Chapter 270: Sweet interaction sparked heated discussion and won the Grand Bell Award again

On Sunday, the RM program met with the audience as scheduled.

Although RM's ratings have declined compared to its peak in 2015.

But that doesn't mean audiences aren't paying attention.

On the contrary, with the changing times, more young people tend to watch programs on demand on online platforms.

Judging from the fact that RM has over 300 million subscribers on YouTube, it appears on topic lists every week, and it is ranked in the top five or even top three of the audience's favorite programs in the Gallup survey every month, its influence and popularity remain as high as ever.

At the same time, the full advertising sponsorship of the program also proves its commercial value and market position.

It is worth mentioning that in all Korean variety shows over the years, it is rare to find a variety show that is filled with full advertisements.

Only "Infinite Challenge", "My Little Pony" in 21 and "RM" have achieved this achievement.

But the overseas audiences of the first two programs combined are not as large as RM.

This also illustrates from one aspect the influence and appeal of RM in the market.

This episode has attracted much attention due to the participation of Kim Ki-hyun and Lee Ji-eun in the trailer.

This also led to many viewers turning on the TV to watch on time after a long time.

In addition, Jin Qixuan’s fans, U Aina, and their “working CP fans” are also looking forward to this rare screen collision.

Four fifty.

RM starts on time.

As the exciting melody of the opening theme sounded, the audience was instantly ignited and waited with great anticipation for the exciting content to follow.

The camera switches quickly.

Familiar faces of the members appeared in front of the audience one by one: Yoo Jae-suk, Ji Seok-jin, Kim Jong-kook, HAHA, Song Ji-hyo, Lee Kwang-soo, and today's special guests Kim Ki-hyun and Lee Ji-eun.

The theme of this episode is "Food Special".

Originally, the audience might have thought it would be a relaxing talk show about food and drink.

However, the first unit clip turned out to be the long-awaited "Bell War".

This instantly excited the audience.

You know, the last bell chase was back in 2013.

With the grouping completed, the competition officially began.

The first shot focuses on Lee Ji-eun hiding behind a mirror.

She carefully stuck her head out and looked around nervously with her bright eyes.

Suddenly, she noticed the presence of the VJ following her, so she quickly waved at the VJ, motioning him to come closer.

However, before VJ could get close and hide, a rapid bell rang suddenly.

Li Zhien's heart suddenly tightened, and her expression became tense in an instant.

She seemed to realize something, but she wasn't sure.

The sound of the bells seemed to become the accompaniment of her heartbeat, making her feel uneasy.

Immediately afterwards, Jin Qixuan poked his head in.

Their eyes met behind the mirror, and the air seemed to freeze for a moment.

This scene, coupled with the special effects after editing, makes people laugh.

The audience seemed to be able to feel the awkwardness and tension between the two, which added a bit of anticipation to their subsequent interaction.

Subsequently, Kim Ki-hyun launched two leaps and three captures on Lee Ji-eun.

The show's effect soared and reached a new climax.

Kim Ki-hyun showed excellent pursuit skills, while Lee Ji-eun acted coquettishly and cutely to stay alive.

This relaxed and funny interaction between the two made the audience in front of the TV watch with great attention, with laughter and cheers one after another.

Especially when Kim Ki-hyeon successfully captured Lee Ji-eun, the cat-and-mouse game between the two finally came to an end.

After being caught, Lee Ji-eun dramatically lay on the ground and started to act like a spoiled brat. This scene will undoubtedly become Lee Ji-eun's famous scene.

Her cute appearance and playful actions immediately won laughter and applause from the audience in front of the TV.

The CP fans in front of the TV were even more crazy about it. They laughed one after another and said that this scene was extremely sweet.

Kim Ki-hyun and Lee Ji-eun not only brought joy to the audience, but also spread a lot of pink bubbles invisibly.

Of course, their pink bubble broadcast only accounts for part of it.

During the bell chase, clips of other members also brought countless joy to the audience.

For example, when Kim Jong Kook climbed to the top of the rope as light as a swallow to avoid being chased.

The members below picked up their marbles and aimed at Kim Jong Kook.

For a moment, marbles flew like raindrops, and Kim Jong Kook had to dodge left and right. The scene was very funny.

The scene where Kim Jong Kook was facing three people at the corner was even more tense and exciting. He pushed Kim Ki-hyun and Yoo Jae-suk three meters away.

At this time, Lee Kwang-soo didn't care about anything else and directly took off Kim Jong-kook's pants.

This scene also made the audience in front of the TV laugh out loud.

Later, [Kim Ki-hyeon was chased by four people and met Lee Kwang-soo], [Lee Kwang-soo and Yang Se-chan chased each other in the water], [U-style silly hunter], etc., these are also the funny points of the bell chase.

In the following five-second question-and-answer game session, laughter continued, constantly refreshing the audience's happiness index.

Especially when Kim Ki-hyeon listed Lee Ji-eun's three shortcomings without hesitation.

After hearing this, Lee Ji-eun slammed the table and stood up, looking as if she was going to sacrifice Kim Ki-hyeon to the gods.

The audience in front of the TV couldn't help laughing.

When the show ended, the discussion about [RM Kim Ki-hyun & IU] on social media instantly topped the hot discussion list, attracting the attention and discussion of countless netizens.

Some netizens jokingly called Kim Ki-hyun the "IU Hunter".

They joked that his special attention to IU on the show was as if he had installed a GPS on her and could always find her.

Some fans are also curious about how IU manages to be both smart and cute at the same time. This cute contrast makes people unable to help but love her.

As netizens discussed heatedly, the search volume for Kim Ki-hyun and Lee Ji-eun's names on social media also rose rapidly, becoming the hot topic of the day.

The RM program team also took the opportunity to release a collection of cuts of the two's sweet moments on the show, further sparking heated discussions and speculation among fans.

Just one hour.

The video of [Kim Ki-hyun & IU - RM Sweet Moments Collection] quickly became popular on YouTube, and the number of views quickly exceeded one million.

In the video, whether the two were interacting during the game or looking at each other while eating, they showed the special emotions between them.

Especially those gentle eyes and sweet smiles that are revealed inadvertently, make people want to cheer for them.

"They really look like a young couple!"

"Help! I'm so touched! I'm obsessed with this couple!"

"The way Jin Qixuan looks at IU is so doting! Who can understand?"

"IU always smiles so happily in front of Kim Ki-Hyun, there must be some special reason!"

"Maybe it's because they know each other so well, so IU behaves more genuinely in front of him."

"Haha, now that you guys mentioned that, I also started to think there's a play! The atmosphere between Kim Ki-Hyun and IU is indeed different."

"It's just a show effect, don't over-interpret it. Kim Ki-Hyun looks at Park Bo-Young with affection."

"Don't forget, Jin Qixuan is a rising star in Chungmuro. His eyes are just part of his performance, used to create the atmosphere of the show."

"Indeed, Jin Qixuan is a good actor."

"But IU can't act. Apart from being cute with U Aina, when has she ever shown such a special way of interacting with other male guests on the show?"

"How dare you! Who can say that he can't act?!"

“kkkkk…”

"Maybe they are really dating! They just haven't made it public."

"Wow, if they are really together, they would be such a perfect match!"

"Yeah, yeah! They really are a perfect match!"

"Let's not speculate too much and wait for D agency to reveal it."

……

……

If anything, RM's latest episode just brought a sweet guessing game to the audience.

Then the following "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator" was more like a reasoning competition, which aroused the endless curiosity and desire to explore of netizens.

[Kim Ki-Hyun said in the guesthouse that he doesn't eat any sweets, but IU is a dessert fanatic in the guesthouse. So I don't need to say whose chocolates and candies are in the refrigerator (/dog head)]

[It is also possible that Kim Ki-Hyun was influenced by IU. 】

[You've got it covered, but what about the words on the sticker on the strawberry box? Those words are clearly IU's special font! ]

[This...maybe it's just a coincidence. After all, there are many people with similar handwriting. ]

[It can't be a coincidence, this is obviously written by IU to Kim Ki-hyun. ]

[I think so too. IU once said in an interview that she only writes to important people in her special handwriting.]

[The word "Strawberry" is indeed suspicious, but we cannot rule out the possibility that the program team deliberately arranged it for effect. 】

[Yes, I think so too. After all, variety shows always need some topics and hot spots to attract audiences.]

[Oh, stop discussing this and go to the Grand Bell Awards official website to vote for Kim Ki-Hyun! ]

……

These speculations spread quickly on the Internet, sparking heated discussions among netizens.

Everyone is trying to find the truth in every detail of the show, as if that is the whole fun of their lives.

However, only the parties involved know the truth.

11 month 16 day.

The Grand Bell Awards officially announced the voting percentage of candidates for this year's Best New Actor.

The results showed that Jin Qixuan was far ahead of other candidates with 51.6% support.

The voting system remains open until the 22nd.

Jin Qixuan's approval rating continues to rise.

It eventually reached an astonishing 60.2%.

This result undoubtedly caused a warm response among fans and industry insiders.

In the selection rules of the Grand Bell Awards, the public vote and the jury vote each account for 50% of the weight.

Jin Qixuan now accounts for about 60% of the public vote.

60%X0.5=30%.

There are nine judges in the Grand Bell Awards, and each judge's vote accounts for approximately 5.5%.

In other words, as long as three of the nine judges vote for Jin Qixuan, his chances of winning the Best Newcomer award are 46.5%.

However, if the three judges did not vote for Kim Ki-hyun, the Grand Bell Awards would undoubtedly face huge controversy and criticism.

After all, Jin Qixuan performed so well in the public vote that if he did not receive due recognition from the jury, such a result would obviously be hard to believe.

Assuming that four judges vote for Jin Qixuan, it means that even if the other five judges cast all their votes for any one candidate, it will not change Jin Qixuan's fate of winning the award.

Such a scene makes fans full of expectations and confidence in Jin Qixuan's winning the award.

On the eve of the award announcement, the entire Jin Qixuan fan circle was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere. Major media outlets speculated on the jury's voting results.

Fans are cheering for Kim Ki-hyeon in various ways, hoping that he can win the Best New Male Artist award again at the Grand Bell Awards.

Finally, under the spotlight.

At 10:25 p.m. on October 6, the Grand Bell Awards was held as scheduled at the Grand Theater of Sejong Center for the Performing Arts in Seoul, South Korea.

The scene that night was star-studded and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Outside the venue were countless fans and media reporters, who were eagerly waiting to catch a glimpse of their favorite stars.

Unlike previous award ceremonies, Jin Qixuan did not feel uneasy because of his overly fancy outfit this time.

As the face of the Gucci brand, he knows that this is the best time to showcase his unique charm.

So, when he stepped out of the car in a luxurious Gucci couture outfit.

The outside field instantly triggered waves of excited and high-pitched screams.

The fans went crazy. They waved their cheering sticks and shouted Jin Qixuan's name loudly.

Media cameras also focused on him, capturing his every subtle expression and movement.

Jin Qixuan smiled and waved gracefully to his fans, thanking them for their enthusiastic support.

Amid deafening shouts and flashing lights that brightened the day, Jin Qixuan walked to the billboard.

At the request of fans and media at the scene, he posed for a few pictures and then turned around to leave his autograph.

Then, after answering a few questions with a smile from the host outside, Jin Qixuan walked down the red carpet and prepared to enter the backstage.

at this time.

The outfield, which had just quieted down, erupted again with screams like boiling water.

Jin Qixuan stopped and turned to look curiously.

It’s Yoona.

(I’m too lazy to describe it, just post the picture.)
Seeing this, Jin Qixuan stopped and waited for her for a while.

After a while, Lin Yuner, who had completed the process, walked up to Jin Qixuan who was waiting for her and said with a smile:

"What a coincidence! I was just looking for you to talk about something."

"Guest appearance?"

"No, no, no, I'm going to interview for the second season of Bed and Breakfast. Do you have any suggestions?"

Speaking of which, after the first season of "Hyori's Homestay" was broadcast, the response, topics, popularity, and revenue brought to the program team were all very high.

It is no less influential than Lao Luo's "Flower Series".

Therefore, with such a good IP, JTBC TV station will naturally start the second season.

The second season is expected to start filming in early January.

They wanted the original cast to perform the show, and invited Kim Ki-hyun and Lee Ji-eun.

But both of them declined due to their busy careers.

Lee Ji-eun is very busy with her "Palette" national tour and "My Mister" filming at the end of the year.

Jin Qixuan will attend various award ceremonies, endorse products, shoot magazines at the beginning of the year, charity galas, and portray his role in "The Villain".

Therefore, the program team sent invitations to many artists they saw.

Lim Yoona is one of them.

"suggestion?"

Jin Qixuan thought for a moment, shook his head and said:
"You just need to go in with this face on, and you will pass 100%."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yoona couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, her eyes curved into crescent shapes, making her look particularly adorable.

"Really? But I also want to perform well and leave a good impression on the production team and the audience."

"So can you cook?"

"In terms of life skills, I think I am pretty good. I can take care of the elderly and take care of babies."

"That's it. You can cook, drive, and take care of people. Plus, you're popular and pretty. You'll definitely pass the interview."

Jin Qixuan shrugged, looking extremely confident in Lin Yuner, and continued:

"With a capable assistant like you, the couple probably do nothing else but show off their affection in front of you every day."

Lin Yuner heard this, a hint of expectation flashed in her eyes, and said:
"Excuse me, besides this, is there anything else you want to say to me?"

Yoona was nominated for Best New Actress, so it went without saying that she wanted to hear what Kim Ki-hyeon had to say.

Jin Qixuan was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

"What? Saying that it would be nice if your acting skills were as good as your life skills?"

"..."

Looking at Lin Yuna's pursed lips, Jin Qixuan secretly said badly.

I accidentally said what was on my mind.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan smiled awkwardly, apologized, and immediately slipped into the inner field.

As Lin Yoona looked at Jin Qixuan's fleeing back, her flat chest heaved violently several times.

Then she recovered as before, with a pleasing smile on her face, and walked into the inner room slowly, holding up the hem of her skirt.

The number of actors and actresses attending this year's Grand Bell Awards was much higher than last year, but there were still some artists and filmmakers who did not attend.

However, among the artists present, there were many acquaintances of Jin Qixuan.

Sol Kyung-gu, Jo In-sung, Park Seo-joon, and Song Kang-ho, who will be working with Kim Kye-hyun next year.

Therefore, after entering the inner field.

Jin Qixuan didn't even sit down, but wandered among the various "uncle circle actors" like a butterfly.

After bringing smiles to their faces, Jin Qixuan returned to his seat and waited for the show to begin.

At seven o'clock sharp, the award ceremony started on time.

The award ceremony process of the Grand Bell Film Awards and the Blue Dragon Film Awards is quite similar, and the first award to be announced is the Best New Actor Award.

The big screen then lit up.

Selected excerpts from the works of the five candidates were played.

Let the audience feel the charm of their acting skills again.

After the playback, the big screen was divided into five parts.

The faces of these five best male newcomer candidates are shown respectively.

Seeing Jin Qixuan's face in the center, his fans screamed excitedly, waving slogan boards and cheering sticks in their hands like stars.

The award presenter walked onto the stage with an envelope in his hand and a smile on his face, and he kept the audience in suspense before he spoke.

"The competition for Best Male Newcomer is very fierce, and each nominee has demonstrated outstanding acting skills and potential. Now, let's reveal the winner of this highly anticipated award!"

After that, the award presenter opened the envelope, took a look, and then announced loudly:
"The winner of the 54th Grand Bell Awards Best New Actor Award is——"

He paused, looked around, and saw that the audience was staring at him, expecting an answer.

"He is Kim Ki-hyun who plays Hyun-soo in "The Untamed"! Congratulations!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience burst into applause and cheers as violent as the ocean waves.

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Jin Qixuan!!!"

……

at the same time.

The other four equally outstanding shortlisted actors had a flash of disappointment in their eyes and expressions of disappointment on their faces after hearing the name of the winner.

After all, deep down in their hearts, even the tiniest bit of hope is enough to give them a glimmer of hope for honor.

However, the competition is so fierce that only one person can stand out in the end.

Jin Qixuan was sitting in the audience. When he heard his name being announced, he was stunned for a moment.

He widened his eyes and looked at the award presenter on the stage, as if to confirm that he had not heard wrongly.

It wasn't until he saw the award presenter smiling and nodding at him that he dared to believe it was true.

Then, Jin Qixuan stood up, hugged Park Seojun who was not far away, comforted him, and said:
"The fact that you didn't win an award doesn't mean you're not good enough. On the contrary, it's because you're too good that we decided not to give you an award to prevent you from becoming complacent."

Although Kim Ki-hyeon's words were somewhat joking, they also revealed his recognition and encouragement for Park Seo-joon.

Park Seo-joon was amused by Kim Ki-hyun's words:
"Okay, I know you're great, go get your award."

Later, Jin Qixuan was on his way to the podium.

Lin Yuna gave him a beautiful eye roll.

However, Sol Kyung-gu, Cho In-seong, and Song Kang-ho stood up, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said some compliments.

At this point, Jin Qixuan took the stage.

After receiving the trophy and flowers from the award presenter, I stood in front of the microphone and felt the applause and gazes from all directions.

He took a deep breath and then bowed to the audience.

Upon seeing this, the audience below once again erupted in screams like boiling water.

"Ahhhh!!!!"

……

"First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the judges of the Grand Bell Awards. Your recognition has given me great encouragement."

"Similarly, I would like to express my special thanks to every member of the crew of 'Bhunhaan Party', whether it is the leading actors in front of the stage or the staff behind the scenes, you have all made great efforts for this work."

"In addition, I want to express my gratitude to Blossom Entertainment for their training and support. At the same time, I also want to thank my agent, Byung Wook, for always being by my side and giving me endless strength."

"Also, I must mention my family, especially my uncle Kim Jong Kook. Your continued support and love are my motivation to move forward."

"At the same time, I would like to thank my pet Thumper Rabbit. Your existence has brought endless warmth and happiness to my life."

"Finally, I want to say thank you to the fans who have always supported and loved me. It is your support that has made me more determined in my beliefs."

After saying this, Jin Qixuan bowed gracefully and then slowly walked off the stage.

The audience once again burst into warm applause to express their appreciation for his performance.

As Jin Qixuan's thank-you speech came to an end, netizens who were watching the live broadcast expressed their curiosity, wanting to know when he started raising rabbits as pets.

at the same time.

In the private space of the nanny car, Lee Ji-eun's eyes were fixed on the live broadcast screen, watching intently every moment of Kim Ki-hyeon at the Grand Bell Awards ceremony.

When she saw Jin Qixuan walk up to the podium and accept the honor that belonged to him, her heart was filled with indescribable pride and joy.

Especially when Kim Ki-hyeon mentioned his words of gratitude to her on the stage, Lee Ji-eun unconsciously showed a satisfied smile on her face.

Then, she tapped the screen of her mobile phone and quickly switched to the chat interface with Jin Qixuan.

His fingers moved briskly across the keyboard, sending out a message:
"Congratulations on winning the prize, but now I like Tweety Bird."

The award ceremony site.

Jin Qixuan's phone vibrated slightly.

He was slightly stunned, looked around, and seeing that there was no camera filming him, he quickly took out his mobile phone to check.

After seeing Li Zhien's message, Jin Qixuan frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and quickly replied her with a question mark.
