Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 724 - 367. Busan

In the blink of an eye, it was already September 28.

And there was only one day left until the event.

Because it was a very important event, Bae Juhyun and the others arrived at the airport early in the morning under Seong Taekyon’s arrangement, ready to fly directly to Busan.

Although Red Velvet’s sudden popularity this time was unexpected, it actually far exceeded S-M’s expectations.

The company did arrange a lot of performances for Bae Juhyun and the others afterward, but overall, the performances after this Red Velvet comeback were not as many as the previous ones.

On the one hand, this was their first comeback after enduring public criticism, and even with the support of fans from China, S-M was not particularly optimistic about their performance at the beginning.

They first quietly announced their return to the music scene to inform fans, and the real push would come in the next comeback.

And the next comeback was already being conceived, tentatively scheduled for March of next year, which is six months later. During these six months, Bae Juhyun and the others would participate in some programs and make appropriate appearances.

But now they suddenly became popular...

So when they appeared at the airport quietly, many fans still recognized them and were very curious about their purpose for coming to the airport this time.

After all, the official website did not disclose Bae Juhyun and the others’ schedule this time.

"Wendy unnie! Are you going for a performance?"

Usually very friendly and open with fans, Son Seungwan did not reveal their purpose this time. She smiled brightly at the fans beside her: "I can’t say."

"Wow~ so mean, can’t you tell us?"

"Hey, hey, hey, watch out in front, don’t bump into anything." Son Seungwan hurriedly reminded the fan walking with them towards the VIP channel.

The reminded fan quickly looked ahead and then stopped.

There was a pillar not far in front of her. If Son Seungwan hadn’t reminded her in time, she would have collided with it.

"Ah!"

"Be careful, okay, we need to go in now, bye~"

"Oh..."

The fans following them all sighed in disappointment and waved actively at Bae Juhyun and the others.

Bae Juhyun, who had been smiling at them all along, also raised her hand and waved back, saying goodbye to these fans before following the staff into the VIP channel.

Once she confirmed that there were no outsiders around, Son Seungwan let out a sigh of relief and hesitated: "Did we really not disclose this work to the outside world?"

Seong Taekyon, who was standing beside them, chuckled: "This isn’t even considered work. You are invited as guests to an event in your personal capacity. How could the company blatantly tell the fans about this?"

When Mr. Wang Chengjie sent out the invitations, he specifically mentioned that the invitees were Bae Juhyun, Kang Seulgi, and Son Seungwan, not "Irene," "Seulgi," or "Wendy," and certainly not "Red Velvet"... So the event had to be kept as low-key as possible.

As to whether some fans would "accidentally" find out about it, that depended on the consulate’s plans.

If they wanted to keep it completely hidden, then S-M would naturally do its best to suppress the hype and not let this matter be exposed to fans and the public.

And if the consulate didn’t mind... S-M would definitely make sure the matter was exposed.

"But we’ll meet many people who know us at the event. What if they talk?"

"Don’t worry, the people attending the event aren’t fools, and we actually want them to talk about it. If this news really gets out, you won’t have to worry about work for the next half year." Seong Taekyon said while glancing at Bae Juhyun.

Bae Juhyun noticed his gaze and gave an innocent smile: "Taekyon oppa, why are you looking at me?"

Up until now, S-M still hadn’t gotten any details out of Bae Juhyun.

That is to say, the company still didn’t know if their attendance at this event was related to Liu Xin’an.

Bae Juhyun claimed ignorance, and the company didn’t feel right asking Liu Xin’an directly... So, the matter was left hanging.

"It’s already today, Irene, be honest. Does this really have nothing to do with Xin’an?"

Bae Juhyun shrugged: "I told you I don’t know."

"Fine, I understand your caution. But regardless of whether this has anything to do with Xin’an, you five are now thoroughly tied to China."

It’s hard to say whether this is a good thing or not.

Artists are best kept out of political activities, especially popular girl groups with many international fans like them.

But S-M urgently needed this opportunity to improve relations with China, so the company took a big gamble on this matter.

And the stakes of this gamble were the five women in front of him.

If relations between the two countries stayed close in the future, Red Velvet, with Bae Juhyun, would reap endless benefits.

If not...

For Red Velvet, it could be disastrous.

But undeniably, making good relations now was definitely more beneficial than harmful for Red Velvet.

The members who had all debuted seven years ago were not novices. They understood Seong Taekyon’s serious admonitions clearly.

Opportunities often came hand in hand with risks.
