His current job can be said to be entirely self-made, stepping up from having only one follower, without relying on his father’s help at all.

Even the recent invitation from the Busan General Consulate was because one of the staff there is a fan of his, providing him the opportunity...

Of course, it’s possible the consulate contacted him after learning his father is Liu Zhengjiang.

But even if all this didn’t exist, even if his father wasn’t some great figure, just based on his identity as a Huaxia citizen, the consulate definitely wouldn’t ignore his relationship with Bae Juhyun.

In other words... he’s relying on his country, not his dad!

This doesn’t count as freeloading, right~

"Alright, I’ve received your admission applications, welcome to enrollment!" Lee Soogeun folded the two application forms, accepted them, and then spoke to Liu Xin’an and Bae Juhyun.

And his words announced that the filming had finally entered the next stage.

...

Since the filming duration exceeded expectations, they still gave everyone a little break in between.

At the very least, Bae Juhyun and Liu Xin’an, who were constantly introducing themselves, needed to drink some water and take a short rest.

During the break, the show’s big brother Kang Hodong approached Liu Xin’an and asked, "Are you getting used to it?"

Speaking of height, Kang Hodong is actually similar to Liu Xin’an, but Hodong’s broad build gives a strong sense of pressure.

Liu Xin’an was first stunned, then politely smiled, putting down the water bottle in his hand.

"I’m okay, thank you for taking care of me, Hodong hyung."

Allowing Liu Xin’an to easily call him "Hodong hyung" was something Kang Hodong mentioned from the start.

"You’re very adaptable! Do you plan to enter the entertainment industry later on?"

"Uh... I haven’t thought about it at the moment..."

The conversation caught many people’s attention, and among them, Bae Juhyun, who just went to tidy up her hair, saw it.

She quickly approached Liu Xin’an, cutely smiled at Kang Hodong.

She’s familiar with Kang Hodong, having filmed many shows together.

"What are you chatting about with Xin’an, Hodong hyung."

"Xin’an has a good sense of variety, I was asking him if he plans to develop in the entertainment industry in the future."

"Ah! He has no intention of that at all. He just came to the show to accompany me, so Hodong hyung, you can give up that idea~"

Kang Hodong has a love for talent, as one of the two great pillars in the variety world, he likes to elevate his juniors.

But since Bae Juhyun said this much, he couldn’t continue, merely nodded helplessly. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"If you ever change your mind, you can contact me anytime."

"Thank you, Hodong hyung." Liu Xin’an thanked him politely.

Kang Hodong waved his hand and went to rest on the side.

With no outsiders around, Bae Juhyun hurriedly looked at Liu Xin’an and asked quietly, "Are you okay?"

"What do you mean by okay?"

"Feeling okay? The pace of shooting, this kind of rhythm?"

It’s true that she’s happy filming earnestly with Liu Xin’an for the first time, but she also cares a lot about Liu Xin’an’s feelings.

If possible, she hopes Liu Xin’an enjoys this rare filming experience.

Faced with his girlfriend’s concern, Liu Xin’an simply nodded with a smile, "Don’t worry, I’m fine with everything, the filming is fun, no need to worry about me."

"Whew, that’s good. It’s great you can adapt."

"Don’t worry, I’m fine."

"Mm!"

...

The break soon passed, and the refreshed Bae Juhyun stood on the lecture stand again, while Liu Xin’an sat below it.

The next segment is the very classic part of "Knowing Bros."

Essentially, the guest presents a question about themselves, and the MCs are responsible for answering it.

This segment is very popular, mainly because during this time, guests often share small revelations about themselves. And gossip... everyone loves to watch.

Who doesn’t love a bit of drama?

"I know everyone must be very interested in me, so I’ve prepared a few questions for you all to guess."

"You guessed wrong, we’re not interested in you, when is Xin’an up?"

Kim Heechul, as usual, doesn’t hold back and teases Bae Juhyun mercilessly, making her glare in annoyance.

Annoyed, Miss Bae even took out the inflatable hammer, walked up to Kim Heechul, and smashed it on his head.

Of course, since it’s an inflatable hammer, even if it looks like she’s using a lot of force, it’s just appearance.

"At least listen to the question first, and besides, we made a bet yesterday regarding this segment."

Bae Juhyun returned to the desk with a smile and revealed this inside information.

This stirred everyone’s curiosity.

"A bet?"

"To be precise, not just a bet between me and Xin’an, we Red Velvet bet too..."

"Hey! Don’t say ’bet’ in front of Soogeun oppa!"

The seemingly indifferent Lee Soogeun was caught off-guard by Kim Heechul’s quick retort.

Everyone laughed together.

"Ah! It’s not about betting money."

"Hey, don’t explain, the more you explain, the weirder it gets."
