Chapter One Hundred: Crossing the Year

're coming, wow I think Jiyeon and Hala are really awesome.""Didn't you hear that HOLA and BEAST have a member dating Jiyeon seems to have a lot of people chasing after her too.""I guess so, who cares...After finishing recording for "Challenge Kim Jong" on December 23rd, K-Team went to Arirang tv to record a stage on the 25th. 。

Christmas Day is December 25th, and besides Jung Eun-ji, Apk hasn't had many schedules recently, giving her plenty of time. Sun Na-eun, who has been religious since she was little, hoped that Park Kyung-won could take some time out to go on a date with her on this day. Unfortunately, Park Kyung-won was really busy and couldn't make it. She got upset about it and hasn't contacted him for several days.

Chi Jingyuan wasn't in the mood to care. Besides his busy personal schedule, he also had to record a show with his team and practice for the year-end stage, keeping him so busy that he couldn't even sleep well at night.

After that, the two teams had no more stage schedules and began to focus on practicing in the studio for the last few days of the three major television stations' New Year's Eve parties. 。Every year, at the end of the year, the three major television stations on the peninsula will hold New Year's Eve parties, and in the last three days, they tacitly avoid each other's time, and their names are also different. SBS calls its "Song Battle", which is broadcast live on December 29th. 。KBS is 'Song Festival', live broadcast on the 30th. 。while MBC is 'The Music Festival', broadcast live on the last day of the year, December 31st. 。Three television stations' New Year's Eve parties annually invite popular singers and trending idols of the year to perform, making it one of the most important performance stages at the end of the year. The viewership is very good, and it can gain a considerable amount of exposure and discussion. 。Generally, only artists with a deadline will be invited to perform, even if they haven't received an invitation, the management company will try their best to promote the artist. 。The 2012 SBS Gayo Daejeon began at 8:45 PM on the 29th. 。

SBS's Gayo Daechukje is the most gimmick-loving among the three major television stations, basically coming up with some special stages every year to attract audience attention.

This year, they recruited from several popular idol groups, such as BEAST, SISTAR, and 2AM, to form four temporary units: White, Black, Blue, and Red. Each unit was assigned a famous producer and composer who wrote a song for them to perform at the event.

To cater to this hype, the theme of this year's song battle is called "TheLOROfK-POP". 。It has to be said that this project is very good and has attracted a lot of attention. 。

Like a large-scale event like MAMA, this will also be divided into two parts, with a break and advertising time in between.

EXO's stage was in the second half of the first part, which is a pretty good performance time for a rookie group. The song they performed was still "MAMA".

This stage, K team went on first, and after singing the first chorus, M team made their appearance.

Everyone wore white sequined stage outfits, the visual effect on stage was decent, but it might not be as impressive as their performance at MAMA a while back. 。Then they went backstage, sat in the artist seats acting as audience and clapping enthusiasts, giving a little reaction when the camera panned over to them. 。Throughout the entire event, besides the four temporary groups bringing quite a few surprises, there were two things that left Chi Jingyuan with the deepest impression. 。The first one is the host. This year's song battle host is two women and one man, IU Lee Ji-eun, Miss A Soo-ji, and actor Jung Kang-yun. 。

The two female MCs performed very well. Besides their striking appearance, their words and expressions were also excellent. Their performance was not much worse than that of professional MCs.

One wore a white dress and the other a red one, their combination caught the attention of many. During the celebrity interview session, Pool Jingyuan noticed that many male idols were eyeing them. 。Those who are bold will stare without hesitation when there are no cameras, while those who are more introverted will occasionally glance at them. 。In comparison, male MC Zheng Kangyun seemed quite ordinary. He was like a wooden man throughout the entire event. Not only was his tone of voice sleepy and monotonous, but he also stuttered when speaking. He didn't have much expression on his face either, and his performance wasn't great. 。

In contrast to him, the two female MCs standing beside him were even more eye-catching.

The second place is even more interesting, IU and SJ's Eunhyuk reunited. 。After the photo incident last month, the two of them became a hot topic online for a while. Many female fans of Silverheart quit being fans, and they were attacked by both fans and passersby. This also had some impact on SJ. 。It is said that due to this incident, ** even intends to let Silver Hae enlist early. 。

And IU's image has also been greatly affected. Recently, there have been a lot of negative comments about her online. Her innocent girl image has been greatly shaken, and her popularity among the general public has declined.

At the same time, she was also being targeted by SJ's hardcore fans. On every forum, you could see SJ's fans fabricating all sorts of ridiculous rumors and exaggerated lies to frantically smear IU. 。Although both companies have issued clarifications, black fans and hardcore supporters don't care about them at all. And the damage to their image can't be repaired with just two statements. 。

This period of time IU has probably been going through a tough time, but she also rose from obscurity, having worked hard all the way. She should be mentally stronger.

And thankfully, her agency has always been supportive and hasn't given up on her at all. 。After that, whether it was IU, Eunhyuk, or SJ, they all began to completely avoid each other. The two groups of artists who had been getting along pretty well before suddenly seemed like complete strangers. 。Before the party started, backstage, Ji Jingyuan noticed that they weren't communicating at all. 。

And in today's song battle, IU acted as the MC. When interviewing SJ at the artist's seat, she stood behind Eunhyuk. The two who were involved in a big controversy before appeared together again.

When they were in the frame together, online forums immediately started buzzing with posts, pictures of them together were quickly shared, and they also topped trending topics. 。

However, the two were really professional throughout, maintaining business smiles without any awkwardness. Their expressions were natural, and their movements were harmonious. The previous incident seemed to have never happened at all. There wasn't much of the love-hate entanglement and feuding that many viewers wanted to see, which disappointed many.

When they were in the same frame, Chi Jingyuan sat on the side and back where the camera couldn't capture him. He watched the whole thing, a smile on his face, but in his heart, he found it very interesting. 。As expected of a professional artist, he still has a lot to learn. 。After the SBS Gayo Daejeon, EXO participated in MBC's Gayo Daejun on the 31st. 。

As for the KBS Music Bank on the 30th, they didn't participate. It's unknown whether it was because their popularity wasn't high enough to be invited or if their company declined the offer. Ji-seong didn't seem to mind, as having one less stage to perform on would make things a lot easier.

Not only EXO, but also Girls' Generation and f(x) didn't participate. However, Yuri went as the MC, looking stunning in a white dress. Apparently, she even trended afterward. 。Compared to SBS, MBC's year-end party wasn't as flashy, and there weren't any particularly memorable moments for Ji-sung. Overall, it was pretty average. 。This time, only team K participated in the MBC year-end party. Team M flew to Xia Guo yesterday and will perform on the Jiangnan TV New Year's Eve stage at the same time as team K's performance. 。The same group performed at New Year's Eve parties in two countries at the same time, and that group is EXO. 。After the singing festival concluded, a brilliant display of fireworks erupted in the heart of the city, blossoming into dazzling blooms against the tranquil night sky. 。That also means that the exciting 2012 has officially become history, and time has entered 2013. 。

First published on the Traditional Chinese Novel Networkidn't erupt in the excited screams they used to. Instead, after a moment of chaotic commotion, they hurriedly tiptoed and held up their banners and posters with all their might, shaking them gently ba...
