Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion Chapter 453 - 377: End and Beginning

The 27th MTV Video Music Awards ceremony concluded.

Lady Gaga, with 13 nominations and 7 wins, beca the biggest winner of the MTV Awards this year.

Link, with 11 nominations and 1 win, despite winning the prestigious Video of the Year Award, was still considered the biggest loser because, before the ceremony, the dia had predicted he would win at least four awards and share the spotlight with Lady Gaga, which he did not.

Eminem, with the motivational song "Not Afraid", won the Best Male Video Award and Best Rap Video Award, making him the second biggest winner of the MTV Awards this year.

Artists under Link Music secured 3 wins out of 19 nominations, specifically Video of the Year, Justin Bieber's Best New Artist, and Lana Del Ray's Best Art Direction for the "young and beautiful" MV.

Afterwards, the dia summarized the biggest highlights of the MTV Awards into three points.

The first was Lady Gaga changing into eight different dresses and makeup looks on stage, each more extravagant than the last.

The second was MTV's arrangent to seat Link and Taylor, forr lovers, together, where the live broadcast often focused the cara on them for a total of 12 minutes, making them the most fild guests who did not perform on stage.

The third was the outco of the awards that night, with Lady Gaga winning 7 out of 13 nominations, and Link, intended to rival her, won only 1 out of 11, leading to a crushing victory for Lady Gaga.

However, many fans voiced their discontent for Link afterward.

The songs he was nominated for, including "Legends never die", "See you again", "Girls like you", and "all of ", were all popular hits with high-quality MVs, especially the first two, which were considered legendary.

He ended up with only one award, which was seen as more of a consolation.

Fans generally believed that recent negative news about Link had influenced the MTV judges' opinions of him.

This also sparked discussions amongst professional music dia: should music awards be judged based solely on professional standards or should the artist's character be considered, with those having fewer scandals and better reputations more likely to win?

Choosing purely professional criteria would be more objective and fair, but defining professionalism is difficult and can introduce societal issues.

However, including the assessnt of an artist's character can only reveal their state during a certain period, leading to potential miscarriages of justice.

After Rolling Stone brought up this issue, it sparked a lot of discussion in the music industry, with support for both sides, but no one could provide the best solution.

As for these controversies, Link either ignored them or didn't have ti to care.

After the MTV Awards, he returned to South Korea to resu his concert tour.

He had already held six shows in South Korea, with two remaining, but the tickets sold so well that they were sold out within a few hours every ti they went on sale.

Universal suggested adding two more shows, making it four remaining.

Originally, he thought a two-week hiatus would cool down or distract attention from his scandal with Jun Ji-hyun and other entertainnt news.

But, as soon as his plane landed at Seoul Airport, the Korean dia exploded like gas ignited by a spark, continuously hyping his scandal with Jun Ji-hyun and linking him with other female celebrities.

'"Vanity Fair" rated Link Baker, also known as Mr. Playboy, as the top playboy in the entertainnt circle as he returns to South Korea to continue his tour.' This was a headline added spontaneously by the Seoul Broadcasting System SBS in today's entertainnt news.

Additionally, MBC, KBS, and "Peninsula Daily" along with other major dia outlets also reported on related events.

This resulted in him being imdiately surrounded by many Korean dia reporters as soon as he disembarked from the plane, and during the concerts, paparazzi were always visible.

With too many paparazzi around, the plans he had arranged with Jun Ji-hyun over the phone to have dinner during concert breaks failed to materialize.

Unable to et with Jun Ji-hyun, he temporarily focused his efforts on performing concerts.

He held concerts in four cities: Seoul, Busan, Daegu, and others.

In Seoul, special guests included Girls' Generation, T-ara, and 2AM. The highlight of the show was his performance of the original Korean song "Trouble Maker" with Girls' Generation leader Kim Taeyeon, which was enthusiastically received on site.

Afterwards, not only was Kim Taeyeon rumored to be his girlfriend by the Korean dia, but the other eight mbers of Girls' Generation were also implicated.

"East Asia Daily" claid to have seen soone who resembled Link entering the Girls' Generation dormitory building one night and not leaving until morning.

Of course, that was fake news. Although Link had visited their dormitory, it was only at the invitation of Kim Taeyeon and Jessica Jung to take a tour, and he left after just half an hour, not staying overnight.

During his concert tour in South Korea, he also made two investnts.

The first was in Big Hit Entertainnt.

This company, established in 2005 by the well-known music producer and composer Bang Si-hyuk, primarily engages in music production, album distribution, artist managent, promotion, planning, training, and other related activities.

At the ti, it only had the newly debuted boy group 2AM and the trainee group BTS, ranking it as a second-tier music company in South Korea, far behind SM Entertainnt, JYP Entertainnt, and YG Entertainnt.

After talking with President Bang Si-hyuk, Link invested 2 million US dollars, approximately 2.7 billion Korean Won, acquiring 41% of Big Hit's shares.

He also promised to use Link Music's channels to push Big Hit's boy bands into the United States market in the future.

Secondly, Jun Ji-hyun was preparing to start her own agency to handle her managent affairs after terminating her contract with SidusHQ.
