Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star? Chapter 964 - 447: Even the Best of Friends Quarrel

To be honest, even though Bae Juhyun tells herself that the company’s actions are perfectly fine, and they are trying their best to clear her na,

but...

that feeling of helplessness and disappointnt still makes it hard for her to lift her spirits.

And when she appeared before Kang Seulgi in this state, Kang Seulgi, who is familiar with Bae Juhyun, noticed imdiately that sothing was off with Bae Juhyun.

"What’s going on?"

She didn’t think that there was any conflict between Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin’an, mainly because she couldn’t imagine Bae Juhyun having a conflict with Liu Xin’an.

Besides, based on her knowledge of Liu Xin’an, should anything happen between the two, Liu Xin’an would definitely not leave Bae Juhyun to fend for herself.

So...

"Did sothing go wrong with the reality show taping?"

She was aware that Bae Juhyun went to see Director Kim first when she returned.

Bae Juhyun looked at Kang Seulgi, nodded, then shook her head.

This suspense was driving Kang Seulgi anxious.

"The group variety show is fine, everything is going smoothly. But the director said they will give a personal show this year."

Upon hearing this, Kang Seulgi had a surprised expression, then her face blossod into a joyful smile.

Red Velvet is a five-mber girl group.

Since there are five mbers, the popularity of each mber indeed varies.

Take their group, Red Velvet, for instance, their popularity queen is without a doubt the one in front of her, with a face praised by everyone as the most stunning of her generation, Bae Juhyun, Irene.

And Bae Juhyun’s personal popularity... It’s no exaggeration to say, is more than the other four combined.

Generally speaking, when the popularity gap within a group is this wide, conflicts are bound to arise among the mbers.

Be it advertisers or events, they certainly prefer to invite the more popular, well-liked mbers.

But such situations usually don’t happen with S-M artists.

Because, S-M intervenes directly, withholding resources from the popular mbers and turning to give so resources to the less popular mbers.

Commonly referred to as... blocking overexposure.

Of course, lucrative resources like advertisents definitely still go to the more popular mbers.

This way, S-M successfully prevents conflicts within the team, while preventing the already popular mbers from becoming overly exposed, further increasing their popularity, and at the sa ti, ensuring that the less popular mbers aren’t left jobless due to their lower popularity.

This is indeed a win-win approach, but... this only applies to the company and those less popular mbers within the team.

As for those truly popular team mbers, or rather Bae Juhyun... what did she do wrong?

She clearly did nothing wrong but still lost out on the resources that were originally ant for her, becoming soone shelved by the company.

She would be busy as a bee during cobacks, music shows.

After it ended... she might not have a single job for half a year.

The relationship among the five mbers of Red Velvet is really good.

Although there are interest dynamics among them, one could even say that the incident two years ago involving Bae Juhyun affected the entire group not insignificantly... yet, because they have been living like a family for many years, and everyone knows how much Bae Juhyun has sacrificed for the whole team.

Even though Bae Juhyun did sothing that affected the team greatly, everyone still harbors no resentnt, on the contrary, they’ve always been encouraging Bae Juhyun to cheer up.

Including this ti with her romance with Liu Xin’an, of course, her romance with Liu Xin’an has helped the group far more than harming it...

And now, Bae Juhyun surprisingly has her first personal variety show in eight years since her debut, solely featuring herself. How could this not make Kang Seulgi, who always felt guilty towards Bae Juhyun, happy and excited?

"Isn’t this great news!"

Kang Seulgi exclaid excitedly, but seeing Bae Juhyun sigh, she quickly cald down.

"Juhyun unnie?"

"The content of this project will be about my work and vacation life, with staff appearing in the show."

"The staff..."

Kang Seulgi’s voice was full of astonishnt, of course she understood what bothered Bae Juhyun the most, and the appearance of the word "staff" imdiately made Kang Seulgi realize the reason for Bae Juhyun’s disappointnt.

She opened her mouth, but in the end, did not say any words to comfort Bae Juhyun, only hugged this hardworking sister, gently patting Bae Juhyun’s back.

...

"So, when are you coming to Seoul?"

"Really? Make sure you contact when you’re here, I’ll treat you to a al."

"Sure, tell what you want to eat, and I’ll make it for you, although don’t believe what they say, my cooking is quite ordinary... Why would I fool you."

"Alright, uh... the variety show? It seems to be going well, if there’s any problem, I’ll ask for your help, don’t worry."

"Alrighty, call when you arrive."

"Bye-bye."

Liu Xin’an hung up the call with Dai Zhiyuan, raising an eyebrow slightly.

This call wasn’t just a simple catch-up or a ans to maintain a relationship.

No surprises there, this was also a kind of signal released from over there.

The things his dad told him during the New Year still linger vividly in his mind, it seems... soon, both sides will start working on promoting him and Bae Juhyun as a "cross-national couple."

In this extrely sensitive period this year, it might not matter much dostically, but over here, it’s considered a big deal.

It’s just that Liu Xin’an doesn’t have a particularly clear blueprint on how to specifically operate this matter yet.
