A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 24

“Do you want a socially acceptable answer? Or do you want an honest one?”

I burst into refreshing laughter at the youngest member’s question.

This was exactly why I had bothered to ask the youngest member in the first place.

Of course, the fact that he was sitting right next to me accounted for roughly 40% of the reason.

Seo Yehyeon was looking at me sideways anyway, so it was obvious I wouldn’t get a good answer from him.

Gyeon Hajun was naturally the type to speak in roundabout ways without saying anything that would hurt people’s feelings, so it was clear I wouldn’t hear the answer I wanted.

Kim Dobin was… never mind. Let’s not even go there.

“Tell me honestly. I won’t say anything about it.”

“You seemed a bit crazy, but I thought how hard must that hyung’s life have been for him to rely entirely on fortune telling.”

“And now that it’s been revealed that wasn’t the case?”

Would my initial intentions score be deducted for instigating discord?

“Just a crazy guy who wasn’t even struggling?”

Contrary to my preparation for the pain that was about to come, my initial intentions score wasn’t deducted.

“You said you wouldn’t say anything.”

Perhaps misunderstanding my serious expression, Ryu Jaehee timidly added a comment.

Regardless, I rubbed my throbbing temples and grumbled.

“No, what’s different from when I pushed One Chance as the follow-up song?”

“It’s different. Back then, you were Reve’s fascist dictator.”

Oh ho, so that’s how you thought of me?

When I propped my chin and stared at him intently, Ryu Jaehee gradually scooted his butt backward and yelped.

“You said you wouldn’t say anything!”

“What did I say?”

I picked my ear with my pinky finger and gestured with my remaining hand, indicating for him to continue.

Ryu Jaehee scratched his cheek and spoke with an embarrassed expression on his face.

“You’re also trying to communicate, and anyway, in the end One Chance worked out well as a follow-up song.”

In other words…

“So it’s okay to be a dictator as long as the results are good?”

Looking at the January comeback lineup, they’ll naturally learn about my performance this time, so now I don’t have to worry about my initial intentions score being deducted for instigating discord when I push my opinions forward?

As I grinned and leaned back comfortably on the sofa, I heard Ryu Jaehee’s sigh from beside me.

“Sigh, this hyung still hasn’t come to his senses.”

At his gaze that seemed to find me pathetic, I scratched the back of my head and asked.

“…That’s not it?”

“Yes yes, wrong answer. Think about it carefully once more and try to find it.”

Then at least tell me the correct answer. I have so much to do, do I really need to think about that too?

Grumbling, I checked the Weekly Quest list.

Since it wasn’t an active period, I confirmed the Quest list that wasn’t much different from the previous week and started the Search Quest that would take the least time and was the easiest.

The buzz volume had clearly increased since the One Chance activities, so the Search Quest wasn’t the same as before either.

While reminiscing about the past when nothing would come up in searches and the Quest would be completed in one minute – a past that left me unsure whether to feel sad or happy – I was casually clicking through posts that appeared on internet sites when I discovered a fairly long article.

[Entertainment Chat] Rookie Boy Group That’s Catching My Eye Lately

That’s what I’m writing, but read it as the rookie boy group I’m stanning these days.

(Reve_One Chance_Music Camp Ending.jpg)

That’s right, it’s the One Chance group that became famous through word of mouth as a gacha winning song, equipment enhancement song, and fighting spirit charging song.

It’s a 5-member boy idol group under LnL called Reve.

The fandom name is Daydream. The fandom nickname is Ilmong, taken from the Korean word for daydream. But there’s only one guy in the group who calls us by the nickname,,,

Debut date is xx.08.08. Their debut album is Mini Album 1 which includes One Chance.

Below I’ve briefly organized the members’ profiles and TMI. Since they’re still rookies there isn’t much out there, so I scraped together everything I could find about their true selves and surrounding stories.

Order is by age!

1. Seo Yehyeon

(One Chance_waist line_that guy.jpg)

He’s 21 years old this year, making him the oldest in the team. His birthday is December 17th and his profile lists his height as 180cm. As you can see in the photos, he’s the visual member of the team, but his singing and rap skills are… well… But he’s handsome so it’s fine haha. A masculine pretty boy with deer-like features – you don’t see that often

Sometimes on stage he creates new choreography on his own and then checks the leader’s reaction lol even though Eden is the younger one lol

He does post selfies on his SNS from time to time, but he’s not good at taking photos… Still, he’s handsome so it’s fine haha

2. Gyeon Hajun

(One Chance_abstinent 19+_that guy.jpg)

Born January 3rd, but not an early admission so he’s the same school year as Yoon Eden, twenty years old. Profile height is 182cm. He looks more like an actor than an idol, but his position in the team is vocal line (probably lead vocal…?) His vocal tone is amazing

He takes good care of the members. Seeing that he was chosen as the one who cooks well on the OA app, he seems to cook meals too. I guess he’s the team mom that every group has one of.

Looking at how he barely speaks on broadcasts like radio, he doesn’t seem to talk much. He’s not the type to communicate a lot, but his fan service offline is incredible.

3. Yoon Eden

(One Chance_cocky smile_tear mole_that guy.jpg)

Born August 1st and also twenty. Profile height is 180cm. He’s the team leader and main rapper. His rap skills are no joke and his dance lines are pretty. He’s the creator of the songwriting and composing for , Reve’s only song.

He was in the hip hop underground before taking the trainee route. There’s a rumor that he and Hajun were both Newborn trainees together. He has a slightly intimidating fox-like appearance that makes you nervous when you make eye contact, but his eye smile is so refreshing and he becomes a cheerful guy when he smiles. Please let him do more fan service, just smile all the time Eden…

He’s one of the team’s communication duo along with the youngest. His signature greeting is uniquely “May the future be stronger than the past.” He uploads photos often, and unlike Yehyeon who’s hopeless at selcas, this one is a selca god.

Hajun speaks formally to Yehyeon even though there’s less than a month difference in their birthdays, but Eden speaks casually to him. He’s a hierarchy breaker.

4. Kim Dobin

(One Chance_bang bang_that guy.jpg)

She’s 18 years old this year and is currently a student in the practical dance department at 00 Arts High School. Her major is urban dance. Her birthday is May 26th. According to her profile, she’s 177cm tall and her position in the team is main dancer, as you’d expect from her major. She looks like a Golden Retriever lol

He has a lot of comedy ambition but isn’t funny… Sorry Dobin… But Reve has Seo Yehyeon, the comedy goldmine who’s the creator of new choreography.

He has memories of being intimidated during his first meeting with Eden, thinking it was hazing. So maybe because of that, even though the misunderstanding has been cleared up, he still gets stiff and disciplined in front of Eden.

5. Yuje (Ryu Jaehee)

(One Chance_rating guardian_that guy.jpg)

He’s 17 this year and the youngest member of the team. Birthday is September 14th. His profile height is also 175cm, so he holds both the youngest and shortest positions in the team. And he’s the only member in Reve who uses a stage name.

His position is main vocal. His high notes and vocal power are almost beyond idol level. I remember he was a TK trainee from one of the big 3 agencies and was mentioned here several times, but I’m curious why he left TK to debut at LnL,,,

Along with Eden, they’re the top two communication members within the team. This one always tends to add hamster emojis. But since the cuteness is similar, there are no complaints haha. Their selfie skills are average. Maybe that’s why they often take two-shots with Eden. Good fan service both on and offline!

He’s often seen clinging to the members, but except for Hajun, they don’t really reciprocate. Come on guys, play along a bit ㅠ Our cute youngest is getting disappointedㅠㅠ

If you’ve read this far, it means you’ve already been recruited by Reve (wink

So let’s stan Reve together.

Let’s be Reve fans until we die, and whoever gets tired first becomes a dog.

Please show a lot of interest in our kids and please pray that the next album comes out as good as One Chance, that’s all

Comments 46

-Congratulations, I think you just successfully recruited me. There probably aren’t many videos since they’re rookies, but I’ll go watch them all

└Only look for music shows from 0821 onwards, don’t look for previous music shows or music videos. Reve has no music video

-Seo Yehyeon’s untouchable visuals, I agree. Even if he lacks skills, so what? In the idol world, face is also a skill

-OMG I finally found the cocky smile guy! I kept thinking about his smile and couldn’t function in daily life

-Seriously if they film the next activity’s music video like that crap again, I’m going to LnL with a bat

-The youngest being so tiny among the big hyungs is really cute

-There was a rumor that Ryu Jaehee got kicked out of TK for assault

└Do you have proof?

└Let’s not create rumors unless we’re certain

└Huh? Several TK trainees who trained with Yuje posted congratulations and support messages on Facebook for Yuje’s debut? If Yuje was really a violent criminal, wouldn’t they have cut ties with him? I think?

-Their only song is One Chance? Wasn’t their debut song Come to My Universe or something?

└No no, that’s a girl group song and Reve’s is Come to My Universe

└What’s Come to My Universe? We don’t have a song like that;;

-The viral marketing is so fucking obvious lol

└Stop calling promotional posts viral marketing lol Do you really think this shitty small company that makes low-budget music videos and doesn’t even post schedules has the money and time for viral marketing?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ(myuniverse_yehyun_gif.)

└Wait, is he that idol who talked about the importance of hair and makeup?

└Don’t upload GIFs from music videos that don’t exist;;

See? I told you all the concepts would get flipped.

Seo Yehyeon, who had the reliable eldest hyung concept, became a dance-challenged member who reads the mood of his younger member by one year.

Kim Dobin, who had the team’s comic relief and variety show character concept, became a pitiful guy who’s eager for comedy but unfunny.

Ryu Jaehee, who had the beloved youngest member concept, was established as a poor guy who gets ignored even when acting cute and disappointing.

Only Gyeon Hajun, who had the caring mom concept, remained steadfast without his concept being flipped.

As I scrolled down giggling, Ryu Jaehee stuck his head out to read the text on screen and acted like he knew something.

“Hyung found that too. Don’t you feel anything after reading it?”

“I wonder where exactly fans find your cuteness.”

“Ah, not that. Don’t you feel sorry for this cute youngest member who became someone who acts cute alone and gets ignored?”

“Good for you. Take this opportunity to give up the beloved cute youngest member concept and change it. And I’m more pitiful having to watch the terrible aegyo of a fellow man, dude.”

This was the last advice I could give to Ryu Jaehee, knowing how he would grow in 3 years.

Come to think of it, wasn’t the concept establishment Quest until the next promotion?

They told me to establish a concept that fans want, one tailored for fans. For now, the image of me that fans see from this post is…

‘…Hierarchy breaker?’

Unfortunately, since there’s no more hierarchy for me to break within the team, pushing forward with that was rejected.

“Hmm, what should I make my concept?”

“How about the first post that comes up when you search hyung’s name?”

Have you never seen a kitten in your entire life…?

“…They’re calling me a baby kitten.”

“Ugh…”

“I know it doesn’t suit me too, okay?”

Since I couldn’t possibly make baby kitten my concept, Ryu Jaehee fumbled around and offered his opinion as I pondered again.

“Then how about a twist image where you look bad-tempered, but actually you’re a fool who gets picked on by your younger members?”

“Don’t state your wishful thinking. What the fans want, the fans, tsk.”

“Ack! Ack! At least this image of beating up the youngest member is definitely not what the fans want…!”

Of course, it wasn’t helpful at all.

What foolish nonsense. One hierarchy breaker in the team is enough, you bastard.
