Chapter 510: 295. Calmed Public Opinion and the Subsequently Arising New Issues
At 10 a.m., Bae Juhyun finally sat up in bed, yawning.
She had secretly come back around 5:30 a.m., fallen asleep as soon as she got back, and had only slept for a little over four hours.
But those four hours of deep sleep were enough for her.
After a simple wash-up, Bae Juhyun finally returned to her most familiar state.
But the constant yawning still broke the perfect image she had.
The first thing she did after getting up wasn’t to look for Seong Taekyon, but to dial Liu Xin’an’s number.
After a night of fermentation, the video she posted with her alternate account had spread widely.
The effect was exactly as she and Liu Xin’an had predicted. They had laid out all the evidence and proved that both Liu Xin’an and "Bae Juhyun" were innocent. The originally indignant netizens had calmed down, including her own fans.
Yes, although Bae Juhyun had never been active in China, she still had a substantial number of Chinese fans.
Well... of course, her fan count in China was definitely not as high as Liu Xin’an’s. So, after the incident yesterday, most of the arguments between her fans and Liu Xin’an’s fans ended with Liu Xin’an’s fans overwhelmingly beating hers...
Fortunately, she couldn’t understand Chinese and knew nothing about it. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have let Liu Xin’an off so easily yesterday!
"Awake?"
Hearing the gentle voice of the man on the other end of the phone, Bae Juhyun unusually felt a bit vulnerable.
"Why are you so energetic? What time did you get up?"
Last night had truly been a wild one; Bae Juhyun could still recall the deeply gratifying sensation.
But the one who expended more energy was definitely Liu Xin’an. She was more in a passive, enjoyable role. Logically, Liu Xin’an should be more tired than her!
"I only slept for two or three hours."
"Huh? Hey! What have you been doing all morning, shooting?"
"No."
Liu Xin’an could indeed have lazily slept in until ten or eleven like Bae Juhyun, given that shooting was in the afternoon and he had plenty of time to rest in the morning.
But given the gravity of the situation, Liu Xin’an found it really hard to sleep.
He had been constantly monitoring the comments from netizens and Bae Juhyun’s fans. For him, this was his first time facing such a major public relations crisis.
He even received a call from his uncle this morning.
It was a call from Park Jinyoung, the boss of an entertainment agency in the industry.
This man was a big shot in the entertainment world. He was much better at controlling public opinion than Liu Xin’an. After chatting with his uncle for a while, Liu Xin’an gradually felt more at ease.
But his uncle didn’t specifically suggest that he and Bae Juhyun should fake a couple’s pairing. Instead, he pointed out another issue.
That was the matter of deceiving fans...
"Juhyun, do you think if we really agree to the concept of a fake coupling suggested by your manager and Director Yang, and we disclose our relationship someday in the future, will our fans feel betrayed?"
This indeed was a very serious issue.
Fans of the fake couple pairing would certainly harbor resentment.
At least Liu Xin’an’s fans or Bae Juhyun’s fans would dislike it.
But it was clear that both these types of fans were indeed fans of Liu Xin’an and Bae Juhyun.
By the end of the year, if Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin’an officially announced their relationship, would the fans who disliked the couple pairing feel overwhelmingly angry due to their deliberate concealment?
"Deception?"
"For example, if we really have that couple vibe, a large number of couple pairing fans will definitely appear. But these fans will surely be disliked by our individual fans. However, if we really go public later on, would it hurt those fans who dislike the couple pairing?"
This would actually not affect Liu Xin’an much. He was just a gaming streamer after all and didn’t have many fans who were concerned about his relationship.
Even if there were, after he officially announced his relationship with the bamboo stick, most of those fans had already left.
The real impact would be on Bae Juhyun.
Bae Juhyun’s fans certainly didn’t want to see her in a relationship. Some fake couple pairing might be okay, but yesterday Liu Xin’an had sneaked into some of Bae Juhyun’s fan groups using an alternate account.
Well... these were opened by Chinese fans individually, not officially recognized ones.
Actually, most of Bae Juhyun’s fans had pretty good feelings about the situation. On one hand, they all knew it was fake. Bae Juhyun had faked couple pairings before, but after hyping them up, she cut off all contact with the other party, not letting it affect her at all.
Most fans probably thought this time would be the same.
On the other hand, many fans thought it was a good thing.
If this show could increase Bae Juhyun’s popularity in the country, it would be a great thing.
"We are ultimately going to go public. No matter what time it happens, those fans who dislike seeing us together will part ways. It’s not really about deception."
Bae Juhyun was quite natural about it. After being in this ruthless industry for so long, she had already seen through the nature of fans.
She was 30 years old that year.
Though she was a female idol, at 30, she also had the right to enjoy her first romance.
