I'm just a new somnie but it feels like I watched them grow as a legendary group. I'm so proud of theeem 🥺💜 Thank you for the video insomnicsy,you're always be the best! 🤗💜

[@NikkiGTA416]

I really admire Sua's trainee story. She left her family and friends when she was 19yo to live alone in the city and follow her dreams. That must've been hard for someone so young but she has always struck me as a strong and confident woman. I really admire her for that. Anyway, thanks for this video. We appreciate you.

You say that but she wouldn't hesitate if her members were in danger. It's often the people who are almost always happy who you should be the most scared of if they ever get properly angry.

[@yuck113]

It's really amazing how they started out as shy teenagers and people who merely work together into this warm accepting family that is now so mature and loving. I'm thankful that they met each other and now we have this wonderful team

never forget that gahyeon almost signed to a big 3 company but dcc (happy face at the time) told her she could debut quicker and here we r :)

You know after watching fan footage from their Friday's concert and then this. They've definitely came a long way since their trainee days. None of the members probably didn't think they will be as successful as they are now. Very interesting to hear their trainee stories from back then. Again, thank you for the edits Kit. 😊🙌👍

[@muhamadarif1498]

i'm really glad she didn't sign with MBK..huhu..a company that threw away a big GG T-ara down the drain..

[@WJen8]

The fact that Siyeon was genuinely scared so JiU, our sweet fake maknae JiU, pulled up with a knife is the wildest thing ever 😂💕

[@maeve898]

I cracked at the part when Gahyeon and Handong asked Yoohyeon to eat with her and she refused 😭😭😭 Also jiu apparently was a really sensitive trainee 😭 Siyeon and her horror story feat Dami and Yoohyeon And then we have Queen Sua no wonder she is the ace girl trained for 5 years!!!

[@moonchild.archive]

One thing I caught from this video is that Dreamcatcher is in a very kind agency that really takes care of its trainees. I love how their manager unnie would accompany them home late at night, because it could be dangerous. Or how the manager acknowledges that they are struggling and need a break so they take them out for a walk. They may have rules for dieting like any agency in general, but after DC debuted, they seemed so free to eat whatever they wanted and I'm happy for that.

[@zeynkim]

Why my tears is showing while watching? The timing of Deukae trainee days and their 2nd World Tour just happened recently! Deukae hardwork is really unmatched.. they really inspired me to not give up! Yeah I Stan the right group!

[@wheeinshair5415]

Wow Siyeon almost kidnapped as a child and ghost picking up calls for her. What other stories that we didn't get to hear?

[@thztan7492]

I think she almost drown as well when she's young. Thats why she afraid of water --> i think she told the story during Chase Me era in 1radio show

They r such a great role model for a reason. They've been through a lot a lot and deserve all the succes. I really wish i discover them sooner and not just 2 months ago, but i make a promise to continue supporting them from now on

8:47 thank goodness that she left. Mbk ent one of bad management toward female group .. which DIA also T-ARA. Yoohyeon could have been in DIA if she didn't leave. Even though they have the legendary group T-ARA (one of my fav 2nd gg) but still...the management...hm their reputation went down :'(

[@mrjackpots1326]

I'd love to see their audition videos, but I'd really like to know how Yoohyeon got to Happyface since there are so many small agencies like it. Some agencies are so toxic they can destroy your life. Yoohyeon is very smart to see it right away.

[@thesage6721]

I love this trainee part story wish could heard more of it.

[@stantalentonly5246]

Dreamcatcher's training period allowed them to learn a lot of things not only abt their members but also abt what life they'll chose. Just look at how they grown so much as not only talented ladies but also the loveliest ones. All hardships are all paid off,so proud of them 💜

[@archvileppv]

I am amazed at the level of shyness of Yoohyeon at that time.. It's as if I've never had such problems communicating with people I don't know, but I can't even imagine how I could force myself to go to work in the field of entertainment, which implies public speaking, on a contract basis with almost complete separation from ordinary life.. Lord, thank you Yoohyeon, that you were able to decide on this and overcome your fear! And now we see you as a top-level idol being one of the most beautiful people in this world both outside and inside.. Thank you for that! 😭

[@zeynkim]

Dreamcatcher is family indeed!

[@kafan439]

This is such a great compilation of new clips I hadn't seen. I love hearing the trainee stories. I'm so glad Yoohyeon didn't stay at MBK, another of my fave groups , DIA is there, or was , hard to tell if they're still together. It's a tough place to be under contract. But they have come so far and are such a loving family and enjoying such a great year. They deserve it after all the hard work.

[@Helloo298]

This really is motivational. Am also thinking about becoming a performer, but thinking about how I'll get there and if it's the right things gets me so anxious. Knowing their history though, helps me prepare for anything and keep trying.

I think during trainee days there was a time when they lived together or went back to their family

[@yuukinol.6091]

They mean in their trainee days. Like JiU and Siyeon started living together 1st than the others so they will often say "when we were living together" to refer of their time alone

[@hara2009]

I always wondered why is JiU the leader when SuA trained double period of time and she is the same age.... ? Anyone.... ?

[@angelicasanchez5992]

JiU is 3 months older than SuA, maybe that's the reason, in Korea the age is really important I think.

[@yuukinol.6091]

JiU is older than SuA plus she have been in the company(DCC) since the start which helped the manager see JiU skills as a leader since the start

[@hara2009]
