Dreamcatcher, the 7-member girl group who have been attracting a lot of attention with their Japanese album, ‘The Beginning Of The End’, as well as their new Korean track, 'Deja Vu’. Though they look cool performing on stage, we get up close and personal with the surprising private life of the girls.♥

They debuted on January 2017, featuring the “Nightmare” concept. Their charm comes from the use of intense metal sounds, as well as their powerful performances, rare for a Korean girl group♥ They’ve drawn interest as they were active not only in Japan and Korea, but all over the world, visiting Europe and South America in their world tour!

The day before important schedules, I make sure to put a pack on before I sleep.

I often wear oversized clothes. I like Jerseys so I have a lot of them in multiple colors. I also like fancy floral patterns♥

Q. Is there something you focus on when doing makeup yourself?

It’s my lips. I like the calmer colors, but in summer, I’ll use brighter colors as well.

Q. What is your morning and evening skin care routine?

I use two types of toners, and I care a lot about them. One of them helps control the oils in my skin, and the other is for adding moisture!

My cheeks! My complexion looks better just by applying cheek makeup, so even when I go without makeup otherwise, I make sure to apply cheek makeup.

I apply toner multiple times. It’s called the "7 skin method”. Applying toner multiple times over is supposed to be good for your skin, and it’s been popular among beauty Youtubers. But since I’m lazy, I only do it twice. (laugh)

Voice 01

What is Dreamcatcher’s unique charm?

JIU: “Dreamcatcher” is a name that was chosen to give people listening to our songs the sense that they’re “in a good dream”. So members were each assigned different nightmare concepts since our debut. That concept is reflected in the story of our music videos and in our album jackets!

Voice 02

Is there a point that you’d like us to pay attention to in “Breaking Out, the lead track of your 1st album, released in September?

Siyeon: The lyrics towards the end of the track goes "Bye bye to the nightmare now”. To us, this album is “the beginning of the end”. We’ve promoted under the nightmare concept until now, and this promotion closes that out. So I feel like those lyrics are the focal point of the song.

Voice 03

Was there a story you wanted to share with us about filming the “Breaking Out” MV?

Yoohyeon: There was a scene where Handong and I had to act while gazing at each other. We really struggled to not laugh. (Laugh) Still, we managed to pull it off in the end, so that was a relief.

Sua: I had an individual shoot where I had to be on a flaming swing. I was really surprised when real sparks fell from above. I also had really high heeled shoes on, so I couldn’t jump off if something happened. The staff kept saying “don’t raise your face” as I filmed the scene.

JIU: A big fly kept bothering me while I was trying to act, which was bothersome… We were filming at a studio deep in the mountains, and there were a ton of bugs.(cry)

Voice 04

The showcase in September was also a big hit. You’ve already held multiple shows in Japan now. Compared to your first time in Japan, has something changed?

Siyeon: Every time we hold promotions for songs or concerts, the number of InSomnias who come to see us seem to increase. Whenever I notice that, I feel really happy, and feel like I’ll be able to work even harder.

Dami: At first, I was really hung up on memorizing Japanese. Now, I’m able to focus more on presenting a perfect performance.

Voice 05

Europe, South America, you’re holding shows all over the world. Is there something you found memorable about the cultural differences, or the fans’ reactions?

Gahyeon: In Europe and South America, the passion is palpable even before the concert starts. Before concerts, our songs play within the venue. Our fans will sing along to that, or dance to it. Then, when the concert starts, they cheer for us even more energetically. I thought they were incredibly passionate.

Voice 06

Tell us something unexpected about the members, that the fans wouldn’t know!

Handong: I shared a hotel room with Yoohyeon during our Japanese schedules once. I looked at her suitcase, and it was almost empty. It seemed like she mistook the length of our stay. She didn’t have any clothes to wear, so during our stay in Japan, she was making do with our Live merch T-shirts and things like that. (Laugh)
