No one noticed the change in Tang Jinyan's expression. Even if they did, they wouldn't have guessed the truth. Even Zheng Shunchen didn't know much about the relationship between Tang Jinyan and Jung Eun-thi.
In most people's eyes, it was already kind of Tang Jinyan not to play with his idol. It was hard to say how sincere his relationship with Park Soyeon was. Even if it was true, it was probably the result of their friendship …
Therefore, Zheng Shunchen explained to him with a smile, "Mnet's original plan at the beginning of the year was to hold Mama in Hong Kong to create an Asian music festival.
After Chang Myung and I participated, we made some changes to the plan. We referenced a certain year's Spring Festival Gala in China and made it a joint event between Hong Kong and Korea.
It will be a little more troublesome to broadcast, but the staff and schedule will be more organized … "
Tang Jinyan knew that he couldn't easily express his thoughts on this occasion, and he couldn't confuse people by rejecting the award.
He could only sigh to himself and gather his thoughts. He listened to Zheng Shunchen's explanation while carefully browsing through the program schedule.
As expected, Girls' Generation, who didn't release any songs this year, wasn't nominated. However, TTS, who were nominated, became T-ara's direct competitors.
T-ara was nominated for Best Female Group and Best Dance Group in Korea with "Love Dovey". Their main competitors were Kara, Sistar, TTS, and F (x).
With Mama's unfriendly attitude towards S * M, giving Superjunior the World's Best Male Group award was already the limit. Therefore, TTS and F (x) were eliminated.
Kara could win the World's Best Female Group award, but they didn't compete.
Therefore, Sistar and T-ara split the Korean Best Female Group and Best Dance Group awards.
S * M was obviously aware of the distribution of the cake and was satisfied with SJ's loot. Since TTS didn't get any prizes, with Girls' Generation's current status, there was no need for them to sit in the audience and wait for the unveiling of the award. Therefore, TTS found an excuse of a scheduling conflict and didn't come at all.
In addition, T-ara was nominated for Best Collaboration Song for "Aren't We in Love?". Although the song was very catchy, it did not have much success. It was not competitive with the amazing "Troublemaker" and did not win the award.
Park Soyeon only won the Best Dance Performance Award out of the three nominations she mentioned over the phone. Due to the fallout from the ostracism incident, Mama cautiously did not give them the Best Female Group Award to avoid controversy. It was a very safe method.
Tang Jinyan glanced at Zheng Shunchen and knew that this was probably his idea.
On the other hand, Apink didn't even get a single nomination. The only person who came out to support them was Jung Eun-thi, and her support wasn't just a little impressive … She was actually the first guest presenter for tonight's ceremony, and she was in charge of presenting the newcomer's award!
Tang Jinyan felt that this girl was still a newbie. Didn't she just debut last year?
He could actually give an award to someone else?
Wasn't it enough to give out an award to someone else? Now, he had to accept an award himself?
Eh … wait, wait a minute …
Since she was the guest presenter, she wouldn't be sitting in the hall waiting to receive the award … After they put on their makeup, they would have to gather backstage and appear from there …
Just as Tang Jinyan realized this, he heard a knock on the door.
The staff went to open the door and saw two women walk in with their arms around each other's shoulders. When they saw the committee members in the room, they were about to salute when they froze.
Song Ji-hyo reacted quickly and let go of Jung Eun-thi's arm. She greeted Tang Jinyan, "Hello, President."
Tang Jinyan's expression was calm, "Hello, Director Song."
It was no secret that Song Ji-hyo was a director of C-JES. On the surface, the two of them seemed to have a proper superior-subordinate relationship.
After the greeting, the two of them quickly exchanged glances. They both saw something called "pain in the ass" in each other's eyes.
Zheng Endi, who was standing at the side, was dumbfounded.
Soon, the committee members frowned. This Jung Eun-thi was a little rude …
Tang Jinyan spoke again, "This girl, is she a newcomer?"
Song Ji-hyo cooperated perfectly, "Haha, Eun-thi is probably nervous because it's her first time seeing so many big shots."
Tang Jinyan nodded, "She's only 18 or 19. She looks like a student."
Jung Eun-thi felt that this sentence sounded familiar … but she couldn't remember where she had heard it.
She could tell that Tang Jinyan was trying to smooth things over for her. Her mind quickly flashed with the words "one must always stand in the position of a protector" … She pursed her lips and bowed slowly, "Tang … President Tang, hello. I'm Jung Eun-thi from Apink. Please take care of me."
"Say hello to everyone. Don't be rude."
Tang Jinyan said indifferently, "I don't have much to do with the entertainment industry … I can't take care of you."
Zheng Endi felt as if her heart had been struck by a hammer. She felt a sharp pain in her heart. She took a deep breath and said with a pale face, "Yes.
Thank you for your guidance, President Tang. "
Song Ji-hyo tugged at her. Jung Eun-thi came back to her senses and followed Song Ji-hyo numbly, bowing to the committee members one by one.
Everyone could tell that Tang Jinyan wanted to protect her. Although they didn't know the reason, no one cared about Jung Eun-thi's lack of manners. They all politely returned the greetings one by one.
Tang Jinyan looked on indifferently with a complicated look in his eyes.
There was another knock at the door. Tang Jinyan subconsciously looked and his eyes lit up.
What a beautiful woman … She might be the most beautiful woman he had seen since he started paying attention to celebrities …
The woman walked in with a smile on her face. She familiarly greeted everyone and bowed. "Please take care of me, everyone."
"Beauty XI is getting prettier by the day …"
"Representative Cui is too kind …"
It could be seen that she was a veteran who had debuted many years ago. She probably had a wide network of connections like Song Ji-hyo.
Tang Jinyan was sizing her up when Song Ji-hyo quietly leaned over and whispered with jealousy, "You can't take your eyes off her. Is Beauty Han really that beautiful?"
Tang Jinyan coughed dryly. "She's much prettier than a certain bloodthirsty person."
Jung Eun-thi stood to the side with her head lowered. In the past, when she heard such words, she would definitely be angry, but this time, she lowered her head and didn't say a word.
"Don't bully Eun-thi." Song Ji-hyo helplessly tried to smooth things over. "President Bai … Oh no, where's President Bai?
Isn't he here to give out an award? "
Tang Jinyan said nonchalantly, "Something came up at the last minute, so I'm standing in for him."
"Eh …" Song Ji-hyo's eyes widened.
Jung Eun-thi jerked her head up, her eyes even rounder than Song Ji-hyo's.
The two of them weren't as unprofessional as Baek Chang-soo and Tang Jinyan. They already knew who the guests were and what award they were going to give out …
Tang Jinyan said indifferently, "I suddenly feel that it's pretty good for me to hand over this trophy.
I also think that it's definitely the most perfect soundtrack of 2012. It's accompanied by whispers, quarrels, murmurs, torrential rain, screeching brakes, cursing, pleading, and so on. It's all in one's ears. "
Jung Eun-thi's body trembled slightly. After a long time, she stared into his eyes with reddened eyes and gritted her teeth. "It's a pity that my passionate kiss with the male lead was interrupted by a gang of delinquents."
Tang Jinyan's gaze instantly turned ferocious.
Jung Eun-thi bravely looked back at him.
Song Ji-hyo didn't bother to smooth things over. She crossed her arms and watched with great interest.
What he said was obviously the original voice between them. Eun-thi bypassed this and returned to the kissing scene on TV, which directly angered him.
From the beginning, he wanted to gain the upper hand by hurting her first. However, he didn't even have the upper hand for a few minutes before it was broken by a single sentence.
It was rare to see Master Tang Jiu being defeated, but he seemed to have never won in front of her, even if she looked as weak as an ant trying to shake a tree.
However, it was quite interesting. He clearly wanted to hurt her first, but the first thing he did was subconsciously protect her.
Did this mean that only he was allowed to hurt her, but others weren't even allowed to scold her?
In fact, in front of her, even the beautiful Beauty Han couldn't attract his attention.
Why did humans hurt each other?
Song Ji-hyo sighed philosophically.
Outside the door, a few more male guests came in along the way. One of them went straight to Jung Eun-thi. "Eun-thi XI is about to open. Let's compare the script of the newcomer award …"
Tang Jinyan didn't even look at who it was. He suddenly turned around and left.
Song Ji-hyo thought for a moment and chased after him. "Let's also compare the script …"
In the room, Jung Eun-thi leaned against the wall with a pale face, sweating profusely.
Her partner Cui Minhao in front of her greeted her, but she didn't even hear a word.
