Yep, the Minx shock is real. 😉 Dami and Siyeon were the most traumatized by the failure, with Siyeon being unable to watch music shows without crying before the company re-debuted them as Dreamcatcher. The CEO said in an interview that the failure of Minx wasn't the girls' fault, it was the company's fault. When did a Kpop CEO admit a mistake? He also said that if Dreamcatcher would fail as well, he would become a cucumber farmer to support the girls. InSomnia highly respect CEO-nim for sticking with the girls. "Chase me" was their debut as Dreamcatcher, released on January 13th (a Friday), 2017. It must have been nerve-wrecking for the members, re-debuting with a genre that is not popular in Korea after Minx failed. But they already doubled their sales with this. And they stuck with the Rock/Metal vibe until today, now selling 50 times the albums than Minx did. This is the start of the Nightmare arc, which spans 6 MVs and 1 Japanese release. They are Nightmares here, and the Nightmare hunter is trying to dispel them - how that turns out is shown in the next one, Good Night. Remember the ending here for when you react to Good Night!
This was controversial for the longest time. Siyeon wanted to quit. Dami hated it. Dreamcatcher fans had a mutual understanding of "Don't talk about it". But actually pretty recently, Dreamcatcher started to acknowledge Minx and now we view it as a weird memory. Dreamcatcher CEO never gave up on the girls and now we have Dreamcatcher. You will notice how Dreamcatcher fans are some of the best in the community, because we've been so close to failure and worked our way back to the top. Also JiU is an incredible leader that helped the team never lose hope.
A very humble leader who shoulders too much responsibility. She still feels like she personally failed because Minx failed. Obviously we know better from an outside perspective. But she still feels it, almost a decade later. That makes her probably the most empathetic group leader; she knows what to avoid and so she has a better feel for navigating the pitfalls of the industry. But look at her sunny, positive personality...just WOW, I wish I had been born with even half of that kind of drive! She's awesome! :)
man I'm so glad they all supported each other and the CEO never gave up! And I would agree the DC fans have been some of the most welcome here! I'm glad that I'm now a baby InSomnia 😊🥰
It's good to see their interactions with Handong and Gahyeon and how close they became even after only knowing each other a short while. JiU's warm heart really shines ❤ JiU said (in an interview with CéciKorea) that she wasn't worried about the drastic concept change from Minx to Dreamcatcher. "Although it was a shot in the dark, I somehow knew that Dreamcatcher would succeed. Our staff worked hard to come up with good ideas for our group so I believed that all their effort would pay off."
Of course the shocked was there😂 To dig deeper on Dreamcatcher's history, I highly recommended a video by Mera, *Dodging Disbandment and Other Extreme Sports: A History of Dreamcatcher* This video is somewhat oblige for every InSomnia to watch, cause there is an expectation after watching this video, the respects for the Ladies, the CEO, the Company, and the Staff would be multiply... You can react to the video or just watch it in your private time... Great reaction as always, stay safe, keep healthy, and have great days
Even though WDYCTMH is my favorite song from Minx, i don't know if i should talk about it or not, Minx era is like Speak no Evil and See No Evil for Siyeon and Dami (she was the maknae at that time and Minx is kinda sexualizing with the clothing choice, - it was around the Peak era of K-pop Big Dique Energy so the trend follows) but since they performed Love Shake ot7 During Broken Halloween Concert ( dang, i forget the concert name when they change it because of the Halloween Incident) in Seoul, i guess it's true that time can heal the wounds...
when I became Insomnia about 3/4 years ago, I had never watched Minx's mvs, I always knew about their past but because they themselves said they didn't like it, I had never seen it. I only saw them last year and the impact was huge haha but I'm so grateful that they had the opportunity to become Dreamcatcher and be this revolutionary group.
In fact, Minx was a big failure in the members' lives. Since the beginning of Dreamcatcher they worked so hard for this second chance to work. And whenever they talked about Minx they felt sad and didn't like it. Recently with the support of fans and Dreamcatcher's growth they have overcome this and even performed at concerts singing Minx songs with Gahyeon and Handong together. Most important of all, their company never gave up on the girls, and instead of doing like the others and letting go, they made a redebut. And later Happyface changed its name to Dreamcatcher Company.
Why Did You Come To My House would’ve been a 100% popular if it came out back on 2012 where that kind of EDM music was popular with groups like Big Bang. Love Shake is more of a meme now and Deukae is now more comfortable talking and joking about Minx. They call them their seniors and have even covered Love Shake at their concerts with Handong and Gahyeon. Minx just came out at the wrong time, and even though it was a bad period for the girls, they were able to become stronger and face all the new challenges Dreamcatcher brought. A girl group with a dark horror concept is still something hard to grip in the Kpop industry, but the rest of the world loved it. They did a world tour on their second year of debut! Also, about the order for ur deep dives, since Dreamcatcher works with storylines, you can separate the videos by three eras. Nightmare (Chase Me is pt1, then comes Goodnight, Fly High, You and I, What, Piri and Breaking Out). Then comes Dystopia (Scream, BOCA, Odd Eye) and finally Apocalypse era (MAISON, VISION and ??? coming out on May 24). Then you can listen to the full albums/EPs/mini albums in between eras. The first Nightmare single albums are short so u can mesh a lot of them together. Going chronologically is def the way!
I like the songs. They did reasonably okay with them, but the competition with other groups was fierce. Love Shake is a mini album with other songs. They also sang the song Action live, but there is no studio version. You can see from the off they had talent. They also had a Christmas cover with label group Dal Shabet.
The "dodging disbandment" video really has the details of why Minx failed, I still suggest you watch it. Love Shake actually had a mini album, and I really like at least one of the b-sides. Also just in the last year, they performed Love Shake as OT7 at a few concerts in full, and in partial in others, including Weekly Idol. Handong and Gahyeon actually knew the choreo, and in some variety shows, during random play dances, Minx would come on, and they would dance, while all the other members were just looking around, not acknowledging the songs. :D They finally got their wish when they did the OT7 performances. There are videos of all of that.
As you progress through the title tracks listen to the change in their vocals especially Siyeon's in "chase me" you can still hear a bit of the cutesy part of Minx but she really gets comfortable with the rock and herself after a few songs
Thanks for the video. A lot of InSomnias have this mentality that we shouldn't mention or speak about MINX era because it protects the girls. So much that they hound and bug reactors when they do. Hopefully you haven't gotten any hate about it. For me it's okay to talk about it, especially since it's such a huge part of Dreamcatcher and what makes them them. It has traumatized at least 5 of the 7 members, but they are stronger now for it. I'm sure others have mentioned it, but that's what makes JiU such a great leader. She was the glue that held them together. And that's why I think InSomnias should talk about it. Just to see how far they've come and the struggles they have had to go through. As long as we don't go out of our way to bug DC about it of course. Ever since their first win with "MAISON", there's definitely less tension about it. So much that there's an OT7 performance of "Love Shake". If they'd also do one for "Why Did You Come To My Home", that would be the icing on the cake. I really enjoy the song haha. "Chase Me" was such a super intense debut if you think about it. Glad the company decided to keep them to make Dreamcatcher. I mean you can see with their MINX mv's, the girls were really talented and could pull off that concept. But I'm like you, I do prefer their rock concept. But I also like their cute/pop concept too!
Everyone has been super welcoming and sweet 🥰 I really wanted this deep dive project to be a journey of theirs as well as mine, starting at their beginning and working my way through to where they are now. 🥰 They really can pull of any concept and any genre!! 😊
So my guess is the company were trying to recreate the success they'd had with Dal Shabet (who debuted in 2011). Dal shabet were the company's first group and fairly popular in Korea to begin with. They debuted with a similar concept to Minx; bright, bubbly and cute. But changed the concept to be more mature/sexy around 2014/15. This is when Minx debuted. My guess is that they wanted the older group to carry the more mature girl group concepts that were popular in that era (AOA, Girl's Day, Nine Muses) while they debuted a cutesy group to try and recapture the glory days. It didn't work out for either group. Dal Shabet slowly lost popularity (The first group I ever stanned all the way from debut to disbandment) and Minx never even got a foot in the door. But instead of giving up on them like 99% of companies would, they took a huge effing risk and we got Dreamcatcher out of it and I'm so SO glad they did because Dreamcatcher are precious, unique and special and I'm so proud of their success!
"the company were trying to recreate the success they'd had with Dal Shabet" -- literally! For those who may not know, "Love Shake" is Dal Shabet's song, later covered by Minx. It's worth listening to for comparison.
Love Shake actually had a mini album with it with a few fun B-Sides as well, it wasn’t just those two songs. Would recommend them in your free time, though I always love more reactions too :P
So glad they changed their concept and became *Dreamcatcher* as we know them today. *FYI:* There was a year or longer period the end of 2019 into 2020 that *HanDong* left back to China. She felt she didn't have much of a roll in the group. HanDong entered a survival show in China called "Youth With You" season 2. One of the mentors/ judges on that show was *LISA* Blackpink.
I am not sure that was her reason for going to China. First, the obvious, visiting her family. Second, working on her confidence (and OH, BOY did THAT part work out wonderfully!). It does not seem that she had LEFT the group entirely. These ladies are just too close. She missed them and they all missed her like crazy. She even made Reaction Videos to what the other six were doing while she could not be with them and those reactions are on DC's channel. So she was still part of the group, just separated by circumstances. I was sad about the way that Han Dong and Lisa had such limited contact. What happened between YG and Happyface had nothing to do with these two ladies but it seems like that incident really affected things between them on Youth With You; maybe it was contractual, who knows? They only shared a stage once before and Lisa remembered Dongie, vaguely (no surprise because Dongie was not much of a talker when they had been on the same stage at the same time).
I am glad they switch too, cuz while minx song is great, it is not something that would intrigued me personally to find out more abt the group. So thankful dcc change up their concepts and kept all the girls cuz they have been serving since their first debut. Minx disbandment hit hard on the girls, giving up totally what they have built in minx to a full 180 degree to dreamcatcher, a gg dealing with rock was literally unheard of in 2017. Now, all i can say is that i am so proud of them, they deserve so much. And thank you for the reaction❤️
I don't really know why many ppl don't like them as minx, there's nothing wrong with cute concepts. In fact I think they re-debuted as Dreamcatcher bc back then, the K-pop scene was saturated with cute concepts that adding one more would have been difficult for them to stand out, so they go for something different. Never be ashamed by your beginning/origin, be proud of it bc it shows you how far you got now as a new group.
Minx wasn't bad by any means, they were pretty much par for the course in the mid 2010's, but that is also why they couldn't stand out. Imagine trying to be noticed in a time when groups like Red Velvet, Twice and (my other love 😍) Gfriend were on the rise. In a way I'm very happy Minx failed, it was painful but it had to happen for them to become what they are today. If Minx had somehow managed to cling on for a bit more the girls still wouldn't be around now and they certainly wouldn't have those smiles on their faces.
Dreancatcher are hands-down my ult group, but I also loved Minx. 3rd gen was a magical time in kpop. Hopefully, 4th gen girl crush will get too cool for itself and return to cute, colorful monke.
Thank you for this video! I am excited that you are about to dive deep into DC! They are such an amzing group and discovering them was so much fun. As you have noticed and mentioned they have alot of content. I would recommend you start w the tittle tracks as you have here but also do the dance practices for them. Once u are done with the TT maybe move onto the special clips or solos. I also highly suggest you do some of their covers.. They are amazing when it comes to covers!!! (maybe as a bonus add a cover??). Relay dances and some interviews or games will give you more insignt into thier personalities if u wanna check those out too. One of the fav things in their journey is seeing them grow up and figure out who they are not just as DC but also as solo artist. Siyeon has one of the biggest growths in my oppion with her stage presence and charisma, as well as her vocal tone that has become stronger and fuller more rockish each era. What and Piri, more so Piri with the blonde hair I think was when Siyeon really became Siyeon we know today. The MVs follow a storyline, JiU and Yoohyeon are kind of the 2 main charecters for most of them, JiU because she is the leader and Yooh im not sure why but I am not complaining, my JiYoo heart loves it lol. Looking forward to more of your videos with DC!!
if anyone here has followed them from 2014/2015 you must know their struggle to voice their name in the minx era, until finally they disbanded right on "November 29 2016" and finally on "January 13 2017" they debuted again with the name DREAMCTHER and on "April 20 2022" DREAMCTHER finally won its first win on a music show after 5 years of debut,,, through the song MAISON title track from the album "APOCALYPSE:save us"
So glad they finally won, but tbh they should have won waaaay before that! they are just too good! sad that rock/metal isn't really the music show vibe back then...
@@roguereacts Yes, that's because their country didn't look at them from the Minx era to the current Dreamctaher, because their country has rock and metal music, which can rarely be accepted and seen unless they debut at a well-known agency or a top 3.
the story of the Dreamcatcher. 7 beings were Born into this World, they would find each other through Destiny, and be bonded to each other Through Destiny for All Time. When 5 of them found each other they became Minx (18.09.2014), but Destiny had other plans for them and forces would separate them. But their Bond Through Destiny was so Strong that they would find each other throughout all Time , they Returned and Destiny brought the final 2 beings to the group. They became Guardians of Dreams, They became Dreamcatcher 🌙⚡⭐❤🔥 ✨🌹. Gifted , Blessed and Bonded Through Destiny for all Time. To be a Dreamcatcher you have to be chosen by Fate , and Blessed by Destiny with : Magic ✨ , Power ⚡, Fire 🔥 and Timeless Beauty 🌹⏳. those who Discover Dreamcatcher, Become InSomnia and never Sleep on Dreamcatcher talent.
Love that you watch the behind too, but the whole Minx channel as well as a lot until Boca and Odd Eye era is NOT subbed. In the early days RUclips allowed everyone to add subtitles which a lot of people did (for example 7dreamers who still do that for their other social media). That's why some of the MV have the names of the members, bc smart Somnies thought of it. RUclips removed the feature a few years ago and DCC didn't start subbing right away (which is actually crazy if you think about it, until 2020 or so there were no official subtitles...). The content also got A LOT longer. If you stick with the old videos, some of them got reuploaded by fans with subs but not all of them.
I love watching behind the scenes stuff!!! Thank you for the heads up on the cc's I'm going to have to make sure I look into it as it I add songs/videos to playlists!
@Rogue Reacts you won't regret it, the videos get better and better and way more unhinged! They also started vlogging a few years in and now we went from 5 minutes to multi-part feature length vlogs that most members even edit themselves! Truly a glow-up haha
I think I saw Minx's MVs before they were re-debuted as Dreamcatcher, and I watched those MVs with my eyes half-closed. Being a man, the MV was ''interesting' to me but also makes me uncomfortable somehow, though oddly I can watch MV with similar vibes from other groups just fine. Then I saw Chase Me and immediately interested in the group, before finally realising a few years later that the members are actually from Minx. The shock was real!
Nice reaction. Fyi, if you're going to keep watching the behind the scenes of the MVs and/or othe DC content from the Happyface channel, then i suggest, a fan channel named 7Dreamers for the Eng subs would good.
hey i heard you said that WDYCTMH and love shake was the only songs that they came out whit as minx its actually wrong love shake was the title track of a mini album and there is 3 more songs: shut up, superstar superman and i just like you :D love the reactions tho and you could see the talent the girls had even back then they just got drowned out by bigger groups and im thankful for dreamcatcher :D and the highnote of Siyeon in WDYCTMH is amazing
There is a version of the Chase Me making video with English subs on this channel www.youtube.com/@7dreamers831/videos They did translations for a lot of early Dreamcatcher before the company realized where their fanbase was. I'm really tired of the 'trauma' thing so all I'm going to say is that they performed Love Shake at their Halloween Concert last year. They had fun, the audience loved it, Gahyeon and Handong were happy because they'd always wanted to do it, so trauma over and forgotten as it should be.
Hi, nice reaction, if look at the lyrics of the Nightmare series, we are the guy in the video, they bewitched us, traped us in the dreamworld and we don't want to run away.
The shock value of seeing Minx vs Dreamcatcher ALWAYS makes me giggle hysterically. I love that SuA still raps here and there, because she's REALLY frickin' swaggy and just amazing at everything she does. Siyeon and her wild belts and whistle notes have always been a thing, like I find it too funny people try to say Siyeon has bad vocals. Like INSERT BITCH WHERE MEME HERE. She has stylized vocals because she was in a rock/metal band prior to debuting in Minx (I believe), but yeaaaaaaaaah so happy that Dreamcatcher was the result of Minx pseudo-failure. (Love Shake is a bop tho. Ain't gonna lie. Lol. There's an OT7 version of Love Shake that they did at one of the stops on their US tour with Gahyeon and Dongie, and they also did it on Weekly Idol.)
Not lying, the love shake mini album is quite good. "Shut Up" is awesome! The harmonizing they did on the ballad...I wish they'd bring that element more prominently back into their DC ballads.
It's been almost 9 years since Minx debuted, and JiU looks like she hasn't aged a day. So much respect for her because the Minx concept is clearly her natural self; and she had to adapt the most to Dreamcatcher's new concept.
In order to be able to classify MINX better, it is certainly helpful to get an idea of DalShabet. This group was Happyface's previous leading group. ruclips.net/video/6H1QOFBNRWs/видео.html ruclips.net/video/a5seeyaBMsc/видео.html My favorite song - super cute and yet anarchic ruclips.net/video/0tVe-60aQ5Q/видео.html The attitude of the members towards MINX has also normalized in the meantime. touched by embarrassed ruclips.net/video/phAIpcqJomA/видео.html to proud acceptance ruclips.net/video/nrx9JqGYbgY/видео.html btw, MINX had well-known fans throughout. ruclips.net/video/qkg_zEzCoMg/видео.html
She Dreamed of Becoming a idol , Fate chose Her to Become a Legendary Dreamcatcher for all Time ⏳, Destiny Blessed Her with : Timeless Beauty 🌹, Flame 🔥 , Magic ✨ and Power ⚡ .
SoCool! Thank you again for reacting to my favorite group 🤘😎 I have to tell you I love your t-shirt GRrrrr I'm a leo, like Sua we have the same birthday ( August 10 ) I show kpop to my 7 year old daughter she loves Dreamcatcher, I showed her all the MV, live performance, and a few days ago I showed her Minx.... She said to me: " Mom Love Shake is my favorite song" 😅🤦🏻♀️ I can't wait for the next video!!! Take Care ❤️
Wow... That's almost decade old (Minx)... I think Yoohyeon and Dami were still in High school.... I wonder if Dreamcatcher will do 10 year anniversary content next year....
Dreamcatcher are extremely prolific. I'm not sure there's another group that puts out as much content as they do, at least not one I've come across. I've been pretty deep into the rabbit hole for about a year and I'm still nowhere near being through all their behind-the-scenes stuff. I legitimately really like WDYCTMH. I honestly feel like if they'd released a second song similar in sound to it and hadn't waiting 10 months between releases, they would have done much better. Love Shake is less my taste of music but it's funny to see people's reactions to is when they're used to Dreamcatcher. You're right though that it's a testament to the fact that they can do any sound really, which you'll get to experience as you go through the albums. I'm still holding out for a Dreamcatcher mini album covering of all of Minx sunbaenim's songs done with DCs rock flair. Looking forward to the rest of your reactions
Minx was the typical 2014-2015 girl group sound. Was it good, yes, but at the same time it did not stand out. And having their debut song as a single did not really help. At the time of minx- Jiu and SuA were 20, Siyeon was 18 but basically just shy of 19, 2yoo were 17 and finishing high school. Minx, early DC were rapper SuA, though we have been getting a little bit of rapper SuA with the new stuff. They have performed an ot7 Love Shake- weekly idol had a snippet, apocalypse in Seoul had the full stage and Siyeon can still hit those whistle notes. Jiu, the woman sounds and looks basically the same.. Dami and Siyeon are the Minx members that have changed the most. Love Shake was a mini album, shut up and I just like you are the songs from that minx album i listen to the most.. there is also a club mix of love Shake. Very few girl groups in 2014 went outside the expected sound- one that did was my other girl group Stan: Mamamoo. Other groups went cute, Mamamoo went jazz and vintage 50s.
I can see how they could totally get lost in the mix during that time. I have added the OT7 Love Shake version to the deep dive, can't wait to check it out!!
There were more songs, they had an album that both appeared on (I think it was like five songs, which is not un-heard-of for a first album from K-Pop). I don't have the album or the track list but this would be easily searchable because of the finite number of songs with Minx' name attached.
@@roguereacts I think it might still be somewhere on the internet but if it is not on the old happyface YT channel, I really don't know what to tell you. Likely in their Playlists. They actually took the album off the shelves, you will never find a new one and I bet it would be worth a pretty penny now that DC has hit it big.
I mean I can see why... but also huh?! Like if I didn't know them what so ever and you played two songs Love Shake and like Scream back to back and told me they were basically the same group I would not believe you one bit 🤣
@@roguereacts it was a running joke with Dongie and Gahyeon always goofing with the other members because of it. You should listen to the Dreamcatcher version of it.
5 members of Dreamcatcher originally debut under Minx, (3rd gen) then re-debut as Dreamcatcher with two additional members about 3 years later! Dreamcatcher's journey and story is absolutely amazing, and those women went through so much to get to where they are now! I hope you enjoy the journey! 🥰
LOL... MINX didn't disband! They rebranded for a couple reasons. A. Happyface were idiots to try to create DalShabet 2.0 when version 1 wasn't a huge success. B. 3rd Gen had taken a decidedly darker tone from 2nd Gen and MINX sits in that 2.5 area were no one knew what the hell they were doing. That being said MINX does show up in Dreamcatcher content(I'm looking at you Millenasia project!). I've always believed that MINX is who the women are off stage and Dreamcatcher is their stage persona. Let's also not forget the two biggest fangirls of MINX are Handong and Gahyeon!
oh you going WAY back in this deep dive lol yes I very much learned they rebranded lol I 1000% agree with you Minx is them off stage and DC is their on stage persona lol
@@roguereacts Yeah I'll be honest I discovered your channel... Well... yesterday. It's always a joy for me to see new people getting in to K-pop. I'm an early 2nd gen convert. Wonder Girls intrigued me, but SNSD(specifically Sunny) grabbed me by the throat and dragged me (quite willingly) down this rabbit hole.
I like the song Love Shake I just don't like the video. Some of them were teenagers and they were made to wear tiny shorts and shake their butts while a camera zoomed in on them. Dami was literally underage. The song is an absolute bop though, I often listen to it on the way to work to wake me up.
@@roguereacts Oh, wow! I don't know how that happened, I have not seen a version of the MV that was not lyric-capable since about six weeks after the song was released. You must have found a really rare version to react to! Try changing the language settings in your YT account, there should be multiple settings so if American English does not work, then UK should. One of their recent songs only had Jamaican English as a setting, which I thought was weird but it works anyway. Or, a worse problem, your computer is bugged... I hope it's simply a case of the former and not the latter...
@@roguereacts I REALLY HOPE that is all the problem is... Or maybe just restart the computer... IDK, just spit-balling. Try all the little fixes before moving on to having to look at something huge, could literally just be nothing. lol
Minx era makes me uncomfortable, it's a bit awkward, they are so young and both clips have very sexualized zoom, very tendentious so I understand why they didn't like that period especially as it has nothing to do with their musical fibre
I've posted over on the community tab a spot if you want to drop Dreamcatcher video suggestions!! 😊😊😊
Yep, the Minx shock is real. 😉 Dami and Siyeon were the most traumatized by the failure, with Siyeon being unable to watch music shows without crying before the company re-debuted them as Dreamcatcher. The CEO said in an interview that the failure of Minx wasn't the girls' fault, it was the company's fault. When did a Kpop CEO admit a mistake? He also said that if Dreamcatcher would fail as well, he would become a cucumber farmer to support the girls. InSomnia highly respect CEO-nim for sticking with the girls.
"Chase me" was their debut as Dreamcatcher, released on January 13th (a Friday), 2017. It must have been nerve-wrecking for the members, re-debuting with a genre that is not popular in Korea after Minx failed. But they already doubled their sales with this. And they stuck with the Rock/Metal vibe until today, now selling 50 times the albums than Minx did.
This is the start of the Nightmare arc, which spans 6 MVs and 1 Japanese release. They are Nightmares here, and the Nightmare hunter is trying to dispel them - how that turns out is shown in the next one, Good Night.
Remember the ending here for when you react to Good Night!
the fact that the CEO owned up to the mistake is HUGE!!! .... I'm now scared about Good Night... 🤣
This was controversial for the longest time. Siyeon wanted to quit. Dami hated it. Dreamcatcher fans had a mutual understanding of "Don't talk about it". But actually pretty recently, Dreamcatcher started to acknowledge Minx and now we view it as a weird memory. Dreamcatcher CEO never gave up on the girls and now we have Dreamcatcher. You will notice how Dreamcatcher fans are some of the best in the community, because we've been so close to failure and worked our way back to the top.
Also JiU is an incredible leader that helped the team never lose hope.
A very humble leader who shoulders too much responsibility. She still feels like she personally failed because Minx failed. Obviously we know better from an outside perspective. But she still feels it, almost a decade later. That makes her probably the most empathetic group leader; she knows what to avoid and so she has a better feel for navigating the pitfalls of the industry. But look at her sunny, positive personality...just WOW, I wish I had been born with even half of that kind of drive! She's awesome! :)
Need some Vitamin J?
Just take a walk with JiU!
ruclips.net/video/MyJSJjRdPZ8/видео.html
omg I love that!!!
awwww I just want to give her a huge hug now!!!
man I'm so glad they all supported each other and the CEO never gave up! And I would agree the DC fans have been some of the most welcome here! I'm glad that I'm now a baby InSomnia 😊🥰
Minx have my Heart and Dreamcatcher have my Soul .
It's good to see their interactions with Handong and Gahyeon and how close they became even after only knowing each other a short while. JiU's warm heart really shines ❤ JiU said (in an interview with CéciKorea) that she wasn't worried about the drastic concept change from Minx to Dreamcatcher. "Although it was a shot in the dark, I somehow knew that Dreamcatcher would succeed. Our staff worked hard to come up with good ideas for our group so I believed that all their effort would pay off."
JiU was 100% correct and all their hard work has paid off!!! 🥰
Of course the shocked was there😂
To dig deeper on Dreamcatcher's history, I highly recommended a video by Mera, *Dodging Disbandment and Other Extreme Sports: A History of Dreamcatcher*
This video is somewhat oblige for every InSomnia to watch, cause there is an expectation after watching this video, the respects for the Ladies, the CEO, the Company, and the Staff would be multiply...
You can react to the video or just watch it in your private time...
Great reaction as always, stay safe, keep healthy, and have great days
Pretty sure the shock was written all over my face 🤣 I was noooot expecting that for sure! Also added the video to the list! 😊
Even though WDYCTMH is my favorite song from Minx, i don't know if i should talk about it or not, Minx era is like Speak no Evil and See No Evil for Siyeon and Dami (she was the maknae at that time and Minx is kinda sexualizing with the clothing choice, - it was around the Peak era of K-pop Big Dique Energy so the trend follows) but since they performed Love Shake ot7 During Broken Halloween Concert ( dang, i forget the concert name when they change it because of the Halloween Incident) in Seoul, i guess it's true that time can heal the wounds...
I keep hearing it was a we don't talk about the dark times kinda situation 🤣 I added the ot7 version to my list!
when I became Insomnia about 3/4 years ago, I had never watched Minx's mvs, I always knew about their past but because they themselves said they didn't like it, I had never seen it. I only saw them last year and the impact was huge haha but I'm so grateful that they had the opportunity to become Dreamcatcher and be this revolutionary group.
I’m soooo glad they were able to become Dreamcatcher! Could you imagine not having them???
In fact, Minx was a big failure in the members' lives. Since the beginning of Dreamcatcher they worked so hard for this second chance to work. And whenever they talked about Minx they felt sad and didn't like it. Recently with the support of fans and Dreamcatcher's growth they have overcome this and even performed at concerts singing Minx songs with Gahyeon and Handong together. Most important of all, their company never gave up on the girls, and instead of doing like the others and letting go, they made a redebut. And later Happyface changed its name to Dreamcatcher Company.
I"m so glad the company and CEO didn't give up and admitted that they made a mistake with Minx!
Why Did You Come To My House would’ve been a 100% popular if it came out back on 2012 where that kind of EDM music was popular with groups like Big Bang. Love Shake is more of a meme now and Deukae is now more comfortable talking and joking about Minx. They call them their seniors and have even covered Love Shake at their concerts with Handong and Gahyeon. Minx just came out at the wrong time, and even though it was a bad period for the girls, they were able to become stronger and face all the new challenges Dreamcatcher brought. A girl group with a dark horror concept is still something hard to grip in the Kpop industry, but the rest of the world loved it. They did a world tour on their second year of debut!
Also, about the order for ur deep dives, since Dreamcatcher works with storylines, you can separate the videos by three eras. Nightmare (Chase Me is pt1, then comes Goodnight, Fly High, You and I, What, Piri and Breaking Out). Then comes Dystopia (Scream, BOCA, Odd Eye) and finally Apocalypse era (MAISON, VISION and ??? coming out on May 24). Then you can listen to the full albums/EPs/mini albums in between eras. The first Nightmare single albums are short so u can mesh a lot of them together. Going chronologically is def the way!
100% :)
10000% came out stronger as Dreamcatcher!!! You also read my mind! I broke everything up into the eras and going chronologically 😊😊
@@roguereacts Just Dreamcatcher loving the word on in their songs title: Emoti-on, Tensi-on, Visi-on, Mais-on, Full Mo-on, Pois-on Love [jk]
I like the songs. They did reasonably okay with them, but the competition with other groups was fierce. Love Shake is a mini album with other songs. They also sang the song Action live, but there is no studio version. You can see from the off they had talent. They also had a Christmas cover with label group Dal Shabet.
I might have to check out that mini album.... 🤣
The "dodging disbandment" video really has the details of why Minx failed, I still suggest you watch it. Love Shake actually had a mini album, and I really like at least one of the b-sides. Also just in the last year, they performed Love Shake as OT7 at a few concerts in full, and in partial in others, including Weekly Idol. Handong and Gahyeon actually knew the choreo, and in some variety shows, during random play dances, Minx would come on, and they would dance, while all the other members were just looking around, not acknowledging the songs. :D They finally got their wish when they did the OT7 performances. There are videos of all of that.
It' son the list and I have the OT7 version as well!
The look on your face 😂 Much respect for the OG somnias that used to be Minx fans. That drastic change must’ve been so shocking for them.
completely NOT what I was expecting!!! 🤣🤣
Minx to Dreamcatcher is enough to give you whiplash
For real ... I thought I went to an alternate universe 🤣
The love shake album was a mini album so there's actually more minx songs, the love shake bsides!
I might have to add it to the list!
there are many kpop Marathons ,
but only one Dreamcatcher Journey ,
and that Journey has no end
Truly! It could go on forever! ☺️
Those Minx Skateboards tho 🔥 would pay a sh*t ton of money to have one 😂
Seriously though! they could have made bank on those!
As you progress through the title tracks listen to the change in their vocals especially Siyeon's in "chase me" you can still hear a bit of the cutesy part of Minx but she really gets comfortable with the rock and herself after a few songs
i'm so glad she got comfortable with the rock voice! it's amazing!
I'm excited for more reactions of Dreamcatcher! Thank you for giving a chance to this super talented and incredible group
I'm so glad I did their discovery early on! If not I would be missing out on all this!!
Thanks for the video. A lot of InSomnias have this mentality that we shouldn't mention or speak about MINX era because it protects the girls. So much that they hound and bug reactors when they do. Hopefully you haven't gotten any hate about it. For me it's okay to talk about it, especially since it's such a huge part of Dreamcatcher and what makes them them. It has traumatized at least 5 of the 7 members, but they are stronger now for it. I'm sure others have mentioned it, but that's what makes JiU such a great leader. She was the glue that held them together. And that's why I think InSomnias should talk about it. Just to see how far they've come and the struggles they have had to go through. As long as we don't go out of our way to bug DC about it of course. Ever since their first win with "MAISON", there's definitely less tension about it. So much that there's an OT7 performance of "Love Shake". If they'd also do one for "Why Did You Come To My Home", that would be the icing on the cake. I really enjoy the song haha.
"Chase Me" was such a super intense debut if you think about it. Glad the company decided to keep them to make Dreamcatcher. I mean you can see with their MINX mv's, the girls were really talented and could pull off that concept. But I'm like you, I do prefer their rock concept. But I also like their cute/pop concept too!
Everyone has been super welcoming and sweet 🥰 I really wanted this deep dive project to be a journey of theirs as well as mine, starting at their beginning and working my way through to where they are now. 🥰
They really can pull of any concept and any genre!! 😊
@@roguereacts I'm really enjoying how you're doing this deep dive.
So my guess is the company were trying to recreate the success they'd had with Dal Shabet (who debuted in 2011). Dal shabet were the company's first group and fairly popular in Korea to begin with. They debuted with a similar concept to Minx; bright, bubbly and cute. But changed the concept to be more mature/sexy around 2014/15.
This is when Minx debuted. My guess is that they wanted the older group to carry the more mature girl group concepts that were popular in that era (AOA, Girl's Day, Nine Muses) while they debuted a cutesy group to try and recapture the glory days.
It didn't work out for either group. Dal Shabet slowly lost popularity (The first group I ever stanned all the way from debut to disbandment) and Minx never even got a foot in the door.
But instead of giving up on them like 99% of companies would, they took a huge effing risk and we got Dreamcatcher out of it and I'm so SO glad they did because Dreamcatcher are precious, unique and special and I'm so proud of their success!
"the company were trying to recreate the success they'd had with Dal Shabet" -- literally! For those who may not know, "Love Shake" is Dal Shabet's song, later covered by Minx. It's worth listening to for comparison.
good to know!
You know that makes a lot of sense! I'm so glad the company didn't give up on them or we wouldn't have Dreamcatcher!
Love Shake actually had a mini album with it with a few fun B-Sides as well, it wasn’t just those two songs. Would recommend them in your free time, though I always love more reactions too :P
Oh I'm adding it as a fun add on near the end of the deep dive! 😊
I just need you to know there is a stage for Why Did You Come To My Home? with the skateboards. 2014 was wild!!!
wait...like with real skateboards? LOL what the heck was 2014??!
You need to check out the Dreamcatcher Love shake live stage.
Yes DREAMCATCHER.
So I’ve been told! I’ve added it to the list!!
@@roguereacts Nice.
So glad they changed their concept and became *Dreamcatcher* as we know them today.
*FYI:* There was a year or longer period the end of 2019 into 2020 that *HanDong* left back to China. She felt she didn't have much of a roll in the group. HanDong entered a survival show in China called "Youth With You" season 2. One of the mentors/ judges on that show was *LISA* Blackpink.
I am not sure that was her reason for going to China. First, the obvious, visiting her family. Second, working on her confidence (and OH, BOY did THAT part work out wonderfully!). It does not seem that she had LEFT the group entirely. These ladies are just too close. She missed them and they all missed her like crazy. She even made Reaction Videos to what the other six were doing while she could not be with them and those reactions are on DC's channel. So she was still part of the group, just separated by circumstances.
I was sad about the way that Han Dong and Lisa had such limited contact. What happened between YG and Happyface had nothing to do with these two ladies but it seems like that incident really affected things between them on Youth With You; maybe it was contractual, who knows? They only shared a stage once before and Lisa remembered Dongie, vaguely (no surprise because Dongie was not much of a talker when they had been on the same stage at the same time).
I'm soooo glad they become Dreamcatcher! Or we wouldn't have this awesome music to listen too!
Wait what happened between YG and Happyface?!?!?! Also very sad that the two had limited time together, I love me some Lisa...
WDYCTMH is so much better than the success it got.
Love Shake 100% the hardest Dreamcatcher song 😂
I'm still amazed it's the same girls tbh 🤣
I am glad they switch too, cuz while minx song is great, it is not something that would intrigued me personally to find out more abt the group. So thankful dcc change up their concepts and kept all the girls cuz they have been serving since their first debut. Minx disbandment hit hard on the girls, giving up totally what they have built in minx to a full 180 degree to dreamcatcher, a gg dealing with rock was literally unheard of in 2017. Now, all i can say is that i am so proud of them, they deserve so much.
And thank you for the reaction❤️
thank you for watching! I'm also very proud of them! It seems like they have overcome so much! 💙
I don't really know why many ppl don't like them as minx, there's nothing wrong with cute concepts. In fact I think they re-debuted as Dreamcatcher bc back then, the K-pop scene was saturated with cute concepts that adding one more would have been difficult for them to stand out, so they go for something different. Never be ashamed by your beginning/origin, be proud of it bc it shows you how far you got now as a new group.
oh I'm sure it was super saturated at that time! I didn't mind Minx just NOT what I was expecting from them
Chase me is still one of my favorite dc songs, seeing it live last summer was amazing
it's a really good! as for a debut def one of my favorites!
Minx wasn't bad by any means, they were pretty much par for the course in the mid 2010's, but that is also why they couldn't stand out. Imagine trying to be noticed in a time when groups like Red Velvet, Twice and (my other love 😍) Gfriend were on the rise. In a way I'm very happy Minx failed, it was painful but it had to happen for them to become what they are today. If Minx had somehow managed to cling on for a bit more the girls still wouldn't be around now and they certainly wouldn't have those smiles on their faces.
exactly without Minx we truly wouldn't have Dreamcatcher!!
Dreancatcher are hands-down my ult group, but I also loved Minx. 3rd gen was a magical time in kpop. Hopefully, 4th gen girl crush will get too cool for itself and return to cute, colorful monke.
Before they became Dreamcatcher (pre Gahyeon), Dami was the maknae, thus the extra cute positioning for her.
That’s just way too funny lol
Thank you for this video! I am excited that you are about to dive deep into DC! They are such an amzing group and discovering them was so much fun. As you have noticed and mentioned they have alot of content.
I would recommend you start w the tittle tracks as you have here but also do the dance practices for them. Once u are done with the TT maybe move onto the special clips or solos. I also highly suggest you do some of their covers.. They are amazing when it comes to covers!!! (maybe as a bonus add a cover??). Relay dances and some interviews or games will give you more insignt into thier personalities if u wanna check those out too.
One of the fav things in their journey is seeing them grow up and figure out who they are not just as DC but also as solo artist. Siyeon has one of the biggest growths in my oppion with her stage presence and charisma, as well as her vocal tone that has become stronger and fuller more rockish each era. What and Piri, more so Piri with the blonde hair I think was when Siyeon really became Siyeon we know today.
The MVs follow a storyline, JiU and Yoohyeon are kind of the 2 main charecters for most of them, JiU because she is the leader and Yooh im not sure why but I am not complaining, my JiYoo heart loves it lol.
Looking forward to more of your videos with DC!!
I'm excited to see this growth! Thank you for the suggestions!!!
if anyone here has followed them from 2014/2015 you must know their struggle to voice their name in the minx era, until finally they disbanded right on
"November 29 2016" and finally on "January 13 2017" they debuted again with the name DREAMCTHER and on "April 20 2022" DREAMCTHER finally won its first win on a music show after 5 years of debut,,, through the song MAISON title track from the album "APOCALYPSE:save us"
So glad they finally won, but tbh they should have won waaaay before that! they are just too good! sad that rock/metal isn't really the music show vibe back then...
@@roguereacts Yes, that's because their country didn't look at them from the Minx era to the current Dreamctaher, because their country has rock and metal music, which can rarely be accepted and seen unless they debut at a well-known agency or a top 3.
the story of the Dreamcatcher.
7 beings were Born into this World, they would find each other through Destiny,
and be bonded to each other Through Destiny for All Time.
When 5 of them found each other they became Minx (18.09.2014),
but Destiny had other plans for them and forces would separate them.
But their Bond Through Destiny was so Strong that they would find each other throughout all Time ,
they Returned and Destiny brought the final 2 beings to the group.
They became Guardians of Dreams,
They became Dreamcatcher 🌙⚡⭐❤🔥 ✨🌹.
Gifted , Blessed and Bonded Through Destiny for all Time.
To be a Dreamcatcher you have to be chosen by Fate ,
and Blessed by Destiny with :
Magic ✨ , Power ⚡, Fire 🔥 and Timeless Beauty 🌹⏳.
those who Discover Dreamcatcher,
Become InSomnia and never Sleep on Dreamcatcher talent.
Love that you watch the behind too, but the whole Minx channel as well as a lot until Boca and Odd Eye era is NOT subbed. In the early days RUclips allowed everyone to add subtitles which a lot of people did (for example 7dreamers who still do that for their other social media). That's why some of the MV have the names of the members, bc smart Somnies thought of it. RUclips removed the feature a few years ago and DCC didn't start subbing right away (which is actually crazy if you think about it, until 2020 or so there were no official subtitles...). The content also got A LOT longer. If you stick with the old videos, some of them got reuploaded by fans with subs but not all of them.
I love watching behind the scenes stuff!!! Thank you for the heads up on the cc's I'm going to have to make sure I look into it as it I add songs/videos to playlists!
@Rogue Reacts you won't regret it, the videos get better and better and way more unhinged! They also started vlogging a few years in and now we went from 5 minutes to multi-part feature length vlogs that most members even edit themselves! Truly a glow-up haha
There was a ballad they did when they was still minx titled "like you" even tho minx didn't last, that song was my favorite song from their minx day.
Looks like I’m gonna need to check it out!! ☺️
I think I saw Minx's MVs before they were re-debuted as Dreamcatcher, and I watched those MVs with my eyes half-closed. Being a man, the MV was ''interesting' to me but also makes me uncomfortable somehow, though oddly I can watch MV with similar vibes from other groups just fine. Then I saw Chase Me and immediately interested in the group, before finally realising a few years later that the members are actually from Minx. The shock was real!
I get it! A part of me was like what are they doing but also Love Shake is a bop!
Nice reaction.
Fyi, if you're going to keep watching the behind the scenes of the MVs and/or othe DC content from the Happyface channel, then i suggest, a fan channel named 7Dreamers for the Eng subs would good.
Ooooo thank you for the suggestion! I’ll check out their channel! ☺️
If you want subtitles for making of or old videos, check 7 Dreamers or 7dreamSubs channels, they have almost all old videos subtitled
thank you for the heads up!!! 😊
It’s my bday month so can’t think of anything better 🎉
Awww yay ☺️ Happy birthday!!!!! 🎉
@@roguereacts Thank you!!
hey i heard you said that WDYCTMH and love shake was the only songs that they came out whit as minx its actually wrong love shake was the title track of a mini album and there is 3 more songs: shut up, superstar superman and i just like you :D
love the reactions tho and you could see the talent the girls had even back then they just got drowned out by bigger groups and im thankful for dreamcatcher :D and the highnote of Siyeon in WDYCTMH is amazing
good to know!!! I might have to add that mini album to the list 😊
There is a version of the Chase Me making video with English subs on this channel www.youtube.com/@7dreamers831/videos They did translations for a lot of early Dreamcatcher before the company realized where their fanbase was.
I'm really tired of the 'trauma' thing so all I'm going to say is that they performed Love Shake at their Halloween Concert last year. They had fun, the audience loved it, Gahyeon and Handong were happy because they'd always wanted to do it, so trauma over and forgotten as it should be.
Omg thank you for this! I’m gonna have to check out their channel and the Halloween concert performance!
Love shake is so great, I absolutely love that song 🥰😅
it's a bop!
Hi, nice reaction, if look at the lyrics of the Nightmare series, we are the guy in the video, they bewitched us, traped us in the dreamworld and we don't want to run away.
Love that! 💙
NOT ME GIGGLING HYSTERICALLY WHEN I SAW THE TITLE OF THIS VIDEO.
Did you see my face?!? I was unsure of what I was watching 🤣🤣
@@roguereacts I DID AND LITERALLY COULD NOT BREATHE I WAS GIGGLING SO HARD.
I'm enjoying your reaction always! I Support you from Austria!
🥰 Thank you!!
The shock value of seeing Minx vs Dreamcatcher ALWAYS makes me giggle hysterically. I love that SuA still raps here and there, because she's REALLY frickin' swaggy and just amazing at everything she does. Siyeon and her wild belts and whistle notes have always been a thing, like I find it too funny people try to say Siyeon has bad vocals. Like INSERT BITCH WHERE MEME HERE. She has stylized vocals because she was in a rock/metal band prior to debuting in Minx (I believe), but yeaaaaaaaaah so happy that Dreamcatcher was the result of Minx pseudo-failure. (Love Shake is a bop tho. Ain't gonna lie. Lol. There's an OT7 version of Love Shake that they did at one of the stops on their US tour with Gahyeon and Dongie, and they also did it on Weekly Idol.)
I’m am going to have to check out the OT7 version! I’m still shook from the major difference between the two lol like damn!
@@roguereacts It is for sure jarring at first but then seeing them perform it OT7 is so heartwarming!
Not lying, the love shake mini album is quite good. "Shut Up" is awesome! The harmonizing they did on the ballad...I wish they'd bring that element more prominently back into their DC ballads.
oh boy do I need to add the mini album to the list???
@@roguereacts sure!
It's been almost 9 years since Minx debuted, and JiU looks like she hasn't aged a day. So much respect for her because the Minx concept is clearly her natural self; and she had to adapt the most to Dreamcatcher's new concept.
she truly has not aged at all 🤣 she is blessed with those good gene's!
Dreamcatcher did an OT7 performance of Love Shake at a concert once
omg I saw it and it was fantastic!!
They are really beautiful and cute on Love Shake, but the shock is too big 🤣
I was like wtf… who are these girls 🤣 completely different
In order to be able to classify MINX better, it is certainly helpful to get an idea of DalShabet. This group was Happyface's previous leading group.

I have to tell you I love your t-shirt GRrrrr I'm a leo, like Sua we have the same birthday ( August 10 )
I show kpop to my 7 year old daughter she loves Dreamcatcher, I showed her all the MV, live performance, and a few days ago I showed her Minx.... She said to me: " Mom Love Shake is my favorite song" 😅🤦🏻♀️
I can't wait for the next video!!!
Take Care ❤️
not the love shake being the favorite!! 🤣🤣 this is one of my favorite shirts! hehehe
i would say that i love the "making video" but it's sad when they don't have subs
me too! Next ones I do I'm gonna try and find some sub ones 😊

Wow... That's almost decade old (Minx)... I think Yoohyeon and Dami were still in High school.... I wonder if Dreamcatcher will do 10 year anniversary content next year....
omg I hope they do!!!
Gracias por la oportunidad constante a las chicas 🥺💗, sU próximo comeback será en mayo, estaré ansiosa de ver tu reacción. ❤️
Thank you for watching! Im excited for the 25th comeback!!!
Dreamcatcher are extremely prolific. I'm not sure there's another group that puts out as much content as they do, at least not one I've come across. I've been pretty deep into the rabbit hole for about a year and I'm still nowhere near being through all their behind-the-scenes stuff.
I legitimately really like WDYCTMH. I honestly feel like if they'd released a second song similar in sound to it and hadn't waiting 10 months between releases, they would have done much better. Love Shake is less my taste of music but it's funny to see people's reactions to is when they're used to Dreamcatcher. You're right though that it's a testament to the fact that they can do any sound really, which you'll get to experience as you go through the albums. I'm still holding out for a Dreamcatcher mini album covering of all of Minx sunbaenim's songs done with DCs rock flair.
Looking forward to the rest of your reactions
OMG if they did a mini album doing that.... damn that would be AMAZING!!
Minx was the typical 2014-2015 girl group sound. Was it good, yes, but at the same time it did not stand out. And having their debut song as a single did not really help. At the time of minx- Jiu and SuA were 20, Siyeon was 18 but basically just shy of 19, 2yoo were 17 and finishing high school. Minx, early DC were rapper SuA, though we have been getting a little bit of rapper SuA with the new stuff. They have performed an ot7 Love Shake- weekly idol had a snippet, apocalypse in Seoul had the full stage and Siyeon can still hit those whistle notes. Jiu, the woman sounds and looks basically the same.. Dami and Siyeon are the Minx members that have changed the most. Love Shake was a mini album, shut up and I just like you are the songs from that minx album i listen to the most.. there is also a club mix of love Shake.
Very few girl groups in 2014 went outside the expected sound- one that did was my other girl group Stan: Mamamoo. Other groups went cute, Mamamoo went jazz and vintage 50s.
I can see how they could totally get lost in the mix during that time. I have added the OT7 Love Shake version to the deep dive, can't wait to check it out!!
:))) my deukae prevailed and kept on shining
that's right they did!! 💙💙💙
New subscriber here! Love it! I don't mind a new video everyday. 😂
Thank you for the subscribe! Hope you enjoy the videos ☺️☺️
There were more songs, they had an album that both appeared on (I think it was like five songs, which is not un-heard-of for a first album from K-Pop). I don't have the album or the track list but this would be easily searchable because of the finite number of songs with Minx' name attached.
sooooo what I'm hearing I might need to add it to the list for later on??
@@roguereacts I think it might still be somewhere on the internet but if it is not on the old happyface YT channel, I really don't know what to tell you. Likely in their Playlists. They actually took the album off the shelves, you will never find a new one and I bet it would be worth a pretty penny now that DC has hit it big.
@@roguereacts But if you can find all that, please do add the songs to your list. That would be great fun! lol
I love how Love Shake has a cult following
I mean I can see why... but also huh?! Like if I didn't know them what so ever and you played two songs Love Shake and like Scream back to back and told me they were basically the same group I would not believe you one bit 🤣
@@roguereacts it was a running joke with Dongie and Gahyeon always goofing with the other members because of it. You should listen to the Dreamcatcher version of it.
@@BEcauseILoveYooh I added it to the list!!!
oh my god,,, you..open the pandora's box...
I broke that box WIDE open! 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you
no thank you for watching! 😊
Dreamcatcher ！Minx ！
Wild that they started off as Minx blows my mind…
wait what is minx😭 it’s giving 2nd gen and i love it, but can’t wait to discover the now dreamcatcher that seems very different
5 members of Dreamcatcher originally debut under Minx, (3rd gen) then re-debut as Dreamcatcher with two additional members about 3 years later! Dreamcatcher's journey and story is absolutely amazing, and those women went through so much to get to where they are now!
I hope you enjoy the journey! 🥰
@@roguereacts oh thanks for the answer, that’s very interesting! also i was wondering if that makes dreamcatcher a 4th gen group??
LOL... MINX didn't disband! They rebranded for a couple reasons. A. Happyface were idiots to try to create DalShabet 2.0 when version 1 wasn't a huge success. B. 3rd Gen had taken a decidedly darker tone from 2nd Gen and MINX sits in that 2.5 area were no one knew what the hell they were doing. That being said MINX does show up in Dreamcatcher content(I'm looking at you Millenasia project!). I've always believed that MINX is who the women are off stage and Dreamcatcher is their stage persona. Let's also not forget the two biggest fangirls of MINX are Handong and Gahyeon!
oh you going WAY back in this deep dive lol yes I very much learned they rebranded lol I 1000% agree with you Minx is them off stage and DC is their on stage persona lol
@@roguereacts Yeah I'll be honest I discovered your channel... Well... yesterday. It's always a joy for me to see new people getting in to K-pop. I'm an early 2nd gen convert. Wonder Girls intrigued me, but SNSD(specifically Sunny) grabbed me by the throat and dragged me (quite willingly) down this rabbit hole.
I like the song Love Shake I just don't like the video. Some of them were teenagers and they were made to wear tiny shorts and shake their butts while a camera zoomed in on them. Dami was literally underage. The song is an absolute bop though, I often listen to it on the way to work to wake me up.
song was a bop the video definitely was not...
I was surprised that you did not turn on the subs for Chase Me. Oops. I hope you will check them out. :)
the video I had didn't have cc's just the auto generated... 😭
@@roguereacts Oh, wow! I don't know how that happened, I have not seen a version of the MV that was not lyric-capable since about six weeks after the song was released. You must have found a really rare version to react to! Try changing the language settings in your YT account, there should be multiple settings so if American English does not work, then UK should.
One of their recent songs only had Jamaican English as a setting, which I thought was weird but it works anyway.
Or, a worse problem, your computer is bugged... I hope it's simply a case of the former and not the latter...
@@jamescurfman3284 definitely will play around with some settings!!
@@roguereacts I REALLY HOPE that is all the problem is... Or maybe just restart the computer... IDK, just spit-balling. Try all the little fixes before moving on to having to look at something huge, could literally just be nothing. lol
waiting for baby monster final last ep8.. tanks
wrong channel bro... check the YG Channel for more info on that
Already did it 👍🏻
Waiting for itzy
wrong channel bro, check the JYP Channel for more info on them...
Itzy’s discovery is coming soon!
Minx era makes me uncomfortable, it's a bit awkward, they are so young and both clips have very sexualized zoom, very tendentious so I understand why they didn't like that period especially as it has nothing to do with their musical fibre
Seriously I was like what am I watching here….
