Chapter 118: Yuan!

At the end of the last episode of "Infinite Challenge", it was predicted that the next episode would be "Song Festival" after two years, and it had already caused a lot of repercussions on the Internet after the show was broadcast.

Although the previous ending predicted that this issue was a ballad festival, it was not said who the guests were, and the guests in several clips were also wearing masks, making it impossible to figure out everyone's identity.

What interests the audience the most in each issue of the Song Festival is the lineup of guests and the songs that MC and guests work on, so in many forums on the Internet these days, there have been many loyal fans of "Infinite Challenge" who will be invited to this year's Song Festival, and many familiar names have been mentioned.

"Let Yoon Jong-shin participate, I really want to see him! I want to laugh when I see that face. ”

"IU!iu!IU!IU!No song festival is complete without IU, so I must see IU this year!"

"GD probably won't come this time, it's been here several times. However, I still hope to continue to participate, because the previous songs are very good, and BIGBANG is very popular now. ”

"Will there be an exo?,The hottest thing right now is EXO."

"Probably not.,Although XO is really popular, it's exaggerated.,But the song festival needs guests and MC to co-create.,XO,The only one who is more famous in this regard should be Yuan.,But I don't think Yuan will come to participate......"

In addition to some veteran musicians, including Girls' Generation, GD who has participated in several episodes, and even IU and EXO, the most popular idols at the moment have been mentioned, even if many of them are endless speculations, but they still make many audiences happy, and the popularity of the past week has also increased.

Even though "Infinite Challenge" has experienced some turmoil recently, the ratings have not increased significantly after joining the new MC and there is a downward trend, but the ace program as MBC cannot even guarantee the top four ratings in the same period.

The recent ratings have been hovering back and forth between 12 percent and 13 percent, and they can't go down, but they can't go up, far from the nearly 30 percent ratings of the 'Tutu Song' special at the beginning of the year.

But the brand of the song festival is still very shiny, after watching the trailer in the last issue, the episode on July 4 has just started broadcasting, although the average has not yet been counted, but the real-time ratings calculated by the background immediately rose by nearly 50%.

And that's just the beginning.

Cha Seung-won turned on the TV on time at this time and switched to MBC's channel.

As an ordinary flight group, he is an old viewer of "Infinite Challenge", but he doesn't watch it on time every time, and he is generally only interested in some specials, because the few episodes after changing the MC are more boring, so he hasn't broadcast much live recently, and he will make up the replay video when he is free afterwards.

He didn't watch the last issue, but then he saw the news that the next issue was the biennial song festival special of "Infinite Challenge" on the Internet, and he immediately became interested, so he watched the live broadcast at home on time today.

"Infinite Challenge!"

"Next up, in 2015, the Infinite Challenge Song Festival!"

"Oh oh oh ......"

A few MCs took the stage, made a few physical jokes, took off the masks on their faces, and shouted the slogan of the show in their poss, officially announcing the start of the show.

After playing the VCR of the previous years' ballad festival review, MC Yoo Jae-seok officially announced the appearance of the guests with the theme of 'Masked Ball' today.

In the midst of the passionate music, under the expectant eyes of everyone, the three special judges walked out of the screen door with a spring breeze on their faces, and they were greeted with a speechless sigh:

"Well, it's you again."

The three who served as special judges, Yoo Hee-yeol, Yoon Jong-shin and Lee Di, are all powerful musicians who have been guests at the ballad festival, and at the same time, because they are often active in variety shows, they are also very good at making jokes, and they are indeed very determined in the eyes of everyone, and they waved to the camera very stylishly.

After a burst of laughter, Yoo Jae-seok carefully introduced the three special judges, and then began to officially enter the guest appearance session of the 'Masquerade Ball'.

Park Jin-young, who was the first to appear, was recognized at that stop, followed by all kinds of merciless jokes and sarcasm:

"Is it really okay for the company representative to come out casually like this?"

"The next guest won't be Brother Li Xiuman, right?"

"Are you here to select me? But I'm not interested in him, I'm not going anywhere except SM! β€œ

Finally, it seemed that it was Hwang Kwang-hee's sentence that Park Jin-young couldn't help but take off the hood.

"Wow, jyp!

”

Immediately, the audience cheered, giving Park Zhenying enough face.

As the first guest to appear, whether it is the identity of a musician and singer, or the identity of the president of JYP Company, Park Jin-young's fame and status are all there, and his appearance seems to have set the tone for the guest lineup at once, and at the same time, it seems to highlight the difference between this year's song festival and previous ones.

The next few guests, IU, Yin Shang, and the Hyukoh band appeared in turn, and each guest's appearance would cause a burst of discussion among the audience, either excited or frustrated.

Among them, indie bands such as Hyukoh may be popular in their own small circles, but they are not as well-known as the public, and not many people know their names, and some viewers will naturally be a little disappointed when they see them and don't know who they are.

However, IU's appearance surprised many people, although there was a lot of negative news in the past few years, and the scandal of 12 years made many people have fun at that time, and the reputation became very bad for a while.

But with the albums released in the past two years becoming more and more successful one by one, she can now be regarded as the most popular solo female singer on the peninsula.

The image is also getting better and better, except for the black fans who really hate her from the bottom of their hearts, as well as all SJ fans, there are few people who mention the previous negative news anymore.

After all, it's not illegal, artists, or singers, still have to rely on songs and works to speak, and the people of the peninsula have a high tolerance for artists with outstanding strength and talent.

Otherwise, BIGBANG would have disbanded long ago.

The appearance of IU has greatly improved the situation of Zio and the faint starlight caused by the appearance of Hyukoh, and many viewers are extremely satisfied, and at the same time, they immediately identified IU as the popularity of the "Infinite Challenge" program team specially invited this time, and felt that this time the ballad festival was half stable in terms of popularity and topics.

Until the last guest appears.

"The last guest, 'The Cat with a Hungry Head', sang the track 'If' by Taeyeon, and it is said that he also made some of his own adaptations......"

With Yoo Jae-shi's gracious and exaggerated introduction, all the audience cheered up and watched the last guest on the stage with great interest.

Although the order of the guests' appearances this time is not arranged according to popularity, or seniority, in any case, the last person to appear always has his own halo, and it seems to be a little higher than the previous one in terms of importance and attraction to the audience.

It's just that before I could expect two seconds, the accompaniment of "If", which makes people reminisce, just began, and immediately began to be speechless.

"If I get close."

"Ah......h

The guest on the stage only sang two sentences and then looked like he had forgotten the words, and began to 'ahhhh

A song that is so lyrical and timeless, and the singer obviously seems to be so serious and dedicated, but the performance of forgetting the words throughout the whole process made the audience and the judges can't help but laugh out loud.

】

"It's kind of like Hyo-ri."

"How is it possible, this height must be a man."

"It can't be rain, right?"

"XO, perhaps?"

The judges' random speculation one by one, although there is no margin and logic at all, and even Lee Hyori's name can be mentioned, but through various editing and contrasting comparisons on the stage, it still makes all the audience have strong interest and expectations.

In particular, IU seems to have only listened to two sentences, as if he had guessed the identity of this guest, which made many people wonder.

After the end of the stage of "If", which has been carefully adapted and Kim Taeyeon has to like and support, a group of people who know who the guests are early in the morning have to guess, and they have no reliable names after guessing for a long time.

Just when the curiosity of all the audience has been pulled to the peak by various suspense and editing, this last guest to appear on the stage finally pulled down the mask on his face under the command of Liu Zaishi.

In the close-up close-up, I saw him lower his head, and forcefully took off the stupid big-faced cat hood, the black hair was turned up by the tightened mask, and after falling back on, it was a little messy and sprinkled on the front of his forehead, he hung his head and shook it vigorously, and then raised his head to look at the camera, pursed his lips, and squeezed out a smile a little reluctantly.

And when recognizing the familiar face of one of the hottest artists who has often appeared on TV and the Internet recently, many viewers and fans in front of the TV set lit up their eyes and immediately exclaimed:

β€œomo! yuan? ”

"Chi Jingyuan?"

"Ahhhh
