Legendary Superstar-Chapter 143: Product Launch (1)

Minjae gave a small nod.

The event for today was being held at a luxury hotel. Lux & Co. had rented out the entire private venue for their product launch. Their new collection was set to be revealed in front of artists, influencers, and media people.

The main hall was decorated with soft lighting and large LED screens showing the main photos of the new line. Crystal glasses, white flowers, and gold details also filled the room.

There was also a small stage that had been set up for speeches and performances. Photographers were already taking pictures of guests as they walked down the branded carpet.

Back in the dressing room, Yewon handed Minjae a silver pin with the Lux & Co. emblem on it. "Here. This is a sign that you're from Lux & Co. You'll be wearing it for the photos."

Minjae pinned it to his jacket carefully.

"So... is everyone going to be there?" he asked.

"Yup. Everyone," Yewon confirmed. "Top influencers, a few veteran actors, idol group members, and even some foreign guests."

"Oh well, good luck to me then." Minjae tilted his head to the side as he stood up from the chair.

Yewon chuckled as she picked up her tablet and followed Minjae to the door.

"You don't need luck, you just need to walk in and socialize out there. That's enough."

They stepped out of the dressing room and into the hallway. Staff members were moving around with their headsets on, checking the final details. A few of them glanced at Minjae as he passed, their eyes widening a little. He caught one staff whispering to another.

"That's him? He looks better."

"Yeah. He actually looks good."

"Damn."

"Woah…"

Just a few steps ahead, the CEO of Lux & Co., Yoona, was waiting with two assistants beside her. She wore a simple yet striking black dress with silver heels, her hair was tucked behind her ears.

When she saw Minjae, her face lit up.

"There you are," she said, walking up to him with an approving look. "Wow… you really pull it off."

"Thank you, CEO Yoona." Minjae bowed politely.

"Told you he'd deliver." Yewon stood proudly next to him.

Yoona gave a short laugh and nodded.

"You weren't wrong, Yewon. Minjae looks like he's been doing this for years."

"Thank you, CEO. I'll try not to embarrass the brand."

"You won't. Just enjoy the night and let them see why we chose you." She glanced at her watch.

"It's about time. Let's go."

The assistants opened the nearby elevator doors, and the three of them stepped inside of it.

As the elevator began to move down to the lower ground level, where the venue was set up, Minjae took a breath. His fingers brushed lightly against the silver pin on his chest.

Yewon tapped gently on her tablet as the elevator hummed beneath them. Then she looked up at Minjae and leaned slightly closer.

"By the way, Minjae, you'll have to stay backstage first," she reminded him in a soft but firm voice. "Yoona and I will go in ahead. She'll give a short speech, and after that, they'll call your name."

Minjae nodded, tightening his jaw just a little.

"Alright. I Got it."

"You'll hear the cue right after the video plays. Just walk in slowly and confidently. Remember, you're not just Minjae. You're Lux & Co.'s main face tonight so please walk with dignity and grace."

"Don't look too nervous. Everyone in that room already knew you. You just have to walk in and be yourself." Yoona smiled at that.

"I will." Minjae gave a confident nod to Yoona.

After a few seconds, the elevator dinged softly.

As the doors slid open, the lower ground came into view. There were velvet ropes lining the hallway, floral arrangements set on either side of the path, and beyond that, the muffled music and ambient chatter coming from the event hall.

A staff member greeted them with a nod and guided them to a side passage that led to the backstage area.

"Minjae, come with me," Yewon said, signaling him to wait behind a curtain near the side of the stage. "This is your spot. Don't peek, don't fidget, and definitely don't trip when you walk out."

Minjae chuckled.

"I'm fine."

"You better be. You have no choice," Yewon teased before tapping him lightly on the shoulder. "Good luck. We'll be just out there."

With that, she and Yoona disappeared past the curtain and onto the main stage.

The soft music dimmed, and applause followed Yoona as she stepped into the spotlight. Minjae could see the back of the LED screen from where he stood, flickering with soft blues and silvers.

Minjae sighed as he stood alone.

Tonight was his night.
