Chapter 129: *Bang*

your two had the most interactions, which attracted quite a lot of attention. Plus, you two are the youngest members (maknae) of the group. This arrangement can generate some discussion.”"Bro, the co...After announcing the group name, they returned to the normal "Roar" stage section.

When EXO performs, the director is very interesting. He often cuts the camera to the artist seats, wanting viewers to see the idols, especially the two unnies from the same company, Girls' Generation, and Apk.

When they were young, the two sisters remained relatively calm. They mostly thought that cheering for their juniors was the main purpose, and every time the camera focused on them, they would proactively wave to the audience.

While Apk wasn't as calm as the predecessors, a few times when the camera turned to her, she didn't react much and her facial expressions weren't controlled well. She looked dazed staring at the big screen and stage.

"I Eu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-Reong you"

"I Eu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-ReongEu-Reu-Reong you"

"If you don't leave, there will be a crisis."

Under the fans' chorus, all members struck their Endgpose. Other members quickly exited the stage, the lights dimmed, leaving only a hazy spotlight on the center stage. Ji-Seong and Han started a two-person dance following the accompaniment.

This segment was originally planned to feature a fight scene between Ji Chang Wook and Han, with the conflict stemming from their rivalry over the female lead. However, in the plot-based MV, it's Kai and Han who clash due to the same reason. Since Kai is replaced by Ji Chang Wook at this point, the fight scene would feel out of place. After discussion, the stage planners decided to replace it with a synchronized dance performance by the two.

池景源's dancing skills have improved significantly over the past year. When he first joined the group, his dancing ability was at the lower end of EXO, only reaching a level that didn't hold them back. However, now when he dances with one of the lead dancers, han, he is no less impressive.

Especially his typhoon and expressiveness are very good, he has a unique characteristic of his own.

After a brief duet, the two stood at opposite sides of the stage, bowing their heads slightly. The prelude to 《Wolf》 followed, and the silhouette of the Tree of Life appeared on the screen behind them, eliciting cheers from the audience.

Although this song doesn't have the same fiery energy as "Roar," this classic pose has become a trademark for EXO, always delighting fans when they perform it.

The lights gradually dimmed, the stage plunged into darkness. Before the prelude began, ten other members posed and stood on the lift of the main stage, slowly rising to the surface accompanied by a hazy red light, appearing before all the audience. The stage for 《Wolf》 officially began.

Pool Kyungwon and Han, taking advantage of the dimmed lights and most of the audience's attention focused on the members' performance of the Tree of Life, quietly crept past from one side of the stage. As soon as Pool Kyungwon reached his position, it was his part. He jumped forcefully into the center of the stage, seamlessly continuing the performance.

The stage for 《Wolf》 did not feature any new group choreography, but a special performance was added in the middle.

Twelve members were divided into three groups of four, forming small tree-like structures. They stood in a triangle shape on stage. Simultaneously, projections of blood vessels were cast below the stage, their pulsating flow resembling blood being exchanged between several trees.

This performance not only echoed the shape and concept of the Tree of Life in *Wolf*, but also subtly conveyed a sense of 'we are one', which aligns with EXO's slogan 'weareone'.

Interestingly, whenever EXO sings the "awuuu" wolf howls part, the camera focuses on the artist's seat. Many idols, like Jung Eun Ji, will imitate the wolf howl along.

"Yes, I am a wolf aawuuuu."

"Hello."

"I am the wolf, you are the beauty."

As the familiar wolf howls faded, the music of “Wolf” gradually came to an end. After Endg’s actions, amidst the deafening cheers and screams, EXO’s entire performance was announced concluded.

The audience's excitement lingered long after EXO left the stage, their cheers echoing through the exhibition hall. The entire atmosphere was buzzing with energy, clearly amped up by the performance that had just taken place. It was evident they were deeply moved and reached a high point of enjoyment.

After EXO's performance, the next big award was 'Artist of the Year'. The presenters were Cantopop king, Aaron Kwok, and Korean actress Han Caiying. However, the two seemed somewhat out of sync standing together.

The suspense was revealed quickly, and the last annual artist award went to solo GD.

When GD heard his name, he stood up and bowed to the artists' seats and the audience to express his gratitude. Then, with that iconic yellow sashimi hairstyle, he walked briskly to the stage to receive the award and began his acceptance speech.

He left the bigbang group, and his solo career still won major awards. GD's popularity and style are indeed unique.

After receiving the award, there was a break and an advertisement time. After about ten minutes, EXO returned to their artist's seats when the awards ceremony resumed.

This arrangement seems to foreshadow that they will be the stars of the last film to be awarded.

After coming off the stage, they hadn't changed their clothes. At this point, the members were no longer as calm and composed as before; everyone had become noticeably more tense.

From the beginning of the award ceremony to now, they have been spectators all along.

Although the stage performance had been prepared for a long time and was performed flawlessly, the audience's response was extremely enthusiastic. And according to the manager, after their performance ended, the peninsula's network sparked a wave of discussion, with countless people being very amazed and satisfied with their performance this time.

...But their main purpose for attending MAMA was still to win the final grand prize, and now there is only one left out of three.

Although the organizers had hinted beforehand, otherwise they wouldn't have made so many preparations, MAMA's organizers have a generally poor reputation and it wouldn't be surprising if they pulled something out of the hat. Who knows if they'll create a big upset to grab everyone's attention and make headlines

When the time came, every member, including Chi Jingyuan, felt a sense of nervousness and anxiety.

To be honest, all the performances on stage that day didn't really interest Ji-yeong. He wasn't impressed by the rap performance of his hiphop senior Jae Ho, nor by the impressive Ra who was already successful and dating Kim Tae Hee. Even the solo stages by BIGBANG members like Taeyang, Seungri, G-Dragon, TOP, and their group performance didn't pique his interest at all.

He only smiles and claps to show support for the artists when the camera focuses on him, or during bigbang's performance when he comes down to interact with them. After the cameras are gone, he returns to his original expression.

The most telling expression of their feelings was from Ji Seongwon and Woo Shihun, the masters of slacking off. Even they had no mind for laziness at this moment, their eyes fixed on the stage as if deep in thought.

Finally, as all EXO members and fans anxiously awaited, the aa awards ceremony progressed to its final stage, with the third grand prize, "Album of the Year," being awarded.

The presenter was Peninsula male actor Gao Xiu, dressed in a well-fitted black suit and tie, he walked to the center of the stage microphone and began his endless performance.

First, I would like to thank the audience for being here today. I want to compliment the beautiful scenery and the wonderful people of Hong Kong.Let me take a moment to reminisce about the preparation process for today's performance. How did I choose my outfit What was it like getting ready with the team I also want to commend all the participating artists for their hard work in preparing the stage and rehearsals. Finally, let's look forward to an even more spectacular show next year!

It's unclear whether it was because the broadcast time was too short, so the organizer specifically instructed him to drag out the time, or if Gao Xiu himself is just a very verbose person. He stood there rambling on and on endlessly, making Ji Jingyuan and the members increasingly impatient.

After talking for a long time, when the audience began to murmur with impatience, Gao Xiu finally entered the award ceremony. Under his guidance, the VCR of the nominees started playing.

The 'Album of the Year' competition in 2013 was truly fierce. The VCR started with EXO, followed by GD, Girls' Generation, SHINee, and Cho Yongpil.

After the VCR, the audience thought he was going to announce the winner and started shouting loudly. Many people were chanting the names of their favorite idols, with EXO’s cheers being the loudest.

Gao Xiu is really interesting, he speaks very slowly, his pauses and intonation are quite dramatic. But what's more, he keeps dangling the suspense, saying irrelevant things to waste time, and just refuses to look at the envelope with the winner's name on it.

Though his actions were indeed unorthodox, they successfully heightened the atmosphere of the entire venue. The emotions of all the audience members were stirred by him, and the deafening cheers rose and fell in waves, resounding throughout the hall without a moment's silence.

including Zhou Tzuyu, Kong Xue who are watching the live stream, many idols, and all the fans feel being hanged up, their hearts are full of urgency.

Including EXO, everyone was already nervous. With Gao Xiu's actions, everyone's heart skipped a beat. At this final moment of announcing the results, no one could remain calm.

Tao lowered his head, clasped his hands together under his chin and silently prayed. Kim Jun-myeon’s signature business smile had become stiff, and Han's forehead was already sweating, trickling down the sides of his face.

At this moment, the camera suddenly focused on Chi Jingyuan from below, and his close-up appeared on the big screen just in time.

Only to see Chi Jingyuan sitting on the bench, his arm resting on the armrest of the chair, his right hand clenched into a fist, blocking his mouth and chin. A pair of soft eyes were now bright and intense, staring intently at the stage direction. Beads of sweat could be faintly seen seeping through his silver-grey bangs.

Because the camera angle was from below, it perfectly showcased Pool Jingyuan's profile and jawline.

In this shot, anyone can see the tension and urgency in his mood, laced with unease and apprehension.

Fans screamed at the appropriate time, but Ji Jingyuan's demeanor remained unchanged, still patiently waiting for the results to be announced.

Finally, or perhaps he felt he was dragging it out too long, or maybe the director through his earpiece told him he'd lingered enough, Gao Xiu still opened the envelope.

"In 2013, at the MAMA Annual Awards Ceremony, Album of the Year Award…"

“…………“

He tore open the envelope, his lips twitching after seeing the name on top. He smiled, a distorted smile, and after a deliberate pause, he shouted out a name in a loud voice:

"EXO!"

A deafening roar erupted, with the entire audience simultaneously unleashing an unimaginable decibel level.

The camera immediately zoomed in on the EXO members' seats. All of them looked visibly relieved as they stood up and excitedly clapped, bowing, celebrating.

And a camera once again focused on Chi Jingyuan's position.

"Phew…"

In the picture, he let out a soft sigh after hearing the name EXO. He unclenched his fist and rubbed it against his chin, then broke into a smile all over his face.

It seems he sensed the camera was pointed at him, Ji Jingyuan stood up while turning his body sideways and glancing at the camera with a slant.

He smiled and raised his right hand, extending his index finger and thumb to form a gun shape. He pursed his lips, lifted the corners of his mouth, and pointed the "gun" at the camera at close range before making a light "firing" gesture.

"Slap."
