Celebrity Neighbor: My girlfriend is a big star?-Chapter 1132 - 503: Red Velvet’s Playful Side in Front of Fans

The dish name announcing didn't go smoothly in the end. It's not that he couldn't do it, but mainly because if he really started, people's impression of Tianjin would be completely skewed!

However, not announcing the dish names didn't change their perception much either. He adeptly performed what everyone considered stand-up comedy, dropping and catching throwaway lines by himself, while still engaging fans to respond together, looking just like a professional talk show host.

"Honestly, I got into this fandom relatively late. You all probably know that I didn't know about Red Velvet at first."

"Right."

"You really didn't know Sister Bae? That's amazing."

The fans' responses made Liu Xin'an laugh. Holding one elbow in his hand, and the mic in the other, he replied with a smile, "What's amazing about that? How did you all come to know Red Velvet?"

After that, he casually called out a number: "Number 18."

The lucky fan seated at Number 18 showed a surprised expression, stood up, and the nearby staff smoothly handed her a microphone.

"I... can I speak?"

"If you feel embarrassed, you can swap with someone else."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I started liking them when little Yeri joined the group!"

Yeri, which sounds like "椰梨," refers to Kim Yerin, the youngest member of Red Velvet known among fans.

As everyone knows, Red Velvet debuted with only four members, and Kim Yerin officially joined during the "Ice Cream Cake" era.

In other words, Kim Yerin's debut song is "Ice Cream Cake," unlike Bae Juhyun and the others.

"Ah~ 2015, right?"

"Yes! 2015!"

"So you're a fan of Yerin?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Yeri is just so cute. If I had a sister like her, it would be wonderful."

This fan seemed very excited, her voice trembling slightly.

Indeed, born in '99, Kim Yerin is just 23 years old this year. Many present are older than her, which is normal. Most attending today are fans from around the country, primarily the working millennials who can afford the travel costs.

There are some post-00s fans too, but they are fewer in number, so it's not surprising that fans refer to Kim Yerin as a sister.

However, this fan's remark made Liu Xin'an's expression quite peculiar.

Having a sister like Kim Yerin...?

That might not necessarily be a cause for celebration; on the contrary, it might feel quite troublesome, right?

With a quirky expression, Liu Xin'an stifled a chuckle, turned his head, coughed, and continued to ask the next fan.

...

Ding Yu was attending such a fan meet for the first time, although she had watched clips of Bae Juhyun and the others at fan meetings in Seoul on Xiaopo Station.

As the man on stage, serving as a temporary warm-up act, began asking fans about the moment they became interested in Red Velvet, she subconsciously started imagining how she would respond if asked.

She got into them around the time of Bae Juhyun's debut, more specifically during National Day in 2014.

As for what triggered it...

Perhaps coming across news about Red Velvet during sleepless nights?

No, no, that response isn't as interesting as the others'.

Anxious, luckily she never had good luck.

Getting picked as a lucky fan probably already exhausted her good fortune for the period.

For her, it's a good thing; she didn't wish for interaction with Red Velvet. Seeing them perform closely and quietly was already a beautiful experience.

Concerning even more pleasant memories... she dared not contemplate, nor face them.

"Deng!" A sound, and the entire theater was suddenly cloaked in darkness.

The sudden darkness flustered Ding Yu a bit, but soon, the cheers of fans beside her seemed to make her realize something.

Is it starting...?

This question hovered in her mind until the familiar tune of "Bad Boy" arose, casting light upon the darkness.

The annoying guy who was previously on stage had vanished, replaced by five people she knew and yet found quite unfamiliar.

The synchronized turning of the five drew explosive cheers from the 150 lucky fans present, comparable to the excitement of the larger crowd two days prior.

This was Ding Yu's first formally meaningful fan meet. She had initially thought she could quietly enjoy their performances until the meeting concluded.

But reality proved otherwise; she had underestimated it.

Never had she imagined, the usually quiet and introverted her, would be so emotionally swayed by the atmosphere.

Blushing, she waved the glow stick provided by the production team, following the cries of the fans beside her, fully releasing her voice.

"Ah!!!"

———

"1...2...3... Happiness, hello everyone, we are Red Velvet."

Performance over, breathing steadily, Bae Juhyun adeptly led the group in greeting today's fans in Chinese.

They had memorized their introduction thoroughly, with impeccable pronunciation and intonation.

"Ah! The sisters were so cool today!!"
