A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Original Intent Episode 578

Of course, I know well that lie detectors aren’t omnipotent.

But naturally, a lie detector is much more trustworthy than Cha Yeonho, isn’t it? A lie detector sometimes ‘fails’ to catch lies, but Cha Yeonho deliberately deceives me.

The former has no intention while the latter overflows with intention, making the latter’s crimes worse.

“Oh, and KJ also mentioned this – do you remember the Shin-wol trainee death incident that happened a few years before your debut? They say it was suicide, but do you know exactly why he chose death?”

-…I wasn’t that close to that hyung, so I don’t know the reason. Actually, Jeongjun was closer to that hyung.

Cha Yeonho’s answer was adding credibility to what KJ had said in the memory fragment.

And Cha Yeonho also seemed to have realized something from my question.

-Alright, let me organize this. The fact that Jeongjun specifically mentioned that hyung’s suicide to you and informed you about the existence of a suicide note means he wanted to tell you something through that note.

“That’s right.”

-And… there’s a high probability that our agency took that suicide note. So that’s why Jeongjun didn’t tell me about the existence of the note beforehand… because I was maintaining a close relationship with the agency until then…

Seeing how he couldn’t trust even a friend he’d been with since age thirteen or fourteen and hid the existence of the suicide note, I could roughly guess how cornered KJ had been.

Cha Yeonho, who had been speaking, seemed to realize that the real enemy wasn’t me but his own agency, and became speechless, unable to continue and just kept swallowing dry saliva.

This wasn’t something that just Cha Yeonho and I could handle alone.

Looking at it, Cha Yeonho seemed completely unaware of the dark side of Shin-wol Entertainment’s composition work until now. Even if he had used his agency’s shady aspects, it was only to the extent of industrial espionage – if he had known properly, he wouldn’t have been flailing around like this until now.

So, we needed someone who had their feet in that dark side.

“Anyway, from what I heard when KJ answered the phone for you before, it seems like you two fell out again because you stopped him from plagiarizing and pressed him about it, so try to reconcile first. What I heard was only fragmentary, so we need Jeongjun, who’s the person involved.”

Here I am at my age, even mediating reconciliation between grown men. For some reason, I felt like a kindergarten teacher.

At my words, Cha Yeonho let out a self-deprecating laugh.

-Isn’t it funny that after we ended up like this because we were suspicious of each other, you’re now asking us to trust you and spill everything?

“Just throw a good punch at each other. Don’t you know about friendship that sprouts between exchanged fists?”

I passed on the clean reconciliation method that Gyeon Hajun and I used, but Cha Yeonho didn’t appreciate it and even mocked it.

-I don’t want to reconcile using such barbaric methods?

“Did you just call me and my friend barbaric?”

I might let it slide for others, but I can’t stand Cha Yeonho calling us barbaric. Anyone can see that Gyeon Hajun and I are much more cultured than Cha Yeonho.

This wasn’t even a case of the pot calling the kettle black – it was like a dirty dog picking on clean dogs that had nothing on them.

-Anyway, if you remember anything else…

I replied nonchalantly to Cha Yeonho, who couldn’t continue his words.

“Don’t block me. And next time we meet, don’t lie-“

Beep-

I was trying to say let’s not lie and have a sincere conversation, but why did he hang up suddenly without even listening to what I had to say?

What a strange person.

I clicked my tongue at Cha Yeonho’s absent-minded behavior, then brushed my bangs up at a sudden thought.

The reason why I specifically set the goal as success when I was swayed by the danger level or whatever.

If I think that the reason I was obsessed with success was because I believed that my accusations were buried like that because I wasn’t famous, because I had no influence…

Then I can understand why I was so sensitive to the 5th cycle’s Seo Yehyeon. I would have been annoyed since he was pushing the same failed method when I hadn’t succeeded in previous cycles. Especially when I didn’t know when I’d regress again.

There’s also the option that I might have been that desperate because dying at danger level 100, but if the current danger level holder Cha Yeonho says he won’t die even at danger level 100, then my earlier assumption would be correct.

I’m really living with an “oh well, never mind” mindset.

Checking the time, it was almost time for me to tell Lee Haewon to come to the studio.

To build a friendship, inviting someone to a personal space is the best approach. For now, the top priority was to build a friendship with Lee Haewon and unlock the memory fragment from him to check its contents.

“Hey, you’re here?”

I put on a friendly smiling mask and welcomed Lee Haewon.

If I could prevent newly produced victims and bring down this damn structure, I could willingly push aside uncomfortable feelings.

While I was busy with the flood of truths, DROP THE BEAT SEASON 6 Episode 4 also aired.

Episode 4 was all about the revival round and cipher. Except for the revival round that included promising contestants, it was also the part viewers were least interested in.

The mic battle that almost led to a fight and the Season 4 when I created memorable scenes were entertaining, but in Season 5, they couldn’t seem to create such scenes and changed it to be incredibly stable.

And the synonym for “stable” is “boring.” In just one season, the cipher fell from being a thrilling, incredibly fun part to a boring part.

Oh, by the way, Yupi and Nijeous were revived in the revival round and came back alive.

There were predictions that Yupi and Nijeous would face each other in the revival round, and we producers wanted to do that too, but the script told us not to. My prediction when I was a participant was correct.

The script did exist.

And the cipher that followed showed traces of trying to somehow overcome the reputation of being a boring part, but still couldn’t overcome the wall of boredom.

It’s not like the ice bucket challenge – the nomination cipher honestly isn’t that thrilling. At best, Dapnet’s specialty of evil editing managed to salvage some entertainment value.

They were fighting with “The broadcast atmosphere is down because the judges’ outfits are boring, so Yoon Eden should continue the fashion show” vs “What nonsense, it’s just boring because it’s a boring part” and “Hip-hop communities, stop obsessing over outfits, damn it” – such good energy.

We already finished filming wearing perfectly normal clothes.

What’s important to me isn’t DTB, where I won’t be active until the finals, but our youngest member Ryu Jaehee’s upcoming solo activities.

A video was uploaded to Rev’s official YouTube channel.

END… AND?

The opening scene of the video was the final part of the 【Double or Nothing】 music video, which was the double title track of Yoon Eden’s solo album.

Yoon Eden putting on a black long coat draped over a chair and walking leisurely toward the exit.

In the music video, the moment the door closed behind Yoon Eden as he left the room, gunshots rang out and the screen went black, but in this video, when the gunshots rang out, Yoon Eden glanced back.

Yoon Eden briefly shrugged his shoulders, straightened his head again, and rummaged through his coat pocket to pull out an in-ear monitor.

Then he placed the in-ear monitor on an outstretched palm.

Only one arm of the person receiving the in-ear monitor was visible on screen, but from the context, it was certain that the owner of that arm was the protagonist of the next solo activity.

Yoon Eden chuckled, reached out to pat what seemed to be the other person’s shoulder area, then continued walking with big strides and disappeared from the screen.

The palm with the in-ear monitor was shown in close-up, then the video ended with a scene of the hand gripping the in-ear monitor tightly.

Anyone could see it was a situation where Yoon Eden, who had finished his solo activities, was passing the baton to the next solo activity participant.

Daydream was buzzing with a healthy topic for once – predicting who the next solo activity participant shown in the video would be – rather than their usual complaints about strange fashion.

-Anyone can see those are our hamster’s front paws

└Is there such a big hamster…?

-When Eden reached out to pat the shoulder (presumably), his arm angle went up, and the only one in Rev with that kind of height difference from Eden is Yuje

-INSAAANE finally our main vocal king super cute hamster maknae is doing solo activities!!!! Even though he got 2nd place in Voice Legacy, I was a bit upset as Jaehee’s biggest fan that they didn’t strike while the iron was hot ㅠㅠ

-It’s time to show Rev’s main vocalist’s power!

-I want to see Doby’s killer performance stage… Please Doby…

-I want to see Yehyeon’s solo just once before I die, even if he just does choreography on stage and winks before coming down, please just once

-Hajun’s was just a single, not even a mini album, so it was too tantalizing, but what if that was part of a big picture for a full album coming out months later???

-The way they’re rushing through vocal line + main rap solo activities like this makes me so anxious… Don’t tell me there’s no comeback next year? If the company is just stretching out songs to keep them on music shows all year long…

-Yoon Eden looks cool again, kind of like a spoiler version of DTB villain outfit

To be precise, reactions confident it was Ryu Jaehee were 80%, reactions refusing to accept it until the end and clinging to faint hope while claiming their bias was the next participant were 15%, reactions applauding anyone were 4%, complaints about why Eden didn’t get this kind of promotion were 0.2%, complaints about why other members get such careful promotion when Hajun only got hip-hop warrior concept April Fool’s pranks that weren’t even funny were 0.3%, self-pitying reactions about how sad it was that there were almost no guesses that the next participant was Yehyeon were 0.1%, reactions criticizing making a big deal out of everything were 0.1%, and complaints asking why they only do solo activities and to stop solo activities and do group comebacks were 0.3%.

For Daydream girls who remembered the hellish spring and autumn warring states period of evil fans, this ratio was enough to shed tears of emotion at how much the fandom had restrained itself.

And 5 days after the video was uploaded.
