Just so you actually understand why the dystopia version of odd eye matters so much… handong was gone for scream and boca and this video was the first time we saw her in those two outfits. The change between the three outfits was scream boca and odd eye. At the end you see handong with the mask because she was the masked member in the scream MV.
Sua is the main dancer but in reality she is a pure all-rounder who can rap and sing well (she can hit the highest note in the group, Dami can hit second highest...yeah I know that doesn't make sense but they did a competition and that's how it worked out lol). Her solo "No Dot" is a tour de force of power and really shows how capable she is. (Here's the link to the high note challenge for your personal viewing. ruclips.net/video/CkrWNMhcU5o/видео.html )
Odd Eye was peak Wolfie Siyeon era! Handong removing the mask was symbolic of the masked dancer that takes her place in Scream and Boca eras, while she was stuck in China during the pandemic, as if she never left.
Shout out to Huang Sooyeon, Dreamcatcher's performance director, her two sub-choreographers and her dance crew. She's been creating amazing choreography since Deja Vu and dancing backup since Scream. The fact that the dancers are in perfect sync with Dreamcatcher says a lot about their dance skills. She and her crew also dance backup for other groups (Mamamoo's Chico Malo) and also perform alone. I'm really looking forward to what she has for us with the new comeback.
My thoughts of Dreamcatcher's members dance style: JiU is girly and feminist SuA is THE master Siyeon is charismatic presence Handong is elegance Yoohyeon is powerful Dami is tomboy-ish Gahyeon is all about face expression They own their moments when they put in the center, everytime! Great reaction as always, stay safe, keep healthy, and have great days
9:14 "oh she can dance", i'm lowkey so happy to hear that. Yoohyeon used to get critisism (or hate) that her dancing looked weird and awkward since shes so tall, and to see her improve makes me feel so proud. 😌
Personally, what the last Handong mask means seems to mean returning to Korea from China and returning to the team. During Dreamcatcher's "Scream" activity, a backup dancer wore a mask in Handong's place. Handong couldn't join the team due to Chinese activities and visa issues, so she couldn't participate in "Scream" and "Boca" activities, but she later joined again, and the video production time looks similar to the date she returned to China from Korea.
Odd Eye Dystopia ver. is THE dance video. I usually not a fan of dancing and dance videos, but this, with Handong at the end (endingDong is my lock screen btw) is everything.
18:29 This exact part of the dance is considered a closing to the Dystopia Trilogy, since the same dance position is the start of Scream Dance but from the back angle so Jiu was hidden, and here is the front angle where she is visible.
What amazed me about Odd Eye was the flipping jump or the jumpy flip (no matter how you are gonna call it). When they were flipping or flying or jumping in the sky, Siyeon was belting high notes at the same time. She’s so amazing.
If you check the live videos she actually doesn’t jump, just shifts from one foot to another - she conserves energy for the high note. Was watching some dancer do choreo reactions and he pointed it out. If you look you can often see the others lower their dance energy, too, before it’s their turn to sing.
dreamcatcher is so thoughtful, even storytelling in a dance video. dystopia version shows the 3 parts of the dystopia series through their outfits (black suit is from scream, red outfit from boca and black/white suits from odd eye). handong didn't get the chance to wear the scream and boca outfits so dreamcatcher made the dystopia dance video to reveal she was the masked dancer in the scream and boca music videos where she wasn't present. now she's back, mask off, ready to come for the kill. also, in the dance practice they wore black and white to make the eye shape in the intro and outro stand out even more!
Pat, for Dystopia Ver. of Odd Eye, it depicted Handong's presence During Scream, Boca, and Black Or White promotion time. It was also the first time InSomnia knows what kind of outfit Handong will wear during the promotion time... as the Dreamworld rules say "Never leave your family member out" so the key item to take notice of here is the hat from Black or White performance, Odd Eye Jacket Photoshoot Outfit, Scream Black Mask, Boca Shed Tear Flag (this is my own naming since the album for Boca consisted of 4 version which is S.H.E.D and the vocal point/center of the Dream catcher ( if you noticed All of the album covers, it is all like a Dream catcher - the talisman/amulet ) is like a drop of tear, hence the name... and another thing to add in my own interpretation, some times when the bullying is too hard to cope with, the one who get bullied overcome the feelings by destroying things, which is why the flag in Boca-Zombie version is tattered)
While other group like to lipsync for easy choreography song, dreamcatcher keep pushing boundaries by singing live while doing hard edge choreography every single comeback, after 6 years the result are clear dreamcatcher become a master that good in everything they done 👌🏼👍🏻👏🏼
Dreamcatcher have earned IMMENSE respect from their peers for always having super-challenging choreography AND singing live while performing. I have seen numerous quotes from other idols about how wow'd they are by what Dreamcatcher do. In addition Dreamcatcher have an extremely good reputation within the industry as professionals and also because they are very nice, kind and respectful to all their staff. Word gets around about which groups treat their staffs well and which don't - when they got their first win last year there were lots of quips about how all the staff at Show Champion were rooting for Dreamcatcher.
Handong taking off the mask at the end of the Dystopia version symobolizes her return coz during Scream, the masked dancer represented her while she was away for a year. Dreamcatcher showed their love for Dongie by wearing the outfits she missed in their comebacks for the Odd Eye Dystopia video--The suit and top hat was from Black and White, btw...just in case u didn't know. 😊
Handong was not in Scream video when she was in China competing for a show. DC invited a dancer to serve for Handong’s place with a black mask. Handong was back in Odd Eye and DC prepared this Distopia version with her ending with the black mask indicating “hey bitch I’m back”. I’m like “you can kick my ass any time and I’m happy with it”. The 3 clothing in the Distopia video shows 3 videos, the hat one from Odd Eye, the black suit from Scream, the red one from Boca. They blend different moves and clothing and Gahyeon’s white mask so perfectly in the Distopia version. This is why so many insomnias love this one.
just some additional info, at that time, the female dancers including Handong's temporary replacement actually the trainees of Happyface Ent. No further info about them now...
The masked dancer in Scream was their choreographer and performance director Hwang Sooyeon, btw....EDIT: Mianhae! She confirmed it during an interview that ppl mistake her as the masked dancer, but she was not. 😁😅
Dystopia version is wonderful for me as a Dongie bias because it's Dreamcatcher showing off what outfits Handong would've rocked if she was here for Scream, Boca, and Black or White
Also, if you enjoyed SuA aggressively shoving people, be sure to check out their M2 Relay Dance for Wind Blows where she literally yeets Siyeon out of frame half way thru 😅
Their performance director Hwang Sooyeon is not only a genius but also an almost-idol. I think she was on Produce48 before sticking to dancing and becoming their main choreographer. She is currently on tour with Red Velvet so hopefully she will be back for the comeback. (As it's the Apocalypse end they will probably have background dancers? They had only the guys in Maison and the women in Vision. So Bon Voyage could be all of them again or none, the members said the choreo will be different, like the music, so let's see.) If you watch a lot of their dance videos you'll see familiar faces because although the dancers seem to be self-employed or at least dancing for a lot of idols, DCC always brings them back which is really cute. Anyway she's close to SuA, there was a really funny live they did together in Boca era I think and they even have a similar laugh🤣😭
Hwang Sooyeon, along with the other members of the pre-debut group that Happyface Entertainment had intended to promote after MINX's debut, were contestants on Produce 101 in 2016. After MINX flopped, the company had to decide whether to retool MINX as Dreamcatcher or to debut the group of which Sooyeon was the leader - they did not have the resources to do both. All of the members of Sooyeon's group (it never had an official name and is often referred to as its code-name "Die.A Project") were eliminated in the first few rounds and that pretty much sealed the deal: Die.A Project was cancelled and all of the trainees, including Sooyeon, left the company. Sooyeon looked for another opportunity to debut as an idol, but in the end she focused on contract dancing and stayed in touch with Dreamcatcher after their debut (and as you mentioned, she is close with all the members, especially SuA). When Dreamcatcher's original choreographer Choi Sun Hi took a staff position with SM Entertainment in 2019, Sooyeon returned to Happyface, now known as Dreamcatcher Company, as choreographer and performance director. For the first couple of years, this was a full-time staff position; Sooyeon was in charge of training the pre-debut group that Happyface/Dreamcatcher company was preparing. Unfortunately the pandemic put a serious financial squeeze on Dreamcatcher Company and in early 2022 that pre-debut group was cancelled (the company basically cut anything and everything they could in order to keep the lights on without tour revenue). Sooyeon is still Dreamcatcher's choreographer and performance director, but that has shifted to a part-time role. When she is not working directly with Dreamcatcher, Sooyeon has been taking some dance and teaching jobs but primarily she has been supervising the training of TripleS at Modhaus (and to answer the obvious question: no, I have not heard anything about whether she is also working with ARTMS, Modhaus' plan to resurrect LOONA).
@@Vektorix28205 ah that's VERY interesting, thank you. Where is this from? Yes I saw the planning of the new group and was sad it fell through but in the end the market right now is so saturated and I feel like DCC has always been a group to push their luck. Like it always works out for them in the end but who knows if that would also work out for their sister group. But I love their casting choices, just looking at DC but also Sooyeon makes it so interesting to see a new group. And the trainees were all a bit older I think. Ah seriously such a loss but again I'm aware that they're still not in safe waters and they seem to have a tight grip on their finances but obviously I don't wanna see DC affected (as in, since they're not big4 a new group wouldn't be a self-runner). Maybe in the future, the fact that they at least had a gg in mind is good. Maybe the market calms down a bit, I feel like there has to be a big bang later this year. Like it's going too well for too many groups if you know what I mean. Also what concept would they have? HFE experienced the hard way that riding the red ocean didn't work and right now there's this NewJeans era I fell. Creepy is already settled with DC, Purki and a few nugu groups. Even Gfriend like stuff and cute stuff is coming back so what's left? I don't think they can afford another fighter group that only gets recognition after over 5 years. Really, nothing about ARTMS? You seem to be an insider😄😌
@@moongirl8807 I am not a super-insider - I have had brief chats with Sooyeon on Instagram from time to time, but mostly I just pay close attention to what gets said in interviews and posted on social media and then try to put the pieces together. Some of it is just basic public information - such as the members of Die.A Project being on Produce 101, being eliminated in the early rounds, Happyface cancelling the group, and then seeing what the members were doing afterwards. I am sure there is more to the decision to retool MINX as Dreamcatcher than JUST the Die.A Project members not doing well on P101, but from what we on the outside know, it's fairly straightforward to create a basic timeline of events. For a small company, Dreamcatcher Company did a pretty great job managing the pandemic. They were one of the first to jump on streaming concerts and while it wasn't the same as ongoing tour revenue, it was better than nothing (*cough* MNH Entertainment *cough*). But they did have to pinch pennies (or KRW), especially in 2021/early 2022. They tried to keep the trainee girl group (code-named Happyface Girls) going but with the company's finances and the glut of girl group debuts, I think they just didn't see a route to profitability, and there was no point in keeping the trainees in the company if they were never going to debut. Similarly, the company tried to keep their boy group D1CE intact by having the members do their military service during the pandemic, but in the end D1CE disbanded in January 2023. Even Dreamcatcher felt the pinch - fewer special clips and less variety content. It's better now, by far, with successful tours last summer and this spring, but the company seems to be keeping the pursestrings tighter than before - for example, only doing two weeks of music show promotions (which I am pretty sure the company has to pay for) rather than three or four during the last few comebacks. Similarly, the company is also VERY small: recently they posted a job listing for a new marketing director and mentioned that the company has fewer than 25 employees (including the group members). The company WILL have to create a new group eventually - Dreamcatcher can't go on forever and with no other revenue, the company has all of its eggs in one basket. But so far I haven't seen any signs of the company auditioning for new trainees. I don't know much more about ARTMS than what we see reported in Korean media and in Jaden Jeong's interview with NME a few weeks ago. With Hyunjin and ViVi now free, I think we will see them join Modhaus pretty quickly as Jaden clearly WANTS to reassemble all the members of LOONA, and I think being part of ARTMS is a better deal than they could get in just about any other situation. But legally I don't think they could begin contract talks with Modhaus until after the ruling on their situation with BlockBerry Creative, so it might be a few weeks before there is any announcement (and Jaden is mostly keeping his mouth shut about the members still at BlockBerry to avoid any appearance of interfering in the ongoing court cases). Chuu hasn't said a word about her plans with regard to ARTMS. It's entirely possible that Sooyeon may have created choreography for the ARTMS/Odd Eye Circle redebut, but she hasn't said anything about it. She has been working as one of the dancers on the Red Velvet tour, so I doubt that she has been "hands on" with the ARTMS members like she has been with TripleS in the past (also the ARTMS members have years of experience in LOONA - they don't need the close supervision that trainees do).
the Odd Eye Dystopia version - they wear their previous costumes when Handong was not with them specifically, Scream and Boca costumes. in a behind-the-scene video, i think Yoohyeon said the hat is from Black or White, she wants Handong to wear the hats too because she missed it. Yes, we are always full. sometimes they go into silent mode, but that's just indicating their comeback is on the horizon. have you pre-orederd your album yet?
I thought the main outfits were from either teaser/photobook images, than you had scream and boca. I never saw any wind blows outfits in this video that I remember anyway
Hey Pat! Every dreamcatcher era is flawless, but the Odd Eye one was something else... Wind Blows dance practice is a MUST! And yes, we are a very well fed fandom! Its sad that some somnies spend their time criticizing the company instead of supporting the Girls, Who give their all every time! They Do Their JOB! I hope they can rest well after this comeback tho.. hope you are doing well Pat! Cant wait to your next DC reaction❤
Everytime siyeon appear on the screen, pat is just like, yup bye my soul and i related 😂 anyway in the dystopia version , the suit was scream outfit, the red one were boca outfit and the leather wear was odd eye photoshoot outfit. Scream, boca and odd eye form the dystopia trilogy hence dystopia version. The reason why handong removed the mask was cuz she was in china during scream and boca and a mask dancer was put in her place and now that she is back, mask revealed and it is her, in a sense that she never left ❤
I can’t wait for the Dystopia: Road to Utopia reaction! I’ve listened to every single one of their 60+ tracks to date, and two of my top songs from them come from this album As far as live content goes, their It’s Live Band Ver. of Wind Blows is easily one of my favorite performances from them
road to utopia is one of my favs. You're going to love it I think. Gotta check out the wind blows dance practice for more sua energy! (they all kill it), and the "It's Live" version is SICK, also there's a [Play Color] version of Wind Blows, high quality dance studio version, and they slay (particularly sua, dami, and siyeon) gotta watch. Poison love has a special clip, it's a bit goofy, but it's a gem(song is amazing). 4 memory is transcendental, and new days is THAT B side
I’m ashamed to say this is the first time I watched the dystopia version MV. Handong is wrecking my bias for Yoohyeon so much she might as well be my 2nd bias, and this MV was all about bringing her back into the fold.
Yo. I really love your reactions to Dreamcatcher. If you wanna react to Deja Vu by Dreamcatcher in the future, I just wanna suggest that you also listen to the Japanese version too. There is an MV of it under King's Raid official channel. Many new Somnias might not know of its existence because it wasn't really popular in terms of views.
Dreamcatcher are just great! Their music is so powerful and still has catchy melodies - a lot of western pop music has become so boring, like on Valium. And last but not least, they’re all so pretty, especially I’m a fan of Yoohyeon and Sua ❤
The definition of Dreamcatcher is Dreamcatcher, they are their own genre in every sense of the word 🙃🤘 Just catching up to your reactions and loving it! In case no one has linked this yet, I'd highly recommend reacting to their set at the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona from last summer...it's simply fantastic (perhaps as a Patreon thing?): ruclips.net/video/VPmx-DwGnc8/видео.html Cheers!
Hi, I have watched all Dreamcatcher from your youtube channel, you look so tensed. let's chill a bit ok. why not try to watching them outside stage videos like their vlogs, notes, tv show or vlive? You will love it, I bet. 😊

@@justpat2316 alright.. btw a lil bit spoiler for D:RTU EP (with Odd Eye in it): there's no ballad there. so prepare yourself bcs you'll need a lot of energy despite only 3 additional songs (and 1 intro)😂
Why the F* this has to happen to me again... as an InSomnia but also at the same time Neverland, May 2018 is a hard time to pick who to vote and now 5 years later the nightmare comes again... May 2023, Deukae and (G)I-DLE promotion overlapped again... even though i love both their interaction but this kind of overlapped situation is bothersome...
@@justpat2316 I think your viewers have noticed: you have a lot to say about how cool Dami is or how much energy SuA has, how well Yoohyeon performs, etc. But when Siyeon appears (especially odd Eye Siyeon), you lost for words. You even stop moving.

Just so you actually understand why the dystopia version of odd eye matters so much… handong was gone for scream and boca and this video was the first time we saw her in those two outfits. The change between the three outfits was scream boca and odd eye. At the end you see handong with the mask because she was the masked member in the scream MV.
Gahyeon holding onto the wall seem to be cause she was tired. I notice when they did the barrel roll. She stayed on the ground.
Our maknae should be the most energetic but she's just a sleepy baby 🤣
Sua is the main dancer but in reality she is a pure all-rounder who can rap and sing well (she can hit the highest note in the group, Dami can hit second highest...yeah I know that doesn't make sense but they did a competition and that's how it worked out lol). Her solo "No Dot" is a tour de force of power and really shows how capable she is.
(Here's the link to the high note challenge for your personal viewing. ruclips.net/video/CkrWNMhcU5o/видео.html )
I never noticed that detail of Gahyeon clinging to the wall for support and Siyeon giving her a back hug. Aw!
Odd Eye was peak Wolfie Siyeon era! Handong removing the mask was symbolic of the masked dancer that takes her place in Scream and Boca eras, while she was stuck in China during the pandemic, as if she never left.

I'm really looking forward to what she has for us with the new comeback.
Hwang is correct
My thoughts of Dreamcatcher's members dance style:
JiU is girly and feminist
SuA is THE master
Siyeon is charismatic presence
Handong is elegance
Yoohyeon is powerful
Dami is tomboy-ish
Gahyeon is all about face expression
They own their moments when they put in the center, everytime!
Great reaction as always, stay safe, keep healthy, and have great days

It’s now at the point where I actually prefer her oh so clean and elegant moves to SuA’s burst mode perfection.
Personally, what the last Handong mask means seems to mean returning to Korea from China and returning to the team.
During Dreamcatcher's "Scream" activity, a backup dancer wore a mask in Handong's place.
Handong couldn't join the team due to Chinese activities and visa issues, so she couldn't participate in "Scream" and "Boca" activities, but she later joined again, and the video production time looks similar to the date she returned to China from Korea.

Really, nothing about ARTMS? You seem to be an insider😄😌
@@moongirl8807 I am not a super-insider - I have had brief chats with Sooyeon on Instagram from time to time, but mostly I just pay close attention to what gets said in interviews and posted on social media and then try to put the pieces together. Some of it is just basic public information - such as the members of Die.A Project being on Produce 101, being eliminated in the early rounds, Happyface cancelling the group, and then seeing what the members were doing afterwards. I am sure there is more to the decision to retool MINX as Dreamcatcher than JUST the Die.A Project members not doing well on P101, but from what we on the outside know, it's fairly straightforward to create a basic timeline of events.
For a small company, Dreamcatcher Company did a pretty great job managing the pandemic. They were one of the first to jump on streaming concerts and while it wasn't the same as ongoing tour revenue, it was better than nothing (*cough* MNH Entertainment *cough*). But they did have to pinch pennies (or KRW), especially in 2021/early 2022. They tried to keep the trainee girl group (code-named Happyface Girls) going but with the company's finances and the glut of girl group debuts, I think they just didn't see a route to profitability, and there was no point in keeping the trainees in the company if they were never going to debut. Similarly, the company tried to keep their boy group D1CE intact by having the members do their military service during the pandemic, but in the end D1CE disbanded in January 2023. Even Dreamcatcher felt the pinch - fewer special clips and less variety content. It's better now, by far, with successful tours last summer and this spring, but the company seems to be keeping the pursestrings tighter than before - for example, only doing two weeks of music show promotions (which I am pretty sure the company has to pay for) rather than three or four during the last few comebacks. Similarly, the company is also VERY small: recently they posted a job listing for a new marketing director and mentioned that the company has fewer than 25 employees (including the group members). The company WILL have to create a new group eventually - Dreamcatcher can't go on forever and with no other revenue, the company has all of its eggs in one basket. But so far I haven't seen any signs of the company auditioning for new trainees.
I don't know much more about ARTMS than what we see reported in Korean media and in Jaden Jeong's interview with NME a few weeks ago. With Hyunjin and ViVi now free, I think we will see them join Modhaus pretty quickly as Jaden clearly WANTS to reassemble all the members of LOONA, and I think being part of ARTMS is a better deal than they could get in just about any other situation. But legally I don't think they could begin contract talks with Modhaus until after the ruling on their situation with BlockBerry Creative, so it might be a few weeks before there is any announcement (and Jaden is mostly keeping his mouth shut about the members still at BlockBerry to avoid any appearance of interfering in the ongoing court cases). Chuu hasn't said a word about her plans with regard to ARTMS. It's entirely possible that Sooyeon may have created choreography for the ARTMS/Odd Eye Circle redebut, but she hasn't said anything about it. She has been working as one of the dancers on the Red Velvet tour, so I doubt that she has been "hands on" with the ARTMS members like she has been with TripleS in the past (also the ARTMS members have years of experience in LOONA - they don't need the close supervision that trainees do).
Han Dong was supposed to be the masked dancer in Scream
the Odd Eye Dystopia version - they wear their previous costumes when Handong was not with them specifically, Scream and Boca costumes. in a behind-the-scene video, i think Yoohyeon said the hat is from Black or White, she wants Handong to wear the hats too because she missed it.
Yes, we are always full. sometimes they go into silent mode, but that's just indicating their comeback is on the horizon.
have you pre-orederd your album yet?
I thought the main outfits were from either teaser/photobook images, than you had scream and boca. I never saw any wind blows outfits in this video that I remember anyway
@@BSBangel you are correct. No wind blows. I just got confused because the style is similar. Just checked the Wind Blows video, lol.
This may have been mentioned already but there are callbacks to scream and Boca in the dance moves on this one, especially during chorus.
Hey Pat! Every dreamcatcher era is flawless, but the Odd Eye one was something else...
Wind Blows dance practice is a MUST! And yes, we are a very well fed fandom! Its sad that some somnies spend their time criticizing the company instead of supporting the Girls, Who give their all every time! They Do Their JOB! I hope they can rest well after this comeback tho.. hope you are doing well Pat! Cant wait to your next DC reaction❤
Everytime siyeon appear on the screen, pat is just like, yup bye my soul and i related 😂 anyway in the dystopia version , the suit was scream outfit, the red one were boca outfit and the leather wear was odd eye photoshoot outfit. Scream, boca and odd eye form the dystopia trilogy hence dystopia version. The reason why handong removed the mask was cuz she was in china during scream and boca and a mask dancer was put in her place and now that she is back, mask revealed and it is her, in a sense that she never left ❤

I can’t wait for the Dystopia: Road to Utopia reaction! I’ve listened to every single one of their 60+ tracks to date, and two of my top songs from them come from this album
As far as live content goes, their It’s Live Band Ver. of Wind Blows is easily one of my favorite performances from them
road to utopia is one of my favs. You're going to love it I think. Gotta check out the wind blows dance practice for more sua energy! (they all kill it), and the "It's Live" version is SICK, also there's a [Play Color] version of Wind Blows, high quality dance studio version, and they slay (particularly sua, dami, and siyeon) gotta watch. Poison love has a special clip, it's a bit goofy, but it's a gem(song is amazing). 4 memory is transcendental, and new days is THAT B side
I’m ashamed to say this is the first time I watched the dystopia version MV. Handong is wrecking my bias for Yoohyeon so much she might as well be my 2nd bias, and this MV was all about bringing her back into the fold.
Lol I thought something wrong with my net 🤣 Its just u embracing Siyeon for more than 10 seconds 🤣🤣🤣
We need to unite as InSomnias and protect this man. He aint ready for Suitcatcher and Gaycatcher 😂😂😂
Dreamcatcher choreo is def top tier.
16 Days until the drop. Start writing your will before you die.
Ms. Yoohyeon Kim is perfect OMG
DC went hard in Odd Eye. Second, kpop gg don't play when it comes to dancing in suits.
Dystopia version is then singing the song in all of their outfits from Scream to Boca to Odd eye. The trilogy.
Thank you so much for uploading today legend!! Hope you're doing well 🙏
2:07 the distress in his face when Siyeon comes on the screen 😂😂😂😂
Siyeon in this era is dangerous man, im telling u 😏
Yo. I really love your reactions to Dreamcatcher. If you wanna react to Deja Vu by Dreamcatcher in the future, I just wanna suggest that you also listen to the Japanese version too. There is an MV of it under King's Raid official channel. Many new Somnias might not know of its existence because it wasn't really popular in terms of views.
Giselle needs Dami to give her some lessons on how to be a kpop rapper!
Are u going to upload ur reaction of Sahara, red sun and black or white? Or is that in Patreon?
did you see the new teaser pics that dropped earlier? if not, brace yourself 🤭
Dreamcatcher are just great! Their music is so powerful and still has catchy melodies - a lot of western pop music has become so boring, like on Valium. And last but not least, they’re all so pretty, especially I’m a fan of Yoohyeon and Sua ❤
Dreamcatcher are Genre Benders
I hope one day he checks out their relay dances
12:43 Represents me🤣❤
Waiting for the album reaction!!❤❤
12:41 사랑고백ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I say that all the time. Only DC does what DC does. :) DeJaVu
Please Pat..
You have to watch all the title tracks and album reactions too.. I'm waitingggg 🔥
The definition of Dreamcatcher is Dreamcatcher, they are their own genre in every sense of the word 🙃🤘
Just catching up to your reactions and loving it! In case no one has linked this yet, I'd highly recommend reacting to their set at the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona from last summer...it's simply fantastic (perhaps as a Patreon thing?): ruclips.net/video/VPmx-DwGnc8/видео.html
Cheers!

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
How Cute!! Gibson!
hahaha yes! we love si-yeon!(sing sing ni)
Hi, I have watched all Dreamcatcher from your youtube channel, you look so tensed. let's chill a bit ok. why not try to watching them outside stage videos like their vlogs, notes, tv show or vlive? You will love it, I bet. 😊
12:45 I'M HOLLERING 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤟😄🤟...💯🤩😍🥰Dreamcatcher...☘️😉🍀...🌛🤗🌜
🤟🏾😄🤟🏾
Do you see the new concept pics our girls😮
I'm wondering if dreamcatcher mind will be posted here too or not😊
It will only be on Patreon. With the amount of Reactions I do in a Week, it is very Time Consuming So I created a Patreon for Extra Content So it can Possibly free up time to do more Reactions. Also, I wanted this RUclips Channel to be Music Based with only a few Non-Music Videos about the Music videos. So all other Non-Music Content will be on Patreon.
@@justpat2316 alright.. btw a lil bit spoiler for D:RTU EP (with Odd Eye in it): there's no ballad there. so prepare yourself bcs you'll need a lot of energy despite only 3 additional songs (and 1 intro)😂
Why the F* this has to happen to me again... as an InSomnia but also at the same time Neverland, May 2018 is a hard time to pick who to vote and now 5 years later the nightmare comes again... May 2023, Deukae and (G)I-DLE promotion overlapped again... even though i love both their interaction but this kind of overlapped situation is bothersome...
Dude. the video lag at 12:41. You are not are not moving..
This The Siyeon Effect 😂😂
@@justpat2316 I think your viewers have noticed: you have a lot to say about how cool Dami is or how much energy SuA has, how well Yoohyeon performs, etc. But when Siyeon appears (especially odd Eye Siyeon), you lost for words. You even stop moving.
Can you check g- idle please 🥺 i think you will love them
Marathon of them Coming Very Very soon. I seen a Teaser Pic of One of the Girls and I got attacked 😂 So I gotta See what they are about
@@justpat2316 you need to prepare , just saying 😅
