Regression Manual for Idols Who Lost Their Original Intent Chapter 272

 

 

As his well-defined abs and solid arm muscles were revealed, not only did the producers go wild clapping, but the viewers’ reactions were explosive as well.

 

-Shocking! There’s an idol showing abs for the first time in Hip-Hop Survival!?

-No way Eden lololol Why does he keep doing all these first reveals on DTB lololololol Though I’m enjoying watching it lololololol

-For the first time, watching DTB has become difficult

-The chest exposure was fine, but showing his stomach is a bit…

-I’m glad I watched the live broadcast, glad I’m alive

-Wow those abs are killer

-Am I watching Hip-Hop Survival or M Countdown

-How bold must G-TE be to mess with the owner of those muscles

-Damn, eye candy

-Only the brave who can handle seeing the results get to witness Eden’s abs-revealing crop top

-Being an idol isn’t easy either

-This is making me lose my mind lolololololololol

-What are the producers doing? Hurry up and threaten to eliminate him if he doesn’t put his clothes back on

-Is this okay for broadcast standards…?

 

But that was only momentary – when Yoon Eden pulled something out of his pants pocket, the reactions that had been focused on his abs-revealing crop top shifted in that direction.

 

[A piece of paper suddenly appears?]

[He unfolds it… and reads it?]

 

-Why is he suddenly acting like that?

-Shocking! The first person in DTB history to blatantly cheat with lyrics on stage actually exists

└Probably the first in all Korean audition survivals

-Eden, do you think DTB is a joke?

-The camera isn’t showing the inside of the paper, it’s 100% blank

-Is he reading lyrics right now because he couldn’t memorize them?

-He should just freestyle instead, why is he being crazy like this

-The lyrics are good, but rather than cheating, wouldn’t it be better to freestyle even if the lyric quality drops?

-Isn’t that actually blank paper?

 

At the appearance of such a brazen cheat sheet, December, who was Yoon Eden’s opponent, couldn’t hide his shocked momentum and turned to look at Yoon Eden.

The camera briefly caught December trying to lean back and check the front of the paper Yoon Eden was looking at, then immediately switched to the murmuring producers as if to show December’s expression.

Some had serious expressions, while others burst into laughter of disbelief.

 

[G1: What, is he reading that right now?]

[BQ9: …What is he trying to do?]

[Young Billy: Tsk, this isn’t right. This really isn’t right.]

[D.I: (speechless)]

[Gongchul: Ha, I’m… so dumbfounded I can’t speak?]

[With the appearance of the cheat sheet, all the producers are flustered]

 

-He must have forgotten the lyrics while worrying about his outfit

-He’s doing all sorts of things

-That definitely looks like blank paper though???

└Stop stating your wishful thinking

-If he still beats December and advances after this, I’ll consider it scripted

-I envy that bloated ego and confidence thinking they’d advance him just because he showed his abs to draw aggro while cheating on lyrics

-This is why we shouldn’t have paid attention when he did attention-seeking with outfits, he’s losing his mind

-Until now, we laughed and found it fun when he wore those idol-like clothes because he was good at his main job, but if he can’t even memorize lyrics and comes in those clothes, we’d curse asking if he’s joking around

-I hated seeing DTB turn into that guy’s fashion show instead of Hip-Hop Survival, so this is good, let’s eliminate him this time

-The limits of an idol rapper who wasn’t as desperate as underground rappers tsk tsk

 

Despite the producers’ reactions, Yoon Eden stubbornly continued looking at the paper and reading the lyrics.

His rap skills were flawless, but the act of ‘cheating on lyrics’ itself was a huge minus.

 

[Flash that only shows from the front

It’s no fun if you judge hastily based on just that]

-Huh…? The lyrics seem unusual…?

-Can we expect a plot twist?

 

Just as Moltic was about to raise his hand to stop the beat and rap, Yoon Eden grinned and delivered a triumphant verse before flipping the paper over.

 

[The back is also clean blank paper!]

[There were no lyrics written on the paper from the beginning!]

[A shocking twist that reversed public opinion in an instant!]

 

After showing everyone that both sides were blank, Yoon Eden crumpled the paper and threw it toward the outer shirt he had taken off, then began rapping in earnest.

It was the moment when his too-much toxic look was overshadowed by the blank paper cheating performance.

 

-Praise God Eden! Praise God Eden! Praise God Eden! Praise God Eden! Praise God Eden! Praise God Eden!

-Who dared to trash our hyung for cheating

-Right, there’s no way Yoon Eden couldn’t memorize lyrics and was reading from paper lololol He could just freestyle lolololol

-Shocking blank paper cheating exists

-The timing was insane, revealing the blank paper right before Moltic was about to cut the beat

-Yoon Eden updated another legendary video of the deceased’s lifetime

-If he calculated even the outfit-bashing reactions and came in those ragged poor-looking clothes, he’s just G.O.A.T

└What do you mean ragged poor look, please correct that to a sexy look that only men confident in their bodies can wear

-How far did they go with the design ㄷㄷ Idol rapper + over-the-top idol look + blank cunning = Yoon Iden, is he a god or what

-‘You were expecting it even while pretending not to, the best twist UP’

└One-shot calling out the producers and viewers who expected Yupi’s underdog rebellion in the 3rd preliminaries lolololol

└This is hip hop

-The twist was so shocking I momentarily forgot his clothes were in that state;; I wondered why so much skin was showing

-See, I said it would be blank paper lololololol

-Wow, Yupi’s twist isn’t even a twist anymore

-I’m grateful Dub Net eliminated Yoon Eden in the 3rd round, we almost missed this insane big picture twist performance

└But Yupi could have shown an amazing twist too

└This worked because the outfit contributed to the twist, but would Yupi have abs? He obviously doesn’t look like he has any damn

 

Whether the producers were clapping and exclaiming in amazement or not, Yoon Eden finished his rap with a shameless face until the end.

 

[D.I: Hey, you scared me!]

[←Cold sweat on his nose proving it’s true]

 

As soon as the beat ended, D.I jumped up and pointed at Yoon Eden while shouting.

 

-Yongcheol’s lifespan shortened by about 10 years lolololololol

-Even if I were D.I., I would’ve broken out in cold sweat lololol

 

[BQ9: I really thought there were lyrics written there too until he showed the back.]

 

-Your ‘faith’ in God Eden is lacking

-Damn, after last season’s BQ Nine praise squad, now it’s Yoon Eden’s praise squad?

-Isn’t this like ink that can only be seen with the mind’s eye?

 

Finally, Yoon Eden fumbled around and put on the jacket he had thrown off.

 

-Eden, don’t zip it up

-Hurry up and zip it, protect my vision please

 

[G1: Zip it, zip it. Pull the zipper up again, quickly.]

[Eden obediently follows]

 

-I curse G1…

-G1 hyung, you’re the savior of my eyeballs!

 

[Wonbaek: By any chance… is that outfit targeting us?]

[Yoon Eden: No way.]

[Wonbaek: Right? It’s not, right?]

[Re-lief]

 

-Hmm… the fact that he’s questioning whether the outfit is targeting him…

-Yoon Eden has a brain too, would he really think the producers would fall for some guy’s abs?

-From the moment he suspects the fan service might be for him, Wonbaek is already falling for it

└Becoming Daydream

-I’m giving up on coming up with nicknames now. Beret guy->Bunny hat guy->Cleavage guy->Abs guy. What the hell, a new legend gets updated every week

 

[Gongchul: No, didn’t he write it with ink that shows when light hits it? Give me that paper.]

[~Time to examine the evidence~]

[Gongchul: It really is blank paper. The performance was insane.]

 

-Why is he being suspicious when even viewers aren’t

-If they don’t check properly, people will say he wrote it with ink that shows under camera lights, so they’re addressing it

 

After a brief producer meeting, Moltic finally picked up the microphone.

 

[Moltic: The winner who will advance from this revival match is…]

 

-Obviously Yoon Eden

-If they eliminate Yoon Eden and put December through, I’ll consider it scripted

-How do you beat a blank paper cunning performance

└+abs-exposing crop tee toxic look

 

[Moltic: Congratulations, Eden. We’ll see you on the next stage.]

[Yoon Eden: Thank you.]

[December: Good work.]

 

Yoon Eden and December greeted each other backstage, and their interviews proceeded.

 

[Q. How do you feel?]

[December: Like I got K.O.’d in martial arts. How do you beat that. I was applauding while watching Yupi’s stage saying the plot twist was killer, but I never thought I’d end up in the same situation against the same person, haha…]

[Q. Any thoughts you had while going through the revival match?]

[Yoon Eden: I thought of it as another opportunity to have good competition on stage, so it was pretty good.]

[Q. Any final words?]

[Yoon Eden: Final words? Our Rev Eldest Hyung who provided the idea, thank you.]

 

Extending only his thumb and index finger, Yoon Eden shot a love bullet at the camera and winked with one eye.

 

-So it was Yehyeon’s idea lolololololol

-As expected, our smart Bambi!

-This Rev Eldest Hyung person provides ideas and gets death threats about being shot with a gun

-Is there something wrong with my eyes if Yoon Eden looks fresh?

└Me too, but I think something’s wrong from looking at the toxic look too long

 

* * *

 

“Ahhh! I got winked at by Yoon Eden! He’s so unnecessarily fresh that I got goosebumps on my arms!”

“Why is he acting like that? He’s just giving thanks for the idea and making a fuss.”

 

* * *

 

After the revival match ended, the cypher mission footage was immediately revealed.

 

[Skoen: I came after being told there’s a guerrilla mission.]

 

Skoen strode into the prepared filming location, looked around, and muttered when he saw the rappers who had already arrived.

 

[Skoen: What, both of them made it through over there?]

 

As the camera followed his gaze, it showed Yoon Eden in a three-piece formal suit and Yupi in a loose sweatshirt.

 

-As expected, Yoon Eden doesn’t disappoint today either

-Why doesn’t he have any middle ground, he was just wearing clothes that barely covered his chest and now he’s all bundled up again

-Wow, so damn cool

 

[MC: The guerrilla mission introduced for the first time in Season 4, Cypher!]

[Cypher – A performance where multiple rappers gather and rap impromptu]

 

Since the rappers all knew what it was, they briefly explained the concept of cypher with subtitles for the viewers, then the MC explained the rules of this guerrilla mission.

 

[Total time limit is 10 minutes]

[The person who grabs the microphone first gets priority for that beat]

[Forgetting lyrics results in elimination]

[Not filling the minimum time of 15 seconds also results in elimination]

[Not rapping within the time limit also results in elimination]

 

-DTB introduced something stupid again

-If they’re going to do this, why set a time limit? People will just fight physically to grab the microphone

-Isn’t this going to turn into a real brawl? I can clearly see what kind of picture Dub Net wants

 

[Freehit Style: Wow, this is a bit… If the people in front use up 30 seconds each, won’t the people behind run out of time?]

[Nijeous: This doesn’t seem like fair play. If you can’t grab the microphone, it’s over.]

 

As soon as the beat started, Yupi was the first to reach for the microphone, snatching it and beginning to rap.

The personal interview was cross-edited with the scene of him snatching the microphone first.

 

[Yupi: Pretty easy. Sorry. I just need to grab the microphone with the first swing. Like this.]

 

-Damn, as expected, quick reflexes bb

-The satisfaction of him not giving a damn about other rappers playing mind games and just snatching the microphone right away is insane lololololol

-Yupi is so likeable these days lololol

 

The microphone left Yupi’s hands. It was the beginning of the real mic battle.
