A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 199
[Yuje: Hey, Yoon Eden!]
[Doby: Oh, starting strong from the get-go?]
[Eden: Why, Jaehee Hyung. Why are you calling me.]
[Doby: Oh, Eden Hyung is just being strong?]
[Yuje: Doby, this is Banmal Time right now. Eden is supposed to be two years younger than you, remember?]
[Doby: How the hell did I do Banmal Time back then? Was I braver then?]
[Yuje: No. Even back then you just called Eden’s name once and immediately moved on.]
-I wonder if Doby will be able to enjoy Banmal Time comfortably this time
-Totally possible if they just separate him from Eden
Ryu Jaehee, who pointed to Yoon Eden first as the opening batter, spoke confidently.
[Yuje: Eden, let’s share clothes. Is it really that precious to lend your Hyung clothes once?]
[Eden: Yes, it is precious. You can just buy clothes in the style you want to wear when you’re shopping. Why do you buy the complete opposite style and then covet my clothes?]
[Yuje: Well, if I buy overlapping styles it feels embarrassing like I’m copying you.]
[Eden: No, why is that embarrassing? I won’t say anything even if you buy the same clothes, so just buy and wear them.]
[Two people who don’t understand each other]
-Wow that’s exactly like the conversation between my family’s first and second sons
-So the Eden-style clothes that Yuje wears occasionally are actually Eden’s lol
[Yuje: And Hajun, I’m the tallest here right now, but why are you still not letting me heat up instant rice on days when bean rice comes out? Back then you said I needed to grow taller, but I’m tall enough now. Isn’t it Eden’s turn to eat it now?]
[Hajun: It’s for Jaehee Hyung’s health. They say beans are good for your health.]
[Yuje: What, so you’re saying Eden doesn’t need to be healthy?]
[Hajun: He’s sturdy even without eating stuff like that.]
[Eden who looks sturdy to anyone, and Yuje who looks delicate(?)]
-Where’s the delicate-looking person here lol Even Yehyeon, who’s the most innocent type, is far from delicate lol
-But Eden really does look sturdy even to me… If we fed him health food too, it would really be unmanageable…
Ryu Jaehee made a sulky expression reminiscent of Yoon Eden and looked around at Seo Yehyeon.
[Yuje: Yehyeon, thank you. Thanks to you, I’ve developed a habit I didn’t know I had. I find myself checking food calories first before eating anything without realizing it. Our Yehyeon seems to have contributed greatly to that habit.]
[Yehyeon: Oh my, you’ve picked up a good habit. That’s fortunate. But could you do something about that expression, Jaehee Hyung? It keeps reminding me of someone.]
-Why is Bambi looking so proud lol
-They say you can’t even cough carelessly in front of a child, but he’s subtly copying Eden with the youngest member’s clothes and expressions lol
[Yuje: Doby, your form has been insane lately. You’re really the funniest guy when you’re not trying. Let’s keep maintaining this form by giving up your comedy ambitions.]
[Doby: Can you… do comedy without intending to…?]
[Yuje: Yeah, it’s possible if you just give up the desire to do comedy.]
-Doby is my favorite but that’s the truth… heh
Kim Doby made an expression like a dog who put out his left paw but was told the owner wanted the right paw so he wouldn’t get treats, and looked up at Ryu Jaehee.
Next was Kim Doby’s turn. Kim Doby, who boldly pointed to Yoon Eden like he did a year and six months ago, opened his mouth with a determined face.
[Doby: Eden, composition play isn’t fun! Please don’t call it fun composition play! Don’t ask me why I put that chord after this chord! I don’t know either!]
[Eden: No, you have to think when you put it in, where is there just randomly? Huh?]
Kim Doby quietly shrunk after being scolded by Yoon Eden. But he quickly regained his spirit and continued with the things he wanted to say to Seo Yehyeon and Gyeon Hajun.
It was because the two were better at responding and less scary than Yoon Eden.
Of course, since Kim Doby himself was trying to be funny on purpose, it became ghostly unfunny.
[Eden: Hey, Yehyeon.]
[Yehyeon: Yeah, why, Eden Hyung.]
[Eden: Ooh, our Yehyeon, are you speaking casually to Hyung?]
[Yehyeon: Yeah, if Hyung speaks formally after Banmal Time ends, I’ll speak formally to you now too.]
[Eden eventually gives up on getting formal speech from Yehyeon]
-Self-reliance lol
-Why did Bambi’s combat power get so high lol
After going around once to Seo Yehyeon, who was the last in order, light conversation time continued without announcing the end of Banmal Time yet.
[Yehyeon: Living as the youngest member seems pretty nice?]
[Yuje: That’s because you’ve only lived like that for 30 minutes, Yehyeon. Try living your whole life as this team’s youngest member. Is this really okay.]
-lol the robbed youngest member’s position
-Right, a trial version and the real youngest are different lol
[Eden: No, Jaehee Hyung. Anyone would think we bully you for being the youngest member.]
[Yuje: Of course our members treat me really well. But even when you guys are nice to me, from the youngest member’s position, you’re all older so there’s something like that.]
-The kids have gotten really close in a year. During My Idol there was still some awkwardness? Effort to maintain boundaries? But now they’re completely like real brothers
-The youngest line back then was obviously restraining themselves to not upset the hyungs, but this time they completely let loose lol
-The hyung line had no meaning for Banmal Time among themselves back then and now lol Only Eden is fun lol
[Eden: Okay, Banmal Time is over! From now on, if you want to continue Banmal Time, come after removing your rank insignia.]
[Yuje: Does removing rank insignia have any meaning?]
After Banmal Time ended, the broadcast concluded with Rev playing a round of Blue Marble like before and then going to bed.
Following that, next week’s preview, which was also the final episode preview, was uploaded.
[Next week!]
[Doby: Hajun Hyung? This kind of thing wasn’t in that trip back then!]
[Hajun: It would be boring if we only recreated everything. For both the people traveling and the people watching. So I planned this.]
[Those who cannot keep up shall be left behind!]
[Doby: Where is this place?]
[Yuje: Hyung, don’t just walk aimlessly, try opening the map app.]
[Eden: …Juni, who I trusted, has betrayed me.]
[Yehyeon: This isn’t right!]
[Hajun: Well, isn’t this the charm of travel? Predictable trips are boring.]
[Eden: I think predictable trips are more fun!]
[Hajun: Ah, Eden said that? Eden, sorry about that.]
[Doby: The last broadcast! Ending! Like this!]
[The final story of Rev Time where they can’t let their guard down until the end!]
-What is this? I was wondering whether to watch next week since it seemed like predictable boring stuff even though it’s the final episode, but Hajun smashed that expectation. I definitely have to watch
-What is it? lol Did Hajun betray Eden? lol Where did today’s episode’s gentle Hajun go!
-Indeed, compared to the long history of Gyeon Hajun discrimination, Yoon Eden discrimination is still lacking

After successfully completing our Japan debut showcase with the regular album [CHASE] at the end of November and successfully wrapping up three weeks of activities before returning home, what lay before us was…
“Year-end award ceremony stage preparation, album preparation, and concert preparation too. Wow, busy, so busy.”
“Wow, I urgently need Naruto’s Shadow Clone Technique….”
After hearing the additional explanation that the Shadow Clone Technique was a skill that created duplicate humans, I suddenly found myself desperately wanting it too.
“Guys, since we have to sing at WAMA and the music festival anyway, should we do the choreography for that? The version we did during our final broadcast?”
At my question, Ryu Jaehee shook his head with a disgusted expression. I lightly patted Jaehee’s shoulder and grinned.
“We need to show our Youngest Member’s powerful side once more. Thanks to our youngest, our final broadcast YouTube video hit a million views.”
The sight of Ryu Jaehee powerfully ripping his clothes and the flying button recorded a million YouTube views and even circulated as a meme used when feeling frustrated.
“Special Move! Button Ripping!”
Ryu Jaehee smacked Kim Dobin’s back once for his teasing and said firmly.
“Just once, only once.”
“Then let’s do it at the music festival.”
Since the person ripping buttons isn’t me but our youngest, shouldn’t our youngest’s opinion be respected the most?
Since that choreography video was recorded on Kim Dobin’s phone, there was no problem practicing with that version.
“And they said you’re doing a collaboration stage with Altair at Music Big Match.”
When I relayed what I’d received from the agency, Ryu Jaehee raised his eyebrows.
“Didn’t Altair hit it big with their song from the second half of this year? Everyone’s going crazy saying they’re set to win the grand prize for two consecutive years. But they’re only giving us a mere 6 minutes for a collaboration stage? Not giving us two full songs?”
Even before my regression, Altair had won the grand prize for two consecutive years, last year and this year, successfully establishing themselves as a solid first-tier group.
Since we didn’t achieve significant enough results with this year to surpass Altair’s second-half song indicators, this year’s grand prize would definitely go to Altair.
Still, before my regression, we weren’t even close to their level until I brought Altair down, but now in our third year we’ve reached the level of collaborating with Altair.
Come to think of it, KICKS, who debuted in the same year and even did collaboration stages with us, had now become a level where our fans would get angry if you compared us to them.
It was the complete opposite of before my regression and our debut days – you really never know what will happen in life.
“I heard Shinwol Entertainment and this broadcasting station had a fight, so it must be true. Starting next year, Altair and other Shinwol idols won’t appear on Music Big Match.”
Unlike Ryu Jaehee who was analyzing Shinwol Entertainment’s future trends, what we focused on was a different aspect.
“Wow, major agencies even go head-to-head with terrestrial broadcasting. I’m envious.”
“Right. Our shitty small company LnL could never dream of such a thing.”
“Still, our agency has grown quite a bit lately. It’s not at that unspeakable shitty small company level anymore.”
“Even so, the way they operate is still at a decent small company level at best.”
Still, lately the CEO has been cutting out the incompetent parachute hires, so things are running a bit better than before.
“Altair fans are probably pretty heated. From their perspective, being grouped with us is basically bringing down Altair’s level. So when you’re with Altair, don’t do or say anything that could be criticized or nitpicked. No, it’s not about whether our company is shitty or not right now.”
Ryu Jaehee, who had been giving us warnings, looked at us like we were the world’s biggest idiots after hearing our conversation.
“Who do you think we are, blockheads? We know that much too, youngest.”
Even though it was a collaboration stage, we’d just be switching and singing one verse each of our songs, so there was no need to meet separately with Altair to coordinate.
Watching Cha Yeonho mess up would have been pretty sweet content, but that’s unfortunate.
“Oh, Altair’s side contacted us saying they want to do .”
“Then let’s do Altair’s new song. Their latest song is really good.”
Everyone’s opinion leaned toward Altair’s second-half new song , but only one person – just me – was opposed.
“No.”
When I spoke up, everyone’s attention focused on me. Receiving their questioning gazes, I calmly opened my mouth.
“Let’s do .”
