"Oh... Liu Xin’an?"
"That’s right, that sounds much better."
"Ahem, Liu Xin’an, are you planning to enter the entertainment industry in the future?"
Kim Dahyun asked her curious question, and then she received two confused faces in response.
"Entertainment industry? Me? Why?"
"Eh? You don’t plan to enter the entertainment industry?" Kim Dahyun was taken aback. With such good conditions, plus Liu Xin’an’s good looks, even though he was Chinese, his Korean was like a native speaker’s. Moreover, his mother was a genuine Korean. With these conditions, debuting would be really simple.
Of course, Liu Xin’an’s age might not be suitable for becoming an idol, but as an actor, starting with small roles and gradually climbing up with President Park Jinyoung’s resources wasn’t hard at all.
As long as Liu Xin’an’s acting skills weren’t terrible.
"Dahyun, Xin’an has his own work; he runs a personal media account similar to a YouTuber, and he has many fans."
"Ah! Is that so?"
"Yes, he’s very famous in China. He even attended an awards ceremony recently!"
Talking about Liu Xin’an, Bae Juhyun couldn’t hide the pride on her face. She wasn’t one to show off usually, but Liu Xin’an was someone she wanted to introduce to everyone.
Well, if she didn’t have to consider the consequences, she would have posted intimate photos of herself and Liu Xin’an on her personal social media account long ago.
Meeting such an excellent boyfriend was something she felt very proud of, and now, she was excitedly introducing her boyfriend’s impressive resume to Kim Dahyun.
Of course, this kind of thing was very embarrassing for the person involved.
Especially when introducing him, a web celebrity, in front of actual artists.
He covered his girlfriend’s lips from behind, ignoring Bae Juhyun’s displeasure, and smiled awkwardly at Kim Dahyun: "Don’t listen to her rambling; I’m just an ordinary game streamer."
"Games? Liu Xin’an, you play games?"
Kim Dahyun was stunned, then she raised an excited smile.
Born in 1998, Kim Dahyun was only 23 years old, and she enjoyed playing games at her age.
As for game streaming...
"Switch?"
"Oh! You play Switch too? I also play."
"So, are you the kind of streamer who plays games on Twitch?"
"More or less, it’s a similar platform. I usually stream games there."
"Wow~ If there’s a chance, I’d love to stream games too. It’d be great to have a day happily playing games together~"
Kim Dahyun said with envy, her eyes lighting up.
But the next second, Park Jinyoung’s familiar voice made her entire body stiffen.
"Sure, Dahyun, if you want to stream games, I can open a Twitch channel for you someday, and you can just play."
The man’s gentle voice made the three young ones on the sofa stand up instinctively.
Liu Xin’an looked at his uncle, who still wore a smiling face, making it hard to discern his true feelings.
"Xin’an, can I call you Xin’an directly?" Park Jinyoung handed his phone to Liu Xin’an, kindly asking his nephew.
Liu Xin’an also smiled and nodded.
"Of course, Uncle. How did your chat with Mom go?"
"We talked a lot... Sit down, sit down, there’s no need to be so nervous. Irene and Dahyun, you sit too."
Park Jinyoung chuckled at their reactions. He sat down first and then motioned for the three juniors to follow suit.
Once everyone sat down nervously, he leaned back on the sofa, looking at Irene and Kim Dahyun’s tense expressions.
Sometimes he felt helpless; he wanted to get along more casually with his artists, but his position made it difficult to become friends with those under him.
He understood this, but if possible, he wished Kim Dahyun wouldn’t be so tense.
"Dahyun, thank you so much this time."
"No, no, I’m honored to be of help to you, President."
"I’ll treat you all to a meal sometime, and good luck with your upcoming work in Japan!"
"Yes, I’ll do my best!"
Facing Park Jinyoung alone and facing him with other members felt completely different, but today’s events couldn’t be shared. Otherwise, she would definitely brag about it in the group chat.
"Keep today’s events a secret~" Park Jinyoung raised an eyebrow, jokingly said to Kim Dahyun.
Kim Dahyun nodded vigorously; she would keep today’s events to herself.
No, she wasn’t even here today!
"But I’m not joking. If you genuinely want to play games, you can totally give it a try; Xin’an is doing game streaming now, so you can play together."
Park Jinyoung’s words made the three of them freeze.
The reason wasn’t complicated; the amount of information conveyed was overwhelming.
Even Liu Xin’an, who knew the least about the entertainment industry, could grasp some of the undertones.
Bae Juhyun had mentioned that the popularity of Kim Dahyun’s Twice was higher than that of her Red Velvet.
And whether it was Red Velvet or Twice, they were definitely more influential than him as a mere internet celebrity.
Perhaps on Bilibili and Weibo, he could occasionally surpass them in popularity due to his nationality advantage, but in the long run, he was still just a minor web celebrity.
To put it bluntly, this was his uncle giving him a chance to gain popularity by associating with Kim Dahyun or even Twice.
But...
No man could resist having his pride.
He understood his uncle’s care, but for someone with proud Chinese blood, this was hard to accept.
He wanted to work hard and become more successful than Bae Juhyun on his own, but he wanted to achieve it himself.
Before he could politely decline, Park Jinyoung spoke up again.
As a man, he understood their pride; he was a man himself.
If he didn’t understand this, he wouldn’t have stubbornly saved up to release his albums, start his own company, and write the songs he loved.
In this regard, Liu Xin’an and his newly reunited uncle were exactly the same.
"Xin’an, don’t misunderstand. After talking with your mom, I’ve learned a bit about your situation. You’re working as a streamer on Bilibili, right?"
"Uh... that’s correct, why?"
"I’ve looked into Bilibili. They approached me some time ago, hoping to work together on a music show in China. Do you know about this?"
"Uncle knows about this too?"
"It’d be strange if I didn’t." Park Jinyoung laughed, looking at Bae Juhyun, raising an eyebrow, "Lee Sooman probably knows about this too, right?"
Bae Juhyun pursed her lips and remained silent.
Being guessed and admitting it were two entirely different things.
Even if everyone present wouldn’t tell a fifth person outside of today’s attendees, she couldn’t disclose company secrets.
Park Jinyoung admired Bae Juhyun’s discretion and didn’t dwell on the topic. Instead, he stroked his chin, scrutinizing Liu Xin’an.
"This matter is still under negotiation. The Chinese market is a huge cake everyone in the industry eyes, but due to certain reasons, it’s hard for us to get in. Even if we do, I can’t let Dahyun participate."
Kim Dahyun was stunned, pointing at herself, as if asking Park Jinyoung why he mentioned her.
Park Jinyoung didn’t answer directly but shifted the topic to others: "But even if Dahyun can’t go, that doesn’t mean Momo and the others can’t. So I’m still considering this."
"But now, Xin’an... you’ll probably be involved in this event too, right?"
Park Jinyoung, with his hands crossed, rested his chin on them, looking at his somewhat bewildered nephew with interest.
This wasn’t hard to guess. Park Jinyoung knew from the start that Bilibili would include people, but he didn’t care at first.
But now, knowing his nephew was on that platform, coupled with Liu Xin’an’s multilingual skills... if Bilibili management wasn’t stupid, they’d never pass on such a talented, good-looking asset under their wing.
In other words, Liu Xin’an must have already been informed about this, or even received an invitation.
As a seasoned CEO of over 20 years, Park Jinyoung could easily deduce this.
