▶ [20xx1217 Happy BORA Day! : A Day for Bora, by Bora, and of Bora!]
A new original content video was uploaded on OTube.
[Baek-young, Cheong, Geum, and Juhong: Hello! We are Forever Blue, Steel Blue!]
[Geum: Oh, where did our Bora go?! Hehe….]
[Baek-young: It’s Bora’s birthday tomorrow, so we are preparing a special event for her in advance.]
[Juhong: We were thinking about what Bora would like~]
[Cheong: We couldn’t figure it out, so we decided to ask her directly….]
Caption: Mysterious Sassumi Ryu Bo-ra….
[Baek-young: Anyway, that’s how we planned it! Today, everything Bora says will come true!]
[Juhong: But~ Bora won’t know that!]
Caption: Bora Day that only Bora doesn’t know…
[Geum: But she’s so quick-witted, she’ll figure it out right away, what should we do?]
[Cheong: For now… we’ll tell her it’s a casual content shoot where she can rest after her activities!]
[Geum: I wonder… what Ryu Bo-ra will do when she gets to rest…?]
Caption: Let’s find out now!
[Geum: Bo-ra, Bo-ra~]
The screen switched, and Kim Geum, holding the camera, knocked on Ryu Bo-ra’s door.
Caption: Manners Geum, who knocks first
Caption: A wild Bo-ra appears!
Ryu Bo-ra appeared without any makeup, wearing a comfortable white T-shirt and jeans.
[Bo-ra: …Camera?]
[Geum: Yep. Today’s my content~ Say hello to the fans.]
[Bo-ra: Aha. Hello~ fans!]
Caption: Ryu Pep-gyoung’s face lights up as soon as she mentions the fans
[Bo-ra: But what kind of content are you filming that you came to find me?]
[Geum: Today’s theme is! ‘What does Steel Blue do on vacation?!’ So, Ryu Bo-ra, what do you do to relax?!]
Suspicion briefly crossed Ryu Bo-ra’s eyes.
But she seemed to decide to go along with it and smiled again.
[Bo-ra: I like to write lyrics for songs composed by Geum or Cheong.]
[Geum: Ugh… that’s not a vacation!]
[Bo-ra: It is~ for me~^^]
[Geum: Other than that, isn’t there something you really want to do?]
Caption: Bo-ra in deep contemplation
[Bo-ra: I want to try hosting a birthday café.]
Caption: Geum Tiger shaking at the mention of a birthday
[Geum: A b-birthday café?]
[Bo-ra: Yes. Since my birthday is tomorrow, I wanted to open a birthday café and treat my fans to coffee. But the company cut the plan due to safety concerns….]
[Geum: Right. That was the plan that got rejected back then.]
[Bo-ra: We get more plans rejected by the company than you might think~^^ Colors cares so much for us~^^]
[Geum: C-calm down…]
Caption: When she gets angry, she’s not a deer but a roe deer.
[Geum: Is there anything else you want to do?!]
Caption: Geum refocuses
[Bo-ra: …I kind of want to watch a movie.]
[Geum: Right, you like movies and dramas!]
[Bo-ra: I like horror and thriller movies.]
[Geum: She always watches horror movies on OTT. With headphones… late at night….]
[Bo-ra: It’s fun. Personally, I recommend <Purple Room>. Maybe because it has my name, it’s fun.]
[Geum: …So you want to watch a horror movie?]
The screen switched to the living room, where three members were waiting for Kim Geum and Ryu Bo-ra.
The three members blinked innocently.
Caption: Guys… you’re in big trouble….
[Bo-ra: Well, that would be nice, but the members don’t like horror movies.]
[Geum: No! No! No!! Actually, Baek-young unnie suggested watching a horror movie earlier!]
[Bo-ra: …Really?]
[Geum: Yeah! In the living room! You can go out now and watch it together, right?!]
[Bo-ra: (Skeptical)]
Kim Geum successfully lured Ryu Bo-ra outside.
And shortly after.
[Baek-young: (Already fainted with her eyes open)]
[Juhong: Wow. That looks so real. What makeup did they use for that?!]
[Bo-ra: It’s special effects makeup… probably paint or something.]
[Geum: (Covering one eye with Yoon Cheong’s hair)]
[Geum: (Pretending not to watch while watching everything)]
[Cheong: (Surprisingly calm)]
[Bo-ra: Cheong unnie is watching well?]
[Cheong: I don’t get scared by ghosts.]
At those words, the four members’ eyes turned to Yoon Cheong.
[Cheong: I’m scared of people and… cotton balls.]
Caption: Cotton balls??
Caption: Cheong… are you afraid of dolls??
[Cheong: The movie’s over.]
[Baek-young: …Is it really over? Really?]
[Juhong: It wasn’t that scary?!]
[Geum: (Speechless)]
[Bo-ra: It wasn’t as bad as you thought, right?]
Caption: They don’t seem to think so, Bo-ra….
[Cheong: What do you want to do next?]
[Bo-ra: Is today a day for me to do what I want because it’s my birthday?]
[Members: !!!!!]
Caption: They. Got. Caught.
[Bo-ra: (Grinning…)]
[Bo-ra: Is that what it is….]
[Bo-ra: If that’s the case….]
[Bo-ra: Let’s go take ID photos.]
[Bo-ra: We can also prepare the photos for the college entrance exam application.]
Caption: So we prepared!
Caption: Bo-ra personally took ID photos of the members in the studio.
(Photos x5)
Caption: Bo-ra with golden hands…
[Geum: What the…. Why is Ryu Bo-ra also good at taking photos…?]
[Juhong: Wow, Bo-ra Bo-ra could make a living doing this even if she quits being an idol. But you must never quit. We are now destined to be together.]
[Cheong: (Moved, just staring at the photos)]
[Baek-young: But how do we take Bo-ra’s ID photo? We’re not good at taking pictures….]
Caption: Steel Blue fell into momentary silence….
[Juhong: Let’s each take a shot in turns!]
Caption: Thus, Bo-ra’s ID photos taken by Steel Blue were born.
Caption: Bo-ra’s scores are:
Yoon Cheong: 78 points (including a leader bonus)
Kim Geum: 12 points
Baek-young: 1 point
Juhong: 86 points
Caption: Keep improving, Steel Blue….

Ding!
One day, while Steel Blue was taking a break after finishing their activities.
A long post was uploaded on Colors’ official SNS account.
★
Colors
Hello, this is Kim Ryeo-yu.

Full text: www.colorsenter.com/notice/….
What the….
???
???ㅋㅋ??
First, I want to apologize to everyone who was troubled because of me. As an idol trainee, I deeply bow my head and apologize for causing concern to the public and the fans.
I also repeatedly apologize to those who waited for my position.
I cautiously begin to speak, thinking I can now tell the truth.
Sudden truth?
What truth is she talking aboutㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
She’s gearing up to come back
Colors, this is seriously wrong, isn’t it? There are things that can be covered up and things that can’t. Posting this on the official account?
First, I attach the statement of the person who claimed to be the victim on OTube.
(Photo)
As you can see from the statement above, the incident was merely a conflict between two inexperienced trainees.
The real reason for the conflict between the person claiming to be the victim and me was not due to debut competition but personal relationship issues.
Of course, I know that all the things I did cannot be justified, regardless.
It was a time of deep reflection on my immaturity and youth.
I will make sure this never happens again.
I thank and apologize to the many fans who still support me.
I will make sure to never disappoint you again.
Sincerely, Kim Ryeo-yu
★
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is just laughable…
If you’re really sorry, please just don’t come back
No, look at this wording, “the person claiming to be the victim”ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Does this look like the attitude of someone who has genuinely reflected?
The victim probably agreed because dealing with this mess was too hard, and she’s taking advantage of that
No, Steel Blue already debuted… just let go of your attachment
But no matter how hard you try, the debut is over… Colors already has a girl group out, and it’ll take another five years to bring out another one…
Did the corporation write this? It’s a total mess.
Colors’ legal team can’t write for crap
As long as she doesn’t join Steel Blue, it’s fine. If she does, I’ll burn Colors down.
└ For real
Various communities and SNS were briefly heated, then quickly cooled down.
Just ignore it, it’s the best way
It’s clear that people thought Kim Ryeo-yu had no chance of debuting anyway.
Seriously.. it’s disheartening, blindly believing everything cyber reporters say and bashing the girl. When did people start trusting those reports?
People just believe what they want. Killing a talented, pretty, young girl, you’ll do anything, right?
We don’t want her joining our group eitherㅋㅋ; She has enough talent to go solo, no need to shove her into a bottom-tier group.
Of course, the few remaining fans of Kim Ryeo-yu became more steadfast.
Believing that Kim Ryeo-yu would return someday.
“…”
And watching all of this in silence, was Director Kim.

Next Friday at 11 PM, Mnet’s new show “Top of Idol” will air.
The appearing girl groups & female solo artists (announced list):
Sugar Dream
Hi Hi Ho
Steel Blue
Cha-yul
1 Unannounced Girl Group
1 Unannounced Solo Artist
Total 6 teams
Episode 8 scheduled to air
MC: Shin Yuhwa
Other groups are all top-tier, but there’s one bottom-tier group mixed in there
└ Please stop with the top-tier, second-tier nonsense. Your life is bottom-tier.
Other groups and solo artists usually hit number one on music shows, but suddenly there’s Hi Hi Ho.
└ For real, suddenly an unknown groupㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Cha-yul is practically the top solo artist right now.. why is she even appearing hereㅠㅠ
└ Exactly… It’s a no-win situation ㅅㅂㅠㅠㅠㅠ It’s sad to be in a small company…
Steel Blue just finished a survival show, and now they’re in another oneㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└ Ha…………………
But why is Shin Yuhwa the MC? It’s a girl group survival show, do they really need a boy group member as the MC?
└ Exactly, there are so many successful girl group seniors they could choose instead…
└└ We weren’t exactly thrilled either^^ We were wondering why your hair-pulling girls weren’t appearing.
└└└ Then cut your hair off;; It’s surprising.
★
But what about the unannounced artists? They’re baiting us to watch the broadcast. No thanks.
An unannounced group..? If they’re trying to increase recognition by including some debut-less group, just stop, Mnet, please.
Why are our Steel Blue girls even appearing on this…? They’re at the peak of their success right now… why…?
└ Because it’s produced by Colors.
└└ Ah ㅅㅂ damn Colors.
I suddenly became a 20-something woman shivering at Colors.
The narrative is too predictable to be fun.. Since it’s produced by Colors, they’ll pour all the storyline onto Steel Blue, giving them the image of resilient girls enduring a second survival show. So predictable.
As a fan of boy groups, this is like a horror movie trailer. I feel like we’re next.
└ For realㅋㅋ
└└ Knock on woodㅠㅠ Throw beans, throw salt..
└└└ A hundred percent Baneish will appear, and they’ll make Lee Sol or Do Hee-young the MCㅋ So boring.
But if Hi Hi Ho and Yoon Cheong meet, it’ll be hilariousㅋㅋ
I’ll watch the broadcast just for that.
Why?? Why would it be fun?
└ Yoon Cheong was in the debut lineup for Hi Hi Ho but didn’t make it.
└└ Really? That unknown group..?
You never know what’ll happenㅋㅋ Not debuting from there was a blessing in disguise.
For real, it’s practically a revenge story from the start. If Steel Blue crushes them here, it’ll be a satisfying storylineㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
But didn’t Jo Hee-on mention Hi Hi Ho during “Make a New Color,” and Yoon Cheong’s expression wasn’t good?
└ There’s a rumor they didn’t part on good terms.
└└? From where?
└└└ No verified sources, just rumors.
Huh, they say the unannounced solo is KRY.
?? Is this real?
What are you talking about… How could Kim Ryeo-yu appear?
└ I have a friend on the Top Idol production team, and they said it’s true; they saw her.
└└ Stop with the fake stories.
But it turned out to be true.
