Regression Manual for Idols Who Lost Their Original Intent Episode 268

 

 

Even after showing the shocking result of the 1st place being eliminated by the 54th place in the first match, the 1-on-1 matches continued.

 

[LO6: I’m 53rd place, I choose Skoen.]

[The 53rd place has chosen the 2nd place!]

 

LO6, who was 53rd place, also chose Skoen, who was 2nd place, without a moment’s hesitation.

People expecting another reversal in a similar setup to the previous match, and those hoping to see the overwhelming victory they had expected but unfortunately couldn’t witness in the previous battle.

Either way, it was quite an exciting match that could continue the heat from the first match without dampening it.

 

[Skoen: Oh, should I be a little nervous too?]

 

Skoen, who was chosen, stood up with a grin. As he walked with a confident face, the murmuring voices of the participants behind him played like background music.

 

[Nijeous: Can we see another reversal?]

[Samsu (52nd place): Why is everyone doing this!]

 

Samsu, who was 52nd place and next in line, despaired while clutching his head.

 

-Samsu, you know what happens if you don’t choose 3rd place, right?

-This hyung believes our Samsu isn’t that clueless

 

LO6 and Skoen took the stage, and LO6’s brief individual interview with a determined face passed by.

 

[LO6: I’m not even thinking about a reversal, I have to give my best effort.]

 

However, this match didn’t have the same reversal as the first one.

Instead, it was enough to satisfy the expectation of seeing a strong championship candidate show an overwhelming skill difference and easily surpass their opponent.

 

-This is what an honorable defeat looks like

-Finally, the meaning of honorable defeat has returned from “honorably killing the opponent” back to “dying honorably”

-As expected, there’s no reversal this time. It would have been legendary if even Skoen was eliminated in the 3rd round

└Stop talking nonsense about reversals. Yoon Eden’s elimination was 100% Dubnet’s script

└Just accept the results, seriously annoying

└Anyone could see that Yoon Eden was objectively one level above

└People who believe Yupi’s victory was scripted probably also believe in flat earth theory, right?

-Skoen going easy on his opponent out of consideration is so cool

-It’s a bit unfortunate that Skoen became just fodder for an honorable defeat

-Dubnet, you idiots, you should have made Skoen fall here too and had him face Yoon Eden in the revival match

└No, damn it, if Yupi fought so intensely with Yoon Eden that it caused this chaos, and LO6 can’t even reach Skoen’s toenails, how could you make Skoen fall?

└Seeing how even Skoen’s match is being overshadowed by the Yoon Eden and Yupi match, it seems Yupi’s big picture really worked

 

[AJA: Congratulations, Skoen. We’ll see you in the next round.]

[Skoen wins!]

 

It was the result everyone expected. If the same result as the first match had occurred, it would have been explosive in a different sense.

 

[Eliminated Contestant Interview]

[LO6: He’s a rapper I personally respect, so I wanted to be on the same stage with him at least once. It was an honor to perform like this.]

 

LO6 smiled with a relieved face, showing not a trace of regret.

 

-This is the true hip hop respect spirit

-The first match was so crazy with dopamine that we forget, but this match was actually insane too

-Skoen tore it up lololol

 

[Skoen: It was a good battle. You did well. Don’t get too hung up on rankings.]

[LO6: …Thank you.]

 

Skoen, who came down from the stage alongside LO6, patted the back of LO6, who couldn’t meet my eyes at all, and gave him hearty praise.

Of course, what Skoen added after mentioning not getting hung up on rankings, “Anyway, this is all for broadcast,” was cleanly edited out.

 

-Damn, it’s too heartwarming, not stimulating enough

└Anyone listening would think Yupi and Yoon Eden grabbed each other by the collar as soon as they came down lololol

 

[Skoen: This year’s DTB is going to be quite interesting.]

 

-The strong championship candidate says last year was boring

-Seems like he’s trying to show us something

└There’s already someone who showed us something – idol look + rabbit hat + chest cleavage

└The lineup is dizzying, wonder what will come out next

└He’s eliminated so we can’t see more

└It’s fine, he’ll 100% come back up in the revival match

-Isn’t he saying this while being conscious of Yupi and Yoon Eden?

 

Next, 51st place Samsu, who took the microphone, boldly broke the tradition of consecutively choosing top-ranked contestants that had continued up to his turn.

 

[Samsu: 51st place, I choose BT.]

[Samsu has chosen BT, who was right above his ranking!]

 

BT, who was chosen, stood up with a somewhat relieved expression.

 

-Samsu, do you want to die?

-Ah, Samsu has no sense

-There was always one loser friend like that in every class who would break the flow and ruin the mood

-Thanks for the 3 years, guys

-Why are you being mean to Samsu? The idol rapper is upset about someone ranked above him and wants to challenge them head-on

-If you’re going to go for someone’s head, you should have gone for Yoon Eden’s head. Who cares about some 51st place idol rapper’s head lol

└Yoon Eden’s head was already taken by Yupi

└It was taken by Dubnet, damn it

└Stop it already

└What do you mean stop? I’m fucking pissed watching them trash Yoon Eden while praising Yupi

 

[Samsu: Having an idol rapper above me is a bit… Just go home. Oh wait, is it the dormitory, not home?]

[BT: There should be at least one idol rapper advancing to the finals. I’m going to try to fill that role too.]

 

For interviews that were as dramatic as if it would be the battle of the century, the match between the two lower-ranked contestants was lukewarm.

 

-Whether you’re BT or ET, you don’t need to try so hard to cover Yoon Eden’s share too. DTB will take care of reviving Yoon Eden through the revival round anyway, so stop your unnecessary worrying and meddling

└For real lol What’s with a homeless person worrying about a building owner lololol

-Hmm boring

-Acorn height comparison shit lololololololol

-A case where ambitions were grand but skills couldn’t support them

-It is funny though lololol

 

[Moltic: Whew, it was extremely difficult to decide.]

 

-Agreed, it must be hard when both are so mediocre

-Drop BT and make him face Yoon Eden in the revival round. Let’s see an idol rapper battle royale

 

[Young Billy: Congratulations, Samsu.]

[Samsu wins!]

 

Even while viewers were still fired up over the results of Yoon Eden and Yupi’s battle, the nominations and matches continued.

 

[G-TE: So it comes down to me making the nomination. Since it’s come to this, I’ll show you properly. That giving me 22nd place was a misjudgment.]

 

G-TE, who gave a confident interview with a smile, confidently nominated 5th place who hadn’t been chosen yet.

 

[G-TE: I nominate 5th place, December.]

 

December lifted his butt from the chair with a rather lukewarm expression.

 

[December: Hmm… Really?]

[G-TE: We’re both 7PASS anyway, so is there a need to feel that bad about it?]

 

-Why does G-TE act so relaxed like this but becomes a chihuahua only in front of Yoon Eden

-It’s really a mystery why they stuck G-TE in 22nd place

-They probably wanted to create this narrative of 22nd place beating 5th place

-But the all-time legend of 54th place beating 1st place came out in the first match and failed miserably!

 

[AJA: The winner of this one-on-one match is… G-TE!]

[G-TE wins!]

 

-If G-TE had shown this match as the opening act, it would have been a hot topic tsk tsk

└No no, even if it was first, it would have been 100% buried

-It would have been a legendary match if not for Yupi and Yoon Eden

 

With that, the third preliminary round, one-on-one matches ended and next week’s preview came out.

 

[Next week!]

[Moltic: It would be a shame to end it like this. So we’ll give you one more chance with a revival round.]

 

Six eliminated contestants standing side by side, given another chance by DTB. Among them, Yoon Eden wore a sports jersey with three distinctive stripes, zipped up to his neck.

Compared to the flashy outfit lineup he’d shown so far, it was an incredibly modest and ordinary hip hop fashion.

Of course, it was undeniable that this was the fashion that suited him best among all the clothes he’d worn.

 

[Wonbaek: What do we do if they put them together like this again!]

 

Wonbaek cried out while pulling at his hair.

Since all the eliminated contestants selected for the revival round were already shown, everyone knew that Yoon Eden wasn’t the subject of that aggro.

Because no matter who among them was matched up, it would be hard to compete with Yoon Eden.

 

[MC: The guerrilla mission introduced for the first time in Season 4, it’s a cypher!]

[Skoen: Mic battle? Let’s see you try to take it.]

[Yupi: Pretty easy. Regrettable.]

[DROT THE BEAT SEASON 4 Ep. 4 – Revival & Cypher]

 

-Mic battle? What kind of unreasonable digging has DTB introduced now

-Yoon Eden was doing concept acting with his outfits, got schooled by Yupi, and now seems to have come to his senses lololol

└Schooled my ass, he probably just didn’t want to look pathetic raising DTB’s ratings

-Revival round come quickly please, I can’t accept the fact that Yoon Eden was eliminated

 

And after DTB 4 Episode 3 ended, the reaction exploded to legendary levels throughout Seasons 1-4.

I had no interest in DTB personally but now that 2E got eliminated, why am I so pissed?

I watched it and 2E did way better, is DTB starting their script manipulation again?

What if Yoon Eden leaves after making chest-exposing open shirts the final fashion trend

November @November

At least it’s fortunate that skinny guys don’t wear it much

The open shirt fashion trend completion included ‘chest exposure’ so only guys confident in their physique wear it to show off

 

-Just look at the subtitles talking about “underdog rebellion” bullshit and you’ll get your answer lol Yoon Ideun was just used as a stepping stone to boost UP lol

-D.I. was the one who did the Yupi bashing, and honestly, objectively speaking, Yupi is good too. Isn’t his skill almost at Skoen’s level?

-If Yupi is at Skoen’s level, then Yoon Eden is at Moltic’s level, damn. Honestly, Yoon Eden has the skill where no one could complain even if he were a producer

-There must be a reason the judges chose Yupi. Would they manipulate the match results with a script when they obviously know it’s going to be broadcast?

-We’re on season 4 of DTB and you still don’t know Dubnet? The saying “evil editing = Dubnet” exists for a reason

 

While the online battle between Yoon Eden versus Yupi was raging, Wnet finally graciously opened an official arena.

Ah, if only Hyoryun-jwa hyung had exposed less cleavage, he would have won

Losing because of cleavage exposure is the academic consensus

└jjskl682

Sigh… if only he had sewn up one button before going on stage…

└CK

Why did he have to wear that cleavage-exposing open shirt anyway

└CK

After watching the video about 100 times, that shirt actually seems kind of decent…?

└Ahah

2 out of 8 judges are Yoon Eden’s acquaintances, but I think Yupi is more impressive for breaking away from connection hip hop and earning victory

└Lee Hanseul

@Ugh, if you know G1, you’d know he’s not the type to just hook up anyone claiming to be his connection lol D.I just joined the producer crew for the first time and is probably reading the room like crazy – does he have the clout to just casually bring in his close friend?

└o h

That damn connection hip hop, shit

Then apply the same standards to Skoen who knows 5 out of 8 judges?

└poizlsf777

From next season, please ban idol rappers from appearing, fuck. Fangirls have really swarmed the hip hop scene. Just admit your oppa got wrecked

└Bunonggoyoung

@poizlsf777 Loser who projects onto Yupi, hi

└Gettheground

@poizlsf777 You have nothing to say so you just label me a fangirl? Even I, who’s not a fangirl, can see it’s Yoon or Seung lol

Honestly, this match result is debatable, but why are all the kids gritting their teeth and bashing Yoon Eden projecting onto Yupi?

They can’t project onto Yoon Eden. It’s amazing they don’t get PTSD just looking at Yoon Eden’s face

└Hwang Gijun

Still, isn’t attacking Yupi’s appearance going too far?

└ktroo426

@황기준 I never said a single word about Yupi’s appearance though? Did I hit a nerve? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Iguanidon

He can’t wear open shirts because he has no cleavage, understand

 

user-dsfljsdfnk • 17 hours ago

Honestly, in the first match, Yupi’s impact was so strong that Yoon Eden got somewhat overshadowed, can’t deny that

But in the rematch, Yoon Eden tore it up. This honestly needs to be acknowledged. I understand the producers gave Yupi the decision win because of impact, but bashing Yoon Eden saying he deserved to lose seems wrong

└Park Junyoung

Why are there so many armchair judges? Yupi won, that’s that

└user-dsfljsdfnk

@Park Junyoung Do you have reading comprehension issues? I said I understand giving Yupi the win. I’m talking about people bashing Yoon Eden. Why are you calling me an armchair judge?

└blug_king51

True, Yoon Eden had some recognition from appearing as a feature last season, and Yupi was unknown, so like D.I. said, the impact was more amplified

I hummed while looking at the blazing YouTube comment section. This also counted as a Search Quest among my weekly quests.

Yeah, keep this heat going so people stop spouting nonsense about me getting wrecked by Yupi!
