SUA IS A MASTERMIND by incorporating the choreography of different eras modified them and being inspired by a movie for the opening💋🙏 AND DAMI CHOOSE VIOLENCE 🙈🙉🙊🥰
Dreamcatcher really chose violence with this. Sua said she studied action movies and used it as her inspiration. I believe she also directed the lighting and suggested certain camera angles. Love her genius brain. She said she didn’t want sensual sexy for Demian, but strong aggressive sexy lol. Jiu asked her to incorporate headbanging. Sua also told Dami to totally go for it jumping over her and not to worry about putting any weight on her as long as the shot looked good!
The book Demian by German author Hermann Hesse is about Emil Sinclair, who is a young boy raised in a middle class home, amidst what is described as a "Scheinwelt" (a play on words meaning "world of light") as well as "world of illusion", so the entire existence can be summarised as a struggle between two worlds: the show world of illusion and the real world, the world of spiritual truth. Accompanied and prompted by his mysterious classmate and friend "Max Demian", he detaches from and revolts against the superficial ideals of the world of appearances and eventually awakens into a realization of self. It is about the duality of the world, and Dreamcatcher know quite a bit about duality. 😉 I believe that is also why they cover half of their face in the choreo. The choreo was done by SuA, and she did a brilliant job! Musically I really enjoy Demian, it has some elements of ProgRock in it, which is one of my beloved genres of music.
I spam my comment here as well, hope it helps processing the song: The lyrics refers to the German novel Demian by Hermann Hesse (written in 1919) For some reason it is really popular in Korea. (Blood sweat and tears by BTS - and the entire series basically - is also using it as a reference) Quick summary from Wikipedia: The key concepts of the novel are duality and a words play on two worlds "world of light" an "world of illusion". The entire existence of the protagonist (Emil Sinclair, a young boy) can be summarized as a struggle between two worlds: the show world of illusion and the real world. Accompanied and prompted by his mysterious classmate and friend 'Max Demian' he detaches from and revolts against the superficial ideals of the world of appearances and eventually awakens into a realization of self. Max Demian is a childhood friend and a mentor of Sinclair. Demian leads Sinclair to his eventual self-realization, and may be considered Emil's daemon - (aka guiding spirit). Some example references from the Lyric: "I can break through your firmly standing orbit into your universe" two worlds, I want to reach from my fake to your real world. "I can still see the world with half of my heart covered" "hide behind a fake version of me" refers to the internal duality of one true self and what is shown to the world, represented at 7:13 in the choreography. The Dami rap section is pretty much the internal battle - struggle - itself (with some venting of anger 7:00). I want to break (7:05 in choreo) this sophisticated egg and move on, aka get rid of the duality and show my true self. So many nice details, like the break the wall dual reference form Dongie 6:37 , the listen to my voice movement by Sua etc. 7:09 So all in all big congrats to Sua for this choreography, it is really really good.
Demian is a book by Hermann Hesse from 100 years ago (1919). It's really popular in South Korea and it has inspired many artists and groups there. Among them, BTS released their 2016 album Wings, and the title song Blood Sweat & Tears, fully inspired by the book. Notice the butterfly motif in Dreamcatcher's choreo and the BTS album name. It's a butterfly as a soul. DC's Demian lyrics are also inspired by the book, and refer to many concepts of Karl Jung's philosophy (eg the egg as a Gnostic symbol).
Starting the video with "Dreamcatcher face". It's a thing we all get it, half the time from something Dami just did. SuA choreo always has two things: DANGER!, and extreme highlighting each member so they all get their moments.
I think they took a bit of inspiration from their PlayColor performance videos. That Jiu reveal was magical with the lighting and their formation giving her travel forward more momentum. Just... from the getgo it's a fun ride. Took me by a bit of a surprise how well they pulled off a dance to .. *that* song and captured it quite well. I love their style, and their individual styles that come out over the course of the song.

JiU asked SuA to incorporate some headbanging into the choreo.
"This is science now" 😆 we totally get it. dreamcatcher is so amazing.
“I dunno if I wanna cry or vibe…I’ll just do both” me

Also I need to appreciate Handong’s hairography. She really slayed!
