It wasn't only the audience that Aerine caught the attention of, but even more so the attention of the director and staff of the show. They were more perceptive to the audience's feedback and ratings.
Blythe and other established artists were still popular according to the trending topics, but Aerine was undoubtedly the most trending newbie as of the moment.
If one could compare, she and Blythe were the most talked about in the show. It said a lot as the two started in the show with an obvious gap, with Blythe having her own fanbase while Aerine didn't have anyone.
This was indeed an unexpected surprise. Although the director was slightly disappointed not to have Raine in the show, this news undeniably eased his worries greatly.
The next day, Aerine prepared herself for the live show. And this time, Mils finally showed up.
