A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Original Intent Episode 575

* * *

DROP THE BEAT Season 6 Episode 3 showed the participants competing in the third preliminary round.

Out of the 123 who competed in the second preliminary round, only 50 safely made it to the third preliminary round. Those who had passed through rigorous judging and reached the final filter of the third preliminary round were given yet another trial.

[During the second preliminary round…]

[REZZA: Why isn’t that turning on? We’re doing the second preliminary round right now. Didn’t they usually show it?]

[Nijeous: They really won’t show it? Then what about the third preliminary round?]

[Yupi: The rules must have changed. Is this the first or second time they’ve done this?]

[Nijeous: I’ve been on DTB three times, so why is hyung acting like he knows everything…]

[Participants who were confused by the monitor that wouldn’t turn on]

A brief scene from episode 2 flowed by, toned down in sepia.

[Yupi’s prediction was correct]

[The changed rules for the third preliminary round in Season 6!]

A scene of producers putting their heads together to create rankings was also broadcast.

[Gongchul: Still, he has name value.]

[Yoon Eden: From what I saw, HYEQ hyung was too conservative in the preliminaries.]

[G1: Isn’t this guy’s ranking too low? Let’s watch the video again. I think he did better than the guy we put at 41st place.]

[Rankings carefully created by the producers]

[These rankings are only revealed to the producers and viewers!]

[1st place. Yupi

2nd place. HYEQ

3rd place. Craezno

4th place. G-TE

…

48th place. Lexu

49th place. Noiz

50th place. Blurnik]

-UP beat out K-hip hop legend Hek for 1st place? As expected, current and former PDs’ pick ㄷㄷ

-Like Yoon Eden said, Hek was being conservative in the 2nd preliminary round, hiding 30% of his skills like the martial arts rule

-If they don’t show this to the guys, how are they supposed to choose opponents

-But still, HYEQ shouldn’t be below Yupi;;;

The rankings were revealed only to the viewers, and they subsequently showed the 50 participants gathered in the waiting room subtly being wary of each other while trying to figure out the rankings.

[The participants who are completely unaware of this fact]

[Production Crew: Those who want to choose battle opponents, please sit on the right, and those who don’t want to choose opponents and only want to receive battle requests, please sit on the left.]

[Participant team that wants to choose battle opponents]

[Participant team that only wants to be chosen]

[Classification complete]

-I can’t believe HYEQ was an introvert who wanted to be chosen

-Did Yupi know she was in 1st place when she went to the nomination line? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Nijeous pissed off Seven Kick in season 4, Tyg in season 5, and now who’s he going to piss off this season by going to the choosing line

-Yupi was smart, by going to the choosing side he blocked the situation where someone could use the underdog narrative against him that he himself used in season 4

[Production Crew: Starting from the person sitting at the front right, please choose your opponents from those on the left in order.]

[Nijeous: Wait, you really won’t show us the rankings?]

[Production Crew: No, rankings will not be provided.]

[Only the producers and viewers can know the rankings]

[The participants who went to the choosing team must select their battle opponents without knowing either their own ranking or their opponent’s ranking!]

[Truly a bolt from the blue for the participants⚡]

After sufficiently showing the dazed participants, the screen switched to the space where the producers were.

[BQ9: It’s gambling. All the rappers whose skills they know for sure are good rappers, but if they try to pick from the unknowns, they can’t tell who ranks higher than them, what their skills are like, or if they’re worth competing against.]

[Yoon Eden: We did well to appear earlier than Season 6. Right, hyung? Don’t you think?]

Following BQ9, Yoon Eden was caught on camera playfully poking D.I, who was sitting next to the judges’ seats.

Thanks to Yoon Eden posting spoilers about being a villain before the broadcast, all sorts of villain predictions had emerged.

Joker was mild, and there were Star Wars Darth Vader, Harry Potter Voldemort, Conan culprit, Wallace and Gromit McGraw, One Piece Doflamingo, Doraemon Giant, Pokémon Team Rocket, desire-filled hot pants Harley Quinn, and so on.

Among them, Pokémon Team Rocket got intensively beaten up unfortunately, even though there were many other bizarre costumes, because the outfit caused inner universe trauma.

And the outfit finally revealed on the broadcast shattered all those predictions. It wasn’t an actual villain, but a conceptual villain outfit from Yoon Eden’s mind.

Black long coat tails naturally flowing down below the sofa and a wide-brimmed fedora worn up top, with round black sunglasses shining under the lights beneath it.

A perfectly fitted black shirt and black slacks, with a red necktie as the only color point in the all-black fashion.

Leisurely crossed legs and derby shoe tips tapping the floor, and fingers wrapped in black leather gloves tapping the sofa armrest in rhythm.

This was also quite a conceptual outfit, but after going through the tiger-madman’s heavenly clothes with hip hop look, it only looked like everyday clothes with extra effort.

-Wow, it’s the first time Yoon Eden’s outfit appreciation ended with just ‘cool’ and ‘looks hot’!

-Who is that…? There was no such producer in DTB 6

-If I saw him on the street he’d be really something, but the previous outfits were so strong that this one looks ordinary, which is the scariest part…

-No but that fashion isn’t even over the top and it’s so cool lol guess they really are an idol after all

-How can he look like such a different person from episodes 1-2

-If you could do this, why did you do that until now!

After showing ‘today’s Yoon Eden’, DTB refocused on the participants who were busy choosing battle opponents.

[Yupi: I choose HYEQ.]

[A choice result no one expected!]

Yupi, unable to use the underdog narrative, changed strategies. He chose HYEQ from the top tier and opted for a frontal breakthrough.

[Yupi: I never thought it would be doable. The first Korean hip hop I heard was HYEQ senior’s . From then I started listening to rap and came to have this dream… So I wanted to compete at least once with this Korean hip hop legend I’ve respected.]

[HYEQ: His eyes were very serious. At least he didn’t choose me out of disrespect. I could see that clearly.]

“The broadcast image change is really amazing. When he got criticized for being a cool jerk, he immediately switched to the RESPECT hip hop spirit meta.”

-Why did Yupi suddenly become humble??? Did he admit that without the underdog narrative he’s like a steamed bun without red beans??

-Wow… But I really never thought he’d go head-to-head with Hek

[HYEQ wins 3:1!]

[Winner and loser sharing a warm embrace and heading their separate ways]

[Yupi: I have no regrets. It wasn’t the best moment of my life, but I think it was the second best. The best was still the third preliminary round in Season 4…]

-They’re giving Heck the win for this lolol Even though there’s a revival round, honestly didn’t Yupi do better lol

-Heck is honestly too old-fashioned, Yupi did way better

-No fucking way, Yupi fans showed up again? They pulled this shit in Season 4 too, go find something else to argue about please

-Kids who think rap is amazing just because it’s fast are all at that level lol

“But HYEQ winning that, it’s scripted. There was a script.”

“Really? Then who do you think won without the script, hyung?”

“Still HYEQ.”

“It’s not a result influenced by grudges from Season 4, right?”

“What do you take me for?”

Even after the ultimate showdown ended, the third preliminary battles continued.

[REZZA’s finger pointing toward SYRA]

[Changing direction… pointing at Jex!?]

[Jex: I naturally thought female rappers would face each other, but I never expected to be chosen…]

[REZZA: There’s no rule saying female rappers must face each other. I made this choice hoping as many female rappers as possible advance to the main competition.]

SYRA, one of the female rappers REZZA tried to elevate and the only idol rapper to make it to the third preliminaries, also drew attention.

[Blurnik: I’ve listened to a lot of Wonderland songs too. But when I heard the rap parts, it didn’t seem like you rap particularly well. So I chose you without worry. You’re probably ranked lower than me anyway.]

[SYRA: His attitude was really something. Like he was obviously looking down on me? There are so many reasons I can’t even begin to count, but I have to show him. That I’m not someone he can openly look down on.]

-You’re 50th out of 50 and the person you chose is 10th out of 50, you idiot lololol

-Blurnik must be banging his head against the wall watching the broadcast right now lol The final moments of someone who couldn’t predict he’d be last place

-This is why self-objectification is so important

[Unanimous victory for SYRA!]

[Blurnik: No, this isn’t right… I didn’t know you were this good…]

[Blurnik’s face turned deathly pale]

[SYRA’s face looking refreshed in contrast]

[SYRA: I’m an underdog too at this level, right?✌]

The DTB repeat student and DTB’s troublemaker Nijeous, who causes trouble at least once every season, also drew considerable interest with his opponent selection.

[Nijeous: Let’s have a showdown between DTB’s second-timer and third-timer.]

[G-TE selected!]

[G-TE: Are you ALL PASS?]

[Nijeous: Why? I’m not telling you. Hyung, don’t tell me you’re ALL PASS?]

[G-TE: I’m not telling you either. You go first.]

[The second-timer and third-timer engaging in fierce psychological warfare before it even starts!]

-G-TE dumped Yoon Eden and got a new rival

-Rival transfer

-The true rival Casanova “G-TE” who changes rivals every season

-His former rival is waiting beyond that door right now, but is it right to flirt with a new rival with just one door between them? Aren’t you afraid of heaven?

[G-TE wins!]

[Nijeous: Aaaahhh! I’m eliminated in preliminaries! I’m eliminated in preliminaries!]

[G-TE: Oh right. I am ALL PASS.]

[Nijeous: Are you messing with me right now?]

-Did he only learn how to provoke people from his former rival Yoon Eden lol

[NEXT WEEK!]

[Yoon Eden: Welcome to the world of revival rounds.]

[G-TE: What kind of novel bullsh*t is this now?]

Did you enjoy the show today, Daydream?

I came because I have something to ask Daydream who watched DTB today. I don’t need to do a clarification live broadcast today, right?

It doesn’t look strange to my eyes, but since I might be too steeped in extreme fashion to see it properly, I’m trying to accept Daydream’s opinions.

By the way, there won’t be any more weird Yoon Eden appearances, so you can watch without worry haha There won’t be much of my presence as a producer until the main competition anyway. Now that I’ve fulfilled all my responsibilities, it’s time for the focus to shift to the participants.

Please leave your opinions in the comments and I’ll reflect on them.

-“I don’t need to do a clarification live broadcast today, right?” lol So you know you did something that needed clarification

-I was going to send a protest truck to L&L if you looked weird today too, but thanks for saving me money

└As expected, our efficient idol!

-Clarification live broadcast lol The people waiting for that will be disappointed (including me)

-Whether you wear weird fashion or not, we’re already trained so it’s fine. That doesn’t mean come out wearing it again though^^

└I’m not trained yet…

-Instead of a clarification broadcast today, do a live broadcast explaining your outfit selection process

Most Daydream said there was no need for a clarification live broadcast this time, so I safely got through it.

Now the only potentially controversial look left was the blingy floral shirt, if I really had to squeeze something out. Even that could be brushed off as vacation wear for someone desperately wanting a holiday.

All that remained was the phone call with Cha Yeonho regarding the Shinwol trainee.

Perhaps feeling uncomfortable about leaving a record in text, Cha Yeonho only sent back a curt reply with a time to call. The fact that Altair was on an overseas tour and couldn’t meet in person probably played a part too.

“Hello?”

As soon as the other party answered, I poured out my business.

“Look, you could have just replied by text but you’re making me go through the trouble of calling, Senior. So, does your agency recruit trainees based on composition ability alone?”

-Why are you curious about that?

I definitely called Cha Yeonho’s phone, but I have no idea why KJ’s voice is coming through the receiver.

Is this some kind of direct connection service or something?
