Every year, especially at the end of the year, in order to commend the artists for their hard work in the past year, some units and relevant departments in the Korean entertainment industry will hold many award ceremonies and award various awards to the artists.

The scale is relatively small, there are relatively one-sided awards such as "the sexiest male/female artist" and "the most popular mom penger" sponsored by the newspaper, and the larger ones are the various large-scale awards parties held by the three major TV stations and other large-scale media.

There are 'Acting Awards' for variety artists, 'Ballad Awards', 'Golden Record Awards', 'Music Source Awards' for singers, and 'Acting Awards' for actors, 'Busan International Film Festival', 'Blue Dragon Award', 'Daejong Award' and so on. In short, no matter what profession you are, there will always be awards for you to work hard for.

In terms of credibility, the most authoritative is the Baeksang Art Awards, which have been held since 1965.

Why is the 'Baeksang Art Awards' the most credible and authoritative?

First, this award was established at the earliest, starting in 1965, and until now, it has been held once a year, and this year it is the 48th edition. This kind of history is not available at other award ceremonies.

The second reason is that the Baeksang Art Award is the only comprehensive art award in Korea. Whether you're an actor, a singer, or even a comedian, as long as you do enough good work in your job, you may win an award. Don't look at career, don't look at fame. Looking at the performance of the past year, it is precisely because of this professionalism that the Baeksang Art Awards have enough authority.

The most rear. It is because the organizer of the Baeksang Art Awards is a daily sports newspaper with sufficient credibility, and the co-organizer is the Ministry of Culture of the Central Daily, which has a government/government background. For ordinary people, the credibility of the government/government is definitely higher than that of a single TV station, and it is more trustworthy. Naturally, it is easier to get recognition from the public.

To put it in layman's terms, the "trophies won at the year-end galas of the three major TV stations" are more valuable than the "first place won in various competitions held by the newspapers", and the "trophies won at the Baeksang Art Awards" are more valuable than the "trophies won at the year-end galas of the three major TV stations".

And Li Jingyuan this time. The 'National Medal' received directly from the President is much more valuable than the final prize of the Baeksang Art Awards. It is important to know that the latter is only an appraisal activity held by a unit with a government/government background, while the 'National Medal' won by Li Jingyuan was directly awarded by the government/government. More direct. Naturally, it is more valuable.

Scarcity is precious, and this principle is universal everywhere. It is precisely because few people in the entertainment industry have received commendations and medals from the government before, so Li Jingyuan's receipt of medals from the government/government this time will be particularly sensational.

Moreover, the medal that Li Jingyuan won is not just a 'sports medal' or a 'cultural medal', but a higher-grade 'national medal'.

The contestants for the 'Sports Medal' will only be people from the sports world, and the contestants for the 'Cultural Medal' will only be for people of various cultures who have contributed to the dissemination of culture. However, those who compete for the 'National Medal'. However, there are no restrictions on occupations, but elites in various industries are included. Other words. Only by defeating all opponents and defeating countless elites from all walks of life can it be possible to obtain a heavyweight medal such as the 'National Medal'.

Scientists' inventions are real, and economists' achievements can also be counted by numbers, relatively speaking, artists are more tragic, even if they do make a big enough contribution, but because the final result is not intuitive, it will always leave people with a feeling of 'not convincing enough' in the end.

In other words, if artists want to win the same medal, the difficulty will be much more than that of workers in other professions, and it may even increase exponentially.

Under such a premise, the fact that 'Li Jingyuan won the National Medal' will naturally be even more surprising.

During the whole process of the commendation conference, there have been reporters who have been tracking and reporting. How could journalists not act quickly after such an important event?

At four o'clock, Lee Kyung-won's uniform was pinned with a medal by Lee Myung-bak, and by 4:05, there had already been first-hand reports on the Internet, and there were detailed reports with pictures.

In just five minutes, the reporters completed the series of tasks of 'writing', 'collaborating', 'proofreading', 'reviewing', and 'publishing'. I have to say that the efficiency of the reporters is too high. It can also be seen from this how valuable the matter of 'Li Jingyuan getting the medal' is to reporters.

"What? Lee Kyung-won received the 'National Medal' from the President? ”

"It's fake news, right? How can an artist be rewarded with such a high-level medal? ”

"That is, even if Li Jingyuan wins three gold medals in the Olympic Games, he can't reach the level of 'National Medal', right? I think that even if you want to award him a medal, it should be a 'sports medal' or a 'cultural medal'. ”

As soon as the news on the Internet was released, countless netizens immediately expressed their opinions on this matter. Speaking of which, most of the people who will be staying by the computer at this time are fans who have gotten the news before, knowing that the idols are going to the contestants' village for a performance, and then waiting for the first-hand performance information of their idols. Most of these fans are relatively young, and it is the period when the 'rebellious mentality' is more serious, so after seeing the news that 'Li Jingyuan got the medal', they will be so suspicious.

Of course, no matter how much you doubted it, it only lasted for a few hours. The reason is very simple, that is, because at eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the news programs of the three major TV stations officially reported the news. The news on the Internet may also be a prank made by some people after their brains are hot. But the evening news on the hour could not be of that nature at all, let alone that. The content of the news also involves the president, so it is naturally even more impossible to deceive.

If the discussion triggered by the Internet news around 4 o'clock in the afternoon was at the level of a 'wave', then after the news broadcast on the hour in the evening, the heated discussion caused by it can be regarded as a big movement at the level of a 'typhoon'.

There are still a few friends who were invited by Li Jingyuan to perform in the contestants' village, and the friends who were not invited still accounted for the vast majority. Moreover, these friends who were not invited to the contestants' village. It's also a little older in terms of age, and the attention to the news is also higher than that of idols, so. Most of them knew the news that 'Li Jingyuan got the medal' as soon as possible.

Asking and congratulating, no matter what the purpose is, it is always indispensable to call Li Jingyuan as soon as possible anyway. Thereupon. When performance in player village is carried out. Li Jingyuan, the inviter, was dizzy by one phone call after another. If he hadn't turned off his mobile phone in time, maybe Li Jingyuan wouldn't have thought about it all night.

Although he didn't receive any phone calls later, the phone calls he received in front of him were enough to make Li Jingyuan realize how curious his friends were about the news of his award. After thinking about it for a while, Li Jingyuan felt that it was necessary to find a suitable window to tell this matter at one time, otherwise, the curiosity of his friends would not be satisfied. Li Jingyuan will definitely face the situation of 'hiding for a while, but not for a lifetime'.

"Otherwise. Let's go to 'strengthen the heart'. Looking at the mobile phone that was already a little hot in his hand, Li Jingyuan thought about it for a while, and thought of a program that is more suitable for conveying moods and ideas, that is, the "Strong Heart" program hosted by Jiang Hudong and Lee Seung-gi and produced by SBS TV.

In the original history, at this time when this show was broadcast, Jiang Hudong had temporarily withdrawn from the showbiz because of tax evasion, and Lee Seung-gi also unloaded the hosting of "Strong Heart" because he wanted to shoot a TV series, and was replaced by a combination of Shin Dongye and Lee Dong-wook.

And now, because of the influence of Li Jingyuan's butterfly, Jiang Hudong's tax evasion problem has been solved long before it happens, and Lee Shengji has not simply given up hosting because he wants to shoot a TV series under Jiang Hudong's strong request, so the current MC of "Strong Heart" is still Jiang Hudong and Lee Shengji.

Since he has a fixed position in the ace variety show, Li Jingyuan has rarely participated in other shows as a guest. Occasionally, there will be one or two attendances, depending on Li Jingyuan's mood.

And this time, the reason why Li Jingyuan took the initiative to think of starring in "Strong Heart" was also because Jiang Hudong had invited him more than once before. If Shin Dongye and Lee Dong-wook were replaced as MCs as in history, then Li Jingyuan's thoughts would definitely be different.

Speaking of which, the relationship between Li Jingyuan and Shen Dongye is actually not very good.

As early as when Li Jingyuan first entered this circle, his relationship with Shen Dongye was okay. However, after learning that Shin Dongye is a shareholder of a brokerage company, and this company is precisely the company that owed Yoo Jae-seok's salary and caused Jiang Hudong's tax evasion incident, Li Jingyuan has no good impression of Shin Dongye.

Others don't know Lu Dao, but Li Jingyuan, who is a shareholder of S.m Company, can he still not know Lu Dao? As a shareholder of the company, Shen Dongye must know about the fact that Liu Jae-seok was owed wages and some relevant inside stories about Jiang Hudong's tax evasion incident. As a colleague of Liu Zaishi and Jiang Hudong, and even a good friend, Shen Dongye did not help Liu Zaishi and Jiang Hudong in those two things, which is what Li Jingyuan looks down on the most. Or, if you think about it darker, among the two things, maybe there is a responsibility of Shen Dongye, and it is not necessarily.

As for Li Dongxu, it is purely unpleasant. Before crossing over, Lee Kyung-won had watched the TV series "Violent Romance", and in that TV series, Lee Dong-wook, who played the male lead, had a kiss scene with Jessica, who played the heroine. At that time, as a Sone, Li Jingyuan was already quite envious and jealous of Li Dongxu, and after the crossing, Jessica became Li Jingyuan's girlfriend, which made him even more unpleasant to Li Dongxu, who once took away Jessica's first kiss on the screen.

If Shin Dong-yeol and Lee Dong-wook were the MCs, Lee Kyung-won would definitely not have thought of participating in "Strong Heart". And the current situation is that the MCs of "Strong Heart" are still Jiang Hudong and Lee Seung-gi, so Li Jingyuan naturally doesn't have so many ideas.

Or rather. In order to cheer for Jiang Hudong, the big brother, Li Jingyuan will work harder.

In the end, Li Jingyuan's decision was that not only did he want to go to the show, but he was even going to bring a few friends he knew well.

"Kids, I'll go to Strong Heart in a few days, and which of you will go with me then?" If a popular figure like Lee Kyung-won asks 'I want to bring someone with me'. There will be no objections from the program team at all, and they will definitely directly hand over the right to choose people to Li Jingyuan. However, taking into account the wishes of the girls themselves. Li Jingyuan still asked the girls for their opinions at home before determining the candidates from the program team.

"Strong Heart? I'm not going~. Yun'a, who was eating vigorously with a bag of snacks in her hand, was the first to hear Li Jingyuan's inquiry, and after pouting, she refused the invitation first.

"For what?" In the memories before the crossing. Lee Kyung-won remembers that Yuna has participated in "Strong Heart" several times. And after the crossing, he also saw the words 'Yun'er, strong heart' on the itinerary board at home more than once. In Li Jingyuan's opinion, Yun'er has never resisted participating in the filming of "Strong Heart" in the past, so why would she refuse so simply this time?

"It's not a good thing you did OPA~~!" Glancing at Li Jingyuan, Yun'er complained angrily.

"What did I do? What did I do? "Thinking that I had just come back from the Olympics, and I hadn't seen Yuna for a long time, I couldn't have had the opportunity to 'make mistakes'. Li Jingyuan became more and more confused.

"I know the way, I know the way, OPPA. Do you remember when you took us to Yingde to play once before you entered the training camp? Yun'er herself was a little embarrassed to say it in detail, Li Jingyuan couldn't figure out the situation, seeing this situation, Xiao Yangyang, who heard the conversation between the two on the side, raised his hand very enthusiastically and began to explain the joints.

"Yes, yes."

"Just remember, hehe, it was during that trip that Yuna was targeted."

"I know the truth, too. OPPA, you still don't know the way, do you? In the months when you went to participate in the training camp, Yuna was very enthusiastically pursued by Shengji OPPA~. "Little Sun mentioned the keyword 'Yingde', and the other girls also remembered it. It is the nature of girls to love gossip, so the little T on the side also hurriedly joined in the fun.

In the time and space before Lee Kyung-won traveled, Lee Seung-gi and Yuna started dating in July and August 2013. Of course, this is the official explanation made by the company after the two were captured, and in fact, the real time when the two started dating may be a little earlier.

However, even if it was earlier, it wouldn't have started dating as early as April 2012. The time point that Xiao T said was too different from the time point in Li Jingyuan's memory, and when he was surprised, Li Jingyuan couldn't help but show a surprised expression: "Brother Shengji? Strongly pursuing Yoona? Really? Tell me about it~. ”

"Speaking of which, OPPA, you don't seem to have Katsuki OPPA romance~! You don't know what to do, some time ago, we Yun'er would receive flowers almost every day....... Speaking of these things, Xiao T seems to be a different person, and the Korean language, which is always stuck, is as smooth as an announcer.

"Isn't that good? What ...... for the cause. ”

"What? Is that okay? OPPA, don't you know that my least favorite thing is a man who is not crisp enough? ”

"It's just that when we watch TV, we say that when we really want to pick a boyfriend, we won't be so stupid." Yun'er's words were approved by several girls, especially Xiaoyuan, who usually likes to watch soap operas the most, and what he said was the most domineering.

"That~, Yun'er, are you afraid that you will be too embarrassed after meeting Brother Shengji, so you don't want to participate in "Strong Heart"?"

"Not exactly. Mainly because of Hudong OPPA. If it weren't enough for Katsuki OPPA, I'm sure he wouldn't have the guts to do anything to me during the shoot, but with Hudong OPPA on the side, it's different. You also know that OPPA likes to be a matchmaker the most and pulls the red line, as long as he sees me and Seungji OPPA present, he will definitely bring the two of us together. ”

Yun'er was right, after a little imagination, Li Jingyuan's mind was specific enough, and he also felt that Jiang Hudong would not let go of Yun'er and Lee Seung-gi, the pair of scandal objects.

"Well, it's up to you if you want to go. En~~, Xiuyan, you can go with me. Also, Shun-kyu, you can come with me. ”

"I'm going too?" Since Li Jingyuan has spoken, Xiao Sun can only do it. However, in the end, such an idea still conflicts with Xiao Sun's original attitude of wanting to be lazy, and she is still a little depressed. If you are not happy, you must find an unlucky ghost to accompany you, and as soon as her eyes rolled, Xiaoyang hugged Xu Xian, who happened to stay by her side: "Boss, you can go with me too~~!"
