A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Original Intent Episode 610

“Well, if G-TE gets eliminated here, the G1 & Rok Han team will get attention as a team that advanced two members, just like the Gongcheol & BQ9 team in Season 4. If that happens, our team’s greatest merit – being a team with two championship candidates – will completely disappear. The G1 & Rok Han team also has that idol rapper the production crew keeps pushing as the post-Yoon Eden, and if those two with their built-up narrative face off, attention will definitely shift more toward them…”

I expected either a competitive “Yes” or a confidence-lacking “No, but still…” but suddenly Yupi was seriously analyzing the situation.

Seeing him do this even without cameras around, it seems this really is his actual personality, not a broadcast concept.

Unlike Hyeongjin and me, who were making fed-up expressions, Yongcheol Hyung nodded along while listening to Yupi’s words with an interested face.

Since Yongcheol Hyung is also quite the worry doll with many thoughts and concerns, he probably liked having the reasoning explained in such detail.

“Certainly, the best route right now is to take down HYEQ and have our entire team advance. Either way, as Producer Yoon Eden said, we’ll have to face them at least once, whether in the finals or semifinals.”

“So what’s the conclusion?”

“I’ll face HYEQ.”

Yupi coolly gave the answer I wanted. Then he looked at me with very surprised eyes and added a comment.

“I thought you were just pure aggro, but you’re… smarter than I expected?”

Honestly, I hadn’t thought that far, but I shamelessly nodded as if I had already considered everything Yupi mentioned.

If he’s going to misunderstand on his own and neatly fold away his intention to manipulate me, that’s a win for me.

“Hey, ‘than expected’? Eden is smart. You don’t know how clever this kid is. He just doesn’t study, that’s all.”

Yongcheol Hyung was scolding Yupi while delivering our mom’s signature line.

Yongcheol Hyung is… our mom…?

While I was having nonsensical thoughts, Hyeongjin poked me and asked.

“By the way, are you planning to keep your head like that?”

Does he think my brain has some ON/OFF function? – I was about to say something with a very sarcastic face, but Hyeongjin beat me to it and added before I could speak.

“You’re going to stand out like crazy on stage by yourself.”

I wondered what the correlation was between my smart brain and standing out alone on stage, until I spotted my silver-glinting hair in the mirror under the lights and finally understood what Hyeongjin meant.

Ah, he meant that head, not this head.

Since the mourning period for melanin pigment wasn’t over yet, I couldn’t cover it with black.

And although the hip-hop scene criticizes good-looking guys way more than ugly ones, I personally believed that looks weren’t particularly important in rap.

“Worrying is also fate, Hyeongjin. If you rap at a crushing level, the audience won’t even notice my hair, man.”

I even graciously provided evidence right before Hyeongjin’s still-distrustful eyes.

“Look, even in our group there’s someone better-looking than me, but he doesn’t stand out alone on stage. See? Even when I rap, I don’t get overshadowed by looks.”

It was Rev’s music show stage video. I deliberately found a stage where Seo Yehyeon and my movements overlapped a lot, so when I appeared on screen during my rap part, Seo Yehyeon was also visible in the background.

“Isn’t comparing this case to that case too cruel to G-TE? First of all, the difference in stage presence and looks between Producer Yoon Eden and G-TE is…”

“This hyung really speaks too harshly?”

“No, putting all pride aside, you at least shouldn’t get overshadowed when standing on stage together, G-TE. We’re in the same boat until the finals.”

At Yupi’s brutal honesty, Hyeongjin reluctantly nodded slowly with a face that said he didn’t want to admit it. Even I thought the difference in looks between Hyeongjin and me was greater than between me and Seo Yehyeon.

“Well, Yupi hyung’s looks difference is even greater than mine. Yoon Eden, you going out there with that shining head would be doing something terrible to Yupi hyung too.”

These two seem to have made it a habit to diss each other while dragging me into it.

“Fine, I’ll just wear a snapback or bucket hat when I go on stage.”

In keeping with our team’s style of ‘consideration and compromise,’ I reluctantly took a step back.

After roughly finishing the detailed bracket arrangement, as soon as I came to the dormitory and headed to my room, Ryu Jaehee followed me in.

Ryu Jaehee sat down firmly on my bed with a serious face and looked up at me with a worried expression, giving me a warning.

“Hyung hyung, be careful because weird posts about you have been going up frequently lately.”

“Weird posts? What kind of posts? Not plagiarism rumors, dating rumors, club rumors, drug rumors, right?”

I had become slightly sensitive to these issues after that alt account thing and the dating rumors with Juseong Hyung. I used to live completely unaware because I never looked them up.

“Not that, but it’s DTB-related posts…”

As soon as I heard it was DTB-related, I felt a bit relieved. DTB meant criticism about my fashion show and raising a million concept-obsessed fans, and questioning the qualifications and qualities of an idol rapper who was only in the underground scene for 2 years as a judge.

“They’re posts that really hate and criticize you and your team. Every time a post goes up, your younger members or should I say followers… anyway, they do get beaten up by hip-hop fans, but it doesn’t look good.”

Ryu Jaehee handed me his phone with an uncomfortable expression. Screenshot posts were lined up in a long sequence.

What’s so good about Yoon Eden appearing as a producer that you’re all making such a damn fuss?

Author: Anonymous

Look at the class of people praising the bastard who created a hip-hop fashion show

That’s why you get called pig fashion hip-hop addicts

Comments 3

-Punchline gets 0 points

-Don’t criticize our hyung who saved DTB from being trash

-Real hip-hop fans filter out DTB as a collaboration program between hip-hop snobs, wannabes, and rappers doing short-term celebrity making, not hip-hop, but why are you forcing yourself to watch it while having hip-hop addict pride…?

Are you guys really pigs?

Author: Anonymous

Yoon Eden came out dressed like that with an atoning heart and handled the concept addicts through self-sacrifice?

Are you serious? Do you really believe that? What the fuck happened to your intelligence?

Comments 2

-Then would our hyung, who’s fucking sensitive about fashion, have worn those clothes because he really loved them and wanted to wear them?

-These bastards would’ve criticized my bro for acting all high and mighty without even trying to fix things if he had worn normal clothes and acted pretentious ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Let’s see how far this goes, but it’s been 3 weeks straight of clothing bullshit

Author: Anonymous

Ah, wearing all black with a long coat in this weather looks fucking attention-seeking and disgusting

If you want to have a fashion show in hip-hop so badly, put makeup on your face and go shoot a pictorial, shit

Comments 3

-Ah, so this is what ‘jealousy’ looks like

-Inferiority complex is oozing from every single letter

-Must be upset because he can’t wear long coats since they’d drag on the ground

Just seeing Yoon Eden’s face makes me grind my teeth

Author: Anonymous

Do I have to see the face type I hated most in school even on TV? Please voluntarily leave, shit

Comments 2

-Ah, so you’re acting like this because of your loser trauma

-Well, losers who wanted to be popular kids in the hip-hop scene full of losers might react like this when they see a face that brings back real memories of being errand boys, I understand

20xx-07-31 00:15 Views: 27

Ah shit, Yu Pina and G-TE are so fucking annoying

When told to diss each other, they dragged Yoon Eden into it

Are you that hungry for fangirl votes? Don’t say you do hip-hop, shit

Comments 3

-Do they think the Yoon fangirls are gonna vote for them just because of that? They’d be lucky if those two don’t get beaten up for dragging their oppa along. Tsk tsk, this is why you’re such a loser

-Is there demand for that love triangle among women?

-ㅂㅁㄱ ㅅㄱ

______________________________

As they say, even a dog at a village school can recite poetry after three years – as a 5-year veteran of monitoring, I could immediately catch that this was written by one person.

So it had no impact on me at all. If this were all different people, I’d think ‘Oh, okay. The Korean hip-hop scene doesn’t want me’ and leave cleanly, but when one person keeps posting like this consistently, I could just brush it off thinking ‘There are people who even criticize Seo Yehyeon’s face as ordinary, so whatever.’

People’s tastes are subjective after all.

When someone’s taste and aesthetic sense are so high up in the sky that they can’t feel any of the world’s joy and beauty, what can I do about it?

It’s hard for them to live, not for me, right?

“All of these were written by the same IP, and besides these, they wrote an incredible amount of posts almost daily.”

Ryu Jaehee said carefully. Even these hate comments he showed me now were probably filtered and selected by Jaehee’s standards to show me only the ones worth showing.

But if it wasn’t a serious matter, Ryu Jaehee would have quietly handled it without informing me, so the fact that he specifically showed it to me means this is a serious issue…

Just looking at the posts, they seemed like ordinary hate comments that usually get posted, so I couldn’t feel any particular seriousness and was slightly puzzled for a moment.

“I’m concerned about the reply this hater left on their last post…”

I was googling the title on my phone to report the post and comments that dared call us Daydream fangirls, but at Ryu Jaehee’s words, I stretched my neck out again and turned my gaze to Ryu Jaehee’s phone screen.

The last post that Ryu Jaehee had enlarged for easy viewing came into sight.

Avengers my ass, they’re Gotham villains

I hate Yupi who schemes, G-TE who acts like an idol fanboy, and D.I. who beat BQ with his looks and idol connections, but I hate Yoon Eden the fucking most

But these four are on the same team? I hope they all get eliminated in the second round of finals so I don’t have to see their faces until the finals

Comments 4

-This bastard’s here again

-With this level of consistent posting, it’s unconscious fan conversion in my opinion

-You seriously think a team with two championship contenders, plus Yoon Iden as producer AND featuring, could get completely eliminated in round 2? Seriously?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Yeah, I just need to ruin those bastards’ performance and that’s it lol
