A Regression Guide for Idols Who Lost Their Initial Intentions Episode 64

[-If we mix this with the whipped cream, wouldn’t it become strawberry cream?]

[-It’s a waste to throw it away, so let’s put it in.]

[This is exactly how the strawberry cake ended up looking like this★]

-Oh Eden, oh no Eden

-Yuje’s fault for chopping the strawberries vs Eden’s fault for saying let’s put it in since it’s a waste

-It’s Yuje’s fault for actually putting it in *bang bang*

└What are you talking about, it’s Yoon Eden’s fault for suggesting to put it in first

└Why is this person going all out over a light joke

-Damn Kim Dobin calling it devil’s fruit lololol

[-What, this is surprisingly delicious.]

[-It’s just strawberry cake…? It definitely didn’t look like it visually.]

[Anyway, we ate it deliciously~]

-Saying that tastes good seems like the biggest scam of 20xx

-Is this a Truman Show without me?

-But wouldn’t it have to be delicious? It just looks like that visually, but it’s just whipped cream with chopped strawberries added

[Transform into animals!]

[Five small animals diligently decorating the Christmas tree♥]

-Yuje, instead of a pheasant it’s a chicken, no wait, instead of a hamster it’s a flying squirrel?

-How are those heights considered small animals?

-I can’t forget when someone asked if those cat pajamas Eden was wearing were a jaguar…

-Hey guys, hang the decorations evenly, why are you dividing territories? Bell zone/Santa figure zone/ball zone/ribbon zone like this?

[And… the long-awaited gift reveal TIME!]

[Starting with the oldest hyung’s gift box reveal]

[-TO. Seo Yehyeon FROM. Yoon Eden. Merry Christmas.]

-A muffler and skincare set is pretty safe

-I bet our house’s Rev Mini Album 1 that he searched “gifts for men in their 20s” and picked these

└Is that bet meaningful?

-Both of those have some price to them, is this a copyright fee FLEX?

[Yuje’s gift box opening!]

[-Hajun hyung! I really wanted this music box, how did you know…!]

-Yuje was so touched

-Seeing Doby smile proudly, I bet Doby subtly hinted or Hajun asked him to probe

-That music box alone costs over 50,000 won and the earphones are over 100,000 won

[What’s in Doby’s gift box?]

[-Whoa, it’s money, money!]

-Wow the sense of putting money inside the wallet is insane

-As expected, good looks good spirit

-Why is he doing a deep bow lolol suddenly the atmosphere became like a holiday lolol

-He likes the money more than the wallet lol

-That also has some price to it right? The hyung line spent some money huh?

[Hajun’s gift box contents revealed!]

-Isn’t that tumbler this season’s Starbucks MD? lololol

-That mood light was 10% off on KakaoTalk gift service, wonder if Doby paid full price or got the discount

-Even combined it’s less than 50,000 won, where did he pocket the money?

└Ah damn shady, calculating that stuff

└He probably spent it wisely on his own

└No but the hyungs spent way over the 50,000 won support fund and he received hundreds of thousands of won worth of gifts but didn’t even spend the full 50,000 won support fund, that’s annoying lol

└If you want to beat up a minor for spending less money than adults out of spite, that’s a mental illness

-He prepared well within budget with good sense, stop picking on the kid, sheesh!

[Eden’s gift box shocking reveal!]

[-Yuje Dream.]

[-Why aren’t you reading the modifier ‘cutest in the world’ in front?]

[-Because you’re not cute.]

-Look at Eden being so firm lololol

-It’s a perfect gift from health-conscious Eden lolol vitamins and nutritional supplements and what’s with the negative ion bracelet lolol

-Jaehee, that snapback is too much your preferred style… hehe

└But he chose the piercing well, it would look pretty if Eden wore it

-This one seems to hit exactly 50,000 won?

-This is hilarious lolol calling it a Parents’ Day filial gift lolol

-Is this funny? I’m just pissed off. Ryu Jaehee and Kim Dobin didn’t spend a penny of their own money and got expensive gifts while the same-age ones spent their own money just because they picked those guys and got trash they won’t even use? Seriously the negative ion bracelet isn’t even funny.

└Agreed, Seo Yehyeon probably felt damn relieved seeing the gifts the same-age ones got, knowing he picked Yoon Eden

└Again the mentally ill trolls are trying to start up the hate board

└Don’t show your evil fan nature here, please just crawl into your own cesspool and play there

[-Are you all satisfied with the gifts you received?]

[-Yes, we were satisfied.]

-The kids are all satisfied with their gifts! All you complainers disperse!

└Of course they have to say they’re satisfied in front of the camera lol

-Ah this is why I was anxious when they said personal funds were okay, I wished the production team had set a constraint like within a 50,000 won limit

-For real, only the youngest ones are getting hate for no reason

[Music video filming wrapping up smoothly]

[Q. How was today?]

[Yehyeon: It was fun, and decorating the tree is most memorable. Maybe because it’s the first time I’ve done it at twenty-one.]

[Eden: Cake… baking is something I learned we should absolutely never do. It was also fun seeing the gifts we prepared for each other.]

[Hajun: It was even more enjoyable being with the members.]

[Yuje: Thinking of it as a surprise gift for the fans, I guess I was excited throughout the filming? That’s how it felt.]

[Doby: After hearing “Merry Christmas” all day, it really feels like Christmas now. Even though Christmas is still far away. Oh right, this airs on Christmas Day. Everyone, it’s really Christmas!]

-I really loved the Christmas surprise gift, guys ㅜㅜ

-This week was really fun, I wish they’d film and show us every time they do recording work

-I was disappointed that the All Right All Night making video wasn’t released, but they released everything they filmed today

-If that attention-seeking troublemaker hadn’t thrown cold water on everything, I would’ve enjoyed watching it to the end

-Yoon Eden and Gyeon Hajun definitely either shoved those gifts somewhere or threw them away

└Ah, stop obsessing over the gifts

└No way https://twxxxer.com/LnL_reve/status/975447812 look at this before talking shit

* * *

After Christmas’s S Company Music Awards and the reality show broadcast safely passed, the year-end approached.

K Company’s Music Festival had not only Rev’s stage scheduled, but also a collaboration with Adora and even a certain ending featuring.

We would perform the first verse of , Adora would perform the second verse, and only the final chorus would be performed together, so we only had about three joint rehearsals.

“Wow, thanks to our Doby, I’m even wearing clothes like this in the middle of winter.”

I muttered in a gloomy voice while tugging at my suspenders.

Shorts and knee-high socks in this weather. The irony was even worse since the top was a fluffy ivory knit sweater.

“Can’t you say it’s thanks to me that we’re even doing a collaboration stage like this…?”

Kim Dobin, who had wrapped his legs tightly in a blanket, replied timidly while shivering.

Seo Yehyeon, who had been covering his eyes with his arms before getting scolded by the stylist and switching to just squeezing his eyes shut, said weakly.

“I don’t care about anything else, let’s never wear shorts this short as stage costumes again… Maybe if they were 5-part length sweatpants…”

“If we go with a fresh concept, there might be fans who want shorts.”

“No… I think they’d actually back away once they see us like this.”

Since it was a costume matched to the pure and lively concept of and Adora’s stage outfit, we had no choice.

The cute knee-high socks and short shorts fashion on sturdy guys with an average height of 179.2cm was just solemn.

Really, if the pants had been even 5-part length like Seo Yehyeon said, it wouldn’t have been this terrible.

And when Ryu Jaehee, who’s currently dragging down our height average, hits his growth spurt and gets taller, our average height will rise to 181.2cm.

This means shorts fashion will remain out of reach in the future too. Everyone seemed to know it was visual terrorism as they were modestly covering their bare legs with blankets.

“The collaboration stage video will be uploaded to YouTube today, right…?”

“Probably.”

“If I report it like crazy, will it get taken down…?”

“This guy has no ambition. You should be thinking about raising the view count by one more to increase fan influx by even one more person, but reporting? Reporting?”

Do you know the hardship I have to endure making 30 million fans happy? Huh?

“Just adapt to this outfit first, hyung. It looks okay now that I keep looking at it.”

Damn Seo Yehyeon. Making me defend this outfit with my own mouth. Since everyone was looking at me like I was crazy, I buried my head in my phone and had some Weekly Quest search time.

In the past, I just searched for Rev or Yoon Eden on SNS or the internet to kill the minimum 10 minutes, but now I was using search time efficiently by doing proper monitoring and browsing communities.

Right now, Silver Disc and Naon Chart voting was open, so it was buzzing again with rookie award talk. This one was more respected than WAMA, so it was more intense than during WAMA voting.

-Why are KICKS so fired up?

└They must be so bitter about losing the Inmu 1st place to Rev during their promotion period

-Why are they eating well, damn it, even if they eat well, we who got beaten up and hated as a check pick group should eat more

-Just having WAMA is enough to make our kids clap from the artist seats. Let’s focus all our voting power on Sildi and Naon ㄱㄱ

Silver Disc Rookie Award voting and Naon Chart Music Award Rookie Award voting currently had KICKS slightly ahead.

Although Rev surpassed KICKS in YouTube music video views, album sales, and music source rankings, since it wasn’t a dramatic difference, losing in voting felt somewhat unpleasant.

‘But what can I do. It’s not like I can manipulate the votes.’

What would past Yoon Eden have thought if he saw me getting anxious over a difference of just a few thousand votes while watching the voting?

That Yoon Eden from back then, who never even dreamed of a rookie award and was only worrying about a dark, invisible future.

The only reason current me had even the slightest attachment to the rookie award was because our rival was KICKS – if KICKS hadn’t existed, I wouldn’t have cared. Because I’d never coveted a rookie award before.

For Rev before regression, rookie awards were stories from another world, and when rookie award voting was happening, we weren’t even thinking about rookie awards but worrying about whether the group would survive.

That made sense because we were already coming back with shitty songs, and the January comeback lineup was so brilliant that we couldn’t see any path forward.

By my standards, Rev’s December 7 years ago was depressingly gloomy, but Rev’s current December was so insanely busy I couldn’t even fall into sentimentality.

Gyeon Hajun’s touch snapped me out of my thoughts as we headed toward the stage.

Everyone was desperately holding their heads up high, trying not to look below the waist.

“Let’s skip the fighting cheer. I feel like I’ll see bare legs below if we put our hands together.”

Even Ryu Jaehee, who always took the lead in chants, shook his head and hands simultaneously.

So we went up on stage with our heads held stiffly high.
