Dreamcatcher really reached another level with their singing in this. Justice is part two of a two-part series, the first one is OOTD, which intentionally sounds very differently. There is also a lot of imagery about death and legendary figures like Valkyries or greek goddesses and legends. Reddit user PaintMeYaBasic has managed to identify these paintings in the MV: Hero by Edward Burne-Jones (from the tale of Hero and Leander), Valkyrie and a Dying Hero by Hans Makart, Hero and Leander by Salvator Rosa and finally "Justice" by Kenyon Cox in the center back. In the tale of Hero and Leander from Greek mythology, Hero is actually a priestess of Aphrodite (Venus in the Roman myths), so that is not the same as the hero who is taken from the battlefield by a Valkyrie in the other painting. But OOTD has the line "I'm Venus, Nephthys, call me a Goddess". It is likely there is a connection. While OOTD was about falling for the temptations of modern life and a satire on narcissism (especially influencers and fast fashion), I believe Justice is telling us to fight those temptations for a better world. It is a call to become a warrior for good in the world and fight the materialism that seems to be the most important thing for so many people in the developed countries. You can see JiU break the bonds that hold her down, and we should do the same. Please note that this is just my interpretation. Art can be interpreted in different ways, and other opinions are just as valid as mine. There are also many references to their older MVs in this. The paintings also have a deeper meaning in Chase me, there is a sword in Deja Vu and Scream, the bite into the apple is a callback to BEcause and the tree to the Dystopia trilogy - and so on. There are many more. The 8th figure in the end could also be JiU from Deja Vu, finally breaking the cycle of violence and leading to justice. Musically, I love the song. The guitars in the pre-chorus and chorus are pure heaven (just like Dongie with her wings). It has the right amount of heaviness for me, and it is an anthem and a call to action. I also love that they shortened the pre-chorus by two bars in the second half, throwing us into the chorus early. Justice is a brilliant, epic release, showing everyone that a group can still produce fantastic music and MVs after seven and a half years. I can't help it, I deeply respect these ladies and their whole team.
Dreamcatcher never fails to impress. Once again, this comeback is absolutely stunning. Their unique concept and musical style continue to stand out in the K-pop industry. This 10th mini-album, "VirtuouS," is a true gem. Five amazing tracks, including an introduction that’s 234 seconds long...!!! How to describe perfection? I just love it.
Thank you to react Dreamcatcher!! I recommend you their nightmare series ( their beginning) 1. Chase me 2. Good night 3. Fly high ( prequel) 4. You and I 5. What 6. Piri + breaking out ( alternate ending in Japanese)
dreamcatcher \:D/ you can interpret what kind of justice they are referring to any which way but in the context of the series and imagery, it seems to be about injustices that arise from modern day culture of greed and excess as people try to claw their way up without regard to others along the way. there are many, but the crown and its destruction is one example of imagery. dreamcatcher is definitely not pure rock/metal as western listeners are accustomed to. they always blend elements of a lot of genres but keep it interesting because they almost never reuse the same sounds used in past releases with newer ones.
I'm a korean metalhead Dreamcatcher is the only K-pop group that mixes rock and metal with their music They're a pretty famous team among Korean rock/metal fans
It's about being the hero. The previous title track OOTD was from the connecting mini album and was about the villain. The Songwriters are brilliant. The only other song similar in K-Pop to Dreamcatcher was Fantasy by PinkFantasy. Sadly the band disbanded on 05/07/2024. There is also the Korean Girl Rock Band Rolling Quartz. They have covered an early song by Dreamcatcher.
Further information. Almost 80% of Dreamcatcher songs are produced by 2 composer. 1 of them already switch company & the other 1 (Ollounder) is becoming the main producer/lyricist & backsound guitar of almost all their songs --> so basically he is 1 of the composer of this song & album
The Sacrifices of MINX , Becomes the Oath of the Eternal Legendary Dreamcatcher , Never To give up on the Dream . the story of the Dreamcatcher. 7 beings were Born into this World, they would find each other through Destiny, and be bonded to each other Through Destiny for All Time. When 5 of them found each other they became Minx (18.09.2014), but Destiny had other plans for them and forces would separate them. But their Bond Through Destiny was so Strong that they would find each other throughout all Time , they Returned and Destiny brought the final 2 beings to the group. They became Guardians of Dreams, They became Dreamcatcher . Gifted , Blessed and Bonded Through Destiny for all Time. To be a Dreamcatcher you have to be chosen by Fate , and Blessed by Destiny with : Magic , Power , Fire and Timeless Beauty . those who Discover Dreamcatcher, Become InSomnia and never Sleep on Dreamcatcher talent.
Already see your reaction, its very nice both of you like the song. Hope you listen the "it's live" version of their performance, they dont use the effect there & all members really shows how good their talent in live singing
Dreamcatcher's JUSTICE have more universal theme. Fight for your justice & right, doesn't matter who & where you are. It's not necessarily only about women empowerment because their tracks tend to be more gender neutral.
Kpop isn't technically a genre. It's more of a category of music. "Kpop" encompasses a segment of Korean music, specifically pop (as you might have guessed), and the industry that surrounds it. There's also k-hip hop, k-rock and etc. As you've likely noticed, there are numerous genres within kpop. As you explore kpop you'll encounter just about every genre out there. Even Dreamcatcher, as versatile as they are, has a wide variety of genres in their b-sides, everything from rock (obviously) to funk to EDM to dance and even a little reggae for good measure. If you want to hear Dreamcatcher lean even harder into rock / metal you should check out their Japanese releases. Rock and metal are a lot more popular in Japan than they are in S. Korea so their Japanese releases tend to be a lot heavier, less poppy than their Korean releases. I'd suggest Endless Night and Breaking Out if you're interested in a heavier version of Dreamcatcher.

This is the sequel to OOTD. In OOTD they are narcissistic villains, and in this parallel world they are heroes.
Awesome 🤩
