![Getting to know Dreamcatcher :) - [These ladies are honestly BEYOND AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!]](/img/n.gif)
If you are interested in the story of the group, there's Mera dreamcatcher guide "Dodging disbandment and other extreme sports", old but gold
Agreed! It's a bit outdated but very very good video!
Definitely a must to watch for every baby inSomnia.
By the way. Did you know that Mera made à 2nd after their 1st win? It's not a sequel to dodging disbandment, but still... kind of. 😉
We will definitely be doing "dodging disbandment and other extreme sports" soon. It's a super interesting topic.
Thanks a lot for the recommendation🙏🩵
I feel like the best video for what u want would be The ultimate 2021/2022 guide by dreamworld and also the video dreamcatcher dodging disbandment.
Handong was gone for a year. She's in Korea on a work visa. When Covid broke out all visas issued in Wuhan were cancelled by the South Korean government. Handong is from Wuhan.
Siyeon has a niece, Lucky, not a nephew.
Korea has spent most of it's history with frequent famines and mass starvation. The last time was the period during the Korean War and for a few years after. Saying 'have you eaten' when you meet some one is the same as a Westerner saying 'how are you'.
Gahyeon doesn't like being called cute if she's trying to be cool, but when she's going for cute you'd better call her cute!
23:22 NOOOO THEY MEANT FORGETFUL😭😭😭
The dodging disbandment guide one will tell you more about their history if you're still interested
You should try other guide also. I felt this one missed a lot of what other guides have covered.
I think the switch to the rock sound when they formed Dreamcatcher was based on two big factors. The first being that the CEO of Happyface was a BIG Jrock fan and I think he even worked with some Jrock groups before he joined Happyface. The second big factor is Siyeon. Siyeon was actually in a rock band in high school and loved rock music. She actually auditioned at Happyface to be a solo singer and had no intension of being in an Idol group. When the company told her she was debuting in a cutesy girl group she was pretty shocked and had a HUGE learning curve when it came to dancing. So, when MINX got buried under all the major girl group debuts that happened around the same time, I think the CEO took a chance and redebuted them with Siyeon's skillset in mind. Which, is interesting that you said Siyeon fits the concept so well. 😁
However, alot of the other members were super nervous about the switch in concept because they really haven't ever trained in rock vocals before. But, through their determination and dedication, every member has blossomed as rock vocalists and just vocalists in general. They recently came out with a rock version of their ballad Lullaby off their second album and comparing the vocals from then and now is amazing! ^_^
Yo, im so mad rn. I was typing since last year (joking here) and reuploaded the page by a mistake and lost my comment.
I was saying:
Im not trying to hate anything here, but sadly, this guide is not that good honestly. It shows some stuffs for the girls, but thats all.
The guide from 2021/22 is the best guide out there. It has way more stuffs from the group, from the girls and even recommendations to know them better in general. Interviews, streams, parodies, shows, etc.
Jiu is the leader and the oldest member. But she is like a kid sometimes. By her personality, u can kwow her for being the fake maknae or even the dad (mainly because the bad jokes). She is my bias and for sure (imo at least) the most cute member towards fun. You'll notice her crying pretty much in every single concert at some point. Or being the last member on going out the stage saying goodbye to every single one there.
Sua is pretty much the mother of the group, she takes care of every single member. She is lovely but has a strong personality. She is quite formal aswell.
She is known for her dance, but her singing voice... is not joke. You'll get even more in love with her with time, there is too much content. At this point, she is doing the impossible to take the bias title out from Jiu for me.
Siyeon is the most random member by far. You'll never know what the h3ll is going on in her brain.
Handong is quite mysterious and shy, introvert and PERVERT.
Yoohyeon is the puppy of the group, she is playful, mischievous and known as Tom and Jerry (with Sua).
Dami is the most calm member. She write a lot for the group. She barely eats (the members gets shock when she asks for food tbh haha) and ye, her vocals are really good.
Gahyeon is the most cute human being out there (She "doesnt like" being called cute). She is nowdays the most loud member and she is savage for sure.
They renewed their contracts and we have dreamcatcher for years :D. They are like a real family. They travel together, they live together, they play together... They are very united.
Important note: if u wanna know more stuffs about their personalities, you both need to watch the "This is..." series from Insomnicsy (videos from 2020 to 2023 so far). Those are short videos (around 7 mins) but every single clip is crazy good. In fact, Insomnicsy is imo the most important content creator out there if you want content from the girls.
THANS YOU for reacting to Dreamcatcher. Love the content, love the girls. Welcome to our dreamworld :D And you'll ever be welcome here. And i hope you both became InSomnias together :D.
True, I appreciate the person who did the guide trying to help, but there are much better guides that this one
@@naivet Yea, i agree. ofc, the guide is great and im thankful for that. But it could be even better and we need the best to convert new people :P
All hail Insomnicsy! Absolutely, if you want to get a grasp on the Deukae personalities, nothing better than her channel (and "This is ..." series in particular)!
The extensive guide of Dreamcatcher 2023 is also a good one and the most updated. Although I have to say 2021/2022 remain superior but for newer people who choose the most update guides to see, not a bad choice.
The "Visual" posistion is actually not only because they think that she's the prettiest or something(they are all pretty), the "visual".position is actually the member who fits closest to KBS(korean beauty standards)
Their roles are a bit weird. The only proper roles in the group are main dancer (Sua), main rapper (Dami), main vocal (Siyeon) and leader (Jiu) and they are the only ones doing those specific role responsibilities. Yoohyeon shares main vocal duties with Siyeon on b-sides, Dami does a lot of singing, Jiu and Sua co-parent the group and all of them are above average dancers. But the members generally do all the things, all the members do the high notes or killing parts, all of them have been centre during dance breaks at certain points. The roles mostly carried over from their time as Minx. The reason Gahyeon and Handong are sub vocalists was because they trained for only 6 months each and debuted before an official role was picked out for them, they sort of developed their skills and found their parts during their career as active idols. Gahyeon isn't officially a lead rapper and the fandom refers to her as such because Sua who was the original lead rapper later said she prefers to focus on vocals and considers Gahyeon a better rapper than her. The sub-vocalists of the group Sua, Gahyeon and Handong have actually covered and nailed one of their hardest vocal covers (twinkle by snsd)
Heyyyy ultimate insomnia here... I LOVE WATCHING DREAMCATCHER REACTIONS.....
May I recommend this IS ..... 2023 version by Insomnicsy, they should you each member personality ❤😂
They made LOVE Shake OT7 in a concert
18:52 Yeah, Handong was stuck in China back then. Coincidentally, her hometown is Wuhan. Where it all started...luckily, she didn't get infected by the CV19 virus until now...the period from end of 2019 until 2021 was a nightmare for entire world...
As someone said below, this guide is not really good, normally the go to is the guide made by Dreamworld. There they show better clips of their personalities and performances, and also that guide shows a bit of every title track and some Bsides. In this guide the clips are super random for their personalities, and the performance clips don't really show their their wide range, seems like the person making the guide doesn't know much about what parts are more vocally demanding in a song. I appreciate the effort in making the guide, but this isn't it in my opinion. Also if you wanna know their history you should react to Dreamctcher dodging disbandment
idk if the guide says it or if someone else has said it but i wanna say most of the members absolutely hate the minx era. handong and gahyeon often make jokes about the era and sing/dance to the songs but the others don't like talking about it. dami for example hates the era because she was a minor at the time and was forced into a sexy concept and to wear short and revealing clothes, plus if you watch the mvs a lot of the scenes are closeups to their legs/feet/thighs. siyeon has some sort of trauma from back then, here's a quote of her talking about the time: "just thinking of then, my eyes would turn red. during that period, all of the members fell into a slump severely. i refused to and hated to listen to any kinds of songs. every time i laid in bed, i cried a lot.". another example would be sua being uncomfortable with people like stylists and such touching her hair because of the short hair she used to have, unsure why exactly but it's related to something that happened during minx era. Overall as i said, most of the members don't really like talking about that time in their career. jiu jokes about it from time to time but generally it's kind of an unspoken rule for insomnias to not mention/talk about minx with the girls
I do reccomend a more detailed guide to actually get to know their personality and some backstory but this is a alright one to start off with
27:12 yes it’s korean culture to ask someone if they ate, that shows that they care for you.
Sunmi (the singer Yoohyeon is a fan of) debuted in 2007 (she was in a girl group but has been a soloist for years now) so her telling them to call her if they need everything is so nice because she knows a lot about the industry. She is amazing
The history of origin of dreamcatcher is fascinating and very traumatic for the girls who were originally in minx. To know more about their origin pls react to this backstory summary of theirs
czcams.com/video/YIgCAp3i1os/video.htmlsi=HiOwqCAgqRxP3ju1
21:34 Yoohyeon introduced herself as "Afghan hound" (though in Korean pronunciation)
27:03 It might also be in the K-pop sense. Sunmi, having been like forever in the industry, well knows that many groups are forced to diet in unhealthy ways. Fortunately, Dreamcatcher eats well, and diets healthily. For example, Gahyeon was not satisfied with her weight, and exercised and dieted properly and because she wanted to, till she got the figure she was happy with.
31:41 Dami does not have her own dorm. She has her own _room_ in the dorm, as the most private and introverted member. She used to share a room with JiU and Siyeon, but when their manager stopped living with them, she moved into their old room.
37:48 Their ranks in Mixnine are completely irrelevant, since they withdrew from the competition mid-way. Their ranks are basically the default bottom positions among the members surviving at the time of their last episode. They would have been much higher if they remained, given their positions before they left the show.
38:12 As others said, the best way to know about their "come up" is mera's Dodging Disbandment: History of Dreamcatcher. And the best way to meet and remember the members are the "This is ..." videos by Insomnicsy. They come in seasons, and they don't supplant each other; it is best to start with the 2020 season, and continue chronologically if you like, since earlier seasons give more "basic" introductions, and later ones add more detail, if that makes sense.
39:23 Before Dreamcatcher, most of them did not know much about rock, and were worried if the redebut would succeed, because rock was not popular at that time in Korea, and even had a bad reputation, for reasons. Siyeon was the only one, IIRC, who was really excited about it: she was a fan of rock before, she was actually in a rock band in high school, and she hated the Minx bubble-gum concept.
40:45 By Koreans maybe, but not really for Koreans. As hinted above, Koreans did not appreciate rock. In Korea, Dreamcatcher had a very small, though dedicated following. They relied heavily on international promotion to get to where they are now. It was only relatively recently that they got recognition in Korean mainstream. However, they did not need foreign members for international appeal; the quality of their music sufficed (and the wonderful personalities of the members certainly helped). Also, though you couldn't see it on this video, Yoohyeon is very good at English, even if she never lived anywhere else. To explain the Korean attitude towards rock at the time: Korea had rock bands like everywhere else, till a 2005 live TV incident. A band called Rux invited friends on stage, and two members of The Couch joined them... and proceeded to drop trousers, and swing their sausages around... on live TV... in a very conservative country. It resulted in people in jail or fired, the show getting cancelled, and rock almost dying in Korea.
42:57 They are not poor any more, no. In my opinion, if you can afford $1500-3000 friendship rings, you're doing okay. :) But I don't think they're _rich_ rich.
Late to comment
About the genre, the company founder and also CEO spent much of his time in Japan before starting the HappyFace Company. As you know, the earlier track takes a lot from J-rock element, that's why some people hear it similar to an anime opening
He is one of the people behind the "X Japan Tour" in Korea and knows their members personally. Btw, X Japan is one of the most popular J-rock bands in their respective times. Before HappyFace Company, the CEO also owns the very first Japanese Music Store in Korea
So, he takes a lot of influence from Japanese Pop Culture
Not just the musicality, but the way DC dressed is really similar to how Japanese Idol like AKB48 looks (in a more subtle way). You can see all the influence through formation, dance movement, and other creative parts
Siyeon was in a school rock band before Minx, so she was always inclined toward DC style. Their CEO previously specialized in bringing J-Rock groups music to Korea so DC style was something he was well familiar with.
Also, that's not at all how you pronounce Yoohyeon, even after she corrected you multiple times, you still didn't do it right.
19:19 handong was stuck in china for a year. she was in wuhan (the region where the virus was discovered) and ANY person from this region could NOT legally enter korea
I read about a bridge in S Korea which had an unusually high rate of suicides. To combat this, they had messages written on the rail, and one of them was "have you eaten?" The idea is to say that someone still cares about you.

Just a suggestion.. the guide you watched has incorrect and outdated information. I recommend the 2021/2022 Ultimate Dreamcatcher guide (so much more comprehensive and correct, even though it’s older) and the “This Is…” series on each member by Insomnicsy which gives a really accurate insight into each member’s personality. I think a lot of Insomnia (myself included) are probably screaming at our screens every time wrong info comes up 😂 The info about positions is only officially half correct, they don’t really use English names, and some of the well known unique qualities for each member didn’t really get shown at all.
About Minx era.. the members have had complicated feelings about that time period. For a long time as Dreamcatcher, whenever Minx was brought up their reactions ranged from a bit embarrassed to slightly uncomfortable to full on disgusted. It represented a time of a lot of stress and uncertainty (as they were unsure if they had a future in Kpop after Minx disbanded), and they weren’t thrilled with the bright/sexy/cute concept. Sua and Jiu were mostly good sports about it on camera and could take it all in stride but Siyeon and Dami were always visibly PAINED whenever Minx came up. Handong and Gahyeon (the members added to DC) good naturedly teased them about it (and kind of ironically, they are the two members who probably best suit the concept). With that said, after they got their first win, it was like a lot of the pressure/stress about the past was lifted and they performed Love Shake at their Seoul 2022 Halloween concert. It seemed to be closure for them and they could close the door on that time in a really positive and fun way. It was really heartwarming to see them perform Love Shake then.
It’s hard to emphasise just how much hardship they’ve gone through to new fans sometimes because it’s crazy.. a failed and disbanded group, to a group with a unique concept that is often shunned or ignored by the Korean general public, to winning over international fans, to slowly gaining respect within their industry and building a small but very dedicated local fanbase, to missing out on wins, to winning shows, selling more albums with every comeback and to re-signing their contract after 7 years and being one of the few 3rd Gen girl groups still active while never abandoning their concept! They are truly incredible.
U should also react to the this is___ series
Insomnaciy is the go to for all things Dreamcatcher even Dreamcatcher themselves watch her videos
FYI, in Korean, when 's' comes before 'i' it's pronounced "sh".
Guys, this guide is good, but there are other MUCH BETTER ones!! I hope you can see and react here for us.
🤟😀🤟...💯😍🤩🥰 Dreamcatcher...🍀😇...🌛😁🌜
this guide is pretty boring imo :/ there's a lot of greater guides out there, i'd love if y'all reacted to one of the ones ppl are recommending on this comment section!!
they have a reggae b side
tanks for reaction this stan dreamcather
Thank you
You're welcome
Every Dreamcatcher is Beautiful in their own way ,
just like the 7 Colors of the Rainbow 🌈,
When the 7 Dreamcatchers Unite,
they Become Pure White Angelic Light ,
that Bring a Special Beauty 🌹and Love♥ to this World 🌏.
" They are the first and always , Eternal Legendary Dreamcatcher ✨"
Always excited to see more Dreamcatcher ❤
But this guide definitely wasn't the best imo.
To help you with the names a little:
JiU - [ji-yoo], "ji" like the letter "G", and "yoo" like "you".
SuA - [soo-a], "soo" like in "soup", and "a" in Korean is always the same and is a bit like the sound you make when you are at the dentist and say "AAAAAAH", or like the first sound in "aight" [a-eet].
Siyeon - [she-yon]
Handong - [han-dong], same "a" as in SuA (so not "hen"). "dong" with the "o" like in "go".
Yoohyeon - [yoo-hyon], "yoo" as in "you", and "hyon" is 1 syllable like "don", "on", "won".
Dami - [da-mee], "da" with the same "a" as in SuA (so not as in "damn" or "dawn"), "mee" as in "me", "be", "we".
Gahyeon - [ga-hyon], "ga" with same "a" as in SuA, "hyon" same as in Yoohyeon. So, not "gay-on".
And as a bonus:
Maknae - [mag-ne], "mag" with the same "a" as in SuA, "ne" as in "necro" or "netto". And it means the youngest in the group.
korea used to be really poor before so it became a thing to ask if they've eaten :)
Mostly everyone IS okay with the minx era except Dami Who was uncorfortable BC she was sexualized as a minor and Siyeon almost gave Up singing BC she didnt like either the music and the concept
Omgggg missed dreamcatcher video's
