[@dannyinsomnia7764]

Jiu said something like Koreans watch scary movies and stuff to give them chills in the summer. If you listen to the rest of the album, it's definitely a summer special album where you can hear that they explored different sounds.

[@Awakening_Sunshine]

Yeah it’s really common for Korean (and Japanese) people to watch scary movies or go to haunted houses in the summer

[@XxwalaweixX]

Agreed, I noticed her expression became more prevelant since Scream

[@singbin]

@@NoxNovak same, her face expression is just on point!

[@lunarialoonatic]

She’s improved so much from getting small lines in the beginning to small rap parts to slaying us with vocals, now both? Hells yeah all rounder Gahyeon

[@Adawing]

I think someone said JiU is actually the real bad guy, and she's "capturing" Gahyeon. At first we think Gahyeon is the bad one because of the "mirror" scene at the beginning, when she's trying to strangle JiU, but I think she was just trying to get rid of her. But JiU won in the end, hence the creepy smile, and Gahyeon sitting next to her in the center 🤔 I loved this song and MV !

[@birchlawpa]

My thought also.

[@Lucas-yd6ki]

Dreamcatcher said that their choreographer was inspired by US so the beginning with Jiu and Gahyeon mirrored is actually doppelgangers, Gahyeon does a scissor motion at some point and then at the end, Gahyeon does that creepy hand gesture that Lupita Nyong'o does (tapping on your cheeks while smiling)

[@squickicka]

Omg! I never noticed that the hand gesture is such a direct reference!!

[@daphdad]

they are holding up scissor hands in the very beginning of the choreo (where they are in a line) and are holding scissor hands behind their back during the bridge (handong's part)

[@Brickerbrack]

There's also, of course the abandoned fairground (Yongma Land, just outside Seoul, which closed ten years ago, and is now exclusively rented out for about $10 a day for photoshoots etc). And the bit at the beginning where they're holding hands references the "Hands Across America" bit, and where the Shadows form the human barrier...

[@ForestSen]

They also tilt their heads to the side during the chorus like the little boy from Us and during JiUs part in the second verse the 3 off to the side hold hands in a line formation as well.

[@gbarr999]

The fact that PD got the ‘US’ references that quickly proves there’s no other filmmaker like them 😆 Truly love this comeback; just enough creepy & rock elements for me! One of my fav title tracks

[@pinklemonaze9982]

Incredible comeback imo. Dreamcatcher do a fantastic job of melding classic k-pop musical tropes (EDM, orchestral, tropical) with their signature pop-rock sound. The chorus may feel slight at first but during it's final run, the additional instruments kicking in adds more weight and support. The bridge is one of the most incredible kpop bridges I have ever heard and is one of Dreamcatcher's best along with You & I and Scream. The haunting melody, the chilling talking by Sua, Siyeon's soft voice, and the hollow instrumental. I am literally obsessed. It sounds like it could be on the soundtrack for Coraline or something like that. 10/10 comeback!!!

[@armeenaa]

YESS CORALINE

[@cancan460]

What I actually love about Siyeon & Handong's bridge part is the note choice! Instead of going for a full-on minor sound, they made one of the notes major (In Siyeon's bit, the 소 'so' in 목소리가 'mogsoliga'), which makes the part sound so much prettier in my opinion. I got goosebumps when I heard that note for the first time, and it's very heads-up songwriting to add this weirdly hopeful flavour when Siyeon mentions that her 'other voice will call for you'

[@ramon7741]

@@cancan460 and the chords of the strings on Sua's bridge part sound augmented or diminished, which really gave it a chilly and horror-ish vibe

Omg Whistle is so addictive

[@singbin]

Whistle is one of my favs from their summer holiday albums.

[@yaroyaro9533]

I noticed that in Gahyeon's part, "When you see me, smile for me, smile for me", it really matches her visual. It's like she says it sweetly on the first time, but then she says it again in a scary, demanding tone (with her frown). How cool and how creepy is that? 👀👀

[@ot7biasedmashups]

This mv is inspired by the movie US! In the choreo the Wear red while holding hands in a straight line. In addition to that they form scissors with their fingers and JIU is a mirror of Gahyeon but then she gets choked. And there's just similar shots as well, like in the second chorus when Gahyeon puts both hands on her cheeks. Or in the first chorus where Siyeon looks down and her reflection acts very feral.

[@StefV153]

[@RoseAllDayyy]

My interpretation of SuA’s lyrics are face turning blue for sadness, or literal blue after losing breath/choking. Either way, the lyrics are really creepy and unsettling!

[@XxwalaweixX]

Sua's lines "take away all the paint, before it's harden" could also implied blood

[@dreamywhales]

And eyes full of stars = eyes full of tears

[@rogeliomunoz8779]

I can literally remember you saying "omg that's Handong" during your Odd Eye reaction. Come on, PD 😂

[@megip7462]

i think someone proposed an idea that there are 3 pairs where one member is the original and the other is a 'copy' based on their hair colours (the only one without a copy is gahyeon). and the part where they sing 'your face is blue' i think has connection with the choreography. because when sua sings that, she motions with her hands towards the other members and they start 'choking' themselves with their hands. so i guess it could imply that the face is blue because they're gasping for air.

[@staywithmeow1742]

Yeah bcuz it's inspired by the movie US which has doppelganger concepts

[@megip7462]

@Skyler Keck that could also be true. tbh it's just someone's theory i saw. i can't really say what's correct or not because i haven't watched the movie lol

[@Brickerbrack]

@@megip7462 I'd recommend it. I hadn't actually seen it myself, but found it on Netflix last week. Did not regret. 😁

[@megip7462]

@@Brickerbrack i usually don't really watch horror films, but everything i've heard about the movie from others were positive things so i might even watch it. i'll definitely watch it as soon as possible ☺️

[@darukona7218]

@Skyler Keck You're right : JiU is Gahyeon "copy" (the mean side of her), also Magdalena is correct I think. Because the colors are like Ying Yang, the opposite. So SuA is white when Dami is black for example. The only trick is Siyeon (she's the only one without a colored thing on her face and she's on the chair also). Or maybe, JiU is the master of all of them and Siyeon is the "black side" of Gahyeon and she needs JiU to get Gahyeon trapped (so Siyeon is the dangerous part of gahyeon and JiU is only the one who makes it happen). Don't know ...

[@mrjackpots1326]

I took a screen shot of the chair and zoomed in on it. It looks like an old electric chair or torture chair since it has metal bands for wrists and ankles. If it's a throne it's a very creepy one. The company that makes their MV's (Sunny Visual) is noted in the industry for making videos that have a lot of fantasy elements. They've been with Dreamcatcher since Fly High and they just keep getting better at bringing Dreamcatcher's world to life. The imagery in the video suggests, through the concept of the doppleganger, the duality of human nature. This ties in perfectly with the Nightmare series which has the same central theme. Your face also turns blue when you're being strangled just as Gahyeon does to Jiu at the beginning of the choreo.

[@jst0511]

THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR

[@ot7biasedmashups]

I think we only saw JIU and Gahyeon run because their copies are the easiest to survive outside without getting caught. Handongs original version already died or got dragged away at least so she's just running around. But Jiu and Gahyeon might be the next ones to find their reflections. They don't have anything on their faces and look unnatural, like dolls (Siyeon also acts like a broken doll). So Jiu and Gahyeon are still trying to escape and not get caught by their bad copies. SUA on the other hand took the apple from the bad copy and after that we see all the members standing mirrored to their copies. But the one in the mirror doesn't have a mark on her face so I believe that SUA was the main character getting choked out in the beginning and getting her life stolen. Then she managed to break free, together with the copies of the other members and the hunt began.

[@ginoiminoi]

woahh this makes so much sense

[@musaviki783]

STAN DREAMCATCHER for good dreams and good songs. And let's get the girls the recognition they deserve which has been happening slowly since the Dystopia era, especially Odd Eye. Also DREAMCATCHER doing their take on a summer concept 🤭

[@sameerakhan7455]

Yeah. It started in Boca (My 2nd comeback with DC. First one being Rose Blue) but they're getting mainstream popular since Odd Eye. They used to only have 1 M/V with 20M vi3ws now they have a couple and 2-3 M/Vs with 40 mil vi3ws

[@halazbib]

Dreamcatcher are legends for being able to maintain their style and still coming up with bops kudos to Leez and ollounder and DCC. Dreamcatcher never disappoints

[@Brickerbrack]

Notice though, that the chair, I think, is an electric chair, and at the end, it's Gahyeon sitting in it after Siyeon moves aside. There's a strong implication that JiU is actually the main villain, running the hotel and capturing the other girls, and essentially making them her "dolls". From this perspective, it seems that Siyeon was probably her previous victim, and the "throne" was kind of a display plinth for her. Now JiU has Gahyeon, she's taken Siyeon's place as the new favourite plaything and centerpiece of the display... But yeah, you totally caught a lot of the Us references (which were absolutely deliberate; I actually watched it for the first time last week 😜 ), and also nice callout for Misery, which JiU referenced in one of their interviews, and is absolutely a good analogy for the song.

[@edvaedan9161]

Agreed

[@darukona7218]

my god, nicely said. I was wondering WHY Siyeon was the only one below before Gahyeon.

[@spiralwarrior6569]

Well, well, well. Hi there! Dreamcatcher are outdoing themselves here once again. Musically, the song is a fantastic journey. There actually are "cute" parts, but there also are parts where the guitars go full metal. The variations in BEcause remind me of their previous masterpiece, Deja Vu. The bridge with SuA's slow rap and Yoohyeon's adlibs is possibly the most beautiful one they have ever done. About the meaning: According to Dami, BEcause is about love becoming obsession. And also, this is a stand-alone story. They go back to their horror roots, which I really enjoy. They noted that if you look at "BE" as a written Chinese character "悲“, that would mean "sadness". So the song title would mean "The Cause of Sadness". And that would make the lyric "because I like you" to maybe mean "the cause of sadness is I like you". The video picks up on that. JiU seems to be the puppet master here (in my interpretation). She is the one trapping the other members and turning them into puppets, but Gahyeon tries to escape (as you can see by her throwing off the cage right in the beginning). It seems JiU catches her again though, "because she likes her". And I didn't even touch on the references to the movie "Us" yet, there is so much going on. The lyrics are even creepier. SuA sings: "Your face turns blue, blue. Your expression is like ocean view.", hinting at strangulation due to the one being obsessed taking things way, way too far. Dreamcatcher are clearly not afraid to tackle the difficult subjects, and they do it masterfully here - again. For me, this is more than just pop, it is art.

[@edvaedan9161]

Your interpretation is pretty much the same as mine. It is sometimes confusing if we are seeing the original or replaced member in various shots but in general it is about Replacement Jiu capturing the last original member, Gahyeon.

[@darukona7218]

for me it's not "because she likes her", but more like she's like her version who has an obsession and may be dangerous (so she takes over Gahyeon, Gahyeon loses and is trapped to be what JiU is). I don't know, this is how I see it >< PS : I like that they are not afraid to talk about these subjects too! PS 2 : I think this subject reminded me of Chase Me more than Deja Vu BUT the MV aesthetic is similar to Deja Vu too.

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

They named the title BEcause btw because they used the Chinese character (BE) which means sadness, so they wanted the title to mean the cause of sadness 😊

[@branblob]

The chinese character for sadness' (悲) actual pinyin is "bei" but i guess BEIcause would be weird 🤣 so it makes sense that they reduced it

[@julianagonzalez1392]

@@branblob Yes you're right, in Chinese is "bei", but in handja and Korean pronunciation it sounds "be" ☺️

[@osof3tos]

​@@julianagonzalez1392 To be more specific, "bei" is in Mandarin Chinese. Cantonese Chinese is similar, too. The character 悲 is pronounced differently depending on the regional vernacular, and interestingly in Min-nan/Hokkien Chinese it's also similar to "be". 😊

[@dianakr191]

Fun fact, the trolley that Yoohyeon is pushing in the beginning has the outfits that SuA and JiU have on while running away. So the beginning part is really the end and the time running out means it might be another person.

[@quietdistance8594]

I always took the face turning blue line to indicate a sense of strangulation which works on both a physical level and a metaphor level as the obsessive love is figuratively cutting you off from personal freedom and choice. Also loved the duality of the mv as it reminded me of a favorite literary line I read somewhere as it has the feeling "of having an itch scratched by a nail that is slightly too sharp".

[@reijavmanga]

Best MV and song of 2021 so far. The assembling of the song is amazing.

The first half of the chorus is nice and soft giving the feeling of leading u in in a loving way, then the second half just tells u that I love u and it gives the creepy feeling of them not letting you go, I love u so we are stuck forever. All in all this song is freaking awesome.

hmm, have you guys noticed the color grading on the park? go to the first post-chorus with Siyeon saying forever love, noticed that there are two sides, the first is blue and the second as red in the final chorus notice Gahyeon running away in that blue side of the mirror, idk if jiu as well, but i think that Gahyeon and Jiu were the ones trapped and their other self exchanged positions with them, thats why you see them on the first verse forshadowing that they are not the real "them"

[@oreos12345]

all of them have their own selves switched with their selves on the real world

[@SimplyCece24]

I love dreamcatcher music and they need to have a bigger recognition

[@m.s9972]

I also recommend rewatching the music video and look for blue/red colour schemes. The garden in the background has a blue or red colour (very obvious at the virst chorus with Siyeon, sitting on top of the cement culvert and then having camera pan down to another Siyeon who says 'forever mine, even all your breath' but this time, the garden behind Siyeon is coloured Red signifying that the lower Siyeon is the doppelganger)

[@Pollo.a.la.crema.]

Wow! I didn’t realize the complex concepts of the video. They really are the full package.

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

Gahyeon is the main protag in this and at the start when she removes the cage actually means she might have escaped, because she's wearing the same outfit and makeup as she was in the last scene. She managed to fool the other dopplegangers, same for JiU. They were the last to be in the middle of that room and could have been playing pretend, or JiU is the big bad boss who captured everyone in the first place and was chasing Gahyeon in that scene and looking panicked because she was escaping her. Gahyeon might have been the only one who was still herself. Plus, she's the only one to show any emotion here, but pretends around the others. It does take inspiration after the film "US", I think it might have been confirmed, but I can't remember.

[@FranDurstYeah]

The show you're thinking of where there's an underworld with everyones' doppelgangers living in it, that might be Twin Peaks

[@redlady4]

Personally I feel like this is Gahyeon's era simply because her facial expressions really embody that duality of innocent doll who loves you and obsessive doll who you better love back. Her expressions are always great but with this song especially.

[@rushi7312]

I agree with you... This is a dreamcatcher sound but very different... It's very hard for me to keep up with all the changes in style... But I still love'em

Yall went into great detail about just how deep the story of this video goes and those similar 'Us' tropes that were used.

[@ix_ix_]

The queens of “concepts and themes” plus they are all super pretty 😍

[@seranyte]

In reference of US, the blue represents the " original" (from the surface) and the red, the doppelganger from the basement! (that explain the cut with them dancing in blue on top and red on the bottom). There is so much in there! Gahyeon in the beginning is the one who wants to be free! She is the one that wants to be free from her obsession, but at the end, we can see that she is like a doll (dull under the influence of Jiu), she didn't surpassed her obsession and, as Jiu has the hourglass reseted, make an evil, the time has passed. This is a loop, where the originals (themself) fight to beat their obsession of their toxic love (doppelganger). We can also take note of how Siyeon is moving (like a broken doll as a doppelganger like in the movie), the beautiful staging and clues ( the presence of red and blue!). Sorry I can't express really well in English lol

[@xchocome9629]

I'm kind of amazed you didn't pick up on Jiu's facial expression at the start. I mean there's no right or wrong, but in my eyes all things point to Jiu being the leader of whatever is happening. Jiu and Gahyeon running imo, suggests Jiu is chasing Gayeon. Gahyeon at the start is trying to escape hence the cage, but the end result was Jiu catching her which is why it goes out with them two centred together. There's so many different perspectives for their MVs I love it. It's so fun listening and reading everyone's take on it.

I believe Jiu is the true villain, she is the concierge, she also doesn't change clothes at all throughout the mv like the rest of them, in the end she holds the sand clock as if she controls the time inside the hotel as well as around it on the hotel grounds and thats how she traps people in. Dami might be the one who corrupts the guests or she was the first one Jiu took so shes the strongest henchman as indicated by the black flower thing on her face since she's the only one with it. Yoohyeon is the second to be turned after so she her job is to guide people to the room where they are turned/switched since shes not as strong as Jiu and Dami. Sua the whole mv was lost in the hotel hallways and the imprisoned Sua with the mask was the one inside the mirror who gave free version of herself the apple in the end we see she was turned and now has the flower mark. Handong and Gahyeon are the fresh guests, Handong has her suspicions but in the end she let's herself fall asleep and be turned/switched/taken by Dami. Gahyeon has realized something was wrong and tries to escape so Jiu simulates how Gahyeon is feeling before she overtakes her body with evil. I don't really know how to incorporate Siyeon in the story, she might have been just a guest that ended up in that room. But like you say Siyeon, Gahyeon and Handong don't have the flower markings so it kinda makes me think of a different theory of Jiu kidnapping people and seeing if they are her doppelganger and Siyeon and Handong were her first choices until she met Gahyeon. Also the lines "blue, blue your face like the ocean view" and "forever mine your breathe forever mine" insinuate that the person is choking so their face is blue like the ocean view.

[@kianleepaulrosales4303]

I always thought that the lyric "Blue. Blue your face turns blue /Your face is like an ocean view (Blue)" was a reference to the other lyric of "Even all your breath / Forever mine" which ties into the extreme end of obsession "If I can't have you and you won't stay by my side, I will take your breath till you look blue". They are sad (BE) cause they kill the thing that they are obsessed with to keep it by their side.

[@manitojohnmichael2638]

Actually, jiu is the mastermind. Siyeon is the last one being captured by jiu thats why you can see her on the throne before. The only one that is not captured by jiu is gahyeon thats why in the one she eventually captured. All of them are actually the dopplegangers now excapt for gahyeon. Yiu can see that their dresses are different from the start and on the end. Jiu smile in the end because she now completed all of them.

*I was waiting patiently for this reaction-* And also- It doesn't seem like a 6 month wait (for the comeback) Since Dreamcatcher has been active and releasing content almost on a daily basis- They even have a variety show now hehe- The name for the dopplegangers in US are called *"Tattered/Tethered"* I believe-

[@NoxNovak]

@Chris R Might be

[@XxwalaweixX]

And now right after BEcause promotion ended, they keep delivering content

[@NoxNovak]

@@XxwalaweixX *MYSTERIOUS MANSION HAS ME SHOOK-*

[@XxwalaweixX]

@@NoxNovak IKR? and we still have no idea what the heck is this "Mysterious Mansion"... I read some theories it's an album, other said special MV... I mean

[@NoxNovak]

@@XxwalaweixX I mean- Too soon for a second comeback- Although it could be a "secret" mini album- or even a FULL one (one can dream) but still seems too farfetched I do think the special clip will be one of the Summer Holiday b-sides- I'm hoping is Whistle since when the girls where asked *"Which bside would you like to have an MV?"* no one mentioned Whistle- Which led me to believe they already have a special clip in the making for it. I believe the special clip will either drop before MYSTERIOUS MANSION or a little while later. I think, and this ia just me, that MM is a single with MV or the start of 2 or 3 consecutive singles that tell a movie-like story. (That would be epic- Since DC would be the first ever kpop to drop singles like that and with out them being official "comebacks") but that's just me I mean- We once were gifted with Deja Vu and R.o.S.e Blue and those were collabs with a video-game company so- Stuff can happen ;^;

Been patiently waiting this video. I got halloween vibes from this video. I agree with the duality themes throughout the video and not everything appears to be. Awesome video PD.

[@cintia4eva816]

Been an Orbit and an Insomnia is really something else, too many talent to take

[@dannybyu0158]

I don't know if someone has noticed about this but when I noticed I was scared xd. GaHyeon begins the song trying to strangle JI-U with her hands and SU-A's line says: "Blue, blue, your face turns blue the look on your face is like ocean view". Are they implying that they loved someone so much that their other side ended up killing him/her for obssession?

[@laiaal.3324]

That's exactly what I thought too

[@KeepThisaSecret]

American Horror Story vibes. Dreamcatcher is unique with their creepy, dark themes.

[@danielrojaszea3952]

Handong is indeed in odd eye she cameback around 2 weeks after boca promotions ended

[@dingdonghyuckie9208]

a great comeback from DREAMCATCHER as usual. the b-sides are amazing and dami killed it once again

[@BenjiMac.]

15:27 PD is like the rest of us, confusing handong and yoohyeon.

[@hanishikido]

It was handong in the scene he was talking about, just happened to switch to yoohyeon's scene as he was discussing it

[@birchlawpa]

I just saw a VLive with Handong and Yoohyeon where Handong said even her mother gets confused watching the videos.

[@BenjiMac.]

@@birchlawpa yeah especially when they style them the same way. They doing it on purpose now lol

[@BenjiMac.]

Also seen a twitter post that someone pointed out this is part of the set from crayon pops jumping.

[@AtlanticPicture]

As much as I love strong hard hitting songs they're somewhat like an extra spicy dish. You may love it, but won't have it 3x a day, every day. BEcause is like a delicious food w simple ingredients. Good music, vocals, arrangement, mixing, choreo, style. The more you have it the more you'll like it. Or maybe I'm just hungry and thinking about pizza again. I liked it the first time. Loved it the second time. ADDICTED to it from the third time.

[@jiehoon2924]

Same PD, my favorite b-side still Silent Night!

[@aseryo5457]

Its an "Us" movie reference, when Jordan Orme pointed out the reference or concept.

[@Metaldessert]

Me before watching this : huh nice vid , cool stuff Me after watching this vid : omg dreamcatcher cinematographer is ingenius

[@CorbenDallas007]

Finally! I have been waiting for your reaction to this song ever since it came out! I really love this song. And I sincerely think this is their best song yet! I also love the horror feeling of the music video. To me this song and music video is perfection! And I love how Dreamcatcher always manage to make something unique that you haven't seen or heard before! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Librarian2406]

Yessss...silent night is my fav bside too!!! And whistle is a close 2nd:)

[@isskamiria8978]

OH MY GOD YESSSS PD AND DREAMCATCHER IS BACK

[@musaviki783]

Just thinking about how many takes the first scene took since it's a one take. Like if one person made a mistake they all had to do it again

[@zetazaku8045]

Just need 3 takes 😊

Yeah in their making off they said it 😁

I was waiting so much for this, loved the analysis PD 💕

[@teenylau]

I feel Jiu is the leader hehe in the mv because she resets the Hour Glass with evil look at the end. 😊

[@winterbear3796]

About the film "US" you got this right. Yes there was some reference of the movoe including Gayeon's holding her face shot.

[@julybarbour]

First time being early for any KZbin video ever so I had to comment before I actually watched it. Needless to say I've been waiting for this 😂

[@julybarbour]

Came back to say I definitely see the influence from US. This video was really brilliant, I just caught the dresses on the rack in the beginning is worn by the (perhaps innocent) members in the end. Also, when I first heard this song I was still heavily listening to Odd Eye and was like Meh. Then I found it playing it my head and now I'm obsessed. Kind of fits the MV theme lol. Dreamcatcher has become my favorite music group and I'm excited they're getting more attention while maintaining their sound.
