Volume 1 2009 Chapter 83: Follow-up
Because of this embarrassing incident, Bae Joo-hyun now changes into loose clothes whenever she gets home and wraps herself up tightly, not exposing herself at all.
Yi Haoyan also realized that his behavior at that time was indeed a bit inappropriate because of Sister Enxi's revelation. In the past few days, he didn't know how to explain to Sister Zhuxuan, and he didn't know how to apologize.
Fortunately, Zhu Xuan is also a gentle person. She did not show any more displeasure to Yi Haoyan, and continued to get along with him in a friendly manner as usual. This made the boy feel embarrassed. He put a lot of thought into the dinner every day, adding a lot of delicious and non-fat new dishes, so that Sun Enxi, who had just returned home, could enjoy a feast.
"How did you cook this chicken breast?" Sun Enxi praised while chewing.
"I found this healthy recipe online. It looked good, so I tried it. I'm glad you like it." Yi Haoyan said while subconsciously observing Bae Joo-hyun's expression.
Zhu Xuan was eating slowly and smoothly, and she noticed Yi Haoyan was looking at her. She smiled at him and said nothing. She practiced dancing every day and did not eat enough at the company. It was rare for her to have such delicious food at home that would fill her up without making her fat. She was very happy.
"Chicken breast is rich in protein and low in calories, making it a great ingredient for weight loss." Yi Haoyan seemed to be encouraged and introduced it while eating: "But the problem is that it tastes a bit dry and hard to absorb the flavor. If you want it to taste good, you need oil and salt, but this will increase the calories , which is not conducive to the original intention of losing weight."
"Oh? So how did you do that?"
Sun Eun-hee asked with interest.
"According to the recipe, salt and black pepper are used to season the chicken, and garlic, honey and olive oil are mixed and wrapped on the surface of the chicken breast to lock in the moisture of the meat. The lid is covered and simmered over low heat. The chicken cooked in this way is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste should be good."
"Well, it tastes good." Bae Joo-hyun nodded.
"I coated it with seasoning a day in advance, wrapped it in plastic wrap and refrigerated it for a day, so that it could absorb the flavor and retain moisture. When I sliced it just now, juice came out, which was quite good."
"Oh my, you are worthy of being my precious genius brother, you are so capable."
There is a reason why Sun Enxi is the big sister. She can often see the essence through the phenomenon.
As she was talking, she changed the subject: "Why did such delicious diet food only appear in the past few days? Could it be that you are suddenly interested in losing weight?"
Having already experienced Sister Eun Hee's sharpness, Yi Haoyan was already prepared. He said calmly, "This is mainly for Sister Joo Hyun. She needs to manage her body shape and keep herself lean, so she can't eat too much carbohydrates. But the amount of exercise she does in dance practice is very high, and she will not get enough nutrition if she doesn't eat."
"In order to look good on camera, celebrities often need to be thinner than normal. As a result, eating less or even not eating has become the norm for female celebrities. This is actually very unhealthy. Before Joohyun debuts, she should eat more nutritious and non-fat food to build a good foundation for her body so that she can be a healthy beauty in the future."
"Tsk tsk! You're such a healthy beauty. As your sister, don't I need to manage my figure?" Sun Eun-hee teased, while Bae Joo-hyun on the side covered her mouth and chuckled without saying anything.
"You are different. Sister Eunhee's management is different from Sister Joohyun's."
Yi Haoyan said seriously: "The camera has a magnifying effect. If you want to look good in front of the camera, you have to be thinner than your normal healthy body, otherwise you will look fat on camera."
"The Korean entertainment industry currently has a bad aesthetic tendency, pursuing the 'paper man' type of beauty. Personally, I don't agree with it. In comparison, I think the European and American aesthetics of muscle lines are healthier. But this trend is not something I can change. I can only make preparations first and let Sister Zhuxuan lose weight healthily. Sister also knows the intensity of the schedule of Korean artists. Without a good physical foundation, they can't stick with it."
"Eunhee is different. You are a person behind the scenes. You don't need to be photogenic. And it doesn't matter if you gain weight occasionally. You just need to manage it yourself. If Joohyun gains weight in front of the camera, her professional attitude will be questioned and she will be attacked by the public. Your situation is different."
"Well, my debut is still uncertain! Why are you considering so much?" Bae Joo-hyun felt embarrassed. Haoyan's concern made her feel warm, but wasn't it too early to consider these things now ?
"Sister Zhuxuan, don't worry, you will definitely debut. Don't underestimate SM's vision," Yi Haoyan said affirmatively: "Don't compare yourself with ordinary trainees. You are different from them."
"Is it because of Sister Eun-hee?" Bae Joo-hyun asked uncertainly.
Yi Haoyan and Sun Eunhee smiled at each other, looked at Pei Zhuxuan seriously, and said with a smile: "Sister, you must have confidence in yourself. Your selection into SM has nothing to do with Sister Eunhee. You were selected based on your own strength. Sister Eunhee only met you after you were selected!"
"But there are many people selected, but only a few can debut. Just because I was selected doesn't mean I can debut, right? I failed the last F(X) audition. Although I really want to debut, the chances are actually slim. It's not as certain as you say."
Bae Joo-hyun sighed rarely, pouted helplessly and lifted her chin.
"Haha, it's rare to see Sister Joohyun with a troubled expression ! Even with this expression, she's still beautiful!"
Yi Haoyan smiled and praised: "That's not the case. I said my sister is different for a reason. Listen to me."
Son Eun-hee also signaled to Bae Joo-hyun with her eyes to listen carefully.
"Korean idols are essentially a business. Dreams, youth, and honor are just incidental packaging. Making money is the fundamental thing."
“The first criterion for evaluating a debut group is whether it can make money.”
"Of course, big companies and small companies have different eating habits. Small companies need to survive, so sometimes they are more impatient. Companies like SM, as the overlord of the idol world, naturally have their own ideas and methods. Sister Joohyun is also aware of this."
"Well, SM's plans and programs are generally longer-term, and each debuting group will have a style design. To some extent, SM is a company that creates trends." Sun Eun-hee also agreed with Yi Haoyan's evaluation.
Yi Haoyan nodded, looked at Zhu Xuan and continued, "SM's trainees are trained by the company with money. Each person selected means that the company will only have investment in them without output for a period of time. Although they have to pay it back after debuting, for those who don't debut or give up halfway, the company's investment is wasted."
Bae Joo-hyun nodded as she listened.
