Chapter 93: MKMF (I)

In 2008, for the three of Jin Shenghan, a historic moment came, and a music road that was about to open slowly emerged in front of them, with golden light shining and stars shining!

On November 13, "ayyygirl" squeezed into the top 60 of the billboard, and after this battle, it caused a sensation in the Asian Hallyu circle. In South Korea, all the media reporters, all the media reporters, are spared, and they praise loudly, this is the moment of JAJ, and it is also the moment of the Korean song industry!

On November 14th, "ayyygirl" successfully broke through the shackles of the top 50 on the Billboard, breaking the limits that many Asian singers have never done, and also successfully crossed the past. At this time, Bao'er's "EatYouUp" is still on the verge of the top 100, and it can be held hard. JAJ's sudden force attracted the attention of the American media, and at noon that day, Kim Sung-han and the three went to the agreed recording location to be interviewed by Billboard.

In the interview, the host did not hesitate to say some praise words used for the first time in Asians, and the host with a kind smile seemed to be very optimistic about the three of Jin Shenghan.

Throughout the interview, the same English did not affect the three of Jin Shenghan, and even Jiang Enchan also showed good English skills, which surprised the host.

"JAJ is very popular in the U.S. right now, and before I came to shoot, I saw a lot of fans waiting outside, not only Asians, but also many Americans." The host smiled and truthfully introduced the popularity of JAJ now.

After only a few days of debut in the United States, JAJ's accumulated popularity is still based on the foundation it once had. But as the host said, in the United States. JAJ also has a certain fan base, not much. But apparently there is, and the number is bound to continue to grow.

"We were pleasantly surprised by the collaboration with Kanye, most of whom are some of the world's most famous musicians, and it was a privilege to have their help. We want to be able to try many styles of music and have a lot of fans like us......," Kim Sung-han replied to the host's question about working with Kanye.

The achievements of the three in Asia The host also knew in advance, so to speak, not counting his debut in the United States, JAJ is also very popular in Asia. The role of wanting to rain can have such a height without revealing a trace of arrogance when being interviewed, which makes these Americans who are already very arrogant can't help but add a little favorability, and the praise for the three of them is also wave after wave, appearing frequently.

The whole interview was not long, not even an hour. After the interview, the three of them began to perform the new song "ayyygirl" on the spot.

Sitting on the high chair, holding the off-line microphone in their hands, the expressions of the three of them cooled slightly. It's brewing...... What follows is a burst of dynamic rhythms and melodies.

"Among your highest honors, only the skin of all my striking art. In everything that happens. This part is important to me, I tattooed your name on my tongue when my heart was torn......"

"Ayyygirl tries to make you my baby; ayyygirl。 It's not that you're driving me crazy......"

The news of the Billboard's interview soon spread to South Korea, and the fact that the Billboard offered to invite an interview was a matter of great pride for South Koreans. The song "ayyygirl" doesn't matter how good or bad they are. At least in the United States, the three of them have succeeded. The song is already considered a success.

The overwhelming news is flying around, and as a result, JAJ's popularity in South Korea has always remained at a high level. The JAJ outbreak was quickly used by Mnet, and before they knew it, a group of people had already flown from South Korea to Los Angeles on that day.

The singles of Kim Sung-han and the three have been announced, so it is natural to start a series of promotional activities. Starting November 15, promotional performances will be held in 10 cities across the United States, starting with Los Angeles. On November 15th, the performance in Los Angeles, MKMF's award ceremony, Kim Sung-han, and the three of them were naturally unable to participate in the live broadcast, so an interview will be broadcast in the form of a video, and on the 15th, the grand scene of JAJ's performance will be connected to the big screen in South Korea with a video.

In addition to a single, the three of Kim Sung-han will also choose some song covers, and in addition, a few songs from the English album will be secretly announced on the spot. Before their single was fully produced, the English album had already been recorded, and the trio had already recorded a few songs.

The first official album is already being prepared, and the three of Kim Sung-han are involved in the production of this album and have collaborated with Rodney.

In the afternoon, Jung Hyun-chul led a group of Mnet staff to the U.S. office of HOOK to shoot an interview video for Kim Sung-han and the three in advance. The three of Jin Shenghan, who had finished the stage rehearsal in the afternoon, rushed over in the evening and began recording after a greeting.

The process is relatively cheerful, with constant laughter during which each topic seems to trigger several laughs. Gradually, the scene became casual and relaxed, and the three of Jin Shenghan noticed that the interview questions this time were relatively gentle, and almost did not involve some private matters.

After the interview, with the consent of Kim Sung-han, the cameraman and PD followed the three all the way, wandered around some famous places in the city for a while, and also came to Kim Sung-han's home to shoot a scene. Before coming to Jin Shenghan's house, everyone's reaction was exactly the same as what Jiang Euncan saw.

The big white bear dog Nuuk, the private swimming pool, the green lawn courtyard, and the white-walled and red-tiled villa are all like a dream. At the first moment after reacting, PD was excited, and the first announcement of Kim Sunghan's house was on Mnet TV.

Here, they also met Kim Ruoyan, who had a storm in South Korea, Kim Sunghan's sister. I haven't seen it for a few years, and it seems to have become more temperamental than it was at the beginning. The slim figure is like a beautiful embryo, and her long hair is fluttering. Born beautiful.

……

Nov. 15, morning. The PD of MNET TV station has set up equipment at the performance location and has begun to try to link with the mainland of Korea and make adjustments. At the same time, the stage rehearsal of the three JAJs also entered the last time. After lunch at noon, as usual, the three of them began to rest before the performance, waiting for the performance to begin.

After the evening, a crowd gradually appeared into the performance venue, and PD deliberately gave a shot after it was full. Nearly 10,000 fans occupied the front of the stage. It's like a thick wall. It's not as many fans as a concert in Korea, but don't forget, it's in the United States!

The fact that the first performance attracted nearly 10,000 fans was great for an Asian group. If the position is too large at the beginning, if the number of people does not meet the requirements and the empty seats are exposed, it will be a shame and a big loss. Secondly, the location is set less. It can't highlight the atmosphere, so the position of about 10,000 is also weighed in this way.

On the same day, South Korea at this time was also an unprecedented scene. From noon. In front of the Jamsil Stadium, a large number of fans gathered.

In addition to the unprecedented six hours of red carpet and awards ceremony, the awards ceremony will also be broadcast live to China, Japan and South Korea for the first time. It is understood. The MKMFM Awards will be broadcast live on Mnet Japan and M-onTV in Japan, and on Tianjin Satellite TV in China. Coupled with broadcasts in Thailand, Malaysia and other countries, hundreds of millions of Asian viewers are expected to watch the MKMF Music Awards this year.

The person in charge of Mnet Television, the organizer of the awards ceremony, said, "In the past, Korean music's overseas expansion was limited to a small number of specific singers and songs. In order to give Asian fans a more comprehensive understanding of Korean music. This time, the simultaneous live broadcast of China, Japan and South Korea was planned. ”

As an award ceremony that has been held for 10 years, MKMF has been criticized in many places, but it has been able to hold each edition with great momentum. As for fans, they have never been scarce.

This year's music industry is particularly exciting, and there are no artists who have dominated the whole year. Especially in the second half of the year, there are many heroes, and in terms of group groups, TVXQ, Bigbang and Wondergirls are the three major idol groups in the second half of this year, and other group groups are not even JAJ are in the back row. Among solo singers, although Xu Taizhi, who returned this year, has not achieved satisfactory results, he can also be regarded as a standout among men's solo, and among the female solo singers, Lee Hyo-ri, who has become the general trend with "U-go-girl", is obviously the leader, and even Sun Danfei, who has gained a lot of popularity with the cooperation between "Crazy" and the captain of the mythical group, is also behind.

With the momentum, the length of the event, and all the other factors converging, this year's MKMF Awards is clearly full of highlights.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, under the opening of this year's newcomer group 2am, the red carpet of MKMF officially kicked off. The artists who came from outside the venue were overwhelming. 2am, Browneyedgirls, Jewelry, TVXQ, SHINee, Lee Hyori, Wondergirls, and Bigbang, the appearance of each artist always elicits violent screams.

On the red carpet, especially the women's costumes are the most peculiar, which can be said to be competing for beauty and a hundred schools of thought. The endless costumes attract the attention of the men in the audience, just like radar, and the men present without exception will be the most serious and concerned when the female artists are present.

The 2008 MKMF Awards Ceremony will be based on netizen voting, jury selection, record sales, and music downloads, and will select more than 30 awards, including 3 awards and 7 singer awards. In order to prevent previous accidents, artists are notified in advance of the awards they have won for their songs. It is precisely because of this that there are unfair remarks, and the refusal of the artists to attend gives the organizers a reason to transfer the awards.

I don't know if this year's MKMF can learn a lesson and continue to be held in peace...... (To be continued......)
