Regression Manual for Idols Who Lost Their Original Intent Episode 283

The DTB Season 4 group mission music release happened almost simultaneously with the broadcast’s end.

Killing Beat- Yoon Eden, Raizo, Toohyeok, Nijeous

IMITATION- Skoen, Parton, Geek Seung, A01

Panorama- Yupi, G-TE, Freehit Style, An Gyeonghoon, Double T

Nightmare- Seven Kick, Choi Hwa, YISIK, Sapo

Feel Good- IJM, Ha Minseo, No Name, NP

Five songs were uploaded to each music site with covers identical to Season 3, differing only in the season number.

Despite the late hour of midnight, the music streaming numbers rose at a very rapid pace.

-Just from the song title, you can feel that Seven Kick’s group incorporated their experiences well into the song

└They did give the viewers watching a nightmare too

└Even if YISIK’s lyrics are terrible, let’s definitely vote for him. It’s the final loyalty toward YISIK who struggled alone to lift the team atmosphere among those idiots

└What loyalty? It’s natural to endure since he chose that team himself

-Seven Kick’s group fought so hard to release a song with this kind of quality? Tsk tsk

-Skoen’s group delivered as well as expected

-Skoen’s group’s song seems like it was seriously produced by a real label, not just a music mission

-For Yupi’s group, it would have been better to keep the hook short like G-TE suggested. The hook isn’t particularly addictive and the song is just too long, making it tiring to listen to toward the end

-IJM brought a decent beat but lost in both broadcast screen time and song impact to Seven Kick. You can’t even call this mediocre, seriously

-Wait, what’s with Yoon Eden’s group’s music??? How can that trash from the live broadcast become like this???

-What level of upgrade is this? It’s not even an ugly duckling becoming a swan

-What if they kill the beat after bringing it to life like this?

└They must have brought it to life to kill it. You can’t kill a beat that’s already dead

-Yoon Eden’s group’s music is a reversal on par with Yupi in the 3rd preliminary round by my standards. Really, after hearing the 1st recording on the live broadcast, I thought this group was done for, but the final version is seriously not improvement but evolution level

-Yoon Eden, is he a god! Yoon Eden, is he a god! Yoon Eden, is he a god! Yoon Eden, is he a god!

-It’s more likable seeing how he clearly accepted G1’s advice with the mid-check privilege he won by risking his DTB life and fixed the lacking parts

-I guess Love Actually worked. Toohyeok’s tone is finally properly adjusted. His part was seriously so bad I was mourning his confirmed elimination

DTB4 [Episode 6] ‘Karaoke Room Love Actually with the Lowest Budget in Team Building’ Yoon Eden’s Group @Music Group Mission EP.06 20XX0803

Scenes like the team building events that were edited out due to runtime issues were uploaded as YouTube clips on the Wnet channel.

The question was whether these clip videos could overturn the image shown only in the broadcast and influence the music chart performance.

-If Seven Kick’s group had this aired, they could have received some consideration, but they cut this out tsk tsk

-One-line review: Skoen’s group – had fun, Yupi’s group – seemed like they wanted to show having fun but failed because the awkwardness was too obvious, Seven Kick’s group – you feed us sweet potatoes and think it’s okay if you resolve it among yourselves? IJM’s group – really boring, only fun for themselves, Yoon Eden’s group – felt like watching a movie

└The movie you watched wasn’t Love Actually by any chance?

└Love Actually cost-effective Korea ver.

-The karaoke Love Actually scene is still amazing to watch again ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Unfortunately, the full team building videos weren’t enough to dramatically affect the music chart performance. The hate toward Seven Kick’s group decreased only slightly.

Even here, everyone focused on the diss battle confession attack, the second confession attack from the one who sent someone home, and the cost-effective Love Actually.

DTB4 [Episode 6] ‘DTB Participant Coolly Dissing DTB’ Yoon Eden @Group Leader Guerrilla Mission Solo Performance EP.06 20XX0803

And the solo performance clips from the group leader guerrilla mission.

Breaking everyone’s expectation that only Yoon Eden’s video wouldn’t be uploaded, Wnet even gave it the title ‘DTB Diss’ and uploaded the video.

-Wow ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I thought for sure they wouldn’t upload any of Yoon’s performances on Dub Net

└Look at those overwhelming views and comments. Wnet would be crazy to give that up

└If they didn’t upload that, I would have stormed Wnet’s website with complaints

└DevNet has succumbed to capitalism lolololololol

-Shit, look at that clip title lol they made it so you can’t resist clicking on it lol

-Ah crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Look how petty they areㅋㅋㅋㅋ They didn’t add lyric subtitles only for Yoon’s partsㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-It’s hot, you idiot ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ If you’re gonna upload it, put subtitles with all the lyrics on it

DTB Season 4 music finally entered the TOP100 and began establishing their positions.

Yoon Eden and Skoen officially released the songs they sang in their solo performances one day after the broadcast.

If Skoen’s song occupied a mid-chart position, then Yoon Eden’s song was…

[1st place- ‘Yoon Eden, Raizo, Toohyeok, Nijeous – Killing Beat’ ♥99,999+]

[2nd place- ‘Yoon Eden – DTBF’ ♥88,162]

[3rd place- ‘Skoen, Parton, Geek Seung, A01 – IMITATION’ ♥99,999+]

-Yoon Eden is competing with his own solo song

-It’s a total win whichever one wins

└No no, since group music mission profits also go to Wnet, DTBF needs to rise up to complete the narrative of screwing over Wnet

-He said he’d write a new solo song and apparently dissed DTB at a level that would make those DTB dropouts go crazy, so how can you not listen to that lol

[11th place- ‘Yupi, G-TE, Freehit Style, An Gyeonghoon, Double T – Panorama’ ♥80,962]

[29th place- ‘Seven Kick, Choi Hwa, YISIK, Sapo – Nightmare’ ♥24,713]

[48th place- ‘IJM, Ha Minseo, No Name, NP – Feel Good’ ♥11,001]

Yupi’s group’s music, which received somewhat disappointing reviews, also positioned itself to potentially aim for the TOP10.

With even the relatively less popular groups’ music entering the top 50, the rankings showed just how much of a trend DTB Season 4 was.

And Yoon Eden’s solo song, which received as much attention as the group mission music, got swept up in an unexpected controversy. It was quickly resolved by a post Yoon Eden made on his social media.

The final F in DTBF is Future, not Fxxk

If you keep spreading rumors that it’s Fxxk, it makes me sad because it seems to distort my heart that loves DTB and worries about DTB’s future

oiujls1210 How is it that just reading text makes me understand what it means to lie without even wetting your lips?

mun_sol Yoon Eden who succumbed to Wnet who succumbed to capitalism

k.dong__jin Hyung, just coolly reveal it’s DTBFUCK and remain an all-time legend

srtongs91 Eden, trying to be considerate now won’t change the fact that you’re the guy who dissed DTB on DTB

jju_young Of course I thought it was Future! There’s no way our baby Goyoung would use such harsh language. She’s someone who doesn’t even swear in daily life ㅠ

da.jun I saw the comment above and thought what nonsense is this? But after listening to Yoon Eden’s DTB rap compilation, there really wasn’t a single beep;; Could our hyung unexpectedly be pure?

adhlik89 Yoon Eden has so many damn reasons to curse at DTB

parkseungjun Strange… I definitely read it naturally as DTBFuck…

eta892132 Are you perhaps disappointed that the mountain climbing outfit and sports goggles trend didn’t catch on?

yoon_eden☑ No way

The day of the group music source mission stage.

After installing all the stage equipment and checking the fit of the group stage costumes we got with the remaining money one more time, I plopped down on the sofa in our assigned waiting room.

“Gyuchan, you’re going to disappear into that phone at this rate.”

When I said this to Nijeous, who was lowering his head almost to the point of burying his nose in his phone and frantically tapping the screen with both thumbs like crazy, he suddenly looked up.

His eyes were full of indignation. Showing me the screen, Nijeous said while fuming.

“These crazy bastards are saying our team’s music source is ranking high because your fangirls are attached to it, so they should deduct 10 places from our ranking when evaluating. So I’m posting rebuttal comments telling them to stop talking nonsense.”

It was just common hate that wasn’t even surprising anymore.

Doesn’t the system attach to bastards like that? Deducting -2 from their common sense every time they say fangirl?

Damn, why do they keep calling other people’s fans fangirls?

I was already annoyed because while doing Search Quests, I saw posts saying that even though DTB is fun, just cheering for me gets you treated as a brainless fangirl with no listening skills by hip-hop fanatics, so I was even considering banging my head during the 3rd debut anniversary live broadcast in a few days.

“We’re about to perform on stage, so why are you getting so worked up and paying attention to that nonsense? If they’re jealous, tell them to work hard and raise the ranking of the hyungs they’re supporting. Don’t post hateful comments and create backlash while damaging our team’s image.”

Toohyeok said sharply, raising his eyebrows. Nijeous pounded the waiting room sofa with his fists and argued.

“What if DTB gets swayed thinking this makes sense and starts us 10 places lower in our team’s music source ranking? Then we’d have to give up 1st place to Skoen’s team. We were just relaxing after barely getting the elimination prevention pass.”

“We don’t know how things might flip until we gather for the ranking evaluation.”

The group music source mission stage is today, but the ranking evaluation continues until the day before Episode 7 airs.

With Skoen’s team about 2 places behind us, and Yupi’s team catching up frighteningly fast, we never knew when we might be overtaken.

That’s why today’s stage is important. Stages often turn things around.

“Yoon Eden’s team, please get ready!”

“Let’s go. Let’s just do well as we practiced.”

Getting up at the staff’s words, I looked around at my temporary teammates. It felt quite empty and disappointing not having Ryu Jaehee here to step up and lead the fighting cheer.
