At first glance you could think this is about them being proud and happy with themselves, about confidence. I don't think that is it though. I have no idea if my theory is correct, but the fact that the album is called VersuS VillainS makes me think it is not this simple. So I believe this song is meant as a criticism of narcissism, vanity, materialism and also (maybe) the fast fashion industry. "OOTD" stands for "Outfit of the Day" after all, maybe useless instagram influencers posting videos of their outfit of the day, which also promotes fast fashion. The fact that fashion is moving ever faster is the most destructive industry to the planet apart from the fossil fuel industry. The Aral lake has all but disappeared because of the cotton industry for example. It would fit to the Villain image, and you can see in the MV that they are acting. It is shown in the scene where Yoohyeon and Handong are fighting, but then the camera is off and Handong helps Yoohyeon up. The main reason why I don't think it is about confidence or their own success is the line "Driving on the highway, drunken everyday, do you feel like a monster?" and the album title. That just doesn't fit. And there was the ymenehcra account posting about touching a crown is dangerous and other cryptic messages before the comeback. It could also be a big and well-hidden F*U to the Kpop industry, like the Nightmare arc probably was. The narcissism and materialism is definitely criticized here, and Dreamcatcher have been criticized a lot themselves because of their rock/metal concept, while other groups have been celebrated for using a guitar riff once in a song. The music is highly interesting as well. There still is rock there, but dialed back. The song structure is not what you'd expect at all, for me it is punk rock meets K-Pop. Not their usual spiel, but a very good progression. It takes a couple of listens to really appreciate it.
The theme for this come back is narcissism. They are the villains this era. The lore is really deep even i cant follow it XD I just read through comments in youtube and twitter.
The rock genre of this title song goes so well with punk rock in line with the concept of "Villains." Dreamcatcher's new challenge has further enhanced the sophistication of music.
Jinri don't forget to do challenge...😁 Look thru all the mv clearly in detail...think deep...and you will get the message...of OTTD... Dreamcather don't do lore anymore.. They were delivering message since Dystopia trilogy started... The whole ideal for OTTD hidden message was very SAVAGE... 🤭 They don't really care gained more hatred from netizens 😂 esp those FAMOUS ( )!!!!
i don't know if ootd actually fits the current trend, to me it seems like it has a different more important message like their previous songs. i think the song has dreamcatcher be the villains this time and it's actually criticizing flex culture and consumerism
Thank you for te reaction. I enjoyed it very much. They dropeed another song Dance video for this comeback. It's caled Shatter and is kind of cool. If you like an amazing performance maybe you could react to it.
The song after OOTD is Rising. That's my personal favourite and hard rocking number. OOTD has a Muse vibe to it. I don't know, I prefer the live version of this song compare to the studio version. My opinion only but I think the sound Engineering made their voices sounded weak but you can hear a lot difference in the live version. Don't hate me, fellow Somnias. I love Duekae and I stan them for life. Dreamcatcher is the DREAM. 🤘🥰🤘
I totally agree with your opinion to this song and I thinking the same thing. Bcs they want to gain more popularity in Korea that's why they challenge themselves through this song
You mention Happyface so I figure I'd ask, is Happyface still called Happyface? I heard they changed names to "Dreamcatcher Company"? If that's true, do they still have any other artists under their label?
Dreamcatcher Company is the Main Label now but they have a subsidiary Label named HF Music Company with the latest artist Hwang Sooyeon who debuted four weeks ago, she is also the Performance Director for Dreamcatcher, and the other soloist is Lee Si Eun and Model Lee Si An who appear in Idol School and Produce 48 ranked 30

STAN DREAMCATCHER STAN TALENT!!!😉
The theme for this come back is narcissism. They are the villains this era. The lore is really deep even i cant follow it XD I just read through comments in youtube and twitter.
Someone created a mega thread on Reddit collecting everything for this lore. It’s massive 😂
The rock genre of this title song goes so well with punk rock in line with the concept of "Villains."
Dreamcatcher's new challenge has further enhanced the sophistication of music.
Jinri don't forget to do challenge...😁
Look thru all the mv clearly in detail...think deep...and you will get the message...of OTTD...
Dreamcather don't do lore anymore.. They were delivering message since Dystopia trilogy started...
The whole ideal for OTTD hidden message was very SAVAGE... 🤭 They don't really care gained more hatred from netizens 😂 esp those FAMOUS ( )!!!!
The concept of this song is actually narcissism and basically condemns the extreme case of self-confidence. They are the VillainS.
Jinri just casually dropping she's seen Dreamcatcher irl. :o
FYI, they haven't been Happyface Entertainment for a few years now. They renamed to Dreamcatcher Company... so really it's all about them.
Isn't DCC is sub label? Or is it different?
Great react, good info from comments too. Liked it 😃

I agree with you. OOTD sounds a lot better live
Wow, this song is so rocking, I put it on the playlist straight away.🔥 For me, Dreamcatcher's best song since BOCA.
Great reaction Jinri!💜
I really think that OOTD is going to break them into Korea mainstream pop market
I was thinking the same thing, now can we get them into an end of year award show
I absolutely love this music video as DC being my alt group I always love the growth in these ladies, yes it’s different but still uniquely DC❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
이번 곡은 쇼셜미디어의 이면에 존재하는 안좋은 점을 비판하는 내용으로 2부작중에 첫번째 앨범이라고 합니다 그리고 확실히 팬들사이에서 호불호가 있다고 합니다
You should react to Shatter too. It is a masterpiece
Thank you for your reaction❤🤗
야한동 미쳣네 ㄷㄷ..
Dreamcatcher album reaction please 😊😊😊😊
I did!! Gotta figure out when to upload it haha
I totally agree with your opinion to this song and I thinking the same thing. Bcs they want to gain more popularity in Korea that's why they challenge themselves through this song
Do you see what I'm talking about now or still need convincing? 🙃

i love dreamcatcher,, but not the fanatic fans :D
did you watch taemin gulty ?
his comeback was soo good
You mention Happyface so I figure I'd ask, is Happyface still called Happyface? I heard they changed names to "Dreamcatcher Company"? If that's true, do they still have any other artists under their label?

Yoohyeon could be the only woman i respect the short hair otherwise im hardfan for long hairs but yoohyeon is just different
Odd Eye Siyeon might expand your opinion.
