Chapter 72: The First Individual Award + Forum Format...
Kwon Ji-yong was unsure how to react.
Those words, which carried his earnest advice at the time, also pierced his own heart like a boomerang.
I have a bit of a headache.
Han Sang-hee did not miss the various emotions in Kwon Ji-yong's eyes.
In the current scene, the person in front of me actually looks somewhat like someone who has given their heart to the wrong person.
She was the one who betrayed his feelings.
She knew she was really bad.
Compared to Kwon Ji-yong's preference for intense and straightforward emotions, Han Sang-hee's reactions to anything related to feelings have so far seemed rather subdued.
This is actually closely related to Shangxi's own personality.
If you had to describe Shangxi in one word, it would be "making choices" that appears most frequently in her life.
They almost always adhere to the boundaries drawn by reason.
Han Sang-hee's style of doing things reveals a strong sense of order.
For her, order brings a sense of security and also symbolizes comfort and freedom.
If the initial disorder hadn't occurred, gradually getting to know and understand relationships would have been the predetermined path in her life.
But reality is reality, and there are no "what ifs".
The chaotic stimulation tempted her to choose to succumb to depravity.
When faced with the possibility of losing control in a relationship, letting things drift is actually a terrible choice.
She thought, "Then I'll try to learn to understand and control my own emotions."
For Han Shangxi, controlling her emotions doesn't mean constantly suppressing or inhibiting her true feelings.
After all, she has always been very good to herself.
Han Sang-hee will choose to work hard to accomplish what she emotionally wants to do.
That seemingly outrageous suggestion, which was actually quite outrageous, came to Han Shangxi's mind in an instant.
Given the current situation, and considering their respective personalities, all that's left is for them to wear down the feelings they've accumulated for each other. They might as well just end it all now.
When Han Shangxi gave his answer, he suddenly thought of those things.
In fact, constantly leaving each other in a gray area will only make things worse in the end.
Moreover, knowing that Kwon Ji-yong has feelings for women, he still keeps him trapped in the role of a senior colleague, which is actually a kind of cruelty towards him.
The relationship, which should have ended after that phone call, should have vanished completely.
It was during the moment when Han Sang-hee decided to say goodbye that she realized she had feelings for the other person.
This is a very bad habit.
Liking someone doesn't have a time lag, but I admit that liking someone in Han Sang-hee's case has a time lag.
Han Sang-hee looked at Kwon Ji-yong in front of her and sighed softly.
She really felt that today was a great opportunity.
End all of this.
"Just kidding."
The words Han Sang-hee was about to say were replaced with another sentence at the last minute.
All human behavior is a manifestation of individual self-awareness.
Han Shangxi's feelings for him were actually more than what she admitted to herself.
With Kwon Ji-yong, sometimes subtly changing the subject is more persuasive than a clear refusal.
It seemed that things should end there.
After all, what you force will never be what you want.
"I think I like you more than I thought. But, I'm sorry, Jiyong-xi."
Han Shangxi sighed softly, but his tone remained firm.
The timing is definitely not right.
"When rejecting someone, you should say some harsh words."
Kwon Ji-yong understood Sang-hee's concerns.
Let's give it a little more time then.
In the end, when the two left Shangxi's house, things were not completely clear.
As for their relationship, it seems that being entangled together is their destiny.
Perhaps because the setbacks all happened beforehand, everything went exceptionally smoothly during the actual MAMA performance.
There were no mistakes, whether it was a collaboration stage or a solo stage.
In fact, Shang Xi is more concerned with the content presented on stage than the performance itself.
As for the reactions from the audience, Han Shangxi now selectively ignores some of the comments.
For example, dissing the collaborative stage performances.
At this awards ceremony, she also won her first major award, MAMA Song of the Year, for her song "palpitate".
Seeing his name and works appear on the screen together, Han Shangxi suddenly felt a sense of grounding.
She thought she knew what to do next.
Write more songs that people love, and then use those songs to give people strength.
Being loved by many people can sometimes be a burden for Han Sang-hee.
Does she deserve so much love from so many people?
Uncertainty was unusually present in her.
Because of the uncertainty, people want to try things out and hope to receive affirmation.
If the result is negative, she will probably think, "See, she doesn't deserve so many people's love."
This mentality quietly took hold of her without Han Shangxi realizing it.
Being an artist is a profession that requires maintaining clarity and original intentions.
Han Sang-hee, who almost fell into a vicious cycle, recalled the words she had spoken the night before her debut when she received the trophy.
She has indeed gained more popularity.
When ETE is mentioned, people's reaction is no longer one of disgust.
And she herself has become a dazzling presence.
Now that we've come this far, let's keep going.
She also wanted to see if she could reach that level.
In her acceptance speech, in addition to thanking the organizers, fans, members, company, and staff, Han Sang-hee also thanked trainee Sang-hee who had seen the Seoul sky at dawn and the future Sanghee.
"Although I don't know what Sanghee will be like in the future, I think that as long as she is still standing on the stage, it is something that Sanghee should be grateful for now."
Because I really love everything about being on stage.
For idol Sanghee, as long as she stands on stage, everything is in progress, and there are many possibilities.
In addition to winning the Grand Prize, Han Sang-hee also won several other awards for her first solo album, "Palpitate".
She may still be considered a newcomer in terms of experience, but the awards she has received prove her strength.
However, with the debut of new idol groups, Sanghee is now someone who is occasionally called "senior".
Time flies so fast.
When he returned to the stage, Han Shangxi still had a smile on his face.
After thanking everyone who offered their congratulations, she finally took her seat.
Kwon Ji-yong was positioned right in front of her.
However, the two did not have any additional interaction throughout the entire process.
The saying that people often experience great success in their careers when they are going through emotional difficulties may actually be true.
After the awards ceremony, G-Dragon and Sanghee were hailed by the media as the two biggest winners of the MAMA ceremony.
[A post revealing some of the most shocking details from this year's MAMA stage performances by Li Tao. Those interested should read on.]
LZ: The two are undeniably skilled on stage, but is that incident really true or false?
The fans who broke the news on Twitter seem to be really genuine.
1L: LZ, actually, people don't usually treat SS as a fan.
If SS's revelations are believable, I'll follow my rival's schedule next time.
4L: Actually, it's not just SS, everyone is also breaking down in their defenses, big fans and loose fans alike.
After MAMA ended, fans from both sides attempted a friendly interaction reminiscent of Mortal Kombat.
7L: They really started fighting.
11L: No, I was stopped by security kkk I was there.
12L: Usually, even though the arguments online are fierce, people are still quite dignified offline. Why is it so lively this time? I remember the leak on Twitter was posted after the performance ended.
19L: The whole thing started because both sides were saying their favorite idols were being attacked by the other's fans during a performance. Who wouldn't feel sorry for their idol? Especially since it's Shang Jiesi and Long Qi! [Shh]
31L: Actually, both are targeted by antis. I like both of them, and when watching their collaboration stage, I was in a state of wanting to get excited but not daring to. Holding BB and EE lightsticks, I was a BB fan on my left and an EE fan on my right.
37L: I heard that near the end of the initial collaboration performance, someone in the audience started swearing. And that's how it happened.
Who would have thought that a collaborative stage without any physical interaction could lead to such a situation simply by looking at each other or even without smiling?
41L: There was no physical interaction, but the two of them standing there looked very close...
45L: Oh my god, fans can talk about fighting and getting into physical altercations in other threads.
I'll wait and see how everyone discusses the veracity of the leaked information.
53L: In short, true fans will only be wary of their real sister-in-law/brother-in-law.
The fans know far more than we do. Even before the collaboration announcement, some fans were already subtly criticizing it. Here are a couple of brief comments.
"Please, can you stop being so immersed in this relationship? You're rushing to a death-defying schedule for that person again. You're willing to be used all this time?"
"Unnie, just tell me it's because you're writing songs for your new album, and I'll forgive you TT"
And also, unnie, when will you realize that your taste in men has always been terrible?
67L: These words alone can't prove the truth of the rumors. At most, it just means the fans dislike the rumored partner.
—After leaving the practice room, the two went to the woman's new home and stayed for two hours. This happened on the same day the trailer was filmed.
The fact that 53L's fans broke down has nothing to do with the authenticity of the revelation.
71L: If the rumors are true, then is this a meeting of the parents, or is there something more going on? [Thinking]
73L: I feel it's the latter. When Sister Shang bought the house before, there were news reports that Sister Shang lived in the house alone.
78L: OMG, did you all have a wonderful evening together? It's no wonder the fans are upset... We need a tutorial on how to treat fans well. Fans' lives matter too!
81L: If an idol has fallen to this level of disgrace, and fans still continue to support them, isn't that self-torture? [scratching head]
86L: Nonono fans will comfort themselves by saying they like an idol who isn't the traditional type. Both sides will say the same thing, just you wait and see.
88L: This has happened more than once on both sides. I guess the fans who have stayed with us until now don't care anymore. Relationships are minor issues.
95L: If the fans don't care, are they putting on a show for us today?
101L: Yes, I do care. That's why after criticizing their own idol, fans went on to attack the person who's suspected of having a connection with their idol. If you don't believe me, you can look at the comment sections on their Instagram accounts; it's practically a battlefield.
106L: Stop, stop, stop! Two hours is being exaggerated into a whole night. No, it's less than two hours. What do you think you can do in that time?
118L: There are so many things we can do, like discussing a better future for humanity?
123L: Ahem, everyone is just speculating. I really hope some brave souls can ask the person in person what actually happened.
131L: The company definitely won't allow us to answer. Hasn't anyone noticed that the leak is still just a leak? This is the fastest PR move WYSIWYG has ever made.
137L: To be honest, I don't really believe that nothing happened between these two.
The energy they had on stage perfectly exemplified what the ultimate "divorce-like" feeling in the world of on-screen couples truly means.
144L: Okay, those who are obsessed with the idea of "Shang's immoral views" should stay away from the scene.
152L: I personally really think nothing happened on the day the story broke. No matter how you arrange the time, two hours wouldn't be enough.
153L: I agree with the comment above. Quanlong is not yet in the same generation as his uncle.
165L: If I remember correctly, Kwon Yong had just finished two concerts at that time, so it's possible that he was exhausted...
166L: I've always admired the courage of some of the sisters in your area, including 165L. Just a friendly reminder, you're about to be hunted down.
175: Oh my god, so this is what everyone wanted to discuss! [Brain freeze][Face turns yellow]
182L: We can't think like that. What if Quanlong just went to Shangjie's house to admire the flowers?
183L: Please, they went to Sister Shang's newly bought house, not Sister Shang's mother's flower shop.
192L: Relax, relax, look on the bright side. At least they went to Sister Shang's house, not a club or a hotel.
197L: What's so good about it? [Sister Shang's Silk Road Glance]
201L: Reply to 197, it's very safe.
202L: It should be very conspicuous, right?
209L: Where else should we go? The house in Quanlong Seongsu Cave? [Shrug]
222L: Go ahead and talk, kids are at the age where they love to talk. What's wrong with talking a few times? [Sunglasses]
231L: If the timeline is accurate, both of them are incredibly talented. The rehearsal time was so short, but their collaborative performance was simply divine.
237L: Someone with weaker business skills probably wouldn't have negotiated like this.
245L: Are there very few idols who are terrible at dating but have terrible skills?
251L: Putting everything else aside, didn't we agree not to create any romantic pairings? If this isn't fraud, then what is?
252L: They don't promote themselves as a couple, but the two are a real couple.
264L: What are the fans saying now? Just curious.
271L: Anyway, since there's no solid evidence, fans definitely won't admit to their idol's brother-in-law/sister-in-law.
272L: The two of you have been making a big fuss about this before, I'm used to it.
283L: I think compared to the previous revelations, this one, which is purely verbal, is too weak. The fact that it's even being discussed is thanks to the attention it gets from your community; the other two groups don't even mention it when they're arguing.
301L: Why don't you two seem to be working?
I remember that Sister Shang's family had recording equipment.
302L: Although I admit that Quanlong and Shangjie are both very dedicated, the angle of your comment upstairs is still too unique.
311L: It's no wonder everyone's thinking is divergent.
These two never followed the path of being loving senior and junior colleagues from the beginning, and fans can't make up for it by saying they're senior and junior colleagues from the same company.
317L: I've always felt that the three members of EE are isolating the other artists from WYSIWYG.
Putting aside the rumors about Shang Jie and Quan Long, when have you ever seen the other two members of EE interact with Wai Ji's artists privately? The answer is no.
322L: I suggest that the fans of the 317L Wicked Chicken Family learn some disguise techniques.
Pretending to be objective and criticizing EE here, do you want me to remind you how the so-called "family fans" cursed EE when she first debuted? But now that her junior group is about to debut, you're not cursing her anymore.
351L: The number of fans in this thread is so low today [sigh]
I originally wanted to watch the Dragon Knight and the Monk Sister argue.
354L: The fans who want to argue are all outside, they can't care about your section. Besides, doesn't everyone here have a heart for these two? It's just not an open secret.
355L: The person upstairs revealed the truth, lol. Sister Shang's control over the situation is not just talk.
She argued with a senior fan and tried to use her position to gain attention by going to the moon. Everyone was completely under Shang Jie's thumb.
Quanlong thus became a resource package for the younger generation.
367L: 355L jumped out so quickly because they can't explain the fact that you Long fans have been anti-Xi Mei since her debut. This woman is innocently suffering.
371L: And just like that, she started playing the pitiful character with such a fresh and innocent look. The acting award should really go to Sister Shang.
394L: Now the fans are spoiling the fans more than the idols are. The unnie in this thread just said she wanted to see fans argue, and here it is in real time.
402L: Actually, Quanlong and Shangjie aren't as mismatched as you might think.
After the collaboration was announced, the majority of people reacted positively.
Even your district has a ton of red drafts.
403L: But they are idols.
411L: Idols with national popularity are definitely different, right?
421L: I admit that Kwon Yong has national popularity, after all, BB is the top group, but Shang Jie is at most a very popular idol right now.
423L: Shang Jie still has too few representative works. Although the title tracks of each of her albums are pretty good, the number is not enough.
424L: Upstairs, why don't you think about how many albums Shang Jie has released in total?
The answer is one.
"Palpitate," which just won the MAMA Song of the Year award, is Shang Jie's first full-length solo single.
The group Shang Jie has only made three comebacks so far: the mini-album "ek!", the single album "EYB", and the full-length album "ECIOHC".
433L: ETE, who still managed to get the number one spot on Gallup's Girls' Group poll this year without any group activities, can't they be considered a nationally recognized artist group? [Looking up at the sky]
443L: I'm not saying anything more. I wish the world would spoil me as much as it spoils Sister Shang.
461L: To be honest, Shang Jie is spoiled because she is capable. People who excel in every aspect naturally garner more leniency from the public.
Besides being an idol, Shang Jie also did a great job as an MC. Especially ".T.", which greatly improved her public image.
Regardless of how many scandals Shang Jie has had, and regardless of how we, who are highly active in the fandom, view Shang Jie, in the eyes of the public, she is still the image of a top student.
She is well-behaved, clever, and a little rebellious.
Of course, this isn't my opinion as someone who lives in your area every day; it's what my mom said. She and her friends genuinely treat Sister Shang like their own child.
Whether or not these things were discussed, and with whom, won't have a significant impact on Shang Jie. What's most important to her is to deliver a great song for her next EE comeback.
If she can't produce good songs, or if her new album doesn't meet public expectations, she'll suffer a backlash.
466L: Good songs take time and effort. Shang Jie is obsessed with male beauty every day now... Sigh, I can only hope that EE's next comeback won't be a clichéd love song.
471L: I never thought Kwon Yong would one day be called a "male beauty" [facepalm]
472L: I understand how you feel, upstairs kkk. Please, Quanlong, don't disturb our Shangjie's songwriting [adjusting glasses]
481L: Both producers, please go your separate ways. We, the music lovers, haven't done anything wrong and still want to continue listening to good songs. [Sunglasses]
497L: Sigh, if SS wasn't obsessed with male beauty, she wouldn't have come out to expose this.
It's obvious that SS felt provoked by Sister Shang this time, so she came out to expose the truth.
501L: I remember Sister Shang had relatively few stalker fans.
502L: That was before. Ever since Sister Shang went solo, SS has sprung up like they're multiplying.
However, Sister Shang is quite tough; she always has a cold face when facing SS.
Previously, SS had pretended to be a fan and criticized Shang Jie's work attitude, but the next second she was exposed as SS.
511L: To be honest, if it weren't for sasaeng fans, how would everyone know about so many idols' misconduct?
512L: ? ? ? When did you let such an abstract person into your section?
A suspected stalker appeared to give their account.
523L: Is it something to admire when illegitimate children have no sense of morality or shame?
More than benefiting fans, sasaeng fans' revelations seem to be driven by a desire for control and a desire to be unique. I've never seen a sasaeng fan stop being a sasaeng fan after making a revelation.
534L: It's better to trust the media than the stalker fans, even though the media doesn't have much professional ethics either.
535L: The media has been unusually quiet this time. We haven't seen many press releases yet.
542L: It may seem quiet on the surface, but in reality, WJ's wallet is bleeding money every second.
555L: I wish there could be a formal collaboration. Kwon Yong and Sang Jie have such great chemistry when they perform together. As a fan of this stage, I'll probably cherish this collaboration stage performance for many years to come.
557L: Can WYSIWYG release a premium version of Trouble Maker?
558L: Don't even think about it. The probability of Waiji getting both of them to go on We Got Married is much higher than the probability of pushing a male-female limited pairing. (ps: According to scientific prediction, the probability of Zhishang appearing on We Got Married is one in ten thousand.)
563L: Is this just a teaser? I remember "Zhishang" and "Wo Jie" being linked together in your area more than once. Can someone in the industry explain this?
564L: The person upstairs is overthinking it. Every popular couple gets wished to be on We Got Married [cheek resting on hand]
If you ask here, you'll probably get rumors that start with "it is said".
571L: For example, it is said that the program team invited them, and both the man and woman were very willing, but they were rejected by their companies?
576L: What's the difference between this and saying things like "It'll be hard to end this if this couple doesn't get married"...?
Only people who are obsessed with shipping couples would believe that.
577L: Regardless, our Zhi Shang is such a loving couple.
578L: The person upstairs seems to be a troll. It's common knowledge that fans of the Zhi Shang CP usually follow immoral paths.
581L: Zhi Shang doesn't seem so bad, does he? Putting aside their idol status, the two of them together should be quite good?
585L: It's a pity, I can't let it go.
But it doesn't matter. When both parties have new confirmed rumored partners, everyone will start to miss Supreme.
Just like people who say, "I'd rather they were with xx."
587L: Human nature is such that we only ever reminisce about the past. kkk
