Prologue at the end of the 125th year

Approaching the end of the year, all artists know that the year-end drama is about to kick off. There are film festivals, TV dramas have acting awards from various TV stations, TV variety shows have acting awards from Brother TV, and music has music award ceremonies, and everyone seems to be getting busy.

Since Lee Joon-yi has never made a movie, this year's film awards ceremony naturally has nothing to do with him. As the first music awards ceremony to be held at the end of the year, the MKMF Awards Ceremony will be held on November 25. Although there is still nearly a month before the time of the show, all the singers have been mobilized early and have begun to prepare for the big show at the end of the year.

Li Zhunyi naturally had no idleness, so he contacted Lin Xiyuan early to make arrangements for Li Zhunyi's performance at the award ceremony.

At the beginning, it was hoped that Lee Joon-yi and Lee Hyori could collaborate on the stage of "Mad", as one of the popular songs this year, the pas de deux of Lee Joon-yi and Park Ka-hee has also become a hot topic, and on the stage at the end of the year, if Lee Hyori and Lee Joon-yi can be invited to work together, the sparks that will burst out of the two will naturally be extremely exciting. Unfortunately, Lee Hyo-ri announced early that he would not attend the MKMF awards ceremony, and this plan had to be abandoned. In the end, Lee Joon-yi's "Mad" stage was still prepared by himself. Of course, in order to prepare for the award ceremony, the choreography of the stage naturally needs to make some changes, and Lee Joon-yi has been discussing the stage with Park Jiaxi recently.

For the year-end awards ceremony, it is a star-studded stage, and what is absolutely indispensable is naturally the stage of cooperation between artists and artists, which makes the year-end awards ceremony a grand event. Lee Joon-yi also received an invitation, although he missed the opportunity to cooperate with Lee Hyo-ri, Lee Joon-yi ushered in the stage of cooperation with Baek Ji-young.

Baek Ji-young gained the highest popularity this year with the song "No More Love", and in terms of song results alone, it surpassed Lee Hyo-ri's second album "", which is the most female singer. Naturally, this song will also be the highlight of the ceremony. Since this is a slow lyrical song, in order to increase the highlights, the TV station finally found the songwriter of the song, Lee Joon-yi, to sing this hit track with Baek Ji-young. On the one hand, Lee Joon-yi is one of the hottest newcomers this year, and on the other hand, he is the songwriter of the song.

Due to the imminent start of the broadcast of "The Witch's Condition", Lee Joon-yi has been busy filming recently, even so, he still needs to squeeze out time for rehearsals. Park Jiaxi is okay to say, although she has been busy with the company's trainees recently, but at least the time is easier to adjust. But Bai Zhiying is also busy at the end of the year, and it is very difficult to adjust the time, so she and Lee Joon-yi have been trying to find time to come out to practice, but they haven't found time to practice together. Lee Joon-yi rearranged the song of "No More Love" and sent the song to Baek Ji-young, and the two exchanged opinions on the phone, and that's it.

Soon after, the waitlist for the award ceremony was also officially announced, which caused major media to reprint. Lin Xiyuan also got the waitlist as soon as possible, came to the set, and read it with Li Zhunyi, who was resting.

The most valued by Li Zhunyi is naturally the Best Newcomer Award, which can only be won once in a lifetime, which is undoubtedly very special for any newcomer. Lee Joon-yi was successfully shortlisted for "Mad", and among the other contenders, Lee Joon-yi actually saw a familiar name - Zhang Li-yin. This little girl from Chengdu, China, entered the company a little later than Li Zhunyi, and is quite famous among the trainees for her excellent singing skills.

Two months ago, Zhang Li-yun and TVXQ member Kim Jun-so made their debut with a song "Timeless", and set an astonishing result of 870,000 downloads on the Internet. She is a candidate for Best Newcomer, and she deserves it.

Seeing this, Li Zhun Yi showed a faint smile. Come to think of it, this year is also a very special year. First Han Geng debuted as a member and became the first Chinese to debut in South Korea, followed by Lee Joon-yi, and then Zhang Li-yin. Not only that, Lee Joon-yi and Zhang Li-yun were shortlisted as the candidates for the best newcomer together, and they were also shortlisted for the best newcomer group. The three Chinese who debuted have achieved remarkable results.

On the waiting list for Best Female Singer and Best Group, Lee Joon-yi saw many familiar faces, including Baek Ji-young and TVXQ.

Among the candidates for the song section, "Mad" was shortlisted for the Grand Prix in the R&B category, which can only be regarded as a small accident. Although it is a newcomer, this year's "Mad" has indeed caused a lot of repercussions on the Internet, and it is not surprising that he is shortlisted as an alternate. But the third song "Please Be Careful" in Lee Joon-yi's album was actually shortlisted for the Excellence Award in the lyric department, which made Lee Joon-yi and Lin Xiyuan very, very surprised.

The song "Please Be Careful" has a very good reputation, but Lee Joon-yi did not carry out any publicity on the stage, but only sang it a few times when he was doing variety shows. In terms of online sales, "Please Be Careful" ranked after "Mad" and became the second highest-selling song on Lee Joon-yi's album. So being a candidate for the best award in the lyrical department is the first surprise of the day.

In the MV part, "Mad" unfortunately did not enter any awards, which is normal, after all, YJ really can't invest too much experience in the MV when the funds are insufficient.

In terms of the popularity award, it is all singers who are shortlisted for the voting option. After the audience voted, five different popularity awards were selected, including the mobile voting section, the online voting department, the online music sales department, the overseas voting department, and finally the official website voting department. Although Lee Joon-yi is a candidate in all five departments, Lee Joon-yi and Lin Xiyuan both believe that 90 percent of the newcomers to Lee Joon-yi are hopeless with these awards. So I'll skip it.

Today's second surprise comes from the creation award. Composition Award, Lyrics Award, Arrangement Award, these three creative awards, Li Zhun Yi was actually shortlisted, this is the biggest surprise today, it is enough to make Li Zhun Yi as happy as being shortlisted for the Best Newcomer Award. Creation, this is the best affirmation of a producer. And Lee Joon-yi personally produced his first album, which has been so recognized, which is definitely something to be happy about.

"Mad" was shortlisted for the Composition and Arrangement awards, while "No More Love" was shortlisted for the Composition and Lyrics awards. In terms of composition, Lee Joon-yi occupies two seats on the five waitlists, and he is also a newcomer who participates in the award ceremony for the first time, which is definitely a big surprise.

Do the math, Lee Joon-yi was actually shortlisted for six awards, and among many singers, he was only behind SG. and TVXQ, which made Lin Xiyuan and Lee Joon-yi happy. Of course, this is only a waitlist, and whether or not you can win the award is another matter.

When asked about Lee Joon-yi's most important award, it is naturally the Best Newcomer Award, and secondly, Lee Joon-yi is also very coveted for the three awards in the creative department. However, compared to lyrics and arrangement, Lee Joon-yi still prefers composition awards. The lyrics are made in Korean, and Lee Joon-yi thinks that he is not as good as the Koreans; the arrangement shows not only his personal musical literacy, but also the skillful use of various instruments and instruments in the recording studio, Lee Joon-yi has just started on the road, and there are more things that need to be slowly learned from Yin Wenye. Therefore, Lee Joon-yi's most confident thing is the composition part, and he can get recognition from the composition side, even if it is a great affirmation of his first year of making his own album.

However, even so, Lin Xiyuan is still a little dissatisfied, "If the waitlist for the best OST award is announced later," he said 100% of the finalists. The theme song of "The Witch's Condition", "" has become a favorite of the entire crew. It's just a pity that Lee Joon-yi's album hasn't been released so soon, and now the recording of the entire song has been completed, but it has not been released for the time being. So, it's just circulating within the crew. There is no way to share it with everyone, which has always been a regret for everyone in the crew. However, in order to cooperate with the broadcast of "The Witch's Condition", there is no way to do it. So Lin Xiyuan just complained and complained, and felt a little regretful.

The waitlist for the first award ceremony at the end of the year was released, and the assignment of stage performance tasks made Lee Joon-yi's mood fluctuate slightly. Last year, Li Zhunyi and Lin Xiyuan were spectators at the award ceremony as staff members, and they will participate in this year, and their mood will inevitably fluctuate. But then, the Golden Record Awards Ceremony, the awards ceremony of the three major TV stations, and the TV drama acting awards will come together. At this time, Lee Joon-yi deeply felt how important the end of the year was for artists. This is not only a summary of a year's work, but also an affirmation of a year's work.

The award is not only a trophy, but also a reflection of popularity and achievements. It is more about giving a formal certification on the official word-of-mouth, and affirming the hard work and sweat paid.

Although the award ceremony is very special and very important. But there are also many who will not participate. For example, Lee Hyori, but the reason why Lee Hyori didn't participate was because of the plagiarism of the album, and Lee Hyori felt that it was inappropriate to appear on stage. This was a joint decision between Lee Hyo-ri's company and the TV station. On the phone, Lee Hyo-ri told Lee Joon-yi without any concealment, which made Lee Joon-yi feel guilty. The plagiarism storm has passed, and there is no evidence that it is plagiarism, but because of this incident, Lee Hyori's album is in a very embarrassing position, how can it make people laugh.

In addition to Lee Hyori, Rain and se7en will not participate in MKMF, and the absence of these top stars will definitely make the award ceremony a lot more disgraced. Among the newcomers, Bigbang did not plan to attend MKMF, much to the surprise of Lee Joon-yi.

However, Kwon Ji-ryong didn't know the specific reason, but said that the president Yang Hyun-seok asked them not to attend. Lee Joon-yi vaguely felt that maybe it was because of YG's company's holiday, but there was no evidence of this, and there were no rumors in the circle, it was just Lee Joon-yi's own speculation, which was untenable.

As the premiere of "The Witch's Condition" gets closer and closer, and at the same time, MKMF's preparations are in full swing, Yoon Young-joon finally returns from vacation.
