There’s a clip from their first win, just before the winner is announced, and it’s the most heartbreaking thing, because they’re not nervous or tense, or anticipatory or happy or sad, because they have no expectation of winning. They never win, they’re not even imagining it in the moment. Just crushing. Also, when Dreamcatcher performs Reason in concert, the thing now when they get to “being with insomnia”, the crowd sings “being with Dreamcatcher” forever back to them.
The staff told Dreamcatcher they were going to record something after the live was over as an excuse to get them into the wings without letting on why they were really there. ruclips.net/video/SOAmF7RwFkk/видео.htmlsi=pTfNMWfvB-ZvUYIv
That's so heartbreaking. The fact that they didn't even think it was a possibility at that point. I bet there's not a single dry eye in the concert venue whenever Reason is performed 😭
@@NewChapterReactions Up till then I believe the count was 1,923 days since Dreamcatcher's debut, making the finals of music shows 13 times, coming in 2nd place seven of those, zero wins. It's actually a happy story if you carry on to the next week when they got their second win; completely opposite vibes all smiles. Everyone was prepared with something to say that time including Handong with her Mandarin speech and Yoohyeon's infamous hand speech in English. The best part, remember Dodging Disbandment and all the fishy stuff when it seemed like they should have won for Deja Vu in 2019? Their 2nd win was on that show, by 14 points ruclips.net/video/Mj22cIDvDYc/видео.htmlsi=igD9sx0rG1yvGO1p.
I went to a Dreamcatcher concert in may here in Finland. When they sang Reason, I cried. And like you said about the part ''We are always with insomnia'', us fans shouted ''We are always with Dreamcatcher''. The girls reaction was so cute ❤ And I appear shortly in the Reason mv when they show pics from their tours !! I was quite front so you can see me in the picture. In the MV at 3:02 and here @17:26
Fun fact, music shows dont typically have groups sing their entire song for their encore. Props for show champ for letting the girls live in the moment and let them sing Maison in it's entirety 🥹
Yeah they usually cut off after the second verse or so, especially with groups who have had multiple wins, but everyone knew how hard Dreamcatcher worked for that win and they ran that song all the way through and had time at the end. It's really a testament to the Show Champion staff that kept those cameras rolling as long as they did. A 5 minute encore performance? Practically unheard of as of recent.
We didn't even realize! We were so caught up in the performance, but you're right!! We've only ever seen full encore stages by seeing different fancams from the audience.
4:12 This moment was 5 years in the making, 5 years of hard work, 5 years of asking themselves, “when is it gonna be our time?”. This makes me cry EVERY TIME. Working so long and everyone at the company putting all their trust in them to achieve their goals and after 5 whole years being able to give payback that trust with a single trophy. It’s so much
More than 5 years since Dreamcatcher's 2017 debut for Han Dong and Gahyeon, and even longer for the Minx members, more than 7 years without a win (2014).
one of the really touching things about this first win is that a bunch of other fandoms decided to help out and voted with us in order to give the girls the win. You rarely see such friendship and coaporation between k-pop fandoms.
i think it also speaks a lot about dreamcatcher as a group when even the music show staff was crying out of happiness for them T.T our kindhearted working girls, i will never not be emotional watching their first win
On that day I stayed up till 3AM my time to watch show champion. That day EVERY Insomnia was confident that Dreamcatcher will finally get their win.. and they did. Once I heard their name I started BAWLING with them and that’s a moment I’ll always treasure. I might have only gotten into Dc in 2021 but I’m so happy that I was able to experience their first win with them, because this win was the huge break that they needed🥲 I still cry whenever it comes up
The interesting fact is that this song was released after they all renewed their contracts with the agency, if it was released before the renewed contract, InSonmia might have thought this was a farewell song before disbanding and we might have cried our hearts out.
One of the most wonderful things about the first win is that fans from several other groups, particularly Loona, made a point of voting for Dreamcatcher on Show Champion to push them over the top to make sure they got their first win with Maison. REASON was released for their sixth anniversary - and on the first January Friday the 13th since their debut. (The next one is in January 2034).
Yeah the honesty really took me aback in "Reason". They were like "yeah we're thankful to our fans because this journey has been REALLY f^cking hard" and I appreciate that sincerity. It just makes me want to support them more!
4:28 Handong is just about to start her speech in Mandarin when the music cuts her off, forever cementing the Holding This Pain meme as the 8th member of Dreamcatcher.
Forgot my boy Moonbin was there for their first win 😢 I'm not ready to hear Reason live next week,like I'm gonna bawl and I'll be a mess then meeting them 🥹🥹 Reason always hits me,with the different eras outfits and the Insomnia at the end 🥹💜 Seen them grow since their debut and they keep growing
I can't imagine hearing it live especially if you've been following them through so many of their hardships. I'm sure it's a beautiful moment (make sure to pack a tissue or two 😭)
I had thought the same thing, I was pretty heart broken when I saw him as mc, I was never a true fan of Astro but did always appreciate their musics style. Rip Moonbin
I discovered Dreamcatcher exactly 3 years ago by the time I'm typing this. It was BEcause era. I immediately loved them and their music due to the fact that it is the most unique sound in kpop. I wasn't ulting them though. I witnessed their 1st win in my 1st comeback as an insomnia, there I cried my bawls out. I took a break on kpop during the year 2023 so I haven't really got into Bon Voyage (although I heard it once) and OOTD. Justice reawaken my Insomnia heart and then rewatched all of their mvs, variety shows, guestings, and other contents. Then I stumbled upon the MV of Reason. My eyes were very bloated and cried my eyes to the point of hurting my head because of it. I realized that this is the group I want in my life. A group that would help me through college, through hardships, and through life. They are the best group ever. Stan talent, stan Dreamcatcher.
I was watching Show Champion live that time. It was a complete surprise. We were all quite confident about the Show, and they won that as well, but this one? Totally out of left field. I projectile-cried. And I am a hardened metalhead. But these girls are so hard working and they always had to struggle, they truly deserved this. "Reason" is the fan-song for Dreamcatcher's 6th anniversary. I can't even begin to describe how proud I am of them. They're flexing their rock and vocal muscles, while all three rappers make an appearance. InSomnia might be lifting them up, but they should know, they are also carrying us. Happy 6th anniversary, Dreamcatcher! Can you imagine this song live? With us InSomnia going Whoooo-whoooaaa and them singing over it? 😊 I wouldn't be surprised if the animations were done by a fan, I seem to recognize the style. Whoever did them, they did a great job. I see the book from the Nightmare arc, the mask from Scream, the gun from R.o.S.E Blue, the gagged bust from Boca, the cup from Odd Eye, the hand through the mirror from Good Night and the clock from Piri. Musically, I am in heaven. I'm a metalhead and I love the song. AND THAT RIFF! 🤘🎸 Obviously the song is an absolute anthem!
One thousand nine hundred and twenty four days, that's how long it took them to get their first win. And the entire time they were never bitter about not winning, they were always very supportive and gracious to the people who did win and, in spite of not winning for so long, they were very thankful for the efforts InSomnia put in trying to get them a win. For a while they made it obvious that getting their first win was a big goal for them but towards the end they actually stopped mentioning it because they felt that they were putting too much pressure on InSomnia. Then, shortly thereafter, history happened.
I am not really notice REASON lyric in beginning, One day, I on my way by motorcycle with Dreamcatcher's song along. then, when REASON come, when I notice that part, "we are always with insomnia", at the moment after I heard they extend their conctract, the lyric hit really hard. I am crying 😭 what a beautiful story, personalities, songs, everthing about Dreamcatcher. I love Dreamcatcher, please always with InSomnia Deukae, and please InSomnia always with them.
DC is one of few who can make people cry with fast paced hard Rock song... Knowing the struggles they went through, InSomnias worldwide are so proud of what they have achieved... Jiu mentioned (half-jokingly) that if things didn't improve, CEO told them they can all go to countryside together and start cucumber farming... So glad you guys are coming along the journey with us... Your platform will always help DC get notoriety they deserve... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Pls watch their reaction (backstage) when they got the 1st win. It's on RUclips!!! The staffs said they were going to perform again on Show Champion, so they were just watching the screen waiting to be called to perform, and then POW 1st win. You can see the hope in their eyes and, at the same time, the fear. It hurts a lot, because we love them so much.
드림캐쳐의 첫승은 그전에 가능했습니다 그래도 끝까지 실망하지않고 오직 자신들만의 길을 걸어온 자랑스러운 최고의 그룹입니다 드림캐쳐로 데뷔후 1924일만이고 밍스시절까지 포함하면 2741일만입니다 말이 안되죠 첫승을 하는데 가장 오래 걸린 기록입니다 아마 인썸니아들은 모두 눈물을 흘렸을 것입니다 당시 팬데믹으로 관중이 없는게 조금 아쉬웠을 것입니다 첫승을 함께 했다면 아마 더 울었을 것 같네요😢 감동적인걸 보고싶다면 동화 special clip을 확인해주세요
Imagine 5 years winning nothing with a non mainstream music and still hardworking. I been following them since the beginning and I’m so proud, I cried a lot. They become the K-pop group that take most time to win, 1924 days after their debut. They deserve the world. I saw them last week in Barcelona and they are an increíble group and better persons.❤❤❤❤
I remember watching the win in potato quality on my phone on my lunch break at work. It was so amazing to finally see our girls with a trophy. A wonderful moment for dreamies and somnia. Maison isn't even my favourite title song, far from to be honest, but it'll always have a place in my heart for giving them their first win.
I know that we all adore all of our ladies, we acknowledge their hardships, determinations, and perserverances... But just for a reminder, we should honor everyone that supporting them too... From our kind CEO and wife, our brilliant producers and team, our exceptional performance director and team, our managers, our supporting staffs, and of course the lovely InSomnias around the world... We did it... We made a history... A girl group (I believe it is more "easier" to promote a boy group than a girl group, because arguably the most Kpop fans that willingly to vote and eager to be a die hard fans are mostly woman), from a relatively uncommon company, with a distinguish style of musics, persistently produced great songs, finally get their patience paid by getting the first win with the longest days to achieve since debut... Congratulations for all of us, Dreamcatcher ladies, Dreamcatcher Company, and InSomnia... 🎉
Minx have waited over 7 years for that moment , Dreamcatcher have been waiting over 5 years for that moment , the Tears of a Dreamcatcher are Precious , the Season of Cherry Blossom 🌸2022 it Rained Pink and White Petals , the fall of the Cherry Blossom Petals 🌸, is as the fall of the tears of the Dreamcatcher " catch the petal , catch the tear , catch the Dream and make a wish .
As someone who got introduced into Kpop through Twice, starting to venture into other artists music was exciting. I became an Insomnia shortly after Scream came out and it truly has changed my world for music. I’d grown up being a rock / metal person with a small hint of pop music mixed in, Dreamcatcher for me combined everything I liked and more in music. So much so that they became my favorite musical act. I was able to watch the episode of Show Champion live and was floored once they announced DC as the winners, I probably cried for about thirty minutes after hearing them perform and take the award. It showed that being different and sticking to yourself truly can make it in an industry where you’re considered an outsider or black sheep. No matter the hardship DC pushed through doing their best and finally succeeded. Now after 4 wins and multiple awards we as Insomnia can say they’ve done it. After Maison released I actually got to see DC live in LA as part of their Apocalypse Save Us World Tour, it was a blast seeing and hearing them live, they truly are a once in a lifetime artist. It will definitely go down as one of my favorite life experiences. Reason was icing on the cake, it’s such an amazing song. Was my favorite song of 2023 and still one of my all time favorites in their discography. They did another world tour after which I had to attend after the first experience, getting to listen to Reason live is truly a spectacle unlike anything, you can feel the emotions in the vocals and the true love for Insomnia. Thank you for the Amazing reactions to Dreamcatcher, keep up the Great work.
I’ll never forget this. It’s the first time I really voted for a group and the day they won I put in 15 votes right before the cut off! So happy they won. Long overdue.
There's also the amazing Fairytale, a very special b-side from the EP Apocalypse: Follow Us that was released as a Special Clip by DCC, to celebrate the anniversary of the first two wins. Whenever I listen to Siyeon's angelic voice in the end, my soul leaves and floats to space. Link: ruclips.net/video/_9A1eCgVliI/видео.htmlsi=XXoi-0htUV9M1I7T
I was actually at that concert with the really long lightstick , standing next to the guy, he kept adding extensions haha, it was so awesome to see that part in this mv Was a extra special concert, because they just extended their contract the day before :)
Unfortunately I wasn't there to see them succeed but I'm glad they did. It should of happened sooner but I'm glad it finally did. They deserve the world.
They have shared the stage with many Generations of idols , as the 5th gen idols enter the stage , the Flame of the Legendary Dreamcatcher , Burns 🔥 on
She is the Past , She is the Present , She is the Future , She is the Legend , Deja Vu , " She is and They are the first and always" , Legendary Dreamcatcher ❤🔥
To this day the post on r/kpop marking DC's first win is the third highest of all time, and the highest rated positive moment. Fun point of order about Reason - the rap parts mirror the rap line member progression of DC's earlier songs: First rap: Dami and Sua (Chase Me + Good Night) Second rap: Dami (Fly High -> What) Third rap: Gahyeon + Dami (Piri + Scream + BOCA)
By winning their first win, the former Minx members could start to let go of that part of their past. As you might or might not have realized, some members of Minx were traumatized by that entire experience, especially Siyeon (listen to "Paradise" to get a glimpse how bad she'd felt during the time of Minx) and Dami. For a long time within the fandom, mentioning or asking DC about Minx had been a taboo. It was after their first win, they started showing that they had made peace about the past and even had performed Love Shake ot7 style together. They are such good role models. Their success is hard earned and nothing they have achieved was ever handed to them easily. Yet many of their songs are about encouraging the listeners to rise above daily challenges and cherishing each other.
The most broken hearted would be Jiu and Sua along with all the members. Jiu is the leader, the burden on her shoulder for all the time relieved in a second, "rush of emotions" would be an understatement. Sua has been in the industry the longest, so yeah. During their 7th anniversary concert, insomnia shouted "we are always with Dreamcatcher" during the part. That was the most spine chilling moment in the concert and i cried again. Been crying to these videos repeatedly. I know it was 2 years ago, but still gets hit by emotions when watching it.
Think of the Symbol , Remember the Legend , say the Name " Dreamcatcher , Dreamcatcher , Dreamcatcher " , Now you also have the Strength and Courage of the Legendary Dreamcatcher 💪⚔
You can see their immediate reaction to the 1st win in I believe it was a Dreamcatcher Note, but there's also clips out there. You see it very briefly in Reason. It's fun to rewind and play each member's reaction because they were completely shocked and really weren't expecting it to happen.
The emotions.. When this was released ,lots of Somnias including me, cried twice... Once because of the song, and then realizing , we're in the music video.. The clips are showing the 2022 Europe Tour stops, and i can see myself in the crowd, like, i remember where i stood there so...YEAH.... And this time on current EU tour still happening, every city(i hope it continues) is changing the bridge lyrics to 'We're always with Dreamcatcher..." , to make the girls happy ^^ Dreamcatcher and Somnias are the best
The sheer amount of work that these ladies put in to finally get their 1st win. Even the staff were crying when they found out Dreamcatcher won. Reason just puts you through their whole journey to their 1st win. Being with them since day 1 from them promoting themselves on the streets to anyone that eould listen to how far they've come makes me so proud of them
At the time I was like 3 1/2 months into listening to K-Pop and being an InSomnia and I soaked up everything there was to know about them before that so even for me it was super emotional and I still get teary eyed watching this.
Reason live is a must watch and even more now that insomnia changed the lyrics to "We are always with Dreamcatcher" their faced always light up whenever they hear it ❤
There is an.... I think you can call it behind the scenes after their first win were they proved Dami is not a robot ❤ It's fun to watch cause our Dreamies talk about their feelings
I love how you put all three together. Like the members stated in the live, there was always a worry that Dreamcatcher would never get their first win. By coming so close with Deja Vu, we knew it was possible. By DREAMCATCHER getting a historic first win, KPop changed forever. To have InSomnias work so hard and give DREAMCATCHER their first win was euphoria. All that hardwork paid off in the end. There wouldn’t be InSomnias without DREAMCATCHER but also there wouldn’t be DREAMCATCHER without InSomnias. Then they released Reason. To hear that song live, DREAMCATCHER and InSomnias singing together after all we have been through is a magical moment to be a part of. Don’t worry, we all cried as well. Great reaction.
Newer InSomnia here seeing this video 2+ weeks late despite RUclips recommending it to me moments after it came out. I was like "seriously? You want me to bawl my eyes out right before work?" I then think I forgot about it until finding it again while binging their first win stuff earlier and yeah...bawled out grown man tears at 4am in the dark alone and absolutely not ashamed of it xD
I cry every time I re-watch the encore of their first win and Reason's MV. Knowing everything they've been through and how hard they've worked for this moment, you can't help but get emotional. After three years of being Insomnia, I will finally see them live on March 3rd in Lisbon. If anyone here is also going, get ready to see me cry my eyes out, specially during Reason haha
So many good ideas in Reason, the song actually their first song having 3 rappers, the first time JiU given strong high note belter (usually sweet/smooth), different flow of Dami's rap in one song, if I remember correctly the song also SuA's first high note head voice. First time having rap as prechorus too (usually starting slow and almost always involving JiU). The fact that all 7 members having a part up until first chorus also amazing, usually 1, 2, or even 3 members should wait until second verse or even last outro chorus for Handong in 괜찮아 (translated to "I'm okay" but the English title is "Trust Me"). The structure with kinda ballad in first verse and having Handong starting the line actually a cheat code. Also.. Reason was the first time their song having lead guitar being up in front, usually the rhythm being in front so many good things fr in Reason. Crunchy snare on drum, bass heavy in first verse, no questions on guitars, vocals arrangements, new parts (or role) for members.. the only complain was just.. the song wasn't being promoted to music show, which is understandable, but having that many masterpieces it'd be greater in music shows
Thank you for the reaction! Reason was the first song Dreamcatcher released after I found them, and this MV made me cry for days, and I don't think I had ever cried watching a music video before. They truly are a unique group, I mean how many artists can make you headbang and cry at the same time? ♥
Well, I didn't expect to cry this early today but here we are 😭 Fortunately I keep a piece of paper towel at my desk for these situations. The first win video will always get me, and watching Reason right after is a sure way to make sure that one does as well. A little detail I don't know if people usually notice is the little pink/purple bubbles that come together to form the hand all have the InSomnia logo inside 🥲
Firstly, I'm slightly surprised you didn't do the first 2 anniversary songs before Reason. Second, I am relatively new to Dreamcatcher like you. I got into them around almost a year ago. BON VOYAGE was just about to drop, and I caught music discussion content creator MicTheSnare's video on his own introduction to K-pop. DC was one of the first in the video and how they were described resonated with me and. Well! I have a personality that easily hyperfixates on whatever new interest comes my way, so... Here we are. 😅 it's been a delightful journey with y'all so far, seeing you both enjoy their music and the girls' personalities and styles and your live reactions to them (especially reactions to Dami 😂). I was there and helped them get their 3rd win, for Bon Voyage! Maybe next time y'all can help them get their 5th. :) Third, i want to make a note of something and hopefully i have the details correct. You may know, Ollounder and LEEZ were the primary composers for most of Dreamcatcher's stuff and are why the group have the sound that they do, but they were both considered independent producers. In 2022 LEEZ signed an exclusive contract with another company, and so ever since the mini-album Apocalypse: Follow Us he was no longer associated with them... except, for the song Reason - the 6th anniversary song and a song dedicated to the Dreamcatcher fanbase - LEEZ came back to co-compose it. I don't know much about music contracts and business stuff but to me, that's just so... 😢
Just from the title of the video we insomnia already know that we are going to end up crying, and you will cry no matter how long you have been in this fandom, their journey was so hard and they are so incredible... i'm glad that they never gave up, even if people constantly said such things like "if you want to win, change your concept" and i truly hope that they can keep doing what they love for many more years :'v ahh... ok.. i need to stop or i'll end crying again last... I recommend the series: BETWEEN DREAMCATCHER AND ME
🥲 thank you so much for your reaction as always and if you two want to laugh for like 10 minutes non stop i suggest their self mv SAHARA, break the wall and poison love (sadly only the SAHARA mv have the subtitles, break the wall don't have any and poison love has the subtitles "for the video" and not "for the song")
Somethings cannot be Searched for, only Discovered , the Season of Cherry Blossom 🌸 is the Time of Dreams , " the fall of the Cherry Blossom petal 🌸, is as the fall of the tear of the Dreamcatcher ". catch the petal 🌸 , catch the tear 💧 , catch the Dream and make a wish 🌠
Oh Im so glad I found your channel. I binged your series here with DC over the last two evenings, one of my all time favorite things to do when I need a cheer up is to find other people discovering Dreamcatcher for the first time and joining the ranks of InSomnia! Seeing how long it takes for you to become a fan, figuring out who your biases are and watching you discover our girls is just a joyful trip every time. I've yet to really find anybody who at *least* isn't impressed with their skill even if the music isn't to their tastes. A lot of people become listeners and even more become full blown InSomnia like you guys have. As has been said, you've been sucked into the dream now, and prepare yourselves, cause they are content queens and feed us fans so, so well. There's still so *much* for you guys to find, though! Dreamcatcher is the only group, both guys and gals, to have at least two releases a year since debut. They interact through lives and tiktok and insta, through special clips and behind the scenes. Their main youtube page has a playlist of all of the special clips, try to watch them from oldest to newest! They were really so very good right out of the gate, but you can still see growth and talent and skill through the years. Their special clips also frequently feature self made 'videos' for some of their b-sides, so you get a great chance to see them goof off as they are are naturally made to be, and can get a wonderful sense of them as people through those, too. Dreamcatcher Company (frequently shortened to DCC if you've not caught on to that in comments yet) is the most supportive company I can think of for them, letting them just....be them! What other company is going to let each individual member of a seven member group go through all of the writing and production steps to record individual solos in whatever style the members want, AND release said songs on their album? Sure, other companies will let their group artists do solos and subunit groups, but those things are often kept to themselves, not released as part of the main group releases. That still blows my mind. You'll also find in those special clips that Dreamcatcher doesn't do the sub-unit thing, there's no 'official' one whatsoever, they just do things as they want to with who they had an idea to do a thing with. Sua wants to do some choreo with Jiu and Yoohyeon? Okay! How about one with Dami? Okay too! Handong wants to translate things to Chinese and do a special video? Yep! (Who supports their international members like that? For real if you know another one let me know.) Solo, self written songs. Covers of other groups, covers of others solo. All so fun and so good! After that and before wandering into the world of variety show performances they've done, which are often pure chaos and they do a lot of games for food, I always recommend watching Between Dreamcatcher And Me, a series of interviews they did with the members minus Handong since it was during Scream and BOCA, talking about themselves and to us fans. Keep kleenix in the room though! ruclips.net/p/PLmNaKWy1cIoEbPBSZdxbBix6Ai_XQX_j-&si=zbhfJuDpczRROjjb Anything of insomnicty you should keep watching, they're definitely InSomnia favorites and even the girls have watched them, and Yoohyeon did a reaction video herself! Yoohyeon also kinda seems to master their tiktok and there's some hilarious stuff there, especially when it's our 97 Line (Someone save Dami). And then, in case you'd like a bit of uh...well. Sapphic murder scene, find their relay dance version of Brown Eyed Girls song Abaracadabra. ruclips.net/video/ofwFr8o8p0Y/видео.html goes to their video. If you don't know who BEG are, they're an older gen group who started bubblegum, and then were one of the founding groups of GIrl Krush subgenera, some of the first queens out the door showing that the women in kpop could be sexy, too. Abaracadabra caused some controversy for the dance (Known as the 'The Arrogant Dance') at the time of its release, and when I saw that for whatever *random reason* Dreamcatcher decided to slay us all and did the relay dance??? Well there's a lot of reaction videos out there for it too and you'll understand if you do, lol. Here's that one, it's from M2, their other relays are worth watching for how damn funny they always are. ruclips.net/video/S0-AJT9IPcY/видео.htmlsi=Qq8Wd2LI8OdZZ2Om I'm going too be expecting to see you guys soon! Welcome to InSomnia, you've shed your required tears, here's your cloak and lightstaff. XD
Dreamcatcher - Polaris . a time they had no light stick and no first win and not popular in korea and no handong . 191027 드림캐쳐 직캠 Dreamcatcher In Milan - Polaris (SO SAD AND EMOTIONAL) [FANCAM by JulyNator Channel]
I think I mentioned before that im not really a fan of rock so at first i wasnt sure what to think of the grp, it intrigued me bc it was so diff from the rest of kpop i knew but it was a sound i wasnt into. I decided to give them a chance and im so glad i did, i may not have joined in from the very start but i did live a lot of those memories with the girls and somnias through the years, that first win meant a lot to all of us and we all agree it should've happened sooner but we're so grateful it did come Theres a clip of their initial reaction to the win on Dreamcatcher's Note (and a part of it's in Reason) but just before it was announced you can see that they dont look like theyre anticipating anything, they had no expectations of winning anymore and that in itself hurts to see and know as a fan, knowing how hard they work everyday and that they did not expect to receive any recognition for it I'm brazilian so my timezones are the complete opposite of korea, i rmb waking up in the morning and alr seeing the clips and tweets of the first win, I rmb rewatching the speech over and over while not leaving my bed bc i was crying so much, im so proud of how far we've come and now i really want to see them in concert bc the last time they were here i wasnt a somnia yet 😢
I love going down DC memory lane with yall. Thanks for making me cry again. Lol I still remember the moment they won. I stayed up late watching the livestream so my sleep deprived self did not comprehend that they had won even as their mv showed on the screen. It wasn’t until they came out bawling their thanks that it finally hit me and the tears came down. 😭 It was like a huge weight lifted off all of us. All those hours spent voting for them finally paid off. We struggled just as much as them. Someone else linked the video of their reaction from backstage. The fact that they didn’t think they were going to win still breaks my heart. They were too conditioned to not expect to win. They definitely changed that attitude after this. You should react to their other fan songs “Full Moon” and “Over the Sky”. They’re fun songs to show InSomnia their appreciation, of course “Reason” is their ultimate fan song. Thank you for your reactions!
Just doing my normal cruising through YT one day and saw a thumbnail and caption that said something about Dreamcatcher's First Win...I ignored it because DC NEVER wins those shows, plus some of the channels that are in my side queue are 'questionable' with their stupid click-bait titles. I continued watching a video, found another video to watch, clicked on it and THERE WERE THREE MORE thumbnails, all DIFFERENT CHANNELS, claiming DC got the First Win!? I had INSTANT tears, I had to take a break before even watching one of those. Just hoping against hope that it was real...OMG. I watched everything I could find about the win and their reactions! Then I started seeing thumbnails for reactions to their First Win...cried every time I saw a reaction (this time, too, with YOUR reactions). SO HEART-BROKEN and SO PROUD of these ladies and this group and this company all at the same time... They won AGAIN for the same song just a day or two later, and then their promotions came to an end. They got TWO SEPARATE WINS for that song! They did not win for 'Vision', which is another crime perpetrated by the Industry, and then the girls went on tour. It was a while before they had another MV release because they had toured so much. That tour is when DC became the very first K-Pop Group to go to a HUGE festival in Spain, Primavera Sound. They ALMOST MISSED that concert because of shitty weather in Germany messing with their Commercial Flight, but Primavera sent a Private Jet to pick them up and bring them to Spain! Otherwise they would have had to take a 6-hour drive and would have missed the event. Then Reason came out... Then FINALLY 'Bon Voyage' hit and ALSO got 2 wins, bringing their Grand Total to 4 that I know of, so far (le al HOPE for many more)...
Ah man, their first win. I remember clearly waking up and opening RUclips and multiple videos of them showing up. I was looking at the screen for a few seconds in shock and started crying even before watching it. I was sobbing and screaming and jumping around the house at 7 am😂 What a moment as a fan. I never thought that I would feel so connected with a group like this! All the 5 years of fighting, it's crazy to think about their journey to their 1st win, then 2,3,4.... and many more to come! 🩶
The normal pattern with music shows is that the first win almost always happens with the debut song or within one year after debut. With Dreamcatcher it was five years of coming close, but always disappointment and then the fraud that happened with Deja Vu, their masterpiece. The simplest way to gauge the impact of the win on them is this. Dami cried. Dami never cries. Dami cried.
I'm surprised nobody gave you the link to their Dreamcatcher's Note for the behind-the-scenes look at their reaction when their win was announced. Here it is: ruclips.net/video/93FSJDOV-PM/видео.htmlsi=UTivTPiRENPoYIl7 timestamp 7:49. At the beginning you can also see they also won a poll to have their waiting room decorated that day lol.
I was a baby somnia during Maison era, Literally my first ever comeback and I was bawling watching their first win. They are the first ever kpop group I ever voted for on things like music show but it's all worth the time and effort 😭
I watched this live and even I was suprised how hard it hit me when it happened. I'd been following them so long, and knew how much they wanted it and I was yelling like a crazy person when it finally happened.
1st win, with MAISON, that can be arrange as SOMNIA, that has lyric "please someone fight for us" and "be my side", while other comment said some of other fandom help Dreamcatcher for this moment, be somnia side fight for this precious moment. I really like their story, it's definitely a journey, worth as movie, I hope Dreamcatcher will be known as legend after years.
Seeing the journey these girls have been through, really warms my heart. Been an insomnia since Maison era, so i was able to experience their first win. And once i got to really know them as a group and individually, that first win hit even more. And the first time I watched Reason when it came out, it was like the first thing I watched the morning I woke up that day, and i was in tears.
hearing them sing this live at their concert was just phenomenal! the whole concert hall synced up for the Whoa-oh-oh, i'm a 30 year old man and it bought tears to my eyes! absolutely amazing live!
dreamcatcher \:D/ it was a long road only made possible by a series of good fortune. in an industry where the darker side is revealed from time to time, how likely would it have been for a ceo to double down on a failed group. it's easy to stay together when things are good, but I don't think many are like jiu who kept a cheerful outlook and kept everyone together because siyeon even said it was because of jiu that she didn't quit.
I swear when i see then in concert, i will cry 24/7 lmao they have lifted me up so many times, in hard times, and i have worked hard trying to get them wins/awards, my favorites of all time, no one does it like Dreamcatcher ❤
the Tears of a Dreamcatcher are Precious , in the Season of the Cherry Blossom 🌸 , the fall of the Cherry Blossom Petals 🌸, is as the fall of the tears of the Dreamcatcher " , catch the petal , catch the tear , catch the Dream and make a wish . those who are Blessed by Dreamcatcher , always have a Dream . when it's Fate , there is no coincidence
Love your reaction, finally, you reach for "REASON". That really an emotional roller coaster You've been witnessing their passion, get ready for some spice and energy Recommendation: Red Sun and Wind Blows
It’s true that DC would have continued to be successful without one, but wins are crucial in kpop for non-music reasons like brand deals and CFs (where a lot more financial growth opportunities are available)-now they have two Neogen promos, a fashion ad, JiU’s Coach deal etc., which likely wouldn’t have happened without the industry legitimacy conferred by a win. Of all kpop groups with a win, it took Dreamcatcher the longest time to get there from debut-over 1800 days (Brave Girls technically took longer, but had major lineup changes so they’re an odd case), so it must have been incredibly disheartening to have been passed up for opportunities that other groups of comparable success and seniority took for granted!
"Reason" - This great fan song has now been performed live several times. Most recently a few days ago (02/23/2024) in Offenbach - Germany). Unfortunately no official video. I therefore recommend checking out DC's performance in Saudi Arabia (on Mnet K-POP). It's live and it's great.
I’m crying so much this timeee I feel like it was a dream???!! I love deukae so much we all so happy that finally Dreamcatcher got their 1st win for Maison!!
I really wanna watch this now cause I love your reactions, but given I can't go to the Dreamcatcher concert today cause I'm sick... probably not the best time to watch Reason, I'm gonna be bawling :(
We're sorry to hear that. Please make sure to prioritize yourself first! If you ever decide you're ready to watch our reaction it will still be here for you ♥🖤 We hope you feel better soon.
I shouldn’t have watched this while being hormonal because I cried even more than I usually do. One thing that I’ll never question is how much Dreamcatcher loves Insomnia 😭❤️
I Love Dreamcatcher FOREVER. They're talented, awesome, kind and really great idols. I cried during the first win video and i am proud to be one of many InSomnia.
I saw this video on my recommendations, the feels immediately came and I was planning to go get my eyes checked. So I patiently did all my eye exams and came back home as fast as possible so I can see yall's reactions, cause I wanted to re live this precious memory with you both, I was in tears the entire time. I wasn't an InSomnia at the time but I was learning about their story just like you two and its so heartbreaking to see these kind, sweetest, talented, persevering, hardworking women finally achieve the dreams they've all been working so hard for all these years including all the hard work from DCC staff, InSomnia, and everyone who helped along the way. Finally gave them the push that they needed to get their 1st win :'). Thank you so much for reacting to such an important moment for a lot of us InSomnias. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!
REASON is really a very good song, they doesn't need a sad melody and rhythm, by still showing a rock song they can still make all InSomnia feel emotional. Thank you for REASON reaction ❤
There’s a clip from their first win, just before the winner is announced, and it’s the most heartbreaking thing, because they’re not nervous or tense, or anticipatory or happy or sad, because they have no expectation of winning. They never win, they’re not even imagining it in the moment. Just crushing. Also, when Dreamcatcher performs Reason in concert, the thing now when they get to “being with insomnia”, the crowd sings “being with Dreamcatcher” forever back to them.
The staff told Dreamcatcher they were going to record something after the live was over as an excuse to get them into the wings without letting on why they were really there. ruclips.net/video/SOAmF7RwFkk/видео.htmlsi=pTfNMWfvB-ZvUYIv
That's so heartbreaking. The fact that they didn't even think it was a possibility at that point. I bet there's not a single dry eye in the concert venue whenever Reason is performed 😭
@@NewChapterReactions Up till then I believe the count was 1,923 days since Dreamcatcher's debut, making the finals of music shows 13 times, coming in 2nd place seven of those, zero wins. It's actually a happy story if you carry on to the next week when they got their second win; completely opposite vibes all smiles. Everyone was prepared with something to say that time including Handong with her Mandarin speech and Yoohyeon's infamous hand speech in English. The best part, remember Dodging Disbandment and all the fishy stuff when it seemed like they should have won for Deja Vu in 2019? Their 2nd win was on that show, by 14 points ruclips.net/video/Mj22cIDvDYc/видео.htmlsi=igD9sx0rG1yvGO1p.
I went to a Dreamcatcher concert in may here in Finland. When they sang Reason, I cried. And like you said about the part ''We are always with insomnia'', us fans shouted ''We are always with Dreamcatcher''. The girls reaction was so cute ❤
And I appear shortly in the Reason mv when they show pics from their tours !! I was quite front so you can see me in the picture. In the MV at 3:02 and here @17:26
Fun fact, music shows dont typically have groups sing their entire song for their encore. Props for show champ for letting the girls live in the moment and let them sing Maison in it's entirety 🥹
Yeah they usually cut off after the second verse or so, especially with groups who have had multiple wins, but everyone knew how hard Dreamcatcher worked for that win and they ran that song all the way through and had time at the end. It's really a testament to the Show Champion staff that kept those cameras rolling as long as they did. A 5 minute encore performance? Practically unheard of as of recent.
Supposedly the show staff were all crying too.
We didn't even realize! We were so caught up in the performance, but you're right!! We've only ever seen full encore stages by seeing different fancams from the audience.
4:12 This moment was 5 years in the making, 5 years of hard work, 5 years of asking themselves, “when is it gonna be our time?”. This makes me cry EVERY TIME. Working so long and everyone at the company putting all their trust in them to achieve their goals and after 5 whole years being able to give payback that trust with a single trophy. It’s so much
We're so happy that they were able to achieve what they have. You can seriously feel the release of emotion from each and every one of them 😭
More than 5 years since Dreamcatcher's 2017 debut for Han Dong and Gahyeon, and even longer for the Minx members, more than 7 years without a win (2014).
one of the really touching things about this first win is that a bunch of other fandoms decided to help out and voted with us in order to give the girls the win. You rarely see such friendship and coaporation between k-pop fandoms.
i think it also speaks a lot about dreamcatcher as a group when even the music show staff was crying out of happiness for them T.T our kindhearted working girls, i will never not be emotional watching their first win
It absolutely does! Such a united family, everyone involved, showing so much love and care 🥺🥺❤️
On that day I stayed up till 3AM my time to watch show champion. That day EVERY Insomnia was confident that Dreamcatcher will finally get their win.. and they did. Once I heard their name I started BAWLING with them and that’s a moment I’ll always treasure. I might have only gotten into Dc in 2021 but I’m so happy that I was able to experience their first win with them, because this win was the huge break that they needed🥲 I still cry whenever it comes up
Such a sweet memory you get to have, though ❤️
The interesting fact is that this song was released after they all renewed their contracts with the agency, if it was released before the renewed contract, InSonmia might have thought this was a farewell song before disbanding and we might have cried our hearts out.
One of the most wonderful things about the first win is that fans from several other groups, particularly Loona, made a point of voting for Dreamcatcher on Show Champion to push them over the top to make sure they got their first win with Maison. REASON was released for their sixth anniversary - and on the first January Friday the 13th since their debut. (The next one is in January 2034).
Yeah the honesty really took me aback in "Reason". They were like "yeah we're thankful to our fans because this journey has been REALLY f^cking hard" and I appreciate that sincerity. It just makes me want to support them more!
4:28 Handong is just about to start her speech in Mandarin when the music cuts her off, forever cementing the Holding This Pain meme as the 8th member of Dreamcatcher.
Yep, but she got to say it in the 2nd win as well as Yoohyeons English speech
Forgot my boy Moonbin was there for their first win 😢 I'm not ready to hear Reason live next week,like I'm gonna bawl and I'll be a mess then meeting them 🥹🥹 Reason always hits me,with the different eras outfits and the Insomnia at the end 🥹💜 Seen them grow since their debut and they keep growing
I can't imagine hearing it live especially if you've been following them through so many of their hardships. I'm sure it's a beautiful moment (make sure to pack a tissue or two 😭)
I had thought the same thing, I was pretty heart broken when I saw him as mc, I was never a true fan of Astro but did always appreciate their musics style. Rip Moonbin
Same. Seeing Moonbin made that video even more emotional. Rip Moonbin 😢
I discovered Dreamcatcher exactly 3 years ago by the time I'm typing this. It was BEcause era. I immediately loved them and their music due to the fact that it is the most unique sound in kpop. I wasn't ulting them though. I witnessed their 1st win in my 1st comeback as an insomnia, there I cried my bawls out. I took a break on kpop during the year 2023 so I haven't really got into Bon Voyage (although I heard it once) and OOTD. Justice reawaken my Insomnia heart and then rewatched all of their mvs, variety shows, guestings, and other contents. Then I stumbled upon the MV of Reason. My eyes were very bloated and cried my eyes to the point of hurting my head because of it. I realized that this is the group I want in my life. A group that would help me through college, through hardships, and through life. They are the best group ever. Stan talent, stan Dreamcatcher.
I was watching Show Champion live that time. It was a complete surprise. We were all quite confident about the Show, and they won that as well, but this one? Totally out of left field. I projectile-cried. And I am a hardened metalhead. But these girls are so hard working and they always had to struggle, they truly deserved this.
"Reason" is the fan-song for Dreamcatcher's 6th anniversary. I can't even begin to describe how proud I am of them. They're flexing their rock and vocal muscles, while all three rappers make an appearance. InSomnia might be lifting them up, but they should know, they are also carrying us. Happy 6th anniversary, Dreamcatcher!
Can you imagine this song live? With us InSomnia going Whoooo-whoooaaa and them singing over it? 😊
I wouldn't be surprised if the animations were done by a fan, I seem to recognize the style. Whoever did them, they did a great job. I see the book from the Nightmare arc, the mask from Scream, the gun from R.o.S.E Blue, the gagged bust from Boca, the cup from Odd Eye, the hand through the mirror from Good Night and the clock from Piri.
Musically, I am in heaven. I'm a metalhead and I love the song. AND THAT RIFF! 🤘🎸 Obviously the song is an absolute anthem!
One thousand nine hundred and twenty four days, that's how long it took them to get their first win. And the entire time they were never bitter about not winning, they were always very supportive and gracious to the people who did win and, in spite of not winning for so long, they were very thankful for the efforts InSomnia put in trying to get them a win.
For a while they made it obvious that getting their first win was a big goal for them but towards the end they actually stopped mentioning it because they felt that they were putting too much pressure on InSomnia. Then, shortly thereafter, history happened.
I am not really notice REASON lyric in beginning,
One day, I on my way by motorcycle with Dreamcatcher's song along.
then, when REASON come, when I notice that part, "we are always with insomnia",
at the moment after I heard they extend their conctract, the lyric hit really hard.
I am crying 😭
what a beautiful story, personalities, songs, everthing about Dreamcatcher.
I love Dreamcatcher, please always with InSomnia Deukae,
and please InSomnia always with them.
I cry every time I listen to Reason! Even hearing the beginning makes me get all choked up lol
We can see why 😭❤️
DC is one of few who can make people cry with fast paced hard Rock song... Knowing the struggles they went through, InSomnias worldwide are so proud of what they have achieved... Jiu mentioned (half-jokingly) that if things didn't improve, CEO told them they can all go to countryside together and start cucumber farming...
So glad you guys are coming along the journey with us... Your platform will always help DC get notoriety they deserve... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Pls watch their reaction (backstage) when they got the 1st win. It's on RUclips!!! The staffs said they were going to perform again on Show Champion, so they were just watching the screen waiting to be called to perform, and then POW 1st win.
You can see the hope in their eyes and, at the same time, the fear. It hurts a lot, because we love them so much.
드림캐쳐의 첫승은 그전에 가능했습니다 그래도 끝까지 실망하지않고 오직 자신들만의 길을 걸어온 자랑스러운 최고의 그룹입니다 드림캐쳐로 데뷔후 1924일만이고 밍스시절까지 포함하면 2741일만입니다 말이 안되죠 첫승을 하는데 가장 오래 걸린 기록입니다
아마 인썸니아들은 모두 눈물을 흘렸을 것입니다 당시 팬데믹으로 관중이 없는게 조금 아쉬웠을 것입니다 첫승을 함께 했다면 아마 더 울었을 것 같네요😢 감동적인걸 보고싶다면 동화 special clip을 확인해주세요
Imagine 5 years winning nothing with a non mainstream music and still hardworking. I been following them since the beginning and I’m so proud, I cried a lot. They become the K-pop group that take most time to win, 1924 days after their debut. They deserve the world. I saw them last week in Barcelona and they are an increíble group and better persons.❤❤❤❤
I remember watching the win in potato quality on my phone on my lunch break at work. It was so amazing to finally see our girls with a trophy. A wonderful moment for dreamies and somnia. Maison isn't even my favourite title song, far from to be honest, but it'll always have a place in my heart for giving them their first win.
I know that we all adore all of our ladies, we acknowledge their hardships, determinations, and perserverances...
But just for a reminder, we should honor everyone that supporting them too...
From our kind CEO and wife, our brilliant producers and team, our exceptional performance director and team, our managers, our supporting staffs, and of course the lovely InSomnias around the world...
We did it...
We made a history...
A girl group (I believe it is more "easier" to promote a boy group than a girl group, because arguably the most Kpop fans that willingly to vote and eager to be a die hard fans are mostly woman), from a relatively uncommon company, with a distinguish style of musics, persistently produced great songs, finally get their patience paid by getting the first win with the longest days to achieve since debut...
Congratulations for all of us, Dreamcatcher ladies, Dreamcatcher Company, and InSomnia... 🎉

As someone who got introduced into Kpop through Twice, starting to venture into other artists music was exciting. I became an Insomnia shortly after Scream came out and it truly has changed my world for music. I’d grown up being a rock / metal person with a small hint of pop music mixed in, Dreamcatcher for me combined everything I liked and more in music. So much so that they became my favorite musical act. I was able to watch the episode of Show Champion live and was floored once they announced DC as the winners, I probably cried for about thirty minutes after hearing them perform and take the award. It showed that being different and sticking to yourself truly can make it in an industry where you’re considered an outsider or black sheep. No matter the hardship DC pushed through doing their best and finally succeeded. Now after 4 wins and multiple awards we as Insomnia can say they’ve done it. After Maison released I actually got to see DC live in LA as part of their Apocalypse Save Us World Tour, it was a blast seeing and hearing them live, they truly are a once in a lifetime artist. It will definitely go down as one of my favorite life experiences. Reason was icing on the cake, it’s such an amazing song. Was my favorite song of 2023 and still one of my all time favorites in their discography. They did another world tour after which I had to attend after the first experience, getting to listen to Reason live is truly a spectacle unlike anything, you can feel the emotions in the vocals and the true love for Insomnia. Thank you for the Amazing reactions to Dreamcatcher, keep up the Great work.
I cried so much that I didn't even sleep the night of the vote, they deserved so much.
I’ll never forget this. It’s the first time I really voted for a group and the day they won I put in 15 votes right before the cut off! So happy they won. Long overdue.
Same here. Very first time to vote for kpop group 🎉
And I’m crying again 😂 both of these hit me so hard individually I can’t even imagine experiencing it back to back like that kudos 😊
It was… a lot. 😅😭 but we wouldn’t have wanted to do it any other way!
I love their first beatboxing moment. I still feel for this moment every time I see it.
It'll be two years since the win in April and still - every time without fail...
Thanks for inviting us along as always.
WAIT WHAT WDYM TWO YEARS OMFG
There's also the amazing Fairytale, a very special b-side from the EP Apocalypse: Follow Us that was released as a Special Clip by DCC, to celebrate the anniversary of the first two wins. Whenever I listen to Siyeon's angelic voice in the end, my soul leaves and floats to space. Link: ruclips.net/video/_9A1eCgVliI/видео.htmlsi=XXoi-0htUV9M1I7T
I was actually at that concert with the really long lightstick , standing next to the guy, he kept adding extensions haha, it was so awesome to see that part in this mv
Was a extra special concert, because they just extended their contract the day before :)
Unfortunately I wasn't there to see them succeed but I'm glad they did. It should of happened sooner but I'm glad it finally did. They deserve the world.
Can you have 2 Dreamcatcher clips per week?😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

No matter how many times I watch the Reason MV, I bawl my eyes out Every Single Time.
To this day the post on r/kpop marking DC's first win is the third highest of all time, and the highest rated positive moment.
Fun point of order about Reason - the rap parts mirror the rap line member progression of DC's earlier songs:
First rap: Dami and Sua (Chase Me + Good Night)
Second rap: Dami (Fly High -> What)
Third rap: Gahyeon + Dami (Piri + Scream + BOCA)
By winning their first win, the former Minx members could start to let go of that part of their past. As you might or might not have realized, some members of Minx were traumatized by that entire experience, especially Siyeon (listen to "Paradise" to get a glimpse how bad she'd felt during the time of Minx) and Dami. For a long time within the fandom, mentioning or asking DC about Minx had been a taboo. It was after their first win, they started showing that they had made peace about the past and even had performed Love Shake ot7 style together.
They are such good role models. Their success is hard earned and nothing they have achieved was ever handed to them easily. Yet many of their songs are about encouraging the listeners to rise above daily challenges and cherishing each other.
The most broken hearted would be Jiu and Sua along with all the members. Jiu is the leader, the burden on her shoulder for all the time relieved in a second, "rush of emotions" would be an understatement. Sua has been in the industry the longest, so yeah.
During their 7th anniversary concert, insomnia shouted "we are always with Dreamcatcher" during the part. That was the most spine chilling moment in the concert and i cried again.
Been crying to these videos repeatedly. I know it was 2 years ago, but still gets hit by emotions when watching it.
Thank you so much for reacting to all of Dreamcatcher journy, they deserve all our love and this reaction was that and more
Think of the Symbol ,
Remember the Legend ,
say the Name " Dreamcatcher , Dreamcatcher , Dreamcatcher " ,
Now you also have the Strength and Courage of the Legendary Dreamcatcher 💪⚔
Dreamcatcher have worked so hard over the years. I will cry every time I see anything related to their first win
They absolutely deserved that moment 🫶
You can see their immediate reaction to the 1st win in I believe it was a Dreamcatcher Note, but there's also clips out there. You see it very briefly in Reason. It's fun to rewind and play each member's reaction because they were completely shocked and really weren't expecting it to happen.
OK, it's at 7:48 in "(ENG) [Dreamcatcher's Note] 'MAISON' 활동 비하인드 4편"
Please react dreamcatcher with their staff part 1 and 2. Is amazing.
The emotions.. When this was released ,lots of Somnias including me, cried twice... Once because of the song, and then realizing , we're in the music video.. The clips are showing the 2022 Europe Tour stops, and i can see myself in the crowd, like, i remember where i stood there so...YEAH....
And this time on current EU tour still happening, every city(i hope it continues) is changing the bridge lyrics to 'We're always with Dreamcatcher..." , to make the girls happy ^^
Dreamcatcher and Somnias are the best
The sheer amount of work that these ladies put in to finally get their 1st win. Even the staff were crying when they found out Dreamcatcher won.
Reason just puts you through their whole journey to their 1st win. Being with them since day 1 from them promoting themselves on the streets to anyone that eould listen to how far they've come makes me so proud of them
At the time I was like 3 1/2 months into listening to K-Pop and being an InSomnia and I soaked up everything there was to know about them before that so even for me it was super emotional and I still get teary eyed watching this.
Reason live is a must watch and even more now that insomnia changed the lyrics to "We are always with Dreamcatcher" their faced always light up whenever they hear it ❤
There is an.... I think you can call it behind the scenes after their first win were they proved Dami is not a robot ❤
It's fun to watch cause our Dreamies talk about their feelings
I love how you put all three together. Like the members stated in the live, there was always a worry that Dreamcatcher would never get their first win. By coming so close with Deja Vu, we knew it was possible. By DREAMCATCHER getting a historic first win, KPop changed forever. To have InSomnias work so hard and give DREAMCATCHER their first win was euphoria. All that hardwork paid off in the end. There wouldn’t be InSomnias without DREAMCATCHER but also there wouldn’t be DREAMCATCHER without InSomnias. Then they released Reason. To hear that song live, DREAMCATCHER and InSomnias singing together after all we have been through is a magical moment to be a part of. Don’t worry, we all cried as well. Great reaction.
Newer InSomnia here seeing this video 2+ weeks late despite RUclips recommending it to me moments after it came out. I was like "seriously? You want me to bawl my eyes out right before work?" I then think I forgot about it until finding it again while binging their first win stuff earlier and yeah...bawled out grown man tears at 4am in the dark alone and absolutely not ashamed of it xD
I cry every time I re-watch the encore of their first win and Reason's MV. Knowing everything they've been through and how hard they've worked for this moment, you can't help but get emotional.
After three years of being Insomnia, I will finally see them live on March 3rd in Lisbon. If anyone here is also going, get ready to see me cry my eyes out, specially during Reason haha
So many good ideas in Reason, the song actually their first song having 3 rappers, the first time JiU given strong high note belter (usually sweet/smooth), different flow of Dami's rap in one song, if I remember correctly the song also SuA's first high note head voice. First time having rap as prechorus too (usually starting slow and almost always involving JiU). The fact that all 7 members having a part up until first chorus also amazing, usually 1, 2, or even 3 members should wait until second verse or even last outro chorus for Handong in 괜찮아 (translated to "I'm okay" but the English title is "Trust Me").
The structure with kinda ballad in first verse and having Handong starting the line actually a cheat code.
Also.. Reason was the first time their song having lead guitar being up in front, usually the rhythm being in front so many good things fr in Reason. Crunchy snare on drum, bass heavy in first verse, no questions on guitars, vocals arrangements, new parts (or role) for members.. the only complain was just.. the song wasn't being promoted to music show, which is understandable, but having that many masterpieces it'd be greater in music shows
Thank you for the reaction! Reason was the first song Dreamcatcher released after I found them, and this MV made me cry for days, and I don't think I had ever cried watching a music video before. They truly are a unique group, I mean how many artists can make you headbang and cry at the same time? ♥
Well, I didn't expect to cry this early today but here we are 😭 Fortunately I keep a piece of paper towel at my desk for these situations. The first win video will always get me, and watching Reason right after is a sure way to make sure that one does as well. A little detail I don't know if people usually notice is the little pink/purple bubbles that come together to form the hand all have the InSomnia logo inside 🥲
Firstly, I'm slightly surprised you didn't do the first 2 anniversary songs before Reason.
Second, I am relatively new to Dreamcatcher like you. I got into them around almost a year ago. BON VOYAGE was just about to drop, and I caught music discussion content creator MicTheSnare's video on his own introduction to K-pop. DC was one of the first in the video and how they were described resonated with me and. Well! I have a personality that easily hyperfixates on whatever new interest comes my way, so... Here we are. 😅 it's been a delightful journey with y'all so far, seeing you both enjoy their music and the girls' personalities and styles and your live reactions to them (especially reactions to Dami 😂). I was there and helped them get their 3rd win, for Bon Voyage! Maybe next time y'all can help them get their 5th. :)
Third, i want to make a note of something and hopefully i have the details correct. You may know, Ollounder and LEEZ were the primary composers for most of Dreamcatcher's stuff and are why the group have the sound that they do, but they were both considered independent producers. In 2022 LEEZ signed an exclusive contract with another company, and so ever since the mini-album Apocalypse: Follow Us he was no longer associated with them... except, for the song Reason - the 6th anniversary song and a song dedicated to the Dreamcatcher fanbase - LEEZ came back to co-compose it. I don't know much about music contracts and business stuff but to me, that's just so... 😢

Just from the title of the video we insomnia already know that we are going to end up crying, and you will cry no matter how long you have been in this fandom, their journey was so hard and they are so incredible... i'm glad that they never gave up, even if people constantly said such things like "if you want to win, change your concept" and i truly hope that they can keep doing what they love for many more years :'v ahh... ok.. i need to stop or i'll end crying again last... I recommend the series: BETWEEN DREAMCATCHER AND ME
🥲 thank you so much for your reaction as always and if you two want to laugh for like 10 minutes non stop i suggest their self mv SAHARA, break the wall and poison love (sadly only the SAHARA mv have the subtitles, break the wall don't have any and poison love has the subtitles "for the video" and not "for the song")
Somethings cannot be Searched for,

Oh Im so glad I found your channel. I binged your series here with DC over the last two evenings, one of my all time favorite things to do when I need a cheer up is to find other people discovering Dreamcatcher for the first time and joining the ranks of InSomnia! Seeing how long it takes for you to become a fan, figuring out who your biases are and watching you discover our girls is just a joyful trip every time. I've yet to really find anybody who at *least* isn't impressed with their skill even if the music isn't to their tastes. A lot of people become listeners and even more become full blown InSomnia like you guys have. As has been said, you've been sucked into the dream now, and prepare yourselves, cause they are content queens and feed us fans so, so well.
There's still so *much* for you guys to find, though! Dreamcatcher is the only group, both guys and gals, to have at least two releases a year since debut. They interact through lives and tiktok and insta, through special clips and behind the scenes. Their main youtube page has a playlist of all of the special clips, try to watch them from oldest to newest! They were really so very good right out of the gate, but you can still see growth and talent and skill through the years. Their special clips also frequently feature self made 'videos' for some of their b-sides, so you get a great chance to see them goof off as they are are naturally made to be, and can get a wonderful sense of them as people through those, too. Dreamcatcher Company (frequently shortened to DCC if you've not caught on to that in comments yet) is the most supportive company I can think of for them, letting them just....be them! What other company is going to let each individual member of a seven member group go through all of the writing and production steps to record individual solos in whatever style the members want, AND release said songs on their album? Sure, other companies will let their group artists do solos and subunit groups, but those things are often kept to themselves, not released as part of the main group releases. That still blows my mind. You'll also find in those special clips that Dreamcatcher doesn't do the sub-unit thing, there's no 'official' one whatsoever, they just do things as they want to with who they had an idea to do a thing with. Sua wants to do some choreo with Jiu and Yoohyeon? Okay! How about one with Dami? Okay too! Handong wants to translate things to Chinese and do a special video? Yep! (Who supports their international members like that? For real if you know another one let me know.)
Solo, self written songs. Covers of other groups, covers of others solo. All so fun and so good! After that and before wandering into the world of variety show performances they've done, which are often pure chaos and they do a lot of games for food, I always recommend watching Between Dreamcatcher And Me, a series of interviews they did with the members minus Handong since it was during Scream and BOCA, talking about themselves and to us fans. Keep kleenix in the room though! ruclips.net/p/PLmNaKWy1cIoEbPBSZdxbBix6Ai_XQX_j-&si=zbhfJuDpczRROjjb
Anything of insomnicty you should keep watching, they're definitely InSomnia favorites and even the girls have watched them, and Yoohyeon did a reaction video herself! Yoohyeon also kinda seems to master their tiktok and there's some hilarious stuff there, especially when it's our 97 Line (Someone save Dami). And then, in case you'd like a bit of uh...well. Sapphic murder scene, find their relay dance version of Brown Eyed Girls song Abaracadabra. ruclips.net/video/ofwFr8o8p0Y/видео.html goes to their video. If you don't know who BEG are, they're an older gen group who started bubblegum, and then were one of the founding groups of GIrl Krush subgenera, some of the first queens out the door showing that the women in kpop could be sexy, too. Abaracadabra caused some controversy for the dance (Known as the 'The Arrogant Dance') at the time of its release, and when I saw that for whatever *random reason* Dreamcatcher decided to slay us all and did the relay dance??? Well there's a lot of reaction videos out there for it too and you'll understand if you do, lol. Here's that one, it's from M2, their other relays are worth watching for how damn funny they always are. ruclips.net/video/S0-AJT9IPcY/видео.htmlsi=Qq8Wd2LI8OdZZ2Om
I'm going too be expecting to see you guys soon! Welcome to InSomnia, you've shed your required tears, here's your cloak and lightstaff. XD
Dreamcatcher - Polaris .
a time they had no light stick and no first win and not popular in korea and no handong .
191027 드림캐쳐 직캠 Dreamcatcher In Milan - Polaris (SO SAD AND EMOTIONAL) [FANCAM by JulyNator Channel]
Soon as I saw the video title I made sure I grabbed tissues. Every time I watch the Reason video or go back and watch the first win video I break.
The tissues were definitely a smart choice 🤣
I think I mentioned before that im not really a fan of rock so at first i wasnt sure what to think of the grp, it intrigued me bc it was so diff from the rest of kpop i knew but it was a sound i wasnt into. I decided to give them a chance and im so glad i did, i may not have joined in from the very start but i did live a lot of those memories with the girls and somnias through the years, that first win meant a lot to all of us and we all agree it should've happened sooner but we're so grateful it did come
Theres a clip of their initial reaction to the win on Dreamcatcher's Note (and a part of it's in Reason) but just before it was announced you can see that they dont look like theyre anticipating anything, they had no expectations of winning anymore and that in itself hurts to see and know as a fan, knowing how hard they work everyday and that they did not expect to receive any recognition for it
I'm brazilian so my timezones are the complete opposite of korea, i rmb waking up in the morning and alr seeing the clips and tweets of the first win, I rmb rewatching the speech over and over while not leaving my bed bc i was crying so much, im so proud of how far we've come and now i really want to see them in concert bc the last time they were here i wasnt a somnia yet 😢
i'm not crying ,
my eyes are sweating .
there are some moments in Time ,
that stay with you forever .
They are Dreamcatcher ☀⏳🌌🌎👑❄🌹✨🔥⚡🌙⚔♥
I love going down DC memory lane with yall. Thanks for making me cry again. Lol I still remember the moment they won. I stayed up late watching the livestream so my sleep deprived self did not comprehend that they had won even as their mv showed on the screen. It wasn’t until they came out bawling their thanks that it finally hit me and the tears came down. 😭 It was like a huge weight lifted off all of us. All those hours spent voting for them finally paid off. We struggled just as much as them. Someone else linked the video of their reaction from backstage. The fact that they didn’t think they were going to win still breaks my heart. They were too conditioned to not expect to win. They definitely changed that attitude after this.
You should react to their other fan songs “Full Moon” and “Over the Sky”. They’re fun songs to show InSomnia their appreciation, of course “Reason” is their ultimate fan song. Thank you for your reactions!
Just doing my normal cruising through YT one day and saw a thumbnail and caption that said something about Dreamcatcher's First Win...I ignored it because DC NEVER wins those shows, plus some of the channels that are in my side queue are 'questionable' with their stupid click-bait titles. I continued watching a video, found another video to watch, clicked on it and THERE WERE THREE MORE thumbnails, all DIFFERENT CHANNELS, claiming DC got the First Win!?
I had INSTANT tears, I had to take a break before even watching one of those. Just hoping against hope that it was real...OMG. I watched everything I could find about the win and their reactions! Then I started seeing thumbnails for reactions to their First Win...cried every time I saw a reaction (this time, too, with YOUR reactions). SO HEART-BROKEN and SO PROUD of these ladies and this group and this company all at the same time...
They won AGAIN for the same song just a day or two later, and then their promotions came to an end. They got TWO SEPARATE WINS for that song!
They did not win for 'Vision', which is another crime perpetrated by the Industry, and then the girls went on tour. It was a while before they had another MV release because they had toured so much. That tour is when DC became the very first K-Pop Group to go to a HUGE festival in Spain, Primavera Sound. They ALMOST MISSED that concert because of shitty weather in Germany messing with their Commercial Flight, but Primavera sent a Private Jet to pick them up and bring them to Spain! Otherwise they would have had to take a 6-hour drive and would have missed the event.
Then Reason came out...
Then FINALLY 'Bon Voyage' hit and ALSO got 2 wins, bringing their Grand Total to 4 that I know of, so far (le al HOPE for many more)...
Ah man, their first win. I remember clearly waking up and opening RUclips and multiple videos of them showing up. I was looking at the screen for a few seconds in shock and started crying even before watching it. I was sobbing and screaming and jumping around the house at 7 am😂 What a moment as a fan. I never thought that I would feel so connected with a group like this! All the 5 years of fighting, it's crazy to think about their journey to their 1st win, then 2,3,4.... and many more to come! 🩶
There are 3 kinds of groups:
1. Boy Group
2. Girl group
3. Dreamcatcher
4. MINX
5. KARD - watch cake 😉😉
The normal pattern with music shows is that the first win almost always happens with the debut song or within one year after debut. With Dreamcatcher it was five years of coming close, but always disappointment and then the fraud that happened with Deja Vu, their masterpiece. The simplest way to gauge the impact of the win on them is this. Dami cried. Dami never cries. Dami cried.
I'm surprised nobody gave you the link to their Dreamcatcher's Note for the behind-the-scenes look at their reaction when their win was announced. Here it is: ruclips.net/video/93FSJDOV-PM/видео.htmlsi=UTivTPiRENPoYIl7 timestamp 7:49. At the beginning you can also see they also won a poll to have their waiting room decorated that day lol.
I was a baby somnia during Maison era, Literally my first ever comeback and I was bawling watching their first win. They are the first ever kpop group I ever voted for on things like music show but it's all worth the time and effort 😭
I watched this live and even I was suprised how hard it hit me when it happened. I'd been following them so long, and knew how much they wanted it and I was yelling like a crazy person when it finally happened.
1st win, with MAISON, that can be arrange as SOMNIA, that has lyric "please someone fight for us" and "be my side",
while other comment said some of other fandom help Dreamcatcher for this moment, be somnia side fight for this precious moment.
I really like their story, it's definitely a journey, worth as movie,
I hope Dreamcatcher will be known as legend after years.
Seeing the journey these girls have been through, really warms my heart. Been an insomnia since Maison era, so i was able to experience their first win. And once i got to really know them as a group and individually, that first win hit even more. And the first time I watched Reason when it came out, it was like the first thing I watched the morning I woke up that day, and i was in tears.
I remember seeing this. It was so sweet, but I'm crying because Moonbin was an MC and I forgot! 😭
I literally saw this live in concert on Wednesday when I tell you the audience was so LOUD during the chants
As it should be 👏🏻
My babies deserve all the love and support 🥹♥️♥️♥️
hearing them sing this live at their concert was just phenomenal! the whole concert hall synced up for the Whoa-oh-oh, i'm a 30 year old man and it bought tears to my eyes! absolutely amazing live!
dreamcatcher \:D/
it was a long road only made possible by a series of good fortune. in an industry where the darker side is revealed from time to time, how likely would it have been for a ceo to double down on a failed group. it's easy to stay together when things are good, but I don't think many are like jiu who kept a cheerful outlook and kept everyone together because siyeon even said it was because of jiu that she didn't quit.
I swear when i see then in concert, i will cry 24/7 lmao they have lifted me up so many times, in hard times, and i have worked hard trying to get them wins/awards, my favorites of all time, no one does it like Dreamcatcher ❤

Love your reaction, finally, you reach for "REASON". That really an emotional roller coaster
You've been witnessing their passion, get ready for some spice and energy
Recommendation: Red Sun and Wind Blows
It’s true that DC would have continued to be successful without one, but wins are crucial in kpop for non-music reasons like brand deals and CFs (where a lot more financial growth opportunities are available)-now they have two Neogen promos, a fashion ad, JiU’s Coach deal etc., which likely wouldn’t have happened without the industry legitimacy conferred by a win.
Of all kpop groups with a win, it took Dreamcatcher the longest time to get there from debut-over 1800 days (Brave Girls technically took longer, but had major lineup changes so they’re an odd case), so it must have been incredibly disheartening to have been passed up for opportunities that other groups of comparable success and seniority took for granted!
"Reason" - This great fan song has now been performed live several times. Most recently a few days ago (02/23/2024) in Offenbach - Germany). Unfortunately no official video.
I therefore recommend checking out DC's performance in Saudi Arabia (on Mnet K-POP). It's live and it's great.
I’m crying so much this timeee I feel like it was a dream???!! I love deukae so much we all so happy that finally Dreamcatcher got their 1st win for Maison!!
To Normal idols , 7 Years is a Long Time ,
For the Dreamcatcher ,
it is a Blink of a Moment ,
This is Just the Beginning .
I really wanna watch this now cause I love your reactions, but given I can't go to the Dreamcatcher concert today cause I'm sick... probably not the best time to watch Reason, I'm gonna be bawling :(
We're sorry to hear that. Please make sure to prioritize yourself first! If you ever decide you're ready to watch our reaction it will still be here for you ♥🖤 We hope you feel better soon.
The particular first video will always be known as JiU's beatbox era 😂
This is iconic 😂😂
I shouldn’t have watched this while being hormonal because I cried even more than I usually do. One thing that I’ll never question is how much Dreamcatcher loves Insomnia 😭❤️
I Love Dreamcatcher FOREVER. They're talented, awesome, kind and really great idols. I cried during the first win video and i am proud to be one of many InSomnia.
How could you do this to me! I have work today…. I can’t be emotionally compromised at 8am with a Reason reaction!
… 😅🫂❤️🫶
Damn I've seen the Reason MV often enough but I also cried again 🥲
I saw this video on my recommendations, the feels immediately came and I was planning to go get my eyes checked. So I patiently did all my eye exams and came back home as fast as possible so I can see yall's reactions, cause I wanted to re live this precious memory with you both, I was in tears the entire time. I wasn't an InSomnia at the time but I was learning about their story just like you two and its so heartbreaking to see these kind, sweetest, talented, persevering, hardworking women finally achieve the dreams they've all been working so hard for all these years including all the hard work from DCC staff, InSomnia, and everyone who helped along the way. Finally gave them the push that they needed to get their 1st win :'). Thank you so much for reacting to such an important moment for a lot of us InSomnias. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!
REASON is really a very good song, they doesn't need a sad melody and rhythm, by still showing a rock song they can still make all InSomnia feel emotional. Thank you for REASON reaction ❤
It was impossible not to cry 😭❤️
I literally don’t know how anyone could watch either with dry eyes 😭
