A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 303

[Toohyeok eventually storms out]

[Toohyeok: It’s just… it feels like you’re not paying enough attention to me. I’m really desperate too.]

-Is this like an annual event every season or what

-There’s no one here who isn’t desperate, stop whining

-Then why did he choose the same team as Skoen;;; Honestly, he would’ve gotten similar treatment on any team;;;

-But even I can see they’re focusing too much on Skoen…

The scene switched to a producer’s individual interview, and Moltic, sitting on a stool looking exhausted, spoke honestly.

[Moltic: No, sigh… We’re trying our best to treat them equally, but inevitably there are priorities we can’t help…]

The scene changed again, and Skoen, sitting on the studio sofa, waved his hand toward Moltic.

[Skoen: I’m fine, so hyung, please pay some attention to Toohyeok. I’ll manage somehow with Young Billy hyung.]

-Wow Skoen is so cool, I really hope he wins, I’m rooting for you

-Skoen will win anyway! Skoen will win anyway! Skoen will win anyway! Skoen will win anyway!

[Team G1 & AJA is also experiencing conflict]

[Yupi: Honestly, I’d like you to pay more attention to my competition song too.]

[G1: Asking me to pay more attention to you here means abandoning Geek Seung completely, right now?]

[Yupi: No, that’s not it. It just feels like you’re paying relatively less attention to me than to Geek Seung.]

[G1: I’m not neglecting you to take care of Geek Seung. There are two team members and two producers, so we can’t focus everything on one person right now. Don’t you think?]

[No response comes back]

The camera zoomed in on Yupi’s face as he bit his lips tightly.

-I can understand Toohyeok feeling upset, but what’s with Yupi

-G1 must be really pissed off. Other teams have rookie nobody producers handling things solo, but here G1 is sacrificing his own body and time to look after everyone, and this guy doesn’t appreciate that favor and acts like this because he’s not getting attention

-He probably wanted to show he’s doing his best even when paired with Toohyeok, but he should read the situation

-??: These idiots who think this whole game is in their hands

-Yoon Eden was really a pioneer lol Yupi should’ve taken the hint when he was given a warning

[Meanwhile]

[What’s the current situation with other teams?]

[BQ9: Why did you give up producing Gongchul? It would be much better for you to work with senior Gongchul than with me.]

-Huh I thought Yoon Eden would definitely pair with Gongchul but he’s with BQ9? While some people are whining about not getting attention, this guy coolly gave up the success formula to someone who needed it more, he’s really something

└For real Yoon Eden should gather Yupi and Toohyeok and give them a beating with a baseball bat

-Well, it was Gongchul who hard carried BQ9 in the previous season too

-As expected, the dignity of a producing genius

[Yoon Eden: I’m planning to go with Plan A. For that to work, Seven Kick hyung absolutely has to win.]

[BQ9: What’s this Plan A?]

[Yoon Eden: (Beep-)]

[BQ9: Wow, I’ve never seen such a groundbreaking crazy bastard in my life…]

[BQ9’s mouth that won’t close]

[Yoon Eden’s Plan A that made even the production crew doubt their ears]

Yoon Eden’s words were completely censored with beeps, amplifying the viewers’ curiosity.

-Wow, now that I think about it, this is Yoon Eden’s first beep on DTB

-Getting beeped for spoilers instead of swearing, seriously RESPECT

-Damn it, someone please try to read his lips, I’m so fucking curious

-What the hell was that crazy guy planning to show in the semifinals that they had to censor it like that… Just out of curiosity, Yoon Eden absolutely has to advance from the second main round

-Isn’t it a costume spoiler???? A spoiler about what he’ll wear to the semifinals??

[Gongchul: If you have some spare time, help us out. Sigh… Our opponent just had to be A01, so I can’t feel at ease at all.]

[Gongchul’s S.O.S thrown out urgently as soon as he was summoned for featuring work]

[Yoon Eden: Gyuin hyung, let’s put our work on hold and help them first? We’re pretty much finished anyway.]

[BQ9: Yeah, let’s do that. We have to for the semifinals… Sigh…]

[Unable to finish his words…]

-Ah seriously what is it, is he really going topless?

-Isn’t he calling all his members for featuring to show the identity of an idol rapper?

└If that were the case, BQ wouldn’t have smacked the back of his head to make him come to his senses

-Just how amazing of a costume did he plan for BQ9’s reaction to be like that

[Seven Kick: Hey, this is invincible! This will definitely win!]

The scene of Seven Kick listening to the competition song completed by three people working together and even clenching his fists in joy faded out and switched to Gongchul’s individual interview screen.

[Gongchul: No matter how I think about it, Seven Kick is the biggest beneficiary. Three producers worked together to make him a song. Technically, Eden is a producer too.]

-The guy who won the mind game the most ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Toohyuk should have just come here instead, tsk tsk

-Did you really fight with Yongchul or something? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why are you so serious about making Yongchul’s entire team get eliminated in the second round of the finals? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[TEAM Wonbaek&D.I]

[G-TE: This is Yoon Eden’s usual style. So if we want our stage to overshadow Yoon Eden’s rap style, I think it would be better to go in this direction. Let’s kill the impact completely, that’s the idea.]

[G-TE actively giving his opinion]

[D.I: You seem to know Eden’s style better than I do? I really didn’t think that far. His rap style suddenly changed completely at some point, didn’t it?]

[G-TE: Well, I’ve been listening continuously… Ah, this is really a secret though.]

[D.I: From what I remember, you and Eden didn’t get along well during the underground days, right?]

[G-TE: You know better than anyone, hyung. How his way of speaking was.]

[D.I: Our Eden was a bit like that. But he’s not a bad kid. His way of speaking was just a bit rude, that’s all.]

-Did D.I give birth to Yoon Eden?? That’s a typical parent comment right there

-Wow, good strategy. If G-TE’s stage devours Yoon Eden’s style, either way it’ll increase G-TE’s chances of winning by bringing down Yoon Eden

-No wonder during the plagiarism incident, Yoon was the one who got plagiarized, right? He found and posted everything by himself ㅋㅋㅋㅋ So he had been listening to it all along since then? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-With that much time and effort, I acknowledge him as Yoon Eden’s rival

[D.I: Alright, then let’s go with maximizing the flow as much as possible. But you need to back it up with your rap skills. Are you confident?]

[G-TE: Of course I’m confident. Since we’re tied together as rivals anyway, I need to show at least that much to become a real rival, don’t you think?]

-G-TE knew it too… that he was honestly lacking to be called Yoon Eden’s rival…

-If you look closely, G-TE is open church closed temple. He gets jealous about Yoon Eden’s face but doesn’t get jealous about his skills, what a strange guy

-What are you gonna do, Eden… G-TE is too much of a shonen manga protagonist… You’re probably gonna lose…

[Main Round 2 Performance D-Day]

[Live audience quickly filling the concert hall]

[Who will they throw their fight money at!]

The waiting live audience lined up to enter the concert hall was shown through drone shots, and the concert hall filling up quickly was fast-forwarded and inserted as a time-lapse video.

On the stage of the now packed concert hall, the MC began announcing the performance order.

[MC: The first match is Yoon Eden from TEAM Gongchul & BQ9 versus G-TE from TEAM Wonbaek & D.I!]

The two people getting up from the waiting room were shown alternately in sequence.

[Seven Kick: Go tear up that stage.]

[A01: G-TE, go show them for sure!]

Listening to the cheers from those remaining, one person headed backstage with a determined face, while the other still had a relaxed expression overflowing with confidence.

And then, the full-scale competition stage began.

[LOST(feat. Gongchul, BQ9)-Yoon Eden]

Yoon Eden stood on stage wearing an ordinary black hoodie with a hood over a snapback worn straight forward, delivering smooth singing rap in time with the flowing intro.

His low mid-range voice combined with a humming-like singing style tickled the eardrums.

-Yoon Eden finding his beginner’s mind with an ordinary hoodie, what’s this about

-This is all preparation for the leap toward the semi-finals, isn’t it? Another amazing mind-blowing costume will be waiting for us

-There’s not another crop top in there, is there…? Getting some PTSD vibes…

-Ballad rap? Not bad, but isn’t the lyrical style a bit weak for a competition song?

Around the 40-second mark, just when the singing rap was starting to feel tiresome.

Crackling noise layered in, breaking down the melody, and then an intense EDM beat began to resonate through the concert hall.

Amid the pouring cheers, Yoon Eden whipped off his hood, adjusted his snapback backward, rolled up his right sleeve, and began unleashing rapid-fire rap that matched the beat.

Below the stage, hands moving up and down made the atmosphere even more heated.

[Skoen: Oh! What the f**k(beep-)!]

[Yupi: That plot twist is insane.]

Brief shots showed the reactions of participants watching from the waiting room and G-TE nervously gulping water backstage.

-The original plot twist master acknowledging a plot twist

-Damn, Yoon Iden is really the best at setting the mood lolololol his flow and groove are seriously insane

-Being an idol, honestly no one can match his showmanship and gestures on stage

-Lyrics that were lost because he didn’t get dissed for being an idol rapper lol I thought it was just milking his story but that’s what LOST meant lolol

-His swag is truly TOP 1 throughout all seasons

Yoon Eden crossed the extended stage with confident strides, lightly high-fiving the hands reaching out from below the stage, and as he delivered the last line of verse 1, he raised his hand pointing to the side of the stage.

As soon as verse 1 ended, the spotlight turned on simultaneously and Gongchul’s hook came in as if he’d been waiting, causing another eruption of cheers.

Yoon Eden, who had been nodding his head to the rhythm, casually raised his microphone and added doubling to Gongchul’s hook.

BQ9’s featuring took over the atmosphere that Gongchul had built up with his hook, coming out while shooting a money gun.

With the appearance of the rapper who was last season’s runner-up and ran neck-and-neck with the winner in popularity, the concert hall heated up to an unprecedented degree.

-BQ9 isn’t dead yet!!!!

-Of course they probably controlled it to some extent, but with that lineup, it’s more amazing that Yoon Eden stands out the most without being overshadowed

-Having Gongchul handle the hook was truly a stroke of genius

After verse 2 filled with BQ9’s featuring ended, Gongchul’s hook continued again.

[Let’s go, Eden!]

As soon as the hook finished with Gongchul’s shout, verse 3 that immediately began was rapping in a style never shown before, completely removing the flow maximization that was Yoon Eden’s usual style.

Yoon Eden, with one foot placed on top of a speaker, poured out the lyrics of the final verse without even adding breathing timing.

-Wow lmaooooo he’s absolutely destroying them with his rap skills lolololol is he showing his limits today or what

-Hyung, it’s only the second main round, calm down. If you do this now, what about the semifinals and finals?

└God Eden has thought everything through

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

-Destroying a part with off-beat was crazy

-D.I. and G-TE were working hard but it all became pointless,,,

-Wasn’t Yoon Eden all about Flow Maximization? Just how far does this guy’s range extend?

-What’s with that Tempo Control, he immediately lifts the mood again and saves it

-How do you even beat this

-Narrative_fan_What_happens_when_Yoon_Eden_gets_serious_about_rival_narrative.gif

-He must have really hated being paired as G-TE’s rival;; We told him to tap lightly with a toy hammer but he just went and smashed with a real hammer;;

In the final hook, all three – Yoon Eden, Gongchul, and BQ9 – grabbed their microphones and swept across the stage while encouraging audience participation.

Slogan banners fluttering below the stage and hands swaying up and down in unison to the beat. Dry ice smoke spreading across the stage floor.

The beat of 【LOST】 came to an end along with the concert hall’s energy that was vividly transmitted even through the screen.

Even after Yoon Eden, standing at the center of the stage, wiped the sweat streaming down his jawline while catching his breath and turned toward backstage with his producers, the cheers continued for a long time.

[Fight Money betting closed!]
