After much thought Eason Chan finally said yes to presenting, along with fellow Golden Melody Artist Award winner A-Mei Chang (張惠妹), the Best Male Mandarin Artist Award at this year's Taiwan Golden Melody Awards Ceremony. As a nominee for the award himself, Eason might be presenting the award to himself.
According to a report by NOWnews (東森新聞), Eason's album Admit It earned him a nomination in the Best Male Mandarin Artist category. A month earlier, ceremony organizer Hou Wen Yan (侯文燕) had already requested for Eason to be a presenter but many problems arose and it was never finalized. Eason misinterpreted that he was invited to be a performer and with filming on schedule and promotion of his new release Don't Want To Let Go, Eason rejected the invitation because he did not feel he would have time to rehearse for the show. After confirmation that it was an invitation for presentation and not performance Eason accepted the invitation but felt he did not qualify to present. Coordinators explained to him that it is Golden Melody tradition to invite former Golden Melody winners to be presenters which gave him reassurance.
A-Mei expressed that when she found out she was presenting with Eason she became excited and is looking forward to the presentation. As for the possibility that Eason will be presenting the award to the winner, not being himself, and the awkwardness he expresses that it is not a problem and he will be happy.
