Chapter 75 Shen Yu: You Make Me Laugh
"I apologize. I shouldn't have said those things to Jeon Jungkook back then. Look what I've done to him."
"I'm starting to see Newjeans and BTS combined."
"Don't say it, please don't say it."
"Can someone do a comparison between the music video and the TikTok video? What the heck is this song?!"
*
"Hahaha, Jungkook is so funny!" Ningning laughed, holding her phone in one hand and slapping her thigh with the other.
Kim Minjung nodded immediately, "Sweet wine sunbaenim is quite entertaining on variety shows... huh?"
Kim Minjung saw Ningning's phone screen.
She was very familiar with the people inside; she had even just met them before.
"..."
The air in the living room, which housed four people, fell silent for a moment.
"Ah, Minjung, it's Senior Shen Yu." Liu Zhimin immediately smoothed things over.
Moreover, compared to Ningning's sudden fear due to ignorance of the inside story, Liu Zhimin, who knew more and was even involved, saw the video earlier than Ningning.
She just didn't dare to say it.
Of course, Liu Zhimin specifically opened her phone to check Shen Yu's account.
"Hmm? Senior Shen Yu!"
Kim Minjung hugged Ningning's hand without any hesitation and pulled her to look at her phone.
"Haha, as expected of Senior Shen Yu, even with slicked-back hair, he looks incredibly handsome!"
"Huh? Haha, cool...right? You listen to this song, it's really fun!"
Uchiyoshi pulled Yoo Jimin aside.
"Minjung...it couldn't be?" Giselle pointed to her head.
"Haha," Liu Zhimin said awkwardly, pursing his lips, unsure how to describe it.
How so? Could it be that after Kim Minjung saw Shen Yu in person, his worldview was completely swayed by the man's appearance?
At this point, he even deleted all the photos of Jungkook that he had secretly saved on his phone.
They replaced all of them with photos of Shen Yu.
"...Anyway, Aeri, all you need to know is that you can now freely mention Shen Yu in front of Min Jung, and you can even mention him more often."
"Huh? Should I mention it more?"
"That's right, if you see any news about Shen Yu or any good fancams, just send them to Minjun, that's the right thing to do."
"..." It's been a while since we debuted, and we've spent so much time together.
Uchiyoshi still couldn't figure out what was going on in Kim Minjung's little head.
Korean girls are so hard to deal with.
Kim Minjung didn't feel anything at all.
After laughing with Ningning, she took out her phone, opened Shen Yu's account, and started liking and adding it to her favorites, her happy expression impossible to hide.
Isn't this just another kind of minotaur...?
Ningning only dared to secretly look at Kim Minjung's phone screen.
I discovered that she was opening BTS's exclusive cafe page while badmouthing Shen Yu in a discussion thread.
"This guy's songs are awful! What kind of taste does he have?!"
"Our Sweet Wine's songs are still the best; I need to cleanse my ears!"
"I'm going to that person's page right now to post a bad review and then report them!"
Ningning stared at the schizophrenic-looking expressions and words, her mouth agape.
Liu Zhimin knew what had happened without even getting a closer look.
Uchiga Eritoshi, standing to the side, kept her eyes down, completely absorbed in her own amusement and ignoring everyone else.
"Oppa's songs are so good! I love Shim Yu oppa the most!"
"You haters, what do you know about art?! This singing is way more artistic than Jungkook's!"
"Ha! What do you know? Have you even seen Shen Yu in person? He's only wearing makeup like that because he doesn't want Jeon Jungkook to feel too inferior!"
"..."
Ningning stared wide-eyed at the words Kim Minjun kept typing, her whole body trembling.
"That's...that's terrifying."
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Kim Minjun heard Ningning's muttering and turned around to look at her with a smile.
"No, it's nothing. I just said this song is really good."
"Right! Shen Yu is incredibly talented!" Kim Minjung smiled as if he were praising himself upon hearing the compliment. "It's such a shame you guys didn't watch Shen Yu's pre-recorded track during the last music show special!"
"Ah, yes, what a pity."
"Yeah, what a pity."
……
Similar scenarios didn't only happen with aespa. What Shen Yu didn't know was that after the music show special aired, he managed to attract a group of Jungkook's fans with his good looks and songs.
Especially Shen Yu's face, which seemed to be a super AI-optimized version of Jeon Jungkook's Pro Max, was the object of many dream girls' dreams.
This makes online comments very awkward.
If someone were to investigate the IP addresses and account codes of the posts, they would find that many of the accounts that were criticizing Shen Yu and those that were praising him shared the same IP address.
The same thing happens on various social media platforms.
True fans have no way to express their suffering, while fake fans are having a field day.
On the internet, where trolls are rampant, most passersby are misled in this way.
……
Before "Ditto" had been on the number one spot for long, Shen Yu's "Somebody That I Used To Know" pushed it down again.
The heat outside is rising, but it's still quite cool inside the YG building.
As the year draws to a close, year-end specials, music festivals, award ceremonies, and other major music shows are all piling up at the same time.
Everyone is vying for everyone's attention.
At this time, Shen Yu was very free.
The official debut date for BabyMonster will be announced early next year. The seven members have been given an early New Year's holiday, and the company said they can come back after the holiday.
The premise is that you must weigh yourself as soon as you get back, and you absolutely cannot suddenly gain a lot of weight.
Last night, Zheng Yaxuan was forced to spend the entire night in Shen Yu's studio researching how to write a guarantee.
She's a long-time offender; she's been caught sneaking snacks countless times during her years at YG.
And the number of times they went undetected was even greater.
Under normal circumstances, managers are not too strict. Everyone is a trainee and it's not time for them to debut yet. In addition, the atmosphere within YG in the past two years is different from that of YG in the past.
That's why Zheng Yaxuan has survived to this day.
Then, this time she messed up.
The studio closed early last night because Shen Yu left early.
Zheng Yaxuan wanted to eat ramen after finishing her practice late at night, but after looking around, she couldn't find a place and didn't want to go into Shen Yu's studio when he wasn't there.
Finally, I ran to a convenience store outside and bought ramen, then hid back in the YG building and found an instant hot water dispenser.
I made instant noodles and added cheese, all in one go, and finally hid in the familiar stairwell to eat my noodles.
That's when they bumped into the agent and Representative Yang, who happened to be passing by.
"..."
Having been caught red-handed, she's completely ruined this time.
The representative smiled and didn't say anything, only telling her to go home and rest early, but the manager couldn't leave without saying anything.
Therefore, Zheng Yaxuan pondered deeply and finally wrote down her explanation and guarantee.
"...What kind of crap did you write?"
"Huh? Isn't that how it's written?"
"I went downstairs to buy instant noodles around 11 o'clock. Since the Shin Ramyun was a bit spicy, I didn't plan to eat it, so I bought the original flavor Golden Ramyun. I felt it should be a bit sweeter, so I also bought two cheese sticks?"
Shen Yu picked up her guarantee and read it aloud.
"Yes, wasn't the requirement to write down the details clearly?"
Zheng Yaxuan looked serious. "Isn't this how the guarantee is written?"
"I found the water dispenser on the first floor and filled a bowl halfway with hot water. I don't like the cheese to be too soft, so I didn't put in much water, but the cheese still melted... cough cough, do you still want to celebrate the New Year?"
"I'll be going back to Chuncheon for the Lunar New Year."
"..."
Shen Yu was speechless. She was quite shrewd when she struck up the conversation...
No, Zheng Yaxuan didn't seem very clever when she was trying to strike up a conversation.
