This was something Bae Juhyun could do, he was sure of it.
Liu Xin’an took out his phone, thought for a moment but did not dial Bae Juhyun’s number to confirm the authenticity of the matter. Instead, he continued to purse his lips while watching the video that dissected him and Bae Juhyun thoroughly.
Hmm... Honestly, it’s quite outrageous.
He wanted to see just how much more outrageous it could get.
"Assuming this hairpin is a gift prepared by Xin’an for ’Bamboo,’ and ’Bamboo’ is Irene... doesn’t it all make sense and sound reasonable?"
"Well... of course, all this assumes my premise holds true, it might just be a coincidence... As for appearance and what we can see, that’s about it."
"Besides that, there’s one more thing I think is easy to notice, and that is... the voice."
"I know many viewers don’t find ’Bamboo’ and Irene’s voices particularly similar, but you have to know, artists like Irene who have undergone professional training know how to change their voice... Don’t think this is something miraculous, there are actually many tutorials on this online."
"When Xin’an first introduced ’Bamboo’ to everyone, she didn’t speak at all. Then in their first couple vlog, where they cooked together... Xin’an altered ’Bamboo’s’ voice. If anyone watched that video, they should’ve noticed this."
"But after that, Xin’an didn’t do such a thing anymore. The question is... why did Xin’an protect ’Bamboo’ so thoroughly?"

The video was nearing its end. Apart from the hairpin on Bae Juhyun’s head, everything else was not much different from what Liu Xin’an had expected.
At the end of the video, all the so-called "evidence" disappeared, and the screen went pitch black. The uploader’s voice rang out.
"I made this video not to hammer out any conclusive evidence because Xin’an didn’t do anything wrong. If my guess is correct and ’Bamboo’ is really Irene, I fully understand why Xin’an would protect her so rigorously..."
"So this video is just my personal speculation. If there are any negative impacts later, I will delete this video to prevent further escalation."
"I hope everyone who watched the video remains rational. Please don’t harass Xin’an and ’Bamboo,’ let alone Irene with relentless questions... That’s it for this video. If you’re interested in Xin’an’s story, check out my past videos. Remember to like, comment, and subscribe~"
The voice abruptly stopped. Liu Xin’an pursed his lips and did not follow the uploader’s suggestion to like, comment, and subscribe. Instead, he scrolled to the comment section.
[Summary: Watch it yourself]
[In short, a bunch of coincidences led the uploader to this conclusion? Lol!]
[I think it’s real. If all these are just coincidences, it’s too far-fetched. But if we assume ’Bamboo’ is Irene, everything makes sense!]
[Don’t you understand the principle of presumption of innocence? Without evidence, you can’t just talk nonsense. I don’t think ’Bamboo’ has any relation to this K-pop artist.]
[As a fan of Irene... I kinda hope it’s true because Xin’an is indeed a great guy]
[Indeed, can’t imagine Juhyun marrying a Korean. I’d rather she marries someone local]
Most commenters were just there for the fun and didn’t take the matter too seriously.
Of course, it could also be because the video had only been up for half an hour, so it hadn’t gained much traction.
Liu Xin’an was deep in thought when his phone’s vibration jolted him out of it.
Calling him was... Li Chenglu.
After all, with the group chat exploding, it was natural that Li Chenglu would see the video.
Liu Xin’an didn’t hesitate and answered the call, "Hello?"
"Did you see the group chat?"
Li Chenglu got straight to the point.
"Yeah, I just finished watching the video. That viewer has sharp eyes to notice the hairpin detail."
"... How can you be so nonchalant? Your relationship with Irene has been exposed! My god..."
Li Chenglu was genuinely distressed. She had been worried about this for a long time.
If it became public in front of the fans, the one truly affected would be Bae Juhyun.
She was making a comeback, and there was only a month left until then.
This was the crucial time when nothing should go wrong!
Not to mention that Bae Juhyun was already the most popular member in the group, and this comeback was Red Velvet’s first after their contract renewal. The results would significantly impact future activities and resources!
If Red Velvet’s comeback didn’t meet expectations because of this, Bae Juhyun and the others might get fewer resources in the future.
"Don’t worry, don’t worry. I don’t plan to respond to this video, and neither will Juhyun."
"... Not responding won’t make it go away! What are you thinking!?"
If this really escalated, ignoring it wouldn’t solve the problem. Li Chenglu scoffed at Liu Xin’an’s approach.
"Without conclusive evidence, Juhyun and I don’t need to respond. Let people talk; it can even boost our popularity."
Liu Xin’an was no longer the novice who hastily clarified things. He understood how this situation could bring a lot of attention to Bae Juhyun’s comeback.
Just as he said, without definitive evidence, no one could conclusively say ’Bamboo’ was Bae Juhyun.
It was still under control, and Liu Xin’an wasn’t worried at all.
