As the last sentence fell, the man added, "This piece has elements of traditional Chinese opera, doesn't it? Your dance was excellent—very infectious."
Wen Rou felt quite gratified by the man's assessment. Whether in her past life or her present one, she had always enjoyed being complimented; after all, life was full of enough frustrations that a little praise could always brighten her day. Ordinarily, she wouldn't take such remarks too seriously, but she was happy to accept the compliment. She enjoyed the warm, fuzzy feeling that came with it—especially since it was coming from a senior in the industry.
Wen Rou nodded and replied in Korean, "Yes, Sunbae-nim. The operatic vocal parts were adapted, as that style has become a type of popular singing in China. You are truly knowledgeable. As a Chinese person, I feel quite proud that you were able to recognize the operatic influence."
