Chapter 276: Kim Ki-Hyun dazzles at the MMA Awards, Album of the Year goes to IU
As night fell, the clock pointed to half past eight in the afternoon.

Kim Ki-hyun arrived at the Gocheok Dome performance venue to attend the annual Melon Music Awards (MMA).

The MMA awards ceremony, due to the widespread dissemination and recognition of the Melon list, has been presented to the public in physical form since 2009.

Although there are only three major awards, and the threshold for winning is not high.

However, due to its short history, its status in the industry and in the hearts of fans has not yet been on par with the Golden Disc Awards and the Seoul Music Awards.

However, compared to some award ceremonies (MAMA) that have been accused of being unfair.

MMA appears to be more fair and just in awarding prizes.

And they rarely have disputes with entertainment companies, so there are relatively few controversies.

Therefore.

Although its influence is comparable to that of MAMA.

But the award is slightly inferior in value.

Both are considered influential but not the top music award ceremonies.

Because the "Album of the Year" award presented by Jin Qixuan is one of the three major awards of MMA.

Therefore, the award ceremony for this honor is naturally scheduled at a later time to highlight its extraordinary weight and status.

The organizers' reception of Jin Qixuan was extremely thoughtful.

A super luxurious waiting room was specially set up in the backstage for their use.

This waiting room is almost like a separate suite.

Except for the lack of a bed, all other necessary facilities are available.

When Jin Qixuan entered the waiting room, the award ceremony of the first half had come to a successful conclusion, and the second half had quietly passed the halfway point.

At this moment, Lee Ji-eun was giving her beautiful stage performance.

Seeing this, Jin Qixuan sat on the sofa without hesitation and watched the live broadcast on TV with full concentration.

MMA stage scene.

At this moment, on the big screen above, Lee Ji-eun's figure slowly emerged, like a warm-toned oil painting, warm and bright.

The autumn in the picture is like an overturned palette, sprinkling a bright yellow.

The leaves of the ginkgo tree danced in the autumn wind and slowly fell, like golden raindrops, gently covering the road.

The camera slowly moved up and fixed on Lee Ji-eun, who was wearing a long goose yellow sweater.

With a smile on her face as bright as the sun, she gently placed the envelope in her hand into the red mailbox.

At that moment, her smile and the warm-toned picture complemented each other, making it breathtakingly beautiful.

Suddenly, the soothing sound of piano sounded like the gurgling of water, adding a touch of liveliness to the quiet picture.

The scene changed, and time seemed to flow back to that quiet afternoon.

In the video, Lee Ji-eun is half leaning on the table, exuding a unique literary and artistic atmosphere.

She was writing the letter with great concentration, and every word she wrote seemed so serious and affectionate.

The moment she gently pressed the ink pad, the prelude of the song "Night Letter" sounded melodiously.

At the same time, Lee Ji-eun's figure slowly appeared in the center of the stage covered by the curtain.

Under the bright spotlight, her figure was cleverly elongated on the curtain, like a flowing silhouette art.

Her every move and every turn cast a vivid shadow on the curtain, complementing her singing and performance.

As soon as the first bar of the song ended, the lights on the stage suddenly dimmed, as if night had fallen, adding a touch of mystery to the subsequent performance.

After five seconds of silence, the curtain began to slowly close upwards, as if unveiling a mysterious veil.

At the same time, the spotlight came on again, like a dazzling light, focusing on Lee Ji-eun in the center of the stage.

The big screen also switched to a close-up of Lee Ji-eun's face at the right time, showing her delicate features and affectionate eyes vividly.

Upon seeing this, the venue erupted in earth-shaking screams.

The audience was struck by IU's beautiful look.

Kim Ki-hyeon, who was watching quietly in the waiting room, was also deeply attracted by Lee Ji-eun's stunning look.

Her unique dress and temperament shine brightly on the stage, like a bright star, shining alone in the darkness.

……

As the last note of "Night Letter" trembled gently in the air, like the last ripple in the night breeze, it gradually dissipated into the endless darkness.

The big screen seemed to sense the lingering sound of the music and switched to a new picture at the right moment, which perfectly matched the previous video content and cleverly revealed the next exciting part to the audience.

In this new picture.

People were pleasantly surprised to find that they were holding a letter personally sent by Lee Ji-eun.

Each letter seems to carry her emotions and warmth, gently touching the softest part of the recipient's heart.

Those words, like her singing, are gentle and sincere, reaching straight to people's hearts.

At the same time, a group of fireflies descended quietly. They danced lightly among the crowd, like twinkling stars in the night sky.

As the picture changes, the fireflies seem to be summoned by something and gradually rise into the sky.

They fly freely in the night sky of the city, sometimes gathering and sometimes dispersing.

Like lively spots of light, they sparkle in the darkness, as if lighting up hope and dreams for every bright and shining name.

And in this dreamy scene, Lee Ji-eun's singing voice sounded again.

Her voice is like a clear stream, flowing with gentle and moving melody.

The piano played melodiously on the side, and every note was full of affection and power, interweaving with Lee Ji-eun's singing to create an intoxicating musical atmosphere.

After a while.

IU's singing voice gradually faded into the air, leaving behind her affectionate echoes and the aftertaste in the hearts of the audience.

And during this brief silence, a group of special people appeared on the stage behind her.

They were using sign language, silently but powerfully expressing their names.

Every gesture and every movement reflects their firm will and unique personality.

Their sign language was like a dance, performing a silent feast on the stage, which formed a sharp contrast with Lee Ji-eun's previous singing, yet echoed each other to some extent.

As the sign language performance came to an end, everyone on the stage sang along.

Although their voices are different from IU's clear voice like spring water, they are equally full of power and emotion.

At this moment, everyone on the stage became the protagonist. Their names, their stories, and their emotions were perfectly expressed through this chorus.

The audience was deeply moved by this scene.

They seemed to see the story behind each name and feel the unique light emanating from each individual.

After a moment, the chorus's singing receded like a wave, leaving behind a sea of ​​tranquility.

The spotlight focused again at this moment, like a sunflower chasing the sun, projecting all the light on Lee Ji-eun's head.

She was dressed in a white dress, like a fairy covered in moonlight.

Under the light, the stars on the dress shine like stars in the night sky, sparkling with charming light.

IU slowly raised the microphone and softly sang the last verse of the lyrics.

The sound was like a clear spring in a mountain stream, trickling, gentle and moving.

Every note is like a carefully carved gem, shining with unique brilliance.

Her singing floats in the night sky, like a beautiful butterfly dancing among the flowers, gently touching people's hearts.

As Lee Ji-eun sang the last chord of the last section, the entire venue seemed to be touched by an invisible wave of emotion.

The audience was immersed in this soulful singing, and many were moved by this pure and sincere emotion.

There are many sentimental people among them. At this moment, their eyes gradually become moist and tears silently slide down their cheeks.

These tears are not of sadness, but of being touched by the deep affection contained in Lee Ji-eun's singing. They are an emotional response to beauty and sincerity.

After a while, applause and cheers rose and fell, echoing in every corner of the venue.

With a twinkle in her eyes, IU smiled and thanked the audience.

As Lee Ji-eun slowly walked off the stage with her skirt lifted, the lights on the stage gradually dimmed, bringing this wonderful performance to a perfect end.

In the waiting room.

Jin Qixuan sat quietly, his eyes fixed on the live broadcast on TV.

Although the screen kept switching to other artists' wonderful performances, in his eyes, there was no room for other people.

His thoughts had already drifted back to that heart-warming moment just now. Lee Ji-eun's untainted, fresh and unworldly appearance was deeply imprinted in his heart.

Every movement she makes is like a carefully choreographed dance, graceful and moving; every look of hers seems to contain thousands of words, making people intoxicated.

Jin Qixuan closed his eyes, as if he could still feel the faint fragrance emanating from her. The fragrance was like a spring breeze, gently blowing through his heart.

At this moment, Jin Qixuan suddenly felt a strong surge of emotion.

He understood that Lee Ji-eun was destined to be restless tonight.

He decided to make the night more memorable for her in his own way.

……

In the blink of an eye, the moment for Jin Qixuan to go on stage to present the award has quietly arrived.

He stood up and slightly adjusted his neat suit to make sure he appeared in front of everyone in the best condition.

Then, he walked towards the side aisle with steady steps, quietly waiting for the pager to arrive.

After a moment, a clear and solemn voice came from the loudspeaker at the MMA venue:

"This year's three major awards will now be awarded."

"Please welcome the world-class handsome man, Jin Qixuan, to present the Album of the Year award!"

At the same time, the big screen accurately captured every wonderful moment of Jin Qixuan in the side channel.

The camera closely followed his steps and shot him straight in the face.

His eyes are firm and deep, and his skin is smooth and firm.

There is a heroic air between his eyebrows, his nose is high and his lines are smooth, giving people a feeling of elegance and nobility.

The most eye-catching thing is his charming smile with the corners of his lips curled up. That smile is as warm as the sun, which can instantly melt the hearts of all girls. The audience was amazed and cheered when they saw this scene.

In the guest seats, Lee Ji-eun had changed out of her gorgeous dress and put on comfortable casual clothes.

The moment I saw Jin Qixuan walk onto the stage on the big screen.

Lee Ji-eun could hardly believe her eyes as that familiar and handsome figure appeared in front of her.

Actually, they hadn't seen each other for two whole months.

During this long time, even though they video chat every day, IU can't help but feel a little homesick.

The most important thing is that Jin Qixuan didn’t tell her in advance that he would attend this event!
This bad guy!

At this moment, she just wanted to rush forward, give Jin Qixuan a warm hug, and tell him how much she missed him.

But reality doesn't allow her to do that.

As her eyes moved, Lee Ji-eun suddenly put her hands to her mouth and, like those young fans, gave Kim Ki-hyeon the warmest and most sincere cheer.

Although her voice was drowned out by the cheers of the crowd.

But her feelings were like those cheers, penetrating the noise and reaching Jin Qixuan's heart.

At this time, Jin Qixuan walked to the center of the stage and stood steadily in front of the microphone.

He looked around the audience, and his eyes finally fixed on Lee Ji-eun.

At that moment, their eyes met, and it seemed as if the whole world stopped.

Then, Jin Qixuan smiled slightly and said:

"Hello everyone, I am Jin Qixuan."

As soon as the words fell, the scene immediately exploded, and the audience's cheers surged like boiling water, loud and clear.

"Ahhhh!!!!"

Deafening screams and cheers rose and fell one after another, sweeping across the entire venue like a frenzy, making people's blood boil.

No matter who the fans are, they are all immersed in Jin Qixuan's charm at this moment. They wave their glow sticks and cheer for Jin Qixuan's appearance.

IU couldn't help but join the cheers. She waved her arms and screamed loudly, sharing the excitement and joy with the audience.

Facing the enthusiastic cheers from the audience, Jin Qixuan curled the corners of his mouth and reproduced his famous scene.

He raised his left hand, gently put his index finger in front of his lips, and made a "hush" gesture.

This action seemed to have magical power. In an instant, the boiling atmosphere on the scene became extremely quiet as if the mute button was pressed.

The audience seemed to be attracted by his gestures. They stopped shouting and stared at him with bated breath.

"Wow~"

There were bursts of exclamations from the artists' audience.

So handsome and charming!
Such admiration surged in everyone's hearts.

Jin Qixuan stood in the center of the stage, his posture upright and elegant, and every subtle movement revealed his immense confidence and charm.

His smile was as bright and warm as the sun, as if it could melt all the coldness and distance, making people want to get closer.

Many female artists' eyes lingered on Jin Qixuan, and their faces showed deep appreciation and admiration.

However, seeing the girls' reactions, Lee Ji-eun chuckled, with a hint of pride in her eyes.

"Very handsome, I like it, right?"

She whispered to herself, as if challenging the female artists.

Of course, Lee Ji-eun knows that Kim Ki-hyeon's charm is irresistible, but she knows even more clearly that this man is already hers.

This pride did not make Lee Ji-eun look arrogant, but instead added a bit of playfulness and cuteness.

She continued to admire Jin Qixuan's beauty, her heart filled with sweetness and satisfaction.

It seems that he should pay his dues tonight.
on the stage.

Jin Qixuan raised his wrist slightly, his eyes casually sweeping across the time on his watch, as if confirming an important moment.

Then he spoke with a smile, his voice gentle and magnetic, full of unique charm.

"It was my first time attending MMA, and also my first time enjoying the performances of such excellent singers. Every song and every performance on the stage was so touching and healing."

After saying this, he gently raised his wrist again, his eyes fell on the hands of his watch, and said:
"It's 9:30 pm now, and this moment means a lot to me. I feel extremely honored and excited to be here with you to witness the birth of the best album of the year."

As he spoke, he turned to face the large screen in the center of the stage and continued:

"Next, let's enjoy the wonderful performance of the substitutes."

As he finished speaking, the images on the big screen switched, showing the wonderful moments of the backup singers who were about to perform.

At this time, a large number of fans flocked into the MMA live broadcast room because of Jin Qixuan's appearance, and the barrage area suddenly became lively.

"Wow! The famous scene is back! So cool!"

"Speaking of which, I just checked the time three times in such a short period of time. Does he have any plans for the time being?"

"Same question to the fan club! Can you tell us about our Xuanxuan's next plan?"

"Who cares what his schedule is? Aren't you here to refresh your eyes? Just focus on looking at the handsome guy!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted laughter and comments of approval.

"That watch looks familiar..."

Sharp-eyed fans noticed Jin Qixuan's accessories and tried to identify its style.

At this time, a knowledgeable fan immediately replied: "That's a Zenith watch."

"Oh my, our Xuanxuan is really dedicated to his duties...kkkk"

……

At this time, the brand owner of Zenith captured Jin Qixuan's frequent checks on his watch during the live broadcast, and he couldn't help but feel delighted.

"She is worthy of being the spokesperson that even Gucci is reluctant to let go of. Really great!"

The Zenith brand owners were full of praise for Jin Qixuan's performance, and they spoke highly of Jin Qixuan's dedication and professionalism.

In that brief moment, brands keenly captured an encouraging sign.

They were pleasantly surprised to find that the number of page views on the official Zenith watch website had increased significantly.

This change is undoubtedly due to Jin Qixuan's dedication to the brand.

The Zenith brand rubbed their hands excitedly, quickly captured a picture of Jin Qixuan "gazing lovingly" at the watch during the live broadcast, and sent it to the publicity and promotion department.

"Retouch this picture and remove the Bulgari ring on his finger."

The person in charge specifically reminded this when sending the pictures.

He knew very well that at this moment Jin Qixuan should focus entirely on the display of Zenith watches, and elements from any other brand should not be a distraction.

After receiving the pictures, the publicity and promotion department immediately began the intensive post-processing work.

They used professional image processing technology to cleverly remove the Bulgari ring on Jin Qixuan's hand while retaining the overall texture and details of the image.

Soon, a new promotional picture was released.

In this picture, Jin Qixuan's eyes are focused and affectionate, as if the whole world is focused on the Zenith watch in his hand.

The exquisite design and elegant temperament of the watch are also perfectly displayed in this picture.

"Boss, what does the copy say?" the assistant asked cautiously.

"Just say..." He pondered for a moment, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly:
"The brilliance is restrained, and gradually it becomes more sharp - the DEFY series will witness the birth of a legend with you!"

“This sentence not only reflects the low-key yet luxurious characteristics of our products, but also foreshadows the extraordinary charm that the wearer will gradually show. Let customers feel that choosing DEFY means choosing a unique legendary journey.”

After hearing this, the assistant's eyes flashed with understanding. She quickly wrote down this sentence and prepared to apply it to the next publicity work.

She knew that this copy would become a highlight of the DEFY series, attracting countless customers who pursue individuality and taste.

At the same time, Bulgari, who also watched the live broadcast for Jin Qixuan, also took screenshots of Jin Qixuan's famous scenes and sent them to the publicity department:

“Photoshop out the Zenith watch, retouch the picture, and post it on Instagram.”

……

At this time, the exciting replays had already been played on the big screen at the MMA venue.

The outstanding performances of the four candidates seem to be still vivid in our minds.

The audience held their breath as the camera slowly turned and finally stopped on Jin Qixuan.

“Then I will publish it.”

As he spoke, Jin Qixuan slowly opened the envelope.

When he saw the name of the winner, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

This smile seemed to foreshadow something, and the audience's heartbeats quickened.

They can't wait to know who will win the award.

"2017 MMA Album of the Year——"

Jin Qixuan paused for a moment, his eyes moved around the audience, and finally stopped on Li Zhien, and said slowly:

“IU – Palette, congratulations.”

As Jin Qixuan's voice echoed at the scene and slowly fell away, the entire venue instantly boiled over, with warm applause and cheers rising one after another, as if to fill the entire space.

The camera quickly turned to Lee Ji-eun, who stood up gracefully with a smile of surprise and joy on her face, and returned the applause and congratulations to the juniors around her.

Then, as she was on the stage, the background music of "Color Palette" and the announcer's introduction sounded:

"As IU's fourth full-length album, Palette has received rave reviews since its release. This album not only includes many popular songs, but also showcases IU's talent and depth in music creation. Congratulations on winning the award!"

Because the venue was quite large, IU had not even finished one-third of the distance when the announcer's voice stopped.

And when she saw Jin Qixuan walking towards her steadily with a warm smile on his face.

At this moment, all the defenses in Li Zhien's heart collapsed instantly.

She could no longer suppress her excitement.

She took a step forward, wearing high heels and clacking her feet, and ran happily towards Jin Qixuan.

Every step she took revealed her eagerness and joy, as if the whole world only contained her and Jin Qixuan, and everything else had turned into nothingness.
