"Hmm, the second question... Any plans to get married in the near future... What kind of question is this?"
If she hadn’t asked Seong Taekyon beforehand, Bae Juhyun would have really thought that this was a question from a troublemaker.
It’s not that she didn’t want to marry Liu Xin’an, but the main issue was that this question was a bit too early.
This December marks just one year of them being together, and with Red Velvet doing so well now, she would have to be crazy to get married early and interrupt her career.
Liu Xin’an, who was appearing on the show with her, burst into laughter upon hearing this question. However, he didn’t joke about it since it’s a sensitive topic and not something to be spoken about lightly.
"There’s no rush to get married, let’s wait until we can’t dance on stage anymore."
Bae Juhyun glanced at her boyfriend and then secretly wrote the word "lie" on a piece of paper off-camera, indicating she was just pacifying the fans.
The exact timing of the wedding... well, that depends on when Liu Xin’an proposes!
But as she said, it’s too early to be considering these things now.
"Alright, next question... Will you ever appear in a couple’s variety show with Xin’an?"
Bae Juhyun turned over the paper with the word "lie" written on it, placed it aside, picked up the third question cue card, and read it out loud with a peculiar tone.
"Couple’s variety show? Well, we don’t decide these things, it depends on how the company arranges it for us."
For difficult questions, you directly push it onto the company. This was advice given to her by Seong Taekyon.
After shirking the responsibility, Bae Juhyun curiously asked, "But, do you really want to see us participate in a variety show together?"
[We really want to see it!]
[Is there a possibility that we just want to see Irene on the show, we can accept the program without Liu Xin’an]
[Following celebrities is too tiring, might as well watch the people we like being together, I’ll send you money regularly]
[Let me cover Irene’s dating expenses!]
[Irene, you don’t appear often enough, please work more]
[It’s such a waste to keep that beautiful face unused]
[If Irene doesn’t show up more, I’ll start liking the newly debuted kids]
"Oh~ I can’t stop you from switching to new idols, right... Go ahead and like the new kids."
Bae Juhyun said pitifully, though her words were generous, her face looked so aggrieved that it was hard to respond harshly.
"I’ll come out more often in the future, please don’t find me annoying then."
[Irene is very popular in China now, will you consider developing your career in China in the future?]
There are quite a few Chinese people who can understand Korean, and to those fans, Bae Juhyun dating a Chinese person already made them very happy. If they could see more of Bae Juhyun in China in the future, they might be even happier!
And the fans saying Bae Juhyun is very popular here was not an exaggeration, this was something Liu Xin’an could attest to, because ever since they went public, many domestic shows have reached out to him.
In principle, Korean artists are almost not allowed to participate in domestic variety shows, but in this regard... various programs started their word games.
Things like inviting Bae Juhyun as "Liu Xin’an’s girlfriend" to participate in shows... without using her artist identity.
Of course, this kind of proposal was immediately rejected by Liu Xin’an without even thinking.
Beyond the regular shows, some vloggers also wanted to interview Liu Xin’an, some food vloggers even considered flying to Korea directly.
Hmm... Maybe those vloggers are fans of Bae Juhyun, and they want to take the opportunity to meet their idol?
Liu Xin’an reasonably suspected so.
"I’m working very, very hard to learn Chinese now. If there’s a chance and my Chinese meets the standard, I’d love to meet you all as soon as possible."
Making big promises is a fundamental skill for any artist. No matter what, just make the promise first. In this regard, artists are actually not much different from some creative professionals.
Like a certain Liu-named vlogger who thinks only about streaming and not making videos, or a certain author who always claims to work hard but is actually slacking off playing games every day...
Ahem, we’ve gone off-topic.
"How do you think my Chinese is now?" Bae Juhyun suddenly asked Liu Xin’an standing next to her.
Liu Xin’an was taken aback and instinctively replied, "First grade?"
Bae Juhyun initially wanted Liu Xin’an to praise her and boost her confidence, but unexpectedly her boyfriend was so honest!
Actually, Liu Xin’an regretted his words right after he said them, mainly because her sudden question caught him off guard.
He hadn’t even had time to think, just instinctively spoke the truth.
After calming down, Liu Xin’an tried to remedy the situation.
"But... this level mainly refers to vocabulary, the environment is different, although in terms of vocabulary, you’re like a first-grader, but..."
The more Liu Xin’an spoke, the quieter his voice became, mainly because he realized he couldn’t redeem the situation.
Bae Juhyun stared coldly at Liu Xin’an until his voice trailed off.
"... Let’s look at the next question!" Liu Xin’an chose to bail.
Then he received a huff from his girlfriend.
Her pouting look made the fans watching the live stream burst into laughter.
Most of the time, Bae Juhyun appeared mature and composed, but occasionally, she would show a childish side.
