Watching Minx always makes me appreciate JiU more. This cute concept clearly fits her personality so easily and naturally. Her ability to adapt to Dreamcatcher's concept is amazing.
As well as the girls did w/ this concept, it was the darkest time in their career, unfortunately, especially after they disbanded. Dami tried to run away, Siyeon was depressed and considered giving up singing, and when DC debuted, she wore pants for years and would only wear shorts or dresses if it was a stage outfit the whole group was wearing. Sua said she’d never cut her hair again, and it took her years just to dye it again. After they disbanded, they often cried themselves to sleep. I can’t imagine the amount of pressure Jiu must’ve felt at that time as their leader. That’s why it was so cathartic to see her reaction during their first win. They went through even more as DC, and are still pretty shunned by the K-pop industry, but they’re finally starting to reach big milestones this year like being invited to their first award show and performing at Primavera. They were the only K-pop act invited. They’re 300,000 album sales away from being the 2nd (if I’m not mistaken) million album seller from a small company. The first was GFriend.
@@Why.Just_why I can't pinpoint it, but some Somnias who Minx stans mentioned that years ago in a comment section. The girls are so candid, so I'm sure it must be a deep cut in some old note or interview. Wish I could find it for myself though :/ Not sure if you've already seen it, but recently they performed Love Shake at their Broken Halloween concert, so it looks like they've finally gotten over their depression from that era.
Yoohyeon and Dami were finishing school when WDYCTMH was released (Fall 2014). There is the cutest clip with the members going to her graduation (Google Dreamcatcher Yoohyeon graduation). Love Shake came out later in the Summer of 2015. Minx Dami was the cute maknae. This explains why Dreamcatcher Dami is different (not the maknae anymore). Gahyeon took that role in DC. Fan fact: WDYCTMH was actually a big hit in Korea. However, nobody knew who sang it....
At some point you are also going to get to see the CEO of their company, CEO-nim. He's really like an uncle to the girls, and his wife is the president of the company, so it's really like a family. There were two interesting quotes from him about Minx. In the first one, he said that the failure of Minx wasn't the girls's fault, it was the company's fault. When have you ever heard a CEO say something like that? And in the second, he said if Dreamcatcher would fail as well, he would become a cucumber farmer to support the girls. Dreamcatcher is what the girls really wanted to do. I think you can feel that, and it is only right that this brought success for them. Even the first single already sold double of what Minx sold.
Haha, it's always good to see baby Somnies witness the cuteness shock that is Minx sunbaenim. Also, cute part about this is that Dami was the maknae in Minx which explains a lot
The thing is, Minx wasn't even bad quality-wise. Whenever I see reactions, everyone vibes with the songs although they didn't expect it. Happyface has a good eye for talent and they know it. After their failure, the CEO said that it wasn't the member's fault and that he would buy them a café or work at a farm (don't know which one is true or if both are true, I heard both) to provide for them. So as much as this hasn't worked out and we try to be respectful towards the members, I really trust Happyface. They made some unusual decisions for an entertainment company. Redebuting them was so savage, maybe they were just really desperate. But I 100% respect this choice (even if Dreamcatcher wasn't successful their debut is just so bold). Love Shake is a remake of their sister group Dalshabet 's song. The rash guards (scuba) were actually the CEO's idea and I think they're the most cute and unique outfits to ever exist in kpop. Another confession, Love Shake is definitely in my playlist😳They have at least 10 other songs in their discography that are almost unknown so check that out. You should watch a stage for WDYCTMH too bc Siyeon is hitting that whistle note live every time... Oh btw SuA HATES that hair, it's her personal nemesis. She never cut and dyed her hair ever since (to this extreme, she had red ish and pink ish and blonde ish for Maison). If you want to get some more insights, I'm sure someone already recommended "Dodging disbandment and other extreme sports" by Mera. Also insomnicsy has at least one video highlighting their relationship with their staff, they're all a big family.
@FIGHFANNERD 9 yeah it's great. I'm still hoping for a new rock version from Dreamcatcher. Maybe on their 10th anniversary or something😂let's see how far we make it lol
For a little bit of background on Happyface I highly suggest watching the following video which shows parts of the selection process for MIXNINE. It shows how they care, how hard it was for them to watch the selection process and you get a glimpse how different must be compared to at least one other major company (in this case YG). It focuses on the male trainees so there is almost nothing from Dreamcatcher members in this video but we see the well known practice room. 😉 th-cam.com/video/Bt5ciIFEgrw/w-d-xo.html
@@j.w.u.5728 oh this sounds interesting, thank you. I'm actually so curious how a new group is formed and how everything works behind the scenes. I think the very simple reason why Minx ultimately failed was bc of the small company (and ok, HF didn't promote the perfectly too but still). If you see rookie groups nowadays and compare which company their from, the ones from the big 4 are so much more successful it's ridiculous. I also heard rumors that HF is building or training a new gg so let's just hope they don't repeat their mistakes. But then again they'll probably also need years of hard work to be recognised bc they're from a small company. Or maybe we'll get Dreamcatcher 2.0 with a re-debut after 2 years😂
Lee Juwon said he'd start a _cucumber company_ for them if Dreamcatcher didn't make it... I have no idea where he got the idea for cucumbers from, but let's face it, they're _all_ an odd bunch over there... 😜 Regarding SuA's hair, she _has_ dyed it quite a few times, but for the most part it's always been fairly subtle, like dark reds or purples. She did go almost blonde for Deja Vu, though, so Maison wasn't _quite_ the first time. She does have to be careful, though, because she seems to have particularly fragile hair, so she can't really bleach it too often anyway. The closest she's come to cutting it that short again was when she adopted a Hime cut (short at the front, long at the back) when she did the Tadow performance video, to match Seungyeon's. Seungyeon was so impressed, she suggested SuA should try cutting it as short as the front all over; SuA shot that idea down _immediately_ 😂
@@Brickerbrack yeah the comment is so long already I didn't want to write any more detail. I don't even know if they saw it, but you're right. I just think that it was a cucumber farm is a funny detail. SuA actually looks best in brown and "boring" hair cuts I think but I'm glad we got the pink for Maison, I really liked that. Maybe next cb we get something really crazy haha. Yes the Tadow video she looked great, she had this kpop hair style right? The one with the very extreme layers (aka short in the front very long in the back) EDIT I mean Hime cut, exactly that sorry😂. I've only seen it in kpop so far but this might actually be my favourite. Hm I'm contradicting myself here a lot but maybe she just looks great in everything😄
Minx's fail was mostly because they were at the end of the 'cutesy' era and were pretty much against groups like Red Velvet, Twice, Mamamoo, Girls Generation. Minx didn't stick out from the pack with their songs and MVs. Their songs are good but in comparison to other groups who had a newer appeal, they got overshadowed.
Fun fact: Love Shake remains one of their best known songs in Korea since it's used a lot in Home Shopping Channels. The thing is the song is well known but the group isn't bc it sounds and looks too much like most of the stuff that was coming out at the time. There's also the problem that Happyface Ent is a small company that is genius at content and concept creation but not as good at marketing (and managing). Whatever the reason we can all agree that the switch to Dreamcatcher was amazing and while it was hard for some of them (Jiu + Yoo) it was the best for others (Sy + Dami) I'm happy you're planning to check Dodging Disbandment, usually people stan even harder after watching that
The CEO of Happyface admitted later on that the group failed because the company did not promote or support them properly. There was no album with their debut, the comeback with Love Shake was delayed, and the song itself was a cover of a song originally done by Dalshabet, Happyface's 2ng gen girl group. I think that if Minx had been with one of the big Kpop companies then they would be like Twice is today, but then we wouldn't have Dreamcatcher. Sua's hair. After Minx Sua swore she would never cut her hair again and she hasn't. She hated it.
Dreamcatcher repeated it: Gahyeon turned 18 three weeks after debut. In other calendar shenanigans, Minx debuted September 18, 2014 and on September 18, 2019 Dreamcatcher released Deja Vu.
I'm 100% convinced she's a vampire (also Yoohyeon looks as cheeky as ever, maybe that's why I'm irritated: in Dreamcatcher her stage personality is really serious. But off stage she's a puppy. And in Minx she's just a puppy the whole time)
@@TheGroovyJones I know what you mean but Yoohyeon has this clumsy savage energy. Like SuA will hit you and then ignore it but Yoohyeon will call you pabo and then hide from the consequences😂she's also the only one (well, besides Siyeon) who will burst out in laughter when she needs to be serious. Idk it's hard to explain. It just fits the maknae line energy but the other three (Handong Dami Gahyeon) are more bossy haha :D Yoohyeon just can't get away with being savage (mostly bc SuA will hit her)
@moongirl8807 JiU should be considered a anti-vampire: made of sunshine instead of being destroyed by it. She doesn't drain away the blood and life from victims, but absorbs love and cheers from insomnias, and gives back even more.
My poor Siyeon has a big trauma due to MINX disband, she struggled with depression at that time and used to spend hours playing LOL with Yooh to get distracted. She's really triggered when MINX is mentioned or their songs play
Because their company was even tinier back then and also didn't promote well, that's actually the whole reason. Also tough competition, we had Gfriend debut, Red Velvet and Twice at that time with too similar concepts and rising success.
Minx debuted in a very similar market to today and they just got lost among groups with more unique concepts or from larger companies. They were on par vocally with Red Velvet and Mamamoo, who also debuted in 2014, but their concept was everywhere and tbh there were still 2nd gen artists who were slaying as well as early 3rd gen artists. I actually really love watching Minx content and if you have the time check out some stage mixes for Why Did You Come To My Home? and Love Shake or some Minx busking(singing outdoors) videos.
Minx was part of their concept for Dreamcatcher in that Minx was their dream and that they went into (of course they didn't plan that). Their nightmare was being trapped in those cutie concept Kpop genre and that they were trying to break & escape from it as Dreamcatcher and free themselves from such stereotype eventually. We have to give credit to their company however as rebranding a KPop group rarely happen and I've seen a lot of talented groups disbanded early such as the amazing group Hot Issue recently.
Girl Groups and Boy Groups Rise and Fall, Fandoms begin and End. The 7 Legendary Dreamcatcher are bonded Through Destiny For All Time. InSomnia never Sleep on Dreamcatcher talent..
Kess and Han...Minx didn't "fail", there was just too much heavy hitting competition at the time of their debut. With the cute girl concept genre saturated and dominated by power groups like Girls Day, AOA, APINK, FX, 4 Minute, Red Velvet, Sistar, T-ara, Black Pink, Twice and Girls Generation, the move to revamp Minx into Dream Catcher was ultimately wise. We Insomnias all benefited!
WDYCTMH is a whole ass bop and I will not be convinced otherwise. If you watch their vlives and other behind the scenes stuff Gahyeon and Handong troll the Minx members a lot with Love Shake. They were recently dancing to it in the latest Dreamcatcher Note so I think they’re over it now. JiU definitely is the fan club president for Minx sunbaenim though 😂
이 분들 드림캐쳐 찐 팬들인데 밍스캐쳐 영상에 입틀막을 ㅋㅋㅠ 전 밍스때부터 좋아했던 팬이에요 이 때는 인기가 많이 없었고 그 끝에 해체라는 아픔을 겪었던 시절이라서 보면서 마냥 웃을 수만은 없더라고요 우리 드림캐쳐 많이 많이 사랑해주세요❤ 자동자막 없는 게 알것 같아서 웃프네요 ㅠㅎ
What sends me is the fact that after Gahyeon and Handong were added to the group, they both learned the Love Shake choreo just so they could troll the ex-Minx members with it whenever they wanted 🤣
Shout out to Happy Face ( Dreamcatcher Company) for not dropping the girls and leading them to become the most unique Kpop group out there. #DreamcatcherSupremacy
As a new somnia its definitely a ‘culture shock’ from Minx to Dreamcatcher as we know them now lol I’m glad you checked them out! That aside, you can see the talent and potential was there, but the industry was too congested with this concept. Let me tell you, the VOCALS were always there from the start - if you check out some of their covers, my fave being Minx covering “End of Time” - Beyoncé - its so good!
If you watch a video on YT about how difficult it was for DC and especially Minx you would get to know why the group failed at the time. Apologies, but I cannot remember the details for the video. Basically the group's coming out at the same time were stronger and the competition was so fierce that Minx didn't stand a chance. They did reasonably okay, but not enough. One thing is they had the talent from the start.
There is nothing to dive deep into actually. Minx songs were too "generic" and followed mainstream kpop at that time + group was from small company so they simply can't compete against bigger groups. Love Shake was not even their own song.
@@bigparadox9093 well yeah that's the reason for Minx but the video explains it really well and is also not completely about Minx. It just gives a good understanding of why its so great to see Dreamcatcher getting more popular. Because it wasn't given from the start.
@@moongirl8807 you don't need a video to understand that it's heavy for a group with unusual sound and from small company to stay alive in kpop industry. It's pretty obvious
Love shake is a song I have to be in the mood for to listen to it, but why did you come to my home is a whole bop and honestly I’m not keen on rewatching the two mvs due to the amount of shots focused on their legs and their butts. It actually made me feel a bit uncomfortable due to I think Dami still being underage at the time
Yes!!! Your reaction to MINX is so great! I love seeing people who get into Dreamcatcher when they realize this is how they started. You're right, they are so talented that they can flip their concept on a dime and absolutely kill it. Also, shout out to Happyface/Dreamcatcher Entertainment for not doing what most agencies would have and force them to go more adult and scandalous just for the views and quick cash grab. They really believed in their talent and the darker rock sound was the cold water splash in the face that fans needed to wake up and realize what they had been sleeping on.
Minx are from one of the Multiverse of Madness. You know they were depressed everytime Minx is mentioned, i think the only way they can overcome it is to record a metal version of this song. I would do anything to listen to Siyeon's full blown nuclear assault vocals on that.
It's not that the songs are bad, but I think that the market for this was oversaturated at the and they had some bad luck on timing. I still think of Dreamcatcher as a 'new' group but it's wild to think that they are really of the same vintage as (or actually slightly older than) Lovelyz (recently disbanded), Oh My Girl (just lost a member at contract renewal time), GFRIEND (recently and suddenly disbanded), April (recently disbanded) TWICE, Red Velvet, etc. Not to mention the juggernaut that was (and still is) BTS. Dreamcatcher's CEO said "it wasn't the girls who failed. We failed them." They believed in the girls and decided that instead of disbanding or just putting along in an overcrowded market, that they would try a radical approach. It is surprising how many groups fail or stay well well well below the radar. I think Minx could have continued, but I don't know if they would have broken out and we likely would have lost them to disbandment. Even some of the great groups from that era met surprising and sudden ends (RIP my beloved GFRIEND).
A Dreamcatcher can become a kpop idol , but , A kpop idol can not become a Dreamcatcher . when it's Fate, there are no coincidences. They are Dreamcatcher . Remember Their : Flame 🔥, Magic ✨ , Power ⚡ and Beauty 🌹
Minx has really good voices. I mean Siyeon with those effortless whistle tone like what? That's so cool kfjhaskjf. Why it failed is... there is a REALLY good reason. Please search for Dreamcatcher dodging disbandment because it gives a pretty good history about what happened back then.
Sua totally hates her hair in minx 🤣 She has mentioned multiple times that she wil never do short hair anymore hahahaha Also, Minx's songs are BOP! But even I never run into their songs when I was active back then. That's probably because there were SO many major releases back then especially debuts by red velvet, gfried, twice, etc. Like I kinda knew they existed but never really heard their songs. Also variety shows were a big thing back then too but they never really get invited. A little bit regretful but thankfully I managed to discover Dreamcatcher when they debuted so I'm glad. Dodging Disbandment by Mera is not updated for 2020 onwards but it definitely gives you an insight to their early days and the tea that happened, so enjoy!
This is Siyeon and Dami's worst nightmare basically, my poor girls were suffering, I am so glad they are much happier and in a better place with Dreamcatcher. They get war flashbacks whenever MINX is brought up because of how traumatic it was for them.
I love dreamcatcher and gahyeon is my ultimate bias so I’m very happy for her to be in the group, but I love these minx songs so much. So catchy and fun and cute
Even if you don't include their MINX era, Dreamcatcher is mostly considered to be a Third Generation idol group (with groups like TWICE, Mamamoo, GFriend, Blackpink). Around that time, a whole of lot of girl groups either debuted or dropped "bigger" songs than the two. It was difficult for them to really stand out and get attention. But in a way, their fall as MINX was a blessing in disguise because it result in Dreamcatcher being born. This video does a great job in covering the group's history especially the MINX days. "Dodging Disbandment and Other Extreme Sports: A History of Dreamcatcher" by mera th-cam.com/video/YIgCAp3i1os/w-d-xo.html It stops at the 2020 mark so it's not up to date but I think it's still a good video that manages to get the group's time up until then across very well. There have been moments where the original five members cringe whenever anything MINX-related is brought up. Handong and Gahyeon do enjoy it as there's a video of both dancing to Love Shake. Buuuutttt, it seems nowadays the five are more "accepting" of their dark past as there's a recent vlog of them singing "Love Shake" for fun cause Dami started playing it on her phone. Technically, Dreamcatcher did sorta went back to the summer cute aesthetic last year when they did the photoshoot for their mini-album, "Summer Holiday"; the album BEcause is on. In a behind the scenes video, Dami commented that she hasn't smiled in a photoshoot in a long time which is probably a reference to her MINX days
watching minx mvs is really sad because the members actually have trauma from this era especially Siyeon she said she couldn't even watch other girl groups performing after their m*nx disbandment ): dami and yoohyeon were minors they were both 17 so the music video indeed feels wrong especially that their concept was more like "oversexualizing the girls in a cute way''. when they were asked if they wanna do cute concept songs again they all said no, nonetheless these are bops its like they can do everything! I'm glad the girls are more themselves now
Minx debuted at the same time as Mamamoo, Red Velvet, and LaBoum. They ALL had similar concepts and unfortunately these groups got very popular and Minx kind of faded after their 1st month. When they returned in 2015 with Love Shake (a year later so any momentum they could have add was gone) they had to compete against the debuts of Twice, GFRIEND, Oh My Girl, APRIL, and CLC and all of these groups had a similar style to Minx. Unfortunately for Minx, they literally got lost in the crowd. BUT...fortunately for us, they company gave the young ladies their full support and decided to re-debut with a different concept and intro 2 new members and under different name: Dreamcatcher. This was a hard time for Jiu, Sua, Siyeon, Yoohyeon, and Dami. They were despondent at having failed and were scared that Dreamcatcher might fail as well. SUPER GLAD they did not. Also to answer your question about age 2014...both Jiu and Sua would have been 20, Siyeon would have been 19, Both Yoohyeon and Dami were 17. Now, here is a vid where they are taking part in a Random Play Dance game and the producers play Love Shake and you get to see how the 5 original girls are embarrassed while Handong and Gayeon dance to it and have fun. Funny Vid - th-cam.com/video/JJwv9OPamQs/w-d-xo.html If the link doesn't work just search in YT: Dreamcatcher Handong & Gahyeon Dance Cover Minx - Love Shake This is the link to the whole vid of them doing the Random Play Dance by TongTongCulture - th-cam.com/video/saN08kPm9Qs/w-d-xo.html ...and here is a vid during the Maison era where all the members are dancing to Minx - th-cam.com/video/kRm8UMRcjuY/w-d-xo.html lastly this is a good vid put out by Insomnicsy named Dreamcatcher x Minx, basically Dreamcatcher talking about Minx - th-cam.com/video/sPWCWjKmx3A/w-d-xo.html
If you wanna see a bit more of their time as Minx I recommend checking out some of their life stages, they were as good then as they are now! They also have a fun little christmas song with their sister group dal*shabet, its easy to find if you crave some more Minx! Keep up the awesome reactions ❤

Switching from Minx to Dreamcatcher is the best decision ever made. Also it failed cause they were up against other groups like Red Velvet, Twice, GFriend. Dami was a minor at the time. Gahyeon and especially Dongie wii take every opportunity to mess with the other members about Love Shake
yoohyeon and dami were minors at the time and dreamcatcher always gets uncomfortable whenever minx is brought up because of their sexualization :(( but the songs were so good
Dreamcatcher debuted at the beginning of January in 2017, so they are a gen 3 group. Yoohyeon and Dami were still minors during Minx era, so the fact that they were made to wear such revealing clothing and dance the way they danced in the MVs is... yucky, to say the least. WDYCTMH is a bop and a half, but I thank GOD they're Dreamcatcher now. 😭
i highly recommend you guys watch dreamcatcher solo songs(special clips) that they wrote the lyrics and help to compose it too and it shows how talented each members are. the solo songs(by age): Jiu - cherry Sua - no dot Siyeon - entrancing Handong - winter Yoohyeon - for Dami - beauty full Gahyeon - playground
I know Dreamcatcher's member debuted in this cute group before but it was before i know their name, so the ones who are missing are Gayeon and Handong. But i barely recognized the members except Dami, she looks so young and i love her cute smile and eyes that he won't have now! But i didn't recognize Siyeon at all, barely recognized Jiu, then Sua with more close-up i see her short blond hair and i didn't recognize Yoohyeon except in the 2nd mv at the end
i recommend watching " Dodging Disbandment and Other Extreme Sports: A History of Dreamcatcher" this video explains the misfortune and how dreamcatcher changed kpop in their favor,, dreamcatcher went thru a lot but with time and a growing fandom they made a name for themselves, that video might answer some questions about dreamcatcher.
A tip for subtitles, if there are provided subs in any language, you can choose that language and also select auto-translate. In this case you could have chosen Chinese or German, then also went into auto-translate and select English. It's fairly accurate that way, as the AI doesn't need to correctly pick out words from the audio, it just needs to translate from the provided text in any language.
Minx for the members were a very dark history, most of the members were in depression and it’s a sensitive topic when minx is being brought up nowadays. Personally Minx was a part of their journey to who they are right now and i wish that they will eventually come to terms with it and doesn’t see it as trauma.
In terms of a total head spin, just imagine what fans of the original MINX went through when the girl re-debuted as Dreamcatcher. They suddenly went from cute, sunshine-y sweet girls to dark, horror and rock?!! 🤯🤯😆😆 Also.... if you're interested in learning more about Dreamcatcher's journey, I strongly recommend checking out watching *_"Dodging Disbandment and Other Extreme Sports: A History of Dreamcatcher"_* by mera. It's really informative and helped me fully appreciate the trials and tribulations the girls have been through to get to where they are today. Edit: Welp.... guess I should've watched right to the end. And yes, please do watch _"Dodging Disbandment"_ . Totally worth it!
Minx's b-sides also slap. "I just like you" is one of their best ballads surpassing some of DC ballads imo. Strongly recommend reacting/listening to them considering there are only like 3-4 of them.
Superstar Superman and Shut Up are such car bops! And Action (never released but there's a performance video on youtube) is also a lot of fun! And has elements of dc in it, so that's cool, too
Love Shake was originally Dal Shabet's song (Minx/DC's senior girl group in Happyface) so it doesn't fit perfectly with what they were going for in WDYCTMH. But I still love it, also Dal Shabet were great too
You two should check out a video called. Dodging Disbandment And Other Extreme Spots: The History of Dreamcatcher. It was done by a TH-camr called mera.
Happyface made a video about Yoohyeon graduating High School, which means the group debuted as Minx before Yoohyeon and Dami were 'of age' (I still think Dami might be just a little bit jealous of Gahyeon for taking the maknae spot...maybe it's only me...?). lol Some of those camera shots were actually inappropriate for Dami's and maybe Yoohyeon's ages from my standpoint. I am still a little bit shocked that Happyface got away with that. Keeping in mind that Shake It came out almost a year after WDYCTMH makes it SLIGHTLY easier to take. Still, both songs outside of the MVs are really fun! Since then, the group members seem to agree that the company has been only the most supportive company around and lets the ladies do practically whatever they want. They don't get pushed into anything they don't want to do. I can't wait for your reactions to Dodging Disbandment... Mera is REALLY cool, she has a lot of GREAT stuff on her channel but I bet that one is her most-viewed to this day... :)
This is so guilty pleasure type fun! Most reactors only say politically correct stuff about how wrong it is to sexualize minors, and don't really react to the song...
Debuted 2014, we're near to 2023 and JiU hasn't aged ANY YEAR. And gurls, OT7 Actually did their Shake Love during Halloween event 💀💀 No Gahyeon and Dongie are done with their Dream to be in Minx lol
It's so weird to see people react to minx after only seeing them as dreamcatcher. I liked minx when they first came out, so seeing them as dreamcatcher was so different for me lol. Same shock just in opposite directions

Watching Minx always makes me appreciate JiU more. This cute concept clearly fits her personality so easily and naturally. Her ability to adapt to Dreamcatcher's concept is amazing.
Ikr
ooh. yes, your right 😲
Jiu is still living in the Minx era lmao
As well as the girls did w/ this concept, it was the darkest time in their career, unfortunately, especially after they disbanded. Dami tried to run away, Siyeon was depressed and considered giving up singing, and when DC debuted, she wore pants for years and would only wear shorts or dresses if it was a stage outfit the whole group was wearing. Sua said she’d never cut her hair again, and it took her years just to dye it again.
After they disbanded, they often cried themselves to sleep. I can’t imagine the amount of pressure Jiu must’ve felt at that time as their leader. That’s why it was so cathartic to see her reaction during their first win. They went through even more as DC, and are still pretty shunned by the K-pop industry, but they’re finally starting to reach big milestones this year like being invited to their first award show and performing at Primavera. They were the only K-pop act invited. They’re 300,000 album sales away from being the 2nd (if I’m not mistaken) million album seller from a small company. The first was GFriend.
Wait Dami tried to run away? Where did she say that? Im not doubting you but I'm curious
@@Why.Just_why I can't pinpoint it, but some Somnias who Minx stans mentioned that years ago in a comment section. The girls are so candid, so I'm sure it must be a deep cut in some old note or interview. Wish I could find it for myself though :/ Not sure if you've already seen it, but recently they performed Love Shake at their Broken Halloween concert, so it looks like they've finally gotten over their depression from that era.
Siyeon, Dami and Yoohyeon are the only ones who still cringe at the mention of Minx or any of those songs.
@@santoshsharma483Pretty sure SuA and Jiu still as well, they're just hiding it deep inside
I have a daughter their age ('97) and this is heartbreaking to me.
Yoohyeon and Dami were finishing school when WDYCTMH was released (Fall 2014). There is the cutest clip with the members going to her graduation (Google Dreamcatcher Yoohyeon graduation). Love Shake came out later in the
Summer of 2015.
Minx Dami was the cute maknae. This explains why Dreamcatcher Dami is different (not the maknae anymore). Gahyeon took that role in DC.
Fan fact: WDYCTMH was actually a big hit in Korea. However, nobody knew who sang it....

At some point you are also going to get to see the CEO of their company, CEO-nim. He's really like an uncle to the girls, and his wife is the president of the company, so it's really like a family. There were two interesting quotes from him about Minx. In the first one, he said that the failure of Minx wasn't the girls's fault, it was the company's fault. When have you ever heard a CEO say something like that? And in the second, he said if Dreamcatcher would fail as well, he would become a cucumber farmer to support the girls.
Dreamcatcher is what the girls really wanted to do. I think you can feel that, and it is only right that this brought success for them. Even the first single already sold double of what Minx sold.
It was a cucumber company. 😉
Unless he also suggested potatoes at some point, but cucumbers is definitely the well-known one.
@@Brickerbrack You are absolutely right, edited.
Haha, it's always good to see baby Somnies witness the cuteness shock that is Minx sunbaenim. Also, cute part about this is that Dami was the maknae in Minx which explains a lot
The thing is, Minx wasn't even bad quality-wise. Whenever I see reactions, everyone vibes with the songs although they didn't expect it. Happyface has a good eye for talent and they know it. After their failure, the CEO said that it wasn't the member's fault and that he would buy them a café or work at a farm (don't know which one is true or if both are true, I heard both) to provide for them.
So as much as this hasn't worked out and we try to be respectful towards the members, I really trust Happyface. They made some unusual decisions for an entertainment company. Redebuting them was so savage, maybe they were just really desperate. But I 100% respect this choice (even if Dreamcatcher wasn't successful their debut is just so bold).
Love Shake is a remake of their sister group Dalshabet 's song. The rash guards (scuba) were actually the CEO's idea and I think they're the most cute and unique outfits to ever exist in kpop. Another confession, Love Shake is definitely in my playlist😳They have at least 10 other songs in their discography that are almost unknown so check that out. You should watch a stage for WDYCTMH too bc Siyeon is hitting that whistle note live every time...
Oh btw SuA HATES that hair, it's her personal nemesis. She never cut and dyed her hair ever since (to this extreme, she had red ish and pink ish and blonde ish for Maison).
If you want to get some more insights, I'm sure someone already recommended "Dodging disbandment and other extreme sports" by Mera. Also insomnicsy has at least one video highlighting their relationship with their staff, they're all a big family.
@FIGHFANNERD 9 yeah it's great. I'm still hoping for a new rock version from Dreamcatcher. Maybe on their 10th anniversary or something😂let's see how far we make it lol
For a little bit of background on Happyface I highly suggest watching the following video which shows parts of the selection process for MIXNINE.
It shows how they care, how hard it was for them to watch the selection process and you get a glimpse how different must be compared to at least one other major company (in this case YG). It focuses on the male trainees so there is almost nothing from Dreamcatcher members in this video but we see the well known practice room. 😉
th-cam.com/video/Bt5ciIFEgrw/w-d-xo.html
@@j.w.u.5728 oh this sounds interesting, thank you. I'm actually so curious how a new group is formed and how everything works behind the scenes. I think the very simple reason why Minx ultimately failed was bc of the small company (and ok, HF didn't promote the perfectly too but still). If you see rookie groups nowadays and compare which company their from, the ones from the big 4 are so much more successful it's ridiculous.
I also heard rumors that HF is building or training a new gg so let's just hope they don't repeat their mistakes. But then again they'll probably also need years of hard work to be recognised bc they're from a small company. Or maybe we'll get Dreamcatcher 2.0 with a re-debut after 2 years😂
Lee Juwon said he'd start a _cucumber company_ for them if Dreamcatcher didn't make it... I have no idea where he got the idea for cucumbers from, but let's face it, they're _all_ an odd bunch over there... 😜
Regarding SuA's hair, she _has_ dyed it quite a few times, but for the most part it's always been fairly subtle, like dark reds or purples. She did go almost blonde for Deja Vu, though, so Maison wasn't _quite_ the first time. She does have to be careful, though, because she seems to have particularly fragile hair, so she can't really bleach it too often anyway.
The closest she's come to cutting it that short again was when she adopted a Hime cut (short at the front, long at the back) when she did the Tadow performance video, to match Seungyeon's. Seungyeon was so impressed, she suggested SuA should try cutting it as short as the front all over; SuA shot that idea down _immediately_ 😂
@@Brickerbrack yeah the comment is so long already I didn't want to write any more detail. I don't even know if they saw it, but you're right. I just think that it was a cucumber farm is a funny detail.
SuA actually looks best in brown and "boring" hair cuts I think but I'm glad we got the pink for Maison, I really liked that. Maybe next cb we get something really crazy haha. Yes the Tadow video she looked great, she had this kpop hair style right? The one with the very extreme layers (aka short in the front very long in the back) EDIT I mean Hime cut, exactly that sorry😂. I've only seen it in kpop so far but this might actually be my favourite. Hm I'm contradicting myself here a lot but maybe she just looks great in everything😄
Minx's fail was mostly because they were at the end of the 'cutesy' era and were pretty much against groups like Red Velvet, Twice, Mamamoo, Girls Generation. Minx didn't stick out from the pack with their songs and MVs. Their songs are good but in comparison to other groups who had a newer appeal, they got overshadowed.
Yup.. As Mera explained in her "dodging disbandment and other extreme sport" video, it's a red ocean at that time for Minx
Fun fact: Love Shake remains one of their best known songs in Korea since it's used a lot in Home Shopping Channels. The thing is the song is well known but the group isn't bc it sounds and looks too much like most of the stuff that was coming out at the time. There's also the problem that Happyface Ent is a small company that is genius at content and concept creation but not as good at marketing (and managing). Whatever the reason we can all agree that the switch to Dreamcatcher was amazing and while it was hard for some of them (Jiu + Yoo) it was the best for others (Sy + Dami)
I'm happy you're planning to check Dodging Disbandment, usually people stan even harder after watching that
The CEO of Happyface admitted later on that the group failed because the company did not promote or support them properly. There was no album with their debut, the comeback with Love Shake was delayed, and the song itself was a cover of a song originally done by Dalshabet, Happyface's 2ng gen girl group. I think that if Minx had been with one of the big Kpop companies then they would be like Twice is today, but then we wouldn't have Dreamcatcher.
Sua's hair. After Minx Sua swore she would never cut her hair again and she hasn't. She hated it.
(Anyone can correct me if I’m wrong)
When they debuted Jiu and sua were 20
Siyeon was 19
Yoohyeon and Dami were 17 (Dami used to be the maknae)
You are not wrong. That is my cringe for the Love Shake MV. The song is fine.. it’s the MV I cringe and can understand Siyeon and Dami’s discomfort.
Pretty sure you have all of that correct. :)
Siyeon was 18 (and 11.5 months) in international age.
@@TheGroovyJones Oh, that's right. JiU made it a real bonding experience for the group when Siyeon's birthday rolled around...
Dreamcatcher repeated it: Gahyeon turned 18 three weeks after debut. In other calendar shenanigans, Minx debuted September 18, 2014 and on September 18, 2019 Dreamcatcher released Deja Vu.
My favourite thing about this is they all look so different now apart from Jiu who literally hasn't aged a day.
I'm 100% convinced she's a vampire
(also Yoohyeon looks as cheeky as ever, maybe that's why I'm irritated: in Dreamcatcher her stage personality is really serious. But off stage she's a puppy. And in Minx she's just a puppy the whole time)
true
@@moongirl8807 That's all seven of Dreamcatcher though.
@@TheGroovyJones I know what you mean but Yoohyeon has this clumsy savage energy. Like SuA will hit you and then ignore it but Yoohyeon will call you pabo and then hide from the consequences😂she's also the only one (well, besides Siyeon) who will burst out in laughter when she needs to be serious. Idk it's hard to explain. It just fits the maknae line energy but the other three (Handong Dami Gahyeon) are more bossy haha :D Yoohyeon just can't get away with being savage (mostly bc SuA will hit her)
@moongirl8807 JiU should be considered a anti-vampire: made of sunshine instead of being destroyed by it. She doesn't drain away the blood and life from victims, but absorbs love and cheers from insomnias, and gives back even more.
My poor Siyeon has a big trauma due to MINX disband, she struggled with depression at that time and used to spend hours playing LOL with Yooh to get distracted. She's really triggered when MINX is mentioned or their songs play
You guys NEED to see Gahyeon & Handong dancing to minx and the other members just cringing about it XD
I honestly don’t know why they weren’t that popular back then their songs were so good! I was also shocked when I first saw Minx 😲
Because their company was even tinier back then and also didn't promote well, that's actually the whole reason. Also tough competition, we had Gfriend debut, Red Velvet and Twice at that time with too similar concepts and rising success.
History becomes ,
a Legend ,
That becomes ,
a Myth ,
that becomes ,
a story .
They are Dreamcatcher for all Time
Minx debuted in a very similar market to today and they just got lost among groups with more unique concepts or from larger companies. They were on par vocally with Red Velvet and Mamamoo, who also debuted in 2014, but their concept was everywhere and tbh there were still 2nd gen artists who were slaying as well as early 3rd gen artists. I actually really love watching Minx content and if you have the time check out some stage mixes for Why Did You Come To My Home? and Love Shake or some Minx busking(singing outdoors) videos.
Minx was part of their concept for Dreamcatcher in that Minx was their dream and that they went into (of course they didn't plan that). Their nightmare was being trapped in those cutie concept Kpop genre and that they were trying to break & escape from it as Dreamcatcher and free themselves from such stereotype eventually. We have to give credit to their company however as rebranding a KPop group rarely happen and I've seen a lot of talented groups disbanded early such as the amazing group Hot Issue recently.
There's a video "Dreamcatcher Dodging Disbandment". It'll give you a brief timeline of dreamcatcher :)
My Heart still is yearning for the kpop group MINX ,
But by Soul is for Dreamcatcher always

InSomnia never Sleep on Dreamcatcher talent..
Kess and Han...Minx didn't "fail", there was just too much heavy hitting competition at the time of their debut. With the cute girl concept genre saturated and dominated by power groups like Girls Day, AOA, APINK, FX, 4 Minute, Red Velvet, Sistar, T-ara, Black Pink, Twice and Girls Generation, the move to revamp Minx into Dream Catcher was ultimately wise. We Insomnias all benefited!
YES I loved this reaction ! Y'all should react to a stage mix of both of these songs, they kinda slay.
WDYCTMH is a whole ass bop and I will not be convinced otherwise. If you watch their vlives and other behind the scenes stuff Gahyeon and Handong troll the Minx members a lot with Love Shake. They were recently dancing to it in the latest Dreamcatcher Note so I think they’re over it now. JiU definitely is the fan club president for Minx sunbaenim though 😂
I honestly don’t know why they weren’t that popular back then their songs were so good!
이 분들 드림캐쳐 찐 팬들인데
밍스캐쳐 영상에 입틀막을 ㅋㅋㅠ
전 밍스때부터 좋아했던 팬이에요
이 때는 인기가 많이 없었고 그 끝에 해체라는 아픔을 겪었던 시절이라서
보면서 마냥 웃을 수만은 없더라고요
우리 드림캐쳐 많이 많이 사랑해주세요❤
자동자막 없는 게 알것 같아서 웃프네요 ㅠㅎ
2022 Kess and Han: "Why does this concept really fit SuA though?"
2024 Me: So uh.. How are you guys liking SuA's choreography's?
What sends me is the fact that after Gahyeon and Handong were added to the group, they both learned the Love Shake choreo just so they could troll the ex-Minx members with it whenever they wanted 🤣
나도 최근에 입덕했는데, 역시나 이것도 보셨군요. 나도 쇼킹 그 자체....눈물을 흘릴 수 밖에 없는 청순함 그 자체....
Shout out to Happy Face ( Dreamcatcher Company) for not dropping the girls and leading them to become the most unique Kpop group out there.
#DreamcatcherSupremacy
As a new somnia its definitely a ‘culture shock’ from Minx to Dreamcatcher as we know them now lol I’m glad you checked them out!
That aside, you can see the talent and potential was there, but the industry was too congested with this concept. Let me tell you, the VOCALS were always there from the start - if you check out some of their covers, my fave being Minx covering “End of Time” - Beyoncé - its so good!
If you watch a video on YT about how difficult it was for DC and especially Minx you would get to know why the group failed at the time. Apologies, but I cannot remember the details for the video. Basically the group's coming out at the same time were stronger and the competition was so fierce that Minx didn't stand a chance. They did reasonably okay, but not enough. One thing is they had the talent from the start.

@@rocinante6530 th-cam.com/video/YIgCAp3i1os/w-d-xo.html
There is nothing to dive deep into actually. Minx songs were too "generic" and followed mainstream kpop at that time + group was from small company so they simply can't compete against bigger groups. Love Shake was not even their own song.
@@bigparadox9093 well yeah that's the reason for Minx but the video explains it really well and is also not completely about Minx. It just gives a good understanding of why its so great to see Dreamcatcher getting more popular. Because it wasn't given from the start.
@@moongirl8807 you don't need a video to understand that it's heavy for a group with unusual sound and from small company to stay alive in kpop industry. It's pretty obvious
Thanks you guys for standing Minx, er.. I mean DC :)
Love shake is a song I have to be in the mood for to listen to it, but why did you come to my home is a whole bop and honestly I’m not keen on rewatching the two mvs due to the amount of shots focused on their legs and their butts. It actually made me feel a bit uncomfortable due to I think Dami still being underage at the time
And Yoohyeon, but in Love Shake they were both Barely Legal by a few months so it's 100% better and okay.
@@TheGroovyJones what? No I still don't wanna look at their butts wtf
Yes!!! Your reaction to MINX is so great! I love seeing people who get into Dreamcatcher when they realize this is how they started. You're right, they are so talented that they can flip their concept on a dime and absolutely kill it. Also, shout out to Happyface/Dreamcatcher Entertainment for not doing what most agencies would have and force them to go more adult and scandalous just for the views and quick cash grab. They really believed in their talent and the darker rock sound was the cold water splash in the face that fans needed to wake up and realize what they had been sleeping on.
Jiu is Minx fanclub president causes she has always kept a poster of Minx on her wall though.
Dodging Disbandment and Other Extreme Sports: A History of Dreamcatcher th-cam.com/video/YIgCAp3i1os/w-d-xo.html 🙏
Ironically these were the "dark" histories of DC. Glad they made the switch.
Minx are from one of the Multiverse of Madness. You know they were depressed everytime Minx is mentioned, i think the only way they can overcome it is to record a metal version of this song. I would do anything to listen to Siyeon's full blown nuclear assault vocals on that.
It's not that the songs are bad, but I think that the market for this was oversaturated at the and they had some bad luck on timing. I still think of Dreamcatcher as a 'new' group but it's wild to think that they are really of the same vintage as (or actually slightly older than) Lovelyz (recently disbanded), Oh My Girl (just lost a member at contract renewal time), GFRIEND (recently and suddenly disbanded), April (recently disbanded) TWICE, Red Velvet, etc. Not to mention the juggernaut that was (and still is) BTS. Dreamcatcher's CEO said "it wasn't the girls who failed. We failed them." They believed in the girls and decided that instead of disbanding or just putting along in an overcrowded market, that they would try a radical approach. It is surprising how many groups fail or stay well well well below the radar. I think Minx could have continued, but I don't know if they would have broken out and we likely would have lost them to disbandment. Even some of the great groups from that era met surprising and sudden ends (RIP my beloved GFRIEND).
Been an Insomnia for over a year and this video is the only time I've ever watched the entirety of both MVs Lol
A Dreamcatcher can become a kpop idol ,
but ,
A kpop idol can not become a Dreamcatcher .
when it's Fate,
there are no coincidences.
They are Dreamcatcher .
Remember Their : Flame 🔥, Magic ✨ , Power ⚡ and Beauty 🌹
They do so well in both concepts, but I always asked in which Era they were the happiest.
watching Love Shake just make me smile all day long😍
They brought this back for their Halloween shows!
If i remember correctly, dami was so happy to pass the maknae mantle over to gahyeon :)
Minx has really good voices. I mean Siyeon with those effortless whistle tone like what? That's so cool kfjhaskjf. Why it failed is... there is a REALLY good reason. Please search for Dreamcatcher dodging disbandment because it gives a pretty good history about what happened back then.
Oh no! You found out about Dreamcatcher's "Dark Past", LOL
Time will Pass ,
But they will Remain ,
They will Keep Rising ,
their Greatness will be known all around the World
Sua totally hates her hair in minx 🤣 She has mentioned multiple times that she wil never do short hair anymore hahahaha
Also, Minx's songs are BOP! But even I never run into their songs when I was active back then. That's probably because there were SO many major releases back then especially debuts by red velvet, gfried, twice, etc. Like I kinda knew they existed but never really heard their songs. Also variety shows were a big thing back then too but they never really get invited. A little bit regretful but thankfully I managed to discover Dreamcatcher when they debuted so I'm glad.
Dodging Disbandment by Mera is not updated for 2020 onwards but it definitely gives you an insight to their early days and the tea that happened, so enjoy!
i would die of laughter if in the middle of a dreamcatcher concert they would just do Love shake again it would be so damn good 😂😂😂🤣
They will never do that
@@JC-hg4oc i know but it would be funny lol
@@JC-hg4oc we were both wrong they did love shake at a concert i predicted this 2 months prior omg im speechless
This is Siyeon and Dami's worst nightmare basically, my poor girls were suffering, I am so glad they are much happier and in a better place with Dreamcatcher. They get war flashbacks whenever MINX is brought up because of how traumatic it was for them.
Years ago an Insomnia wrote that they loved Love Shake because it was the closest we get to a Dreamcatcher Bikini Special.
This is the reaction I wanted, 😂
I love dreamcatcher and gahyeon is my ultimate bias so I’m very happy for her to be in the group, but I love these minx songs so much. So catchy and fun and cute
Even if you don't include their MINX era, Dreamcatcher is mostly considered to be a Third Generation idol group (with groups like TWICE, Mamamoo, GFriend, Blackpink).
Around that time, a whole of lot of girl groups either debuted or dropped "bigger" songs than the two. It was difficult for them to really stand out and get attention. But in a way, their fall as MINX was a blessing in disguise because it result in Dreamcatcher being born.
This video does a great job in covering the group's history especially the MINX days. "Dodging Disbandment and Other Extreme Sports: A History of Dreamcatcher" by mera th-cam.com/video/YIgCAp3i1os/w-d-xo.html
It stops at the 2020 mark so it's not up to date but I think it's still a good video that manages to get the group's time up until then across very well.
There have been moments where the original five members cringe whenever anything MINX-related is brought up. Handong and Gahyeon do enjoy it as there's a video of both dancing to Love Shake. Buuuutttt, it seems nowadays the five are more "accepting" of their dark past as there's a recent vlog of them singing "Love Shake" for fun cause Dami started playing it on her phone.
Technically, Dreamcatcher did sorta went back to the summer cute aesthetic last year when they did the photoshoot for their mini-album, "Summer Holiday"; the album BEcause is on. In a behind the scenes video, Dami commented that she hasn't smiled in a photoshoot in a long time which is probably a reference to her MINX days
they'll be 4th gen category if they debut on 2018 instead of 2017
Try to do a Dreamcatcher Marathon ,
it has turned into a Endless Journey of Legendary Music
Oh I’ve been waiting for this one 💀
Haha watching this again.. remind me of my 1st time watch this ..I'm laughing like crazy haha
i do not know when the Legend Began ,
but i Know the Legend has No End .
They are the Legendary Dreamcatcher
watching minx mvs is really sad because the members actually have trauma from this era especially Siyeon she said she couldn't even watch other girl groups performing after their m*nx disbandment ): dami and yoohyeon were minors they were both 17 so the music video indeed feels wrong especially that their concept was more like "oversexualizing the girls in a cute way''. when they were asked if they wanna do cute concept songs again they all said no, nonetheless these are bops its like they can do everything! I'm glad the girls are more themselves now
Late Gen 2 , Early Gen 3 , In and around Girls Generation and MAMAMOO, begin of TWICE !
There's one more video, Dal Shabet/MINX collab, Rockin" Around The Christmas Tree.
And Action! Performed in a shopping area or something, I believe?
Minx debuted at the same time as Mamamoo, Red Velvet, and LaBoum. They ALL had similar concepts and unfortunately these groups got very popular and Minx kind of faded after their 1st month. When they returned in 2015 with Love Shake (a year later so any momentum they could have add was gone) they had to compete against the debuts of Twice, GFRIEND, Oh My Girl, APRIL, and CLC and all of these groups had a similar style to Minx. Unfortunately for Minx, they literally got lost in the crowd. BUT...fortunately for us, they company gave the young ladies their full support and decided to re-debut with a different concept and intro 2 new members and under different name: Dreamcatcher. This was a hard time for Jiu, Sua, Siyeon, Yoohyeon, and Dami. They were despondent at having failed and were scared that Dreamcatcher might fail as well. SUPER GLAD they did not.
Also to answer your question about age 2014...both Jiu and Sua would have been 20, Siyeon would have been 19, Both Yoohyeon and Dami were 17.
Now, here is a vid where they are taking part in a Random Play Dance game and the producers play Love Shake and you get to see how the 5 original girls are embarrassed while Handong and Gayeon dance to it and have fun. Funny Vid - th-cam.com/video/JJwv9OPamQs/w-d-xo.html

lastly this is a good vid put out by Insomnicsy named Dreamcatcher x Minx, basically Dreamcatcher talking about Minx - th-cam.com/video/sPWCWjKmx3A/w-d-xo.html

So you guys prepare to hold this pain next
Switching from Minx to Dreamcatcher is the best decision ever made. Also it failed cause they were up against other groups like Red Velvet, Twice, GFriend. Dami was a minor at the time. Gahyeon and especially Dongie wii take every opportunity to mess with the other members about Love Shake
you need to watch "Dreamcatcher: Dodging disbandment and other extreme sports" by Mera on youtube
yoohyeon and dami were minors at the time and dreamcatcher always gets uncomfortable whenever minx is brought up because of their sexualization :(( but the songs were so good
The best Dreamcatcher's B-Sides for me😂😂
Dreamcatcher debuted at the beginning of January in 2017, so they are a gen 3 group.
Yoohyeon and Dami were still minors during Minx era, so the fact that they were made to wear such revealing clothing and dance the way they danced in the MVs is... yucky, to say the least. WDYCTMH is a bop and a half, but I thank GOD they're Dreamcatcher now. 😭
i highly recommend you guys watch dreamcatcher solo songs(special clips) that they wrote the lyrics and help to compose it too and it shows how talented each members are.
the solo songs(by age):
Jiu - cherry
Sua - no dot
Siyeon - entrancing
Handong - winter
Yoohyeon - for
Dami - beauty full
Gahyeon - playground
Someone said Dreamcatcher dark past is pink 😂💜
Im highly recommended minx : i just like you, that is the best song when they at minx (in my opinion)
Finding Minx after Dreamcatcher is a culture shock
U might want to see the love shake stage ot7 😂
I know Dreamcatcher's member debuted in this cute group before but it was before i know their name, so the ones who are missing are Gayeon and Handong. But i barely recognized the members except Dami, she looks so young and i love her cute smile and eyes that he won't have now! But i didn't recognize Siyeon at all, barely recognized Jiu, then Sua with more close-up i see her short blond hair and i didn't recognize Yoohyeon except in the 2nd mv at the end
i recommend watching " Dodging Disbandment and Other Extreme Sports: A History of Dreamcatcher" this video explains the misfortune and how dreamcatcher changed kpop in their favor,, dreamcatcher went thru a lot but with time and a growing fandom they made a name for themselves, that video might answer some questions about dreamcatcher.
You should try to watch the OT7 live version of Love Shake with Handong and Gahyeon~ ♡♡
honestly sua changed the most loll. but I want short hair sua tbh
‼Seriously ‼You have to watch "Dreamcatcher: Dodging disbandment and other extreme sports" by Mera.
A tip for subtitles, if there are provided subs in any language, you can choose that language and also select auto-translate. In this case you could have chosen Chinese or German, then also went into auto-translate and select English. It's fairly accurate that way, as the AI doesn't need to correctly pick out words from the audio, it just needs to translate from the provided text in any language.
Minx for the members were a very dark history, most of the members were in depression and it’s a sensitive topic when minx is being brought up nowadays. Personally Minx was a part of their journey to who they are right now and i wish that they will eventually come to terms with it and doesn’t see it as trauma.
In terms of a total head spin, just imagine what fans of the original MINX went through when the girl re-debuted as Dreamcatcher. They suddenly went from cute, sunshine-y sweet girls to dark, horror and rock?!! 🤯🤯😆😆
Also.... if you're interested in learning more about Dreamcatcher's journey, I strongly recommend checking out watching *_"Dodging Disbandment and Other Extreme Sports: A History of Dreamcatcher"_* by mera. It's really informative and helped me fully appreciate the trials and tribulations the girls have been through to get to where they are today.
Edit: Welp.... guess I should've watched right to the end. And yes, please do watch _"Dodging Disbandment"_ . Totally worth it!
Minx's b-sides also slap.
"I just like you" is one of their best ballads surpassing some of DC ballads imo. Strongly recommend reacting/listening to them considering there are only like 3-4 of them.
Superstar Superman and Shut Up are such car bops! And Action (never released but there's a performance video on youtube) is also a lot of fun! And has elements of dc in it, so that's cool, too
Absoluetly not lmao, DC ballads are superior. Polaris, Rainy Day, Always and Fireflies are so clear.
Love Shake was originally Dal Shabet's song (Minx/DC's senior girl group in Happyface) so it doesn't fit perfectly with what they were going for in WDYCTMH. But I still love it, also Dal Shabet were great too
You two should check out a video called. Dodging Disbandment And Other Extreme Spots: The History of Dreamcatcher. It was done by a TH-camr called mera.
tbh the whole love Shake mini album was fire
so MINX.. I heard they're Dreamcatcher's role model 😂
Happyface made a video about Yoohyeon graduating High School, which means the group debuted as Minx before Yoohyeon and Dami were 'of age' (I still think Dami might be just a little bit jealous of Gahyeon for taking the maknae spot...maybe it's only me...?). lol
Some of those camera shots were actually inappropriate for Dami's and maybe Yoohyeon's ages from my standpoint. I am still a little bit shocked that Happyface got away with that. Keeping in mind that Shake It came out almost a year after WDYCTMH makes it SLIGHTLY easier to take. Still, both songs outside of the MVs are really fun!
Since then, the group members seem to agree that the company has been only the most supportive company around and lets the ladies do practically whatever they want. They don't get pushed into anything they don't want to do.
I can't wait for your reactions to Dodging Disbandment... Mera is REALLY cool, she has a lot of GREAT stuff on her channel but I bet that one is her most-viewed to this day... :)
This is so guilty pleasure type fun!
Most reactors only say politically correct stuff about how wrong it is to sexualize minors, and don't really react to the song...
😂 finally you guys did minx
Debuted 2014, we're near to 2023 and JiU hasn't aged ANY YEAR.
And gurls, OT7 Actually did their Shake Love during Halloween event 💀💀 No Gahyeon and Dongie are done with their Dream to be in Minx lol
It's so weird to see people react to minx after only seeing them as dreamcatcher. I liked minx when they first came out, so seeing them as dreamcatcher was so different for me lol. Same shock just in opposite directions
