Chapter 435: Liu Xin'an Who Drew Cheers from the Crowd
After twisting and turning in circles, Liu Xin'an finally emerged from backstage and arrived at a spot close to the stage, adjacent to the audience seats.
Like on the other two main stages, Bae Juhyun and her group, debuted quite early and are considered seniors in today's performance, were arranged later in the order of appearance.
Liu Xin'an wasn't in a hurry. He adjusted his clothes briefly, made sure his hair wasn't in disarray, and gazed into the distance at Im Yoon'ah, standing on stage in a red dress.
Undeniably, even someone like Liu Xin'an, who isn't very familiar with the entertainment industry, gave a high evaluation to Im Yoon'ah and Lee Junho after watching their opening act.
Among the thousands of attendees, there were also many who enjoyed their performance on stage.
The cheering from the audience was continuous from the very beginning.
After his acquaintances finished their performance, Liu Xin'an seriously pondered what he should say during his one-minute introduction.
As time passed, the artists on stage changed one group after another, and the time for Bae Juhyun and her group to perform was drawing near.
Just as Liu Xin'an was engrossed in watching, a staff member suddenly approached him, whispering a few words in his ear.
Liu Xin'an nodded repeatedly, then took the microphone handed to him by the staff and waited patiently.
Finally, the stage went dark again, and in this brief darkness, a voice very familiar to Bae Juhyun preparing to go on stage suddenly sounded, and at the same time, Liu Xin'an started appearing on the big screen.
Liu Xin'an was not a first-time event host; his previous experiences in variety shows gave him plenty of confidence at this moment.
"Good evening, everyone, I'm the unsuspecting, lucky audience member suddenly recruited by the program team, Liu Xin'an."
If there's one event that's most talked about this summer, it's naturally the powerful comeback of the five-member Red Velvet, as a complete group after a two-year hiatus and various challenges.
If we further narrow it down and pick a central figure of media attention from the five members,
without a doubt, it is none other than Bae Juhyun, who overcame the darkest time last year and continues this year to dazzle her peers with her stunning beauty.
At this moment, the man appearing on the big screen is none other than Liu Xin'an, the boyfriend of Bae Juhyun, who unified the public's aesthetics this year and swept the nation with "Queendom."
This revelation naturally aroused deafening screams from the crowd.
The near-roaring cheers didn't seem to surprise Liu Xin'an. On the big screen, a gentle smile appeared on his face, as handsome as any male artist performing today, and his thin lips parted slightly. His calm and gentle voice once again soothed everyone's excited emotions.
"Hmm... I can hear everyone's cheering clearly. Fortunately, I'm in a very safe place right now. If I were on stage, perhaps I would already be overwhelmed by everyone's enthusiastic affection, and might not even be able to leave the stage after the show."
A humble self-deprecating joke is never disliked.
His humorous yet modest words made the audience laugh cooperatively.
Seeing that the atmosphere had been adequately warmed up, Liu Xin'an waved his hand, and the camera promptly switched focus to the pitch-black stage.
Next, his excited and thrilled voice resonated, and the previously dark stage was lit up by spotlights.
On the previously empty stage, dancers surrounded Bae Juhyun and her group.
And the moment Bae Juhyun's flawless face appeared on stage, her uncontrollable smile brought about the most intense, highest-pitched scream since the start of the event.
According to rehearsal plans, they should have maintained a stern face, but Liu Xin'an's unexpected appearance made it impossible for Bae Juhyun and Son Seungwan to keep that cold expression.
Although the overall atmosphere was slightly odd, undeniably, the beaming faces of the group incited an even more fervent reaction from the audience.
"Now, let's welcome Red Velvet and their performance of 'Queendom'!!"
The familiar music began to play amidst the roaring stadium, and Liu Xin'an, who put down the microphone, breathed a sigh of relief. He returned the microphone to the staff beside him, smiled politely, and softly said, "Thank you for your hard work," before turning back to watch the stage performance of Bae Juhyun and her group.
...
The vibrant and energetic performance on stage was not a challenge for Bae Juhyun and her group. Moreover, Bae Juhyun felt that her performance was exceptionally good this time. It's hard to say whether this had anything to do with Liu Xin'an helping with their introduction, but her outstanding form was noticed by the fans.
When the performance ended, and the screen froze on Bae Juhyun's ending pose, the renewed cheers once again brought satisfied expressions to the slightly breathless performers on stage.
Then, taking advantage of the stage darkening again, Bae Juhyun and her group quickly left the stage.
Usually leisurely and unhurried, Bae Juhyun displayed an astonishing speed this time. Her long legs in high-heeled boots moved swiftly, and everyone understood without needing to be told why Bae Juhyun was in such a hurry.
