Peninsula: I, who was originally a camera, suddenly became an internet sensation.

Chapter 10 The Man with the Mosaic Cover

Upon arriving backstage, Li Yuangang turned a corner and bumped into Red Velvet's manager and assistant.

The assistant, surnamed Jin, had a round face and wore round-framed glasses. She always seemed a bit dazed. She clearly recognized Li Yuan and waved to him from afar.

"Sister Jin," Li Yuan greeted her with a smile.

"Is Xiao Yuan here to see Wendy?" Assistant Jin asked with a smile.

Although some people think that Lee Won and Son Seung-wan don't get along, Red Velvet's management team sees their playful and teasing relationship as being just like that of siblings who grew up together.

Moreover, the higher-ups intend to befriend Li Yuan, so all they need to do is follow their wishes and treat this young man politely.

Moreover, she had heard some rumors that Chairman Lee Soo-man valued Lee Won very much. Just how much?

Some people privately said that Lee Soo-man would seriously consider trading Lee Won for a girl group member, as long as it would keep Lee Won at SM.

Of course, this should just be a rumor.

However, this also reflects the importance that the higher authorities attach to Li Yuan.

What a pity.

Li Yuan didn't seem to have any romantic feelings for the members of Red Velvet, so he couldn't be a "loyal subject to the emperor."

"Sister Pei, you're quite famous now." Li Yuan took out his phone, opened Bilibili, and handed it to Pei Zhuxuan.

On the screen was the video he had recently posted of Bae Joo-hyun dancing with a bright red wig, which had already garnered over 100,000 views and over 10,000 likes.

Aside from some pre-announced videos featuring interactions with girl groups, it's difficult for Li Yuan's account to achieve this number of views in such a short time.

His usual professional analysis and popular science videos, as well as abstract videos, all need time to gain traction, but this time they went viral almost immediately after being released.

"So I've become a little famous, you know?" Li Yuan smiled as he put his phone away, his tone a mix of self-deprecation and genuine joy.

In the comments section below the video, many people were asking "Who is this girl?" and then ReVeluv flocked to recommend her to them.

I don't know how many reasons led to her becoming a fan, but Li Yuan knows that Bae Joo-hyun has once again become a sensation with this look.

"Not necessarily," Kim Ye-rin chimed in with a grin. "Maybe you'll suddenly become a sensation, Oppa."

"Then I'll take your good wishes." Li Yuan laughed at her words, casually ruffled her hair, and messed up her bangs a little. "Who knows, I might even become a content creator with a million followers."

He didn't take those words seriously.

Bae Joo-hyun's explosive popularity is due to her own strength—her face is also part of her strength.

What can I rely on? I can't rely on this video, can I?

then……

"Wow!" Kim Ye-rin suddenly yelled, her voice so shrill that everyone in the lounge turned to look at her.

"Oppa seems to be really going to be famous...you..." Kim Yerin stammered, her mouth seemingly choked, "I...this..."

"What's wrong?" Hearing the noise, Kang Seulgi moved closer to Kim Yerin and peeked at her phone screen.

"Yeah, even though this person's face is blurred, it's still Xiao Yuan... Hmm?" She nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized what she meant and let out a questioning sound.

Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He took a step forward and reached out to take Jin Yilin's phone.

The video on the screen was posted on an unknown website. The image quality was not clear, and the shooting angle was somewhat crooked.

The video was short; it only showed Li Yuan walking up to Bae Joo-hyun and putting the big red flower on her head, and then Bae Joo-hyun smiling and patting Li Yuan on the shoulder.

This was originally just two people fooling around backstage, but once it was captured in a separate shot and paired with an ambiguous title, the situation became completely different.

Moreover, judging from the angle, it seems to have been taken secretly.

Li Yuan subconsciously glanced at the people in the lounge.

Who took the photo?

Li Yuan's gaze swept across everyone's faces, and everyone looked at him with a puzzled expression, some even shaking their heads to indicate that it wasn't him.

He didn't speak, but his mind was racing.

The most important thing now is not to find out who took the photos, but to find a way to remedy the situation, or at least divert public attention.

Just then, Li Yuan's phone started ringing incessantly.

He took out his phone and found that his fan group had exploded with activity, with many people tagging him and saying that the person looked just like him.

Li Yuan had previously posted some covers of girl group dances. Although he didn't show his face, some die-hard fans could still spot the clues.

And what's most damning is that his trip to Taiwan to see the variety show concert was made public in the group chat.

But no one was quite sure; it was all too much of a coincidence…

"You're overthinking it."

Li Yuan neither affirmed nor denied it.

This kind of thing isn't a big deal, but it's not insignificant either.

On a larger scale, it could cause Bae Joo-hyun's fans to leave, and even affect the overall image of Red Velvet; on a smaller scale, it's just an interaction with a staff member she's on good terms with, and "opportunistic people" could even use this opportunity to publish articles saying "Bae Joo-hyun is kind and gets along well with the staff."

The key is how to handle it.

While Li Yuan was dealing with the fans, Red Baby's general agent walked in.

"Li Yuanxi." He bowed to Li Yuan, "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble this time."

"That's also my problem." Li Yuan put away his phone, looked up at him, and said, "So, have you figured out how to solve this?"

Since SM already knows about this, there shouldn't be any major problems.

He has confidence in SM's ability to handle these kinds of incidents. When it comes to marketing and public relations, if SM claims to be second, probably no one would dare to claim to be first.

"Yes, the company has already come up with a solution." The general manager straightened up. "Since the concert has just ended and most of the reporters and related personnel have not yet left Taipei, we plan to hold a clarification event to formally explain this matter."

"We guarantee that it will not affect Li Yuanxi's personal life."

"Looking for a reporter?" Li Yuan was taken aback.

In this kind of situation, you either need to handle it quietly and pretend nothing happened, waiting for the hype to die down on its own; or post a brief explanation on your personal social media account, such as "Just a staff member, please don't misunderstand."

How did it come to the point where a special clarification meeting is needed? This is a bit too much of a fuss.

"Yes, we will provide a separate explanation." The head agent's eyes flickered for a moment before he looked away, avoiding eye contact with Li Yuan.

His reaction made Li Yuan realize something.

"Okay." Li Yuan stared at him for a few seconds before nodding. "Don't reveal my personal information."

Although it has been almost completely exposed.

"Yes, we definitely guarantee that." The manager said, handing Bae Joo-hyun a piece of paper. "Eileen, you can take a look at what's inside."

"They even have the manuscript, yet they still say it wasn't written by you..." Li Yuan muttered softly, but ultimately didn't say it aloud.

Just ask Lee Soo-man for some kickbacks later; making things difficult for this manager now won't solve anything.

"You guys figure out how to solve this, I have a ton of things to do here," Li Yuan said helplessly, looking at his phone which was practically being bombarded with messages.

Now it's not just his own fans, but other people are starting to send messages too.

Even Victoria Song called.

At first, she thought the two of them were just close, but she never expected it to have come to this.

She said, "Li Yuan has never been to a concert this seriously before. Why is he making a special trip from Beijing to Taiwan to see one now?"

"Sister Qian."

"No, we're not together."

"It's all a rumor. I just felt that Sister Pei and that flower matched well, so I put it on her."

……

"Yes." Li Yuan glanced at his agent, then whispered, "It was probably your company's doing."

"I will be careful."
