Chapter 126: Stunning Revelation

icing and hasn't had much contact, he has heard quite a bit from the members during their conversations and knows that this is not a simple industry. 。"You guys aren't debuting soon, right I just hear...Purple Rain Forest is a band from the peninsula, consisting of one lead vocalist and three members. Although their popularity and fame don't compare to top artists, their skill is still quite good. Ji Kyeong-won thinks the lead singer’s voice is very deep and pleasant to listen to.

After the performance of Ziyu Lin, several rappers took the stage for a rap performance. Lee Han-eol and Park Jae-fan.

Pool Kyung-won doesn't really feel much for this style of rap usually, to be honest, he only knows Park Jae-bum because of the scandal a few years ago and that he was once a member of 2PM.

But he saw that the YG seniors sitting in front of the artist seats were all very involved, nodding their heads to the rhythm of the rap and clearly enjoying the performance on stage. Unlike him, who was only there out of a sense of duty.

After the opening, the camera frequently cuts to the artist's seats. Besides EXO, who gets a lot of screen time, G-Dragon receives the most attention. Today, he sports a yellow hairdo styled like sashimi, which is incredibly eye-catching. Coupled with his status as one of the three major award contenders and his immense popularity, every appearance on the big screen triggers a wave of cheers.

After that, Ziyu Lin returned to the stage, and everyone sang together, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

This opening was pretty good, although the audience might not have understood the rappers' lyrics, the combination of the band and the rappers created a really strong atmosphere that got the crowd hyped. It didn't take long for the audience to start getting into it.

After the opening act, tonight's MC host takes the stage. This year, it's multi-talented solo artist Lee Seung-gi.

Last year's MAMA was hosted by Song Joong-ki, and this year it's Lee Seung-gi. The organizers seem to favor popular young actors for the role of MC. Following this trend, it's likely that they'll invite Park Seo-joon soon.

When Li Shengji appeared, he was very stylish. However, at the beginning of his hosting, he seemed a bit nervous. Besides speaking English awkwardly, it was obvious that he wasn't well-prepared. He would pause to look at his script after every sentence, and his speech was choppy and interrupted, which significantly lowered the audience's perception.

Last year, Song Joong-ki's opening performance was bad, but he spoke fluently and without much issue when hosting. As for Lee Seung-gi, it seemed like he just got the script, and maybe hadn't watched it before.

Interestingly, the two presenters for the first award, "Best Female Dance Performance," were Seong Jun and Kim So-yeon. Seong Jun, you might remember, was the model-actor who had been linked to Suzy a few times before. Hearing his name, Ji Chang-wook couldn't help but seriously eye him twice.

But he didn't think Sheng Junyan was particularly handsome in real life. He wasn't sure if it was a styling issue or something else, but besides having a good physique, he didn't have a very good aura either. He looked much less handsome than the pictures he had seen online before, and even less attractive than Wu Shixun standing next to him at the moment.

"What do you see me doing"

Wu Shih-hsuan turned his head slightly and glanced at Ji Jingyuan, finding his gaze somewhat strange.

"Nothing, I just think the male guest isn't as handsome as you."

Ji Jingyuan's eyes were fixed on the stage, but he was chatting with Wu Shixun.

"What do you mean by 'not yet' I was already handsome, okay It's just that the makeup isn't as striking as yours." Ui Seong-hun wasn't pleased with Ji Kyeong-won's sincere compliment. He felt a bit resentful instead.

Chi Jingyuan nodded noncommittally.

"Maybe so,"

The awards for Best Female Dancer were consecutively won by CL of 2NE1 and then SISTAR. Afterwards, it was the turn for popular duo Trouble Maker's stage.

This stage was obviously carefully prepared, and a VCR was even filmed to set the mood. The performance theme was presented in a skit format, followed by the music of "No Tomorrow" rising, and a male and female dancer began a lively dance performance.

The limited-time duo TroubleMaker was formed in December 2011. Their self-titled debut album's title track, "TroubleMaker", caused a huge sensation. The pair's fiery dance moves and signature whistle sound created a significant stir across the peninsula at the time, boosting both their individual popularity and that of the group.

Two years later, they released their second mini album in October this year. The title track "No Tomorrow" was also well-liked and welcomed by many people.

It's just that the time limit for this limited collaboration is almost up. This should be TroubleMaker's last collaborative album as a duo.

"Ahhh..."

At the end of the performance, the whole audience erupted into a frenzy of screams. Everyone was stunned by what they saw on stage. Many people in the artist's seats were also shocked. While Ki Chanyoung kept his composure, his pupils dilated slightly, clearly surprised by what he saw between the two performers.

The two TroubleMakers, HyunA and Jang Hyunseung, were embracing each other at the end of their stage performance when they unexpectedly sealed it with a kiss.

This is definitely not a show, the big screen gave us close-ups, it was truly lips touching and some additional actions afterwards.

This is a super bold move for idols, even if maybe each idol does this often privately, seeing it directly on stage is really shocking.

The audience and artists' reactions proved it, with deafening screams rising and falling in waves. Even the idols themselves were so shocked they couldn't speak.

After the awards ceremony... even before it ended, Ji Jingyuan estimated that the forums on the Peninsula side were already flooded. The two people's endg would definitely cause a huge reaction and discussion, bringing great heat.

only their two fans' loyal fan's mood how will be, will be happy or not is unknown.

"jiji…"

Park Chan-wook sat in front of him, clapping and shaking his head in admiration.

Ji Jingyuan recalled that during a previous conversation, Park Chan had mentioned that Trouble Maker's Hyuna and Jang Hyun Seung were previously a couple who dated for a considerable amount of time.

They were very familiar with each other, and when they performed some fiery dances, their expressions and movements were natural, without any awkwardness or sense of distance.

So, when performing songs like "TroubleMaker" and "No Tomorrow," their stage presence is very captivating and full of feeling.

Chi Jingyuan was also clapping non-stop, feeling a bit emotional.

If he were to do this on stage, fans would probably go crazy. Given his and EXO's fanbase size and intensity, the woman wouldn't know what kind of anti she'd be facing.

After several more awards were presented, 2NE1 and Swedish DJ duo IaPop took to the stage for a performance.

2NE1's performance was amazing. The makeup and stage presence of the four members were also very outstanding. Their new song, "Miss You," which was officially released yesterday, is also very good. Ji-Sung likes this song a lot.

After seeing such an explosive performance just now, for some reason, the subsequent performances always feel a little lackluster.

Throughout the entire awards ceremony, EXO had no involvement whatsoever. They didn't have any segments, performances, or even awards. They just sat there blankly for the whole duration as time slowly passed by.

They didn't perk up until the very last award at the top.

Today's MAMA is divided into three parts: upper, middle, and lower. Each part lasts about an hour, with breaks and advertisements in between.

And the three major awards will also be revealed at the end of each section. At this time, the award to be presented immediately above is one of the major awards, 'Song of the Year'.

Before in MMA, EXO won this award.

Although all three major awards appear to be of equal importance, the final award of "Album of the Year" in the third part carries more weight in people's minds. This is because it is the closing act of the ceremony and allows for an extended acceptance speech.

Under everyone's gaze, 'Song of the Year' was awarded to senior Zhao Rongbi's .

As expected, veteran musician Jo Rongpil has made a comeback after several years, and the song has performed well. His win of the grand prize is also uncontested.

Zhao Rongbi didn't attend the ceremony and definitely knew in advance that he was going to win this grand prize. He recorded a thank-you VCR which played during the award presentation.

Although the EXO members might be a little disappointed, their goal this time wasn't 'Song of the Year.' They already won that award before.

This time they are targeting the last finale, the 'Album of the Year'.

First release on the Traditional Chinese Novel Networkntered it occasionally in the background. This time, it's considered a formal acquaintance.And with Jung Eun-ji as the mediator, they both felt a sense of familiarity with each other.After the introdu...
