Chapter 100: Leave it for Next Year

ides a few young professional actors, several idols who want to become actors are also competing for this role. Their agencies are putting in quite a lot of effort behind the scenes.”Kim Eun-sook gave...EXO's fans have always had a complex feeling about the song "so". Although the song was undeniably popular, reaching unprecedented levels of success and significantly improving EXO's performance in digital music charts, giving them a powerful weapon against other fandoms online: "Our Yuan 'so' reigned for eight weeks, what about yours"

Excellent results have brought many career fans immense joy, but the lyrics describing ambiguous relationships between men and women have also made a large number of Ali feel quite uncomfortable. When they see this song performed on stage, they often feel suffocated.

Pei Suzy has become a hated figure among Yuan's girlfriend fans, particularly those who support her as the "Alice" of K-pop. She is considered one of the most disliked actresses on the Korean peninsula, surpassing even other actresses like Jung Eunji, Park Shin Hye, and Red Velvet's leader Irene, who were previously rumored to have been involved with Ji Chang Wook.

The first two rumored love interests have already clarified that they are rumors, and the one after Pei Zhuxuan even the Alices themselves don't take seriously. Although many people like to scold her for this, in fact, they all see her as a joke in their hearts. In Alices' eyes, this obscure group's captain is simply not on the same level as their oppa, there's too big a gap between them.

But Bae Suzy is very threatening, so to this day on Bae Suzy's SNS you can often see Ai Li leaving comments insulting her, and the words are also quite harsh.

...while she was holding her phone and sitting in the practice room watching Mama, Seulgi of Red Velvet was unaware that she had become a joke for Ae-li. On the contrary, the emotions she felt while watching the live stream overlapped with those of Yuan fans.

Red Velvet just finished dinner and came back. Right now, they are all sitting on the floor of the practice room holding their phones. Lately, the group has been in a semi-hiatus with no schedule, so the atmosphere within the team has been somewhat average. Even Irene and Seulgi are quite active, often trying hard to make others laugh. However, because of the group's situation, their efforts haven't yielded much. In fact, the two of them are also quite downhearted inside.

However, luckily although they didn't have any schedule for the past two days, the company already arranged for them several end-of-year stage performances at the year-end song battle, including some collaboration stages with other companies' groups. It's considered to give them something to do and avoid just staying idle in their dorm.

After chatting with her friends for a while, Park Soo-young felt a bit bored. She glanced at the side where Pei Joo-hyuk was curled up, placing her phone on her lap, wearing headphones and intently watching something. After peeking curiously for a moment, she asked, "What are you looking at"

"That doesn't even need asking, MAMA right XO is participating today." Before Irene could respond, Karina shot her a glance and replied on her behalf. Thinking for a moment, she also tapped a few things on her phone. Since she had nothing better to do anyway, she decided to take a look.

"Ugh, when will we ever be able to go on MAMA" Park Soo-young sighed, voicing a complaint. As the youngest member of the group, she was still inexperienced in managing emotions and often felt down about Red Velvet's current situation. She frequently sulked, complained to the others, and was the easiest member to make cry.

"The practice room was silent, no one answered. This topic had truly struck a nerve with the others."

"Have the Jingyuan XO guys won an award" Jiang Seqi subtly glanced at others, operated her phone to open a webpage with one hand, and proactively broke the somewhat awkward atmosphere by asking Bae Joo-hyun beside her.

"No XO yet, currently awarding the best collaboration song for *so*. " Bae Joo-hyun had taken out one of her earphones from earlier and heard it without turning around. She looked at the screen and replied flatly.

"Wow, this song is so popular, the audio source scores are amazing!"

"I also really like this song. Speaking of which, during the family concert at the time, I almost collaborated with Jingyuan on this song. Later, I heard that he was worried about being scolded by his fans so he changed the song... But 'allforyou' is also very good." Sun Shengwan came alive, telling the story with a smile.

"And Jingyuan and Suzy are also..." Jiang Seqi and Son Seonwon looked at each other, smiling and nodding in agreement. However, halfway through their sentence, they stopped abruptly, glancing discreetly at Jennie before leaving the rest unsaid.

She has always boasted of being a redvelvet.

the most intelligent member of the

"We're so grateful to have received such a big award. Thank you to our hard-working managers and all the teachers who have helped us along the way..."

"Also, thank you to Park Jin-young PD for not sticking to his own opinion and ultimately choosing "So" as the collaborative song."

Looking at the screen, where Ji-won was smiling and delivering his acceptance speech, occasionally glancing at Suzy who stood beside him, Seulgi seemed to not hear the conversation between the two younger girls. Her face remained impassive, but she couldn't help but purse her lips inwardly.

"What a disgusting woman!"

"What a hateful woman! "

Similarly, Meiling Nan, who was also watching the live stream, stared at Pei Suzy's face on the screen. Her heart was filled with anger in neon language, and she even wished she could just turn off her phone and end the livestream.

She really dislikes Bae Suzy. Besides knowing that the senior of this company and Ji Sung are probably dating in reality, she also hates her because this woman once actively made trouble for her, which really embarrassed Minami at the time. In the end, she had nowhere to vent and could only hold it in her heart.

To be honest, she was quite pleased to see Pei Soo-ji being attacked by Yuan fans online. There was a sense of schadenfreude in her heart.

Of course, these kinds of words could only be whispered in her heart. Bae Suzy's status at JYP is something that this Japanese trainee couldn't even compare to.

But let me tell you something in secret, Minami was already quite happy. At this time, she didn't know what she was muttering in her heart, but as she looked at the screen, her mouth suddenly twitched upwards into a smile.

After several rappers' stage performances, Lee Kwang-soo and Song Ji-hyo, the MCs and actors who rose to fame in Asia thanks to "Running Man," took the stage together. This caused a huge roar from the audience. Just standing there without saying a word already heated up the atmosphere.

Over the past two years, runngn has been incredibly popular. Lee Kwang-soo has gained a lot of popularity and recognition through this variety show, making him very likeable to many fans of variety shows.

He is often seen as someone who doesn't put on airs and has a funny side, thanks to his appearances in variety shows. This image has somewhat solidified his public perception, unfortunately affecting his acting career negatively. Many viewers find it difficult to take him seriously when they see his face on screen, as they are immediately distracted by the comedic association.

Just like Ji-yeong, watching Lee Kwang-soo dressed in a suit and tie, looking very handsome, standing in front of the microphone and formally greeting everyone, even though the other party was serious and there was no intention to be funny at all, he still couldn't help but want to laugh.

He always felt that even in such a serious occasion, with Li Guangsu dressed so formally, he could still break into a silly grin and scratch his head the next second.

However, this is also a talent of Lee Kwang-soo's.

Under the banter between the two guests, the awards for Best Female Group and Best Male Group were consecutively presented.

These two awards are still quite prestigious, although they may not be as significant as the grand prize, they are much better than those participation awards.

The best female group was given to Sistar.

This is also Jung Eun-ji's biggest grievance. She complained to Ji-sung on the phone a few days ago, saying that in her opinion, since Apink has been so successful with their comebacks this year, this award should have gone to them.

Apk's achievements this year are indeed excellent, but Sistar is also very impressive, especially their performance in the sound source aspect is very good. Several songs have caused a big response, ranking very high on the Melon year-end chart. The title of "Summer Girl Group, Sound Source Overlord" has already been established. Even if they have some shortcomings in sales and hardcore fans, they are still one of the hottest girl groups on the peninsula.

It was through the group sistar that the small-scale entertainment company StarShip, established only a few years ago, became one of the most prominent in the mid-sized entertainment industry. At the beginning of the year, it even received investment and share acquisition from LOEN, which had left JYP, giving the company a bright future with the support of its powerful backing.

To let Ji Jingyuan see, this best girl group can be either Apink or Sistar, there's no problem with either.

The best male group that followed naturally went to EXO. Even though EXO had many problems in the second half of the year, they still managed well in May

The mini album's return results of still have a clear gap compared to other boy groups.

Nine people in dark suits stood densely packed before the stage, and the cheers from the fans below were deafening.

This award carries some weight, but the acceptance speech wasn't too long. EXO's main focus is still on the grand prize ahead. Some things are better left unsaid now; if they win later, it won't have the same impact or feeling. After Kim Jun-myeon thanked everyone in his prepared speech, Ji-sung took over the microphone and delivered a few words of thanks to fans in both Chinese and Cantonese. EXO walked off stage amidst enthusiastic screams.

Sistar, who won the Best Female Group award, was waiting backstage. The two best groups of the year greeted each other and stood together making funny faces towards the camera before walking into the backstage with the announcer.

The stage forelow, smiling and reading the host script. However, many fans below held up a banner of unknown origin and shouted loudly at Byun Baek-hyun incessantly.Both the words written on the banner and shouted...
