(Tong Tong TV Interview) Rookie band Dreamcatcher debuts with spooky concept
Ойын-сауық
South Korean girl group Dreamcatcher on Sunday explained the reasons behind choosing a creepy horror concept for its debut album "Nightmare" at an exclusive interview with Yonhap News Agency's online entertainment news channel Tong Tong TV.
"In order to distinguish ourselves in the fiercely competitive market, we went a different direction from the other K-pop girl groups and utilized a creepy theme, where each one of us represents a different nightmare," the members said during the interview. In the horror-inspired music video of the lead song "Chase Me," the newest rookie band members appear in all-black attire at an eerie hotel with dark, moody lighting, posing a sharp contrast to the happy and light-hearted debuts girl groups usually do.
The story unravels at a haunted hotel where a man comes to spend the night. As soon as the man falls asleep, the evil forces living in the hotel, played by the seven-member act, take turns playing with the man's mind, making him dream seven different nightmares. The girls delight in seeing the man suffer, but soon find out that the man is actually a spirit hunter who is trying to get rid of them.
In addition to the unusual concept and story of the video, the music itself has also garnered much attention due to its fast tempo and hard rock instrumentals backing the song, evaluated as an interesting contrast in light of the visuals.
The group's completely different image turned out to be a phenomenal success with the music video of the lead song hitting 700,000 views on KZread four days after it was released on Jan. 13.
Dreamcatcher is comprised of members JiU, SuA, Siyeon, Yoohyeon, Dami, Handong and Gahyeon. The group, originally formed under the name Minx in 2014, announced last year that it would re-debut with two new members under the name Dreamcatcher to better match with its new concept.

I really hope they get recognized and become popular soon too. It would be great to win a few awards too whether it's rookie award or best dance.

1st K-pop girl group to be #1 on Billboards Next Big Sound Chart (03/01/2021) without a 1st win. 💖🎸🥰🤘😎
It’s so interesting looking at them at the start of their DC journey, with no idea what was to be in store for them, the long, not exactly smooth but fruitful journey they would undertake.
This hits different now 😭 Girls you came very far and even made to #1 on billboard sounds charts and are the first K-pop group ever to join Primavera concert with other huge western artist... We are still yet to crack the first win but we will not give up! The comeback will be here soon so fighting InSomnias! We will work more hard! Thank you for your efforts girls 💜💜
Looking at baby dreamcatcher now makes me so proud of how far they've come, best girls
*dreamcatcher talking about minx* "without minx there will be no dreamcatcher"
That's not 2x speed you know! that's 4x speed! Dreamcatcher is monster rookie you know..please give them much love! proud Dreamcatcher's fan here.. :)
They've always been working hard from the start Proud of them ✊✊

Our precious girls worked so hard from the very start,,, I'm crying huhuhu I'm sad because I only knew them this year (where have I been?!) but don't worry I will keep supporting Dreamcatcher forever!!! InSomnias love our Deukae so much!!!!
Props to Happyface for having the courage and wisdom to reforge Minx into Dreamcatcher. While I loved "Why Did You Come To My Home" (made me happy to hear the HF logo sound), they were on pace to be Dal Shabet 2.0 and be lost in a sea of cutesy, colorful groups. Now as DC, they can stand out and finally have their talents recognized. ;)
I'm already an insomnia, I've been a fan and been searching a lot of their history this past few months...Siyeon got my attention, tbh she's the reason why I found this pretty and very talented kpop Group. I'm so obsessed with Dreamcatcher huhuhu...I came from the Philippines anyway. I love you all, mostly to my bias Siyeonnie~~ She's also the reason why I became a kpop fan for the very first time. I don't know why, I'm always attracted and amazed by her, they're also funny, I love them..

Same as me ... Dreamcatcher /siyeon is my ultimate Stan ,bias
I'm so late af, just discovered this interview... First, i already became Dreamcatcher fans since good night released.... Second, Now, that they released You and I on May, 10th, i feel like i want to know their history.... so i search up bunch of old articles.. Third, my tears are flowing, 😭😭😭 they're hardworker 😭😭 Dreamcatcher, my rockish little sisters, wish you luck and all the best 😭😭🙋🙋
That was a great segment + interview! I hope you guys in TongTongTV keep doing what you do!
am i the only one that never gets over Siyeons comma bangs...
I'm here from 2022 and Dreamcatcher is one of the biggest kpop girl groups now. I'm so happy
Dami with untied hair that long is just awesome
They were such babies here and Yoohyeon's English improves so much she sounds native.
The biggest and most amazing surprise at a concert would be dreamcatcher performing minx songs as a special stage. I swear I’d lose my shit if they did love shake 😭😭
Wow, TongTongTV, I hope you'll keep doing these kinds of segments wether with Dreamcatcher or with other groups because you'll get a lot of attention! ^^
And now they do all their choreography 2x so smooth that you won't notice a thing. The girls work so hard for their performance, one day they will get the regconiton they deserve.
내년아니면 내후년에 이그룹은 대박납니다
I ship Dami and yoohyeon my biases 💖
Been an InSomnia since Scream era and only finding this interview after BEcause has just released. Words can't describe how proud I am of our seven amazing angels......they deserve all the success in the world!!!!
I am not insomnia but here I am 3 to 4 years in the future posting this comment on their past video.

I hope they win a dance award! It's too soon to talk about a rookie one because it's january but they have the potential to. And I'm happy that dreamcatcher is getting atenttion and love, they are very talented♡ Also, JiU talks very good, she didn't seem nervous or something (she is the leader tho) I'm waiting to see more of them, like she said, a dream is unpredictable.
I voted so many times everyday for Dreamcatcher to win the Rookie award female category in MAMA but yeah there's Pristin (where most members are in Pd101).. well hey Dreamcatxher is still here gaining more and more fans every comeback... They never disappoint us InSomnias

Came here after 2win thanks tongtong to support our girls from the beginning.
It makes me emotional watching debut content like this, it really makes me appreciate how far the dreamies have come, and now we're celebrating 5 years with them and they're still growing and achieving a lot! Even though we're still chasing that 1st win there's still so much that they've done even without one! Like being one of the top 10 selling girl groups of 2021 😌 let's keep fighting towards more goals and achievements in the future!
their english are adorable...Yoohyeon can pronounce it quite well enough..Gahyeon got that Korean accent still xD
드림캐쳐 여러분들 앞으로도 힘내시고 악몽스토리 잘 이어가길 바랄께요
노래 짱좋... 이 컨셉 쭉쭉 밀고 나가줘요//
잘 컸다 우리 드캐!!😁
Good luck girls! I hope you can win rookie award 🙌🙌
AND YOU DID GIRLIES. YOU GOT YOUR FIRST WIN THIS YEAR FOR BOCA IN MALAYSIA AND ALL YOUR SOMNIACS ARE SO HAPPY FOR YALL ❤️❤️❤️
JIU IS SO CUTE
이정도로 하니 라이브하면서 빡센 군무를 추는거지...고생이 많다 꼭 대박나자 ㅠ
헐 저가 바로 그 파워유니크 쓴 사람이예요ㅠㅠ 제 댓글 읽어주셔서 감사합니다^^
I'm rooting for Dream catcher this year and i know a lot of people are as well. I can't wait for them to blow up because they're really amazing. and in a kpop world saturated with a lot of cute concepts, i was drawn to this one a whole lot.
go dreamcatcher! rise! for a new fan. watch (fly high, chase me, goodnight-related story within each songs). check out their dance practice/comeback stage too! its hard and beautiful. and dont forget to listen to side tracks like "its okay", lullaby, emotion, wake up, etc. they also queen of covers (songs and dance)- for eg. bruno mars song, winner-really really song,
놀랍고 너무나 멋진 변신!! 그러나, 대한민국이 이들을 품기에 너무나 작은 나라였음.. 해외에서 대박나고 헐헐 날아가길~~
Dami with long hair, didn't realize it has her.
드림캐쳐 파이팅!!! 연말가요제, 연말시상식 올라가요!!
Newest Comment. Odd Eye is a beast. Will forever love all seven.
sua in the end ohoooo
그렇게 유명하지 않던 밍스시절부터 현재의 드림캐쳐까지 매번 모두 열심히 하니 해외에서 먼저 알아봐주네 이제 국내도 점점 유명해져서 시상식 쓸어버리러 가자~~~
I hope they do really well, they deserve it and I'm happy they're getting a lot of positive feedback so far
간절하면 이루어진다!!!!!
My babies are the cutest!!!! ♥
Love ❤❤❤
I'm still here
Coming back to this now that it's been 7 years since their debut. I'm so proud of how far they've come ❤
I will always stan you girls. I hope they are going to win awards, will be popular. By the way i really like idea of having different concepts. they are artists and have to try different concepts to find their voice. Fighting Dreamcatcher!❤
In 2022 they got their first win, congrats Dreamcatcher!
hahahaha . i don't understand what they are saying but i smile and laugh so hard at whole video 😂 . they are so funny 😂😂😂 . sua dance at the end is no joking 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Love when they speaking english lol and thank you for the interview tongtongtv👏 and I really love how these girls really confident and pulled of nightmare concept so well❤️. It didnt feel forced or cringey.. Hope they embrace it even more in the future💕
Hope to see them on Weekly Idol doing the 2x speed!
Since not much people are talking about it, I'll just say it...Yoohyun's English is soooo good~ That was so unexpected XD
i hope they keep it up and get their name big real soon. they got sk much talent and they looks bright and cute ;;
Shook by Yoohyeons english goodbye
2배속 댄스 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 이런 인터뷰 참신하네 ㅋㅋㅋ
노래 약간 제이팝 같은데 신선하다 뭔가 예사롭지 않은 신인 그룹이다.
They're so cute! I love their concept so much and can't wait to see more of them!! Especially Handong, she's so gorgeoussss and adorable
I love Jiu's eye colour!!
They are awesome.
OMG! I love them, I will support them forever. Lots of love from Mexico!
3:57 Nearly teared up. I can see Ms. Minji's and Ms. Yoohyeon's passion and love on their eyes. I'm glad that they became the DC that we all love now.
people were not ready for dreamcatcher; and till now they are still deaf and blind to not recognise these queens.
i'm so proud of u girls!!! being here after 3 years and seeing all the things that the girls did and received, make me so proud of them. i really miss u guys here in brazil 💖
is lami naturally quiet and shy? I didn't expect that in her when I saw her oozing with powerful charisma performing on stage

Support them since chase me. But i only find this video just now. I'm very proud of them, theh really have gone so far 😁👍
Man, watching this now sure is something.
밝지않은게 더 좋은듯
Well well well….
2020 y las bebés siguen creciendo exitosamente, las amo, en Perú las amamos!!!
컨셉을 잘 잡은 거 같아요. 다른 컨셉의 걸그룹해보고 그걸 바탕으로 재탄생한 그룹이기 때문에 기본기가 탄탄하고 기존 신인그룹과는 다른 퀄리티를 내뿜는 팀이 될 거예요. 회사도 멤버들의 성공을 위해 열일하시는 것 같습니다. 화이팅~
레전드의 시작~ 근데 시연이 앞머리는 왜 그러니? ㅎㅎ
They read comments!!! Oh I should have leave one too😥😥😥
MIss the cute happy Dami
한동이 ㄱㅇㅇ
i think JiU kinda looks like Solar in debut era :D
