Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?

In past New Year's Eve events, Xiaopo Station has always hosted some activities, but these events don't really differ from the New Year galas on various major TV stations, focusing more on music and dance performances.

Of course, some distinctive features of Xiaopo Station will surely be present, such as elements of the second dimension, or promoting traditional Chinese culture.

Liu Xin'an isn't exactly from the second dimension, nor does he understand traditional culture, let alone perform music or dance. Hence, Xiaopo Station invited him to be the host for this New Year's Eve event.

Apart from inviting him, familiar face Mu Shang from the Daoyue Society is also on the guest list for the New Year's Eve event.

However, Liu Xin'an doesn't plan to accept this invitation.

"I'll film a video to say hi to everyone. As for being the host... I feel that I can't handle such a big stage."

Liu Xin'an politely declined the official invitation, while having already found a reason for himself.

"Ah... aren't you going to reconsider? Fans would definitely love to see you on stage."

"You're too kind. Compared to professional hosts, I lack the professionalism to handle such a big stage. Thank you to the officials for inviting me."

"Alright, then we won't disturb you any further, Mr. Liu Xin'an. You can send your recorded video to the staff member who coordinates with you."

"Okay."

After a round of compliments, Liu Xin'an hung up the phone and let out a long sigh of relief.

The invitation to the New Year's Eve event didn't surprise him, but just as he had said... this is a proper platform that requires a professional host, unlike the variety show he did before, which is entirely different.

He doesn't believe he can manage such a large event; professional matters should be left to the professionals. As for him... he'll just be an audience member and then film a serious video to greet everyone, which would be his way of fulfilling his duty.

This is the main reason he declined the invitation from Xiaopo Station. Besides, there's also a secondary reason.

Which is... he accepted Bae Juhyun's invitation to attend the year-end award ceremony of the three major stations.

Of course, as an audience member.

This year, because the success of "Queendom" far exceeded Bae Juhyun and her group's expectations, they still have some hope of winning an award at this year's Song Festival.

However, properly speaking, the big awards don't have much to do with Bae Juhyun and her group. After all... compared to their contemporaries like Blackpink and Twice, they still fall short, and it's unrealistic to close the gap with a single "Queendom."

Apart from these two groups that have always overshadowed them, their junior group aespa has also been making waves this year.

Getting any award would be great already. After the absurdity of 2019 and 2020, having this kind of popularity now is a blessing amidst misfortune.

It's for this reason that Liu Xin'an doesn't want to miss his girlfriend's performance.

Ever since he saw Bae Juhyun and her group perform live, Liu Xin'an secretly vowed never to miss any of his girlfriend's performances in the future.

Bae Juhyun's radiant appearance on stage made him fall for her deeply.

With a few days left until the Song Festival, he doesn't need to do much except continue his livestream work as usual with dedication.

However, at this time, Bae Juhyun is genuinely busy to the point of being non-stop.

....

"Ha... ha..."

Panting heavily, Bae Juhyun awkwardly shook her slightly sore arms and sat cross-legged in the practice room without any image concerns.

Sitting next to her were Kim Yerin and Park Sooyoung, who had come to practice together after finishing filming work.

"Aigoo~ I'm so tired."

Kim Yerin patted her own leg, speaking lazily.

They all cared greatly about stage effects. Since debut, they had been receiving such education, so they all valued this stage highly and practiced diligently as well.

"Let's rest for a while, and wait for Seulgi and the others."

Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan were even busier than them because the company selected them to participate in another project.

So, besides preparing for the new album and the year-end stage, Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan also had to practice with another group.

"Shall we go join the fun?"

"You can go if you want, I don't want to move." Bae Juhyun wasn't interested in joining the fun, not because she didn't know the other members involved in the project with Kang Seulgi, but because she was too familiar with this group and would surely be teased if she went over.

This new project pushed by S-M was named GOT the beat, a name that already clearly indicated S-M's ambition. Hence, the people selected for this project were led by super senior BoA, along with two seniors from Girls' Generation, Kim Taeyeon and Kim Hyoyeon, plus aespa's Yu Jimin and Kim Minjeong.

Oh! And her group's Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan.

BoA needs no mention, as a super senior who debuted back in 2000, no one would dare criticize her skills.

Kim Taeyeon and Kim Hyoyeon, in the empire of Girls' Generation, are known for having the strongest vocal and dance skills respectively.

Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan are also powerful presences in their group, Red Velvet, known for their stage proficiency.

Adding in two talented newcomers, Yu Jimin and Kim Minjeong, who debuted not long ago...

Saying it's a new project, in a way, it's showcasing the company's prowess.

After all, a girl group of this scale is something only S-M could produce.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

"Don't drag me, I don't want to move..."

Bae Juhyun resisted the two younger members' extended hands, dodging them playfully. Just as they were messing around, the practice room door opened, and Kang Seulgi and Son Seungwan strolled in. Joining them were Kim Taeyeon and Kim Hyoyeon.

Well, she didn't look for a party; the party came to her.

Thinking about it, with such an interesting matter, how could this lively group of sisters possibly miss out?

BoA not coming together already made Bae Juhyun very grateful.

After all, she is a super-super senior... debuting a full fourteen years earlier!
