They don't deserve the wealth, power or prestige they hold because they cheated to get where they are.

[@Tranitosaur]

Yup. As of now they still haven't gotten any wins. Five of the members of DC has been in this for 7 years and the other two for 4 years. The five members contracts are expiring this year. I'm pretty sure they will resign their contracts though, but who knows? So I'm kind of torn inside and hope that Dreamcatcher won't end up like 9MUSES. 9MUSES is a girl group that disbanded after 9 years with no wins. At least one of the OG 9MUSES member is actually an InSomnia. Her name is Ryu Sera and has a KZbin channel. She's our fandom president! 😃

[@autumneagle]

Sera

[@TravelGamerKpopper]

Girl group competition during 9Muses days were very tough. They started off when some of the biggest girl groups were still active, such as Girls' Generation, Sistar, Red Velvet, T-ARA, and 2NE1. Nowadays, KPOP is oversaturated with groups and the competition is even tougher. I hope they get to perform on an awards show someday though at the very least! They certainly deserve it for their iconic group concept!

"Dreamcatcher escaped the island just before the volcano exploded". How many hypothetical volcanoes have Dreamcatcher avoided in all their life as musicians? Loads of them, and they keep on rising from the hell the industry (and especially "The Show") wants to sink them into. Let's be serious, talented as they've always been, I really doubt they would've achieved what they have now if they'd gone on as Minx. Dreamcatcher is more than just a pop band. Maybe it's just me and I love them too much, but it's not by chance that they keep on drawing new fans with each comeback and with their unique sound. But the reality is, an unconventional band like them are rather unlikely to get a win in these shows dominated by convention. It's up to us, and only us, to help them get their first win. Still, if their contract with Happyface comes to an end and they have to disband without a win, it doesn't matter. Because their musical legacy will prevail

[@allursins]

The Show (that made the "error" in calculation), instead of coming clean about the calculation and apologizing, mocked dreamcatcher in a passive aggressive tweet with a badly edited picture of them. Its just really obvious the results were fudged tbh. Such an error in calculation is way too big, and even with the outcry regarding it they never tried to show their actual results or calculations, instead mocking the group for not winning. So disgusting

[@allursins]

And even recently with their Boca comeback last year, dreamcatcher amassed good views for the first week so they could have used that to win, but COINCIDENTALLY The Show decided to cancel the show for that week "due to covid" (despite them never doing this before the whole year abruptly). The second week, views slowed down, and another group won. And this time even, for their Odd Eye comeback, three days after dreamcatcher announced their comeback, The Show came out with an announcement that they will ABRUPTLY making a new voting system (which will obviously impact dreamcatcher, who has more international fans than Korean fans). It's all so sleazy and obvious.

[@archvileppv]

@@allursins Also, have you seen this picture? clip2net.com/s/4aQiCQR I was literally devastated when I discovered it, but I still hope it wasn't true. Keep in memory robbed ot7 comeback would be even more depressing..

@@archvileppv yeah I saw it, honestly at this point let's just focus on streaming the MV and the song on BUGs. Our digitals are low but we have a chance to win if we push up our digitals for Show Champion

[@aislin2989]

Hate to break it to you, but the poster tweet is a reference back to 1970s movie posters in Korea. While everything else about that time is shady af, the poster tweet does need to be left out of 'they're just mocking Insomnias!' conversation - possibly they were, but there is a precedence of movie posters looking like the one they 'made' to advertise DC's special stage. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/Hwanghon_yeolcha_poster_2.jpg upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e9/Yeoseon_jeonseon_poster_2.jpg vintageninja.net/wp-content/uploads/korea-1.jpg lh3.ggpht.com/5dlm_-WIYAhagekMTY4SOsxRruR0RrlOmEnpFbyIVaj0eF8o83xG5AIqiWx6Sw

[@mazinpg8442]

I got upset everytime i watch that video. This is why we InSomnia care so much for our 7 precious talented girls, they've been through a rough road to be where they're now. Dreamcatcher always a winner in InSomnia heart.

[@darchon5]

Thank you for reacting to this one, loved your insightful commentary throughout. This is their best group history guide to date even though it's now 2 comebacks out of date. KraayJay's Ultimate guide's their best guide on the individual members, in terms of 1 video. But the series of "This is..." videos on each member (and also the group) is the most updated set of guides currently. And btw, nope, Dreamcatcher was still likely robbed with no acknowledgement from any official sources. And, most likely there won't be a show win this comeback either as they've already lost several (came in 2nd once), though there's a small chance next week but they're trailing somewhat significantly in the numbers and predictions. The main reason for their lack of music show success is because rock/metal is not popular in Korea so their digital sales there are way, way lower than other groups, as is their voting from Korea for music shows (international fans represent really well, but they factor much less than do Korean fan votes and sales). The second reason is some bad timing with comebacks. For award shows, their unconventional sound and style don't seem to be valued very highly - they haven't received any nominations/awards since their 1st yr (a couple of best new artist noms) nor even invites to perform at any of the top shows. (EDIT: almost forgot, they received 5 noms for the Seoul Music Awards last wk, BUT this is the show that literally noms everyone: they were in categories with 66, 66, 50, 30, & 16 noms - incl for a Bonsang where 12 were handed out among 50 noms, yet DC still didn't win one).

[@dramaanalyst1745]

Dreamcatcher gained lots of success in 2020 they sold 179k album in 2020 they were in the top 10 girl group albums sales and Road To Utopia sold 45k on their first day so DC gained a lots of success

[@jedimasterkac3437]

Thank you so much for watching this! I appreciate how thorough you are and this video is incredibly important, I feel. Back when I was first looking into Dreamcatcher, I saw this video and watched it. This was the turning point for me from like casual listener to hardcore "stan". Hearing just how resilient they are and the amount of times the odds have been against them was eye-opening. I like a lot of groups, but I LOVE Dreamcatcher. They are incredibly talented and work so hard despite being held down or under dogs. I respect them for always coming out swinging no matter what.

[@darchon5]

Really well said. This awesome guide highlights really well just how underrated they've been in the industry, now going on 4+ yrs, or 6.5 yrs if including MINX. They have arguably the biggest underdog story out there (that doesn't have a positive conclusion - yet) for a group who's been around that long with that productive and top tier of a discography.

[@llluke4657]

F**k the wins. Embrace being the underdog!! DC will become a legend. ( not despite being underdogs, but because they are.)

[@kevindean0000]

4 months after the Deja Vu The Show incident, an Everglow member was announced as a co-host for The Show. Make of that what you will. Everglow shouldn't be blamed, but there's a lot of talk about shady hijinks their company gets up to. I like Everglow so no shade there and DC and Everglow get along fine. Again it's the corporate dark underbelly that ruins things for everyone.

[@allursins]

Right? I love everglow but I really hate the shadiness of their company, especially since it's a really rich company

[@Brickerbrack]

The two main hypotheses I heard were that indeed, Everglow's company may have pulled strings to get them the win; the other was that YG had/has some pull with the Show, and may have used that to nobble Happyface in retaliation for the lawsuit. Of course, that was while Yang Hyunsuk was still with them; I don't know if that would still have any relevance now.

[@kevindean0000]

@@Brickerbrack Of course the other shady part being The Show themselves and their complete lack of responding / addressing the issue either to confirm their results or acknowledge the problem. Ignoring the twitter storm that occurred afterward and not saying anything pretty much confirms that The Show was up to no good and they were not concerned about any outcry or a complains regarding a small company.

[@Brickerbrack]

@@kevindean0000 Absolutely. Like Mera said, every other time there's been a miscount, it's been acknowledged and corrected. All we got were some terribly photoshopped images... 🤨 It's a stark contrast to the other shows, where DC have often commented on how nicely the staff have treated them. It's a good rule of thumb that if you're not in love with DC, you just don't know them. 😋

[@kevindean0000]

@@Brickerbrack It was found that the terribly photoshopped image was from a poster done by the festival where The Show was at for the 2nd week of DC promotions and not The Show themselves. Still no excuse for the bad graphics work since no other artists had the same issue and no one bothered to fix it.

[@rocket7D]

I love your reaction, and yes Mera did a wonderful job, I hope she make a second part so many things happended after "Deja Vu", 3 comebacks "Scream", "Boca", "Odd Eye", first full album, Siyeon Solo, 2 online concerts and one of them with live band, 2 japanese releases "Endless Night" and "No More", another game collaboration song "Rose Blue", covers, OSTs and on March first official animé song "Eclipse". In the video she doesnt name the launch of Breaking Out with the first album in japanese, with several versions of theirs titles track in japanese and two new songs "I miss you" and "My way", super recommended. Thanks for keep reacting to them.

Nearly all their comebacks were near huge competitors so their chances of winning were lessened even more. Dreamcatcher is so talented and deserves their first win but we insomnias know that a win isn’t what classifies them as successful artists.

[@payoonnivonsay3597]

7:30 Yes, they are. Apple B is a very similar situation to minx. Apple B was a girlgroup of 5 members with a cute concept, but they weren't popular. So, I think 2 of the members left the company, and the other 3 redebut under the same company as 3ye. 3ye is a girlgroup with a more badass concept, they debuted on 2019 with DMT (do ma thang)

[@zgarth1570]

Thanks for the reaction! Mera is indeed so good at editing. She made other really interesting videos (and when you know a bit of her own struggles... T.T). Still no win at the moment so we are streaming hard: the MV on KZbin but also more importantly on KOREAN digital platform, Genie and BUGS, which is the biggest hurdle at the moment (Spotify doesn't count). As an ARMY and an InSomnia, it kind of broke my heart (I started to become InSomnia during "You and I" era and during "Scream" I was a bit sad as "ON" came as well as other big groups). Looking forward to the reactions to dance practices!

32:09 yeah it was true for real, becuase "The Show" doing this to dreamcatcher for 4 comebacks in row, there is no k pop group in the history with nomination on same show without a sinhgle win, they are doing this on purpose for sure, idk why but i asume someone paying for that, the world of kpop its not good looking at the behind of walls

[@Brickerbrack]

First time I saw Minx was the Love Shake video, _after_ already getting used to Dreamcatcher. I _swear_ I could feel my eyes burning... 😵 I'm relatively new to K-pop myself; I fell in about three years ago now, and DC were only the second group I got into (after first getting hooked on Twice). But I've certainly never heard of any group pulling such a 180 in the way that they did. The closest you're got is probably something like Red Velvet, who kind of have a couple of different concepts, but they do that concurrently, and I don't think they're _as_ different as the transition between Minx and DC... The only other group I can think of that's pulled this kind of redebuting trick is NeonPunch/XUM, and that's both more recent, and I don't think quite as drastic. Plus they're pretty untested at this point, and they _lost_ members instead of _gaining_ them. 😋 The time gap between the two was... I guess quite a bit, really. The space between the _announcement_ and redebut was only a couple of months, but bear in mind, the announcement was November '16, and they hadn't had any action since Summer _'15_ - over a year. "It's so hard not to bop to these songs..!" No-one's asking you to stop... 😜

I'm a bit late... But I'm just here to say that more recently, during BOCA comeback, 1 week of The Show was completely cancelled without any official explanation. And, it wasn't a random week. It was the first week of the comeback, that had DC's highest sales at that time, and, they had no major competitors that week. Was it sheer bad luck, or does it have anything to do with some shady business, everyone should have it's own opinion... Edit: DC is one of the well known group on the international scene. But in Korea nobody knew them a few months ago. Now they're starting to get some recognition...

SNSD is the only other group I can think of that tried a lot of different concepts (kpop, rock, pop, edm, Jpop, etc), but they were still called SNSD. No other girl group has ever switched their concept with a full 180 degrees as much as the Minx -> Dreamcatcher one. If there were other they were probably not successful even after the switch. Minx is gone forever! Dreamcatcher is here to stay now as long as the members decide to stick together.

[@undertaker818]

They also made the song eclipse the intro to kings raid anime series which is also a collaboration with the mobile game

[@floverdan5180]

In the most recent Show, Dreamcatcher were robbed again. They were 1111 points behind Golden Child which is SBS's way of saying "F U". DC lost to Everglow by 11 points but if the numbers weren't fudged they would have actually won by 111 points. The Show making DC lose by 1111 points is SBS way of rubbing it in our face: 11, 111 then 1111. Numbers especially in multiples of 11 are magical and have meaning; 33 being the most magical number of them all. 11 and 33 popping up in numerical calculations is quite common when the numbers are fudged or made up, and whenever I see 11 and 33 used at all, I always take the statistic with a grain of salt. So yeah there is a conspiracy to deny DC of wins and gaining more of a foothold in the industry and domestic Korean market.

[@basaraki]

In the year when the girl group market was the most saturated, 500 teams were created in just one year. Among them, less than 50 teams were able to make their debut on the air. There were times when there were fewer than five surviving teams. Only in one year. Only girl groups. The figure is not even included in boy groups. It's less than it was now, but there's still a lot of groups on the table. Competition continues to intensify.

[@chvrrvism3833]

minx really traumatized sua, she said she would never ever go back to short hair LMAO

[@Мыслящий-е5ь]

There is another girlgroup that has radically changed the concept this is 3YE (pronounced third eye). This group consists of three former members of the group AppleB which had a typical cute concept. Now 3YE have a badass concept or for me power girls concept. The group debuted in 2019 and has 4 singles (DMT, OOMM, Queen, Yessir) and 1 mini album. They are very cool girls, very charismatic with very strong choreos. And just like DC sing live. Сheck it out and you'll be amazed. Regarding Dreamcatcher, they have long outgrown k-pop. This became especially noticeable in 2020. They act in a territory that no other k-pop group will ever enter in their lifetime. Right now, winning a Korean music show won't bring them anything. For 4 years, all Koreans who wanted to have already become their fans. Therefore, they should only use music shows as a means of promoting new songs and focus on global promotion.
