The award ceremony officially kicked off.

The host walked onto the stage in high spirits, greeted the audience and the audience around the world with a smile, and announced the official start of the ceremony.

The first awards were given out, and every time the winner's name was announced, there was a burst of warm cheers and applause.

After rounds of awards were given out, it was finally time to present the "Best Newcomer Award" nominated by Kim So Min.

The conditions for the Grammy Award for Best New Artist are very "weird". It does not require that the singer's first album or first appearance must be within the current year.

Any singer with more than one and less than three official albums can be nominated as a newcomer. To be eligible, one must release an album during the annual Grammy review period.

The host slowly opened the envelope.

Kim So-min held her hands tightly, her heart beating faster. She appeared calm on the surface, but she could not hide her inner anticipation.

The host's eyes rested on the letter for a moment, and then he clearly read out the winner's name - "Somin!"

Instantly, the whole audience burst into warm applause and cheers.

Kim So Min stood up excitedly, hugged Taylor beside her, and then walked onto the stage.

After receiving the trophy from the presenter, Kim So-min stood in front of the microphone and took a deep breath.

She spoke calmly and fluently.

"I am very grateful to the Grammy Awards for giving me this honor. This is a great affirmation of my musical journey. I will continue to work hard to bring more excellent music works to everyone."

After returning to her seat, Kim So-min was still unable to calm down, because there would be a more important award to be announced soon, which was also one of the most important awards she was nominated for, the Album of the Year Award.

In order to ease her nervousness, Taylor and Selena would cover her ears with their lips and whisper a lot of gossip about the singers to her.

An award ceremony is not a stage performance. It's so long that it's impossible for them to sit through it from beginning to end. This is what they usually do when they attend ceremonies.

Someone on the stage is cheating, someone is cheating on their partner, someone is involved in a plagiarism scandal, someone and someone else have a deep conflict...

What’s even more interesting is that a certain couple cheated at the same time.

Kim So-min was incredulous at the dramatic entertainment environment. She opened her eyes wide and asked, "Really?"

Taylor and Selena looked serious and nodded at her.

Selina: “It’s true.”

Kim So-min: “Oh my god… I can’t believe he’s that kind of person.”

Taylor: "People can pretend, stay away from these assholes."

However, gossip is really the best medicine to relieve tension, and it made her feel a lot more relaxed.

Soon, the Album of the Year Award, an important award with extremely high gold content, brought the atmosphere of the ceremony to a climax.

The host walked onto the stage again, holding the envelope that would decide the contestants' fate in his hand. When he read out the candidates' albums and names again, the atmosphere reached its peak.

Kim So-min stared at the stage nervously, straightened her back, and prayed silently in her heart.

Taylor patted her hands, giving her silent comfort.

The host deliberately kept the audience in suspense. He opened the envelope and took a look. His slightly cunning eyes swept over the nervous and expectant crowd in the audience. The atmosphere on the scene seemed to have frozen.

He then smiled and said loudly: "The winner of the Album of the Year Award is——"

"Masquerade, Somin!"

The Grammy Award for Album of the Year is presented by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences to recognize a music album that has outstanding artistic achievement, fine production standards, and outstanding contributions to the recording industry within a given year.

Of course, this award is not solely based on the sales or chart performance of the music album.

Among the popular albums that came out this year, besides Taylor's work, there is Kim So Min's "Masquerade" and some rap albums.

Although Taylor's album performed well, it was released late, which was a disadvantage in terms of release timing.

After Taylor, the most popular song among music critics is Kim So Min's "Masquerade".

Her albums are an exquisite fusion of art and pop, with novel and unique melodies, leading to a unique and mysterious trend.

Whether judged from an artistic or professional perspective, her album has undoubtedly reached the highest level.

Over the years, the Grammy Awards have been criticized for having many shortcomings in terms of gender and race, and many people in the music industry have always blasted the Grammys for being too "conservative and racist."

There were 84 Grammy awards this year, and only 10 went to women.

Until now tonight, the other nine people have received awards of low value, and only Kim So-min won the prestigious "Best Newcomer Award" in the general category.

They awarded the final grand prize trophy to Kim So Min, which was not only due to the excellence of the album but also a somewhat safe decision.

When she heard her own name, Kim So-min was so surprised that she subconsciously covered her mouth. Even though she was as calm as she was, she could not hide the tears of excitement in her eyes.

At the same time, Taylor and Selena also stood up excitedly, and the two girls hugged her tightly.

Taylor excitedly shouted, "You did it!"

That’s right, Kim So Min did it – she became the first Asian to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year!

The beautiful face of the Asian girl appeared on the big screen and was forwarded to the world, and the audience burst into deafening applause and cheers.

Kim So Min stood up, hugged Taylor and Selena again, straightened her back, and walked onto the stage with calm steps.

The moment she received the trophy, she stroked it and gave a brief and sincere acceptance speech.

"Thank you to the Grammys for giving me this honor. This is a great encouragement for my musical journey. I want to thank my team, my family, my friends, and my fans for their continued support. It is you who have kept me going until today..."

Kim So-min clenched the heavy trophy in her hands.

Before this year's Grammy Awards, the chairman of the Grammy Awards once said: "Women must take the initiative to succeed."

Kim So-min was extremely disgusted by this statement - it was simply a denial of the achievements of all women.

She said: "I once said that I wanted to be a singer because of Taylor. She is my idol and she also made me see the power of women. Now I am standing here like her."

"I believe that in the future, more women will stand on this stage and win more awards."

Taylor smiled brightly and gestured to her in praise.

Kim So Min's smile was equally bright, melting the coldness brought by her dress and appearance.

"Well, now I can interact with my friends more openly."

"I know a lot of people hate me." She held up the trophy, showing the world her glory and achievements, with a swaggering smile on her lips, "It's a pity that I'm the one standing here now."

Asian adults also act like minors. She doesn't dress like a child, but she looks very dazzling with her high-spirited look.

Such frankness made Taylor and Selena extremely happy for her.

The audience laughed and applauded her.

【Somin——The first Asian to win two Grammy Awards. 】

Her hot searches made headlines in major media around the world, and marketing accounts and self-media tirelessly introduced her brilliant life experience to the public.

For several months after Kim So-min won the award, Lee Soo-man always smiled at everyone he met.

Because of her popularity, Kim So-min stayed in the United States for a longer period of time.

Shooting for magazines, commercials, participating in radio shows, and participating in promotional programs for Marvel movies...

She was very busy and even missed Red Velvet's new album.

On March 3, Dream Group returned and released their new song "GO", starting their promotional stage.

On March 3, Kim So Min's fans cheered for her on a large scale at landmarks around the world, and also posted about the charity projects done by fans.

Kim So Min donated to charity in her own name and in the name of her fans.

Because the amount was relatively large, she let the team behind her run the charity independently.

Running a charity can reasonably avoid taxes. The money she donated is real money, and her own organization can also prevent the donated money from being embezzled by others.

On March 3, Red Velvet released the re-release of her second full-length album, "The Perfect Red Velvet".

Kim So Min participates in audio sources and MVs, but does not participate in promotions.

On April 4, Kim So-min recovered and gained some weight at her mother's place. After attending the premiere of Avengers 15, she returned to the peninsula.

Avengers 3 officially started pre-sales. As soon as the pre-sales started, it made a huge amount of money. The terrifying box office sales became a large money printing machine for Marvel.

When she returned to Peninsula Airport, Kim So-min received unprecedented treatment.

Not only did tens of thousands of fans and passers-by come to greet her at the airport, but all major media outlets also came. The sight of everyone following her movement was quite spectacular.

As the moon waxes, it wanes; as the water brims, it overflows. Compared to before, Kim So-min is more low-key. At the same time, she has also begun to actively participate in various charity activities.

Faced with overwhelming media interviews and numerous event invitations, she always keeps a clear head.

Especially the invitations from the prince and princess of XX country and the president of the peninsula, she was very touched and rejected them immediately.

Is she some rare protected animal? Does anyone want to see her? It's even more outrageous to want to pay to see her.

There are so many Grammy Award winners.

There are so many Hollywood superstars.

I haven't seen her going anywhere every day or meeting people from everywhere. What do you think of her?

Kim So-min only chose to be interviewed by a few TV stations with which she had the closest interests, and then completely became a otaku, locking herself at home to study and write songs.

The other Grammy nominees have diverse musical styles, with many novel songs and melodies, which have given her a lot of inspiration. She must constantly broaden her musical horizons.

Her next goal is to create more charming works.
