The last day of July
When Yoon Hyun returned home and was tidying up, he only then noticed the neck pillow that had been around his neck all along, which he hadn't used at all during the trip. The stain on it was probably Cham Eun's dried-up drool from when she fell asleep...
Then, Yin Xian's thinking jumped a bit...
While Yun Hyeon and Ham Eun-jeong were filming We Got Married, the time had actually entered the 2009 awards season.
Although Yoon Hyun only had one TV drama this year, plus an MBC semi-variety show, there was no direct achievement in music.
But this did not prevent him from receiving invitations from various TV stations for their year-end song festivals.
First, there was the "GEE" craze at the beginning of the year. Although Girls' Generation undoubtedly benefited the most from it, Yoon Hyun-sung's divine songwriting skills were once again showcased. However, Girls' Generation's third album, which was released soon after, seemed rushed. In reality, all musicians know that it was just producer Yoo Young-jin's attempt to prove himself as the king of the music industry due to his frustration. Although "GENIE" achieved decent results, it still paled in comparison to the brilliance of "GEE".
It's also because of this contrast that the interaction between the company and Yoon Hyun has decreased a lot. Girls' Generation's fourth album, which is currently in production, does not have any intention to ask Yoon Hyun for songs either.
Then Yoon Jong Shin used his own two hands to push student IU to the current top solo female singer position. A mini-album with 6 songs, almost every song has the potential to become a title track. IU also became a must-have guest on major TV stations this year, and Yoon Jong Shin standing behind her is almost an insurmountable mountain.
At the end of the year, once again on a variety show, he wrote a classic duet love song that has been popular for a long time. This song, which has no clear audio source, no original accompaniment, and even the original singer only hummed a few lines in the camera lens, has spread like a virus throughout the entire network, just like "The Cute Song" at the beginning, triggering countless cover song craze.
In addition, each TV station knew that Yoon Hyun would not miss the year-end Gayo Festival, the best platform to promote himself, after learning about his plan to release a new solo album in February next year, so they all invited him without hesitation.
Kim Joo-hyun also bluntly agreed with Yoon Hyun's words.
Plus almost certain wins for KBS's Acting Grand Prize and MBC's Entertainment Grand Prize.
Yoon Hyun returned to the year-end bustle a year after his debut.
Fortunately, because Yoon Hyun's overseas investment is going extremely smoothly now, he doesn't lack money at all, which has reduced a lot of his business trips.
Considering that he will be releasing his own album early next year, Yoon Hyun also readily agreed to the schedule of three TV stations' song festivals.
Singing at the Song Festival is not very tiring, but all sorts of preparations are indeed quite annoying.
Especially this year's song festival performance, Yoon Hyun was not planning to perform alone.
Because all three stations expressed their wishes unanimously, they hope that Yoon Hyun and Ham Eunjung can sing "Some" together on stage.
However, on the CCM side, Ham Eun-jung is not like Yoon Hyun-sang who doesn't have to run business trips, and now she's the most popular member of T-ara, so it's natural that she's busier than ever.
Or is there some other reason?
So Yun Hyun and Ham Eunjung didn't get a chance to practice together even once before the first KBS Gayo Festival...
It's okay, during the recording of "We Got Married", they had already successfully duetted once on the show.
During rehearsals, a simple interactive design was made, and the stage design was completed...
"Nothing happened when you went back to the company, right?" Yun Hyun asked Ham Eunjung during a break in the rehearsal.
"What's wrong, what else could happen?" Ham Eun-jung was a bit puzzled by Yoon Hyun's concern. "Oppa, when did you start caring about me like this?"
"I'm afraid MBC will have a conflict with your company." Yoon Hyun simply explained.
"Nope, it's all good. We're still going to the MBC Song Festival together another day, right?" Hyeon-jeong smiled.
Yoon Hyeon nodded slightly with some relief.
After the dress rehearsal, Yin
Battle Through The Heavens Latest Chapter
Xun didn't even have the chance to say hello or chat with T-ara's girls, Eunjung originally wanted to invite Xun over to sit together but was blocked by their manager...
It seems that CCM really has some opinions about itself... I'll have to ask my sister what's going on another day. Eunjung, who was feeling a bit down, thought to herself. Then, she entrusted Kim Soyeon with the pillow that she had brought over to give to Ham Eun-jung in person and tease her a little, and gave it to T-ara's manager...
In the end, at three music festivals, Yoon Hyun-sang sang a full version of "Some" with Ham Eunjung, while T-ara's new song "BoPeepBoPeep" was drowned out by the crowd singing "GEEGEEGEEGEE".
Apart from the Song Festival, at the KBS Acting Awards, Yoon Hyun successfully defeated veteran actor Son Hyun-joo to win the Best Actor award, second only to the Grand Prize. Meanwhile, "Infinite Challenge" also won the Viewers' Choice for Most Popular Program award at MBC for the second time.
The two awards were won smoothly, and Yoon Hyun naturally had a bright mood, especially the second one, the popularity award from Infinite Challenge, Yoon Hyun was even a little emotional and shed tears when receiving the award.
Liu Zai Shi and others did not know that Yoo Hae Jin had already basically decided to quit the recording of Infinite Challenge, and they all made fun of Yoo Hae Jin because of this. Indeed, for the Infinite Challenge team, the entire MC team has won a big prize together, so this audience-voted popularity award is actually not a big deal except that it reflects the audience's recognition of everyone.
But Yoon Hyun said nothing and gave each of the brothers a tight hug on stage.
Then that night, under the name of a celebration banquet, but actually just a few MCs gathering at a wine table, Yun Hyun, who had been avoiding drinking on the wine table all along, was possessed by the god of wine that night, holding a wine glass and toasting with each brother. Even Liu Zai Shi, who originally insisted on not drinking, was forced to drink a cup by Yun Hyun.
It made everyone feel a bit bewildered and anxious...
"Tomorrow is finally over!" After the party ended, everyone got into their own assistant-driven cars and headed home. Although he had drunk a lot with each person, Yoon Hyun didn't feel much intoxication.
"Tomorrow is nothing, but you still have something today." Agent Kim Soo-yeon said expressionlessly.
"Today? Shouldn't you be going home to sleep?"
"It's already past 12 o'clock, Yoon Hyun-ji." Kim Soo-young corrected Yoon Hyun. "You have a tail to pick up today."
"What tail?"
"MBC has two variety shows."
"Did we get married?" Yoon Hyun suddenly realized, "Is it the last episode?"
"It wasn't explicitly stated, but that's roughly what it sounded like," said Kim Soo-hyun. "They said they hope to finish filming before the end of the year."
"Yeah, it's over and done with, no need to drag it out." Yun Hyun nodded. Although he had chatted with Ham Eunjung for a bit during the rehearsal at the Gayo Festival that day and found out from her that MBC didn't seem to have any major issues with them, Yun Hyun knew that as the production team of "We Got Married", they would definitely have some opinions about CCM's sudden change in filming schedule.
The car fell into silence.
"For the last time, let's do something romantic." Kim Soo-hyun said suddenly.
"Oh? Why?" Yoon Hyun, who had been closing his eyes all along, opened them and looked at Kim Soo-young with a hint of playfulness. Having done the Infinite Challenge for so long and having recorded "We Got Married" several times, this was the first time he heard her comment on his variety show performance...
"No matter how you think about it, from a girl's perspective, the word 'marriage' has special meaning even if it's just hypothetical." Kim Soo-hyun's face was serious, with a hint of subtle sympathy. "Eun-ji and your marriage, which is almost like a farce, should be something that she will think about from time to time, even if it becomes a ridiculous memory in the future."
"So?"
"So, let's leave her with something that won't make her shake her head and sigh."
"You actually care about Enjing so much?"
"Just being a woman makes me feel a little sorry for her."
"Alright, I understand." Yoon Hyun closed his eyes once again.
After returning home, Yoon Hyun didn't sleep for long and got up again.
