Regression Manual for an Idol Who Lost Their Original Intentions Chapter 192

 

 

 

 

 

[-Doby hyung, don’t mature. A group needs at least one character like you]

 

[-Doby, you’re the best teacher. Thank you always]

 

[-Doby, everything’s good but let’s sleep early at night. You won’t grow taller otherwise]

 

[-Let’s grow just 3cm more. Because you’re the only one in the 170s, Rev’s average height is only 180.6cm right now]

 

[Doby: Didn’t everyone write theirs too short?]

 

[Eden: Do you have any conscience, writing the shortest holiday greeting out of season and recycling it four times?]

 

 

 

At Yoon Eden’s pointed remark, Kim Dobin quietly changed the subject.

 

 

 

[Doby: And two out of four are about height! Let’s grow just 3cm more? I’m already upset about being the shortest in Rev, so who is this! Is this supposed to be a blessing?]

 

[Eden: That was me.]

 

[Doby: Since it’s the leader’s blessing, I’ll do my best to grow taller.]

 

[Quick attitude change]

 

 

 

Next was Gyeon Hajun’s turn.

 

 

 

[-Please be my guide vocal for life. There’s no tone like yours]

 

[-I always feel sorry and grateful for putting so much burden on you, and I’ve always felt bad that I might be burdening you because I’m not fulfilling my role as the eldest hyung properly. I’ll try to become a hyung you can rely on, even if just a little]

 

[-Happy New Year!]

 

[I’ll work even harder to help you from now on, hyung! Let me know anytime if things get tough! I can do anything except cooking ㅎ]

 

[Hajun: Thanks everyone. I’m touched.]

 

 

 

Gyeon Hajun spoke indifferently with a face that didn’t look particularly moved.

 

 

 

-Why is Yoon Eden the only one proposing?

 

└Isn’t that a declaration of lifelong vocal cord exploitation…?

 

 

 

[-Our youngest member, you know I always rely on you and am grateful, right? It’s quite embarrassing for a hyung to rely on his younger brother, but what can I do. You’ve matured more than me. Still, I’ll always lend you my shoulder, so if you need somewhere to lean on, feel free to come and rely on me anytime. Good luck on your college entrance exam]

 

[-Thank you for always stepping up to help at the dormitory. Do well on your exam and come back. I’ll pack you a delicious lunch box]

 

[-Happy New Year!]

 

[-Do well on your exam, and I’ll pray with you that all your guesses are right. I can’t do 108 bows because I’m afraid my knees will give out…]

 

[Yuje: Eden hyung secretly wrote long ones for everyone. Except for Hajun hyung and Doby hyung. Hey, Hajun hyung. What’s there to be grateful for. It’s only natural.]

 

[Eden: Well, with Hajun, there’s nothing I couldn’t say to his face that I’ve been keeping in my heart.]

 

[Doby: Please stop the Bi-Gyeon Hajun… no, Kim Dobin discrimination!]

 

[Eden: You, if I wrote long for you, it would be a page of nagging! Are you satisfied now!]

 

 

 

After finishing the rolling paper reveal up to the youngest member, the Rev members stood in a line in front of the camera.

 

 

 

[Rev: We hope all viewers have a pleasant Chuseok holiday with your families!]

 

 

 

“It’s over, so change the channel back to news.”

 

“Ah, Grandfather! Wait! They said there’s a cookie video!”

 

“Yoon Jeonga.”

 

“Jeonga, come into the master bedroom and watch!”

 

“Huuung, you should have given in earlier!”

 

 

 

[※Cookie Video※]

 

 

 

Subtitles announcing the cookie video appeared, and footage of Rev members creating each other’s character settings before the sitcom filming played.

 

 

 

-Wow, everyone’s united on Yehyeon’s character setting ㅋㅋ But honestly, it’s hard for me to imagine that face having any job other than being a celebrity

 

-Hajun’s actor setting would have been interesting too, what a shame,,,

 

 

 

[Eden: No, why is Yehyeon hyung a successful entertainer while I’m a prodigal son who ran away to do music and came back after 10 years as an unemployed guy with no successful albums!]

 

-The settings are unnecessarily detailed lol

 

-What the heck is going on with the leader’s image among the members lol

 

-Look at how desperately they’re trying to explain after writing “unemployed loser” lol

 

 

 

After the cookie video ended, next week’s preview appeared. That preview briefly contained ‘that scene’ everyone had been waiting for.

 

 

 

[Next week!]

 

[Eden: Let’s eat.]

 

[Yehyeon: Right… come to think of it, I was the eldest?]

 

[Doby: Just how long have we been doing this…]

 

[‘Rev Human Theater: Five Brothers Under One Roof’ will be broadcast.]

 

-Are they finally revealing the behind-the-scenes of the baseless patriarchal dining table rules?

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

-Our kids… aren’t comedians… they’re idols even if they look like this…

 

-I was watching at grandma’s house and my cousin who was obsessed with Lisa and DTB recognized Eden lol

 

 

 

The first episode had such a good response that I felt some pressure, but fortunately the reaction to Chuseok special surpassed episode 1.

 

There were quite a few reactions saying they watched it laughing together with their families.

 

 

 

[Yoon Jung-ah – Since oppa didn’t come home this Chuseok, I couldn’t guard the main bedroom TV ㅠ] 3:31 PM

 

[? So what?] 3:32 PM

 

[Yoon Jeonga- So I watched Rev Time Chuseok special with grandfather in the living room, using the excuse of showing oppa’s face to grandfather] 3:33 PM

 

[Yoon Jeonga- But grandfather got pissed seeing oppa’s state] 3:34 PM

 

 

 

But shit, I didn’t know our family was watching that too.

 

“Aaaaah! Yoon Jeonga, are you crazy! Why did you watch that with grandfather!”

 

No wonder grandfather had been calling like crazy! I blocked him thinking it would be nagging about why I didn’t come for the holiday, but it wasn’t nagging – I almost got a whole bucket of curses.

 

I did well to block him. My choice was right after all.

 

I immediately called Yoon Jeonga.

 

“No, you’re scared of grandfather. Did you want to watch that next to grandfather?”

 

-To see Yehyeon oppa’s face, I can endure that much. Though I got scolded terribly afterward… Grandfather must have been really pissed. Even when I shed a few tears, he didn’t go easy on me…

 

What exactly is fandom that makes Yoon Jeonga do things she normally wouldn’t even think of?

 

“You’re a high school senior and you say ‘must have been really pissed’ about an adult?”

 

-Who is this? Is this really Eden oppa’s phone? If Daydream knew how oppa behaves in front of grandfather, they would have added hypocritical old-timer to oppa’s nicknames.

 

“Oh, goodbye to the Seo Yehyeon limited photocard you requested, goodbye. By the way, it’s Goodbye, not Hi.”

 

-No oppa wait!

 

Despite Yoon Jeonga’s urgent voice, I hung up without caring.

 

You’re also temporarily blocked along with grandfather. I bought and sent you an expensive chocolate set wishing you luck on your college entrance exam, and you repay kindness with betrayal?

 

Anyway, after finishing our short Japan schedule and returning to Korea, we received information about projects scheduled for the second half of this year and first half of next year.

 

First, for the second half of this year, there’s the Japan debut showcase scheduled for late November. And for the first half of next year…

 

“Oh, are we finally having a concert?”

 

Finally, Rev’s first solo concert was scheduled. The date was set for around the end of February. And we were planning to announce a new song at the concert and showcase it for the first time on stage.

 

“Aw, it’s not the gymnastics arena.”

 

“Why don’t you worry about whether we can even fill up Jamsil Indoor Stadium that we booked this time?”

 

Ryu Jaehee raised his eyebrows and snapped at Kim Dobin’s grumbling.

 

With four and a half months left until the end of February, we had plenty of preparation time. Combined with the new song release, we had enough songs to fill the setlist too.

 

The problem was that combining Japan debut, album preparation, and concert preparation would leave us short-handed even with two bodies.

 

The Japan debut wouldn’t take much time since we were just planning to change the regular album into translated versions without shooting separate music videos, but to prepare both the album and concert at the same time, hmm…

 

“If it seems too difficult, couldn’t we postpone the concert date to March? We could do the comeback in February as planned.”

 

The new Planning Director firmly shook his head at the CEO’s suggestion.

 

“February is definitely better than March.”

 

Seeing that resolute attitude and how he explained point by point the valid reasons why it had to be February, I felt relieved that this Planning Director wasn’t like the former Planning Director who was just a clapping bot and yes-man.

 

After receiving all the schedule information and heading back to the dormitory, I turned on SNS to do a Search Quest and saw my name trending on social media for the first time in a while.

 

 

 

[Rev Eden Diss]

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

Here’s the situation.

 

DTB suddenly blew up big, and apparently some underground-obsessed guy got jealous of the rappers from DTB Season 3 getting attention, so he dropped a wide-range diss track targeting all the rappers who appeared on DTB Season 3.

 

He went after everyone equally, whether they were producers or contestants. In a way, he was bold.

 

It could have just been buried as the desperate flailing of some nobody from the fringes, but fortunately or unfortunately for the guy who dropped the diss track, BQ9, who was the runner-up no less, mentioned it and released a counter-diss track, bringing this diss track to the surface.

 

 

 

Yoo Taegeun @ytgreal

 

Downloaded the slander beat

And the rappers mentioned in this diss track started dropping counter-diss tracks one after another, beginning their lesson-teaching.

 

So what’s this slander beat that Yoo Taegeun mentioned?

 

An American rapper released a song called ‘slander’, where he dissed famous American rappers with wide-range targeting.

 

After that, the beat from ‘slander’ was frequently used for diss tracks, and most of the counter-diss tracks responding to this DTB wide-range targeting diss track were adopting the slander beat.

 

So why did [Rev Eden Diss] trend on social media?

 

This bastard dissed me while dissing Yongcheol Hyung.

 

To Yongcheol Hyung: the guy who shamelessly took the championship through idol popularity vote rigging.

 

To me: if you’re an idol, act like an idol and do heart dances on stage while being cute, instead of crawling into the hip hop scene and muddying the waters.

 

Anyone would think I appeared on DTB? I only did featuring, so why is he dissing me longer than Yongcheol Hyung? And damn it, I’ve never done a heart dance on stage.

 

After my detailed explanation, Ryu Jaehee nodded along but suddenly got a serious expression and asked me.

 

“Hyung, you’re not thinking of releasing a counter-diss track and joining that war zone, are you?”

 

“Huh? I’m already downloading the slander beat though?”

 

At my nonchalant response, Ryu Jaehee shouted urgently.

 

“Take it away, Doby Hyung! Quickly take the phone away from Eden Hyung!”
