JYP. He also made an appointment with her to meet briefly in the car, giving her a chance to give away whatever Christmas present she had prepared.It's been quite a while since I last saw Tzuyu.Just..."Ah, EXO is here! EXO is here! EXO!!"

"Oh, Yuan Oppa, look at me, I'm here! Yuan Oppa, look at me! I love you…"

"Ah ah, Luhan say hi!"

"EXO is the best, Fighting!"

"AAAAAAA......"

As EXO stepped out of the airport, the fans who had been waiting for them erupted in a frenzy of cheers. The sound instantly filled the surrounding space, pulling the entire area into a world that belonged only to 'EXO'.

Fans were shouting their idol's name, so excited they couldn't contain themselves. Some, perhaps too overwhelmed with emotion, could only manage incoherent screams instead of complete words.

The members weren't heavily made up, all wearing masks. Under the guidance of their manager, they stood in a line and bowed neatly to all the waiting fans. After waving for a long time, they finally got into the car and left. Leaving the satisfied fans gazing at the receding car for a long time before gradually dispersing.

"After returning to the hotel, we rested and did our own things."

The main manager, Lee Seung-hwan, stood in front of the car and instructed all the members: "It's best not to run around. Just rest inside the hotel. If you go out, be sure to report to me."

"Recently, many celebrities have come to Hong Kong Island, so there are a lot of paparazzi. A few years ago, Girls' Generation was photographed by them as well. If you were photographed doing something bad, it could cause trouble for your company."

“That’s all.”

Members should respond.

They are still in a pretty excited state. Besides the fan meet-and-greet satisfying many people's sense of honor and vanity, the distinctive architecture of Hong Kong Island along the way and the skyscrapers in the distance also attracted a lot of attention.

Most members have never been here before, so it's quite novel to them.

If it weren't for the presence of an agent watching, I bet some people would have slipped out already.

The awards ceremony will officially begin tomorrow night, and we'll have to get up very early to prepare because it will be broadcast live throughout. We'll rehearse two or three times before the event, starting in the morning.

Lee Seung-hwang looked at the schedule in his hand and said again, finally raising his head to add: "It's best to just eat lightly these two days, don't eat too much, especially tomorrow, don't let yourself look fat and bloated on camera. Wait until after the ceremony is over before you have a good meal."

"That's it."

"We can talk about the rest at the hotel." Lee Seong-hwan nodded and sat down in the seat ahead.

** company booked a rather high-end hotel for EXO. It's not far from the venue, Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, which also reflects the grand style of a big company.

Several artist groups from the same company stayed at the same hotel, including SJ, SHINee, and F(x).

These are all senior groups who have debuted for several years. The manager's management of them must be a lot looser than EXO's. After arriving at the hotel, Ji-seong saw several SJ members going out together and didn't know where they were going to go. He hasn't seen the other group members yet.

"Well, this place is really nice."

At the hotel's restaurant, Chi Jingyuan and several members sat there, each ordering drinks and some snacks to tide them over. They looked out at the cityscape beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, chatting contentedly with relaxed moods.

"I heard that there are many famous foods on Hong Kong Island. I really want to try them." Do Kyung-soo looked at the snacks in front of him, somewhat enviously watching out the window.

"Me too." Chi Jingyuan took a sip of his drink and nodded in agreement.

"Let's just wait until the ceremony is over. For better pictures, we can only suffer for these two days." Kim Jun-myeon sighed.

"Gee's seniors aren't here this time." Park Chan-yeol asked, remembering something.

"Inside, there's not much hope of winning a grand prize, so he just rested at home." Ji Jingyuan nodded in agreement.

Although Girls' Generation is very popular, they didn't have a formal comeback on the peninsula for the entire year of 2012. Their last comeback album was "The Boys" which was released in October of last year, over a year ago.

This year, their activities are focused on Japan. Aside from participating in some variety shows and TV dramas on the peninsula, they also launched the sub-unit TTS.

The chances of winning a "return to nature" award are slim. For Girls' Generation's popularity, participating in these awards is unnecessary. Not winning one of the three major awards would be considered a failure and would lead to ridicule from fans of other groups, especially since this year's competition is particularly fierce.

Besides the clashes between BIGBANG and SJ, this year's breakout star PSY is sure to reap a harvest of awards at the award ceremonies thanks to his hit song "Gangnam Style".

Girls' Generation and some others didn't come because they didn't feel they had any special advantages compared to the rest, and hadn't received any advance notice of winning from the organizers.

After MAMA was officially renamed in 2009, it wasn't particularly popular for the first few years and encountered several problems.

Besides the previous conflict between organizer M and ** company leading to a mutual ban, there was also a clash in the past two years due to the live broadcast time conflicting with SBS's "Inkigayo". This resulted in a large number of invited artists not being able to attend the event, making it a subject of ridicule and laughter among the public.

However, with the organizers' efforts over the years, MAMA's popularity and audience reach have also been steadily increasing, and the heat of each event has become higher and higher, attracting a lot of attention. This year, it can be said to be one of the most important award ceremonies at the end of the year in the peninsula music industry.

Although its weight isn't the highest, falling short of the Seoul Music Awards and Golden Disc Awards, which are considered more fair and authoritative, it's still just a step behind them. Its grand prize is still very significant.

These three, plus MMA, are collectively known in the peninsula as the four major award ceremonies in the music industry.

But MAMA has always been plagued by scandals about giving out pork belly. For some invited artists, coming will get them a participation award, but not coming won't. The awards are also given very flexibly.

Every time it ends, there will be a lot of arguing among people, feeling that the awards are not fair and there is a black box behind it. This can also be considered one of its biggest features.

After a few members finished talking about Girls' Generation, they chatted about some other female groups who were also attending the awards ceremony and then went back to their rooms to do their own thing.

The next morning, EXO got up and went to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, the venue for the event. Backstage, they prepared and waited for rehearsals.

Today we might have to run through several rehearsals, the schedule is pretty tight. Every artist and staff member also looks very busy.

By around nine thirty in the morning, EXO had their first rehearsal on stage. They rehearsed the main song plus several special stages for different versions, and it was very successful with no major issues.

They have practiced for a long time, and if nothing else goes wrong, their stage performance is generally smooth.

However, when everyone was catching their breath back in the rehearsal room, waiting for the next run-through, Ji Jingyuan took the program schedule given by the organizer and frowned. He carefully looked it over and then approached Li Chenghuan next to him:

"Brother Cheng Huan, look at this program's schedule, there's simply not enough time."

First published on the Chinese Novel Networkr appearance and her personal qualities, as well as her audience appeal, she was excellent. He believed Park Jin-young must have already seen it too, but there was no guarantee she would make it to th...
