Brushing Off Li Ronghao Copyright Dispute to Be Nominated for Golden Melody—Single Yichun Eyes Youngest Chinese Female Singer Crown

The 37th Golden Melody Awards announced its list of nominees yesterday, with 24-year-old Chinese singer Shan Yichun being nominated for Best Mandarin Female Singer. Her work, "Chun Meimei," is also up for Best Mandarin Album, Album of the Year, Best Music Video, and Best Album Producer awards, impressively garnering five nominations in total. This sweep has helped her put behind the grievances of being called out by Li Ronghao recently. Fans praise her as the first 'Post-00s Chinese female singer' to be nominated for Best Female Singer in the history of the Golden Melody Awards. Not only could she become the youngest Chinese female singer to win, but she is also the first Chinese singer in 25 years to be nominated for this award since Na Ying in 1999.

Having gone through the turmoil with Li Ronghao, Shan Yichun is now celebrating her Golden Melody Award nominations. Awards jury chairperson Kay Huang emphasized that the jury's top priority is always the work itself. The key to Shan Yichun's nomination, she said, lies in the high level of integration between her voice and the album's production concept. "Her vocal technique is truly excellent and very precise, and the producer is also highly creative, daring to take risks."

As for the copyright dispute, Kay Huang stated: "She did not include that song in the album. We are judging her work, not her as a person."
