Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 547 In a daze

Fortunately, the gradual easing of restrictions has made fans extremely happy. Tickets for the relatively small MAMA venue were snapped up and even sold for exorbitant prices, but there were still fans from various groups willing to spend a lot of money to buy tickets for this offline event.

Of course, this does not include Liu Yunna, a top-tier fan site admin in South Korea who has been with Kwon Heonhyuk since his debut and has always been a top-tier fan site admin among his countless fans.

Without hesitation, I simply stayed by your side.

When Kwon Heonhyuk first debuted, Yoo Yoon-na was still a high school student; now she is a sophomore at Dongguk University.

The organizers allocated a few tickets to Kwon Heon-hyuk. They didn't give all the artists exclusive tickets; they treated everyone differently.

He doesn't have many ordinary friends, so the tickets were naturally given to his loyal fans who have been in contact with him through his team.

The tickets were given to several fan site admins, with Liu Yunna leading the way, who then went to the MAMA event.

"The restaurant is a bit small, and it's located so far north. Aren't they afraid of being attacked from the north?"

"Why not just hold it in Seoul? Who would come here to spend money?"

The group chatted and laughed, subtly complaining about the stinginess of the MAMA organizers.

"Hello."

Liu Yunna and her friends were still preparing a party outside the venue. There were quite a few fans who came to watch MAMA offline this time, and each one or two of them were very loyal fans, which is why they were able to get tickets for this year's MAMA.

Actually, a significant number of groups had pre-recorded their performances, and many of them had already organized offline viewings, since die-hard fans generally only focus on their own idols.

When they arrived outside the venue to see his fans, it was Kwon Heon-hyuk's new assistant who came over carrying two large bags.

"These are things that Xuanhe prepared for you. He was worried that you would have a hard time queuing. Please take precautions to stay safe."

It's quite normal for idols to engage in reverse support activities, especially organized offline events. Offering some perks to reverse supporters can also help strengthen fan loyalty.

The group's eyes lit up, and they quickly thanked them and accepted the gifts, then began to look through them.

"Wow, what's this?"

"Dior samples?"

"This...this...a Louis Vuitton gift set???"

"This is chocolate endorsed by Hyunhyuk!!"

"They even have snack sets! I wish I hadn't eaten lunch."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk doesn't participate in reverse fan support events very often, so he can be quite generous with his spending. These things, which are agreed upon with the brand, don't cost him too much money, and are the kind of treatment he should enjoy as a spokesperson.

"Oh my, Chaumet Paris. What is this?"

The girls couldn't figure out what Chaumet had given them, and looked around curiously. The assistant smiled slightly and said, "These are diffuser stones. When perfume comes into contact with them, the fragrance will spread."

This simple introduction made the group of people exclaim in surprise. Looking at the brand-name gifts that everyone received, each person's gift was worth at least 200,000 Korean won. They could resell them and make a small extra income. They came here not only without spending any money but also made a profit!

Liu Yunna's eyes lit up when she saw Chaumet's packaging, and she asked her assistant, "Oppa, did you sign with Chaumet?"

The collaboration between Kwon Heonhyuk and Chaumet has been progressing, but the spokesperson has not yet been officially announced. However, it has already caused quite a stir and is generating a lot of buzz.

"I can't say for now."

The assistant shook his head slightly.

There must be more than just a few people queuing up here. If there's a queue, there must be a lot of people. They're all girls who are fans of celebrities, and they've come here to see their favorite stars.

While they were patiently queuing outside to get in, the celebrity assistants were already personally handing out gifts to the fans waiting in line. If it were just some random snacks or postcards, it wouldn't matter; it would only make people envious for a second or two before it was over.

But the gift was a high-end luxury brand!

Who wouldn't be envious or jealous of this?

Is it possible to show support in this way, even with reverse support?

Feeling the envious glances from others, Liu Yunna and her friends stood together chattering and laughing, like favored concubines, their tails practically wagging in the air.

"Taking a photo and uploading it to the forum might just create a buzz."

Several fans are either fan site administrators or wealthy young ladies who shower Kwon Heon-hyuk with virtual coins, but what they have in common is their empathy and consideration for Kwon Heon-hyuk.

The group took photos of the luxury gift boxes from various angles, then uploaded them to Instagram. Liu Yunna even posted about it on theqoo.

[Touching, Hyunhyuk oppa's reverse support. LV, Dior, Chaumet]

We're not at the stage where luxury brands are everywhere yet, and this kind of reverse support for luxury brands is unprecedented. The topic itself is eye-catching enough, and even without marketing hype, plenty of people will click to read it.

After posting the message, Liu Yunna put her phone away, looking at the items with a rather joyful expression.

Of course, they don't lack money, but it's something they got for free, and it was a gift from their favorite idol. They'd rather compare it to something else and throw it away. The main thing is the sense of superiority that comes from having something that no one else has.

What did your idol give you as a gift? Look at the idols we follow, the difference is obvious!
Kwon Hyun-hyuk has always been generous with his gifts. When the crew wrapped up filming, he gave everyone a luxury suit, which amazed many people. Now, he's simply doing the same to his fans.

His money came too quickly and in too much way, so giving back some wouldn't be a problem.

This certainly made others quite envious.

The fans slowly lined up to enter. MAMA was very strict this time, so they couldn't bring any equipment in. They were even strictly prohibited from taking out their phones to take pictures. They could only watch and cheer with their eyes.

The fact that they couldn't film did make them a little unhappy, but considering that it was such a rare opportunity to see Kwon Heonhyuk in person, they endured the difficulty.

Aside from Liu Yunna and a few others who are currently queuing, people online are also waiting for this year's MAMA to begin.

Last year, MAMA caused a lot of controversy, but every year MAMA will still be the most watched K-pop awards ceremony.

The event garnered significant attention online, with discussions primarily revolving around speculation about the awards and anticipation for the attending lineup.

Kwon Heonhyuk, as a key guest, was given a lot of attention, especially given the collaboration stage with the Squid Game.

It can only be said that expectations from all sides have been raised to the maximum.

"Red carpet ready!"

As the scheduled timeline drew closer, the backstage area began to bustle with activity, and the noisy atmosphere reached its peak.

After several hours of preparation, the makeup and styling were finally completed.

Dressed in silver-gray, as if adorned with starlight from the Milky Way, he shone brightly, making him dazzlingly radiant. He stood tall and composed, exuding a subtle yet undeniable confidence.

Her hair was also styled exquisitely, with the stylist personally combing her bangs back strand by strand, revealing her broad forehead, making her look confident and poised.

The design is impeccable.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk was an automatic attention-grabber just by standing there, drawing everyone's gaze. His talent as a focal point continued to grow.

"The red carpet appearances are alternating between idols and actors; your position is..."

"After aespa".

"I'm behind them? Are you sure this wasn't arranged intentionally by the organizers?"

Quan Xuanhe couldn't help but ask.

"That is indeed the arrangement."

Park Jung-jung nodded and said.

I guessed it.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk said something, then checked his outfit in the mirror one last time and found nothing wrong. He then followed the staff out of the waiting room and headed towards the backstage area for the red carpet.

With his full-on power, Kwon Hyun-hyuk attracted everyone's attention; the light in the corridor seemed to be absorbed by him, automatically drawing people's gaze. "Wow, is this what they call a 'presidential trip'??"

A staff member walking by couldn't help but mutter something as he watched Kwon Seonhyuk pass by.

The Korean entertainment industry is so extravagant that they gave Kwon Seon-hyuk, who caused a global sensation at Paris Fashion Week, the sensational title of "Presidential Tour." After that, whenever he appeared, such remarks would always come up.

Just like now, Kwon Seonhyuk firmly wears the title of 'President' on his head. In his own eyes, it's childish and pretentious, but in the eyes of passersby and fans, no one can compare to him. He is uniquely arrogant, cool, and awesome, crushing other celebrities who compete with him.

"Wow, how can he be so handsome? I want to keep my eyes glued to him."

A peculiar metaphor.

Kwon Heonhyuk walked along, attracting attention wherever he went, and finally arrived at the backstage area of ​​the red carpet where idols were waiting.

This year's MAMA red carpet was held inside the venue, but it did not feel cramped or crowded. Instead, it was spacious and bright, and the red carpet route was quite long. The media were arranged in a tiered manner opposite the backdrop, holding long lenses and microphones. There were nearly a hundred media reporters alone.

The exposure of MAMA is something that other K-pop award ceremonies can hardly catch up with in the short term.

After arriving at the waiting area, Kwon Hyun-hyuk chatted with some actors he knew.

Even among actors, his eye-catching style is number one. After all, he has gradually taken the lead in this area, and his high-end endorsements do not allow him to be low-key.

The Chaumet brooch on her chest and the Longines watch on her wrist gleamed brilliantly.

"So handsome."

Lee Do-hyun glanced at Kwon Hyun-hyuk and praised him with a smile.

"How can anyone else be so handsome?"

"You're only good at being cool for a short while. Don't even mention me, you guys are no less impressive."

Quan Xuanhe waved his hand and said with a smile.

The three of them were chatting on one side, while a group of female idols were glancing over there, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, their eyes focused on Kwon Hyun-hyuk, who stood out the most in the crowd.

Liu Zhimin glanced at Quan Xuanhe, who seemed to be shining in the crowd, and her gaze was immediately locked on him. She couldn't take her eyes off him and stared at him in a daze.

Of course she likes Kwon Heon-hyuk, including his looks.

She loved it to death.

Liu Zhimin didn't consider herself a person who judged by appearances, but when she saw Quan Xuanhe, she realized she was wrong.

Kim Dong-won looked at Kwon Hyun-hyuk, pursed his lips, and kept looking at Kwon Hyun-hyuk.

This oppa is getting more and more handsome.

To be honest, if Liu Zhimin hadn't acted first and made it public, preventing anyone from having any other thoughts, this would have been suffocating.

"The red carpet is about to begin, and the first one is ready to set off!"

As time passed, the MAMA Awards ceremony officially began!
The number of online viewers watching live is constantly increasing, with everyone eagerly anticipating this K-pop extravaganza.

【SVT!!!】

【aespaaespaaespa…】

【Lost, lost, lost!!】

【Here we go! 】

The screen started flooded with comments, and even before the black screen began, various kinds of bullet comments were already floating on it.

The red carpet event officially began. As the first group of idols appeared, the backstage area became less noisy, with people chatting quietly while waiting to walk the red carpet.

"nervous?"

Aespa was standing in front of him when Kwon Seonhyuk spoke up and asked.

"A little."

Not being Korean or a true K-pop idol, Kwon Seonhyuk didn't know the significance of MAMA to them. Seeing their slightly nervous expressions, he understood the nervousness they felt as newcomers.

As time ticked by, the Aespa members were finally about to take the stage, their first time standing on the MAMA stage as newcomers.

"come on."

Before they walked the red carpet, Kwon Heonhyuk cheered them on.

Liu Zhimin glanced back at Quan Xuanhe, couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and then nodded to indicate that she understood.

He is quite dazzling, and he seems even more handsome than before.

She couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

"fighting!"

Liu Zhimin waved her fist to cheer herself up, then turned around and gave Quan Xuanhe a big smile.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk returned their encouraging gaze as they walked out of the waiting area and onto the red carpet.

aespa has officially launched.

As she stepped onto the stairs, Liu Zhimin slightly raised her head, revealing a pretty and gentle smile on her face. She straightened her back slightly and walked onto the red carpet.

She slightly puffed out her chest, facing the camera with confidence and poise, her smile becoming even gentler.

She was beautiful and had a great figure. The black dress accentuated her graceful curves, and her long, smooth, black hair made her look even more elegant and charming.

The dull thud of high heels on the red carpet accompanied their footsteps until they reached the backdrop. Facing the media with their long lenses and increasingly bright and glaring flashes, they maintained a proper smile for the cameras.

I felt a little nervous, but as I walked down the red carpet, I still presented myself with the most confident and beautiful demeanor.

"Wave goodbye!"

"Make a heart shape with your hands!"

Reporters on the other side of the red carpet shouted and pointed their cameras at them.

Finally, following the host's instructions, Aepsa walked over to the host for an interview.

As the team leader, Liu Zhimin held the microphone and gave an interview, maintaining a smile on her face and speaking in a smooth and natural tone.

That's exactly what happened. After the interview, Aespa and his team left the red carpet and began their exit.

But as they slowly walked away, the host immediately began introducing Kwon Heon-hyuk in an enthusiastic tone.

"Next up is actor Kwon Hyun-hyuk."

"This year, he became the most watched Hallyu star with a glamorous appearance. At the beginning of the year, he showed his handsome charm as a goddess and at the end of the year, he showed his heroic spirit as a police officer in Squid Game. His ever-changing and unique charm has captivated audiences all over the world!"

Listening to the host's introduction from afar, Liu Zhimin couldn't help but turn around and glance back.

Suddenly, the noise became exceptionally intense, far exceeding the sound of camera shutters and shouts from media reporters when they first appeared, causing them to turn around and look.

They seem to be on a completely different level...

Is it really possible for a person's popularity to be this terrifying?

Watching Quan Xuanhe stride confidently to the center of the red carpet, receiving the shower of flashing lights, Liu Zhimin stared blankly, unable to help but purse her lips, her gaze lingering on him, momentarily lost in thought.
