The Peninsula chaebol started by rescuing Samsung's little princess.
Chapter 516 The Rise of a New Girl Group
"...Ah, it's because it hurts so much that I'm like this."
Ah, it's because it hurts so much that I'm like this.
Where are you, the one who took my heart away?
Come back, N.9!
"N.9" truly lives up to its name as a battle anthem; its powerful electronic dance music instantly ignited the entire venue.
On December 3, 2014, AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong was packed with visitors.
Once known as the Hollywood of the East, the girl group Taa, from the peninsula, is now performing on stage.
When Hong Kong was at its peak, it produced a large number of stars who were famous throughout Asia and even the world, becoming a part of the youthful memories of a generation of young people on the peninsula.
However, twenty years later, the Korean wave invaded Hong Kong, leaving the entertainment industry in ruins.
Nowadays, young people only know KPP, but not XiangPP.
Well, of course, it's not the fault of young people these days. How could they know things they don't have?
After all, Keung To, the future top star of Hong Kong, hasn't even debuted yet!
The 2014 Mnt Asian Music Awards, later known as the MAMA Awards, is being held here.
Since 2010, this awards ceremony has often been held overseas.
Even though Keiko has suppressed CJ quite a bit in the past two years, she still gave the green light all the way in this matter.
After all, this kind of thing involves her political achievements and the image of the country. Even if she is stupid, she would not do something that would dig her own grave!
"Jeon Boram, Lee Qri, Park Soyeon, Ham Eunjung, Park Hyomin, Park Jiyeon, Taa!"
Let's go together! T-aa, the chameleon of the music world, Number 9, T-aa, T-aa…”
Although this is Hong Kong, many fans from mainland China flocked here, shouting cheers for Taa who was performing on stage.
Such a supportive slogan turned this awards ceremony into their own concert.
"Thank you Taa for the wonderful performance!"
After the song ended, host Song Seung-heon returned to the stage. After seeing Taa off, he began the next part of the awards ceremony.
"Next up is the most important award of the evening, Singer of the Year. Let's welcome the presenter to the stage!"
As Song Seung-heon finished speaking, he was seen leading the applause.
The audience didn't take it to heart at first, and just gave a symbolic clapping.
However, at that moment, a person walked up from backstage and it was none other than Liu Hua!
In an instant, the applause, which had been somewhat polite, turned into a burst of enthusiasm!
As a top star of the previous generation, Andy Lau was truly a superstar for decades.
Since 2012, MAMA has been inviting Chinese-speaking celebrities to its stage. Jack Cheng, Chow Yun-fat and others have been presenters, and JJ Lin, Wang Leehom, Cai Yiling and others have been performing guests!
This year it's Liu Hua's turn!
As Liu Hua took the stage, the atmosphere reached its peak, and the artists from Peninsula Entertainment in the audience stood up to show their respect upon seeing him.
"Thank you so much for remembering me!"
Liu Hua's words made the atmosphere at the scene even more explosive.
It must be said that Liu Hua spoke very calmly on stage, talking about himself, the entire entertainment industry of the peninsula, and then about albums, after all, the final award was for Best Album.
While it's true that in terms of the prestige of awards, MAMA is certainly not as prestigious as the Seoul Music Awards or the MMA from Mars Music.
But it is definitely one of the most influential awards on Peninsula every year, and it is recognized by all artists on Peninsula.
At tonight's awards ceremony, Taa was undoubtedly the biggest winner.
They won the most prestigious awards: Artist of the Year and Best Girl Group.
The Best Male Group award went to NN, the Best New Artist award went to Taeyang, the Best Male Artist award went to U, and so on.
And for the equally important award of Album of the Year, Taa is certainly a strong contender!
"The albums nominated for Best Album of the Year include 'Addicted,' Taa's 'N.9,' Bat's 'Luck,' Up Jun's 'Mamacta,' Girls' Generation's 'MM'..."
Despite the good sales and reviews of the albums Liu Hua mentioned, everyone knows that the winners this time will only be the top two.
Three months after its release, N.9's album sales actually surpassed those of Addicted.
Of course, if you look at the actual sales figures for the two albums, they are still high!
There's no way around it; boy bands' album sales are inherently higher than girl bands', which is due to market positioning.
After all, female fans' spending power is more frenzied and impulsive, which male fans cannot compare to.
But Taa has Li Haorong helping him boost his popularity!
To ensure Taa's success throughout the year, Li Haorong personally purchased nearly 100,000 albums, ultimately helping Taa surpass Li Haorong's previous record.
Seeing Li Haorong's stance, the owners of other entertainment companies naturally chose to back down.
Are you kidding me? What makes you think you can compete with Asia's richest man for the top spot on the list?
Moreover, everyone knows how much Li Haorong values this year's Taa award, so of course they're giving him face.
Taa's return this time represents not only themselves, but also the return of Venus Entertainment and the entire Galaxy Group to the right track!
In fact, you can see this from the list of nominees for Album of the Year. Basically, all the nominees are either from Venus Entertainment or M!
Clearly, a new emperor brings a new court; Bban and 2N1, who were riding high the previous two years, have gone home empty-handed this year.
Even Taeyang's masterpiece "Eyes, Nose, Mouth" still couldn't win the Best Song award.
"The ultimate winner is... Taa!"
As Liu Hua read out the final answer, he completely killed the suspense.
The entire scene descended into chaos.
Although many of Taa's fans cheered and applauded for Taa, fans from other groups questioned the authenticity of the award!
These fans are not just fans of one company. For example, EXO fans believe that their idols have been framed.
For example, Girls' Generation's N, seeing Taa become the second girl group after their own group to reach the top, naturally had to criticize them!
In addition, fans from other groups expressed various other emotions and made all sorts of sarcastic remarks.
But whatever you say, the fact is that Taa ultimately took the MAMA Album of the Year award from Liu Hua on the awards stage.
And predictably, this is just the beginning for them.
Everyone knows that no amount of doubt can stop Taa from sweeping all the awards at the end of this year with her rising momentum.
"Thank you to the organizers of Mnt for recognizing us and awarding us this prize!"
This time, none of the girls from Taa cried despite their disappointment.
After all, they have already won countless awards this year, so they won't feel the same joy as when they won an award again after two years.
Although the current leader has changed to Lee Qri, Taa's spokesperson has never changed; it has always been their first leader, Ham Eun-jung.
Only when Ham Eun-jung has finished speaking or doesn't want to speak will Park So-yeon take the microphone and say, "I'd like to add a few words..."
"Next, I'd like to thank CCM, Venus Entertainment, and Tiger Oppa. It's because you never gave up on us and gave us such great songs that we were able to return to the public eye..."
Ham Eun-jung thanked many people, but notably omitted Lee Ho-young, clearly to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. No matter how much the news is blocked, many ordinary people now know that Taa is related to Li Haorong.
But that's how fans are; unless there's solid evidence, they don't believe it's true!
They even readily label any emerging signs as rumors.
"Finally, we want to thank our most beloved supporters, whether they are Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, or of course Korean. It is because of your unwavering support that we can continue on this path..."
This award is naturally very important to the six members of Taa!
They once thought their careers were over and that the whole world was against them, never imagining they would be where they are today!
The trophy in their hands now tells them that they are finally making a comeback, and they are doing better than before!
After giving their remarks, the six girls bowed again in gratitude, a moment captured by the photographer's camera.
A new girl group has now reached the top!
