Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 526 Five-Kill Streak! (Please vote with monthly tickets!!)

Target practice in the void.

Liu Zhimin's sharp gaze quickly faded, and he turned to look at Kim Jisoo with a polite yet curious look.

“Uh…this is Kim Jisoo, this is Aespa.”

When Kwon Hyun-hyuk saw Kim Ji-soo, he noticed the slightly peculiar look in her eyes as she gazed at him, and then he began to introduce them to each other.

"I think you two know each other to some extent."

Kim Jisoo nodded, a gentle smile on her face, "Hello."

After a brief moment of surprise, she remained calm and didn't think much of the connection between Quan Xuanhe and the girls in front of her.

"Ani Asaiyo."

The Aespa members were her juniors, and when Kim Jisoo walked up to them, she gave them a standard bow and greeting.

"Did I interrupt your conversation? Should I go in first?"

Kim Jisoo smiled easily, seemingly not caring at all. She looked around at the others and pointed to her waiting room.

Seeing her reaction, Liu Zhimin's suspicions lessened considerably, and the subtle wariness and scrutiny in her eyes disappeared.

If they were really boyfriend and girlfriend, they wouldn't interact like this... right?

After making this simple judgment, Liu Zhimin immediately felt relieved, and the pressure in her heart was greatly reduced. When she looked at Jin Zhixiu with her big eyes, kindness and joy gradually emerged.

Kim Jisoo waved to them and then went into the waiting room.

"Is oppa going to accept the award with Jisoo sunbaenim?"

"Yes, I think it's called something like...emotive award."

Quan Xuanhe nodded, thought for a moment, and then continued.

The awards ceremony used so many nicknames that it didn't attract much attention, and people focused more on the grand prize itself.

"So it's basically a couples' prize, right?"

Jin Dongtian chimed in at this moment.

"Correct."

Looking at what Jin Dongtian said, Liu Zhimin didn't know what to say and felt a little awkward.

Seeing him receive a couple's award with another woman really gives me a...

A strange feeling.

We chatted for a few more minutes, then went our separate ways.

Kwon Heonhyuk didn't stay idle at this moment; instead, he went to visit Lee Jungjae, who was also attending the awards ceremony.

Lee Jung-jae has enjoyed immense popularity this year with "Squid Game," and he is bound to win awards at the end of the year. However, the AAA Awards ceremony leans towards popularity rather than being a purely professional acting award, so the Grand Prize naturally went to Lee Jung-jae this year.

Kwon Heon-hyuk's Best Actor award is largely thanks to the collaboration between Squid Game and DP.

The Best Actor award in the film category went to Yoo Ah-in.

The AAA Awards have three acting awards, the most important of which is the Actor of the Year award without any specific title. This is undoubtedly the most prestigious award.

Secondly, there are the actors of the year in the film and television categories.

These are only three of the most prestigious actor awards at the AAA Awards ceremony.

"The movie is expected to be released in the middle of next year, and your scenes have all been saved and not deleted."

When Lee Jung-jae saw Kwon Heon-hyuk, he raised his hand and patted him on the back, speaking in a familiar tone.

The first thing he said upon meeting was about the movie he had been longing for. Kwon Hyun-hyuk was almost used to hearing it, so he smiled and nodded.

"With you taking this so seriously, the box office is sure to be a huge success."

The film "The Hunt" is above average, and with a cast of Chungmuro ​​actors, its strong lineup and appealing political thriller genre make it an absolute sure thing; it's hard to imagine it flopping.

The explosive success of Squid Game could bring Lee Jung-jae a period of prosperity lasting several years.

"Everyone says you have a golden touch, so with you in the cast, it's bound to be good."

Lee Jung-jae smiled, his eyes narrowing as he spoke of the rumors circulating about him within the industry.

The advantages of having a "golden finger" (a powerful, influential figure) and promoting the female lead are becoming increasingly well-known in the industry.

When will "The Decision to Break Up" be released next year?

Lee Jung-jae looked at him, and suddenly a thought struck him. He remembered that Kwon Heon-hyuk had participated in Park Chan-wook's "Determination to Break Up" project, and asked him about it.

"It will probably be released in May or June, so it shouldn't clash with other releases."

Kwon Heon-hyuk currently has two projects in the pipeline: "The Decision to Break Up" and "The Hunt," in which he has a cameo role.

Film production cycles are indeed long, often starting at six months to a year, which is much shorter than the turnaround time for television dramas.

"That's good. It's a little nerve-wracking to have a movie released alongside a Park Chan-wook film."

Lee Jung-jae relaxed slightly, made an exaggerated expression, and laughed heartily.

"They are all excellent projects, and no one will allow them to be released at the same time."

Quan Xuanhe said so.

After exchanging pleasantries, Kwon Hyun-hyuk returned to his waiting room, and a short while later, the red carpet event officially began.

Idols leave first, then actors leave, and actors then appear according to seniority.

During the first half of the idol red carpet event, Kwon Seonhyuk changed his clothes in the waiting room, sat in front of the vanity mirror tidying his hair, and watched the broadcast on TV.

He was dazzled by the appearance of idols, but didn't recognize many of them until Aespa came on stage, at which point he started to perk up a little.

Rather than a formal dress, it's more like an avant-garde garment with an Aespa style, specially tailored by a stylist. The design emphasizes a futuristic feel through asymmetrical cutouts and metallic embellishments.

Dressed in black, with a cool and aloof makeup.

The live broadcast resolution was a bit blurry, but even so, one could still be amazed by Yoo Jimin's appearance.

He has a pair of very distinctive big eyes that, when he has a cold expression, present a sharp and piercing gaze that can instantly project a scrutinizing and penetrating power.

But when relaxed, the eyes will naturally relax into a soft arc, and when the corners of the eyes droop slightly, they even reveal a youthful innocence.

A cool-toned smoky eye makeup is paired with a matte burgundy lip color, while the pearlescent highlighter swept on the cheekbones echoes the glitter on the collarbone.

This shift in gaze from cold to warm creates a striking contrast and captivating charm.

If this isn't top-notch, then who is?

After the Aespa red carpet, Shin Yuna was the only other person who left an impression on Kwon Heon-hyuk.

The so-called child is still growing. She was only fifteen when she first debuted, and it took her two years to reach adulthood. Girls change a lot as they grow up, and they look different every year.

Shin Yuna has a great figure. Even though she is still developing, she has a distinct proportion of "slim waist and wide hips". Her overall lines are smooth and natural, forming a perfect curve.

She is in the process of transitioning through adolescence, and her figure already shows the graceful qualities of a mature woman.

Only four people attended today. Hwang Yee-ji was unable to attend the awards ceremony due to an injury sustained during the pre-recording stage.

Once you've covered that part, there's nothing more to worry about.

Ok?
Kwon Seonhyuk looked up and saw the host on the television broadcast in front of him starting to introduce the topic again.

"Next up is Momoland, who debuted in 2016."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk's gaze found Nancy in the camera lens, and he stared at her.

In fact, he has always believed that Nancy is one of the top beauties in K-pop, and that she is one of the best in terms of both looks and figure. There are very few active actresses who can match her.

It's a pity they never had a chance to properly develop their friendship. You see, Nancy was deeply in love with him, and the classic hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress scenario actually happened between them.

Nancy's exquisite face flashed by, and Kwon Seonhyuk didn't pay much attention to it, getting up to prepare to walk the red carpet.

Kwon Heon-hyuk, who appeared one of the first actors to appear, actually garnered just as much attention as Lee Jung-jae, who appeared last.

Wearing a well-tailored black peak lapel suit with a dark silk patterned shirt underneath, and without a tie, he accentuated his slender figure with a minimalist style.

The staff members around him were looking at him with much more focused attention than when they were watching idols.

Because this is a real celebrity.

"You can go in."

A staff member whispered something to him and then stepped back, while the host began to introduce him.

"Next up is actor Kwon Hyun-hyuk!"

"A wildly popular actor who has captured the hearts of young people worldwide!"

The moment he stepped onto the red carpet, the sound of camera shutters in the media area erupted like a sudden downpour.

Under the cool flash of the lights, his sharply defined profile was bathed in a clear, cool glow. Kwon Hyun-hyuk nodded slightly to the cameras on both sides, a perfectly proportioned smile playing on his lips.

His brows blend the storytelling qualities unique to actors with a youthful ease, and his confident stride exudes an air of refined nobility. He possesses exceptional charisma, otherwise he wouldn't have been chosen as a spokesperson by numerous high-end luxury brands.

The blurry broadcast footage couldn't hide Gao Shuai's handsome face.

Kwon Seonhyuk stood in the center, while the host continued to introduce him.

"From the groundbreaking 'The Squid Game' to the socially resonant 'DP,' he has swept the globe with his amazing character creation skills!"

Holding the teleprompter, the host's voice trembled slightly with excitement, "At only twenty-three years old, he won the Best Newcomer awards at both the Blue Dragon Film Awards and the Baeksang Arts Awards, becoming the most dazzling comet in Chungmuro!"

The sound of camera shutters grew more frequent as the host's voice rose, and the lens greedily captured the young man's profile outlined by the flashes.

He felt a little embarrassed by what he was being said, but considering that this was typical of the Korean wave's boasting style, he accepted it without making a sound.

The picture was indeed a bit blurry, but when they saw him on the red carpet, not many of the idols backstage could take their eyes off him.

In the entertainment industry, where handsome men and beautiful women abound, truly handsome men are naturally the most attractive, especially Kwon Heonhyuk, who doesn't interact much with idols these days. His appearance here is certainly a feast for the eyes of these idols.

He waved to the left and right, and then walked off the red carpet at the host's direction.

Slightly relieved, Kwon Hyun-hyuk breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, and pinched the corners of his eyes to soothe them from the constant flashes of light.

After the red carpet event, there wasn't much attention, and Kwon Heonhyuk headed to the guest seating area to prepare for the official awards ceremony.

This year's awards ceremony was hosted by Leeteuk and Jang Won-young.

Starship Entertainment is currently focusing on promoting Jang Won-young, who is, after all, a national center. They're investing resources in her early stages to boost the group's popularity and get her established before considering any balance issues later.

However, given Zhang Yuanying's tumultuous and popular nature, it's difficult to say how to balance her popularity.

After walking the red carpet, Kim Jisoo arrived at the venue. The organizers were very accommodating and arranged for her to sit next to them.

Kwon Heonhyuk sat in the middle, and Lee Jungjae was naturally in the very center. He sat next to Lee Jungjae, and Kim Jisoo sat next to him.

Kim Jisoo glanced at the seats arranged by the organizers, said nothing, and simply sat down next to him, smoothing out her skirt.

Or rather, in this unfamiliar event, Kwon Heonhyuk was the only person she was relatively familiar with; her former idols from the same period rarely attended award ceremonies these days.

Are you very familiar with those girls?

After Kim Jisoo sat down, she turned her head slightly, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, and asked him a question.

Even when she's not smiling, Kim Jisoo's lips have a gentle curve at the corners, giving off a soft and warm feeling.

"We met when we were MCs. What's wrong? Do you have any questions?"

When Kwon Hyun-hyuk heard her sit down next to him, the first thing she said was this, so he turned his head to look at her.

"You know a lot of female idols."

Upon hearing Kwon Heonhyuk's ambiguous question, Kim Jisoo gave a vague reply, then glanced around and lowered her voice slightly.

"Don't let Miyeon down."

The meaning behind those words was even more unfathomable; it was unclear whether they were a provocation or a deliberate attempt to provoke him.

She seems unaware of what has happened to her.

"You don't have to worry about it."

Quan Xuanhe coughed lightly, his expression natural, ignoring her basic attack.

cut.

Seeing that he was avoiding answering, Kim Jisoo rolled her eyes at him slightly, and then stopped talking to him. She sat there alone, starting to speculate in her mind.

What exactly is the current situation between him and Zhao Meiyan?
Is there anything better?
Or should we separate?

She had also watched the movie "Melancholia" starring Jo Mi-yeon. As someone with discerning eyes, she could tell at a glance that Kwon Heon-hyuk had arranged for her to join the cast, and she could even vaguely guess that it was through her relationship with director Kim Sang-seop.

Because her situation and Zhao Meiyan's situation were somewhat similar, although not by much, they were actually connected, both because of him.

In the somewhat noisy audience, Kim Jisoo and Kwon Heonhyuk sat together in silence, which made those who were paying attention to them start to speculate wildly.

The actors sat in the front row, while the idols and others sat in the back.

There weren't many actors present, mainly Yoo Ah-in, Jeon Yeo-bin, Han So-hee, and Lee Do-hyun, totaling about ten people.

Before the awards ceremony officially began, Kwon Heonhyuk greeted Lee Do-hyun again.

The poor ratings of "Melancholia" dealt a setback to Lee Do-hyun, whose career was on the rise, but thankfully it didn't flop too badly, and there were still positive reviews of his acting, so the impact was minimal.

People gradually entered, and the venue became increasingly lively, with acquaintances chatting with each other.

The lines between actors and idols became clearly defined, and actors themselves formed their own circles. Lee Jung-jae and Kwon Heon-hyuk chatted enthusiastically, while Yoo Ah-in sat there ignoring everyone else.

"Hello."

During a break in Kwon Heon-hyuk and Lee Jung-jae's conversation, Han So-hee, who was separated from Yoo Ah-in by a distance, leaned over slightly and greeted him with a charming smile.

"Hello."

The two didn't have much interaction; if you had to say, they had attended an awards ceremony together.

Kim Jisoo, who was standing nearby, noticed that her gaze kept glancing in their direction, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

"I've seen DP, it's an excellent piece of work."

Han Su-hee smiled and spoke to him.

"Thank you, I've seen your work too, it's very expressive."

In the middle of the year, "Irresistible Him," starring Han So-hee and Song Kang, aired on JTBC. It received a lukewarm reception domestically, but fared better overseas, generating some buzz and not being a complete flop. It was a Korean Wave drama that achieved some success, with its most popular region being Japan.

Japan always reacts particularly enthusiastically to Korean dramas that focus on good looks and appearance.

My ID is Gangnam Beauty

Goddess Advent

Irresistible Him

Etc., etc.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lee Jung-jae seemed to realize something, glancing at him and Han So-hee with a smile before turning to look at Kim Ji-soo.

Kim Jisoo noticed that Lee Jung-jae was looking at her, and quickly responded with a polite smile.

Lee Jung-jae just looked at him with a knowing smile.

"Your girlfriend is right here, are you really going to do this?"

Lee Jung-jae covered his mouth and whispered something in his ear, his expression a half-smile.

Kwon Heonhyuk was stunned for a moment, then realized that Lee Jungjae still seemed to have misunderstood Kim Jisoo as his girlfriend, thinking that he was quite bold for chatting with other girls without any scruples in front of Kim Jisoo.

This complicated relationship…

Quan Xuanhe was having a bit of a headache.

The relationships around me are getting more and more complicated. I'm afraid that one day I might accidentally say something wrong to someone.

Quan Xuanhe just smiled, unsure of what to say.

Sitting in the back rows, Liu Zhimin kept glancing at Quan Xuanhe, who was sitting in the first row, and also observing Kim Jisoo next to him.

It seems they were trying to observe something.

After a brief period of noise, the awards ceremony officially began!
"Dear viewers, the 2021 AAA Awards Ceremony is now officially in session!"

The celebrities who attended the event sat in rows below the stage, while Leeteuk and Jang Won-young, on stage, smiled and looked at the camera as they gave their opening remarks.

The camera kept cutting to the audience, and even when it only showed Kwon Heon-hyuk, it kept focusing on him and Kim Ji-soo.

Viewers watching the live stream couldn't help but flood the screen with comments.

Oh my god!

Kwon Hyun-hyuk is such a handsome guy!!!

【jisoojisoojisoo! ! ! 】

[The Godly Couple!!!]

They're so handsome! These two are definitely a couple!!!

A cold, aloof prince and a gentle princess...

Among all the shots featuring the actors, only she and Kwon Heon-hyuk received the strongest and most enthusiastic feedback in the comments section.

Twitter immediately went live on the trending topics in various regions, with the top trending list in more than a dozen countries being taken over.

The two are such a popular couple, they've been among the most popular couples all year round.

After the opening ceremony, the awards ceremony began. There were a total of twenty or thirty trophies to be presented, interspersed with group performances, making the event quite lengthy.

The awards presented at the beginning were all minor and harmless, like an assembly line process, followed by applause, speeches, and the end of the event.

The five awards nominated by Kwon Heonhyuk were announced one by one, and he went on stage to accept the trophies!
