A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 221
As soon as I opposed the meeting, Ryu Jaehee’s eyes widened as he shot back.
“What? Are you ignoring the constitution and foundation of our country right now? Article 1, Section 1 of the South Korean Constitution. The Republic of Korea is a democratic republic.”
Look at this guy showing off what he learned – you can tell he just took the college entrance exam not too long ago.
“Hey, let’s have a meeting about whether my principled statement that meetings are useless for choosing clothes constitutes an abuse of the leader’s authority.”
“Then let’s also have a meeting about how far we should recognize the leader’s authority!”
“Let’s have a meeting about whether Rev’s leader position ever had any authority to begin with!”
“Hmm, if there’s no authority, how are you planning to change the conditions for holding meetings?”
“Then we should have a meeting about whether we really need to have meetings over stuff like this.”
The meeting that started as the 502nd session returned to its original purpose only after becoming the 506th session, as always.
Who would have known that the Rev meetings, which I started to eliminate some initial intention deductions caused by that damn discord instigation, would become so corrupted?
It was truly amazing how they would dutifully hold meetings without getting annoyed, even though it took several meeting sessions to have one proper meeting.
“But what I realized anew in today’s meeting is that the Rev leader position really was a white elephant.”
Ryu Jaehee muttered with a face of enlightenment.
After listing all the leader’s duties and then boldly asking what leader’s authority I had exercised, all the answers the members gave were completely refuted.
“I definitely thought Eden hyung enjoyed a ton of benefits.”
“Those weren’t benefits he enjoyed because he was the leader, but just because he’s Eden hyung, as Eden hyung refuted. Even if Yehyeon hyung or Hajun hyung were the leader, Eden hyung would still enjoy the same things.”
Ryu Jaehee kindly provided eye-level education to Kim Dobin, who still had a confused expression of not understanding.
“Hyung, honestly, if Hajun hyung were the leader, would Eden hyung not give up the remote to Eden hyung just because Eden hyung isn’t the leader? Even if Eden hyung is sprawled out occupying the sofa alone, could you tell him to move because he’s not the leader? Even if you asked him to turn off the room lights or bring you a cup of water, would he refuse saying he’s not the leader?”
“Ah, that’s what you meant. That’s just impossible, isn’t it?”
Kim Dobin, who finally got it, nodded his head.
Seo Yehyeon looked at me with rare, pitying eyes and covered his mouth.
“No, it’s too sad. You get called to meetings, check schedules, communicate with the agency, do all the annoying stuff, but the only authority you have is leading the count when shouting greetings.”
“My goodness, the leader position was a role full of only duties with no rights…”
You ungrateful bastards are just realizing this now?
“Still, the position found the right person. If Hajun hyung had been the leader, everyone would have known the leader position was one where you only suffer, but because it’s Eden hyung, everyone thought the leader’s authority was amazing.”
Should I be angry about this or should I accept it? While I was pondering, the topic moved on to something else.
“But why did Eden hyung become the leader instead of Yehyeon hyung or Hajun hyung…?”
“Given the CEO’s personality, I think he just didn’t think much about it and gave it to whoever looked like they could maintain discipline the best.”
“That’s true…”
The members glanced at me and nodded with faces that seemed to agree with Seo Yehyeon’s hypothesis.
“That’s not it, you bastards. During trainee days, I took on the role because I had the loudest voice and was the most proactive.”
It’s not a position I took on because of my appearance.
“Then I’ll open Rev’s 506th meeting, ‘How to Choose Clothes.’ Anyone with opinions?”
“Since we’re going to show Daydream anyway, how about wearing clothes that perfectly match each other’s image? Choose by voting!”
“Isn’t this disadvantageous for those who go first? They’ll team up to eliminate the modified hanbok and women’s hanbok in the early order to deal with competitors.”
“Don’t play image games. I have bad memories of that.”
Recalling the Chuseok memory of becoming an unemployed guy who even failed at music, I rejected Kim Dobin’s opinion. So the conclusion, after going round and round, was rock-paper-scissors.
“Yes! I get the dragon robe!”
Seo Yehyeon, who won first place with a bright smile, chose the dragon robe without hesitation.
“Then I’ll take this.”
Gyeon Hajun, who won second place, also chose the jade-colored durumagi without any hesitation. Now what remained were the cheollik, women’s hanbok, and modified hanbok – these three.
“If you don’t throw, you lose, rock-paper-scissors!”
The joy and sorrow of me with a fist and the youngest line with scissors crossed. Ryu Jaehee grabbed me as I approached the cheollik and desperately tried to persuade me.
“If hyung wears this cheollik, you’ll have to play the role of Yehyeon hyung’s bodyguard in the skit. Will you fall from Rev’s leader to just a bodyguard? How about wearing the modified hanbok and escaping the class system instead?”
Kim Dobin also started trying to persuade me, not to be outdone.
“Eden hyung, they say the most manly thing a man can do is cross-dress. Wear this and show off your manly side.”
These two bastards really don’t agree on anything.
‘Still, falling to Seo Yehyeon’s bodyguard does hurt my pride a bit…’
After pondering for a moment with the three outfits in front of me, I reached out my hand.

[Yehyeon: Come here.]
[Hajun: Yes, Your Highness. Did you call for me?]
[Yehyeon: I called for the guard, not you. Where is the guard!]
[Eden: Yes, Your Highness. This humble servant is currently busy preparing for rebellion. So please don’t keep bothering me by calling.]
[Yehyeon: What, rebellion? Behead that traitor immediately!]
-Damn, His Highness is calling for me, why can’t I go, why can’t I go
-Hajun… let’s film a historical drama…
-I’m going crazy, Gyeon Hajun is the man who looks best in hanbok
-So Eden was Yehyeon’s bodyguard lololol
-What do you do when he says he’s preparing for rebellion lolol
-Eden, were you a warrior in your past life…? The outfit suits you so perfectly
-Wow crazy, when they’re all gathered like that it’s like a historical drama episode, anyway my pick is the bodyguard
└Then I pick the scholar
└I’m taking the crown prince
[Dobin: The hyungs didn’t call for me so I just came out myself.]
-Lol he doesn’t suit it at all lololol
-Kim female lead makes a spirited entrance with Dae Jang Geum OST
-Wow was Dobin a dance major? He dances so gracefully
└No no, general studies
-All three male leads aren’t paying attention to Dobin lol
[Yuje: Geez, what are you, children of darkness? Raise the window blinds and turn on the classroom lights. Class president, how far did this class get in the curriculum last week? This class is the most behind, the most.]
[Dobin: Teacher, we don’t have a class president, but we have a leader!]
[Yuje: Class president, say hello.]
[Eden: When His Highness the Crown Prince is present, how can this humble person step forward? Please have mercy.]
-What am I watching right now
-No but why is the Chinese literature teacher there…?
-What’s with the flute lololol
[Rev: Dream of me! Hello, we’re Rev!]
[Yehyeon: It’s already the lunar new year of 20XX, the new year has dawned.]
[Yuje: Time really flies. Are our Ilmong fans spending the new year well?]
[Eden: I hope you achieve all the things you planned for this year, and I hope Daydream can spend another enjoyable year together with us Rev.]
[Hajun: Please always stay healthy, and we’ll also work hard to give you lots of good memories this year too.]
[Rev: Daydream, Happy New Year!]
[Dobin: Mom help! No wait, this skirt is too long!]
[Yuje: Hyung made the choice. Accept it. But if I had worn it, it would have come up to my ankles.]
-Crazy lololol Dobin stepped on his skirt and fell over lmaooo
-Oh my, Dobin, it’s because you’re doing the bow the same way you usually do even while wearing a skirt ㅋㅋㅋ
-This side of him is also tomato Dorong, Kim female lead herself,,,
-Receiving a bow from the crown prince… feels like I’ve become His Majesty
└Forced Yehyeon’s father experience
-Seeing Yuje in hanbok feels weird because it’s like my Chinese character teacher is bowing to me
Ugh, it’s me lol Why does it have to be the exact same color and design as our school’s Chinese teacher’s outfit lmao
[※From now on, it’s the cookie video※]
-There was a reason why the number of meetings increased like that
-Guys, aren’t you tired of having so many meetings…?
[Yuje: But what I realized anew in today’s meeting is that the Rev leader position really was a burden.]
[Yehyeon: No, it’s too pitiful. Getting called to meetings, checking schedules, communicating with the agency, doing all the annoying stuff, but the only authority I have is leading the greeting chant and counting numbers.]
[Doby: My goodness, the leader position was a role full of duties but no rights…]
-Why are we suddenly contemplating leadership positions while picking out clothes lololol
-Our ethics leader… was a pitiful leader after all…
-Surprising, I thought the leader had strong power but only had a strong impression
[Eden: Still, it’s cheollik. Shouldn’t we maintain our dignity? One rebellion and even the crown prince is nothing, right?]
[Doby: Right, I’d rather wear women’s hanbok! That modified hanbok can’t even bring out the character! I’ll just get buried among those faces!]
[Yuje: Sigh… Am I the one who got the modified hanbok… Since it’s come to this, I’ll make Doby hyung regret the choice he made.]
-What’s more surprising is that Doby’s outfit wasn’t a penalty but his own choice
-Yuje, your choice was right… You brought out the character the best for real
└ lmao I only remember the Chinese classics teacher Yuje ㅋㅋㅋ

“Since the concert and comeback are coming up soon, be really careful with holiday food! You know how many calories holiday food has, right?”
I responded indifferently to Seo Yehyeon who was emphasizing being careful with holiday food until the very end as he left.
“Hyung said it so much my ears are bleeding, so I memorized it all. And anyway, when I go to my paternal family home, I lose my appetite and can’t eat. So don’t worry and hurry up and go, shoo shoo.”
I waved my hand and shooed Seo Yehyeon away.
Now once Gyeon Hajun and Kim Dobin left too, only Ryu Jaehee would remain alone in the dormitory. Since I couldn’t stay at the dormitory like before, it really bothered me.
I poked at Ryu Jaehee, who was slightly dejected, probably feeling lonely about being left alone even though he pretended otherwise.
“Jaehee, if you get bored, want to come to hyung’s house?”
