The number one playboy on the Peninsula!

Chapter 140 Winning the Record Award, 8
After the Golden Disc Best New Artist Award, BLACKPINK and Bombardment Meteor took turns to perform their songs on stage.

Bombardment Meteor performed "Blood, Sweat and Tears", the pre-release song of "Fireworks are eternal", and then the award was presented at the Music Awards.

Twice was the first to receive a bonsang award with their performance of "Cheer Up," followed by Taeyeon with "Rain," GFRIEND with "Rough," and more. Bombardment Meteor also took home a bonsang award for music and performed their winning song, "Fake Love."

This year's Golden Disc Awards saw nine winners in the music category, with the final Music Grand Prize winner chosen from among them.

At 7 pm, with the announcement by award presenter Uhm Jung-hwa, the grand prize in the music category of the 31st Golden Disc Awards was won by Twice's "Cheer Up".

……

The next day, July 1st.

At 14:30 p.m., the red carpet for the record department began.

Walking in front of the four members of Bombardment Meteor were several members of EXO. Zhang Yixing was quite busy. He first walked with EXO and took a group photo of the nine of them in front of the camera.

Then he quickly ran back to Bombardment Meteor...

The artists in front of EXO were a few members of Red Velvet, who walked slower, and since there were more EXO members, it took quite a while for them to take photos.

The four members of Bombardment Meteor quickly walked over to them. Gong Cheng stood between Park Chanyeol and Oh Sehun, and couldn't wait to complain, "You're so slow!"

A red carpet walk lasts so long!
"Ahhhhhhhh!!! The three great cannons of Seoul have gathered together!"

"Tarot is so cool!"

"..."

Many fans standing on the periphery screamed for the cannon line on the red carpet.

Gong Cheng's face quivered, a bit embarrassed. Even the usually thick-skinned Park Chanyeol and Oh Sehun, who was proud of his nickname "Seoul Three Guns," pursed their lips, a bit embarrassed.

"Artillery Group~"

The other members of Bombardment Meteor and many EXO members in front of them all tried to hold back their laughter when they heard the cheers, and their facial expressions were almost out of control in front of the camera.

Gong Cheng had no choice but to slowly move out of the camera and come to Red Velvet's side. After finally making it into the venue, a voice suddenly shouted from the crowd: "Tarot, Irene, look at the camera."

Gong Cheng and Bae Joo Hyun were walking side by side, and both turned back to look at the photographer who was calling out.

"Click~"

When the two figures disappeared, the photographer who had called out looked at the photo he had just taken and exclaimed, "Great!"

Just based on this one photo, he could finish work early today. If no other photographer took this photo, the finished product with this angle and lighting would definitely sell for a good price.

In the photo, Gong Cheng hadn't had time to manage his expression; his cheeks were frivolous and stern, his brows sharp. Meanwhile, Bae Joo-hyun's face, also known as a goddess, was cold and aloof...

"Were you photographed?" Park Chanyeol asked with a pout.

"Yes." Bae Joo-hyun answered honestly.

"Why are you so talkative, brother?" Gong Cheng glanced at him speechlessly. Laugh? When Bombardment Meteor wins the grand prize, will you still be able to laugh?
"Tsk tsk, I guess after tonight's awards ceremony, the rumors about you two being gorgeous are going to explode again." Zhang Yixing chuckled and interjected, "And the cannonball team, haha~"

"..."

Gong Cheng turned and walked backstage to the awards ceremony. By this time, quite a few seniors had already arrived, and the record department's main award had even more guests than the music department's yesterday.

got7、I.O.I、b1a4、Red Velvet、BEAST、VIXX、SHINee、SEVENTEEN……零零散散一共30位入围唱片本赏的组合或是艺人，但到最后能拿下本赏的只有9位，而大赏只有1位。

It is worth mentioning that Park Jae-bum’s former group 2pm was also nominated for this album award.

Park Jae-bum said hello to the Bombardment Meteor members and then went over to chat with his former teammates.

Park Jin-young also attended the Golden Disc Awards ceremony, but this time the organizers did not invite him to perform on stage.

He stood backstage, looking at GOT7, 2PM, Twice and Gong Cheng who were walking towards him, his eyes full of smiles.

For today's record department award, the company has no hope for GOT7. If they can win a main award, it will be considered as achieving the goal. The main force still depends on Gong Cheng's Bombardment Meteor. Last night, TWICE won the music department award. If Bombardment Meteor can win the record award tonight.

Furthermore, at the recent Melon Awards, Bombardment Meteor won Album of the Year and Twice took home Song of the Year. At the Mama Awards, although Bombardment Meteor didn't attend, Twice also won Song of the Year and Best Female Group. It can be said that JYP has practically dominated the 2016 awards.

"What are you thinking about, Brother Zhenying?" Gong Cheng walked over and greeted the seniors from 2pm, GOT7, and Twice.

"It's okay." Park Jin-young patted his shoulder with relief and smiled: "Get ready for the harvest."

In the past year, this child who was discovered by himself on the Han River Bridge, even though he had experienced boycotts and low moments, still stood at the year-end awards ceremony with an almost racing attitude.

In just a few months, he went from being boycotted on his debut to winning the Melon Awards, Most Popular Newcomer, Best Music Composer, New Male Actor Award, and last night's Best Newcomer Award, the Golden Disc Music Category Grand Prize, and the future...

"Isn't it time for me to get you a bigger composing room? I heard from Jin Dae-woo that the trophies are almost too full."

He smiled and joked that this was the child sent by God to save JYP.

"Let's talk about it after we get it, Brother Zhenying." Gong Cheng was too lazy to pay attention to him. He turned around and followed the members of Twice into the lounge.

Bambam, who was standing by, was furious... Pdnim, say something!
Look at him...

In Red Velvet's lounge, Kim Yerin asked curiously, "Ouni, who do you think will be the grand prize winner tonight? XO sunbaenim? Or Bombardment Meteor?"

Bae Joo-hyun glanced at her and said nothing. Their group, Red Velvet, was also nominated for the album award this time, and it was for the title song "Russian Roulette," which was composed by Gong Seung.

As for the grand prize, they have no hope of it.

"Bombardment Meteor?" Son Seungwan speculated, noticing that no one else was in the lounge. The Record Awards were similar to the recently held Melon Awards, focusing on album sales and other metrics.

And at the Melon Awards ceremony, didn’t EXO, their predecessors who competed with Bombardment Meteor, lose to “Fireworks are eternal” in the album of the year?

……

At 5 pm, the record department awards ceremony began.

"Be careful that the grand prize will be snatched away by us Twice." Minatozaki Sana sat next to Miya Makoto and joked in a low voice.

"..." Gong Cheng glanced at her and smiled: "Okay, then Nayeon, can you give a little more of your acceptance speech? I'll be at a loss for words when I go on stage to receive the award."

He remembered that during the last music show, wasn't Lin Nayeon still in the lounge, practicing her speech for winning first place?

Lin Nayeon took a sip of water and rolled her eyes at him. Really, this bastard, why is he always teasing me?

Last time I practiced my acceptance speech in advance, it would have been fine if I had snatched the award from Gong Cheng, but the problem is that I didn’t, which was so embarrassing!
After Sung Si Kyung and Kang So Ra, who were in charge of hosting the record department, opened the show, Chou Tzu-yu sat upright in a daze.

……

Before the album awards ceremony was held, the winners of the new artist awards in the record department today were IOI and SM's new boy group, NCT 127.

With the Newcomer Award coming to an end, after the two hosts introduced the achievements of "Fireworks are eternal" in multiple sub-charts of the B chart, Bombardment Meteor began to win the first award of the day, the Global K-pop Artist Award.

EXO and Red Velvet were equally impressive and won the CeCi Asia Icon Award.

However, according to Gong Cheng, the award that xo won looks like a consolation prize no matter how you look at it.

Kang So-ra: "Then the winner of the Best Producer Award in 2016 was Tarot!"

Gong Cheng stood up and greeted the camera. The other three members of Bombardment Meteor in the guest seats took the lead and stood up. Park Jae-bum made a funny gesture towards the camera, and was happy for the youngest member from the bottom of his heart.

The undisputed Producer of the Year award. Of the songs currently in the top ten of various music charts, starting with number one, more than half are written by this youngest member.

……

7 o'clock in the evening.

As the main awards of the record department were announced one by one, nine groups or artists including GOT7, EXO, Bombardment Meteor, SEVENTEEN, and SHINee won awards.

The final album award will be announced soon.

On stage, alongside award presenter Ji Chang Wook, the nine groups of artists who had won the Grand Prize took the stage one after another. The director's camera playfully switched back and forth between the faces of EXO and Bombardment Meteor. The audience and the artists knew full well that the finalists for this Grand Prize were only two: EXO and Bombardment Meteor.

Many A-listers are also looking forward to their group winning the fourth consecutive Gold Record Album Award and achieving four consecutive championships.

"EXO!!! EXO!!!"

"Bombardment Meteor!!!Bombardment Meteor!!!"

"Bombardment Meteor!!!"

"EXO!!! EXO!!!"

"..."

The shouts from the audience below the stage were getting louder and louder. There were only two voices rising and falling in the whole venue: the heart-wrenching Aili and the powerful Arcanas.

In the silver-gray ocean of cheering, light strips flashed like shooting stars, and the letters under the shooting stars outlined the font of Bombardment Meteor.

"Bombardment Meteor!!!"

On the stage and in the guest seats, many artists from the groups sighed that the popularity of these two groups was like a fight between gods.

At Twice's round table, Lim Nayeon looked at the stage nervously.

"Don't worry, Gong Cheng oppa and the others should be able to win the grand prize." Yu Jeongyeon had already guessed what her friend was thinking and comforted her softly.

"Go, go, go! Oppa!" Son Chaeyoung cheered silently in her heart.

Zhou Ziyu sat upright, pursed her lips, and had a very serious expression.

Sana Minatozaki and Minami Naoi chatted in low voices to hide their inner nervousness.

Mingjing Nan glanced at Gong Cheng on the stage, but didn't feel any unnecessary nervousness. Judging from the data alone, it was a foregone conclusion that Bombardment Meteor would win the grand prize. She didn't know what these people were so nervous about?
Listening to the roar of the fans in the audience, Ji Chang Wook couldn't help but feel awe at the popularity of these two groups. He knew about xo and could understand it, but Bombardment Meteor, the dark horse, truly lived up to the hype on the script: a group like a shooting star...

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost settled, he leaned down slightly and said to the microphone, "The winner of the album category grand prize at the 31st Golden Disc Awards is!"

"Bombardment Meteor!!!!!!!!"

"A group that streaked across the Korean music scene like a meteor. Within just a few months of their debut, they've become the most popular group in Asia! Record sales have reached millions! They've dominated all major music charts, bringing K-pop to Europe and the United States... and have broken the record for a male group on the B-list album chart..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

After hearing the winner of the grand prize, all the fans in the audience cheered loudly, while the Arikanas roared heartily.

In the guest seats, upon hearing the grand prize winner, the Twice members, who had been unable to sit still, instantly stood up and applauded. Nayeon and Chaeyoung jumped up and down, hugging each other as if they had won the award themselves. Minatozaki Sana's eyes sparkled with excitement as she clapped her hands back and forth.

GOT7 and 2PM couldn't help but stand up and applaud. Their family love in front of the camera was well demonstrated. Look how well Twice did?

As they stood up, all the artists in the guest seats stood up and applauded, with smiles on their faces, as if they were sincerely happy and congratulating Bombardment Meteor for winning the grand prize.

"Mi A Nei ah, brother." Gong Cheng grinned and apologized to Park Chanyeol and others beside him.

Originally, he wanted to congratulate Kai on his birthday. Where is the birthday card?
But then I thought, isn’t that a bit too much?

Since they were on the stage and communication was not convenient, Park Chanyeol curled his lips. Why does this guy smile so provocatively?
However, in the middle of the year, the members thought that this year's album award was a sure thing, but after Bombardment Meteor came out, they kept breaking records and sales figures.

They all fell silent, so they were still accepting the result of tonight. After all, they had already felt uncomfortable once during the Melon Awards.

Park Chanyeol now has only one thought, which is to work harder next year!

Park Jae-bum waved his fist on the stage, then jumped onto Lim Young-woong's back and cheered.

The four hugged each other and celebrated for a moment, then walked to the microphone with the trophy.

Park Jae-bum smiled excitedly. Putting aside his recent Melon Grand Prize win, his only other win since leaving 2PM was at the 26th Golden Disc Awards in 2012, for "Take a Deeper Look." A Grand Prize, that was his first.

"Thank you so much……"

Then, Park Jae-fan and the other two took turns to give their acceptance speeches, and finally it was Gong Cheng's turn.

Gong Cheng held the Grand Prize trophy, looked at the cheering fans below the stage, and chuckled, "Mi, I actually prepared a lot of acceptance speeches before going on stage, but after actually receiving the trophy, I didn't know what to say."

“Eight!!!!”

"8! 8! 8!"

“Eight!!!”

The fans in the audience, remembering their oppa making the "1" sign at the music department awards ceremony last night, started shouting out loud. However, the number they shouted out wasn't "2." After the ceremony, a fan count revealed that their oppa might have miscalculated.

Including Melon's Grand Prize and Most Popular Newcomer, Best Music Composer, and last night's Best Newcomer Award, and the Golden Disc Music Department's Main Award, there are already 5 awards. Today in the record department, he won the Global K-pop Artist Award and the Best Producer Award, a total of 7 awards.

Including the album award that I hold in my hand at this moment, this is the eighth one!

If he hadn't missed the MAMA awards ceremony, the boy who shone so brightly on the stage might have won double-digit trophies, including the Grand Prize, in less than a year since his debut.

"Yes!" Gong Cheng understood what the fans meant and laughed happily and enthusiastically. He raised the trophy in his hand and said, "Eighth!"

The Arcanas in the audience immediately waved the cheers in their hands and shouted in unison the words that the boy on the stage had said.

“We need more!”

“We need more!”

“We need more!”

Before they knew it, this phrase had become the rallying cry of the Arcanas. Like well-trained soldiers, they all roared the bugle call in unison after the general on the stage issued an order. The entire venue was drowned in the cry of "We need more!"

"..."

"He's crazy, so scary." Seungwan smacked her lips in her Red Velvet seat, marveling at the producer's popularity. Previously, she only knew him for his consistently high popularity on Peninsula TV since his debut in 16.

But I didn't expect it to be so popular. The cheers from the audience were like an army.

Bae Joo-hyun looked at Gong Sung on stage with a complex expression, the lights seemingly focused on him alone. Less than a year after debuting, they've already won two grand prizes, and a slew of other awards. If we consider the time since Bombardment Meteor debuted, they'd be the fastest group in K-pop history to win a grand prize, right?

When the noise from the fans in the audience died down, Gong Cheng responded to them with a smile in his eyes: "Yes."

Afterwards, he and the members of Bombardment Meteor smiled at each other, gathered together, and shouted to the fans in the audience: "We, Need, More!"

We need more.

……

After the Golden Disc Awards ceremony ended, Bombardment Meteor returned to the lounge with trophies of all sizes. The five trophies they had won in the past two days were scattered on the sofa.

Gong Cheng lazily sat on the sofa, picking up the trophies from the record awards and the Best Producer award he'd won tonight, one in each hand. Meanwhile, Park Jae-Bum, Lim Young-Woong, and Zhang Yixing each held one of the remaining three trophies.

Holding a camera, Kim Dae-woo captured the scene of four people playing on the sofa into a photo.

After a while, Park Jin Young led all the members of Twice, 2PM and GOT7 to the practice room where Bombardment Meteor was located. Several groups under JYP took a half-family photo under the photo taken by Kim Dae Woo.

Park Jin-young agrees with what Lee Soo-man said: Beautiful children should stand in the middle, in the most conspicuous position.

So, in the photo, Gong Sung stood helplessly on Park Jin Young's left side holding the trophy, while Lim Nayeon stuck close to him, grinning with her rabbit teeth, happily holding the Music Awards trophy in her hand.

'Leonardo of the Peninsula' stood in the center with a high-spirited look...

As the photos were updated on JYP's official accounts on major social forums, the audience who were always paying attention to the Golden Disc Awards were instantly excited.

The terms JYP and Twice also rushed to the hot list following Gong Cheng's name.
