Just as Bae Juhyun instructed.
After chatting with Seong Taekyon again, Liu Xin’an started to gloss over things.
No matter what Seong Taekyon said, he always replied, "I’ll discuss it with my girlfriend first," successfully shutting down anything else Seong Taekyon wanted to say.
Indeed, such things definitely require the consent of Liu Xin’an’s girlfriend. Everyone’s goal was to hype things up. With more heat, it would be good for both Liu Xin’an and Bae Juhyun.
CPs can’t just be forced.
These days, many variety shows try to create a romantic atmosphere but fail. Liu Xin’an and Bae Juhyun had maxed-out luck, stumbling upon such a great opportunity. Otherwise, Seong Taekyon wouldn’t have suggested such a request.
After brushing off Seong Taekyon, Liu Xin’an put down the phone, and another call came in.
And the person calling this time made him frown.
He composed himself briefly, took a sip of water, cleared his throat, and answered the call.
"Oh, our little Liu, whose show became famous even before it aired, you must be busy today, huh?"
Director Yang’s teasing tone made Liu Xin’an smile wryly.
"Please don’t tease me. How did I just happen to get photographed?"
"It just means your luck is good."
"In the photo, you and Irene didn’t have any ambiguous interaction. The CP feeling people get is mostly their own imagination. You and Irene are clean; there won’t be any scandals."
"Do you think this is a good thing?"
"How should I put it? For me and the show, it’s definitely a good thing." Director Yang didn’t hide it. The buzz the photo generated was great for the show. You could even say it was free advertising.
Many young people who didn’t know about the show got to learn about it because of the increasingly viral photo. If even ten percent of them become viewers, it would be successful publicity.
"What about me and Irene?"
"For Irene, it’s definitely good. Those Korean idols are eager to develop their careers here, but for you... Your girlfriend isn’t mad, right?"
"She’s not mad. My girlfriend is actually a fan of Irene. She seems excited about me and Irene sharing the same frame..."
Liu Xin’an’s answer made Director Yang feel strange.
Are young people these days really that open?
Is this kind of thing... worth being happy about?
He suddenly felt disconnected from the times.
But if it didn’t affect Liu Xin’an, then it could also be a good opportunity for him.
"If your girlfriend isn’t mad, I think this is a good opportunity for you. Of course, as long as neither you nor Irene intentionally play it up. Let the netizens imagine everything themselves."
As long as they didn’t deliberately play it up, whatever fans imagined wouldn’t be problematic for either Liu Xin’an or Bae Juhyun.
There would even be a group of uninformed ’bystanders’ speaking up for them.
It’s well known that CP fans keep their fantasies to themselves.
If any CP fan flaunted their presence in front of the real individuals involved, they would be attacked.
"Not intentionally playing it up, but still letting fans imagine... Is that what you mean?"
Liu Xin’an felt a bit confused. Can such a complicated thing really be done? The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novelꞁire.net
"Uh, how about this: If both you and Irene are considering this, we can have a meeting sometime in the next couple of days."
"Oh? You mean letting Irene appear?"
Director Yang didn’t notice why Liu Xin’an suddenly cared about this. At that moment, his mind was full of thoughts on how to promote the show.
The unexpected exposure gave him some inspiration, and indeed, it was a great opportunity.
"Not in the main episodes, but in the behind-the-scenes or your special features, an appropriate appearance is fine."
"I see... I’ll ask Irene’s manager later."
"Alright, as long as you’re not affected. No need to rush to explain things to the fans. Let the matter simmer a bit first."
"Got it." Liu Xin’an agreed with a bitter smile.
Seong Taekyon said it would benefit Bae Juhyun, and now, the show’s chief director, Yang, also said it would benefit Bae Juhyun...
Would it affect him? Definitely, but the question was how much.
But for Bae Juhyun, a foreign artist, one wrong move could completely ruin her development here.
"I’ll get back to work, then."
"Alright, you go ahead."
After ending the call with Director Yang, Liu Xin’an finally had a brief moment of peace.
He tossed his phone onto the sofa and lazily leaned back against it, zoning out.
Li Chenglu called, Seong Taekyon called, and Director Yang called...
Everyone who cared about this should be accounted for, right?
Just as he thought this, the phone he had tossed aside started vibrating again.
Liu Xin’an stared at the phone in confusion. Seeing the name on the screen, he sighed deeply.
By the way, why is Twice’s manager so curious about this?
What does it have to do with Jaedeuk?
