A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Original Intent Episode 565

The 60-second commercial break that felt uniquely long like a whole day finally ended, and the broadcast resumed by showing Yoon Eden’s clearly flustered appearance at the 1st Round Audition Venue.

Yoon Eden’s face filled with bewilderment zoomed out to capture both Yoon Eden and his opponent in one frame, then closed up on the opponent’s face.

[Yoon Eden: No, wait a minute. What do we do if this happens before we even start. This isn’t some elaborate strategy to fluster me, right…?]

-Aren’t you overestimating an elementary student too much lolololol

-That kid is crying?

-The only participant who managed to counter Yoon Eden, the strongest in the world ㄷㄷ

After showing the elementary student’s face with tears welling up, a blurry filter was applied as the scene replayed Yoon Eden, who had just finished judging the next seat, approaching the elementary student.

[A child trembling in fear watching the tiger gradually approaching]

Finally, when Yoon Eden stood in front…

[Yoon Eden: No, why why why why why. What’s the problem?]

[10-year-old Seeing a Bipedal Hip-hop Tiger for the First Time]

Yoon Eden’s frantic behavior in front of the sobbing Elementary Student Participant properly showed the reversal of the producer-participant relationship that had been superior and subordinate, bringing laughter to the viewers.

[Yoon Eden: This? Is it because of these sunglasses?]

When he took off his sunglasses, his handsome but sharp face was revealed, which synergized badly with the bizarre outfit Yoon Eden was currently wearing, giving even greater fear to the already terrified elementary student.

[Waiting Contestant 1: What do we do, he’s crying, crying. He must be scared.]

[Waiting Contestant 2: He finally made one cry.]

[Cold sweat beginning to form as the situation smoothly worsens]

The tears forming in the elementary student’s eyes and the cold sweat forming on Yoon Eden’s forehead were close-upped in sequence.

Whether the sweat formed because it was hot due to the animal pajamas made of non-breathable material, or whether it was real cold sweat because this situation was nerve-wracking, wasn’t important.

-Yoon Eden was wrong there lololololololol

-Honestly, at that level, even adults would have nightmares about that

└Didn’t someone really have nightmares about a tiger chasing them in their 1st preliminary review lolololol

-He’ll probably be remembered forever as the one and only participant who flustered Yoon Eden without any concept acting

[Yoon Eden: Should hyung stay like this while our friend raps? Is this a bit better?]

[The child gradually calming down as soon as the tiger head hood covers his face]

[Was the face really the problem after all]

-He’s giving all the warmth and kindness he saved from adult participants here

-We’d have to buy hundreds of albums just to see their face from that distance ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Wait, I want to switch souls with that elementary kid ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Yoon Eden quietly waved one hand he had removed from the hood toward the Elementary Student Participant who couldn’t continue his lyrics because of the laughter that burst out while rapping with moist eyes.

[Yoon Eden: Alright. Let’s end it here, okay.]

[The child finally bursting into laughter instead of tears]

[Yoon Eden: Hey, if you cry then laugh, you’ll grow horns on your butt.]

-So Yoon Eden’s natural enemy was elementary students

-An elementary kid who subdues with just tears the Yoon Eden who subdues hip-hop wannabes with just his presence

-Actually, that little kid was a persimmon beast-person

-There’s a reason why they say to be careful of women, elders, and children in martial arts stories ㄷㄷ

[Production Crew: Our friend, why did you cry?]

[Elementary Student Participant: Because I was scared.]

Before leaving, the Elementary Student Participant even conducted an interview properly at the entrance. When the Production Crew asked why he was scared, the Elementary Student Participant answered without a moment’s hesitation.

[Elementary Student Participant: It was scary seeing a grown adult doing that. Adults don’t usually act like that.]

[He seems to have talent for diss rap?]

-You should be the top of Korean hip-hop

-To turn Yoon Eden into an adult who doesn’t act his age with just two sentences, truly worthy of being the first to land a counter on Yoon Eden

-It’s a tragedy born from not having any concept actors in that group. If there had been even one other concept actor, it would have looked less scary

└Compared to that psycho guardian tiger, any concept actor would look normal, so nothing would have changed

[Producer Yoon Eden heading to the next participant with a completely exhausted face]

[Next Participant: Excuse me, could you maybe cover me with your hat like you just did…]

Before his eyes were completely hidden behind the sunglasses lenses, his gaze toward the next participant glinted coldly as if asking what nonsense he was talking.

[Next Participant: I guess that won’t work… Yes…]

[Quick surrender]

-Wow, he went straight from a pathetic tiger from a folktale who ran away after seeing a persimmon to a wild beast

-“There’s no warmth to give to those 13 and older”

-Being gentle only to kids is so attractive…

Yoon Eden’s judging scene, having regained the judge’s dignity and fear with one glance, naturally switched to another producer’s judging scene.

Repeated eliminations appeared in split screens, and just when you wondered why no one was passing-

The sight of surrounding participants murmuring and waiting contestants craning their necks to watch built anticipation by indicating in advance that a notable figure worth focusing everyone’s attention had appeared.

[Yupi returning to DTB after 2 years]

[And the producer who will judge him today is…]

The tiger responsible for the tension of DTB Season 6 1st Preliminary Round appeared again.

[Participant 5: This is crazy…]

The following “It’s really pajamas…” that had even blown Yoon Eden’s mind was subtly edited out so viewers’ attention would focus on the current situation rather than Yoon Eden’s outfit.

[Starting from Season 4 3rd Preliminary that was a heated grill plate]

[The rival dynamic that continued all the way to the Semi-Final]

[Now, 2 years later, the two people facing each other again as producer and participant]

Scenes from Season 4 3rd Preliminary and Semi-Final passed by like flashbacks, and then the current appearance of the two people facing each other as producer and participant was captured in one frame.

[Yupi: You’re still taking all the buzz.]

[Yoon Eden: Oh come on, if you’re not confident you can surpass this level of buzz, you should pack up and leave early.]

-I watched this scared that Yoon Eden might eliminate him for being cocky lol for real

-For people who clashed in the 3rd preliminaries and group mission diss lyrics, they don’t seem to be on bad terms?

└Honestly just looking at that, Yoon Eden is pretty magnanimous

-Yupi definitely is good at what he does

-He seems to have grown much more than 2 years ago, probably enough to be a championship candidate along with Hek

-Hey man, who gives compliments like they’re picking a fight lololol

[Yupi, 1st preliminary PASS!]

The judging scene of VXTR Geonhwi, who was the main figure in spreading the reviews of DTB Season 6’s 1st preliminaries widely to the public, also passed by briefly with the subtitle “Obviously a meeting between an idol senior and junior.”

-One of them isn’t an idol but seems like a crazy person

[And following Yupi, another rival appears]

[G-TE: Damn, seeing you up close makes it even more bizarre. Hey, a king ribbon headband would be better.]

[Yoon Eden: G-TE, I’m not here for a fan meeting right now, I’m here to judge.]

-G-TE should honestly pay money to get judged by him, for him this isn’t judging but a fan meeting

-The audacity to tell the producer straight to their face that their fashion is hideous + to just go wear a big ribbon headband instead ㄷㄷ truly befitting of Yoon Eden’s rival

-Wait a minute… then that means G-TE has imagined Yoon Eden wearing a king ribbon headband before…?

-How much must he have been imagining king ribbon Yoon Eden in his daily life to say “a king ribbon headband would be better” without any hesitation?

-Let’s send him back to being the dark #1 fan, such tastes shouldn’t come into the light

[The pass necklace given to G-TE]

[Yoon Eden: You’ve climbed up another step]

-At this point, didn’t Yoon Eden release a solo album because he got tired of G-TE nagging him?

-Since personal comments get ignored, now he’s nagging with diss rap right to his face lolololol

-Does “climbed up a step” refer to his skills or his weird tastes?

After G-TE’s judging ended, where he fell back to being the dark #1 fan due to a huge misunderstanding from just mentioning what he saw directly at the fan meeting.

[NEXT WEEK!]

[Gongchul: My goodness, for such an esteemed person to come to such a humble place…]

[Yoon Eden: I was quite surprised hearing that friend’s rap.]

[(Arirang melody)]

The next week’s preview ended after quickly showing Curdy Boy standing before the team producer, a navy blue mosaic blob shrugging what appeared to be shoulders, and a close-up of the navy blue mosaic blob.

-Is that mosaic Yoon Eden again?

-But I don’t think anything can beat this week’s outfit lol I’m mentally prepared

-What navy blue animals are there? Shark? Orca? Husky?

-Why does Arirang keep coming out, since when did what I’m watching become DROP THE GOKJO

* * *

Seo Yehyeon snorted while watching the scene of some idol junior called VXTR or whatever getting judged by me.

“Is that judging so scary it makes you lose your memory? It’s not strict at all? He didn’t even experience hell again with the military instructor hat, and he’s saying that’s scary now? He must have really grown up as a greenhouse flower in the recording studio until now.”

From the tsk-tsk tongue clicking, I could even sense a strange pride. Anyone listening would think I make them hit their heads with a stick every time they miss a note in the recording studio.

“Wasn’t he scared because of those clothes? If I were him, I’d have made up my mind to show off my idol side and came wearing tough techwear wrapped in harnesses, but if an industry senior was doing an escaped-from-the-zoo bipedal Japanese macaque tiger look, I think I’d definitely erase that memory too. I wouldn’t even want to remember it.”

“Eden doesn’t usually act that imposing in the recording studio.”

“Hajun, only you and Youngest Member would feel that way. But when Yoon Eden came to the dormitory wearing that, it was horrifying but not as horrifying as it appeared on the broadcast? Is this really the power of broadcast editing?”

As Seo Yehyeon tilted his head in confusion, Ryu Jaehee answered, perhaps unable to stand watching the eldest hyung’s attempt at being cute.

“It’s because Eden hyung looked taller when he stood in front of the participants. So it was directed to seem more intimidating. When he’s with us, the height difference isn’t that big, so it felt less intimidating.”

After the scene of Choi Hyeongjin getting judged by me and receiving the pass necklace, they showed a brief next week preview and the broadcast ended. Hyeongjin had monopolized the final spotlight.

Oh, I noticed Park Gyuhyeok was completely edited out and couldn’t even show his face on the broadcast.

I heard he fought with his gang member who passed the 1st preliminaries out of inferiority complex and they fell out, but considering that guy also got eliminated in the 3rd preliminaries, it was truly a meaningless fight.

Thanks to that, it reminded me of before the regression and made it even more satisfying.

After DTB Season 6 Episode 1 aired, so many people asked in comments and DMs how much extra appearance fee I got for wearing that tiger pajama that I just posted openly on my personal account.

easy1 and several others liked this.

yoon_eden I’m an autonomous person so I didn’t wear it because someone told me to

I politely decline questions about how much extra appearance fee I got to come out dressed like that

Comments 9,325

g_te☑ I thought so

In dream100 DTB, she didn’t dress this cutely thoughㅡㅡ

u_ui_uii If you had gone around for 1st preliminary judging dressed like this, the judges would have cursed you out for concept attention-seeking, but making it so no one could even curse with that cursed tiger look was real RESPECT

molll.bee I think you could live a little less autonomously too, Eden,,,

fkgmakslvm No way, I firmly believed there must be a Yoon Eden anti among the production crew

Of course, there wasn’t no criticism calling me an attention seeker for appearing in such shocking outfits.

But…

-Damn, our hyung is currently doing damage control with his whole body, and instead of giving applause and warm looks of praise, is it right to criticize him as an attention seeker?

-Only people who can stand in front of broadcast cameras aired nationwide wearing clothes like that should throw stones at our hyung

My younger members, whose faces I don’t even know, shielded me on their own.

Minion @xkfl6545

Sometimes I think these guys are more pure 2E fans than me

Honestly I also thought the Japanese macaque tiger was unmanageable

Our Daydream wouldn’t get cursed at for the ridiculous reason of idol fans talking on hip-hop communities, it shielded me from malicious criticism of being an attention seeker – it was truly killing two birds with one stone.

A post also went up with my DTB Season 6 1st preliminary judging look photo asking “Getting paid 1.5 million won per day to dress like this and go to work – Possible vs Impossible.”

Among comments seriously saying they’d dress like this for work so please give them money and lamenting that they haven’t received several hundred million won until now, comments suggesting deals saying 1.5 million won is too cheap to sell one’s dignity since you might get photographed on the street and be talked about until you quit, and comments firmly saying it’s absolutely impossible, there was one really impressive comment.

-Then what does that make Yoon Eden who appeared on broadcast dressed like this without even getting paid

Exactly.
