On the 5th, three days after EXO’s comeback, TWICE announced its comeback, and two strong South Korean boy and girl groups collided.

There was no big battle scene like Mars hitting the Earth, and no one expected the unexpected harmony between fans on both sides.

Everyone was just quietly brushing the charts and promoting the products without causing any conflicts or chaos. Even if they happened to confront each other, both sides would quickly reconcile. They were not like Korean fans at all.

But it's normal. Boy groups and girl groups are not direct rivals, and they have different resources.

People are more accustomed to boy groups viewing other boy groups as rivals, and girl groups viewing other girl groups as rivals. In other words, the boy and girl groups that are about to return next will be the focus of EXO fans and TWICE fans.

On the boy group side, WANNA ONE, Hightlight, WINNER and other boy groups will appear one after another later, and they are all powerful opponents that should not be taken lightly.

As for the girl groups, Shorty King returned a week ago. The impact of the limited group has brought about certain changes in the market structure of girl groups. No one can ignore them.

But apart from the Dwarf King, Rabbit Gas doesn't seem to have any direct opponent.

Several other girl groups returned right after TWICE, including Gugudan, lovelyz, and EXID, but they are generally not regarded as rivals because their fan base strength and company resources are not at the same level.

What TWICE fans need to be nervous about is MAMAMOO, who can pose a clear threat in all aspects, but they will only return in the last two days of November.

According to the new rules of the music show, MAMAMOO's capable opponents will not qualify for the first place until December, so there is naturally no need to be nervous.

A month is enough time to get what you deserve. If you can't get it, it's your own fault and you can't blame your opponent.

Red Velvet was selectively ignored by Tuwas's fans, and no one wanted to mention them. It was true that the two sides were evenly matched opponents, but Red Velvet used works made by Chen Chen himself, and there was a difference in the quality of their weapons. If a fight really broke out, they would be at a disadvantage, so naturally they didn't want to mention it, nor did they want to cause trouble.

"So the next ones to come are the men's group Meat Grinder and the women's group Hundred Flowers Exhibition?"

Chen Chen thought about it and felt a little excited, as there were many new things to see.

The year-end activities in December are exciting in themselves, and the collective return of multiple groups in November is equally outstanding. Such a program is simply a feast for C headquarters, which cannot participate in anything, and it is the ultimate enjoyment.

"Don't be so happy. You have a lot of award ceremonies to attend at the end of the year." Shirley pulled Chen Chen back from his excitement with one sentence. "All the award ceremonies of the three major TV stations have invited you. I don't think you will refuse, right?"

"Well, I can't refuse." Chen Chen replied: "When I was hiding under the wings of the soy sauce bottle before, I could find a few reasons to avoid it. Now it's my turn to accumulate favors and expand the territory for C headquarters. There is no room for refusal."

"OK, I'll take them all for you then." Shirley ticked the boxes on the record while reporting to Chen Chen, "There are six acting and entertainment awards from the three major TV stations at the end of the year, and then there are two more from the South Korean Golden Disc Awards and Seoul Music Awards in January next year."

"There are currently eight people confirmed to be award presenters or winners. I think you will also go to the Hundred Flowers Awards for TV, but it's still early, so we'll talk about it when the time comes."

"Eight award ceremonies in a little over two weeks, the schedule is pretty easy." Shirley transferred the completed form to Chen Chen's phone, "Social engagements. I don't need to worry about you, right?"

"What do you mean by a relatively easy schedule?" Chen Chen could only smile bitterly, "I think most artists are not as busy as I am!"

"Artists are still busier than you. They have to prepare programs, not just read scripts like you do." Shirley handed over a document, "This is the script you will use at MGA tonight. Don't make any mistakes in your speech."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not have any problems in this kind of occasion." Chen Chen took the speech, "But did they say who will be my award presenter?" "It seems to be a few big YouTube hosts." Shirley also turned over the name, "I don't know them very well, see if you know them."

"Anchor, a YouTube anchor?" Chen Chen was immediately unhappy. "No matter how big it is, it can't be as big as my C headquarters. Are you looking down on me by doing this?!"

"Maybe they are using the Chinese Tian Ji horse racing tactic." Shirley thought of an interesting possibility and laughed. "There is no one in the audience with a higher status than you, so just give the award to the person with the lowest status. This is also a tactic!"

"If you say so, I will accept it." Chen Chen put the speech manuscript in his hand aside, "But I won't use this one. It's too formal and seems a bit humble. Genie Music is not worthy of me lowering my attitude so much."

"That's right. They just organized this MGA this year and it's a great honor for you to go. They can't make demands on your attitude anymore." Shirley suddenly glanced at Chen Chen. "You're the same. There's no artist in the entire company who can go up and accept the award for you. This is really annoying."

"It will be next year, no rush." ​​Chen Chen said nonchalantly, "I will definitely not appear at any award ceremony at this time next year, unless it is the top honor with world-wide influence."

"By the way, how are you going there today?" Shirley asked.

"Anan is driving." Chen Chen waved his hand casually. "Soy Sauce Bottle begged me to give him face before going. Isn't it reasonable for them to provide the car?"

……

"Long time no see, Brother Chen, your car has been upgraded, come with me."

Lin Nanyi waited for a long time at the entrance of the Soy Sauce Bottle underground garage, fearing that Chen Chen would not be able to find which car to take.

"Which one?" Chen Chen followed Lin Nanyi and his face was full of disbelief when he arrived in front of the car. "Did Soy Sauce Bottle make a fortune? He actually gave me such an expensive luxury car as a ride!"

"It's not yours." Lin Nanyi was a little embarrassed. "When you need it, you will be given priority. Normally, everyone will use it."

"Oh, I see. The company's assets bought some things at this time in order to pay less tax." Chen Chen got into the car, "Hehe, then I won't be polite."

"Shall we set off?" Lin Nan turned around and asked as soon as he started the car, "Brother Chen, is there anyone else you need to wait for?"

"No, go ahead."

Chen Chen was sitting in the back seat, carefully feeling the comfort of the car, not caring about anything else.

After the car had been running for a while, Chen Chen suddenly said, "Anan, fill up the reservations for this car. When anyone wants to use it, just tell them that they want to use it."

Lin Nan's whole body trembled, and his hands holding the steering wheel almost shook.

"Brother Chen." Lin Nanyi said nervously, "Are you going to take the car for yourself?"

"How can you claim something that follows normal procedures as your own?" Chen Chen reminded him seriously, "Don't talk nonsense! If you say something wrong, you will pay the price."
