Regression Manual for Idols Who Lost Their Original Intent Episode 492

* * *

The 【Trouble Travel】 LA special drew huge expectations from the preview alone.

Kim Dobin, who had rumors of leaving the show due to his group’s confirmed overseas tour creating a fairly long hiatus, was a member with a thick viewer fanbase in 【Trouble Travel】 for his role as the lucky youngest member who was polite, fortunate, and lovable even when doing silly things.

The fact that the eldest brother MC, who took over the armband from Kim Dobin, planned a tour where the 【Trouble Travel】 members would personally visit that youngest member during his confirmed long absence (even if not leaving) was well-received by the 【Trouble Travel】 viewer fanbase.

Yoon Eden appearing as a guest, who had shown great activity in the uninhabited island special, also contributed to adding interest.

For Daydream, who had been thirsting for group variety shows, it was a surprise gift that suddenly came their way.

It was good for both the 【Trouble Travel】 viewer fanbase and Rev’s fandom Daydream.

[PD Jung: Everyone, do you like working out?]

[Reactions clearly split in half]

[PD Jung: This Venice Beach has a holy site for fitness enthusiasts. It’s an outdoor gym located in front of the beach. Its name is Muscle Beach!]

[Seongsu: I’ve heard of Muscle Beach too. But it’s not as big as I thought?]

[Lee Eon: Oh, but it has everything it needs.]

[PD Jung: Right, it’s not big enough for all these people to go in together.]

[Blatantly relieved expressions]

-Just by looking at their faces, you can tell who’s getting in lol

-I thought they’d do missions at the roller rink, but they’re doing it here after all

[PD Jung: Instead, there’s a mission prepared at this Muscle Beach for meal selection rights. We’ve prepared meals at two places. One is arguably America’s representative food. It’s a franchise that hasn’t entered Korea yet, so you’d regret not eating here – In-N-Out Burger. And the other is Korean meal vouchers at LA’s Koreatown.]

[Yeonghwan: What! Since when did you become so kind? Should we always call guests then?]

[Doby: Wow, this is the first time both options have been this satisfying while filming Trouble Travel.]

[Members moved to tears by such trivial things]

[Meanwhile, the Rev team bewildered by the members’ reactions]

-There’s no way TTTBle would be this generous with eating missions lol Did they go easy because Rev’s fandom is big?

-We got criticized by fans for giving weird meals during reality tests, and that spread as rumors… so they probably have to be mindful about the meal part…

-The Beijing episode was really crazy, it was stinky tofu vs Beijing duck

[PD Jung: Now, please pick two people per team to perform the mission at this outdoor gym.]

[Yeonghwan: For our team, obviously Lee Eon, and Seongsu works out a lot too, right? How about these two.]

[Seongsu: Okay.]

[Lee Eon already warming up without saying anything]

[Trouble Travel team, Seongsu and Lee Eon confirmed!]

[Yuje: For us, the morning workout duo can go. Think of it as doing the gym session you missed this morning.]

[Hajun: Come to think of it, it’s exactly morning time. We can think of it as going to the gym a bit late.]

[Doby: Those people have a disease where they die if they don’t go to the gym in the morning… They couldn’t go to the hotel gym this morning because of the filming schedule, so they’re probably starving for weights right now.]

[Rev team, Eden and Yehyeon confirmed!]

-It’s 100% going to be a workout competition, so it’s better for people who work out to go

-No way, my mom is asking why the skinny kid is going when that guy next to him clearly has a better body

[Finally entering Muscle Beach]

[A feast of muscles visible everywhere]

[Seongsu: I saw them selling tank tops over there earlier, should I buy one?]

[Lee Eon: Nah, why buy one. Just take this shirt off. Everyone else is shirtless…]

Following the actor’s shirtless scene, Yoon Eden coolly and unhesitatingly threw off his t-shirt, and this scene was broadcast.

[Can’t lose, Eden also strips off refreshingly!]

-Yoon Eden’s sudden shirtless scene caught me unprepared

-Other idols: abs reveal=fan meeting, music video, concert, shirtless=concert, music video, water bomb

My idol: abs reveal=DTB(hip-hop show), shirtless=Trouble Travel(travel variety)

└Is this right?

-Whatever, thank you!!!!!! Finally seeing the version without that damn crop top!!!!!!!

-But really, he’s not inferior to Kim Lee Eon… Very relieved

-Thinking he deliberately revealed his muscles on terrestrial variety to show his father-in-law and mother-in-law, I’m not particularly upset

└He needs to be at least this level to eat well

-Eden’s shirtless scene was enough to get the Trouble Travel high

-Let’s not have Yehyeon strip

-Button it no don’t button it button it no don’t button it button it no don’t button it button it no don’t button it

-Wait why is Dobin whistling outside lmaooooo that’s why everyone’s staring as they walk by lmaooo

[Today’s meal rights mission: The person who achieves more bench press repetitions within the time limit (2 minutes) wins!]

[Fierce psychological warfare between two men starting from weight selection]

[PD Jung: Alright, Eden first!]

-Was I always such a cheerful person

-So watching others work out is this entertaining~ I’m experiencing fun I never felt at the gym for the first time today

-Seeing him lift that weight so easily, I think he could easily lift someone like me

-Damn, is it okay to do this with such a pretty face

-Add more, more

-Two men stripping and competing intensely, truly beautiful.. ahem

-Ah my gums are drying

-I welcome the mass production of such revealing variety shows! Good-bodied men going shirtless doesn’t displease me or harm me!

-Best variety show

[PD Jung: The winner of this meal selection mission is… Team Rev! Will you choose Korean food or hamburgers?]

-Dobin would definitely choose hamburger but the hyungs hahahaha

-Rev can’t eat hamburgers, I just saw In-N-Out menu search on Yehyeon’s phone screen

-Eden surprisingly chose hamburgers too? But since Hajun chose Korean food, they’ll probably just eat Korean food

[Seonwook: I’m happy eating this famous hamburger after having stinky tofu.]

[Yeonghwan: It’s delicious. It is delicious. But it makes me think of spicy soft tofu stew.]

[Dongkyu: Come to think of it, I heard there’s a great soft tofu stew place in Koreatown. When I said I was going to LA, a friend who went before recommended it to me?]

[That soft tofu stew is being deliciously eaten by Team Rev]

[Yuje: I thought I was a Western food person, but I guess you can’t fool Korean blood. I feel like I’m coming back to life eating spicy stew.]

[Yehyeon: Doby, if you’re that disappointed, let’s eat that In-N-Out burger later. But without the fries. Oh, and make the cola zero.]

[Eden: Why not tell him to eat it with one side of the bun removed too?]

[Yehyeon: That would be good.]

[Eden: ….]

After showing them eating at the hamburger place and a famous Korean restaurant in LA’s Koreatown respectively, the mission scene performed on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame followed.

[Myeongwon: I thought Eden would immediately catch this? When he came to the uninhabited island last time, he used his head quite well, so I thought he’d catch this much, but surprisingly it’s not Eden but that youngest member who’s being active?]

-As expected, they don’t use their brains when the youngest member is around

-I mean, forget about the other members, but Dobin, what are you doing when you have all that TTBL experience under your belt! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Fact: Doby was consistently like this in Trouble Travel too

-The Trouble Travel folks seem surprised by Eden’s decreased mission-solving ability, but we were surprised by our kid’s intelligence improvement during the Trouble Travel uninhabited island special

[Day 3 morning has dawned]

[Two cars waiting for the members and guests…]

Following PD Jung’s instructions, the two teams split up and got into separate cars.

[The Trouble Travel team’s destination is…]

[Universal Studios!]

[Seonwook: Wow! This tour is really the best!]

The screen showed the Trouble Travel team arriving at Universal Studios looking excited, then switched to the interior of Rev team’s car that was still driving.

[Meanwhile…]

[PD Jung: Everyone, do you happen to know what amusement parks there are in LA or near LA?]

[Doby: Disneyland!]

[Yuje: Universal Studios?]

[Eyes filled with anticipation]

PD Jung’s face was shown once, looking at the Rev members with just a subtle smile, giving no answer.

[PD Jung: Alright, we’ve arrived! Everyone please get out.]

The first week’s broadcast ended with the Rev members getting out and looking wide-eyed at the mosaic-processed amusement park with its deck area.

[Next week!]

[Yehyeon: You bastards! I won’t let this slide!]

[Eden: Even if this is beep- I’m still going to beep-!]

-This is the first time I’ve heard Eden sound so urgent lol

-Roller coaster?

-This is insane lololololol that’s Six Flags lololololol so freaking scary lolol

* * *

Refreshing shirtless scenes, proven law of Rev’s total intelligence, accidentally discovered movie preferences of Rev members, guaranteed fun mission failure penalty – scenes that Daydream would welcome appeared quite a bit from the first week, so the reaction was pretty good.

Of course, after the first week’s broadcast aired, some complaints came from a section of the 【Trouble Travel】 viewer fanbase that the tour intensity and missions were too weak compared to usual, making it boring, probably because guests appeared.

But when the second week’s broadcast aired, those complaints completely disappeared.

[Mission given to the Trouble Travel team!]

[Take photos in front of five different movie themes in total]

[Myeongwon: Hey hey, this one this one! Take it quickly, quickly! The train’s going to pass by!]

The Trouble Travel team enjoying Universal Studios to the fullest with easy missions and fun rides.

And…

[PD Jung: Welcome to Six Flags!]

[Terrifying roller coasters greeting the Rev team]

[They must perform missions here!]

-Who was it that spouted the nonsense about our kids having it easy

-That place is really scary and they have to do missions there too…? Extreme Trouble Travel comeback

-The kids’ faces went pale lololol

Rev team suffering terribly while doing missions on the extremely brutal roller coaster.

[Photo time has returned]

[The timer starts ringing clearly]

[3, 2…]

[Yehyeon: E, E, E… How do I express E?]

[Meanwhile, Hajun calmly making the letter E with both hands]

[Yehyeon: Damn it, I don’t know!]

[Just throws up a V]

-E=2 really?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Still, getting 3 out of 4 characters right on that kind of rollercoaster is pretty impressive lololol

-Hajun looks calm but he’s totally spaced out lololol

[The song is being carried on well]

[Yoon Eden: You want me to rap? You want me to rap in this state? Even if Taker came back to life, he couldn’t do this!]

[Eden’s mouth doesn’t stop talking even in the midst of this]

[Yuje: Hyung!]

[Eden: Why!]

[Hard to believe this vocal power is without a microphone]

[Eden: I dropped the mic, dude!]

[Is it screaming or conversation]

[Still completed the rap part safely without screaming during the 360-degree section!]

[Finally it’s over…]

[…you thought? The song isn’t over yet!]

[Eden: What, why isn’t it stopping? This keeps going? Wait a minute, PD! This keeps going! I’ll sing standing up! I’ll sing standing up over there! Stop it!]

-Our hyung is so human

-If talking is 3, then screaming is about 7

-And yet he manages to nail the rap part so well that you can hear every single lyric clearly, which is fucking amazing and hilarious ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Introduce rapping while riding roller coasters to DTB preliminaries, introduce it

-Even doing it while lying face down ㄷㄷ

-Crazy, he’s not scared of ghosts but scared of roller coasters, total gap moe

-It looks less like he’s scared and more like he can’t ride with his mouth shut…?

└Isn’t that being scared??

└If you’re scared, you won’t be able to ride it at all lol

-The trainee who debuted with them sings so well in such a calm way, which makes the comparison even more obvious ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Why is it so funny and cute how he doesn’t breathe through his mouth on the second turn ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Yesterday he was a ‘man’ but today he just became a kiddo lol

The intense contrast between the two teams was one thing, but the bigger reason was the controversy that arose from the second mission.

-The Youngest Member pulling out those vocals in that state is really amazing

-Doing rap during the 360-degree section and steep drop section is absolutely insane, way harder difficulty than vocals

-No, obviously singing in that state would be much more difficult, right?

-What are you talking about, of course doing rap when you’re short of breath like that is harder
