The three MCs continued to connect this star-studded and exciting night with their tacit cooperation, quick wit, and individual charm.
For Ou Yangguang, his first experience as a MC at a major event, accompanied by his surprising solo performances, is gradually getting better and better.
He stood tall and straight next to Kim Heechul and Jessica Jung, his gaze behind his glasses following the rhythm of the stage, ready for the next transition or interaction, enjoying the stage challenge and charm that was different from pure performance.
A series of spectacular performances continuously pushed the atmosphere of the SBS Gayo Daejeon to new heights. While the audience was still immersed in the diverse performances, the next special collaboration stage reignited their enthusiasm.
Under the stage spotlight were Girls' Generation's subunit TaeTiSeo—Kim Tae-yeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun. The three members' outfits tonight were unified yet each possessed its own unique charm; their white fringed dresses were elegant and playful. When their harmonies entered with the adapted melody, they instantly showcased their amazing talent as lead vocalists of a top girl group.
There were also two EXO members. Zhang Yixing sat at the piano, his slender fingers moving smoothly across the black and white keys, perfectly blending into the rhythm of the song. His profile was focused and captivating, as if he had poured all his emotions into his fingertips.
On the other side, Park Chanyeol sat behind the drum set, his arms waving as he struck out a powerful and precise rhythm, each strike filled with strength and passion.
Halfway through the song, amidst another burst of intense drumbeats and shifting lights, Huang Zitao, Lu Han, and Wu Sehun, dressed in black suits, burst out to dance as backup dancers for the three members of TaeTiSeo.
This collaboration stage performance of "Crazy In Love" by TaeTiSeo and EXO members perfectly blended vocals, instrumental performances, and dance, showcasing the talents and excellent chemistry of members from two popular male and female groups.
When the performance ended, the entire audience erupted in cheers and screams that lasted for a long time.
While the audience was still immersed in the excitement of the collaboration, the lights were already focused on the center of the stage, where two elegant figures in formal attire appeared.
Jessica Jung changed out of her initial host's dress and put on a soft pink floral tulle dress, topped with a crown, which made her skin look as white as snow, like a princess from a fairy tale.
Beside her, Ou Yangguang had also changed out of his black suit, replacing it with a perfectly tailored pure white suit. There were no superfluous embellishments, only a delicate blue butterfly brooch on the lapel that shimmered slightly. He had removed his glasses, and his hair was styled more softly, giving him an aura of pure, elegant, and deeply affectionate princely charm.
The two stood side by side, simply standing there, like a beautiful picture.
The intro begins with the melody of Taylor Swift's romantic "Love Story," but it has been rearranged to suit the two singers' voices, with a more relaxed and affectionate rhythm that highlights the texture of the strings and piano.
Ouyang Yang spoke first, his English pronunciation clear and expressive, his voice gentle as if reciting an ancient vow. When he sang "Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone…", his gaze naturally fell on Jessica Jung beside him, his eyes filled with just the right amount of admiration and invitation.
Jessica Jung took over the melody, her clear and sweet voice perfectly conveying the anticipation and trepidation of "Juliet." Her gaze met Ou Yangguang's in the air, a hint of shyness in her eyes, but more so, a deep immersion in the musical story.
The two started by standing opposite each other, and then slowly moved closer to each other as the music played. Their simple movements were filled with tension because of the exchange of glances and the tacit understanding between their bodies.
There were no complicated dances, just occasional natural interactions. Ouyang extended his hand in a gentlemanly manner, and Jessica Jung gently placed her hand on his. When they sang together, they faced each other and looked at each other with tender eyes.
In the chorus, the harmony between the two is breathtakingly beautiful. Ouyang's voice provides a solid and affectionate foundation, while Jessica Jung's voice leaps and entwines on it like an elf, expressing the romance and sense of destiny of this classic love song in a very subtle way.
The stage backdrop features a dynamic image of a classical manor and a starry sky, adding to the dreamlike atmosphere.
As the song reached its climax, when Ou Yang sang "I got tired of waiting…", his emotions erupted. He took a step forward, his movement still gentlemanly and restrained, but the determination in his eyes was unwavering. Jessica Jung looked back at him, her eyes sparkling like stars, a happy smile playing on her lips.
During the final duet, the two singers almost looked into each other's eyes, creating an atmosphere so immersive in the music and their characters that the audience held their breath, as if they were truly witnessing a Romeo and Juliet love story that overcame all obstacles.
As the last note faded, Ou Yangguang bowed slightly in a gentlemanly manner to Jessica Jung, who gracefully returned the gesture with a curtsy. A wave of applause erupted, mingled with the excited screams of fans.
The two actors' stunning good looks, captivating voices, seamless interaction, and heartfelt performance create a feast for both the eyes and ears, maximizing the romantic atmosphere.
After the performance, the two left the stage amidst applause.
Whether it was the energetic performance of "Crazy In Love" or the beautiful romance of "Love Story," both became unforgettable classic collaboration stages in tonight's music festival.
Following these two surprising collaborations and several more spectacular performances by various artists, the first part of the SBS Gayo Daejeon concluded amidst continuous starlight and applause.
