Chapter Ninety-Seven: Awards and Conclusion

ve any other text you'd like translated!。"He..." Doh Kyung Soo's mouth gaped slightly, he stared dumbfoundedly at the departing Jiyeongwon, while Woo Seob just pursed his lips, not knowing what to say...F(x) and EXO are both from ** Entertainment, so they're considered senior-junior artists. Many of the members know each other because there are a lot of them. Their relationship isn't very close, but it's not distant either.

It's said that even though all five members came to MAMA this time, they were mainly there to receive awards. There wasn't a group stage performance, only Victoria and Sejeong had some solo performances. 。

The popularity of F(x) is still quite good. Their mini album 《ElectricShock》 released in June this year was a hit, especially the title track of the same name. I don't know why there wasn't a group stage performance, maybe there was a communication issue with the company.

The personalities of artists from the same company are naturally quite different.

From the moment EXO took the stage, the camera frequently cut to f(x)'s side. And these three sisters were very supportive, all wholeheartedly cheering them on, waving their arms constantly, looking like they loved the performance of their junior group very much. 。Victoria and Chung Soo-jung will be performing, they went backstage to prepare first, so there are only three people from the F(x) artist lineup. 。The director cut the camera to them again, and the three sisters were all surprised. After the surprise, they started cheering and even stood up at the same time in perfect unison, swaying their bodies along with EXO on stage, almost like real fans. 。Ji Jingyuan also saw it on stage, these sisters are really enthusiastic. Since EXO came on stage, they haven't stopped cheering, and with Zheng Eundi next to them, they can be said to be a match made in heaven. You wouldn't know if they were EXO fans who snuck in. 。

I can understand that Aber and na are pretty good, they perform well on other stages too. However, I thought Cui Xueli's previous stage performances were quite bland, almost like she was just going through the motions. It was a surprise to see her give so much face during the EXO performance.

For the filming of "To a Beautiful You," Cui Xueli cut her hair short. Today, she wore a black lace dress with a silver pearl necklace at the neckline. She is already tall and wore high heels, standing almost 1.8 meters tall. At the artist's seats, she kept waving her hands, looking very eye-catching.

Ji Jingyuan and several members of F(x) know each other, but they aren't close. They've only exchanged greetings and a few words. He doesn't know much about Choi Sulli either. 。

This sister seems to be from 1994 as well, so instead of calling her "sister," she should probably be addressed as a senior.

Although this senior was from the same year, Ji Jingyuan didn't have much interaction with her. He only heard that Cui Xueli seemed to have a very strong personality.

Under the enthusiastic cheers of the seniors, the Cover stage came to an end, and immediately followed by another group's performance of "Lucifer". Although they performed well without any mistakes, the audience's reaction was far less than that of the "Curse" stage. 。Finally, SHINee appeared. After EXO danced as backup dancers for fifty seconds, they left the stage, and then it was SHINee's turn to perform. 。Back in the lounge, everyone collapsed onto available spots. Ji Jingyuan also found a corner bench and slumped down, grabbed a bottle of water from his assistant, and started chugging it down. 。After six or seven minutes of intense stage performances, everyone was pretty tired. 。"Oh, finally done. Bro, didn't we make any mistakes" Jin Jun-myeon took a sip of water and asked the assistant beside him. 。"No, we watched the whole thing, they did a great job, and the audience responded very well, Zzang" 。The assistant smiled and waved, and the others in the dressing room clapped along, congratulating them on their perfect performance. 。After hearing this, all the members laughed, and they also clapped along. The scene looked very harmonious. 。At this time, Lee Seong-hwan pushed open the door and walked in. After seeing the scene in the room, he also smiled and clapped a few times. After it quieted down, he began to explain: "The company people who watched our stage were very satisfied, which proves that our hard work in rehearsals has paid off. After the ceremony ends, there will be a wave of promotion for this stage." 。"Within, Kang Sang-Mida 。“Members all chorused a reply.” 。Although there won't be our stage afterwards, we can't leave yet, there's still an Asian Newcomer Award in the second half to receive... 。The first half of the ceremony is over, you can go rest for a while. We'll head back to the artist seats after the second half starts. 。In the second half, several senior colleagues from the company will also be receiving awards. When that happens, they will definitely give you guys some camera time. Remember REA, make sure to show your enthusiasm and keep your facial expressions sincere. 。"If a senior receives an award, remember to stand up as a sign of respect for your seniors. You should also stand up when the grand prize is awarded...""Fight on! We've got half a game left, and then we'll go eat together." 。Li Chenghuan gave a final reminder and, after waving his hand to encourage everyone. 。The MAMA Awards ceremony is divided into two halves, each about 2 hours long, with a short break and advertisements in between. 。By the time EXO took the stage, it was already nearing the end of the first half. After their performance, they had a break in the waiting room and returned to their seats among the other performers before the second half began. 。The second half kicked off with SJ's stage. They are one of the hottest boy groups in recent years on the peninsula, and this time their stage, including the VCR, was almost ten minutes long, which also reflects their popularity. 。

As seniors, EXO naturally cheered enthusiastically when the other group performed. The camera kept focusing on them as they stood throughout the entire performance, clapping and cheering continuously.

Not long after, it was EXO's turn to take the stage to receive their award. They won 'Asian New Artist Group Award' this time.

This award is certainly far inferior to the grand prize, and it can't compare to awards like Best Group. However, its value surpasses some participation awards and is still considered an honor. 。Importantly, this award is EXO's first major award at an awards ceremony this year, which can also be considered a boost for them. 。When EXO's name was called, many members jumped up directly. Although they actually knew beforehand that they had already booked this award, they were still very excited when the moment arrived. 。When EXO came on stage, the narrator kept introducing them. One phrase really stuck with me: 'They have achieved the highest sales among this year's rookies.' 。That's not an exaggeration. Among all the idol groups that debuted in 2012, whether male or female, EXO had the highest sales, second only to a few top-tier groups. If you just look at sales figures, they could actually be considered a top-tier boy group too. 。Of course, the high sales figures are not only due to Chi Jingyuan being in the group, but also possibly related to their debut mini album being released in two versions: Korean and Chinese. 。

The final sales statistic includes all versions combined.

Generally, the winning speech for a group is given by Kim Jun Myeon, and he is always well-prepared. He thanks a multitude of people in a heartfelt manner, looking genuinely happy. 。After Jin Jun-myeon finished speaking, the members of Summer Nation gave their thanks in Summer language. Finally, Ji-sung was pushed up to give a speech in English. 。Many languages' advantages are quite obvious... But in reality, Ji Jingyuan could complete the multilingual speech by himself. 。After that, they stayed in the celebrity section the whole time. They clapped when they were supposed to clap, and stood up when they were supposed to stand up. They behaved very well, and just like that, they sat until the ceremony ended. 。
