Thank you so much for reacting to my guide and for your kind words!!! I love watching guide reactions, so watching you reacting to my guide made my day 😊
If you want to get to know more of their personalities , I highly recommend insomnicsy's 'This Is..." series of videos! They have a 2020 and 2021 versions; for individual members, I recommend the "This Is..." 2021 version and 2020 version of the group as a whole! They're each about 7 minutes long.
@@brianlittrell797 Yes. I believe it was known in the fandom for longer, but here she states it in her FAQ: th-cam.com/users/postUgxZVTCJEXALW6pBsPd4AaABCQ
The guide doesn't mention it but Jiu's songs all have very sweet and wholesome meanings behind them. Dear is a love letter to fans. The lyrics talk about meeting fans at fansigns and says "I used to wonder if it was okay to say I love you but now those words seem too small" Like that as rookies, she wondered if it was okay to already tell fans she loves them and it felt awkward but now her love is too big for those words to express everything. 4 memory came out right after their 4th anniversary and is about the memories she made with the members in the different seasons with them and saying how she'll always remember it all. Alldaylong was inspired by a hug she recieved from Yoohyeon. They were both having a tough day so one of them said "Let us that are having a hard time, hug each other" So it has lyrics that say "I think your hug could comfort my world" She really is so sweet 🥺
This reminds me of Twice's "You Make Me Feel Special" song, which I believe is a song the Twice members wrote to express how they feel about each other and their gratitude for each other. With people like Jiu and Yoohyeon you can see, hear and feel the sweetness and love within seconds of observing them. Some idols just radiate that type of goodness and purity. The friendships of the members of some of these K pop groups is the best part of their job. The job might last for 7 to 15 years. But love and friendships can last forever. Not just for a single lifetime.
@@gahyeonsimp5396 I misworded what I wrote. Based on what I heard Chaeyoung say about the song in an interview, Twice at the very least contributed to the song by telling the writers what they wanted the song to express. Whether they came up with the actual words in the song I'm not sure, but it makes sense that they probably came up with some of the words given that they said the song is about them.
Insomnicsy's channel might be the best Dreamcatcher channel on youtube. The "This Is" series of videos are the most famous ones but there are plenty of other great videos on their channel to react to.
You’ve entered a rabbit hole from which there is (thankfully) no escape…..enjoy your journey to getting to know these 7 talented, beautiful, charming, chaotic crackheads!
Highly recommend the "this is..." series by Insomnicsy. It has, what i would call, a 2020 "first time introduction" version and a 2021 "this is also them" version. These help give a very good insight to the members individually off stage. In fact, I'd highly recommend alot of Insomnicsy's videos since they are a very dedicated dreamcatcher content channel. Alot of their videos consists of Vlive footage, music show greenrooms, vlogs and the like. Great content to watch to see the members individually and as a group. Im glad you're enjoying them so far.
Me: Let's go to bed Also me: Oh, she uploaded a reaction to the guide, nice. I've seen it already though....aaaah well I guess I can go to bed after this. Btw, the video "Dodging Disbandment and Other Extreme Sports: A History of Dreamcatcher" is still very worth to watch if you want to know a bit about how they overcame some hurdles in their early years.
i recommented "dreamcatcher mind" that is dreamcatcher first variety show, its on dreamcatcher official channel, also on it is "between dreamcatcher and I" for knowing better their feeling and most vulnerable selves or literally anything from insomniacsy !! especial their "always seven" video, that is an special for dreamcatcher 5th anniversary
Insomncsy is the best youtube channel with Dreamcatcher content. I recommend watching in addition to the series "This is...", watching Always Seven (5th Dreamcatcher Anniversary). And on the official Dreamcatcher channel, I recommend watching the 10 episodes of their reality show, Dreamcatcher Mind. I also really like Mera's video on the History of Dreamcatcher. It tells the problems they went through and that justifies the strength of their friendship.
I'm so happy you reacted to this guide! It's so well made and, as far as I've seen, it's the only one that talks about Handong's absence and shows what she was doing during that time. I highly recommend reacting to "BEcause" since it's their latest comeback and also some special clips from the Dystopia era like "Red Sun", "Black or White", "Sahara", "Break The Wall", "Wind Blows", and "Poison Love." ^_^
@@laurenclaire you should definitly react to those mvs mentioned above. You have mvs like sahara, break the wall and poison love that are unique cause is the girls just havin fun and i recomend you to watch always 7 that is a 5 years anniversary video made by insomnicsy
As a combination of their crackhead personalities and their music, I'd recommend their self-made MVs, especially Sahara, Break the Wall and Poison Love. You'll see what I mean!
Oh god their self-made videos are some of the best :D Poison Love was the perfect "Welcome Back" for dongie and I don't blame everyone else for falling head over heels for her.
Ahh so glad you got to react to this!!! They really are one of the all-around most talented, friendly, and *chaotic* groups out there. They really do love each other like a family, and the group dynamic wouldn't work if just one of them was missing. Even when Handong was in China for Youth With You, they talked all the time about how much they missed her and wanted to send their support. Seeing their off-stage personalities after their badass stage presence definitely is surprising! Especially for Dami. She's so intimidating on stage but in reality she's just a tiny dork XD I love how distinct all their personalities are and how they shine equally on stage, because a lot of times in larger groups it's hard not to have members that stand out more and members that fade to the back. They really are a group of seven complete all-arounders. They can all rap, all sing, all dance, they're all *visuals* (like my god I swear they're the most gorgeous group I've ever seen), and several of them as you saw have gotten involved in the production, writing, composition, and choreography of their songs. And once they do a cover, it's *their* song lmao TRUE cover queens. A few notes on the individual members: - Handong's stage name is actually a combination of her last and first name, because Chinese first names are usually one syllable but Korean first names are usually two. That's how Han Dong became Handong! - Handong and Dami are definitely the introverts of the group, but part of the reason why Handong used to be so shy is because she struggled with Korean. When they debuted, she'd only been a Korean trainee for six months, so it was hard for her to keep up with and participate in conversations, on top of being one of the new members with not as much trainee experience. She's come a hugely long way; you'll definitely notice a difference in her performance power between Odd Eye-now and before she participated in Youth With You. She worked really hard that whole year to improve on her own, and it's part of the reason she wanted to participate in the show in the first place. - Dami has really taken off as a vocalist this past year and also recently got certified with Pro Tools, which is music production software - Siyeon is called a wolf in part due to her intimidating gaze, but also because she identifies strongly with them for how loyal they are. Each of the girls actually has an animal signifier: Jiu is a rabbit, Sua is a chick, Siyeon is a wolf, Handong is a cat, Yoohyeon is a dog, Dami is a panda, and Gahyeon is a fox. - Even though this guide lists Sua as a lead rapper, she really has only rapped in their song Good Night. She was the main rapper in Minx, but shortly after Dreamcatcher's debut decided to focus more on vocals, so she's not *really* part of the rap line. It's Gahyeon and Dami 99% of the time, though actually Handong has rapped on a few tracks in the past few years, and I've started to wonder if they will officially add her to the line up. - Dami actually gets compared a lot to Felix from Stray Kids! They've got very similar vocal tones and I would die for them to collab - You'll hear Gahyeon referred to as Sua and Siyeon's child a lot and her being very loud like them (mostly Sua) is part of the reason XD As for what you should check out next...for off-stage content, the reigning channel is insomnicsy! They put TONS of work into making compilations of the group's funny moments, and they also have a series called "This Is" that essentially gives each member their own 7-minute personality profile. The 2020 and 2021 version are both definitely worth checking out! Also, to help you understand some of the clips you saw in this guide, I'd recommend watching their reality show, Dreamcatcher Mind! There are 10 very hilarious (and sometimes emotional) episodes. For songs, there's their most recent release, BEcause and the Summer Holiday album. But the next *big* thing is their other MV storyline, the Nightmare series. But they also have a ton of amazing b-sides to delve into if you want to get a more comprehensive feel for their sound. All the title tracks are rock, but the b-sides cover *everything*. And a lot of them have special clips/performance videos. Just a few are Black or White, Wind Blows, Red Sun, Sahara (self-made MV), July 7th, Lullaby, and Mayday. You could also check out Minx! They have two popular songs, Why Did You Come To My Home and Love Shake. They're both a little cringy, but it's kind of a rite of passage to see where they started and appreciate how far they've come. Siyeon and Dami especially never liked the cute concept and I think you'll agree that Dreamcatcher suits them MUCH better. In addition to ALL THAT, they've also done TONS of solo/subunit covers that will give you a good idea of their true vocal power. These are some I'd recommend: For Sua: I Love You (w/ Jiu and Siyeon) and Copycat For Jiu: Honesty and her JYP cover with Sua ( I don't know the actual song name cuz it's in Korean) For Siyeon: Overdose and her original song Paradise For Handong: her original solo First Light of Dawn and Snapping from this year's Halloween concert For Yoohyeon: Secret Love Song and Touch For Dami: Palette (w/Yoohyeon), Havana (w/Sua), and her original song Butterfly For Gahyeon: Adult Ceremony (live performance) and Vanishing Paycheck SORRY THAT'S A LOT OF INFO, but they have been around for five years and they feed fans well with a LOT of content, so there really is a TON to explore from them! AND they might be having their next comeback soon. Whatever piques your interest, I'm so glad you're joining the fandom and can't wait to see you continue your journey! I always have to support a fellow Dami bias lol
48:39 Yes that is their lightstick...the SMALL version. Yes, they have the largest or should I say the longest lightstick in all of Kpop, that lightstick has a detachable end which makes their lightstick look like a legit weapon or a witch's wand. To give context, take 3 ARMY Bomb lightsticks and stack them that is how long Dreamcatcher's lightstick is and it can even grow longer. 47:37 See that thing Jiu is holding in the middle? Yeah, that is the lightstick. And also at 48:48.
dami is actually my ult! once you get to know her, you figure out she’s absolutely adorable. i feel like most guides don’t tend to showcase her all that much T-T but if you watch more dreamcatcher videos like ‘dreamcatcher mind’ or videos from the channel called ‘insomnicy’, you’ll get to know her (plus all the other members) much better :]
I never thought that I would spend my time and money for a group if you ask me back then when I first introduced to kpop. Dreamcatcher is special😊 I'm glad that so many people including you, discovered Dreamcatcher. We need more people to support and get them their deserve first win on music show. Let's go guys💪🏻
This is the guide that I suggest for all those that want to know Dreamcatcher’s along with the “This is” series; 2020 and 2021 versions. Anything from Imsomnicity is good since that channel has so many compilations for them. And Dodging Disbandment and other extreme sports: A History of Dreamcatcher is also a good thing to watch. Dreamcatcher Mind is their variety show esk 10 ep series that they did and it is a must watch for any Insomnia or future Insomnia; so entertaining. Despite their official positions, Dreamcatcher is 7 vocalist, 7 dancers, 7 rappers and 7 visuals. Chaotic, talented, beautiful, crackheads. There are technically 4 extroverts and 3 introverts. Extroverts- JiU, SuA, Siyeon and Yoohyeon. Introverts- Handong, Dami, Gahyeon. Mamamoo is the only other female group I listen to and they have 4 vocalists .. vocal queens (even the main rapper is a talented and under rated vocalist), they also choreographed their own stuff prior to HIP at least as they wanted to focus more on vocals and simpler choreography did that. But Solar, Wheein and Moonbyul have definitely choreographed their own solo stuff or in Solar’s case her dance covers on her TH-cam channel. Solar, Wheein, Siyeon, Yoohyeon and SuA are definitely some of the best vocalist in my opinion. Just like Solar and Siyeon are two of the best main vocalist in my opinion. Piri is still my fav title track while my fav b-side is And There Is No One Left (both tracks are from their 6th album). Dami our rapping panda and Siyeon our main vocalist wolf are my biases. My bias wreckers are our Queen crow tit SuA and pink princess bunny JiU. Yoohyeon and Handong love to fight JiU for a wrecker spot. Deja Vu is a masterpiece that should have gotten a Win. Any song from Dystopia trilogy and/or Wind Blows should have gotten a win. They would have a win if the KPop world was more open minded… Eclipse is there anime collab as it’s an opening theme for the Kings Raid anime. No More is a single that was then added to the Eclipse EP. My fav original Japanese b-sides are My way and Don’t Light My Fire. They have Japanese versions of most of their Nightmare series title tracks and 2 Nightmare b-sides. Their covers as group, individual or subunit are of various genres. “I love you” with Siyeon, SuA and JiU is one of my fav trio sub unit covers. Siyeon has killed whatever she decides to cover- Overdose, Speechless, Faded, We All Lie… Paradise is an important song her her in terms of the lyrics and the inspiration behind it.There are 4 MVs for Paradise; 3 that use the album track - rock/EDM, white ver, black ver. And a Piano version that I just her and a guy playing piano that show off her beautiful vocals even more. Fav nightmare series title- Piri (from End of Nightmare) Fav nightmare series b-side- And There Was No One Left (From End of Nightmare) Their Nightmare ep just has Chase me and a ballad Emotion. Fall Asleep in the Mirrior has Good Night and the ballad Lullaby . Fav Before- After b-side (Fly High is the title) - Wake up or the ballad Trust Me Fav Escape the Era b-side (You and I title) - Which A Star or Mayday Fav Alone in the Mirror b-side (What title) - Trap Fav Raid of Dream b-Side- curse of the spider Fav ballad- Trust me or Polaris Fav Dystopia title- Boca I guess … though they all are in my top 5 with Piri and Deja Vu.. Fav tree of language b-side- In the Frozen, Sahara or Red Sun Loose myself has 3 tracks that I all love- Boca and the two b-sides- Can’t get you out of my mind and Dear Fav Road to Utopia b-side- Poison Love Fav Summer Holiday b- side- Whistle Jiu has wrote/composed or helped with - Dear, 4 memory (I swear I read something or saw an interview where they said JiU helped with this song), AllDayLong, Black Or White. Dami- You and I, Scar, What, New Days, Once Upon A Time, Butterfly, Black or White, Break the Wall. Siyeon helped with BEcause, Airplane and A Heart of Sunflower, Paradise, Black or White Yoohyeon helped with Whistle and Alldaylong. Some of their help with writing is with the chorus so they don’t get full official writhing credits on Wikipedia and such. But I have a screenshot that shows these credits for chorus for at least Summer Holiday. Handong wrote her solo “Dawn”/“First Light of Dawn”
Yes “this is 2020 & 2021” series by insomniacy if you want to know about their personalities and for music I suggest the nightmare series of their title tracks
Dreamcatcher Mind is a very interesting 10 episode reality project. It shows many parts of them and it's highly entertaining, so I suggest it at the very least for personal viewing. Much of the guide material comes from that. It's all translated with captions, so it's easy to watch. Dreamcatcher Note, the official behind the scenes footage, is also very interesting, but because most of it isn't translated, I suggest the Insomnicsy videos. They give a good summary.
I loved the haunted hospital one and the Among Us episode is the best, just don't spoil the imposter in the comments :D And while the past life one isn't stuff I'm into, I was in tears by the end.
@@blg988333 As Ryu Sera, honorary InSomnia President for Life said, Dreamcatcher Mind saved us during the Lockdown. Her interview with DC is also a must watch.
Dami is a type of dancer that do her own thing in dancing, everything she does is so different from others like she dances her own dance but it magically fits in even though it's technically wrong
6:13 Minho from skz is a choreographer (Hyunjin has done some choreographing too but he isn't necessarily a choreographer). Hellevator was choregraphed by him. I think that is one of the benefits Dreamcatcher has as being a part of a small company (which is something that is always talked about as a negative) because they seem to get a lot more freedom over certain things.
They forgot to list JiU's most important role: Goofiest Goofball. Dreamcatcher's members are all exceptionally talented, but it's difficult to sufficiently emphasize just how good at dancing SuA is. Being good at dancing is a professional requirement for K-pop Idols, so to some extent all of them are... but among idols, SuA is top tier (in close competition for title of the very best). Dreamcatcher's members are all adorably silly. Gahyeon is the Maknae (youngest) so she's supposed to be cute and silly. But each one of the other members is so cute and silly that you'd think they're the Maknae: the fake Maknae line is basically the whole group. It's fairly common for a group's main rapper to write their own rap verses, so I assume that's why Dami gets so many writing credits. She might be involved in other parts of the song-writing, but it's hard to say from an outside perspective.
Thanks for the reaction and the final thoughts as well! :) As an InSomnia AND an ARMY (it was thanks to BTS that I became a huge InSomnia during "Fake Love" comeback promo), I'm so happy you are also drawn to Dreamcatcher. I just have to remind you that in BTS we also have one of the greatest choreographer: Kim Seokjin!!! With his legendary "Spinebreaker" and "Super Tuna" choreos! xD Just in case, Hobi, Jimin and JK also participate a lot in their choreos. My bias in BTS is also SUGA, it was almost instantly with his rap lines (started as a fan during "Dope" and his flow killed it) but in DC, I struggled for quite some time before having a bias as they almost all fascinated me. After two comebacks, Siyeon became my bias with her blond hair and her bridge in "Piri". Looking forward to more reactions.
DC are really awesome. Their music is really amazing and their personalities are just as amazing. First I loved their chaotic personalities but what I love even more is how genuinely kind they are. From spending 30 mins helping a backup dancer find a ring they lost to giving a fan advice on how to deal with bullying they’re just really good people. They deserve all the love and support🥺 Their fandom is like a safe space. If you’d like to get to know the members personalities more insomniscy has a 7 min video on each member. You can’t find them by searching Insomniscy this is series. Insomniscy also have videos of DC as a whole just being chaotic Also they have arguably the most difficult girl group choreographies in K-Pop. Their choreo’s are really fast and powerful like their songs. They also have really beautiful ballad b-sides. You get literary everything with DC! They also do special clips where they cover songs so if you’re interested in seeing the members take on totally different styles of music I recommend them. Yoohyeon covered Ed Sheeran- Perfect for example. There isn’t a genre they can’t do
16:06 Groups who have choreographers within the group that I know of: BIGBANG leader G-Dragon, Taeyang (during their trainee days and early years) BROWN EYED GIRLS Gain After School leader Kahi EXO Kai, Lay BTS J-Hope CLC Seungyeon SEVENTEEN Hoshi iKON former leader B.I, DK WINNER Hoony I.O.I Chungha Stray Kids Lee Know, Hyunjin, Felix (G)I-DLE leader Soyeon, former member Soojin IZ*ONE leader Eunbi and Chaeyeon ATEEZ Yunho, Mingi, Wooyoung TREASURE leaders Hyunsuk & Jihoon, Mashiho, Doyoung, Junghwan Note: Other groups may have choreographers within them but it hasn't been documented quite well as those mentioned above or maybe I haven't checked out other groups who may have a choreographer within them.
Yass been waiting for this! Enjoyed your reaction, and also love it when you immediately look up the correct pronunciation of their names 😍 Not sure if you’re prefer to explore their music or want to see more of their personalities first, but if you do want the later, heres a recommendation. You can check out This is…. Series by Insomnicsy channel. They’re really fun, dorky crackheads 😂 There are two seasons for that series, 7 episodes for each season for each member. Here you go This is… 2020: th-cam.com/play/PLTeXsqL7jUNE0tpv4x6mbslIXFusZYWaO.html This is… 2021: th-cam.com/play/PLTeXsqL7jUNHQepScKuqjJ3MS-IDH7QO1.html It’s up to if You want react to each member separately or everything in one long video. We dont mind either way cause we just love seeing how people react to these weird, dorky girls 🤣
The former leader of 9Muses Ryu Sera has a channel, she has an exclusive interview with Dreamcatcher a few years ago, she reacted to one of their videos, then basically became the Insomnia president. Dami is her bias, it's so interesting to watch her reactions to DC videos. Pixy is a rookie group that debuted last year, pretty much everyone who loves DC, loves Pixy. They also have a dark concept, and some incredibly talented girls (one who is also named Sua). I would recommend you check out the Bewitched MV, I'm pretty sure you will be obsessed with it, like everyone else was. Everyone else already recommended the "This is..." series, but basically anything on Insomniscy channel. Nice to see others recommended Mera's video (Dodging disbandment), it really has detailed info, and different perspective, and controversies listed.
OKAY LASTLY i recommend pixy!! They just debut last year with their debut song called Winx, they also have a dark concept and rock pop genre so if you like dreamcatcher you’ll also like pixy 😊, I recommend Winx, Addicted and Bewitched. again I love your videos!!
As many people already said: Insomnicsy channel is the best place. Dreamcatcher girls even reacted to some of the compilations of Insomnicsy ,so it's DC approved :D
I mean this is not any shade to other groups, but yes in my opinion all Dreamcatcher members (yes including Dami) could be lead or main vocalists if they were in any other group. All those "brain" clips of Dami (as well as a few other clips) were from different episodes of their reality show "Dreamcatcher Mind" btw, which is on their official channel, it's really fun. I've known Dreamcatcher for a while and I've never really watched guides for myself but I watch a lot of reactions, and this was my first time seeing this particular guide, and I do think it's a really good one! I made sure to watch the rest of that guide after your footage cut out because I was interested what else it had to say. I especially love that they included the part about LGBTQ+ support, which I really love about DC. There's a 4 and a half minute video on their support of LGBTQ+ and more here that I've seen before and really liked th-cam.com/video/jX23dxe1akI/w-d-xo.html I'm excited to be with you on your journey, Dreamcatcher really are amazing ^_^
It’s not entirely common, but there are a few girl groups out there with strong vocalists all throughout the group, a few would be; - Mamamoo - Red Velvet - Purple Kiss - JYPn (not their official name, they haven’t debuted yet but all the members were revealed through performance videos and they’re all great vocalists)
@@echodvc4543 that’s cool. WJSN in particular are considered vocal powerhouses. Of the 10 members currently active (the 3 Chinese members have been doing other stuff in china for a few years now) they have 3 are main vocalists, including Yeonjung, one of the main vocalists for I.O.I, 2 lead vocalists & the rest are all listed as vocalists, even their main rapper….all are very steady vocally. Fromis_9 has multiple main & lead vocalists as well.
A lot of people have some great suggestions like the "This is..." series (all of them of course) and Dreamcatcher Mind. I'd also like to recommend the "Dodging disbandment and other extreme sports a history of dreamcatcher" by mera. It's more like a chronology of the band and more of a view of them from an industry point of view but mera is a great narrator and really lays out just how lucky we are to have Dreamcatcher still around and goes over a lot of trials they faced as a group.
I love your reaction,I started my journey with dreamcatcher in 2020 after watching *scream mv* recommended by an army friend Now I love them ,they are my ult girl group Am so happy you're giving them a chance My bias is Siyeon and Sua,wrecker basically every other member
their choreos, keep in mind that no one (even bgs) have covered their dances yet they covered ate, not, bts and more even if bg songs are "harder". their energy is insane!
Thanks for the reaction!!! Welcome to Insomnia. Hehe. Please do more dreamcatcher reaction. Btw, Dreamcatcher light "stick" is actually a staff. And they also have a robe. 🤣 I hope u can react to their Nightmare Series starting with Chase Me.
Thank you for your reaction and for appreciating Dreamcatcher. If You want to see interactions between them, you must watch their own reality show called Dreamcatchers Mind. In terms of music, you can check Deja Vu. it is a masterpiece and all the b-sides. And of course, you might take the DC Journey that consist in reacting to all the MVs and special clips to the day, the next comeback should be soon, so you would get in the mood hahaha. About what you said about vocals in GGs. Not that commonto have the vocal quality in all the members as DC have. Very few GGS have 7 main everything
Many mentioned insomnicsy's videos and I can only agree with it. She has all types of content (funny compilations, introductions, chemistry between the girls, some vlive translations etc). I would say you can choose any of her videos and have a fun time.
I looooove dreamcatcher, I'm happy that you enjoyed the guide and the girls' talent/personalities. (in fact I'm a multi, an army-moomoo-insomnia-moa-carat-once. I get your yoongi/dami thing, and, for reference, for me it's hobi/gahyeon-sua. yeah, I'm pretty much a sunshine biased person.)
As far as overall group vocals go, I'd say (and this is kinda widely accepted across most fandoms) Mamamoo and DC are the vocal powerhouses of kpop GG (def top tier in kpop and just music as general), however despite Mamamoo's insane vocal abilities, I'd still have to give DC the best allrounder card with 7 amazing vocalists, 7 rappers, 7 dancers, 7 great and unarguably lovable personalities (idc bout visuals when it comes to credibility so I'm not counting it, however that's an obvious one), you can really just take any one member throw them into any role and they'd do amazing (except for maybe.. leader, god bless jiu we've seen what it can be like without her.. but alas they can not be tamed, for we've also seen the chaos ensued with her there as well xD) That being said of course other groups have great vocalists too, but it's rare for an entire group of powerhouses like MMM and DC (special shoutout to (g)-idle (ot6) and Redvelvet, i may not have seen too many other groups, but from what I've seen here and there those 4 groups are, skill-wise, top of the line) (obviously personal opinions so please keep it calm if y'all bouta reply)
As far as funny videos/compilations anything by insomnicsy is a good choice! Also if you're interested in seeing more dynamics between the members insomnicsy has a "chemistry series" as well :D hmm other than that you could watch "Dreamcatcher once said" or "Dreamcatcher being iconic" Oh I also like the users "Deuxae" and "minjiphinx" and there are other funny compilations out there but yeah most somnies reccomended kit aka insomnicsy bc their vids are always so good, and they update regularly, they really carry the international fandom haha As far as music it would be cool to see you go through the rest of their title tracks, or even do an album listen, I recommend listening to one of their albums in full (maybe their first, and currently only, full album "The Tree of Language") so you can see how even though they are the queens of rock they also have other genres and styles up their sleeves 😀
I would highly recomend watching Insomnicsy's 'This is...' series. It lets you get to know their personalities way better 🥰 It has Two Seasons 'This is *insert members name* 2020' and '2021'. I would suggest watching both per member, they are short but you will not regret it 🥰🥰🥰
THANK SO MUCH FOR CHECKING OUT DREAMCATCHER!! They are really an amazing, interesting and talented group. Oh and I recommend ONF (pronounced as and short for on and off) ONF is a South Korean boy group formed and managed by WM Entertainment. Originally debuting as a seven-piece group on August 3, 2017 with their EP, the group is now composed of six members: Hyojin, E-Tion, J-Us, Wyatt, MK and U. I recommend their song We must love, Why, beautiful beautiful and pooping to see just a snippet of their discography. Btw i love your videos!!
i saw many recommending "this is..." series so i would love to recommend "Dodging Disbandment and Other Extreme Sports: A History of Dreamcatcher" by Mera it gives full insight what they went through be were they are right now so its highly recommend and loved your reaction! looking forward to more of it!! thank you~
Dami is also good vocalist. Unfortunately, this isn't shown in this video. I recommend you to listen or to react to her song with Siyeon "Shadow" (slowed version). You will be impressed.
jazz bar and whistle is her best 'technique' wise tho. they also didn't showcase siyeon actual serious rap, and handong jiu rap. probably cause their computer will crash with so many clip to download lmao
Red Sun is probably my favorite Dreamcatcher song and it's actually the one I show people before anything else because the entire feel and meaning of the song is just so perfect. I figure if I can hook them with a b-side as strong as that the rest of the discography will completely enthrall them.
When you finish with dreamcatcher another girl group to react to is (G)-idle, they also have unique concepts and the leader even wrote an created some of the concepts
in 2014 a new Light arrived in this World 🌏 " MINX " , but this Light was sent into Darkness and Shadow. Then a Flame 🔥came out of Darkness and Shadow , This Flame 🔥 brought Both Light and Warmth to the World 🌏 for All Time ⏳ , They are Dreamcatcher 🔥⚡
Dreamcatcher: where the "normal one" is twice as weird as other groups' weird one. Kpop groups in general are performance oriented, in most the vocals take a back seat to visuals, dancing, even the fashion. It seems like hard work to get so many clips of (mostly) live singing for the video, it's uncommon. Dreamcatcher is an exception to the rule where they can ALL sing. Mamamoo is the top vocal group in the last decade of kpop, a lot of their popular songs can't be covered because you'd have to get a bunch of groups' main vocalists together. Red Velvet is up at the top vocal tier, and Bvndit showed a lot of promise but have been quiet a long time.
to Celebrate Handong Return they are Making Their Signature Super Fun SELF MADE Music Video POISON LOVE Highly Recomended! and The Only Group that Make this Kinda MV.... and They Have 4. On this MV All the members are Fall in Love with Handong including Herself. Other Self Made MV : SAHARA, BREAK THE WALL, JULY 7th(Show Champ Backstage Version) CURS OF THE SPIDER(This one Have No Official on Yontnbe Only from Fancam)
I'm so glad they went away from the "standard" cute concepts because tbh, I can't stomach it very well. I've never really been the super "girly" type, so that's why I often have a hard time getting into girl groups. The only girl groups I have ever stanned are Mamamoo and Purple Kiss (and Dreamcatcher eventually). The mature pop vibes that Mamamoo has and the rocky/metal vibes from Purple Kiss and Dreamcatcher are much more my style. SEVENTEEN ALSO HAS A CHOREOGRAPHER IN THEIR GROUP!!!!!! Sorry, Hoshi is my ult wrecker, so I had to mention it. Hoshi is the main choreographer for most of Seventeen's performances. They are one of my 3 ult groups (Ateez, Seventeen, & BTS). Self-producing AND Self-choreographing. 17:44 SuA's screams I- what is wrong with her omg that is not a normal noise for a human to make 😂 Siyeon omg that Speechless cover 😍 Solar (the leader of Mamamoo) did a cover of Speechless too! They both have such powerful belting voices, it's my favorite thing!!!!! BUT WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE MAIN VOCALISTS THAT GET ME IN THE END????? It used to be the rappers, but ever since 'you know who' 😒🍎🐻, all the main vocalists have been coming for me 😩 And that short blonde hair- I stan 🔥❤️ Omg Dami has the same birthday as my dog 🤣 She has such a cool voice! Like Moonbyul, I just think deep voiced female rappers are so captivating. And the Suga comment- she does remind me of him too on first impression lol. My first ever ult bias 💜 but those main vocalists- I think I also have a type 😅 Can't wait for more of them! 💕
I've heard about Mamamoo, might be good to check out after Dreamcatcher! I should also check out Seventeen too! 😛 SuA's screams cracked me up 😂 Yeah I think Siyeon is my bias wrecker!! Her voice is a m a z i ng Glad you're joining me on my Dreamcatcher discovery! 😄
Yeah, insomnicys channel for personality compilations. th-cam.com/users/insomnicsy%EC%9D%B8%EC%8D%B8%EB%8B%89%EC%94%A8 You can basically pick anything randomly. She is the best editor I've seen anywhere on YT. Her channel is focused on the funny side of Dreamcatcher. If you want a more serious look at them then watch the interview series their company made called Between Dreamcatcher and Me th-cam.com/play/PLmNaKWy1cIoEbPBSZdxbBix6Ai_XQX_j-.html (Warning: Gahyeon cries a lot) For their music you can follow the timeline in the guide for the title tracks or you can go album by album. Each album also usually has MV's of some of the B-sides that they call special clips. These are made by Dreamcatcher company with a minimal budget unlike the title tracks which are made by an outside audio-visual company. Their special video playlist is here th-cam.com/play/PLmNaKWy1cIoFv6GU6_CYSFfOckbw_C1hi.html They also have made several parody vids of their own songs. No other Kpop group does that. Most of their videos are on the official Dreamcatcher channel and can be safely uploaded. Stage performances they've done for Korean broadcasters like Mnet, SBS, KBS on their music shows may be blocked. There's much more but way too much to list here. Enjoy.
IMO: the best thing about Handong is her cute little hop when she's excited. th-cam.com/video/I2VSN42beH0/w-d-xo.html I can't wait until they tour again!
I won't consider a few second snippet as a spoilers..it's more like a preview...it's good that this guide didn't show too much of their song..so that everyone that watch the guide can explore by themselves...besides, they can always ask for InSomnia's help about which song they should check out next...
easy mistake to make, but I wouldn't say that handong was "stuck" in Wuhan per say. Yeah that's where Covid originated so it sounds bad, but that's just where her family is from, so she was just at home for a while
You Should Watch DREAMCATCHER MIND! Before (I Hope) they Release the 2nd Seasom this Year! If you Really Like Dami you Should wæㅜcㅐ her Duet w Siyeon SHADOW (Ost. Drama) I Recomend the Slow Version Video of Their Complete History Since 2014 on Ch. 'mera' And then their Self Made Parody Drama 'World of Marriage'
I would highly recommend the video by Mera called "Dodging Disbandment and Other Extreme Sports: A History of Dreamcatcher" as it really delves into the band's history as Minx, and the struggles the group has had after returning as Dreamcatcher. It's really well done and worth the half hour to watch it. I always recommend it to new fans of Dreamcatcher. The video is about two years old, so it doesn't cover more recent history of the group. th-cam.com/video/YIgCAp3i1os/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for reacting to my guide and for your kind words!!!
I love watching guide reactions, so watching you reacting to my guide made my day 😊
Omg thank YOU for your amazing guide!!! It was so, so helpful, and so happy I could make your day 🥰🥰
Also you are criminally undersubbed!
Thank you, Dreamworld!
I just watched this reaction and ive just subed to dreamworld. Im a new insomnia
Yay! So happy to see reactions to your guide! 🥰
Awesome
Okay, so “Wolf” is basically a nickname fans gave Siyeon for her intense gaze and beautiful voice.
If you want to get to know more of their personalities , I highly recommend insomnicsy's 'This Is..." series of videos! They have a 2020 and 2021 versions; for individual members, I recommend the "This Is..." 2021 version and 2020 version of the group as a whole! They're each about 7 minutes long.
Actually anything by Insomnicsy. She does wonderful work for InSomnia.
Actually they are 7 minutes long (7 members)
insomnicsy ♥️
@@AmadanMath Insomnicsy is a she?
@@brianlittrell797 Yes. I believe it was known in the fandom for longer, but here she states it in her FAQ: th-cam.com/users/postUgxZVTCJEXALW6pBsPd4AaABCQ
The guide doesn't mention it but Jiu's songs all have very sweet and wholesome meanings behind them.
Dear is a love letter to fans. The lyrics talk about meeting fans at fansigns and says "I used to wonder if it was okay to say I love you but now those words seem too small" Like that as rookies, she wondered if it was okay to already tell fans she loves them and it felt awkward but now her love is too big for those words to express everything.
4 memory came out right after their 4th anniversary and is about the memories she made with the members in the different seasons with them and saying how she'll always remember it all.
Alldaylong was inspired by a hug she recieved from Yoohyeon. They were both having a tough day so one of them said "Let us that are having a hard time, hug each other" So it has lyrics that say "I think your hug could comfort my world"
She really is so sweet 🥺
This reminds me of Twice's "You Make Me Feel Special" song, which I believe is a song the Twice members wrote to express how they feel about each other and their gratitude for each other.
With people like Jiu and Yoohyeon you can see, hear and feel the sweetness and love within seconds of observing them. Some idols just radiate that type of goodness and purity.
The friendships of the members of some of these K pop groups is the best part of their job. The job might last for 7 to 15 years. But love and friendships can last forever. Not just for a single lifetime.
@@brianlittrell797 oo, i never knew they write 'you make me feel special' its actually my favourite song of theirs. jyp should let them produce more
@@gahyeonsimp5396 I misworded what I wrote. Based on what I heard Chaeyoung say about the song in an interview, Twice at the very least contributed to the song by telling the writers what they wanted the song to express. Whether they came up with the actual words in the song I'm not sure, but it makes sense that they probably came up with some of the words given that they said the song is about them.
Insomnicsy's channel might be the best Dreamcatcher channel on youtube. The "This Is" series of videos are the most famous ones but there are plenty of other great videos on their channel to react to.
You’ve entered a rabbit hole from which there is (thankfully) no escape…..enjoy your journey to getting to know these 7 talented, beautiful, charming, chaotic crackheads!
Highly recommend the "this is..." series by Insomnicsy. It has, what i would call, a 2020 "first time introduction" version and a 2021 "this is also them" version.
These help give a very good insight to the members individually off stage.
In fact, I'd highly recommend alot of Insomnicsy's videos since they are a very dedicated dreamcatcher content channel. Alot of their videos consists of Vlive footage, music show greenrooms, vlogs and the like. Great content to watch to see the members individually and as a group.
Im glad you're enjoying them so far.
Yes I definitely plan to react to Insomnicsy! Thanks for the tip 🙂
@@laurenclaire 😁
Me: Let's go to bed
Also me: Oh, she uploaded a reaction to the guide, nice. I've seen it already though....aaaah well I guess I can go to bed after this.
Btw, the video "Dodging Disbandment and Other Extreme Sports: A History of Dreamcatcher" is still very worth to watch if you want to know a bit about how they overcame some hurdles in their early years.
Same... it's 3:40 am right now ;-;
Lmaoooo same here
Lol omg I'm so sorry for disrupting your sleep cycle 😫
And I definitely plan on reacting to that video! Thanks for the rec 🙂
i recommented "dreamcatcher mind" that is dreamcatcher first variety show, its on dreamcatcher official channel, also on it is "between dreamcatcher and I" for knowing better their feeling and most vulnerable selves or literally anything from insomniacsy !! especial their "always seven" video, that is an special for dreamcatcher 5th anniversary
Insomncsy is the best youtube channel with Dreamcatcher content. I recommend watching in addition to the series "This is...", watching Always Seven (5th Dreamcatcher Anniversary). And on the official Dreamcatcher channel, I recommend watching the 10 episodes of their reality show, Dreamcatcher Mind. I also really like Mera's video on the History of Dreamcatcher. It tells the problems they went through and that justifies the strength of their friendship.
I'm so happy you reacted to this guide! It's so well made and, as far as I've seen, it's the only one that talks about Handong's absence and shows what she was doing during that time. I highly recommend reacting to "BEcause" since it's their latest comeback and also some special clips from the Dystopia era like "Red Sun", "Black or White", "Sahara", "Break The Wall", "Wind Blows", and "Poison Love." ^_^
Thanks for the recs! 🙂
@@laurenclaire you should definitly react to those mvs mentioned above. You have mvs like sahara, break the wall and poison love that are unique cause is the girls just havin fun and i recomend you to watch always 7 that is a 5 years anniversary video made by insomnicsy
I loooved how you instantly searched for Gahyeon's name pronunciation. Glad to see you joining the cult, welcome!
As a combination of their crackhead personalities and their music, I'd recommend their self-made MVs, especially Sahara, Break the Wall and Poison Love. You'll see what I mean!
Oh god their self-made videos are some of the best :D Poison Love was the perfect "Welcome Back" for dongie and I don't blame everyone else for falling head over heels for her.
Ahh so glad you got to react to this!!! They really are one of the all-around most talented, friendly, and *chaotic* groups out there. They really do love each other like a family, and the group dynamic wouldn't work if just one of them was missing. Even when Handong was in China for Youth With You, they talked all the time about how much they missed her and wanted to send their support.
Seeing their off-stage personalities after their badass stage presence definitely is surprising! Especially for Dami. She's so intimidating on stage but in reality she's just a tiny dork XD I love how distinct all their personalities are and how they shine equally on stage, because a lot of times in larger groups it's hard not to have members that stand out more and members that fade to the back. They really are a group of seven complete all-arounders. They can all rap, all sing, all dance, they're all *visuals* (like my god I swear they're the most gorgeous group I've ever seen), and several of them as you saw have gotten involved in the production, writing, composition, and choreography of their songs. And once they do a cover, it's *their* song lmao TRUE cover queens.
A few notes on the individual members:
- Handong's stage name is actually a combination of her last and first name, because Chinese first names are usually one syllable but Korean first names are usually two. That's how Han Dong became Handong!
- Handong and Dami are definitely the introverts of the group, but part of the reason why Handong used to be so shy is because she struggled with Korean. When they debuted, she'd only been a Korean trainee for six months, so it was hard for her to keep up with and participate in conversations, on top of being one of the new members with not as much trainee experience. She's come a hugely long way; you'll definitely notice a difference in her performance power between Odd Eye-now and before she participated in Youth With You. She worked really hard that whole year to improve on her own, and it's part of the reason she wanted to participate in the show in the first place.
- Dami has really taken off as a vocalist this past year and also recently got certified with Pro Tools, which is music production software
- Siyeon is called a wolf in part due to her intimidating gaze, but also because she identifies strongly with them for how loyal they are. Each of the girls actually has an animal signifier: Jiu is a rabbit, Sua is a chick, Siyeon is a wolf, Handong is a cat, Yoohyeon is a dog, Dami is a panda, and Gahyeon is a fox.
- Even though this guide lists Sua as a lead rapper, she really has only rapped in their song Good Night. She was the main rapper in Minx, but shortly after Dreamcatcher's debut decided to focus more on vocals, so she's not *really* part of the rap line. It's Gahyeon and Dami 99% of the time, though actually Handong has rapped on a few tracks in the past few years, and I've started to wonder if they will officially add her to the line up.
- Dami actually gets compared a lot to Felix from Stray Kids! They've got very similar vocal tones and I would die for them to collab
- You'll hear Gahyeon referred to as Sua and Siyeon's child a lot and her being very loud like them (mostly Sua) is part of the reason XD
As for what you should check out next...for off-stage content, the reigning channel is insomnicsy! They put TONS of work into making compilations of the group's funny moments, and they also have a series called "This Is" that essentially gives each member their own 7-minute personality profile. The 2020 and 2021 version are both definitely worth checking out! Also, to help you understand some of the clips you saw in this guide, I'd recommend watching their reality show, Dreamcatcher Mind! There are 10 very hilarious (and sometimes emotional) episodes.
For songs, there's their most recent release, BEcause and the Summer Holiday album. But the next *big* thing is their other MV storyline, the Nightmare series. But they also have a ton of amazing b-sides to delve into if you want to get a more comprehensive feel for their sound. All the title tracks are rock, but the b-sides cover *everything*. And a lot of them have special clips/performance videos. Just a few are Black or White, Wind Blows, Red Sun, Sahara (self-made MV), July 7th, Lullaby, and Mayday.
You could also check out Minx! They have two popular songs, Why Did You Come To My Home and Love Shake. They're both a little cringy, but it's kind of a rite of passage to see where they started and appreciate how far they've come. Siyeon and Dami especially never liked the cute concept and I think you'll agree that Dreamcatcher suits them MUCH better.
In addition to ALL THAT, they've also done TONS of solo/subunit covers that will give you a good idea of their true vocal power. These are some I'd recommend:
For Sua: I Love You (w/ Jiu and Siyeon) and Copycat
For Jiu: Honesty and her JYP cover with Sua ( I don't know the actual song name cuz it's in Korean)
For Siyeon: Overdose and her original song Paradise
For Handong: her original solo First Light of Dawn and Snapping from this year's Halloween concert
For Yoohyeon: Secret Love Song and Touch
For Dami: Palette (w/Yoohyeon), Havana (w/Sua), and her original song Butterfly
For Gahyeon: Adult Ceremony (live performance) and Vanishing Paycheck
SORRY THAT'S A LOT OF INFO, but they have been around for five years and they feed fans well with a LOT of content, so there really is a TON to explore from them! AND they might be having their next comeback soon. Whatever piques your interest, I'm so glad you're joining the fandom and can't wait to see you continue your journey! I always have to support a fellow Dami bias lol
Haha thank you so, so much for all this info and the recommendations, fellow Dami bias! 😁
48:39 Yes that is their lightstick...the SMALL version.
Yes, they have the largest or should I say the longest lightstick in all of Kpop, that lightstick has a detachable end which makes their lightstick look like a legit weapon or a witch's wand. To give context, take 3 ARMY Bomb lightsticks and stack them that is how long Dreamcatcher's lightstick is and it can even grow longer. 47:37 See that thing Jiu is holding in the middle? Yeah, that is the lightstick. And also at 48:48.
dami is actually my ult! once you get to know her, you figure out she’s absolutely adorable. i feel like most guides don’t tend to showcase her all that much T-T but if you watch more dreamcatcher videos like ‘dreamcatcher mind’ or videos from the channel called ‘insomnicy’, you’ll get to know her (plus all the other members) much better :]
Their lightstick can be upgraded to be longer making it literally a lightstaff.
NO WAY that's amazing
Or a "light pole", like what JiU did in one of their online concert... 😂
@@laurenclaire You can also replace the top and get a light spear instead.
idk if anyone said this already but they debuted on Friday the 13th with a horror concept. that alone is brilliant rebranding in my eyes
I never thought that I would spend my time and money for a group if you ask me back then when I first introduced to kpop. Dreamcatcher is special😊 I'm glad that so many people including you, discovered Dreamcatcher. We need more people to support and get them their deserve first win on music show. Let's go guys💪🏻
ahhh this was fun to watch. you should checkout "a guide to seventeen".. theres a couple of them out there so u make ur choice lol
This is the guide that I suggest for all those that want to know Dreamcatcher’s along with the “This is” series; 2020 and 2021 versions. Anything from Imsomnicity is good since that channel has so many compilations for them. And Dodging Disbandment and other extreme sports: A History of Dreamcatcher is also a good thing to watch. Dreamcatcher Mind is their variety show esk 10 ep series that they did and it is a must watch for any Insomnia or future Insomnia; so entertaining. Despite their official positions, Dreamcatcher is 7 vocalist, 7 dancers, 7 rappers and 7 visuals. Chaotic, talented, beautiful, crackheads. There are technically 4 extroverts and 3 introverts. Extroverts- JiU, SuA, Siyeon and Yoohyeon. Introverts- Handong, Dami, Gahyeon.
Mamamoo is the only other female group I listen to and they have 4 vocalists .. vocal queens (even the main rapper is a talented and under rated vocalist), they also choreographed their own stuff prior to HIP at least as they wanted to focus more on vocals and simpler choreography did that. But Solar, Wheein and Moonbyul have definitely choreographed their own solo stuff or in Solar’s case her dance covers on her TH-cam channel. Solar, Wheein, Siyeon, Yoohyeon and SuA are definitely some of the best vocalist in my opinion. Just like Solar and Siyeon are two of the best main vocalist in my opinion.
Piri is still my fav title track while my fav b-side is And There Is No One Left (both tracks are from their 6th album). Dami our rapping panda and Siyeon our main vocalist wolf are my biases. My bias wreckers are our Queen crow tit SuA and pink princess bunny JiU. Yoohyeon and Handong love to fight JiU for a wrecker spot. Deja Vu is a masterpiece that should have gotten a Win. Any song from Dystopia trilogy and/or Wind Blows should have gotten a win. They would have a win if the KPop world was more open minded… Eclipse is there anime collab as it’s an opening theme for the Kings Raid anime. No More is a single that was then added to the Eclipse EP. My fav original Japanese b-sides are My way and Don’t Light My Fire. They have Japanese versions of most of their Nightmare series title tracks and 2 Nightmare b-sides. Their covers as group, individual or subunit are of various genres. “I love you” with Siyeon, SuA and JiU is one of my fav trio sub unit covers. Siyeon has killed whatever she decides to cover- Overdose, Speechless, Faded, We All Lie… Paradise is an important song her her in terms of the lyrics and the inspiration behind it.There are 4 MVs for Paradise; 3 that use the album track - rock/EDM, white ver, black ver. And a Piano version that I just her and a guy playing piano that show off her beautiful vocals even more.
Fav nightmare series title- Piri (from End of Nightmare)
Fav nightmare series b-side- And There Was No One Left (From End of Nightmare)
Their Nightmare ep just has Chase me and a ballad Emotion. Fall Asleep in the Mirrior has Good Night and the ballad Lullaby .
Fav Before- After b-side (Fly High is the title) - Wake up or the ballad Trust Me
Fav Escape the Era b-side (You and I title) - Which A Star or Mayday
Fav Alone in the Mirror b-side (What title) - Trap
Fav Raid of Dream b-Side- curse of the spider
Fav ballad- Trust me or Polaris
Fav Dystopia title- Boca I guess … though they all are in my top 5 with Piri and Deja Vu..
Fav tree of language b-side- In the Frozen, Sahara or Red Sun
Loose myself has 3 tracks that I all love- Boca and the two b-sides- Can’t get you out of my mind and Dear
Fav Road to Utopia b-side- Poison Love
Fav Summer Holiday b- side- Whistle
Jiu has wrote/composed or helped with - Dear, 4 memory (I swear I read something or saw an interview where they said JiU helped with this song), AllDayLong, Black Or White.
Dami- You and I, Scar, What, New Days, Once Upon A Time, Butterfly, Black or White, Break the Wall.
Siyeon helped with BEcause, Airplane and A Heart of Sunflower, Paradise, Black or White
Yoohyeon helped with Whistle and Alldaylong.
Some of their help with writing is with the chorus so they don’t get full official writhing credits on Wikipedia and such. But I have a screenshot that shows these credits for chorus for at least Summer Holiday.
Handong wrote her solo “Dawn”/“First Light of Dawn”
Yes “this is 2020 & 2021” series by insomniacy if you want to know about their personalities and for music I suggest the nightmare series of their title tracks
Dreamcatcher Mind is a very interesting 10 episode reality project. It shows many parts of them and it's highly entertaining, so I suggest it at the very least for personal viewing. Much of the guide material comes from that. It's all translated with captions, so it's easy to watch.
Dreamcatcher Note, the official behind the scenes footage, is also very interesting, but because most of it isn't translated, I suggest the Insomnicsy videos. They give a good summary.
I loved the haunted hospital one and the Among Us episode is the best, just don't spoil the imposter in the comments :D And while the past life one isn't stuff I'm into, I was in tears by the end.
@@blg988333 As Ryu Sera, honorary InSomnia President for Life said, Dreamcatcher Mind saved us during the Lockdown. Her interview with DC is also a must watch.
Dami is a type of dancer that do her own thing in dancing, everything she does is so different from others like she dances her own dance but it magically fits in even though it's technically wrong
Also I want to thank the ceo of happy face for not giving up on them
Good reaction !! tnks
Wellcome to dream world
6:13 Minho from skz is a choreographer (Hyunjin has done some choreographing too but he isn't necessarily a choreographer). Hellevator was choregraphed by him. I think that is one of the benefits Dreamcatcher has as being a part of a small company (which is something that is always talked about as a negative) because they seem to get a lot more freedom over certain things.
They forgot to list JiU's most important role: Goofiest Goofball.
Dreamcatcher's members are all exceptionally talented, but it's difficult to sufficiently emphasize just how good at dancing SuA is. Being good at dancing is a professional requirement for K-pop Idols, so to some extent all of them are... but among idols, SuA is top tier (in close competition for title of the very best). Dreamcatcher's members are all adorably silly.
Gahyeon is the Maknae (youngest) so she's supposed to be cute and silly. But each one of the other members is so cute and silly that you'd think they're the Maknae: the fake Maknae line is basically the whole group.
It's fairly common for a group's main rapper to write their own rap verses, so I assume that's why Dami gets so many writing credits. She might be involved in other parts of the song-writing, but it's hard to say from an outside perspective.
Great reaction to a great guide! ❤️ You've got plenty of awesome reccs, so enjoy the Dreamworld! 🥰
Thanks for the reaction and the final thoughts as well! :)
As an InSomnia AND an ARMY (it was thanks to BTS that I became a huge InSomnia during "Fake Love" comeback promo), I'm so happy you are also drawn to Dreamcatcher. I just have to remind you that in BTS we also have one of the greatest choreographer: Kim Seokjin!!! With his legendary "Spinebreaker" and "Super Tuna" choreos! xD Just in case, Hobi, Jimin and JK also participate a lot in their choreos. My bias in BTS is also SUGA, it was almost instantly with his rap lines (started as a fan during "Dope" and his flow killed it) but in DC, I struggled for quite some time before having a bias as they almost all fascinated me. After two comebacks, Siyeon became my bias with her blond hair and her bridge in "Piri".
Looking forward to more reactions.
Lmao omg how could I possibly forget about Kim Seokjin!! What a terrible ARMY I am 😂😂
Thanks for watching, fellow Suga bias 🥰
DC are really awesome. Their music is really amazing and their personalities are just as amazing. First I loved their chaotic personalities but what I love even more is how genuinely kind they are. From spending 30 mins helping a backup dancer find a ring they lost to giving a fan advice on how to deal with bullying they’re just really good people. They deserve all the love and support🥺 Their fandom is like a safe space. If you’d like to get to know the members personalities more insomniscy has a 7 min video on each member. You can’t find them by searching Insomniscy this is series. Insomniscy also have videos of DC as a whole just being chaotic
Also they have arguably the most difficult girl group choreographies in K-Pop. Their choreo’s are really fast and powerful like their songs. They also have really beautiful ballad b-sides. You get literary everything with DC! They also do special clips where they cover songs so if you’re interested in seeing the members take on totally different styles of music I recommend them. Yoohyeon covered Ed Sheeran- Perfect for example. There isn’t a genre they can’t do
16:06 Groups who have choreographers within the group that I know of:
BIGBANG leader G-Dragon, Taeyang (during their trainee days and early years)
BROWN EYED GIRLS Gain
After School leader Kahi
EXO Kai, Lay
BTS J-Hope
CLC Seungyeon
SEVENTEEN Hoshi
iKON former leader B.I, DK
WINNER Hoony
I.O.I Chungha
Stray Kids Lee Know, Hyunjin, Felix
(G)I-DLE leader Soyeon, former member Soojin
IZ*ONE leader Eunbi and Chaeyeon
ATEEZ Yunho, Mingi, Wooyoung
TREASURE leaders Hyunsuk & Jihoon, Mashiho, Doyoung, Junghwan
Note:
Other groups may have choreographers within them but it hasn't been documented quite well as those mentioned above or maybe I haven't checked out other groups who may have a choreographer within them.
I can't say how much I appreciate you just searching up the pronounciation of the members names instead of always apologizing and such :D
One of the best guide made by dedicated InSomnia...:D
Yass been waiting for this! Enjoyed your reaction, and also love it when you immediately look up the correct pronunciation of their names 😍
Not sure if you’re prefer to explore their music or want to see more of their personalities first, but if you do want the later, heres a recommendation.
You can check out This is…. Series by Insomnicsy channel. They’re really fun, dorky crackheads 😂
There are two seasons for that series, 7 episodes for each season for each member. Here you go
This is… 2020:
th-cam.com/play/PLTeXsqL7jUNE0tpv4x6mbslIXFusZYWaO.html
This is… 2021:
th-cam.com/play/PLTeXsqL7jUNHQepScKuqjJ3MS-IDH7QO1.html
It’s up to if You want react to each member separately or everything in one long video. We dont mind either way cause we just love seeing how people react to these weird, dorky girls 🤣
Thank you so much for the reaction!!
The former leader of 9Muses Ryu Sera has a channel, she has an exclusive interview with Dreamcatcher a few years ago, she reacted to one of their videos, then basically became the Insomnia president. Dami is her bias, it's so interesting to watch her reactions to DC videos.
Pixy is a rookie group that debuted last year, pretty much everyone who loves DC, loves Pixy. They also have a dark concept, and some incredibly talented girls (one who is also named Sua). I would recommend you check out the Bewitched MV, I'm pretty sure you will be obsessed with it, like everyone else was.
Everyone else already recommended the "This is..." series, but basically anything on Insomniscy channel. Nice to see others recommended Mera's video (Dodging disbandment), it really has detailed info, and different perspective, and controversies listed.
OKAY LASTLY i recommend pixy!! They just debut last year with their debut song called Winx, they also have a dark concept and rock pop genre so if you like dreamcatcher you’ll also like pixy 😊, I recommend Winx, Addicted and Bewitched. again I love your videos!!
Dang it, after seeing this I had to go check out Pixy - Bewitched and it looks like they are pretty amazing, have to watch some more of them.
As many people already said: Insomnicsy channel is the best place.
Dreamcatcher girls even reacted to some of the compilations of Insomnicsy ,so it's DC approved :D
I mean this is not any shade to other groups, but yes in my opinion all Dreamcatcher members (yes including Dami) could be lead or main vocalists if they were in any other group.
All those "brain" clips of Dami (as well as a few other clips) were from different episodes of their reality show "Dreamcatcher Mind" btw, which is on their official channel, it's really fun.
I've known Dreamcatcher for a while and I've never really watched guides for myself but I watch a lot of reactions, and this was my first time seeing this particular guide, and I do think it's a really good one! I made sure to watch the rest of that guide after your footage cut out because I was interested what else it had to say. I especially love that they included the part about LGBTQ+ support, which I really love about DC. There's a 4 and a half minute video on their support of LGBTQ+ and more here that I've seen before and really liked th-cam.com/video/jX23dxe1akI/w-d-xo.html
I'm excited to be with you on your journey, Dreamcatcher really are amazing ^_^
It’s not entirely common, but there are a few girl groups out there with strong vocalists all throughout the group, a few would be;
- Mamamoo
- Red Velvet
- Purple Kiss
- JYPn (not their official name, they haven’t debuted yet but all the members were revealed through performance videos and they’re all great vocalists)
Agree with your list & I’d add WJSN & maybe even Fromis_9
@@davids12345100 I've yet to stan those groups, I havent "stan'd" Red Velvet yet, but I do know the member's names and like a few of their songs.
@@echodvc4543 that’s cool. WJSN in particular are considered vocal powerhouses. Of the 10 members currently active (the 3 Chinese members have been doing other stuff in china for a few years now) they have 3 are main vocalists, including Yeonjung, one of the main vocalists for I.O.I, 2 lead vocalists & the rest are all listed as vocalists, even their main rapper….all are very steady vocally.
Fromis_9 has multiple main & lead vocalists as well.
Oh My Girl & Lovelyz aswell,
A lot of people have some great suggestions like the "This is..." series (all of them of course) and Dreamcatcher Mind. I'd also like to recommend the "Dodging disbandment and other extreme sports a history of dreamcatcher" by mera. It's more like a chronology of the band and more of a view of them from an industry point of view but mera is a great narrator and really lays out just how lucky we are to have Dreamcatcher still around and goes over a lot of trials they faced as a group.
I love your reaction,I started my journey with dreamcatcher in 2020 after watching *scream mv* recommended by an army friend
Now I love them ,they are my ult girl group
Am so happy you're giving them a chance
My bias is Siyeon and Sua,wrecker basically every other member
their choreos, keep in mind that no one (even bgs) have covered their dances yet they covered ate, not, bts and more even if bg songs are "harder". their energy is insane!
Their solo projects and covers are irresistible..
i do not know when the Legend Began ,
but i Know the Legend has No End .
They are the Legendary Dreamcatcher
🔥⚡🌙✨👑🌹⏳❤☀❄
Again! I love your reaction! And as always, you're so beautifuuuul. Love your hair so much 😍
Thank you so much! 🥰
Yay! More Dreamcatcher! 😃
Thanks for the reaction!!! Welcome to Insomnia. Hehe. Please do more dreamcatcher reaction.
Btw, Dreamcatcher light "stick" is actually a staff. And they also have a robe. 🤣
I hope u can react to their Nightmare Series starting with Chase Me.
Lol omg a staff and a robe I NEED
Will definitely check out the Nightmare series! 🙂
omg dreamcatcher i love themmmmmm thank you
This was really nice to watch. I like seeing people fall in love with Dreamcatcher :) thank you for liking them
Thank you for your reaction and for appreciating Dreamcatcher. If You want to see interactions between them, you must watch their own reality show called Dreamcatchers Mind. In terms of music, you can check Deja Vu. it is a masterpiece and all the b-sides. And of course, you might take the DC Journey that consist in reacting to all the MVs and special clips to the day, the next comeback should be soon, so you would get in the mood hahaha.
About what you said about vocals in GGs. Not that commonto have the vocal quality in all the members as DC have. Very few GGS have 7 main everything
Many mentioned insomnicsy's videos and I can only agree with it. She has all types of content (funny compilations, introductions, chemistry between the girls, some vlive translations etc). I would say you can choose any of her videos and have a fun time.
I love Dreamcatcher because they remind me of Mamamoo. Both groups have overflowing natural talent and are the most beagle/crackhead idols.
I looooove dreamcatcher, I'm happy that you enjoyed the guide and the girls' talent/personalities.
(in fact I'm a multi, an army-moomoo-insomnia-moa-carat-once. I get your yoongi/dami thing, and, for reference, for me it's hobi/gahyeon-sua. yeah, I'm pretty much a sunshine biased person.)
Dreamcatcher is my top favorite K-pop group ! I think you must check their B sides. You must be shocked. 😉 Thanks. From N.Y.
As far as overall group vocals go, I'd say (and this is kinda widely accepted across most fandoms) Mamamoo and DC are the vocal powerhouses of kpop GG (def top tier in kpop and just music as general), however despite Mamamoo's insane vocal abilities, I'd still have to give DC the best allrounder card with 7 amazing vocalists, 7 rappers, 7 dancers, 7 great and unarguably lovable personalities (idc bout visuals when it comes to credibility so I'm not counting it, however that's an obvious one), you can really just take any one member throw them into any role and they'd do amazing (except for maybe.. leader, god bless jiu we've seen what it can be like without her.. but alas they can not be tamed, for we've also seen the chaos ensued with her there as well xD)
That being said of course other groups have great vocalists too, but it's rare for an entire group of powerhouses like MMM and DC (special shoutout to (g)-idle (ot6) and Redvelvet, i may not have seen too many other groups, but from what I've seen here and there those 4 groups are, skill-wise, top of the line) (obviously personal opinions so please keep it calm if y'all bouta reply)
As far as funny videos/compilations anything by insomnicsy is a good choice! Also if you're interested in seeing more dynamics between the members insomnicsy has a "chemistry series" as well :D hmm other than that you could watch "Dreamcatcher once said" or "Dreamcatcher being iconic" Oh I also like the users "Deuxae" and "minjiphinx" and there are other funny compilations out there but yeah most somnies reccomended kit aka insomnicsy bc their vids are always so good, and they update regularly, they really carry the international fandom haha
As far as music it would be cool to see you go through the rest of their title tracks, or even do an album listen, I recommend listening to one of their albums in full (maybe their first, and currently only, full album "The Tree of Language") so you can see how even though they are the queens of rock they also have other genres and styles up their sleeves 😀
These girls just rocked our world damn!!
Handong is the strongest one and it really shows
I would highly recomend watching Insomnicsy's 'This is...' series. It lets you get to know their personalities way better 🥰
It has Two Seasons 'This is *insert members name* 2020' and '2021'. I would suggest watching both per member, they are short but you will not regret it 🥰🥰🥰
THANK SO MUCH FOR CHECKING OUT DREAMCATCHER!! They are really an amazing, interesting and talented group. Oh and I recommend ONF (pronounced as and short for on and off) ONF is a South Korean boy group formed and managed by WM Entertainment. Originally debuting as a seven-piece group on August 3, 2017 with their EP, the group is now composed of six members: Hyojin, E-Tion, J-Us, Wyatt, MK and U. I recommend their song We must love, Why, beautiful beautiful and pooping to see just a snippet of their discography. Btw i love your videos!!
JiU is the prettiest face among female idols of 2021
omg hehyyy thank you so much for this reaction & getting into dreamcatcher!!
Can't wait for u to reaction "This is .... " Series.
Ofc I c Dreamcatcher and I like. ❤️
I love all of them so much but Dani has a special place in my heart♥️😍
Dami *
i saw many recommending "this is..." series so i would love to recommend "Dodging Disbandment and Other Extreme Sports: A History of Dreamcatcher" by Mera it gives full insight what they went through be were they are right now so its highly recommend and loved your reaction! looking forward to more of it!! thank you~
Yaaayyy Dreamcatcher 💜💜
Thank you so much for reacting to them. It was funny ♡
Dami is also good vocalist. Unfortunately, this isn't shown in this video. I recommend you to listen or to react to her song with Siyeon "Shadow" (slowed version). You will be impressed.
jazz bar and whistle is her best 'technique' wise tho. they also didn't showcase siyeon actual serious rap, and handong jiu rap. probably cause their computer will crash with so many clip to download lmao
They debuted on January, Friday the 13th, with a horror concept.
Hiii, I was just about to go to bed hahahaha glad I didn’t!
Lol omg hope you still got to bed at a decent time I'm so sorry 😫
time for some b-sides!!!!!!!
Red Sun is probably my favorite Dreamcatcher song and it's actually the one I show people before anything else because the entire feel and meaning of the song is just so perfect. I figure if I can hook them with a b-side as strong as that the rest of the discography will completely enthrall them.
Subscribed cause of dreamcatcher!
The best video DREAMCATCHER💘💘💘👍👍
When you finish with dreamcatcher another girl group to react to is (G)-idle, they also have unique concepts and the leader even wrote an created some of the concepts
My queens of dark kpop rock😊❤
in 2014 a new Light arrived in this World 🌏 " MINX " ,
but this Light was sent into Darkness and Shadow.
Then a Flame 🔥came out of Darkness and Shadow ,
This Flame 🔥 brought Both Light and Warmth to the World 🌏 for All Time ⏳ ,
They are Dreamcatcher 🔥⚡
3:05 it's pronunced Queen
😂😂
Dreamcatcher: where the "normal one" is twice as weird as other groups' weird one. Kpop groups in general are performance oriented, in most the vocals take a back seat to visuals, dancing, even the fashion. It seems like hard work to get so many clips of (mostly) live singing for the video, it's uncommon. Dreamcatcher is an exception to the rule where they can ALL sing. Mamamoo is the top vocal group in the last decade of kpop, a lot of their popular songs can't be covered because you'd have to get a bunch of groups' main vocalists together. Red Velvet is up at the top vocal tier, and Bvndit showed a lot of promise but have been quiet a long time.
The best jump in "odd eye" belongs to JiU, I was very sad that it wasn't included...
to Celebrate Handong Return they are Making Their Signature Super Fun SELF MADE Music Video POISON LOVE Highly Recomended! and The Only Group that Make this Kinda MV.... and They Have 4. On this MV All the members are Fall in Love with Handong including Herself.
Other Self Made MV : SAHARA, BREAK THE WALL,
JULY 7th(Show Champ Backstage Version)
CURS OF THE SPIDER(This one Have No Official on Yontnbe Only from Fancam)
I'm so glad they went away from the "standard" cute concepts because tbh, I can't stomach it very well. I've never really been the super "girly" type, so that's why I often have a hard time getting into girl groups. The only girl groups I have ever stanned are Mamamoo and Purple Kiss (and Dreamcatcher eventually). The mature pop vibes that Mamamoo has and the rocky/metal vibes from Purple Kiss and Dreamcatcher are much more my style.
SEVENTEEN ALSO HAS A CHOREOGRAPHER IN THEIR GROUP!!!!!! Sorry, Hoshi is my ult wrecker, so I had to mention it. Hoshi is the main choreographer for most of Seventeen's performances. They are one of my 3 ult groups (Ateez, Seventeen, & BTS). Self-producing AND Self-choreographing.
17:44 SuA's screams I- what is wrong with her omg that is not a normal noise for a human to make 😂
Siyeon omg that Speechless cover 😍 Solar (the leader of Mamamoo) did a cover of Speechless too! They both have such powerful belting voices, it's my favorite thing!!!!! BUT WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE MAIN VOCALISTS THAT GET ME IN THE END????? It used to be the rappers, but ever since 'you know who' 😒🍎🐻, all the main vocalists have been coming for me 😩 And that short blonde hair- I stan 🔥❤️
Omg Dami has the same birthday as my dog 🤣 She has such a cool voice! Like Moonbyul, I just think deep voiced female rappers are so captivating. And the Suga comment- she does remind me of him too on first impression lol. My first ever ult bias 💜 but those main vocalists- I think I also have a type 😅 Can't wait for more of them! 💕
I've heard about Mamamoo, might be good to check out after Dreamcatcher!
I should also check out Seventeen too! 😛
SuA's screams cracked me up 😂
Yeah I think Siyeon is my bias wrecker!! Her voice is a m a z i ng
Glad you're joining me on my Dreamcatcher discovery! 😄
i also recommend the girl group g-idle, they’re a very young but very talented group!
True dami like suga
Next, "This is..." series from insomnicsy. Well, maybe every InSomnias should know who she (insomnicsy) is (>_
thank you
Today/tomorrow, depending on where you live, is Gahyeon’s birthday (February 3rd)
Oooh then happy belated birthday to Gahyeon!! 🙂
ahhhh i love it
What about the iconic clip of Sua and Siyeon by mistake kissing while playing that game on live TV
Yeah, insomnicys channel for personality compilations. th-cam.com/users/insomnicsy%EC%9D%B8%EC%8D%B8%EB%8B%89%EC%94%A8
You can basically pick anything randomly. She is the best editor I've seen anywhere on YT. Her channel is focused on the funny side of Dreamcatcher. If you want a more serious look at them then watch the interview series their company made called Between Dreamcatcher and Me th-cam.com/play/PLmNaKWy1cIoEbPBSZdxbBix6Ai_XQX_j-.html (Warning: Gahyeon cries a lot)
For their music you can follow the timeline in the guide for the title tracks or you can go album by album. Each album also usually has MV's of some of the B-sides that they call special clips. These are made by Dreamcatcher company with a minimal budget unlike the title tracks which are made by an outside audio-visual company. Their special video playlist is here th-cam.com/play/PLmNaKWy1cIoFv6GU6_CYSFfOckbw_C1hi.html
They also have made several parody vids of their own songs. No other Kpop group does that. Most of their videos are on the official Dreamcatcher channel and can be safely uploaded. Stage performances they've done for Korean broadcasters like Mnet, SBS, KBS on their music shows may be blocked. There's much more but way too much to list here. Enjoy.
Thanks so much for the recommendations! 🙂
"This is..." series for the next Dreamcatcher content by "insomnicsy"
1 video for 1 member
Check 2020 and then 2021 series
You should watch their show, dreamcatcher mind. It's so funny.
IMO: the best thing about Handong is her cute little hop when she's excited. th-cam.com/video/I2VSN42beH0/w-d-xo.html
I can't wait until they tour again!
They would be so great to see in concert!!
This guide contains too many spoilers. But don't worry. This guide video did not show all the good songs of Dreamcatcher.
I won't consider a few second snippet as a spoilers..it's more like a preview...it's good that this guide didn't show too much of their song..so that everyone that watch the guide can explore by themselves...besides, they can always ask for InSomnia's help about which song they should check out next...
Trust me I've already completely forgotten the snippets of music that I watched 😂 it's ok!
easy mistake to make, but I wouldn't say that handong was "stuck" in Wuhan per say. Yeah that's where Covid originated so it sounds bad, but that's just where her family is from, so she was just at home for a while
i think dami write more than producing, while jiu tend to produce more
You Should Watch DREAMCATCHER MIND! Before (I Hope) they Release the 2nd Seasom this Year!
If you Really Like Dami you Should wæㅜcㅐ her Duet w Siyeon SHADOW (Ost. Drama) I Recomend the Slow Version
Video of Their Complete History Since 2014 on Ch. 'mera'
And then their Self Made Parody Drama 'World of Marriage'
I would highly recommend the video by Mera called "Dodging Disbandment and Other Extreme Sports: A History of Dreamcatcher" as it really delves into the band's history as Minx, and the struggles the group has had after returning as Dreamcatcher. It's really well done and worth the half hour to watch it. I always recommend it to new fans of Dreamcatcher. The video is about two years old, so it doesn't cover more recent history of the group.
th-cam.com/video/YIgCAp3i1os/w-d-xo.html
Yo, both Suga and Dami are Pisces lol
