Regression Manual for an Idol Who Lost Their Original Intentions Chapter 147
[Training Officer: Guerrilla King, Private Yoon Eden!]
When the scene of me going up on the platform to receive the military instructor hat and certificate appeared, the damn members finally released the blanket that had been tightly binding my upper body.
“Hey, this hat went through this kind of process to be received.”
I brought the instructor hat that had been placed on the shelf in front of the TV, hung it on my finger and spun it around while speaking.
You just threw that hat carelessly into the washing machine and ran it? Huh? You couldn’t even do hand washing with care?
When I looked down crookedly at Seo Yehyeon who was still lying on my thighs, Yehyeon frowned and quickly sat up.
“You’re really holding a grudge over running it through the washing machine once.”
“Hand wash it from now on.”
“I won’t touch it.”
Yehyeon replied bluntly.
“Now I understand why you had such a moved expression as soon as you arrived at the dormitory. You really went through hardships.”
Gyeon Hajun said with a chuckle, seemingly remembering when I had just returned after filming ended.
“Still, hyung, last week and this week were both the best, right? At this rate, won’t a petition go up on the terrestrial broadcasting board asking them to adopt you as a regular member?”
I chuckled at Ryu Jaehee’s cheekiness and ruffled his hair.
“Don’t say such horrible things, Jaehee. The next time I wear that military uniform will be when I turn thirty and get dragged to the real army.”
Like that, I raised a toast with the members for successfully completing the military variety show.
Without knowing how many people had been created who wished for my re-enlistment.

Eden, thank you for not forgetting us
I’m talking about seeing the “Daydream, I love you” that you belatedly attached during rappelling training

It’s fucking funny how calling 2E baby Goyeong decreased after Real Men aired
Of course, anyone can see he’s a ‘man’

I was tired of my boyfriend next to me going on about his military life, so I stopped watching Real Men after the first episode, but this time I personally turned the channel and watched the live broadcast for the first time with no regrets
I strongly recommend a Marine Corps camp as Rev’s self-content

Don’t you want to see military uniform Bambi?

That’s kind of tempting…?

This man… I want to keep seeing how he’d be in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Special Forces, Front Line

[HIT!] New member who received the Guerrilla King title and rose as the next-generation ace! [412]
Anonymous 101, isn’t this the guy who met his friend as an instructor at the training camp lololol
Anonymous 102 But he was really good at it though, made it look so easy that I thought it was simple and asked my boyfriend if he could do that well too, then got such a cold stare ㅠ Apparently that guy is top tier
Anonymous 103 He’s handsome
Anonymous 104 here, this guy was born with a silver spoon lol From meeting his friend as a drill instructor to getting emotional over fried chicken, confessing his true feelings before jumping off then belatedly calling out to his fandom, being proud of his long breath control as a rapper only to immediately repent as soon as he enters the gas chamber lololol
Anonymous 105 It would have been really perfect if he had just cut his hair short before going in… The wig was a bit bothersome
Anonymous 106 ☞Anonymous 105 He couldn’t cut it because of Rev’s comeback preparations, they’re coming back soon
Anonymous 107 I can’t believe he wasn’t military-experienced, I thought he was a military-experienced idol
Anonymous 108 ☞Anonymous 107 I thought he was from Taereung, but he was just from a school soccer team (not elite sports)
Anonymous 109 Isn’t this guy the main character from that Hyoryun diss rap? I thought only Hyoryun could do stuff like that, but he’s doing well in military service too, kinda unexpected… Maybe it’s because that Hyoryun diss rap gave him such a rebellious image that got stuck ㅋㅋ

‘Real Men’ Yoon Eden leaves… Nam Giyeong fills the empty spot
The ‘Real Men’ production crew announced on the 17th that Yoon Eden left due to scheduling reasons and recruited actor Nam Giyeong as a new member…
______________________________
HOT! [‘Real Men’ Yoon Eden leaves… Nam Giyeong fills the empty spot]
-Ugh, he was doing well, why is he leaving? When all the other panelists were being weak, he succeeded refreshingly, making it worth watching
└Agreed. Even Kim Seongyong who used to be called the ace seems to be declining due to his age these days, so I thought they were getting some young blood, but he leaves right away
└He was tall and good-looking too, these kinds of people need to come out for ratings to rise, but Nam Giyeong is…
-He was being called the next-generation ace and even got the Guerrilla King title, but if he leaves after doing guerrilla training once, either he was a one-time fill-in from the beginning or he really left due to a busy schedule
└The person himself must be most disappointed, he had the perfect angle to gain popularity with this but he’s leaving
└I agree, it might not have been his own will
-What was really likable was how he stepped up first every time they gave him something to do and worked hard. Even when they made him sing, he didn’t avoid it and did girl group songs perfectly. These kinds of people do well anywhere and even in the army they get called ace and do well
-What is the PD doing? Please remove Moon Seokgyun who only fails, whines, and tries tricks all the time, and make this guy a regular member. Don’t you know I want to change the channel every time Moon Seokgyun appears?
-He’s a rapper, so if he appears on DTB, I’ll support him with Real Men spirit
└No no, he’s not a rapper but an idol rapper
└Idol rappers can’t appear on DTB? That’s your prejudice
Dream Heart Daydream @revedream
Daydream girls, what do we do, our family member became a fan
He’s demanding to be called a Daydream boy now
I don’t want to call him boy so I call him Daydream uncle and he throws another fit

Uncle fans make it seem like Rev became a girl group…

Eden, please release a solo song quickly
My older brother is desperately looking for your solo song

What’s a non-person? lol Can’t even say this much?
He’s from 2E Underground and has a bit of an art snob tendency, so if male fans latch onto him, there’s a damn high chance he’ll become an art disease patient spouting bullshit about real music and real hip hop to gain recognition from armchair critics in online communities
Have you even tried being a K-pop fan once or twice

So did Eden actually post on SNS saying he wants to do real music instead of fucking idol songs?
Why are you beating up the kid over something that hasn’t even happened? If he gets art disease, we can beat him up then

The aftermath of appearing on terrestrial broadcasting and was definitely significant.
Thanks to Kim Woochan’s advice, I earned the title of Guerrilla King, so I became someone who regrettably left due to various circumstances rather than someone who ran away because filming was tough, and variety show love calls started pouring in quite a bit.
Though I only picked a few that fit my schedule due to comeback preparations.
And today, 10 days before Rev’s comeback, Altair made their comeback.
“We’re going to clash again. Sigh, of all groups, it had to be Altair again.”
Listening to Ryu Jaehee’s lament, I checked the song Altair brought out. Anyway, as a rival whose promotion period would overlap, listening to their song in advance wasn’t a bad choice.
Was it really a coincidence that it had the same name as the song that made Rev a hit before my regression?
I went into the song’s detailed information to check the composer. As expected, it was the same composer who wrote before my regression. Seeing it listed alongside KJ, it seemed to be a collaboration.
‘It’s not 100% yet, but this makes it about 90% certain.’
For whatever reason, the fact that Altair’s Cha Yeonho was also a regressor.
The song I played was a mix of familiar and unfamiliar. ‘s addictive hook remained the same, but the verses that were criticized as difficult or boring had completely changed.
Thanks to that, it was much better than the original I remembered. And for us, that was bad news, not good news.
‘Did KJ work on the verses?’
I hate to admit it, but KJ did have musical sense. The problem was that he shamelessly plagiarized and intercepted other people’s songs as his own. Damn bastard, is music a joke to you?
“Wow, the song is really good?”
Ryu Jaehee, who was listening beside me, burst out in admiration. I silently stopped the song, got up, and headed to the studio.
There, I recreated the I remembered exactly as it was. The recreation wasn’t difficult. It was the only success Rev had before my regression, so I’d heard it to death.
There weren’t any high note parts either, so I didn’t need to call Gyeon Hajun for guide vocals. After finishing the recording, three hours had passed by.
After completing the follow-up editing work and sending the demo to my cell phone, I returned to the dormitory.
When I first played the song for the youngest line, Ryu Jaehee blinked and asked me.
“Huh, hyung. Are you planning to hack the music chart homepage and replace Altair’s song with this? Why are you downgrading other people’s songs?”
“I acknowledge the downgrade. Altair’s song was good.”
This was our original song, you guys. We sang it before my regression, and we almost sang it this time too if things had gone wrong.
I chuckled and ruffled both guys’ hair, then played the song for Gyeon Hajun too.
“Isn’t this Altair’s song? But why did you arrange it?”
“Just because. How’s this version?”
“The original is better to listen to… but this one’s okay too.”
I burst out laughing at Gyeon Hajun trying to say something nice, thinking I had arranged it, and patted his back.
“You can just be honest, Jun. I didn’t arrange this.”
“Ah, really? Then well… the Altair version is much better.”
After hearing even Gyeon Hajun’s honest evaluation, I finally went to Seo Yehyeon. To Seo Yehyeon, who had loved and cherished the most before my regression.
“What’s this?”
“How’s the song?”
“Not great… the song we’re making our comeback with is much better.”
Seo Yehyeon’s answer brought out laughter filled with complex emotions.
Bitterness, relief, pride, and so on.
I’m really the only one who has lingering attachment to this song.
This is why being the only one with memories is such a lonely thing.
I flopped onto the bed, put in my earphones, and played the song one last time. Even listening again, the verse parts were still terrible.
When the song ended, I pressed and held the file saved as .
[Do you want to delete?]
My finger hesitated for a moment before touching ‘Yes’.
Now it was time to let go of my lingering attachment.
