Chapter 256: Chapter 250

A little later, the interview proceeded.

Among the questions was one about Yu Zuung's lineage, which Hyunwoo wanted the interviewer to ask.

“I hear you have a Vienamese nationality. Are you from a Vietnamese family?”

“In fact, my great-grandfather was from a Chinese family, so Chinese blood is running in my body.”

“I see.”

The interview was done without any difficulty and was on air in an entertainment program several days later.

Hyunwoo released everything about her.

The first item was her pictorial. Hyunwoo had her photoshoot finished even before the music video ‘Temptation' was released. He was convinced that she would certainly embrace a day like this.

As soon as her pictorial was released, it drew an explosive interest from the public.

It was sold as a special edition for 100,000 won and a general one for 30,000 on the internet. The special edition was downloaded five thousand times on average per day, and the general edition twenty thousand times on average every day.

There were various reasons for the explosive demands for her pictorials. First of all, it was sold simultaneously in China, j.a.pan, and Southeast Asia. Secondly, there were no official photos of Yu Zuung on the internet.

Last but not least, Yu Zuung's beauty was a decisive factor in the explosive demands for her pictorial. She was just beauty itself from head to foot. In particular, the pictorial featured some particular parts of her body to underline her s.e.xual attraction, which excited numerous men in Asia.

Yu Zuung's sudden popularity invited other woman entertainers' jealousy. Some of them even tried to challenge her for a beauty contest. They put themselves next to her on purpose and made cute and s.e.xy expressions.

But their behavior like that only backfired. Most of the viewers just felt they were pitiful.

“Tut, tut. I thought she was pretty, but she is just nothing, compared with Yu Zuung.”

“What the heck? How weird Taehee's nose is! That's her soft side, compared with Yu Zuung's.”

“Wow, look at the stunning beauty of Yu Zuung! She just puts other talents in the shade.”

As the general public praised her tremendously, other female entertainers tended to avoid her. They knew that their weak points plainly came to light when they stood beside her, so they wanted to avoid it by all means.

“Are you sure Yu Zuung is also on the show? I don't want to be there.”

“We can't send our entertainers to the TV shows where Yu Zuung appears.”

Despite this, Yu Zuung was always treated as a top guest on TV shows because her appearance was much more helpful in raising the ratings than ten other entertainers.

There was once a hot compet.i.tion between two TV channels. One channel presented only Yu Zuung while the other presented several beautiful entertainers, but the viewers overwhelmingly watched Yu Zuung's channel.

Some of the female entertainers confidently decided to appear with her on TV shows. But most of them were comedians or excellent actresses.

Hyunwoo's second item about Yu Zuung was aggressive marketing of her commercial value in Vietnam and China.

Her interview with the Korean Broadcasting music program was not only aired in Korea but also in Vietnam, her home country, and China.

That was what Hyunwoo intended from the start.

As expected, there was a fever of craze for Yu Zuung in Vietnam where the Korean pop wave was firing through the country. In China, her mention of her Chinese bloodline was actively promoted as ‘a proud offspring of the Chinese people.'

The craze for Yu Zuung was also pretty strong in j.a.pan and Southeast countries. She woke to find herself an Asian star.

Her popularity directly led to a steep increase in sales of her pictorial. As she gained increasing popularity, the masks and costumes that the masked dancers put on sold like hotcakes.

And now her popularity began to spread to Europe and America. A magazine allegedly boasting of the biggest circulation in the world chose Yu Zuung as the No. 1 of the world's top 100 beauty.

After the magazine article came out she was flooded with requests for her appearance on TV and other entertainment programs. Not only Asian but also American entertainment promoters were enthusiastic about getting her on their TV shows.

Yu Zuung was literally swamped with all kinds of requests from TVs and entertainment agencies from around the world. Even she could not believe her sudden popularity. She felt as if it might disappear all of a sudden like mirage one day.

But it was for real. Wherever she went, she was recognized by many people, who yelled for joy. No matter how much she split her schedule, she was basically too busy to take a break.

Thanks to her popularity the rest of the masked dancers also enjoyed the intense attention of the public.

In particular, Soyun Han was in the spotlight. Jiah was already identified by the press, so Soyun was the only one of the three masked dancers whose ident.i.ty had remained veiled up to now.

“Who is that girl?”

“Her dancing is so s.e.xy. I wonder if her face is just as s.e.xy.”

“Why are they refusing to disclose her face?”

Many people strongly asked Ani & Funny to disclose her face, and Hyunwoo felt that the time to disclose her face was coming closer.
