I desperately want to win on the peninsula

Since last night was a surprise recording, today is the actual performance segment, but the recording of SMTM has not stopped.

Furthermore, the artist department held an emergency meeting last night to discuss today's team selection process. They have basically reached a conclusion, and both sides are very satisfied.

The TV station invited a group of fans to watch today's performance, about two hundred people, as well as some fans who were not invited but came to support the contestants.

At this time, the area outside the TV station was very lively, with many security personnel maintaining order at the entrance.

Of course, this scene seems quite ordinary, after all, the fan culture on the peninsula has always been like this, and the staff are quite experienced in handling it.

As one of the most popular contestants in SMTM, Lin Qianqiao naturally has a group of fans who come to support her.

A girl who looked like a junior high school student squeezed into the support line. She didn't know whether Lin Qianqiao had entered the TV station through the back door or not.

But since we're already here, we can only hope he won't do that.

The middle school girl stared intently in the direction he had come from. The next second, she saw a tall, slender figure walking slowly towards the television station. His face gradually came into focus, and a faint smile graced his handsome features.

Lin Qianqiao wore a white striped Astro Boy co-branded short-sleeved shirt with a blue and white plaid shirt jacket, a black swan pendant around her neck, and three bracelets of different thicknesses on her wrists. She wore wide cargo pants and a pair of retro-style Onitsuka Tiger sneakers.

His outfit, with its intricate yet unified color scheme, exudes a strong Japanese vibe. Combined with his excellent physique and good looks, it creates a visually striking effect.

The middle school girl's eyes lit up; she thought to herself, "This guy is surprisingly good-looking."

As Lin Qianqiao walked towards the TV station, she was surprised to see a small group of people with her own support logo.

He never expected that fans would follow him to the offline store, and the company didn't seem to have any fan announcements about this. He didn't know how they found out, but he still walked towards them.

"Kyo, over here!" Before he even got close to the support group, some fans had already started calling out to him excitedly.

"Ah-niang-ha-sai-yo." Lin Qianqiao greeted the group of fans who had followed him with a friendly smile.

"Aaaaaah!"

"Kyo, we are all your fans!"

"Wow! I didn't expect the real person to be so good-looking. It was totally worth the trip!"

Praises followed like a shadow, and the fans grabbed each other's clothes excitedly. Looking at the food so close at hand, Lin Qianqiao smiled indulgently:

"Kamsammida".

After interacting for a while, some fans seemed to realize something and took out their cards and pens, handing them to Lin Qianqiao.

"Kyo, can I get an autograph?"

"Of course...no problem." Lin Qianqiao looked at her own photocard in front of her and recalled that the company did not seem to have any restrictions in this regard.

After a pause, he took the card that a fan handed him and signed it.

The other fans seemed to have come prepared, and they followed suit by taking out posters or photocards related to him. What could Lin Qianqiao say? Of course, he accepted them one by one and signed them.

Then he walked up to the last fan...

"What's wrong?" Lin Qianqiao asked gently, her smile unchanged, looking at the somewhat reserved middle school student-like girl in front of her.

"I don't have those photocards and posters... so I don't need an autograph, right?" The middle school student nervously pursed his lips, his eyes fixed on Lin Qianqiao, his gaze still a little shy.

"Kunkana, anything else is fine too." He naturally wouldn't look down on the fans who followed him, and besides, this girl looked quite young, so there was no reason to let her leave disappointed.

"real?"

"Mmm." Finally, Lin Qianqiao signed his name on her phone case, and couldn't help but smile as he looked at her delighted expression.

"I'm going in now, see you next time." Lin Qianqiao waved to them, then glanced at the middle school girl, who was giving her a big "fighting" gesture with delighted eyes.

"Fighting, Kyo!"

"Kill those fakes."

Hearing the fans start saying aggressive things, Lin Qianqiao shook his head helplessly. The reason he came to the TV station alone was that he had a personal schedule in the morning, so he arrived later than the others.

For example, Zhou Xian, who had nothing to do, had been waiting at the TV station for a long time, and Lin Qianqiao was now going to the studio to meet him.

As the junior high school girl watched Lin Qianqiao's receding figure, a hint of longing flashed in her eyes. Suddenly, she felt a desire to become an idol rapper like him, rather than an actor.

After a moment's thought, she shook her head, dismissing the idea...

"Guangbei~ Everyone said that if you and I came to support him, something good would happen, hehe... You got Kyo oppa's autograph too." The slightly chubby girl looked at her friend Jiang Huiyuan and proudly showed off.

"Hmph, it's hard to say...maybe he signed it because he thought I was cute," Jiang Huiyuan replied with a smile.

"Stop being so narcissistic, Oppa doesn't find you cute." The slightly chubby girl scoffed.

"Really, that's what he just told me." Jiang Huiyuan's eyes were very serious, and even her small face was tense, as if to say that this was the reality.

"I... I don't believe it." The slightly chubby girl looked at Jiang Huiyuan's face and the more she looked, the more she felt that it might be true. Suddenly, she choked up and couldn't breathe.

"..." Jiang Huiyuan was surprised that her friend actually believed it, and her eyes widened.

Then, he hurriedly went to comfort her.

Just now, the fans were cheering Lin Qianqiao on wildly, but today's program recording is a little different. The contestants don't even need to perform on stage.

Instead, the roles are reversed: the mentors become the performers, giving today's stage performance, while the contestants naturally become the judges.

During the recording of the previous episodes, the mentors acted all high and mighty, pointing fingers and saying things like "this is no good" and "that is no good," and making a lot of harsh remarks.

Adding to last night's raid, the emotions they're in right now are no joke.

In this season, the mentors have to put a good show on stage. If the performance isn't satisfactory and doesn't meet their expectations, the contestants, who are already holding back their anger, won't hold back their words.

Then we'll show those mentors what true cruelty is.

The show has finally started filming, and the mentors should be getting ready to perform.

The audience began to enter the venue one after another, and the contestants stood on high places, looking down at everything on the stage from a god's-eye view.

As the mentors' performance was about to begin, Zhou Xian excitedly cheered, showing great respect for his mentors.

Lin Qianqiao rested her chin on her hand, watching the mentors' performance with great interest; it was clear they had put in a lot of effort.

They probably all know in their hearts that if they mess up now, not only will they be criticized by the contestants, but they will also be accused of being perfunctory by the audience and subjected to a barrage of attacks from the haters.

Especially Jay Park, who brought in a bunch of rappers from his own label to help him perform, which just goes to show how much he understands stage effects.

Although "MOMMAE" is a new song that President Park just released in May, the stage performance is so classic that it's dazzling and makes you wonder where to look.

If the show didn't prohibit taking off clothes, President Park would already be shirtless, sticking out his tongue, and wiggling his hips.

It's a pity that this is a stage that costs money to see; I didn't expect the production team to be so ungrateful.

San e group was alright. Their ballad rap style was decent, with some highlights, but it was a bit pretentious and greasy. Overall, it was just so-so...

Zico's group must have put in a lot of effort; the stage was indeed well-made, and the hip-hop style was spot-on. Plus, he was a mentor responsible for attracting audiences, so the surrounding contestants were all cheering him on, which meant they really enjoyed the performance style.

Fans seem to have forgotten his recent news coverage. After all, drunk driving is something that can easily provoke outrage on the peninsula. True fans remain loyal and devoted, which is truly a great act of love.

YG's group was a complete disaster. Although they brought in Boddy and Kim Hanbin to help out, the mentors' stage performance was weak and listless...

However, Lin Qianqiao heard from Song Minhao last night that these guys had a stage show in M ​​country yesterday, and probably rushed back to the peninsula overnight after the performance, which is not impossible...

Moreover, Tablo's stage effects are poetic and picturesque, deeply moving and evocative. The title "bard" isn't given lightly; those who understand will naturally understand, and those who don't will simply...

"Shh..."

Then, Lin Qianqiao silently joined the other contestants in booing. You're tired of making money, do you expect me, your struggling idol, to sympathize with you...? You're really overthinking it.

I told you, don't let anyone catch this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Right now, nobody cares if it's a spicy hot pot... Get out of here!

After the performance ended, the production team unexpectedly designed a voting segment for the stage performance, allowing contestants to choose the stage they thought was the best.

Upon hearing about this wonderful opportunity, a group of contestants grinned and showed off their votes in front of the camera for a while before leisurely casting their crucial vote into the ballot box.

Although she had just silently cheered, Lin Qianqiao still sensibly cast her precious vote for the YG team.

Jin Zhenbiao, microphone in hand and glancing at the script in his left, stood on the stage and began to announce: "The mentor team that received 18 votes out of 24 is—"

With such a large lead that would be so entertaining to watch, the experienced Kim Jin-pyo, of course, knew better than to deliberately pause for a moment while reading his script...

Not only did it trigger a "Show Time" moment for the mentors, but their faces began to show tension, anticipation, excitement, and some even turned away, unable to continue listening...

All I can say is that everyone here is very knowledgeable about camera work. Kim Jin-pyo didn't keep everyone waiting long and slowly announced, "Team Zico, chu ka mi da."

Woo—and then, it was time for another mini-show…

Even the contestants in the audience started cheering... They were overjoyed to hear that the old-timers might be executed.

Then, Jin Zhenbiao read out the remaining voting results one by one, without keeping everyone waiting for long.

"Jay Park's team is second with 3 votes."

"Team San e is third with 2 votes."

"YG team is fourth with 1st vote."

When Lin Qianqiao heard that YG team had only one vote, he never expected that his vote would be so crucial. These seniors almost got zero points, which was too outrageous.

Do these people really not understand respecting the elderly and caring for the young?

Can't you learn to be a little more compassionate like me... Why didn't you vote for YG instead of Zhou Xian? You don't even understand social etiquette. How are you going to survive in the industry in the future?

"The top-ranked mentor team will have priority in selecting participants; they can now choose any four contestants..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the contestants below the stage were in an uproar, completely unexpected that it would have this effect.

Lin Qianqiao and Zhou Xian looked at each other and discussed in hushed tones.

"Could it be that person's accident?"

"No need to think, it must be."

The two were referring to a news story that went viral on Al Jazeera on July 9: BLOCKB member Zico was involved in a traffic accident while riding in a vehicle driven by a drunk driver.

Various media outlets have confirmed the incident with the police.

On the 8th, after attending member Park Kyung's birthday party, ZICO's vehicle violated traffic signals and was involved in a car accident.

The investigation revealed that both the agent driving the vehicle and ZICO had been drinking. Fortunately, no serious traffic accident occurred, and the individuals involved were unharmed.

ZICO later stated that he trusted his agent so much that he allowed him to drive, and that he was deeply reflecting on his actions.

Both the Peninsula Forum and Zico's social media accounts exploded instantly, with Zico being bombarded with all sorts of explosive comments on his official personal account.

This person is a repeat offender. He had previously made very honest comments about Tyron's natural and man-made disasters, which has damaged his reputation.

This latest incident has given those who already disliked him even more reason to mock him, while Nichkhun's fans have also found an opportunity to kick him while he's down.

The drunk driving incident was immediately thrust into the spotlight. Passersby and onlookers believed that drunk driving was a crime, but Zico, who was in the car and condoned drunk driving, was also guilty and should be punished like his manager. The hip-hop community was unsure of what to think, but fans of SMTM demanded that he leave the show, and Nichkhun's fans told him to get out of the entertainment industry.

The onlookers were thoroughly entertained, leaving their comments everywhere, seemingly enjoying the spectacle as if they were watching a drama unfold.

Faced with the impassioned crowd, Zico's fans were powerless to stop them. Often, any words spoken on his behalf would be instantly swallowed up, ultimately leading to the closure of all official account comments.

An attempt to quell the anger of all parties by feigning deafness and silence...

It's unclear how Zico's fans reacted to this situation, or what casual observers thought. After all, everyone has different perspectives, and things might just be forgotten.

So the production team is now trying to fool the top-performing contestant by using their performance as a cover, but the contestants offstage are sneering and showing utter contempt for the top instructor on stage.

ZICO has been embroiled in controversy, dragging down the entire mentor team. If any rappers still choose this team now, it's truly a matter of personal relationships; they can't even hide their desire to be a dog.

Another reason is that this team was vaguely a spot given by the production team to create an idol group, but Lin Qianqiao and Zhou Xian have now rejected it.

Since it was just a guess, this sudden change still caused the group to curse in secret... If they had said it earlier, they definitely wouldn't have voted so casually. After all, choosing a group is such a crucial matter, so they should have thought it through more carefully.
