Don’t assume that just because they are professionals, they will remember all the songs they’ve performed in the past by heart.
When it comes to dance, if there’s a break in between, the body may still remember, but subjectively, you can really forget.
That’s why revisiting is a very important step at this time.
In the car, songs were being played on loop, and Bae Juhyun and Kang Seulgi were earnestly, unconsciously singing along while slowly swaying their bodies to the music.
Bae Juhyun being this serious was something Liu Xin’an rarely saw.
"About 20 more minutes and we’ll be at the venue. When does the event start?"
"About two hours left, no rush. You haven’t eaten yet, have you?"
Kim Mihan, sitting in the passenger seat, also glanced at her watch and asked quietly.
"Hmm... I’ll eat after the event. What’s Seulgi’s plan after the event?"
"Going back to Seoul. She still has some work to do, not much, but she needs to be on standby in Seoul."
Liu Xin’an nodded, feeling slightly embarrassed.
To be honest, S-M giving Bae Juhyun such a long break is somewhat because of him.
"Do you need me to take you to the airport?"
"No need, someone will come to pick us up. There’s also a company branch here."
Liu Xin’an nodded and continued focusing on driving.
Soon, he parked the car steadily in the mall’s parking lot and quickly got out of the car.
At the same time, knowing they had arrived, Bae Juhyun and Kang Seulgi jumped out of the car. They were wearing coats that tightly covered their performance outfits.
"Bad Boy" is a song with a strong style, so for the outfit, Bae Juhyun went with an all-black ensemble today.
Wearing black stiletto heels, Bae Juhyun had on black leather pants and a loose dark purple oversized T-shirt with a slouchy look, exposing a shoulder, looking both sexy and glamorous.
"Let’s go meet the organizers first," Kim Mihan said, as she was the assistant and manager mainly responsible for taking Bae Juhyun and the others to the event, while Liu Xin’an was... there to carry bags.
Yes, he was indeed carrying bags, holding a big bag in each hand, filled with items for Bae Juhyun and Kang Seulgi.
Probably because his outfit was too outrageous, during the meeting with the organizers, the MC hosting the event and the mall representative didn’t even show any interest in Liu Xin’an, the tall man behind Bae Juhyun who seemed like an assistant.
The most absurd part was when the MC, who knew Bae Juhyun, the host of the event, even asked her gossipily, "Didn’t your boyfriend come along? I saw in the news you seemed to be traveling in Jeju Island."
Bae Juhyun responded with a perfectly flawless smile, saying politely, "Because it’s a Red Velvet event, so..."
"Ah, I get it, I get it. Can’t provoke the fans too much, indeed."
Liu Xin’an looked down speechlessly, while Kang Seulgi, bowing to the MC along with Bae Juhyun, really had to hold back her laughter.
After they had visited all the guest performers participating in the mall show, the group returned to the mall’s backstage.
Once the door was closed, Kang Seulgi couldn’t hold back any longer.
"Hahaha, what! No one noticed at all?"
She was almost laughing to tears, and because of her makeup, she couldn’t make too exaggerated facial expressions, so she just made a series of muffled laughter sounds, then seemed to choke on her own saliva, and started coughing awkwardly.
Bae Juhyun speechlessly patted Kang Seulgi’s back, then looked at her boyfriend. Seeing Liu Xin’an’s frustrated expression, she couldn’t help but chuckle.
"If you want to laugh, just do it. Holding it in isn’t good."
"Cough, not laughing anymore. If they couldn’t notice you, it’s their eyes’ problem. Our Xin’an, don’t be upset~"
Liu Xin’an was dumbfounded. Was he some kid demanding candy?
"Do you know the host?"
"Hmm... we did a show together in the past, but it was just a one-time acquaintance."
Korea is really small, and the entertainment circle is surprisingly small too.
It’s really common to meet artist friends you’ve done shows with at events , and this is just a small commercial performance. Wait until the end of the year, at the major networks’ year-end stages, that’s when there truly is a gathering of stars.
"I see." Liu Xin’an nodded, about to say something when he heard a knock, which took him by surprise. He quickly walked to the door, exchanged a glance with Bae Juhyun, and after confirming that his girlfriend and Kang Seulgi were ready, he opened the door.
Bae Juhyun and her group had already greeted the seniors who debuted before them at this event.
Next, as seniors themselves, they were receiving greetings from the juniors.
What surprised Liu Xin’an was that he actually knew the person coming to greet them this time.
And not only did he recognize them, the other party immediately recognized him too. This content belongs to novelFɪre.net
Unlike the previous meeting with the organizers and hosts where he was unnoticed, wearing a hat and mask, he was still recognized.
One of the girls showed a surprised expression, then called his name in familiar Chinese.
This unexpected Chinese also made Bae Juhyun and the others pause for a moment. Then, Bae Juhyun and Kang Seulgi stood up, joined by the surprised Liu Xin’an, and spoke.
Liu Xin’an called out the girl’s name in front of him.
While Bae Juhyun and Kang Seulgi called out the name of the group.
Then, Song Yuqi looked at her teammates and started clapping to a beat.
"1, 2, 3, hello to Red Velvet seniors, we are (G)I-DLE."
PS: At this time, Yuqi and the others hadn’t exploded in popularity because of "tomboy" yet.
