Peninsula: I'm the Top Streamer

Chapter 548 Thank you everyone
Liu Zhimin stood at the corner of the red carpet, the sound of camera shutters exploding around her ears almost lifting the dome of the venue.

Her fingers, gripping the hem of her skirt, trembled slightly, and her eyeshadow shattered into shimmering waves under the intense flashing lights.

The sound of the man's footsteps as he walked across the red carpet seemed to patter against her heartbeat. His silver-gray suit shimmered with a nebula-like luster, and the Chaumet honeycomb brooch on his chest reflected tiny rainbows.

He turned to the media section, nodded in greeting, and gave a polite smile.

Amidst the screams, a Japanese reporter twenty meters away knocked over his tripod, and the sounds of camera shutters clicking were accompanied by gasps of surprise.

The host at the end of the red carpet exclaimed excitedly, "Let's welcome the president of the Korean Wave!"

When Quan Xuanhe heard the organizers call him that, he couldn't help but want to complain in his heart. This title was really hard to bear.

The thought of complaining flashed through his mind, and he slowly walked over to the host in the center of the red carpet to be interviewed.

"Let's have Xuanhe say hello to everyone!"

"Unnie, let's go."

Hearing the conversations coming from the red carpet in the distance, Ning Yizhuo called out to Liu Zhimin, who was staring blankly at the red carpet, bringing her back to her senses.

"Oh, let's go."

Liu Zhimin took one last look, then looked away, and walked away with the other members.

But the scene she had just witnessed left an indelible impression on her mind.

All the talk online is just virtual, but this scene offline revealed his amazing and genuine side.

"Oh, this is our Xuanhe-xi returning to the MAMA stage after two years. What are your feelings?"

The host on the red carpet smiled and asked him a question, and Kwon Seonhyuk nodded slightly, answering fluently.

"This time I..."

Some clichés.

The flashes never stopped. MAMA's main camera was pointed at him, and fans all over the world watching in front of the camera, especially those who were loyal enough to watch the red carpet appearance, went crazy when they saw Kwon Heonhyuk appear.

【ohmygooooood！！】

Who is this glowing man?

Who is he, and why is he so handsome?

Kwon Seonhyuk is so damn handsome!

Why are there such handsome men in the Western Eight Great Cold Nether Kingdom?

[Xiao Han, I think you're crazy! This kind of handsome guy shouldn't be taken out on a global tour to sleep with other women; that's what a national icon should be, you know?]

Comments flooded the screen, and fans and marketing accounts were quick to share and capture screenshots of the live stream, even faster than the various media outlets that were filming on-site.

"He looks incredibly handsome on the MAMA red carpet, Kwon Hyun-hyuk."

It immediately went viral on Twitter, and its views quickly surpassed one million, even growing rapidly towards tens of millions of views at an unprecedented pace.

In the entertainment industry, good looks are the primary driving force.

No matter how many works he has starred in, what is most eye-catching is still his face.

His photos started circulating online in real time, and fans even edited them to remove some minor flaws before sharing them online.

Even the wall couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of domestic fans for MAMA; Kwon Heon-hyuk's photos were immediately reposted by various marketing accounts.

@KoreaMe2day: "Kwon Hyun-hyuk's MAMA red carpet photos, handsome and dazzling. [Images] [Images] [Images] @KwonHyunhyukSuperTopic"

@StrawberryMilkFlavoredHaru: "Kwon Heonhyuk shines like the Milky Way!! [Image]"

@PrettyTigerDongDong: "[twi] Tonight he looked like a god descending to earth. He's simply handsome; his face is enough to bring world peace... [image]"

And so on and so forth. Various marketing accounts immediately reposted it, and the most popular post quickly gained over 100,000 likes, thousands of comments, and thousands of shares.

On Bilibili, a video clip of his red carpet appearance, which was edited out immediately, garnered over 100,000 views in just over half an hour, and then quickly approached one million views.

Kwon Heonhyuk, who generated the most traffic in a short period of time, had finished his interview, but it wasn't over yet. He walked to the other side and started filming slow-motion shots.

Since the Grammys became famous for their slow-motion shots, various award ceremonies and galas have started to imitate them, and this year's MAMA was no exception.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk stood in front of the camera, unsure of the slow-motion feel, so he simply didn't strike any poses, just stood there pretending to be cool.

With his hands in his pockets, chin slightly raised as the camera rapidly rotates, he exudes an air of superiority, seemingly oblivious to the world around him.

This time the filming was truly over, and Kwon Heonhyuk took a walk backstage.

After that, he relaxed. Apart from going on stage to present an award, he changed clothes again to prepare for the collaboration stage with Aepsa. The whole performance ended there.

Back in the busy backstage area, Kwon Seonhyuk walked through the corridor and returned to the waiting room to rest.

"The red carpet was outstanding; there was already feedback online as soon as I stepped onto the stage!"

Park Jung-jung had been keeping a close eye on online trends, and he was naturally quite pleased to see the enthusiastic response on social media after taking office.

"Then who am I?"

Quan Xuanhe said with a smile.

"Stop showing off."

Park Jung-jung slapped him, but seemed to be in a good mood.

With the red carpet event of MAMA concluded, the awards ceremony officially commenced.

The opening sequence was filmed in a very high-end style. After a few minutes of the opening sequence, the opening dance segment followed, which was a relay dance performed by Yoo Jimin, Hwang Yeji, and some other idols from the same period.

The entire clip is nine minutes long, including the transitions in between. Kwon Hyun-hyuk knew that Yoo Jimin would appear, so he was watching intently, waiting to see her on camera.

After a series of stunning special effects sequences, Liu Zhimin makes her dazzling entrance.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk perked up and carefully watched Yoo Jimin's solo dance.

em ...

He had memories of what happened afterward.

Liu Zhimin's less than one-minute dance was heavily criticized, as if she was uncoordinated and danced terribly.

Without any comparison, in Quan Xuanhe's eyes, her dancing was just so-so, neither particularly good nor bad.

Perhaps Liu Zhimin is simply born with a knack for bloodshed and a fiery personality. The team is torn apart internally, and externally, things are in complete disarray.

The horizontal scroll reads: I'm the most popular.

Watching Liu Zhimin dance in a white outfit on screen, until the very end of her performance, Quan Xuanhe nodded slightly, but he still couldn't see what was good or bad about it.

That's it.

On the other side, Yoo Jimin was also performing a dance on stage, but it wasn't a pre-recorded, seamless performance.

After finishing the dance, she hurried backstage. As she watched her performance end, she wondered if her fans would be happy, if there would be a warm response from the outside world, and if her dance would receive enthusiastic and positive reviews.

She never expected that such a barrage of negative comments would be coming her way.

The opening dance was a pre-recorded performance, and nine minutes later, host Lee Hyori will begin the show.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk then set off backstage, waiting for the awards to be presented.

The backstage area was still quite noisy, and Lee Do-hyun was also there, ready to go on stage as an award presenter.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk greeted him, and ITZY was there too. Shin Yuna moved closer to him and struck up a conversation.

"Oppa is so handsome."

"Thank you, Na."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk looked at Shin Yoo-na, who was also fully made up, and said with a smile.

Like a lotus bud just beginning to emerge, Shin Yuna is still growing at lightning speed. Next year, she will completely conquer countless men with her perfect figure and stunning S-curve. That's what you call innate allure.

Has anyone asked oppa for his contact information?

Shin Yuna looked at the strikingly handsome Kwon Hyun-hyuk, her words carrying an irresistible urge to be close to him.

Who wouldn't want to snuggle up with a warm, handsome guy?

"That's not true."

"Oppa is so handsome, he must be sought after by many people, right?"

Shin Yuna sounded somewhat skeptical when she said it.

"Perhaps they haven't had time yet?"

"So... are oppa and Jimin unnie on good terms?"

"Why do you say that?"

"They were so close during rehearsal today, it felt like they were dating, or they must be very close, right?"

Shin Yuna shared information from a different perspective.

During the rehearsal today, Kwon Heonhyuk and Yoo Jimin's close interaction throughout the entire rehearsal was undeniable. Before and after the rehearsal, and most importantly, during their intimate physical contact on stage, Yoo Jimin even had such a happy smile on her face.

It's one thing for the two of them to be talking and exchanging words, but didn't the other members cover for them? The two of them were the ones talking and exchanging words the most throughout the whole thing, so it was impossible to ignore.

Not everyone can't tell from Pabo, right?

This is bound to cause a scandal.

Shin Yoo-na didn't know what Kwon Hyun-hyuk's current relationship status was, but the two had a good relationship, so she came over to ask him.

"We have a good relationship. It's common knowledge that we're close, right?"

Kwon Heonhyuk recalled that he had previously revealed to the outside world that he had been a trainee at SM Entertainment, so it was not surprising that he had a good relationship with the aespa members.

"But...is it a little too good?"

"Kids shouldn't make wild guesses, okay? Keep your mouth shut and don't spread rumors."

"em..."

Shen Youna narrowed her eyes, her expression somewhat displeased, and she pouted, looking a little unhappy.

"How am I a child?"

She straightened her chest and then turned her body slightly to show him her beautiful curves, expressing her dissatisfaction with his attitude of treating her like a child.

"It is indeed small."

Seeing her deliberately showing off her figure in front of him, Kwon Hyun-hyuk didn't hold back anymore and started making some scathing comments.

Shin Yuna was taken aback, her pretty face immediately turning red. She was a little embarrassed and annoyed by what he said, and raised her small fist to wave at him, "Hey, oppa, you're not allowed to say that to me!"

She's great in every way, except that she's a bit small and doesn't quite match her overall figure.

After a few laughs and chatter, the awards ceremony proceeded slowly.

As time passed, Shin Yuna left the backstage area with ITZY, while Aespa went on stage to officially accept the award for Best Dance Performance Girl Group, successfully winning their first trophy.

Unfortunately, Izty was eliminated from the competition and failed to win the only prestigious award she was nominated for.

When Shin Yuna reappeared backstage, she looked quite disappointed and was clearly somewhat dejected.

They've only been in the industry for two years, and they can't even win these small awards. It's very discouraging and makes people lose confidence in their future.

"It's okay, there will be many more opportunities later."

When Quan Xuanhe saw her, he spoke up to comfort her.

"Ok."

Shen Youna had lost her cheerful and lively spirit, but she perked up a little in response to Quan Xuanhe's concern.

"I'm going to prepare for the stage now, goodbye oppa."

Shen You-na didn't chat with him for long; after saying that one sentence, she left in a hurry.

After she left, Kwon Heonhyuk also had to start preparing to go on stage to present the award.

As a special arrangement by the organizers, he presented the Best New Female Actor award.

This year's winner is undoubtedly aespa. The organizers specially arranged this award for him, also for the purpose of generating buzz.

The staff handed him a script, which Kwon Seonhyuk familiarized himself with for a while. Then, right on time, he announced the next award on stage and, under the staff's guidance, officially stepped onto the stage.

This was his second time standing on the MAMA stage. Although the venue wasn't particularly large, the fans in the audience made the whole atmosphere exceptionally lively.

"Hyun Hyuk oppa!!!"

Liu Yunna, who has always been quite influential in the industry, screamed at the top of her lungs when she saw him walk onto the stage, staring intently at him.

She was going crazy. The pandemic had devastated her, leaving her with very few opportunities to attend events in person, and she had even become extremely reluctant to follow her idols!

The hundreds of audience members cheered when they saw Kwon Seonhyuk come on stage.

A group of girls, who wouldn't love to look at such a handsome guy!

"oppa!"

The fair-skinned, beautiful, and tall rich young lady was also completely captivated by him.

Kwon Hyun-hyuk walked to the microphone, looked at the fans cheering for him below the stage, glanced at the spacious venue, and as the little green light on the camera lit up, he approached the microphone and spoke.

"Hello everyone, I am Kwon Heonhyuk."

His voice was broadcast to all parts of the world through the screen, resulting in a small peak in viewership and buzz.

"It is an honor to stand on the MAMA stage again after two years and to be able to present awards to singers active in the Korean Wave."

Kwon Hyun-hyuk's voice echoed clearly through the microphone throughout the venue, his magnetic voice causing people to subconsciously quiet down and listen to him speak.

Aespa, who was standing quietly to the side of the stage waiting for the award, waited for him, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Especially Liu Zhimin, whose gaze at her on the red carpet earlier was strikingly similar to hers at this moment, reappearing in her eyes.

Her gaze was focused, even appearing to others to be somewhat infatuated.

"2021, Mnet Asia music award, The winner of the Best Newcomer Girl Group is..."

"aespa!"

Kwon Heonhyuk, speaking fluent and fluent English, paused briefly before announcing the winner in a loud voice.

The aespa team perked up and went on stage to accept the trophy under the spotlight.

Liu Zhimin held the heavy trophy in her hand and couldn't help but glance at Quan Xuanhe, who was standing aside with a big smile on his face.

Their eyes met.

You're awesome.

Quan Xuanhe nodded slightly, looking at her with gentle eyes.

Liu Zhimin's heart trembled slightly, her soft lips parted slightly, and she seemed to become sluggish at this moment.

A feeling of joy welled up from within him. Quan Xuanhe was standing beside him again at his glorious moment. All the key elements had come together at this moment.

A smile naturally appeared on Liu Zhimin's lips, and joy naturally filled her heart.

"Thank you everyone."
