A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 298

“Ughhhh, I’m dying from exhaustion…”

Unlike me who slept soundly and woke up refreshed, Seo Yehyeon, who stayed up all night, kept rubbing his eyes.

Listening with one ear to Seo Yehyeon’s lament that his skin seemed to have gotten rough just from staying up one night, I called up the relationship improvement status window that I had briefly glimpsed in my drowsy state yesterday.

[▶Relationship Improvement with Members

-Seo Yehyeon (100%)

-Gyeon Hajun (99%)

-Kim Dobin (100%)

-Ryu Jaehee (99%)]

This is driving me crazy, so this thing can drop too? I was sure I only needed to fill up Seo Yehyeon’s remaining 1%, but now that Seo Yehyeon achieved 100%, Gyeon Hajun and Ryu Jaehee’s relationship improvement dropped.

Whose fault is this exactly? Mine? Or those two?

After habitually doing morning exercise with Seo Yehyeon and washing up, I sat at the breakfast table where all the members had gathered and said to Seo Yehyeon.

“Hey hey, Captain Seo. I need to leave early today for DTB competition song preparation, so check the members’ free days and set a date within this week. Don’t sneakily pick up your spoon first. Since when were you shy about it.”

Seo Yehyeon put down his utensils and grimaced, telling me to drop the title.

“Captain?”

Ryu Jaehee, who had been taking a spoonful as soon as I picked up my utensils, blinked and asked.

“Our eldest hyung is like five boat captains, so whether it’s mountains, rivers, or seas, let’s go anywhere. So we should try going once.”

“So you’re finally willing to let us participate in the song-making process.”

Seo Yehyeon kindly added an interpretation. I chuckled watching the youngest members making a fuss saying Yehyeon Hyung did it, then made eye contact with Gyeon Hajun.

“Jun, what’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.”

Gyeon Hajun smiled as usual and resumed eating as if nothing had happened.

We’re always like this. Under the name of consideration, we’ve made it a habit to hide any emotions that might burden each other before they can reach the other person.

I suddenly thought this might be the cause of that lost 1%.

[Main Round 1 Mic Selection Results]

Team Wonbaek&D.I: G-TE, A01, Nijeous, YISIK

Team Moltic&Young Billy: Skoen, Toohyeok, Ha Minseo

Team Gongchul&BQ9: Yoon Eden, Seven Kick, No Name, IJM

Team G1&AJA: Yupi, Geek Seung, Sapo

[Main Round 2 Bracket]

Team Wonbaek&D.I Vs Team Gongchul&BQ9

Team Moltic&Young Billy Vs Team G1&AJA

Detailed bracket not out yet

Probably in Team Wonbaek&D.I Vs Team Gongchul&BQ9 it’ll be G-TE-Yoon Eden, A01-Seven Kick

In Team Moltic&Young Billy Vs Team G1&AJA probably Skoen-Yupi, Geek Seung-Toohyeok matchups

Comments (195)

-Team Gongchul&BQ9’s mic selection was the most entertaining, from the team division of connections vs skills instead of individual battles as usual, to the skilled ones taking the stage, it was just pure drama

-Watching Team Gongchul&BQ9’s mic selection, my heart was racing thinking Gongchul might do connection hip-hop

└Gongchul really made people watching sweat by dragging it out so much

└Even if the dragging before selection was for broadcast angles, G1 standing nearby watching was really nerve-wracking… felt like he was definitely standing there knowing something and trying to give hints

-I was about to quit watching immediately if Yoon Eden got eliminated, but thankfully Gongchul made the right choice

-The music mission Score Zone team form is insane ㄷㄷ All team members made it to the 2nd round of finals except for the eliminated Parten

-They’ll probably match Skoen with Geek Seung, not Yupi. Yupi is definitely a PD pick, no way they’d put those two together in just main round 2

└What the hell makes Yupi a PD pick? The real PD picks are guys like Yoon Eden and Skoen

└From pushing him with the underdog rebellion bullshit, he’s so obviously a PD pick

└Even if someone throws a tantrum, if the PD doesn’t show it on air, viewers won’t even know about the tantrum storyline tsk tsk

└Why is Yoon Eden a PD pick lol what kind of PD pick gets dropped to the revival round

└That’s what I’m saying, pairing JiTae with someone who has such a huge weight class difference as rivals was far from being producer’s pick from the start…ㅋㅋ Just say JiTae himself was the producer’s pick instead

└Stubbornly insisting Yupi winning when he deserved to win in 3rd preliminary is a PD pick is fucking ugly, Yoon Eden fans

└Deserved to win my ass, even just looking at YouTube clips, public opinion is that Yoon Eden tore up the latter half rematch

└Skoen is more of a public pick than PD pick honestly, he’s not even pushed to the level of Yupi and Yoon Eden, calling him PD pick is too much

└By that logic Yoon Eden is definitely a public pick too. Skoen disease never trended but Yoon Eden disease did

-Sapo Mike got eliminated before the selection and dropped a diss track going after both G1 and AJA lolololol

└Why though? Honestly the other two’s lineup and watching the broadcast, he deserved to be eliminated

└No reason lol just the vibe of “how dare you make me fall” lol

-The TOP3 out of TOP4 after main round 2 is pretty clear, but I can’t predict how the bracket will turn out;; Last season the final was legendary but this season will be insane from semifinals

-Out of all of them, I’m most excited for the G-Te vs Yoon match lolol They’ve been pushed so hard as rivals that I’m completely brainwashed into thinking they’re rivals of the century

Seeing the fight in the comments above, I’m rewatching DTB 4 and no matter how I look at it, Yupi is definitely a PD pick

Author: Anonymous

All of this started when Skoen threw his hat in the ring for DTB Season 4.

Everyone might remember, but when rumors spread that Skoen was going on Season 4, public opinion was overwhelmingly that Skoen would win anyway.

But the problem was that if it went into Skoen solo dominance, the broadcast would definitely become boring as hell. This is a survival show, but how many people would be interested in watching a show where the result is already decided?

So the PD chose Yupi as Skoen’s rival. No connections, no fame, almost like a regular person, an unknown rapper←isn’t this the perfect condition as Skoen’s antithesis? He proved his skills and star quality himself in the 3rd preliminary.

Actually watching the broadcast, you can see them obviously pushing Yupi after the 3rd preliminary. Yupi himself also knows well what kind of image sells well in survival shows.

Now, those who watched DTB 4 all the way through will have one question here. What about Yoon Eden, who overshadowed Skoen and Yupi and became DTB 4’s biggest beneficiary with the most buzz?

He’s not a PD pick. He’s just… a crazy bastard. I can only evaluate him as a real crazy bastard.

Idol rappers are actually a very useful card in hip-hop survival shows. With the underlying subtle disrespect for idol rappers, idol rappers wanting to shed their idol image putting on shit shows, and skills lacking compared to their desperation, you can extract plenty of provocative content without having to force them into the mainstream war of rappers.

But Yoon Eden creates ridiculous scenes that make it impossible to evil-edit him, dodging all the evil editing (ex. elimination reason chest valley, Love Actually) and even highlights that he’s an idol rapper through outfit trolling. Even then, his skills back it up so he doesn’t really get hate.

Plus, he already proved his skills in Season 3 featuring and slander battles + underground background + producer connections, so they can’t carelessly disrespect him for being an idol rapper.

Yoon Eden’s presence seems prominent because of his trolling, but PD never really pushed him. The answer is clear when they put Yupi up in 3rd preliminary knowing it would be controversial. Rather, they tried to use Yoon Eden as Yupi’s stepping stone. PD knows too. No matter how much it’s a broadcast, hip-hop fans who are the main viewers wouldn’t welcome pushing an idol rapper in a hip-hop survival show.

The problem is that Yoon Eden monopolized all the buzz both inside and outside DTB. But you can’t completely edit out someone who provides such good broadcast material. Doing that would get them cursed at.

Probably if only Yoon Eden wasn’t there, this season would have gone with a Skoen-Yupi two-top system like last season’s D.I-BQ9.

Yupi putting Yoon Eden diss in the group music mission song is the same result. In a way, the spotlight and public attention coming to him decreased because of Yoon Eden, so Yupi must have been nervous. Especially since it was someone he had used as a stepping stone and stepped on once.

Conclusion: PD’s plan was a one-on-one duel between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, but thanks to Yoon Eden rolling in unexpectedly, it became a three-kingdom Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

-I think this is right too. Yupi is definitely a PD pick, Skoen is actually being held back, and Yoon Eden is self-made

-Yupi openly went after Yoon Iden, which cemented his tryhard image, but before that the hip-hop fanboys were totally dick-riding him saying he was cool lmaooo

-The guy who made the incredibly impactful nickname “Hyoryun-jwa” disappear just by appearing on DTB… The guy who updated legends every week, making people give up on giving him nicknames… The guy who made even hip-hop fans say not to carelessly diss idol rappers…

-Seriously, Yoon Eden is a DTB-tailored talent that might appear once in a thousand years. We’ll probably never see someone like him again

└Praise God Eden! Praise God Eden! Praise God Eden!

-What about next season? There’s no choice, let’s tear up the rules starting next season to allow previous season winners to re-participate

-If it’s Romance of the Three Kingdoms, then it’s Shu, Wei, Wu, right? The three kingdoms lol

-Skoen will definitely make it to the finals, so the key is whether producer’s pick Yupi or public’s pick Yoon Eden will advance

This is truly a stage completed by the narrative leading up to getting there

To think we almost couldn’t see this kind of stage because of the corrupt practice called connection hip-hop…ugh

What are you gonna do, Eden hyung? If the main competition 1st round stage is like this, expectations for your main competition 2nd round, semifinal, and final stages are getting even higher

For real, just like the title says, the costumes are really perfect too. Seven Kick could go to Gocheok in those clothes and hold a baseball bat at the plate and no one would object
