Dojae was creating a deeper atmosphere than when they were fighting for first place.

I could no longer think of him as the 'strong man' of old.

"camera."

Only when Yoo Myeong-woo spoke in a low and cold voice did the Origin members' gazes turn straight ahead.

“Okay. Here are the candidates for the ‘Rookie of the Year’ award. I heard that this year’s competition is fiercer than ever.”

As the presenter gave his remarks, the camera showed the three teams standing in the nomination seats.

REGINA had a trembling face and clasped her hands together in a prayerful pose, while The Origin waved his hand and smiled brightly.

The Origin fans immediately erupted in cheers.

The nervous MOST honestly just looked straight at the camera, but to the fans, it seemed cute.

“Wow. They’re really great. They’re all groups that have been loved this year for their professional performances and skills that don’t seem like rookies.”

The presenter continued his comment after examining the screen that was divided into three parts.

“The ‘Rookie of the Year’ award is even more meaningful because it can only be received once as a singer! The winner is determined by reflecting 20% album sales, 20% SNS performance, 30% music source performance, and 30% advance online voting.”

It was a ratio that appropriately reflected the popularity of everyone, including the fandom and the public.

Thanks to this, it was an awards ceremony where there were few differences of opinion about the winner.

Another big difference was that there were no judges' scores, which exist in other award ceremonies.

“Then I will announce it. The ‘Rookie of the Year’ who shone this year is… …!”

The presenter made his announcement with heightened tension.

“Ah. I’m so nervous.”

Louis, who was muttering quietly as if talking to himself, grabbed Dojae's hand next to him.

When I feel nervous, I either put my hand on my heart and clutch my chest, or hold the hand of the person next to me.

Louis was the one who had to grab hold of anything.

Dojae held onto her hand tightly without letting go.

Louis' hands, which had been dancing on stage as if he were wearing winged shoes, were stiff and soaked with sweat.

As if that wasn't enough, Louis also grabbed the hand of Gyuseong, who was standing on his left.

“… … !”

Likewise, Gyuseong, who had been frozen, seemed surprised for a moment, but soon grabbed Louis' hand tightly and they relaxed together.

Woo-cheol, who was next to Gyu-seong, also saw the scene and grabbed Gyu-seong and Heung-min's hands.

In this way, MOST members stood in a line, holding hands, and waited for the results to be announced.

“… Rookie of the Year! Congratulations.”

“… … .”

“MOST!”

The members couldn't even blink properly as if time had stopped.

Although the album sales and voting were both close to those of The Origin, MOST's music performance, which still remains on the charts, was overwhelming.
