Chapter 717: 364. Remarkable achievements (Thanks to Huanyu Dalao for the Silver Alliance Hierarch! 25/40)_3

As Red Velvet regained popularity in Korea, many fans and casual listeners synchronously became aware of him, a Chinese man named Liu Xin’an.

This made him a bit of a minor celebrity.

Moreover, the fact that his mother is Korean was also uncovered, which thrilled those originally quite xenophobic Koreans.

Compared to Bae Juhyun, who still had some negative press, Liu Xin’an had none at all.

Speaking Korean and understanding Korean culture, while also possessing the humble nature of a Chinese person, Liu Xin’an quickly won the favor of... female fans here.

Yes... only female fans. Thanks to Red Velvet’s fanbase, where the ratio of female fans far outnumbered male fans. If it was a group like Twice, Liu Xin’an would probably be cursed by their male fans for being so close to the idols.

[Brother An hinted that no one recognizes him back home!]

[That’s BS. Brother An didn’t even leave the house before knowing Red Velvet. Where could he get recognized by viewers?]

[Try living in Shanghai if you’re bold enough?]

Seeing his statement labeled with all sorts of tags by the viewers, Liu Xin’an twitched his mouth, "Don’t put words in my mouth."

[No show invites for Brother An?]

"Actually, quite a few shows have sent me invites."

Liu Xin’an didn’t have a manager or a proper agency, but his popularity still made many shows envious.

Unable to invite Liu Xin’an through a company, these shows contacted him directly via his personal profile’s collaboration WeChat.

However, most of the invitations came from small shows. The most ridiculous one was a dating show invitation.

Yeah, the kind that invites single men and women to pair up on a reality show...

But he had a girlfriend, which was something known to quite a few people.

Given that, a dating show still wanted to invite him. He truly didn’t understand what was wrong with the world.

[Would you consider participating?]

[Take this chance to debut as a celebrity and earn more than being a streamer squeezing money from viewers?]

"Cough, cough, I won’t debut. Rest assured, not now, not ever."

Liu Xin’an denied with a helpless smile, avoiding the absurd questions in the chat, as he focused seriously on the long-awaited Chinese game.

Time flew by when one was immersed in a game. When night fell, Liu Xin’an turned off the stream and relaxed in his chair, daydreaming.

He liked gaming a lot, but playing for six or seven hours straight was exhausting. So after each stream, he needed some time to empty his mind and pull himself out from the gaming state.

"Buzz~"

The vibrating phone jolted the dozing Liu Xin’an awake. He sat up instinctively and picked up his phone.

If he remembered correctly, Bae Juhyun should be recording a radio show at this time. She had messaged him in the afternoon...

With that thought, Liu Xin’an glanced at his phone and noticed a hint of confusion in his eyes.

It wasn’t Bae Juhyun calling, but another friend in Korea.

"Hey Da, what’s up?"

"Did you receive it?"

"Receive what?" Liu Xin’an was baffled. Why did he start with such a random question?

"I sent you an invitation for the Mid-Autumn reception at the end of the month. Didn’t you get it yet?"

Sending an invitation to Liu Xin’an didn’t need to be as formal as sending one to Red Velvet, given their friendship and personal ties. Da just mailed it directly to him.

"Huh? I’ve been invited too?"

"Uh-huh, you’re now somewhat of a minor public figure here... Oh, even if you weren’t, I’d still invite you. Keep your schedule open for the end of the month."

"Uh... okay, but can I bring a camera to shoot one or two videos?"

"Sure, it’s not an event that prohibits filming... Oh, of course, filming during the official start is still prohibited."

"Don’t worry, I’ll just capture the atmosphere and the food."

"No problem, come along then. Just as well, I’ll introduce you and Irene to some big shots. You’re planning to go public, right? Making an appearance in front of them will be beneficial."

This made Liu Xin’an raise an eyebrow slightly. Although it was true as Da said, he and Bae Juhyun were planning the exact timing for going public... being introduced as a couple to some guests now...

"Won’t it leak the news ahead of time?"

"Those who were invited are all smart. Besides, this might confirm to SM that you’re associated with us, making them reconsider any foolish actions they might take."

Protecting the interests of fellow citizens abroad is part of their duty. And if they could use this opportunity to irritate SM, all the better.

But unfortunately, SM didn’t achieve its current status just by luck. Keen-sensed SM, upon realizing the connection between Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin’an with their group, immediately ceased their actions against Liu Xin’an.

Even going as far as being vaguely accommodating.

Did SM suddenly find its conscience and want to give Bae Juhyun and him a quiet environment to date?

Impossible!

As a "top-tier" commercial company, there’s nothing SM wouldn’t do.

The real reason they stopped messing around was because they encountered someone they couldn’t afford to provoke.

And Liu Xin’an was that kind of person.

"You’re hoping they’d do something foolish, aren’t you?"

Liu Xin’an joked, and Da on the other end of the call laughed heartily.

"Hahaha, you read my mind."
