Chapter 192
- Dobin Hyung, don't grow up. We need someone like you in the group.
- Dobin, you're the best mentor. Thank you always.
- Dobin, everything's great, but go to bed early! You'll never grow taller otherwise.
- Just 3 more centimeters! Because you're the only one in the 170s, Reve's average height is only 180.6cm right now.
- Dobin: Did everyone write such short messages?
- Eden: You're the one who wrote the shortest holiday greetings out of season and milked them for four times! Do you even have a conscience?
Yoon Eden's pointed remark hit home, and Kim Dobin subtly changed the subject.
Dobin: And two out of the four are about height! Just grow 3cm taller? I'm already the shortest in Reve and it's frustrating! Who wrote this?! Is this supposed to be a New Year's blessing?!
Eden: That was me.
Dobin: Since it's the Leader's blessing, I'll do my best to grow taller!
Swift change of attitude
Next up was Gyeon Hajun's turn.
-Keep being my guide vocalist forever. There's no voice like yours.
-I always feel sorry for burdening you with so much work, and I'm grateful. I've been worried that I'm not fulfilling my role as the Eldest Member properly and that I'm putting too much pressure on you. From now on, I'll try to be a Hyung you can rely on, even if just a little.
Happy New Year!
I'll work even harder to help you in the future, Hyung! Let me know whenever you're struggling! I can do anything except cook, haha.
Hajun: Thanks, everyone. I'm touched.
Gyeon Hajun said this flatly, his face showing no particular emotion.
Why did Yoon Eden propose alone?
└[ Isn't that just a lifelong declaration of vocal exploitation...? ]
Our youngest member, you know I always rely on you and am grateful, right? It's kind of embarrassing for a Hyung to lean on his younger brother, but what can I do? You're just more mature than me. Still, you can always lean on my shoulder whenever you need a place to rest. Good luck on the college entrance exam!
- Thanks for always helping out at the dorm. Good luck on the SATs! I'll pack you a delicious lunch.
- Happy New Year!
- Good luck on the SATs! I'll pray that all your guesses are right. I can't bring myself to do 108 bows, though, in case my knees give out...
Yuje: Eden Hyung actually wrote pretty long messages for everyone except Hajun Hyung and Dobin Hyung. Aww, Hajun Hyung, what are you thanking me for? It's just natural.
Eden: Well, with Hajun, there's nothing I couldn't say to his face, so I didn't have anything to keep bottled up.
Dobin: Gyeon Hajun... No, stop discriminating against Kim Dobin!
Eden: You know what, if I wrote a long message for you, it would turn into a whole page of nagging! Satisfied?!
After the youngest member finished revealing their Role Paper, the Reve members stood in a line before the camera.
Reve: We wish all our viewers a joyful Chuseok holiday with your families!
"It's over. Change the channel back to the news."
"Ah, Grandfather! Wait a minute! They said there's a post-credits scene!"
"Yoon Jeonga."
"Jeonga, come watch it in the living room!"
"Ugh, why didn't you just let me watch it earlier?!"
※Post-Credits Scene※
A subtitle announcing the post-credits scene appeared, followed by footage of the Reve members brainstorming each other's character settings before filming their sitcom.
- Wow, everyone's united on Yehyeon's setting, lol. I can't imagine that face doing anything other than being a celebrity either.
- It's a shame Jun's setting didn't make it in. The actor would have had so much fun with it...
[Eden: No, why is Yehyeon Hyung a successful celebrity while I'm the prodigal son who ran off to pursue music, only to return after ten years with no hit album and as a complete bum?!]
- The backstory is unnecessarily detailed, lol.
- What's with the leader image they're giving the members? ㅋㅋ
- Look at Yuje desperately trying to explain himself after calling himself a bum, lol.
As the post-credits scene ended, a preview for next week's episode of [ Reve Time ] appeared. The preview briefly showed the scene everyone had been eagerly anticipating.
[Next Week!]
[Eden: Let's eat.]
[Yehyeon: Come to think of it... I'm the eldest?]
[Dobin: When did we start doing this...?]
[Reve Human Theater: Five Brothers Under One Roof will air.]
- Is the secret behind the nonsensical patriarchal dining table rules finally being revealed?
- Our kids aren't comedians... Believe it or not, they're idols...
- I was watching at my grandmother's house, and my cousin, who's obsessed with Risa and Drop The Beat, recognized Eden right away, lol.
The first episode got such a great response that I felt a bit pressured, but thankfully, the Chuseok special of Reve Time surpassed even that.
There were even comments about families laughing together while watching it.
[ Yoon Jeonga - Oppa didn't come home for Chuseok, so I couldn't hog the living room TV ㅠ ] 3:31 PM
[ ? So what? ] 3:32 PM
[ Yoon Jeonga - So I told Grandfather I wanted to show him Oppa's face and watched the Reve Time Chuseok special with him in the living room. ] 3:33 PM
[ Yoon Jeonga - But Grandfather got pissed when he saw what Oppa looked like. ] 3:34 PM
Fuck, I didn't realize my family was watching too.
"Ugh! Yoon Jeonga, are you crazy?! Why would you watch that with Grandfather?!"
No wonder Grandfather had been calling me non-stop! I'd blocked his number, assuming it was just his usual nagging about why I wasn't coming home for the holidays. Turns out, I'd narrowly avoided a torrent of curses instead.
Blocking him was the right move. My instincts were spot-on.
I immediately called Yoon Jeonga.
"Wait, you're terrified of Grandfather. Why would you want to watch that with him?"
-To see Yehyeon Oppa's face, I'd endure anything. I got chewed out afterward, though... Grandfather was furious. Even when I started tearing up, he wouldn't budge...
What kind of fan devotion drives Yoon Jeonga to do things she'd never normally consider?
"What's with 'You're a senior in high school, so you're pissed off at adults'?"
Who is this? Is this Eden Oppa's phone? If Daydream knew how you acted in front of Grandfather, they'd add 'hypocritical old man' to your nicknames.
"Ah, say goodbye to the Seo Yehyeon limited-edition photocard you asked for. Goodbye. By the way, it's 'Goodbye,' not 'Hi.'"
No, Oppa, wait!
Ignoring Yoon Jeonga's urgent voice, I hung up.
You're getting blocked along with Grandfather for a while. I even bought you an expensive chocolate set to wish you good luck on the college entrance exam, and you repay my kindness with betrayal?
Anyway, after wrapping up our brief schedule in Japan, we returned to Korea and received briefings on the projects planned for the second half of this year and the first half of next year.
For the second half of this year, we have our Japanese debut showcase scheduled for late November. And for the first half of next year...
"Oh, are we finally having a concert?"
Reve's first solo concert was finally confirmed, set for late February. We planned to unveil our new song and perform its debut stage at the concert.
"Aww, not the Olympic Gymnastics Arena?"
"Worry about filling the Jamsil Indoor Stadium we booked this time first, okay?" Ryu Jaehee snapped, raising an eyebrow at Kim Dobin's grumbling.
With over four and a half months until late February, we had ample time to prepare. Combined with the new song, we had more than enough material to fill the setlist.
The problem was juggling our Japanese debut, album preparations, and concert preparations simultaneously. Even if we had two bodies, it wouldn't be enough.
Our Japanese debut wouldn't require a separate music video; we were just planning to release a translated version of our full album The Song. This shouldn't take up too much time. But preparing the album and the concert simultaneously... hmm...
"If it's too much, we could postpone the concert to March and still make our comeback in February as planned," the CEO suggested.
The new Planning Director shook his head firmly. "February is definitely better than March."
Seeing his resolute demeanor and hearing his detailed explanation of why February was crucial, I felt relieved. This Planning Director seemed different from the previous one—not a Clap Bot or a Yes-Man Bot.
After receiving the schedule, I opened social media on the way back to the dorm to conduct a "Search Quest." To my surprise, my name was trending for the first time in ages:
Reve Eden Diss
The situation is this:
Thanks to Drop The Beat's sudden surge in popularity, the rappers who appeared on Season 3 started getting a lot of attention. Apparently, some underground purist couldn't stand it and released a massive diss track targeting all the rappers from Season 3—producers and contestants alike. In a way, the guy had guts.
The track could have easily been dismissed as the desperate rant of some nobody from the fringes, but fate—or misfortune—intervened. BQ9, the runner-up of the season, responded with a counter-diss track, dragging the original diss track into the spotlight.
Yu Taeguen @ytgreal
Downloaded Slander Beat
7,102 shares 412 retweets 9,135 likes
The rappers mentioned in this diss track immediately retaliated with their own diss tracks, initiating a full-blown beef.
So, what exactly is the "Slander Beat" that Yu Taeguen mentioned?
An American rapper released a song titled "Slander," which broadly targeted and dissed several prominent American rappers.
After that, the "Slander Beat" became a popular choice for diss tracks. Now, most of the retaliatory diss tracks against Drop The Beat's mass-targeting diss track were using the Slander Beat.
Why did "Reve Eden Diss" start trending?
Because that bastard dissed Yongcheol Hyung and me in the same track.
To Yongcheol Hyung, he's just a jerk who unfairly won by exploiting idol popularity votes.
To me, an idol should just stick to doing heart dances and acting cute on stage, not crawling into the hip-hop scene and muddying the waters.
You'd think I was on Drop The Beat or something. I only did a feature, so why are you dissing me longer than Yongcheol Hyung, you fucking idiot? And for the record, I've never done a heart dance on stage.
As I explained, Ryu Jaehee nodded along, then suddenly turned serious and asked, "Hyung, you're not thinking of dropping a counter-diss track and joining this war, are you?"
"Huh? I'm already downloading Slander Beat."
At my nonchalant reply, Ryu Jaehee shouted urgently, "Take it away, Dobin Hyung! Get Eden Hyung's phone now!"
