A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Original Intent Episode 423
[Park Daehong: No, these friends who made the Tornado Omelette so well, why is their tteokbokki this kind of visual…]
[Jo Myeongsuk: Exactly. The Tornado Omelette was really pretty. There weren’t even any torn parts before I cut it, how amazing.]
[Jeong Jinho: It would have been good if they put this on top of omurice instead of tteokbokki, the combination of omelette and tteokbokki doesn’t really match. The omelette is really pretty to look at.]
[Kim Yuyeong: That’s right. The menu selection is a bit disappointing. The combination of Tornado Omelette and fried rice sounds much better.]
[The Tornado Omelette that leaves even more regret because it was beautiful]
-The tteokbokki isn’t even on their minds anymore and everyone’s only talking about the Tornado Omelette lololol
-Eden, you still played a part. What would have happened if there wasn’t even the Tornado Omelette there
-The idea to cover that with a Tornado Omelette was also fucking ridiculous, what is it, a lid to cover trash..
Solo interview scenes of the two people who still looked dazed were inserted.
[Seo Yehyeon (Celebrity Team): Come to think of it, omurice is also street food. Why didn’t I think of that? Even though I heard him bragging about his only specialty, Tornado Omelette, enough to get sick of it?]
The bewilderment that came through clearly even beyond the TV screen and his expression that seemed to find himself ridiculous made the great chaos show they had put on for 15 minutes even more comedic.
[Yoon Eden (Celebrity Team): Even though there was a menu that could utilize my specialty, it was our mistake to be too obsessed with tteokbokki, the representative street food menu. When I get fixated on one thing, my vision tends to narrow.]
Compared to Seo Yehyeon who still seemed out of it, Yoon Eden, who seemed to have gotten his wits together somewhat, shrugged his shoulders and coolly analyzed the cause.
-You should have used your intelligence when selecting the menu too, not just when doing self-objectification!
-The dumpling wrapper tteokbokki was actually a pretty good idea, it’s just that the result turned out like that,,, If they had put fish cake and cheese between the dumpling wrappers and braised it with tteokbokki sauce to make it like lasagna, they might have become championship candidates?
└Oh, if you had gone out there, it would have been a sure win
-But I also really couldn’t think of omurice until Eden mentioned it lol
[Seo Yehyeon (Celebrity Team): But why is everyone only talking about the Tornado Omelette? I put a full spoon of sugar in the tteokbokki seasoning instead of half a spoon so the judges would enjoy it…(upset)]
-Aww our Yehyeon is upset because only the Tornado Omelette got praised?
-Still, thanks to Yehyeon, we avoided the situation where filming would be stopped because of stomach aches from eating burnt-tasting shredded bokki
-Because of the most visible Tornado Omelette, it looks like Eden’s role is 7 and Yehyeon’s role is 3, but actually Yehyeon’s role is 8 and Eden’s role is 2
Returning to the judging scene, Chef Jeong Jinho, one of the judges, looked at Yoon Eden and spoke.
[Jeong Jinho: I watched the celebrity team making tteokbokki without rice cakes the whole time, and you just rolled the dumpling wrappers with water on them.]
[Yoon Eden (Celebrity Team): Yes, that’s right.]
The scene of Yoon Eden diligently rolling dumpling wrappers appeared again briefly with a blurry filter.
[Jeong Jinho: To prevent that from unrolling, you should have pressed the middle once with a knife or chopsticks. That way the rolled parts would stick together firmly and be fixed.]
[The celebrity team finally learns why the dumpling wrappers kept unrolling]
-Why do they both look like such airheads with their mouths open nodding their heads…lololol
-Honestly, if the dumpling wrappers hadn’t torn apart like that, the result wouldn’t have looked this miserable
-So you’re saying this disaster wouldn’t have happened if Eden had just pressed the middle once while rolling the dumpling wrappers
-Then they would have at least beaten the office worker team with uniqueness
[Park Daehong: The visual is like this, but the taste isn’t bad.]
-It’s no different from eating dumplings without filling dissolved in tteokbokki sauce, honestly it can’t be tasty
-Fact: He didn’t say it was delicious
-Ah, he said it’s not bad~! Why are you nibbling like you’re eating something that tastes terrible lol
The celebrity team’s judging ended with the most food left in their bowls. In the midst of this, only the Tornado Omelette had completely disappeared, giving viewers even more regret about the menu selection mistake.
[What about the housewife team’s dish that was completed almost simultaneously with the celebrity team?]
[Lee Jeongmi: It’s flat dumplings and jjol-ramen. Since there was no jjolmyeon in the ingredients, we substituted with ramen noodles, so (we named it) jjol-ramen.]
[Kim Yuyeong: Jjol-ramen. The name is so cute.]
[Jeong Jinho: Right. It reminds me of Jjollaman (laughs).]
-Wow, my appetite that dropped after seeing the previous dish is coming back. Professional cooks are definitely different
-Same dumpling wrapper, different utilization
-Honestly, the fact that the previous dish’s visual was shit also played a part in making this look amazing
-Making tteokbokki substitute with dumpling wrappers seems more special than making dumplings with dumpling wrappers, don’t they give awards for unique ideas like this?
└Even if you asked the dumpling wrappers, they’d want to become dumplings, not become tattered and bloated tteokbokki rice cake substitutes
[Jeong Jinho: Even though the flat dumplings only have glass noodles as filling, eating them with jjol-ramen makes the flat dumplings not bland at all.]
[Kim Yuyeong: When I ate just the jjol-ramen, the seasoning was a bit strong, but now I see you have to eat it with the flat dumplings. Eating it this way, the seasoning is just right.]
[Jo Myeongsuk: My goodness, how is this 15-minute quality.]
-Our kids lost
└Didn’t you realize that too late?
└That overhyped rag bokki never beat anything to begin with
-The judges’ expressions seem brighter than before too, or is it my imagination
-Everyone got their smiles back ㅠㅠ
The clearly brighter expressions and faster chopstick movements compared to when they ate the food judged right before indirectly spoiled the results.
The two plates containing flat dumplings and jjol-ramen were also completely emptied. It was quite a contrast to the previous dish that had a whole bowl left.
The scene of the judges seriously scoring on their scorecards after tasting all four dishes passed by.
The four participating teams stood in front of the judges with tense faces. Of course, only one team had already sensed their fate and had an enlightened expression.
[MC: Now, let’s announce the final rankings!]
After the MC’s shout ended, the backstage screen revealed the rankings starting from 4th place.
[1st Place- Flat Dumplings and Jjol-ramen (Housewife Team)]
2nd Place- Carbonara Rabokki (Student Team)
3rd Place- Kimbap Fallen into Tteokbokki (Office Worker Team)
4th Place- Tornado Omelette Dumpling Wrapper Tteokbokki (Celebrity Team)]
-From what I saw, the housewife team also got an order buff. Honestly, if you come after that shredded bokki with the disappeared Tornado Omelette, even ordinary food looks like 3-star Michelin
-There’s no twist where that rag bokki came in 1st place after all..lol
-What remains today: That damn Tornado Omelette making process
-I’m a late fan so I thought the cooking disaster and konjac tteokbokki stories were exaggerated, but they weren’t exaggerated at all
-Still, I’m curious since that picky and sharp-tongued Uncle Daehong said the taste was good
-Usually after 15 minutes ends, I think of food I want to try making at home, but after today’s broadcast ended, I can only think of the overhyped Tornado Omelette shredded bokki
-Wasn’t shredded bokki the winner?
-Wow, there’s already someone who uploaded a video of making and trying dumpling wrapper tteokbokki lol
-Dumpling wrapper tteokbokki and Tornado Omelette are trending lololololol
-Whether it’s thanks to Yoon Eden and Seo Yehyeon or thanks to the tattered tteokbokki, anyway, it’s insane star quality for real lololol
-Since they took the buzz away from the winning dish, let’s say our kids won

“The drama schedule was bad. It suddenly changed, so I made hyung go on the cooking competition with Eden.”
After the broadcast ended with the final scene of the prize money being delivered to the housewife team and all the participating teams standing on either side of the housewife team applauding together, Gyeon Hajun comforted Seo Yehyeon with an affectionate smile.
Seo Yehyeon hesitated, then turned his head to look at Gyeon Hajun with the same gloomy expression and asked.
“Why are you suddenly talking like a male lead in a drama?”
“Me…?”
“Yeah, that really sounded like a male lead’s line when he’s hitting on the female lead.”
Seo Yehyeon rubbed his forearm and shook his head, saying there was no need to speak so affectionately. Gyeon Hajun let out a “hmm” sound, saying that since it was his first drama filming, he seemed to have gotten immersed and somewhat assimilated with his character.
“It’s okay, hyungs. That was a cooking variety show. You hyungs definitely did the ‘variety’ part right.”
Ryu Jaehee showed his cell phone screen to the two of us who were still looking dejected even after the broadcast ended. The timeline was on fire with dumpling wrapper tteokbokki. Facing the disastrous result again made me feel even more gloomy.
“So don’t be too hung up on the ranking. Even though you came in last place, you exceeded the buzz of first place right now.”
But while Seo Yehyeon might not know, the reason I was looking dejected wasn’t just because of the ranking.
Having been stuck with the embarrassing image of being a cooking disaster, I had to somehow break through this nickname.
What kind of person gets a nickname like “disaster”?

Dumpling wrapper tteokbokki continued to burn for several more days even after the 【15 Minutes】 broadcast ended.
“Before the broadcast, Idni jokingly said she came out to help me, Daydream, win, but I never dreamed she would actually help me this much in earnest… (I didn’t win though ㅠㅠ)”
The Inbyeol account of the student team cast member who posted cooking content was revealed on SNS, and when a screenshot of the dumpling wrapper tteokbokki completion scene was posted as a story and made public, Yoon Eden’s guilty statement was also exposed to the world.
RYUM @ryum2_
I tried making dumpling wrapper tteokbokki
Many people made it all fancy, so I made the version that appeared on the broadcast
The visuals are like this but it tastes good

While dumpling wrapper tteokbokki and tornado omelet making verification posts were appearing one after another, a live notification from Yoon Eden, who was practically the origin of that trend, popped up.
