104 The stage with skyrocketing views
On the stage, Song Qixian's four teammates gradually appeared.
The light suddenly changed color, Song Qixian's mouth curled up slightly, and his sudden sharp eyes made the camera aimed at him seem to tremble.
The look in his eyes was the most replayed on subsequent stages.
"Aa ...
【Ahhhhhhhhh Song Qixian! 】
A deep and clear bass rap sounded from Zhou Heyu's mouth. The newly composed rap lyrics and strong drum rhythm made the audience nervous.
It seems like something is coming.
On a fully microphoned stage, the voices of the five Kaleido members were clearly audible. Occasionally, there were heavy breathing sounds, but it did not affect the overall effect of the stage.
The five-person, coordinated sword dance, combined with the movements of the backing dancers, was particularly impressive. When the chorus began, fireworks burst forth, dazzling and dazzling.
The screams of countless audiences are hidden beneath this gorgeous scene.
In the end, Fear led the four gods, and the five tall and handsome figures disappeared from everyone's sight.
On the screen, God was furious and helpless.
After the performance, Song Qixian hugged Park Yoo-eun as soon as he got off the stage.
Park Yoo-eun was stunned for a moment, and then everyone hugged each other happily.
"We actually did it! It was awesome!"
"Kaleido, fighting!"
The ecstasy of the five people made some groups waiting in the wings extremely envious. Even in the backstage, they could hear the enthusiastic shouts and screams of the audience in front, the sound was so loud that it made their ears buzz.
You know, even with tens of thousands of people in the arena, it's still pretty obvious which groups are hot or not. For a popular group, the decibels from the audience can blow the roof off the room. For a less popular group, there's just a sparse chorus of voices. Even more awkward, the idols interacting on stage get barely a peep from the audience.
The cheers Kaleido received were what every new band dreams of.
Front desk, artist seats.
A male idol told his teammate, "It's not that serious. The show still has at least two hours to go. It's not the finale, so why make such a big fuss?"
Teammate: "Who told them to be in M company? I don't know what kind of luck they had, but their company was acquired by M company, and they turned into a big company boy band. Unlike us, we should just stay in a small company."
Captain Super: "I didn't expect Kaleido to be so well prepared. Looks like we're going to have a tough battle with them tonight. It's strange that he, an actor, has such strong stage charisma."
Kim Jun Hyuk: "Although their performance was good, ours wasn't bad either. Just wait, the number of views of our performance will definitely surpass theirs."
auditorium.
A real passerby who was pulled over by the little sister excitedly asked her best friend many questions.
"What's the name of the guy who opens the show? What does he do? Is he the lead singer or the main dancer? Is he the face of the store?"
My best friend replied with equal excitement, "His name is Song Qixian, the male lead in that drama I recommended to you before—Fantasy Fairytale. I'm telling you, he's so handsome in the drama, even more handsome than on stage. You really should go watch it soon, I beg you, it's a truly amazing drama."
The girl didn't try to evade the question anymore, but nodded repeatedly in agreement: "I'll go see him when I get home. He's so handsome! I just took so many photos. It's amazing."
forum.
[Amazing! The choreography, the makeup, the actors—who would have thought the show would only last five minutes?]
[I had a feeling this stage would be a big hit. I still remember that handsome look in his eyes.]
[Che is really a hidden talent. Is he using the microphone all the time? Waiting for the sound to be muted.]
[I'm not trying to be mean, I think K's stage was even more beautiful than S's, and his skills were also stronger.]
It was so good, but I felt it was too short, only five minutes. It ended abruptly at the end, which was unsatisfactory.
Tomorrow's performance comparison will be interesting. Super and Kaleido, the two most popular boy bands of the sixth generation, will have their fans eagerly waiting for the competition.
[Support internal competition and give me more stages of this quality. ]
【My favorite stage I've ever seen! 】
Back in the artist seats, Song Qixian and the others felt much more relaxed. The biggest thing was done, and the rest was just to enjoy themselves. They were in the mood to joke around.
For example, when they saw someone on the stage behind slip and fall to their knees, they all smiled knowingly, feeling the same way.
"I was so scared when I almost broke my voice just now. Luckily, that moment passed quickly, otherwise I'd be really worried that netizens would put me in a compilation of 'car accident scenes'."
Shen Minghe was still terrified when he told his brothers about an incident during the performance. Song Qixian comforted him: "I didn't even hear that you made a mistake. Minghe performed very well."
Shen Minghe chuckled: "It's in the past anyway. It's funny to see them make mistakes."
Zhou Heyu said lazily, "Don't let anyone see that you're gloating over someone else's misfortune. Once that's revealed, you're done."
Shen Minghe covered his mouth even more tightly, but still said confidently: "I am very careful not to be photographed secretly."
I don't know how much time passed before the noise from the audience behind me faded. It wasn't that they were unhappy, but rather that the long cheering had worn them out. Now, the non-top teams couldn't let them give their all.
At this time, a very funny scene appeared: the five Kaleido members yawned together, their movements were very coordinated, comparable to a group dance of swordsmen.
This hilarious scene was captured by the director, and the five of them became prominent on the big screen. The audience and the artist section burst into laughter.
Shen Minghe was terrified: "This director must be a ghost! How can he see us?"
Song Qixian was also startled: "It seems that we have to be careful when sitting in the audience."
Several people continued to endure. It had been nearly seven hours since they had walked on the red carpet. This was the first time they had experienced such a long and torturous feeling. Any joy they had in mind was wiped out in the process.
Finally, it was the last moment, and the finale was the most popular boy group in Korea - the fourth-generation boy group Quiet.
The sleepy audience became excited again, the cheers grew louder and louder, the light board belonging to Quiet lit up, and wherever they went, there was spontaneous support from fans.
This is the show of a top boy group. Not only were the audiences at the scene excited, but the audiences watching the live broadcast were also in high spirits.
You know, many people have been waiting until now just for Quiet's performance.
Kaleido and the others also perked up and stared at the stage with wide eyes.
"Wow~ As expected of a senior, when will we be able to handle things with such ease?"
Shen Minghe said with some envy.
Zhou Heyu explained: "Quiet seniors have been touring the world for the past three years, holding hundreds of concerts large and small, attracting millions of people. They have experienced such venues with tens of thousands of people countless times, which is why they can easily show off their handsomeness."
Song Qixian said confidently: "One day, we will have our own large-scale concert. There will definitely be such a day."
Park Yoo Eun said, "Quiet sunbaenim performed five songs and didn't look tired at all. He's really very talented."
Ming Shangyu said: "They also handled the adaptation of these songs themselves. I hope that I can also independently adapt our performance in the future."
The five of them stared at each other, becoming fanboys. The pride they had just felt vanished in an instant. Compared to Senior Quiet, they were still far behind.
Quiet's performance ended with loud applause announcing the excitement of the audience.
After Quiet ended, there was another big senior performance.
The senior is the most popular member of the second-generation first-line boy group. After his solo career, he became a national singer and his fame is even greater than that of the group.
Not to mention the audience, many of the artists present also grew up listening to his songs.
So the scene was very lively when he appeared.
The senior's stage presence was steady and majestic, his microphone was as stable as a CD, and the scene of the whole audience singing along was simply shocking.
If Quiet is still the role model that everyone looks up to, then the senior is the god that few people dare to even imagine.
The senior has been popular for over 20 years since his debut and is now almost 40 years old. His songs have been popular in Korea, Asia, and the world. He is a legend of K-pop.
The applause rang out incessantly, and Song Qixian felt as if he had returned to the time when he was seven or eight years old, sitting in front of the TV with his brothers and sisters, watching the performance of a young senior. It was so nostalgic.
The 2026 MAMA Awards Ceremony ended with the host's last sentence, and all the artists went on stage together for their final interaction with the audience.
There were colorful ribbons flying in the sky, and Song Qixian was walking through the crowd looking for his teammates.
Someone patted him on the back, and Song Qixian turned around and saw it was Kim Jun-hyuk.
"Although it's not New Year's yet, I still wish you a happy New Year. Happy New Year, Song Qixian."
Jin Junhe gave him a quick hug and left before Song Qixian wanted to say anything.
Happy New Year, Junhe. Song Qixian said in his heart.
In the process of looking for teammates, Song Qixian met many people, including junior colleagues from the same company, friends from other companies whom he met while promoting his songs, and idol seniors who had transformed into actors.
Finally, he found Minghe who was chatting with his friends, Youen who was wandering around like a headless fly like him, Heyou who was looking for his teammates while chatting with his friends, and Shangyu who had been waiting for them there.
The five of them took photos on the stage with their mobile phones, and occasionally passing artists would drop in.
By the time everything was over and everyone had left, Kaleido went home after having a midnight snack, and after everyone had cleaned up and washed up, it was already past four in the morning.
Since there were no activities the next morning, everyone happily lay down on the bed and fell asleep soon after.
Listening to the soft snoring coming from Youen's bed next to him, Song Qixian thought that everyone was really tired today.
Song Qixian fell into a deep sleep. In his dream, he was no longer busy running around. Next to him sat the director's mother. She asked him, "What is our Qixian's dream? What do you want to do when you grow up?"
Little Song Qixian shook his head and said, "I don't know. I want to make a lot of money so that you and your brothers and sisters can eat meat and drink milk for the rest of your life."
A warm palm appeared on little Qixian's head, and a gentle voice rang out: "But Dean Mom only wants Qixian to be happy. As long as Qixian is happy, Mom will support you in whatever you do."
Xiao Qixian smiled sweetly: "Everyone is happy, and I am happy too."
This dream made Song Qixian's mouth curl up while he was sleeping.
The next morning, he was awakened by a scream.
Yuen was still sleeping soundly when the bedroom door was pushed open forcefully. Shen Minghe rushed to his bedside and asked Song Qixian to look at something on his phone incoherently.
Song Qixian rubbed his eyes and finally saw clearly that in the order of playing MAMA stages, Kaleido ranked fourth in terms of play volume.
His sleepiness disappeared immediately.
