A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 201
After this stage ends, the reaction that Rev’s fandom Daydream would receive from Altair’s fandom Aquila would be…
-No matter how hard Rev fans try to compete, this one performance proved that Altair just can’t keep up, right? lol
-They should just stick to the original song, why did they ruin someone else’s song by arranging it like that?
-I’m reminded once again that Altair’s skills are truly on another level…
Or,
-The stage looks cool because the original song is good, but I’m not sure if we can say Rev did well??
-Did this fandom throw away respect for the original artist? Without the original, there wouldn’t be this stage you’re so proud of either?
-Altair matched Rev’s level as much as possible, but we saw how the junior group gritted their teeth trying to beat them~ Rev is lower than Altair, subscribe
One of two extremes – they were split to polar opposites.
Anyway, they were destined to get beaten up whether they performed poorly, and destined to get beaten up even if they performed well.
So Miss Kang rather hoped Rev would tear up the stage and get beaten up by the enraged Aquilas.
As a former Aquila, she knew the latter would make Aquila’s fighting power skyrocket incomparably, but still, dealing with that was better than hearing mockery about their skills.
Once again, she was a terrible skill-obsessed fan.
[REVE-Temptation]
Spotlights poured onto the stage that had been lit with dim lighting, clearly showing the four Rev members standing in formation.
The camera that swept across the faces of the members standing in a semicircle then zoomed in on Seo Yehyeon, who was lying on the stage with only one knee raised in the center of the semicircle.
Tick-tock, along with the sound of a clock’s second hand, a slow and sensual melody rang out.
Yehyeon’s outfit was a loose-fitting black shirt with the top buttons undone, fully revealing his collarbone. A leather choker connected with chains wrapped around his neck.
When Yehyeon slightly lowered his eyes, which were done up with dark makeup, a languid and dreamy atmosphere wafted out.
‘Yoon Jeonga is going to go crazy.’
As if proving that prediction correct, Miss Kang’s cell phone was ringing like crazy without stopping for even a second.
[Try to tempt you
Try to tempt you tonight]
The song’s introduction opened with Yehyeon’s whispering voice.
-Wow starting with Yehyeon from the intro, who can beat this
-Crazy our pure deer can do sexy too
Still lying down, Yehyeon lightly raised one hand and wiggled his fingers as if playing piano in the air.
Tango sounds gradually mixed in as the drum beat laid down the bass.
Kim Dobin, who naturally took the next part, moved to center and naturally blocked Yehyeon from view.
A ribbon-like fabric choker that wrapped around his neck and hung down long swayed every time Dobin moved his body.
‘Wow, did they completely overhaul the beginning part?’
The lyrics were the same, but she could clearly feel that the key and melody had changed. And it didn’t feel awkward at all, as if it had originally been Rev’s song.
Dobin, who erased his smile and looked at the camera with slightly tensed eyes, showed such maturity that you could momentarily forget his usual aegyo-filled appearance.
-Ah Dobin can do sexy too!
-Look at how he’s trying to make his eyes look intense for his own version of a sexy concept lol ㅋㅋㅋ so cute
After the knife-sharp choreography that started with Gyeon Hajun’s part ended, Yuje came out sweeping back his hair, revealing his body lines with a leather harness tightly bound over his shirt.
His height had grown so much that you couldn’t recall his cute youngest member days, his face had lost baby fat and become more defined, and his eyes curved lazily.
Yuje’s face was full of ease as he hit the high notes refreshingly, as if it was nothing difficult.
[If you step back one step, come two steps closer to me
This is the Temptation I’m sending to you]
-Is that really a minor who has to leave work before 10 PM today
-Youngest Member went crazy… Our Yuje really went crazy…-So this is what they mean by being naturally gifted without trying
As soon as the chorus ended, Yoon Eden’s rap part immediately burst out. Miss Kang covered her mouth at her bias’s long-awaited part.
Unlike his usual image of going around loosely disheveled, his buttons were properly fastened up to his neck with chain harnesses crossed in an X.
But his gaze staring at the camera as if he would devour it was a level more intense than usual.
-How the hell is that a cat, that’s a fucking tiger
-I never thought I’d use the term “abstinent sexy” for Eden
-Damn Eden hyung
The formation changed once to a V-shape centered on Yoon Eden. The chain harnesses on their upper bodies clinked with the skillful wave movements.
‘The dance lines are really insane…’
As the rap part was gradually ending, Gyeon Hajun, who had broken away from that formation, stood behind Yoon Eden.
[It’s a boring and obvious line, but can I say one thing
Dancing in the moonlight together?]
Yoon Eden, who finished his part, placed his hand on top of Hajun’s politely extended hand and turned his body with his hand raised as if waltzing, and Hajun, who had successfully switched places with Eden, took over the part.
[The gaze calling you, the touch reaching out to you
Even without a single word, just 10 seconds is enough]
Flawless clean high notes rang out. Led by Hajun standing at the very front of the formation, everyone turned their backs.
Hajun’s outfit, which seemed relatively plain with no decorations in front, had a dramatically cut back that fully revealed his well-built back muscles.
Every time he moved vigorously, the chains decorating the back panel swayed.
-Gyeon Hajun you crazy bastard are you insane!!!!!
-Forget the gaze and touch, one look at that back and 1 second is enough
-Hajun who told you to show your back to all these outside women!!!!
Another explosive reaction burst out at Yehyeon’s part where he traced his lips with his thumb.
[If you step back one step, come two steps closer to me
This is the Temptation I’m sending to you]
Rev, who performed the perfectly synchronized group dance with the final chorus, struck their ending pose as the first verse ended.
The camera that had been zooming in to show each member’s face one by one finally focused on Yehyeon.
Yehyeon, who had been intensely putting strength in his eyes, spotted the camera aimed at him and relaxed his eyes while smiling sweetly.
-Wow this is an ending cut that will go down in history
-Rev’s stage is really insane
-Praying for Rev’s sexy concept comeback Day 1
-They just killed it
This on stage was reborn as a song that didn’t stray far from the original while being distinctly colored with Rev’s own style.
-Wow, to pull off “your song is my song” like this
-I was worried since this was Rev’s first sexy concept, but my worries were pointless lol
-If you arranged it this well, you should’ve done the second verse too as courtesy. How am I supposed to listen to the original now?
As the Rev members headed backstage, the lights began turning off one by one with a flick.
After the last light went out, fluorescent glow-in-the-dark lights began appearing one by one on the darkened stage.
Rabbit faces, dog faces, clouds, smiles – random doodles floated through the air.
When dim lighting came on just enough to distinguish silhouettes, an intense dance break began to match the extended intro melody.
[show just begin
reverse in reverse]
With Cha Yeonho’s relaxed high notes, Altair in glossy black hoodies simultaneously lowered their hoods as bright lights poured down over their heads.
Each hoodie had different colored accents on the hem and sleeves. Thanks to some members wearing their hoodies loosely, you could see they wore sleeveless mock turtlenecks underneath.
[okay now flip it
There’s no second chance, only one chance
Opportunity comes to those who seize it]
The intro began with KJ’s rap.
Thanks to flashy choreography incorporating acrobatic moves that grabbed attention, stable vocals, and high notes that hit hard when needed, Altair’s stage didn’t feel lacking or inferior to the original.
Their solid interpretation of the song also contributed to the stage’s immersion.
-Wow, Altair as expected
-The performance was absolutely insane from the very first dance break ㅜㅜㅜㅜ How are they pulling off live vocals on top of this ㅜㅜㅜ
-Experience is definitely important. They handle even potentially cringey concepts so smoothly
-Amazing how they pull off the song this well without even arranging it
-Hmm… The opening dance break was cool, but since nothing changed dramatically, I’m not sure if this stage is cooler than Rev’s
[show just begin
reverse in reverse]
Altair finished their stage with all six members sitting rebelliously with hands on their knees.
After the first verse ended, Rev members came running out from both sides of the backstage, wearing white t-shirts under their Reverse stage costumes and hoodies.
[They say dreamers can’t become realists, but
The moment dreams come true
Is when dreamers are reborn as realists]
While Altair returned backstage, Rev formed their positions and naturally began the second verse.
Since they were performing right after Altair, comparisons were easier, so Miss Kang desperately hoped Rev would kill the original song stage too. At least they had definitely killed the Temptation stage as she wanted.
-Oh they’re not being pushed back, not being pushed back
-As expected, when the original artists sing it, it’s definitely refreshing
-I was impressed by Altair’s version, but seeing this has that original flavor
-I don’t really see how Altair was overwhelming
-Yoon Eden’s face is kind of a cheat key for this song. Altair doesn’t have a face like Yoon Eden’s…
-So cool
If Altair competed with performance, Rev threw down the gauntlet with pure live vocal skills. The vocal line members competed with each other to hit the high notes.
As they reached the song’s highlight, Altair’s stage, which had been relatively bland in the latter half compared to the beginning, gradually faded while Rev’s stage was strongly etched into the audience’s minds.
[Flip the world
Because we deserve to]
Rev members finished the song and sat crookedly on stage in their ending pose.
The lights flashed, and as Rev members stood up, doors opened at the back of the stage and Altair members walked out leisurely, wearing formal suit jackets over sleeveless mock turtlenecks.
‘s second verse echoed through the stage again.
-Hmm, the original seems a bit more bland than Rev’s version?
-This actually feels more like covering Rev’s song
-Experience is experience. Altair is a step above in sexiness
-As expected, can’t beat the original
-Even setting aside performance, the arranged version is more memorable
-Aquila fans coping lol
Although Altair’s stage was fully prepared to avoid being called inferior, it wasn’t enough to face Yoon Eden’s arrangement, sharpened like a blade by someone experienced with .
It was the moment Miss Kang pledged lifelong loyalty to Rev.
* * *
As soon as we came down from the stage after finishing the collaboration stage without a single mistake, we embraced each other tightly without anyone going first.
Seeing the members perform , my parts in , and the choreography – everything felt refreshingly nostalgic after such a long time.
Though it was an emotion only I could feel, I was truly glad I could return this song to the members at least once.
Although we only sang the first verse on today’s stage, I felt like I could now let go of with a clear heart.
