A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Original Intent Episode 548

Wedding songs could be called the highlight of a wedding ceremony, but they were also a double-edged sword of an event that could leave guests with the impression of a boring wedding, or at worst, a terrible wedding if done wrong.

That’s why directing took up about 70% of the consideration when planning the wedding song. How to set up the stage was a bigger issue than what song to sing.

The song selection was simple.

One song was made exclusively for Juseong Hyung’s wedding, and the other was Rev’s rare refreshing concept hit song 【Love You】.

I considered doing our recent hit , but that song contained the meaning of separation in its lyrics, making it inappropriate to sing as a wedding congratulatory song.

It’s not like we’re performing a ritual to make them break up at the wedding hall. If I sang breakup lyrics as a wedding song, I could already picture the Crew Hyungs holding their stomachs and laughing, calling it the groom’s ex-boyfriend’s curse.

Contrary to the song selection taking less than a week, I spent a full month pondering and designing the directing.

Since we had to focus on ‘surprise,’ it couldn’t be too obvious, but we also couldn’t turn the wedding hall completely into our concert venue and have the roles reversed.

After all, the protagonists of the wedding are the bride and groom. We’re just event congratulatory singers.

Juseong Hyung should appreciate this effort of mine. With this, I’ve sufficiently repaid the debt of making the other Hyungs torment me with dating rumors between him and me.

We practiced the songs a lot, but what we focused on was practicing the timing.

That was the core of this wedding song event.

If the timing was even slightly off, it could reduce the immersion, so we had to be most careful about this part. That’s why we had no choice but to do intensive practice. We couldn’t ruin someone else’s wedding.

After getting about two hours of brief sleep and getting up to come outside, Ryu Jaehee, who had been carefully reading the synopsis for his solo album title song music video, asked with surprised eyes.

“Aren’t you going to sleep more?”

“If day and night get switched, my sleep pattern gets messed up and it’s hard. Even if I’m tired, I should sleep at night.”

I replied while doing light stretches. But I couldn’t stop the yawn that came out because my fatigue wasn’t fully relieved.

“Let’s go practice the wedding song.”

“Yehyeon Hyung and Doby Hyung went to their schedules right now though? You should rest a bit too, Hyung.”

“Really? Then we can’t do it today, we’ll have to do it tomorrow. Today I’ll think about the second preliminary outfit.”

At Ryu Jaehee’s words, I yawned again and plopped down on the sofa.

“Can’t we just dress somewhat normally for the second preliminary?”

“No way, Youngest. Think about it. Out of 225 participants, only about fifteen passed my judging. So in the second preliminary where they get individual evaluations in front of eight producers, I need to completely crush the spirit of those concept-obsessed guys who didn’t see me.”

“But the extorting hip-hop tiger fashion seems a bit much.”

“I won’t reuse that. Everything’s only fun if you do it once. That’s why I’m trying to go in a different direction.”

As I stretched my neck to scan Ryu Jaehee’s solo song music video synopsis, Jaehee moved the synopsis toward me so I could see it better.

Perhaps because of the song’s genre and atmosphere, it had a storyline that was 180 degrees different from my solo song music video.

I found it endearing how he imitated my fashion pursuits while stubbornly maintaining his own preferences for music pursuits, so I ruffled his hair roughly.

But thinking about it, isn’t this my music too? Hmm. As long as he doesn’t follow me saying he’s doing real hiphop, it’s fine.

-What happened to our Eden at the DTB judging?

-Please spill the DTB tea or at least spoil the outfit so we can prepare our hearts…!

Today as always, I slightly frowned looking at the comments on the FROM post I uploaded.

“Why do our Daydream only talk about DTB whenever I post something these days?”

Our Daydream couldn’t possibly be a fandom where all the female fans left and only hip-hop loving male fans who call me “our Hyung” remained.

So the fact that even Daydream was talking about DTB on my posts meant that the word-of-mouth from the first preliminary had spread in a strange, distorted direction and reached a level that even Daydream couldn’t ignore.

To clarify, I needed to find the source of that rumor. And there’s someone who’s much better at that than me.

When I sent an SOS to Ryu Jaehee, he found the reason in just a few minutes and explained it to me.

The trigger was a live broadcast review of the DTB first preliminary by a junior who had been judged by me at the DTB first preliminary a few days ago.

[I can’t tell you the preliminary results because of the non-disclosure agreement until the broadcast airs, so I’ll only share small details that won’t be spoilers.]

[I went to the first preliminary venue at around six or seven in the morning, but I didn’t get judged until almost five in the afternoon. Yes, the waiting time was really long. The feeling of getting exhausted from waiting?]

[Yun Woo is a DTB regular viewer. He said he watched the first preliminary reviews from last year and the year before, so he told me to pack kimbap. If it wasn’t for Yun Woo, I would have starved. There are convenience stores nearby, but with so many people, the shelves were completely empty.]

[So I barely managed to buy a small cup of cup noodles, but all the wooden chopsticks were gone, so I couldn’t eat the noodles in the end. The kimbap? I just ate the kimbap like this, standing it vertically and peeling off the foil.]

[While waiting, I also met Riot’s Cha Sol Hyung and there, what was it… in the seats inside the stadium. It was nice to meet another idol rapper while sitting there alone. So we greeted each other happily and reviewed each other’s rap lyrics…]

[Some of you might have seen the photos of us waiting that were uploaded, but I went wearing our mini 2nd album stage outfit. Since it’s a broadcast that XTReme would watch, I wanted to look pretty.]

[Cha Sol Hyung got judged first, and I had a later turn, so I was judged by Rev Eden Senior. My wannabe. He’s a senior I really, really respect. I really enjoyed watching DTB 4, he raps really well, and he’s cool even from another man’s perspective.]

[Until the judging producers were confirmed, I was thinking it would be nice if Eden Senior judged, since we’re both idol rappers, at least he wouldn’t eliminate me just for being an idol.]

[But…]

[I think that was the first time in my life I was that scared.]

[I said I went wearing stage outfits. At first, the other participants around me were glancing at me, but after Eden Senior appeared, I didn’t even catch their attention. All eyes just focused there.]

[The moment I saw Eden Senior, I wanted to grab my own collar for wearing such a mediocre outfit, just stage clothes. I stood in front of the senior wearing only this kind of clothes. With what confidence. Even if someone told me to copy it, I couldn’t. Really.]

[Eden Senior has quite an intense impression, right? But Eden Senior’s judging fashion that day had synergy that just exploded, creating this overwhelming feeling? Pressure? Like standing before a tiger… no, a natural disaster?]

[Actually, I don’t remember what happened after that either. When I came to my senses, I was in the van going back to the dormitory. I’ll have to watch the broadcast to know how I rapped too.]

[This much shouldn’t be a spoiler, right…?]

Thanks to DTB Season 6 first preliminary reviews going viral for having unusually strange reviews, this junior’s review live broadcast video also went up on YouTube and spread quickly.

Since almost half of the stories the junior told were about me, it seemed Daydream also watched that OA live broadcast YouTube video.

-Our baby has reached the age where he’s called Senior…

-Eden’s story here is also quite serious

-I looked up VXTR’s mini 2nd album outfit and it was really intense, but if that looks like a mediocre outfit, what the hell was Eden’s outfit???

-This is the first time I’ve watched another group’s live broadcast so carefully, hearing about my kid’s recent status from an unfamiliar group’s broadcast

-What did Eden do to make him lose his memory? Still, since it’s a broadcast recording, he probably went easier than when Yehyeon scolds him, but I guess it’s the difference between consistently receiving Eden therapy or not

-Geonhwi made it sound really scary, but I feel like if Yehyeon actually saw it, she’d just snort with laughter ㅋㅋㅋ

-Everyone said they looked like a baby cat, but others said it looked like a tiger, so I’m curious how seriously they judged with such a puffed-up, stern cat expression that a cat could look like a tiger hahahaha

-The consistent common point of all uploaded reviews: Yoon Eden crazy xx

At this point, I’m scared to watch DTB 6 wondering what Eden did again

-Rather than pushing a “don’t copy Eden if your face doesn’t work” campaign, wouldn’t it be faster to control Eden’s outfit choices

-Flashing memories of beret rabbit hat cleavage crop tee kingsman bank robber look confession attack mountain club leader Gung Ye DTB DTB diss cost-effectiveness actually Plan A yandere

-Ilmong-ies everyone calm down, Eden is a producer this time, a producer, he won’t be on stage unless it’s the performance or main competition second round

└Even if he doesn’t go on stage, he’ll still come out wearing clothes…

Since I made various fashion items trendy enough in Season 4 to create the term ‘DTB Syndrome,’ they seemed worried.

Among the things I made trendy, there were many decent and unique fashions, but what stuck in the public’s memory were the provocative fashions like cleavage shirts or berets that wouldn’t suit 90% of men on the street.

Or they only remembered my karma of making the streets crawl with three-stripe sports jerseys and round glasses.

So I roughly understood Daydream’s anxiety. They probably didn’t want me to bear the stigma of being the culprit who started another weird fashion trend.

I turned on an OA live broadcast to complete the Weekly Quest of OA Live Broadcast Quest and to calm Daydream’s anxiety.

“Hello, Daydream.”

As soon as I waved and greeted, seeing the flooded comments, I obediently granted their request.

“Yes yes, I got it. Have you all been well and healthy, Daydream? Why do our fans always want to receive filial piety from me? Don’t you usually like this kind of thing more?”

I made a hand heart and sent it while tilting my head slightly.

“Ah, the reason I turned on the live broadcast today is to correct the rumors circulating about me and DTB Season 6.”

Reading the circulating reviews, the rumors were incredible. Yes, this was a venue for me to clarify my grievances.

I’m really wronged. Why am I a crazy bastard?
