A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 285

[HIT!] DTB 4 Yupi and Yoon Eden, targeting each other in group music mission?

Yupi’s part lyrics: Unlike someone, I’m not desperate just to catch attention. I show my plot twists again and again even without blank papers

→ Targeting Yoon Eden’s outfit and the blank paper cheating Eden showed in the revival round

Yoon Eden’s part lyrics: Chicks putting strength in their eyes pretending to be tough. Idiots who mistakenly think this whole game is in their hands

Instead of dividing into U-grade and I-grade, think about overturning the game before you become trash

→ Targeting Yupi’s cool act of pretending to master the survival show

Might not be problematic

-First, Yupi’s targeting of Yoon Eden is too obvious and certain, but it’s a bit ambiguous to say Yoon Eden targeted Yupi

-Even if you say the intense stare and all that was just targeting rappers in general, when it comes to “this scene” and all that, it only fits Yupi, just look at this group’s music hook aloneㅋㅋ

-How would Yoon Eden know about Yupi’s group process to throw such targeting in his group mission song?

└G-TE, the best friend and rival of the century, is on Yupi’s team. Actually, G-TE was a spy Eden planted in Yupi’s team

└Even without this mission, wasn’t Yupi’s defensive cool act a regular thing?

-The fact that they specifically called it U-grade instead of A-grade or B-grade is so obviously targeting Yupi lol

└You idiot, anyone can see it’s abbreviations for Underground and Idol. What kind of Yupi is that? Just because it has U, is everything fucking an abbreviation for Yupi? Why don’t you also insist that “going up” in Killing Beat’s lyrics doesn’t mean going upward but going to Yupi?

-Fuck, there are so many DTB controversies this time. Why is there a controversy or conflict every other day?

└’The fate of being popular’

After the group music mission stage ended, a post about targeting lyrics controversy was uploaded to internet communities.

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

Our group’s music mission song was still maintaining 1st place on the chart, and Yupi’s group song that got involved in the controversy was…

[6th place- ‘Yupi, G-TE, Freehit Style, An Gyeonghoon, Double T(TT) – Panorama’ ♥89,997]

‘Oh, already 6th place? The rise is fast.’

It was rapidly climbing the rankings with the targeting controversy buff.

My targeting lyrics were written thinking of before the regression.

I remembered how before the regression, Yupi had slipped in metaphorical targeting lyrics about Skoen in his part of the group music mission.

It was really roundabout and ambiguous metaphor, so after the music was released and someone found it and posted about it, it burned with debates about whether it was targeting or not.

Yupi, who set the controversy on fire and even created an escape route for himself, used that strategy to make his group’s music mission song a hot topic and raise its ranking.

Although he didn’t get 1st place, he was the group leader anyway so he wouldn’t be eliminated, and he secured enough buzz with his name, so Yupi gained only benefits without any losses.

Skoen’s group song also became an issue for a while because of that, but since there was nothing like a diss, it quickly died down.

So this time I expected Yupi would definitely target me. Me, who he chose as a stepping stone to leap forward, and who still rises and falls with him.

However, I found it annoying that he used others as stepping stones, so I also slipped in some light targeting so we could create issues together.

At a level where I could sufficiently escape by denying it and playing dumb.

I didn’t expect Yupi to throw such blatant targeting with his protractor completely shattered.

‘Did he lose his composure?’

That made sense. In DTB Season 4 before regression, when I wasn’t there, Yupi was an unknown rapper who suddenly appeared like a comet in the hip-hop scene and received all attention as a dark horse, completing a two-top system with Skoen.

Plus, with his straightforward words, confident attitude, and results that matched that confidence, he gathered quite a bit of popularity.

But in this Season 4, all that attention came to me instead, so the current attention toward Yupi was halved compared to before regression.

I felt wronged too. It’s not like I wanted to attract attention – it just happened that way while trying to avoid evil editing.

“But this won’t just pass by pleasantly, right? Even I find it a bit unpleasant.”

“Well, I can just deny it, but Yupi was too blatant with his targeting. He must be prepared for people who hate such rude targeting to turn their backs on him.”

I replied nonchalantly to Ryu Jaehee’s words while looking down at the DTB music mission group chat where messages were piling up.

Seeing the warm greetings saying everyone really worked hard during the weeks of work, I finally felt that the team project was over.

“Ugh, now I understand why everyone cringes when they hear ‘team project.'”

I grumbled while recalling the group music mission that had overwhelmingly more difficult memories than good ones.

“If you think about it, isn’t our group activity also a team project? The work process is filmed like DTB since we upload it as making-of or behind-the-scenes videos.”

“That’s true. But at least there’s no risk of evil editing.”

Rather, scenes that could harm the group image or cause controversy are edited out well.

But DTB welcomes those things? They don’t cut them but maximize them even more?

I shook my head remembering Choi Hwa, who cried his eyes out saying the evil editing was really fucking awful even though his group’s conflict wasn’t that bad when it aired.

I was really glad I didn’t have a serious verbal battle with Nijeous.

Just thinking about being edited as an idol rapper with hurt pride still makes cold sweat form on my back.

And is a one-time survival team the same as a team you’ll stick with?

“Come to think of it, the day after tomorrow is Rev’s 3rd debut anniversary. Hyung, there’s no DTB filming that day, right?”

“Yeah, the ranking compilation is on the 9th anyway, so they probably won’t call us on the 8th.”

Ryu Jaehee gathered the members saying let’s plan a debut anniversary live broadcast concept.

“I hereby convene Rev’s 601st meeting! The topic is what to do in the 3rd debut anniversary live broadcast.”

Ryu Jaehee was really something, recording all of this.

“Last time was a potluck party, wasn’t it?”

“That’s right. Though it was buried by that damn cherry cake.”

Ryu Jaehee squinted his eyes. Even I would probably hold a lifelong grudge and never forget if someone served cherry cake to someone who was hospitalized for cherry allergy.

Kim Dobin raised his hand high. Seeing those sparkling eyes, I felt more worry than anticipation about what strange idea he brought this time.

“How about a fashion show of DTB outfits that Eden Hyung wore, to cheer for Eden Hyung this time?”

Yes, Doby. Hyung believed in you. Thanks to Nijeous, you’ve become quite good at roasting now.

Everyone seemed to think it was good, and Kim Dobin’s nose shot up to the sky with applause pouring from all directions.

“Then should we draw lots to randomly wear the outfits?”

“Hey hey hey hey, let’s not do this carelessly with random draws. Let’s have people who would suit them wear them. I want to stop doing draws now.”

I urgently blocked Seo Yehyeon’s opinion by crossing my arms to make an X.

Since I could only use this title of highest fight money holder for being first in draw order, I felt like I’d get neurosis just hearing about draws now.

“Then we need to decide on the outfits first. The outfits that became issues are…”

“BeretbunnyhatcleavagecroptopKingsmanconfessionattackmountainclubpresidentGungYe.”

Kim Dobin recited my DTB epic saga without taking a breath. Then how many are there exactly?

“Huh, there are more than five?”

“Let’s exclude the weird ones, please…”

Seo Yehyeon muttered desperately while rubbing his face with his palm. Gyeon Hajun said seriously to such Seo Yehyeon.

“If we exclude the weird ones, there’s nothing left, hyung.”

Jun…?

August 8th. Rev’s debut anniversary.

It was already the 3rd debut anniversary. Time really flies.

At the live broadcast start signal, I walked in front of the camera wearing an Adidas jersey pulled up to my neck.

“Dream of me. Hello, I’m Rev’s Yoon Eden. To celebrate Rev’s 3rd debut anniversary, I’m greeting you like this to spend this debut anniversary with our Daydream as well.”

I bowed as Rev’s representative and read the text written on the cue card.

“Today there’s a special fashion show to commemorate the 3rd debut anniversary.”

[What about the other members???]

[Hyung, I even downloaded the OA app to see you]

[Fashion show??]

I could see the fans’ real-time chat through the phone placed under the cue card.

“Yes, I’m currently competing hard in the hip-hop survival show DTB. So to cheer me on, the members are going to showcase my DTB looks that became issues here.”

[No mountain climbing outfit, right?????]

[Not the Gung Ye look, right??????]

[If the mountain climbing outfit comes out after saying this, I’m really going to cry]

[Eden, why didn’t you wear it when you’re the one involved ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]

[Please just no Gung Ye]

[The moment the mountain climbing outfit and sports goggles appear, I’m ready to burn my dad’s sports goggles]

[Even if there are mountain climbing outfits and Gung Ye looks, please don’t let my kid be the one who gets picked for those, please]

“What’s wrong with the frontrunner leadership look and Gung Ye look? They weren’t that bad, were they?”

[When I first saw the Gung Ye look, I thought it was eighth-grader syndrome]

[The mountain climbing outfit is indefensible]

Well, what can you do.

“The first fashion we’ll showcase became a big issue with its unexpected charm. The very outfit that gave me the nickname ‘sold-out man’!”

[Beret??]

[It’s the beret!]

[Beret!!!!!]

As soon as I finished my comment, Kim Dobin confidently walked out. Every time he pressed down on the bottom of his hat, the rabbit ears perked up playfully.

Kim Dobin struck adorable poses in front of the camera to showcase the fashion, then came to stand next to me.

[Oh, it’s a bunny hat lololol]

[When Yoon Rida wore it, I wondered what it was, but it really suits Dobin perfectly]

[It’s supposed to be a surprising outfit, but the model made the surprise disappear lol]

“It’s the model student look with a rabbit hat. It would have been perfect if we had recreated the light pink hair too, but that’s a bit disappointing.”

“I don’t want to worry about a sparse scalp alongside Eden hyung just yet…”

“It’s not sparse yet, man! I don’t have hair loss yet!”

I thrust my bleached hair’s crown, which I had root-dyed a few days ago, in front of the camera. Kim Dobin frantically stopped me, saying he had misspoken.

“But what did this sell out? I remember the beret selling out. Was it this popular rabbit hat?”

“Glasses.”

“Oh, right. I bought them too.”

I continued the fashion show with Kim Dobin nodding with a dumb expression beside me.

“The second fashion we’ll showcase is, ah. This was also quite an issue-making fashion. What was my elimination reason?”

“Chest cleavage!”

Kim Dobin perfectly caught my cue.

“Yes, that’s right. Chest cleavage. Please come out!”

Gyeon Hajun walked out confidently wearing an open shirt that highlighted his chest cleavage. Kim Dobin whistled.

“Woohoo, it suits you so well! It’s totally custom-made for Hajun hyung!”

“Ah, so that means… it didn’t suit me when I wore it?”

The chat window was flooded with “ㅋ”s at my quiet murmur.

“No! Eden hyung has a naturalness that makes it seem like he was born wearing it…!”

“That’s just random word salad, Dobin.”

Gyeon Hajun rescued Kim Dobin, who was desperately making excuses, from my clutches.

[Wow but his chest cleavage is really full]

[Right, if only men like that walked around, we wouldn’t call it Yoon Eden disease, we’d even change the name to Yoon Eden blessing]

[As expected, when a man with a good body wears it, even the fit is different]

I looked away from the chat praising Gyeon Hajun and continued the fashion show.

“The third fashion became famous along with a movie quote. Manner maketh man, please come out!”

The model who won the coolest three-piece suit walked out confidently.
