Handong's low and mid range really got used the right way so she has such a big presence through the entire album this time. I love the song about the vanity and fakeness, is sung by women that don't need any of the editing shown in the video and Siyeon showed her natural curly hair in a m/v for the first time.

Thanks for checking out OOTD and the EP! I'm really looking forward to seeing how they conclude this Duology.

[@avalii]

oh! I haven't heard anything about "duology" before this comment
if that's the case, I'm really looking forward to it!

@@avalii Siyeon said that we wouldn't fully understand the concept until we see part two so I'm excited to see where they take it.

At first glance you could think OOTD is about them being proud and happy with themselves, about confidence. I don't think that is it though. The album is called VersuS VillainS, which makes me think it is not this simple. So I believe this song is meant as a criticism of narcissism, vanity, materialism and also (maybe) the fast fashion industry. "OOTD" stands for "Outfit of the Day" after all, maybe it's about useless instagram influencers posting videos of their outfit of the day, which also promotes fast fashion.
The fact that fashion is moving ever faster makes it the most destructive industry to the planet only outdone by the fossil fuel industry. The Aral lake has all but disappeared because of the cotton industry for example. It would fit to the Villain image, and you can see in the MV that they are acting. It is shown in the scene where Yoohyeon and Handong are fighting, but then the camera is off and Handong helps Yoohyeon up.
The main reason why I don't think it is about confidence or their own success is the line "Driving on the highway, drunken everyday, do you feel like a monster?" and the album title. That just doesn't fit. And there was the ymenehcra (arch enemy backwards) account posting about touching a crown is dangerous and other cryptic messages before the comeback.
It could also be a big and well-hidden F*U to the Kpop industry, like the Nightmare arc probably was. The narcissism and materialism is definitely criticized here, and Dreamcatcher have been criticized a lot themselves because of their rock/metal concept, while other groups have been celebrated for using a guitar riff once in a song. And Handong standing in front of the camera with bruises all over her legs seems to be a comment on the merciless industry as well.
The music is highly interesting as well. The Rock is dirty and distorted. The song structure is not what you'd expect at all, for me it is punk rock meets K-Pop. Not their usual spiel, but a very good progression. It takes a couple of listens to really appreciate it.

what an essay here! Dreamcatcher has always been kinda saying f u to k-pop industry. at least, that's what I feel like. they have been doing it differently, you know

[@avalii]

thank u so much for sharing your thoughts!
at first, I definitely thought of confidence. that's what can be seen in the reaction. and I don't think that it's wrong. as SuA said something about "thirty sexy" concept.
but I also don't think that it's only about confidence anymore. this whole "crown" thing and twitter account... so, your theory is really interesting!
