That's why all the staff editing the reality show deeply understand why everyone who likes Irene would be smitten by such a foreign man.

Honestly, if you were in their shoes... anyone would be confused.

"Reality show? Is there one?"

"Just act like there isn't one. Treat Irene the way you usually do, and continue treating her like that in the show. Oh, be sure to banter with her, whine even if you get hit. We're planning to set you up as the comic relief character."

"..." Liu Xin'an fell silent, this time he couldn't dodge the punch?

But fortunately, Bae Juhyun's little fists don't hurt that much.

If it were Li Chenglu, one punch might make him cough up blood...

"I've been watching a lot of 'Same Bed, Different Dreams' lately."

"Ah, are you looking for some inspiration from the Choi-Uh couple?"

"Well... they're seniors, and it seems the vibe is quite similar to mine with Irene."

In the Choi-Uh couple, Uh is always the one in charge of being funny, while Choi's sense of humor isn't as strong, and he usually plays a quieter role.

The same goes for him and Bae Juhyun; forcing Bae Juhyun to create content for the show is not easy. You must know, Bae Juhyun's interactions with him are different from her interactions with the members.

Not to mention anything else, just this whole act of being cute...

When Bae Juhyun is with the members, she often plays the role of the big sister who's taking care of everyone.

But when she's with him, she transforms into a delicate maiden who can't lift a shoulder or carry anything.

Making such a Bae Juhyun work a show effect? Completely unrealistic!

"Their success is not easily replicable; you still need to showcase the unique qualities of you two."

"Unique qualities?"

In the video, Lee Yeonju twirls her pen for a few seconds, then her eyes light up.

"Do you mind singing or dancing on the show?"

This question stumped Liu Xin'an.

Even though he knows he's not a good singer, he just really wants to sing, so when he's in a good mood, he often hums a few tunes during live streams.

Singing, Liu Xin'an feels, requires practice.

Just because he can't carry a tune doesn't mean he should give up practicing, right?

Otherwise, he'll never learn how to sing.

This urge became stronger once he knew Bae Juhyun's identity.

However... every time he brings this up, Bae Juhyun... not just Bae Juhyun, but her sisters all look horrified.

Eventually, Liu Xin'an gave up on this idea.

Indeed, when he was single, having a bad singing voice just made the livestream more fun.

But now he must protect his girlfriend's identity; it's really not good for the superstar Irene to have a boyfriend who can't sing a tune.

"I can sing, but..."

"After you and Irene were on 'Knowing Bros,' many fans were very curious about how bad your singing voice really is."

"...Isn't that a bit too blunt?"

"It's for the show's effect, you understand, right?"

"I understand, but being so blunt, I'm really not pleased."

"Then just sing!"

Liu Xin'an quickly calmed down; at this moment, he couldn't fall for Lee Yeonju's tricks!

He waved his hand, changing the subject: "Anything else?"

"Well... would your family be willing to come on the show? Or would Irene's family be willing to?"

These two are 100% heading towards marriage in the future, so... the appearance of their parents would definitely add flair to the show.

After all, they're trying to capitalize on the popularity of observational reality shows, so why not invite both sets of parents to do a 'See Liu Xin'an and Bae Juhyun's Daily Life' Reaction?

Right, just like 'My House's Kids' + 'Same Bed, Different Dreams (Couple Version)'

Yep... all the elements are here.

This question stumped Liu Xin'an once again.

He's okay on his side; his father definitely can't appear, but his mother's no problem, plus she's originally Korean and always had a dream of being on TV, especially since she submitted a resume to S-M... to Lee Sooman, to be exact!

But the problem is, Bae Juhyun has always protected her parents and sister very well. The most taboo thing for a celebrity is exposing family members to the camera.

After all... sasaeng fans have always been around; some extreme fans will choose to meet Bae Juhyun's family when they can't meet Bae Juhyun herself.

And Bae Jinhee is living well now, if it becomes known that Bae Jinhee is Bae Juhyun's sister, it would bring a lot of trouble.

Liu Xin'an was about to veto this idea on behalf of his girlfriend when a thought suddenly crossed his mind.

Wait... if his parents can't help him conceal this trip to Europe to find Bae Juhyun, can he enlist the help of Bae Jinhee and her parents?

His eyes brightened more and more, feeling this idea was promising.

But his suddenly clear expression made Lee Yeonju misunderstand quite a bit.

"Would you be willing?"

Lee Yeonju's voice brought Liu Xin'an back, and after pausing for a second, he shook his head firmly: "That's definitely impossible, try another idea."

"Ah, what a pity."

———

The meeting lasted over an hour, Liu Xin'an stored away his tablet, crossed his legs, holding his phone.

Koreans generally have a habit of staying up late, he's well aware of this.

As a Korean herself, Bae Jinhee naturally has this habit too.

So even though it was already past ten o'clock at night, Liu Xin'an still tried his luck by sending his future sister-in-law a message.
