Chapter 52 Black and Red are Still Red: The Powerful Wu Haiyuan
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
Ahn Yu-jin's extremely sincere apology completely bewildered Jang Won-young, who had just shared a "secret" with her. Jang Won-young asked, "Unnie, what did you misunderstand?"
Ahn Yoo-jin waved her hand with a smile and said, "It's nothing, really nothing. So you only met Han Hee-joon once?"
Zhang Yuanying continued, "Unnie doesn't think we're secretly dating, does she?"
Ahn Yoo-jin seemed a little guilty.
His gaze drifted into the distance, and he hummed in agreement.
Zhang Yuanying replied, "I hope."
Turning her gaze away, Ahn Yoo-jin raised her hands and grasped Jang Won-young's shoulders, saying, "Won-young, what's wrong? Cheer up! What did you mean by what you just said?"
Jang Won-young shared her "secret" with Ahn Yoo-jin.
But it wasn't told to Ahn Yoo-jin verbatim.
Things that shouldn't be said, like the necessary conditions for her to endorse Hyundai and Kia's new flagship car, Zhang Yuanying didn't mention.
He only told Ahn Yoo-jin that he had dinner at a high-end Chinese restaurant that day with Chairman Jung and Director Lee of Hyundai Kia Group, Chairman Kim of Kakao Group, and Han Hee-joon.
Even so, the people on Ahn Yoo-jin's rambling posts don't treat them like "people" at all.
An Youzhen understands.
Zhang Yuanying understood.
In fact, many girls who initially entered the entertainment industry with a pure heart and a passion to pursue their dreams gradually see through the "true nature" of the industry.
Essentially, they are "products" that the company has rigorously selected.
After being packaged and launched into the market, products that gain market recognition and popularity can survive; otherwise, they will be quickly eliminated.
Only when you become "powerful" will you have even the slightest chance to decide your own life and career.
Of course, the effort required to seize even the slightest chance is far beyond human imagination.
In Ahn Yoo-jin's eyes, Jang Won-young was trying to seize that sliver of an opportunity.
It's not as simple as just five women and one main character.
What she wants is to break free from the "limitations" of being an idol and become a top artist among idols, so that she can perhaps "stand on equal footing" with those top actresses.
With a smile, Zhang Yuanying asked An Youzhen to keep her secret.
Ahn Yoo-jin nodded and told Jang Won-young that no matter what happens in the future, she must tell her and not bear it alone. Sometimes, the two of them can come up with a solution by discussing it together.
Jang Won-young nodded in response, but she knew in her heart that Ahn Yoo-jin couldn't help her. Was she supposed to ask Ahn Yoo-jin to "pursue" Han Hee-joon for her? She would definitely think she was crazy, and she would try to convince herself that once an idol has a scandal, he will be finished if he doesn't handle it well.
the other side.
Cheongdam-dong, JYP Entertainment.
The underground practice room.
The latest episode of "72 Hours of Blind Dates" started airing last night at 10 pm on the YouTube channel.
The new matchmaking couple is Wu Haiyuan and Han Xijun from NMIXX.
Last night, Wu Haiyuan and the other members watched the show together in their dormitory.
By the time I finished watching the first episode and refreshed the page, the number of views had already exceeded 60.
The members' reactions were pure.
Wu Haiyuan is about to become famous.
After all, we live in the internet age, and YouTube is a global online platform. The more people pay to watch, the more attention Wu Haiyuan will receive and the more people will start to know about him.
After Wu Haiyuan became "famous", NMIXX will definitely also have more opportunities following this "tailwind".
however.
This morning's trending topics plunged everyone's expectations into despair.
The first to speak out was Park Jin, who said excitedly, "What kind of people are these? Don't they even watch the show? Han Hee-joon's refusal to appear on the show in the first place wasn't because he disliked Hae-won. Any normal person would react the same way in this situation."
Pei Zhenlu chimed in, "Have those people who are cursing never been on a blind date? Don't they understand the awkwardness and wariness of a first meeting? It's ridiculous."
Xue Lun'e, holding Wu Haiyuan's arm, said, "Unnie, don't look, just ignore it."
Kim Ji-woo said indignantly, "Someone is definitely stirring up trouble."
Jang Gyujin replied confidently, "It's just that someone is stirring up trouble. What's wrong with our unnie? Do those people hiding behind the internet dare to come out and compare themselves to our unnie?"
Wu Haiyuan raised his hand and said, "What's wrong? I'm not even excited, why are you all so excited?"
The members looked at Wu Haiyuan.
Wu Haiyuan remained remarkably calm, shrugging and saying, "It's just a variety show."
"Unnie"
"Haiyuan"
Wu Haiyuan continued, "Isn't that right? The more people who criticize me, the more people have watched the show. At the very least, those who criticize me can accurately type my name in trending posts."
"Look, isn't my detailed information still in the comments? I'm Oh Hae-won, the leader of NMIXX, a new girl group launched by JYP Entertainment in February 2022."
Zhang Guizhen scrolled through the trending comments.
Wu Haiyuan clearly didn't look at it, so how did she know?
Believe it or not, there really was an identical comment.
Jang Gyu-jin exclaimed, "Unnie~"
Wu Haiyuan chuckled and said, "I bet a lot of people online are searching for the NMIXX group."
"Unnie~"
The others still looked worried and felt sorry for Wu Haiyuan.
Wu Haiyuan continued, "If I were Director Li, I would definitely have the publicity team seize the opportunity to leave comments on trending topics to increase publicity. They can criticize all they want, because I won't lose anything from being criticized."
In an instant, the members were all impressed by Wu Haiyuan's "broad-mindedness" as vast as the ocean.
Is this the magnanimity of a group leader?
No, is this the kind of wisdom only a team leader should possess?
Director Lee is the only female director at JYP Entertainment and the head of the fourth division.
Park Jin muttered to herself, "Hae Won, do you mean to capitalize on this buzz and invest even more in promotion?"
Wu Haiyuan suddenly sighed and said, "It's a pity. If the company had known earlier that Han Xijun was recording the show with me, they would have been able to figure out the situation and prepare a new single."
"Haiyuan, have you gone mad?"
"I'm the only one bearing the pressure, but the new single will probably be listened to while being criticized. I guess those people are criticizing me to see what's so great about NMIXX's new song, but the music is being downloaded in real time, right? The results are still there. We'll just have to wait for this wave of hype to die down..."
The members listened quietly as Wu Haiyuan explained her "plan".
All I could do was sigh in my heart.
Only Wu Haiyuan would be this "crazy".
To be honest, her operational thinking is probably even better than that of the staff in the fourth headquarters.
If Wu Haiyuan's plan is executed, NMIXX might actually find an opportunity in the realm of controversy and popularity, just like Girls' Generation did back then.
"Is Unnie a genius?"
Kim Ji-woo blurted it out.
Wu Haiyuan pointed at himself and said, "Me? What kind of genius am I? Han Xijun is the real genius. I just don't know if Han Xijun has seen this trending topic."
Xue Lun'e asked timidly, "Are you worried about him, Unnie?"
Wu Haiyuan laughed heartily and said, "What are you worried about? Seeing so many people like him, do you think he'll break down?"
"That is?"
Wu Haiyuan shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
She definitely can't tell the members what she's thinking right now: there are so many people who like Han Hee-joon, more than the number of people who participated in the JYP Entertainment auditions.
I am just a passerby.
That's probably how it will be.
"Slap slap slap"
He clapped his hands to signal the members to get ready to practice.
Although he understood the situation, Wu Haiyuan still felt awkward. Han Xijun had "helped" him twice after the show ended. Was he really just a passerby?
