Chapter 600: 325. Collaboration Invitation_3

After the show ended, without any more exposure, Liu Xin’an wasn’t sure how many of those who originally came for his looks would stay.

"Do you have a YouTube account?"

"Uh... yes, but I’ve never really managed it actively."

"Are you interested in joining S-M?"

"... Huh?"

This was a question beyond Liu Xin’an’s expectations.

Bae Juhyun was also shocked by this proposal.

She looked astonished but quickly bowed her head after realizing it.

Thankfully, Director Kim was focused on observing Liu Xin’an’s expression and did not notice her reaction.

"Do you mean you want me to be an artist?"

"No, no, just sign a collaboration with S-M. If we need publicity in the future, we can do it through your YouTube account. It’s a form of promotion."

As long as it involves public opinion, S-M always finds a way to get involved.

Nowadays, the influence of personal media accounts is growing. When S-M organizes events now, they invite some highly influential personal media figures to participate.

At this moment, Director Kim’s move was an attempt to bind Liu Xin’an completely to S-M.

They had noticed Liu Xin’an’s potential and the significance behind the pairing of Liu Xin’an and Bae Juhyun.

Cp? That’s just a term to deceive outsiders.

What they truly valued was the hidden significance behind Liu Xin’an and Bae Juhyun: China and Korea.

S-M had offended China before and had been trying to mend their relationship ever since... this was a very good opportunity. This event was so important that even the CEO, who rarely intervened in company matters, paid close attention to it.

Next year is very important. Since 1992, next year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

At such a critical time, if there were a "couple" highly admired by young people in both China and Korea, it would be a very beneficial thing.

This is why Director Kim valued this matter so much and even went out of his way to come here in person.

"... Just to clarify, do you want me to start a YouTube account and frequently post videos about Red Velvet to promote their comeback?"

"That’s one aspect. The main hope is that you and the members of Red Velvet can spark some chemistry."

Since it’s about creating cp hype, it doesn’t necessarily have to be with Bae Juhyun.

The fans will support whoever they like.

"Spark some chemistry..."

Liu Xin’an was amused by this euphemistic expression. He cleared his throat, speaking in a peculiar tone, "You should know, I have a girlfriend."

"Yes, so if you don’t mind, we can explain this to your girlfriend face-to-face."

"Ah, no need for that. She trusts me..."

Cold sweat broke out on Liu Xin’an’s forehead as he quickly declined, realizing he almost made things difficult for himself.

"As long as your girlfriend doesn’t misunderstand, we can clarify for you anytime. There’s no need to worry about that."

"I understand... but there’s another very important thing."

"Go ahead."

Liu Xin’an looked at Director Kim with a serious expression.

"What do Irene and Wendy think about this? Since it’s about marketing, their opinions should also be a crucial factor, right?"

This statement stunned those present.

Yes, throughout the discussion, neither Seong Taekyon nor Director Kim had mentioned the opinions of Bae Juhyun and Son Seungwan.

Or rather, their opinions were not deemed important.

Any decision made by the higher-ups was something they just had to follow without question.

Of course, Bae Juhyun and Son Seungwan wouldn’t refuse. This was beneficial for them; they had no reason to reject it.

"Haha, yes, Irene and Wendy’s opinions are also very important, as this is your comeback," Director Kim laughed heartily. This young man with a different mindset really intrigued him.

He didn’t dislike such young people; on the contrary, his evaluation of Liu Xin’an rose significantly.

Being humble and courteous earned favor anywhere, not to mention Liu Xin’an’s thorough consideration.

Director Kim wasn’t the kind of leader who excessively exploited artists. His actions to compensate Son Seungwan and to suppress public opinion about Bae Juhyun were proof.

Sure, in terms of resource distribution he might not be the best leader, but he never withheld any resources.

The company had a lot to consider. If they didn’t curb Bae Juhyun’s popularity, Red Velvet might end up like Miss A.

Miss A was also a girl group, but their group name was likely less known than another name.

Bae Suzy and her backup dancers.

If they didn’t suppress Bae Juhyun’s popularity, Red Velvet might turn into another Miss A.

Bae Juhyun and her backup dancers?

The company naturally didn’t want to see such a situation.

"Irene, Wendy, just be honest. If Mr. Liu Xin’an joins you for the comeback activities and the subsequent schedule involves cooperating with him in filming, are you willing?"

Director Kim’s gentle tone left Son Seungwan unsure how to respond. She looked at Bae Juhyun beside her, habitually seeking help from her captain.

As for Bae Juhyun...

This usually composed captain’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she eagerly nodded.

"I have no objections!"

Joking aside, at that moment, all Bae Juhyun could think about was...

She could meet Liu Xin’an during the comeback period?
