A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 290

 

[Skoen: Oh, cool. Totally an ending stage.]

 

As Yoon Eden’s team’s stage ended, the subtitles announced the end of the group music mission stages, concluding with Skoen clapping while watching from the waiting room monitor.

 

[Five teams’ stages complete!]

 

Then interviews were conducted with the producers who had been watching the participants’ skills and abilities for the producer team selection.

 

[Q. Which stage was most impressive?]

[G1: . The way that recording transformed like that… they really don’t disappoint.]

[AJA: Yoon Eden’s team. Because I made that beat. It was an extremely difficult beat to bring to life, but they did it so well.]

[Young Billy: It has to be Yoon Eden’s team… Skoen’s team did really well too. But it’s clearly the difference between having a lot of team producing experience or not. If Skoen’s team made a well-harmonized ‘team track’ where individual personalities were suppressed and no one stood out, Yoon Eden’s team made a ‘track’ where the team members’ strengths really shone while their personalities blended well together. That was the deciding factor.]

[BQ9: really left a strong impression. In many ways. The stage arrangement to prevent focus on just one person too.]

[BQ9: And the stage that was a bit disappointing was Yupi’s team? I could tell they wanted to benchmark our team from Season 3, but this only has meaning if the hook is truly powerful. If they had accepted their team members’ advice, couldn’t a better song have come out? I had some regret about that. Since we had the common point of five team members, I was watching with a somewhat supportive heart.]

 

-It’s not easy to get unanimous agreement like this, amazing

-That’s because both the track and stage turned out so well

-Yoon Eden said it was revenge time and really got proper revenge for the 3rd preliminary round, especially with Yupi making the blunder of direct targeting

 

[MC: We will announce the live voting results.]

 

The results showed Raizo, Parton, Freehit Style, Choi Hwa, and NP were designated as eliminated due to receiving the lowest votes from each team.

 

-The sandpaper survived before the lyrics hahahahaha

-Everyone must have really hated seeing Choi Hwa, saving the guy who made mistakes on stage and killing Choi Hwa

-Parton could have avoided elimination if only the stage went well, what a shame

-Yoon Eden’s team had their faces all covered so you couldn’t see them, didn’t they just vote randomly?? Do the voters all know Raizo’s part???

└Even just listening to the track, he was the worst among the four

 

[MC: Who will be the final survivor among the five!]

 

As the track rankings were announced, the final eliminated contestant was called immediately. The spotlight poured on Raizo, the final survivor.

Amid the farewell greetings with the eliminated contestants, Raizo was caught on camera standing awkwardly with his team members.

 

-Raizo was truly a pioneer lol Even though Yoon Eden got beaten up in that 4-on-1 diss battle, he stubbornly chose Yoon Eden’s crew and survived ㄷㄷ

-The eliminated rappers must be beating themselves up with regret right now lololol They kept dissing Yoon for being an idol rapper and avoiding picking him for their teams lolololol

-If he barely survives like that and then gets dropped in team selection, that would be legendary in its own way

 

[Finally approaching gateway right before the finals]

[Time for producer team selection!]

[Choosing isn’t the end! Team formation only happens when you’re chosen back!]

[MC: Participants, please choose your desired producer team.]

 

The participants chose their desired producer teams, either without hesitation or after long deliberation.

 

-I thought Skoen would definitely choose the team with Young Billy

-Stop putting down our hyung saying he chose to get connection buffs, connections are also skill, you bastards

-IJM Gongchul is from the same label lol Yeah, it would be disappointing if DTB didn’t have any nepotism hip hop, so that’s why I’m rooting for Yupi even if it’s dirty and petty as fuck

-No Name is friends with BQ Nine??? Really???

└ Yeah, they’re in the same crew like Yoon Eden and DI

-Yoon Eden will probably just pick either DI or G1 anyway, I don’t know if this is a hip-hop survival show or a connections survival show tsk tsk

 

Team selections continued, and soon it was Yoon Eden’s turn.

 

[Yoon Eden: I’ll select a team. The team I choose is…]

[Continuing in 60 seconds!]

 

-Fuck, they’re showing ads here????

-100% Wonbaek & D.I., they even prepared stages together in Season 3, it’s 100%

-If it were me, I couldn’t give up G1’s featuring squad

-Ah so who is it

 

After a brief 60-second commercial break, the broadcast resumed by showing the previous scene again. In the center of everyone’s focused attention, Yoon Eden finally announced the team name.

 

[Yoon Eden: Team Gongchul & BQ9.]

 

-???????

-Suddenly Gongchul & BQ Nine

-Was the rumor about fighting with D.I. and their relationship falling apart true?

-I really never imagined he’d go there

-Look at No Name and IJM’s faces lololol

-Did he give up on G1 thinking he couldn’t compete with connection power?

└What nonsense, Yoon Eden could easily advance to finals round 2 with skill alone regardless of who’s on G1’s team

-But really why????

-Did he deliberately choose a team with no connections because he didn’t want to hear he advanced to finals round 2 through connections?

 

[Team Gongchul & BQ9 Interview]

[Gongchul: Whew, we never thought about it. We weren’t even expecting it. Is this what they call a gourd rolling in on a vine?]

[BQ9: Honestly, I thought we were the team with the least merit, but why us specifically…?]

[Gongchul: Gyuin, why are you suddenly dissing us.]

[BQ9: Bluntly speaking, we’re not a winner-producing team, our featuring recruitment isn’t amazing, we’re not the previous season winner, and we have one new producer who’s a runner-up from a previous season.]

[Gongchul: Uh… looking at it this way, our team really had no merit.]

 

-As expected, BQ9’s diss skills are still going strong lol

-True, at least Wonbaek and DI’s teams have the merit of being the team that produced last season’s winner & having the previous season’s winner as producer, but here…ㅋㅋㅋ

└BQ Nine is also super popular, and his skills go without saying

-Those guys who went there targeting networking hip-hop were probably humming happily thinking it would be easy pickings, then suddenly a top predator descends lololololol serves them right lolololol

-Since it’s come to this anyway, make good decisions and let’s be the team that produces a winner this season

 

[Q. Why did you choose Team Gongchul & BQ9?]

[Yoon Eden: Because I wanted to see Yongcheol hyung’s sad face for not becoming a winner-producing team? Just kidding.]

 

Yoon Eden shrugged his shoulders and chuckled.

 

-Why is his reason like that…? Even if that’s a joke, the fact that he thinks like that…

└It’s better than wanting to see hyung’s bright smiling face or crying face

-Wanting to see a sad face, is that a signal that he really fought with D.I.?

 

[Yoon Eden: I chose Team Gongchul & BQ9 because I wanted to reduce even the slightest possibility of my skills being questioned.]

 

-My prediction was right lololol what fight, there’s no fight lmao

-I know Yongcheol well and he’s not that petty of a guy

-Honestly, whether he joined G1’s team or D.I.’s team, no one would say Yoon Eden made it to the main round 2nd stage through connections, but I seriously respect him for choosing the thorny path

└As expected, the basic attitude of hip hop is respect

-His mindset is so cool, Skoen and IJM and No Name should learn from him, these guys have worse mentality than idol rappers

-Connections are skill my ass lol Some people chose places without connections because they didn’t want their actual abilities to be undermined, but here you are insisting that connections are also a skill, what a try-hard move lol

-According to the logic of those defending Skoen, Yoon Eden is competing with 20% of his skills tied up? From now on, if I see anyone putting down Yoon Eden, they’re dead

 

After the interviews, the producer teams proceeded to select participants.

 

[Team Gongchul & BQ9, chose to take all four members!]

 

-Here, I really can’t predict who will make it to the main round 2nd stage

-If they abandon Yoon Eden to promote their own connections, neither Gongchul nor BQ Nine will be able to show their faces next season

-The main round 2nd stage will be Yoon Eden and one of those three

 

[Team G1 & AJA, selected three members!]

 

-Raizo barely survived only to fall here of all places…

-Oh, Yupi and Geek Seung will definitely advance to the main round 2nd stage

 

With that, the producer team formation ended and moved to the preview screen announcing the end of the broadcast.

 

[Next week!]

[The preliminaries are over!]

[Finally entering the main rounds!]

[Fierce competition begins in earnest!]

[DROP THE BEAT SEASON 4 Ep.8- Main Round 1st Stage: Intra-team Competition]

 

Scenes of participants standing on stage quickly flashed by, ending next week’s preview.

 

-Wow, thanks to Yoon Eden, the main round 1st stage will be worth watching

-They already filmed up to the main round 1st stage? What happened to the music source ranking evaluation? What’s the criteria?

-I just saw Yoon Eden in that mountain club president look, that’s definitely a rerun from a previous episode

Just one day after episode 7 aired, filming for the main round 1st stage began.

Gongchul made a bombshell announcement to the four gathered in the studio.

“Our team has four members, right? So instead of individual evaluations, we’re going to divide into 2v2 for evaluation. Please form pairs and let us know.”

Was it like this before my regression too? I only skimmed through the team selection, so my memory is quite hazy.

“Hey, Seven Kick. Let’s team up-“

“Team up with me. Is that okay? Or is there someone else you want to work with?”

Seven Kick cut off IJM’s words as he looked at me requesting to be on the same team, and tapped me while speaking.

IJM’s eyebrows twitched, seemingly uncomfortable with that behavior.

“No, not particularly.”

“Then that works out well. We’re teaming up?”

The team was formed when I nodded. And automatically, IJM and No Name became a team.

“Stupid bastard, even when I try to help eliminate the competition, he acts up.”

IJM, who had been glaring at our completed team, specifically at Seven Kick, muttered through gritted teeth and quickly left his seat.

“Oh, he’s overflowing with confidence.”

“He has to be. IJM hyung, don’t you know he’s signed to Gongchul’s label?”

I nodded slightly at Seven Kick’s question asked in a lowered voice.

“I know.”

Actually, I didn’t know from the beginning, but found out yesterday while doing a Weekly Quest and Search after episode 7 aired.

But even if I had known beforehand, my decision wouldn’t have changed. This was practically the only choice left for me.

“And No Name is from the same crew as BQ9.”

Seeing my unsurprised expression, Seven Kick seemed to have known this as well.

“You chose here knowing that?”

Seven Kick grumbled that those should be his words to my question, then shrugged his shoulders.

“I was originally going to go to Team Moltic & Young Billy, but Skoen made that choice first. I thought here would be better than facing that guy. Though I didn’t know the politics game would fail so spectacularly either here or there.”

“But why team up with me instead of IJM?”

Looking at IJM’s attitude and words, he was acting as if he was already predetermined. That means he has firm belief that Gongchul will take him to the main round 2nd stage.

But why kick away the safest option, IJM, and specifically team up with me? Did my amazing skills give Seven Kick that much confidence?

“Connection hip hop is fucking bullshit.”

Seven Kick smiled crookedly and gave his answer.

“So I wanted to try it once with the guy who abandoned solid connections. Connections versus skills – which one our producers will choose is up to them, right?”

The main round 1st stage that I expected to be boring was starting to feel interesting.
