  • A-Lin, Wang Hung-en, and Sangpuy presented at the 37th Golden Melody Awards, entertaining the audience with their interactions.
  • Sangpuy's team revealed that their on-stage banter was largely improvised, despite having prepared remarks.
  • The presenters' unscripted delivery led to much laughter and unexpected moments during the ceremony.

The 37th Golden Melody Awards recently concluded, with singer A-Lin earning praise for her hosting duties. During the ceremony, A-Lin, alongside Wang Hung-en and Sangpuy, presented an award, and their on-stage interaction proved to be a highlight, eliciting considerable laughter from the audience.

Following the event, Sangpuy's social media team disclosed the behind-the-scenes truth about the presenters' performance. They revealed that while they had received the prepared script from the organizers more than a week in advance and had rehearsed, their on-stage delivery was predominantly improvised. "We looked at it, but we didn't follow it," Sangpuy's team stated, indicating that much of their dialogue was spontaneous.

This unscripted approach meant that over 80% of what was said on stage differed from their rehearsals. The presenters' ability to deviate from the script and engage in natural, witty conversation kept the audience entertained and contributed to the lively atmosphere of the awards ceremony.

Netizens reacted enthusiastically to the revelation, humorously noting that only the teleprompter likely adhered strictly to the script. Comments suggested the teleprompter operator must have faced frustration as the presenters veered off-topic, leaving the prompter to run aimlessly. The dynamic between A-Lin, Wang Hung-en, and Sangpuy demonstrated a successful blend of prepared content and spontaneous performance.

We looked at it, but we didn't follow it.
