Seocho-gu, food street near the National University of Education.
Although it has long been a holy place for eating beef intestines among Seoul citizens, on the evening of April 7, the food court of the National University of Education occupied the top ten hot search topics for the first time.
For a time, people all turned their attention to the Food Street of the University of Education and the restaurant called "Uncle Pei".
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Bae Joo-hyun, who is currently the artist management director of S.M.com and the leader of red velvet, appeared as the first artist at the "Uncle Bae" restaurant.
Naturally, he put on an apron and started helping. The staff in the store all knew that Bae Joo-hyun and the boss Bae Jung-heon were in a father-daughter relationship, but they were still very excited when they saw Bae Joo-hyun's true appearance off camera.
At five o'clock, the red velvet members, who had finished their schedule and dressed up, came to the store one after another. Like Bae Zhuhyun, they also put on aprons and work clothes to help prepare to greet customers.
At about 6:30, a few friends from Bae Zhuhyun's circle came. Key, Kim Junmyeon, Minho, and Kim Yongxun entered the restaurant within five minutes of each other. Their positions had been arranged long ago, although it was the first time for the four of them.
It was a little awkward to sit together, but we were all young people and the conversation started quickly.
Customers who came to eat beef intestines nearby were very curious when they saw the newly opened restaurant. When they found that so many entertainers were in this restaurant called "Uncle Pei", they immediately started gossiping.
At the same time, there were also customers who wanted to dine in the restaurant. Seeing that there were clearly available seats, the handsome middle-aged boss said that they had already made a reservation and needed to queue up to dine.
Just when everyone was wondering who the seats were reserved for, zil, a new girl idol group that has attracted much attention recently, appeared on stage under the leadership of Bae Jong-han, the representative of Zion Entertainment Entertainment. Zis members who have not yet debuted and Lee Young-ji were also together.
At this time, people suddenly remembered the hot topic of scandals that appeared last year, Lee Sung Ho and Bae Joo Hyun...
Immediately afterwards, Tara and Sistar also came to the restaurant one after another.
The citizens watching the excitement were waiting, waiting for Li Chenghao, waiting for IU, and waiting for other artists from Zion Entertainment Entertainment Company.
7pm
Accompanied by her manager, Han Suxi also arrived at the door of the restaurant.
Next was Jo In-sung who had just finished filming.
Everyone is speculating whether Song Kang-ho will come later. Lee Jung-jae, Jung Woo-sung, Ha Jung-woo, Park So-dam, Go Eun-sung and other actors who have just joined Zion Entertainment Entertainment will be present.
Restaurant entrance
Bae Zhuhyun seemed to be relatively calm as she greeted the senior artists who kept coming.
Pei Zhengxian was stunned.
Li Chenghao said that he was arranging artists to come over to support the show. There were so many artists here at once, and every one of them was a big star that he had seen on TV.
Seeing more and more passers-by stopping on the street, the police also rushed over to maintain order.
Bae Zhengxian's wife, who was helping in the kitchen, looked outside through the window and sighed inwardly at Li Chenghao's ability. Just a random arrangement made the newly opened "Uncle Bae" restaurant a hot topic among people.
The taste of the food is the most important. After all, the artist's support is only on the opening day. If the taste is not good, no customers will come to the restaurant to eat in the future.
Sign autographs and take photos.
Pei Zhengxian was extremely busy.
At about 7:20, Li Chenghao arrived late.
People didn't see iu, and there were some speculations and rumors for a while.
Store entrance
Bae Zhengxian put his hand on Li Chenghao's shoulder and sighed: "You have called all the artists in the company here. It's really reliable."
"The opening of my uncle's new store should at least have this kind of enthusiasm, how about it? It's no worse than an award ceremony, right?"
The celebrity artists in the store can be compared to a small awards ceremony, especially since there are so many powerful celebrities in the acting world.
Taking Bae Zhengxian to the second floor where the company's artists were seated, Li Chenghao also introduced the store owner to everyone: "This is the father of Bae Zhuhyun, the director of S.M Company, and he is also my old friend."
I understand why tonight's dinner party was held in this restaurant. The atmosphere was quite good. After Li Chenghao came, he also asked everyone to eat and drink without being polite.
Following Bae Zhengxian to the first floor, he greeted the red velvet members and asked Seulgi and the others to have dinner with Minho and the others, while he put on an apron.
When Pei Zhengxian's wife saw it, she quickly stopped her: "Chenghao, you are a guest, go upstairs to eat quickly."
Pei Zhengxian also stood by his wife: "Yes, you don't want to help tonight. So many subordinates and artists are watching. The image of the president still needs to be maintained."
Pei Zhuxuan was very moved and said: "Mom and dad are right, you go upstairs quickly."
Li Chenghao unexpectedly persisted: "Today is a benefit for employees and artists, so that they can experience the president's personal service. Isn't this good?"
It was already around nine o'clock in the evening when Song Kanghao came. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Chenghao wearing an apron. He rubbed his eyes and thought he had seen it wrong.
He stepped forward and said hello: "Why is President Nim doing the waiter's job?"
"I will be the waiter today. Come up quickly. As the veteran of the company's actor department, you must take the lead in welcoming Li Zhengzai and others to join."
At nine forty, Shirley also joined the dinner party on the second floor.
Minho and the others sitting on the first floor didn't understand what was going on.
It was obvious that Shirley was an artist of S.M Company and had always been treated like a princess by her brothers, but after saying hello to them she went to the second floor.
Seulgi and Wendy looked suspiciously at Bae Zhuhyun and Li Chenghao who were coming over after finishing their work.
Li Chenghao picked up the empty wine glass, and Jin Junmyeon quickly poured him a glass of wine. After toasting, he looked at the second floor and said, "Sulli? She wants to develop into an actor in the future, so she will join the actor department of zion entertainment company."
Minho was puzzled: "President Nim, S.M Company also has an actor company."
"cc? Stop being ridiculous. What kind of acting company is that? Can it be compared with the one above?"
He raised his head and glanced at the stairs. Li Chenghao was right. Those actors upstairs can be called an actors company if they gather together.
They are all boss-level and powerful actors, and more than half of them can stir up a big banner if they take on starring roles.
Putting down the wine glass, Li Chenghao looked at Minho: "Envy?"
“A bit envious”
"Forget it, you are more suitable for singing and participating in variety shows"
What kind of blow is this?
Jin Junmyeon looked at Li Chenghao.
Li Chenghao waved his hands: "Isn't your goal to be a director? You can't be an actor either."
Among everyone, only Joy was recognized by Li Chenghao and said that it has potential and can be developed well.
Be biased
Even if they thought Li Chenghao was partial, no one present dared to say it.
Signaling Pei Zhuxuan to pick up the wine glass: "Let's go to the second floor to thank the guests who came today."
Bae Zhuhyun obediently picked up the wine glass and followed behind Li Chenghao. This scene once again stunned Minho and others.
Watching the two people go upstairs in confusion, he asked Seulgi: "What's going on with them two? Why do you feel like President Nim is a member of Joohyun's family?"
Seqi looked at Wendy, who tried to smooth things over: "Don't you know? President Nim and Oni's father have been friends for many years, and they have a very close relationship."
