin Ha-neul, who has a bewildered expression.

Jin Ha-neul blinked her eyes as if she couldn’t believe it, even as she was shaking back and forth like buckwheat jelly.

“Next up is the second mission, the global K-POP mission. Will the [BLOOM] team be able to turn things around on this stage? Or will the [FEST] team maintain their upper hand? See you later!”

Ye-seon Ha leads the broadcast with smooth progress.

The staff informed the on-site evaluation team that it would take 30 minutes for the girls to regroup and change into their uniforms.

A little later.

The nine girls reappeared on stage in new costumes.

Then the prepared stage unfolded.

The on-site evaluation panel once again expressed their enthusiastic response to the excellent quality that was no less than the new song mission.

“With this, both missions are complete. So, I will reveal the final results now.”

At the declaration of the preliminary round, numbers shot up on the screen.

The team competition results from the two stages combined were revealed.

Team [FEST] – 5,555 points

Team [BLOOM] – 5,544 points

Team [FEST] WIN

“I won!”

“iced coffee···.”

Cheers and sighs, joy and sorrow are mixed.

It was a very narrow score difference of 11 points, but

In the end, the [FEST] team took the final victory.

“[FEST] Team will be awarded 1,000 benefit points.”

After a fierce fight, the four girls won and obtained the spoils.

Without even a moment to be happy or sad, the trainee rankings reflecting the benefits were immediately revealed.

Seongjun’s eyes lit up as he checked the rankings that had been lined up.

1. This day

2. Jinhaneul

···

‘Oh, good!’

Even though I lost the match and didn’t receive any benefits,

Jin Ha-neul took second place, continuing from last time.

A higher ranking than expected.

‘At this level, I think I can aim for first place in the final round!’

It was thanks to Jin Ha-neul’s expressive power that exploded starting from the last stage.

The potential that I saw when we first met is gradually being realized.

Seongjun clenched his fist.

Meanwhile, today again, a tearful farewell ceremony took place.

The lowest ranked trainee from the defeated [BLOOM] team will come down from his long journey with today’s stage.

“great job.”

“Ugh, please debut for me too, unnies.”

The girls comfort, console and cheer each other on.

It was a time when I was looking at that sight with a feeling of sadness but also a sense of joy.

Tiring-

‘uh?’

A notification sound that I had forgotten about for a while struck my ears.

A system message appeared against the backdrop of the girls sharing their friendship.

[A special mission has arrived.]

[Guess the expected debut member of the new girl group.]

[Reward: Broken Music Box Mainspring]

‘what?!’

Seongjun let out a silent exclamation.

The compensation is the parts of a broken music box…!

As expected, it was obtained through a mission.

This mission must be completed at all costs.

I calmed down my excitement and looked closely at the mission details.

‘Guess the expected debut member?’

Seongjun frowns slightly.

Then, holograms of names appeared next to the eight surviving girls.

As I lifted my finger and placed it against Jinhaneul’s name, another system window opened.

[My Favorite Girls]

Jin Ha-neul

···

‘As expected. Adding is like this. Then when canceling-‘

This time, when I clicked on Jin Ha-neul’s name on the list, the name was removed from the list and reappeared next to Jin Ha-neul’s body.

It was a familiar mechanism.

‘In other words, it’s a game where you have to guess 5 out of 8.’

The odds aren’t too bad.

Because the top three are already decided.

However, the other two have to rely purely on intuition.

Memories of mentoring so far and trends in global voting.

When I comprehensively considered today’s stage and everything else…

‘Um······. Okay, I’ve decided.’

Seongjun’s hand moved slowly after he finished thinking.

The list was filled with the names of five girls.

*

This was the first time that ‘My Favorite Girl’ recruited an on-site evaluation team.

Because of this, various reviews and comments began to appear in the community without stopping.

– I saw a celebrity for the first time and I was crazy. Ye-seon was really handsome, and Sung-jun and the MonZ guys were super handsome!

n I went to the set. It was really well decorated. The fairy forest was really pretty, but I couldn’t take pictures, so it’s too bad ㅜㅠ

No, is it true that they only picked 100 people?

N The winners. Aren’t they all acquaintances of the production staff?

From light reviews of celebrities and stories from the set.

– I went today and saw the stage of Min-ae and changed my debut pick. It’s Jin Ha-neul in.

N It’s late. Welcome to REAL SKY.

N Then who is out?

N Shh. That’s a secret.

N I’m so jealous of you, Miss. I also applied for the on-site evaluation team ㅜㅠ

– But Jin Ha-neul’s expressiveness was criticized, I think it was the directing. Was his expressiveness crazy?

n In the first real song, Haneul grabbed the center by the collar and carried it

N Why, how was it? Spoiler please

n I’ll give you a hint in just two letters. Opening

N Flower? You turned into a dog?

N you idiotㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

It was mainly about impressions of the main stage and some thrilling spoilers.

Meanwhile, the composers who participated in the new song mission also came up.

– Who was the composer of the new song Mission?

N jk and sj

N Those two? Are you crazy? Is this a ‘Who’s the King’ rematch? LOL So who won this time?

N Zik’s song was good too. In my opinion, Sungjun. He writes girl group songs really well.

N I admit, there is one song that really gets you hooked that is top tier in Korea.

N I finally found out your real nameㅋㅋㅋㅋ

In particular, there was a lot of favorable reviews for ‘BLOOM’ composed by Sungjun.

– Anyway, I think MXM Entertainment will decide on the kids’ image after seeing the reactions on site and on the music source today, but I think it will be towards the second song.

ㄴ Well, it was a fairy concept from the beginning.

N Oh my, I’m so jealous of your intuition. I have to wait until next weekㅜㅠ

n You will definitely succeed in attending the final mission. Just wait until the madness starts!

Lastly, they made predictions about how the girls’ future activities will be decided, and even expressed their burning will to participate in the final mission draw.

For the first time in a while, the community is lively.

Meanwhile, there was another gallery that was burning hot along with the ‘Favorite Girls’ gallery.

[Subtle Girl Gallery]

This was the gallery of the girl group, Mimyosonyeo, who recently announced their comeback.

Originally, it was a gallery that was barely breathing with only a small but elite fandom remaining.

But these days, dozens of new articles are posted every day.

The cause was a music video teaser video released on YouTube a few days ago.

The background of the 30-second video is a gray city.

In the black and white monotone, the faces of the four members of Mimyosoyeon, dressed in all black, are shown one by one.

Then all four people raise their index fingers and put them to their lips.

fizzle-

A short chorus melody is heard at that time.

– In your heart, quietly

Then, the song title and the comeback date appear like shadows under the streetlights.

Subtle Girl

CAT WALK

D-7

The comeback of the subtle girl is approaching.
