Seoul, South Korea. From a building in the south korean capital, the time and date to speak with the members of Dreamcatcher was set. At 21:00 hours, after a long day of work, the girls do not stop, on the contrary, they go on all day, and this time with an exclusive interview for K-magazine and their Latin American audience.

With smiles on their faces and a pleasant “Hola”, yes, in Spanish, Jiu, Sua, Siyeon, Handong, Yoohyeon, Dami, and Gahyeon ventured to answer all the questions that their fans left for them.

They also gave new details about their latest single “BEcause”, which follows from their summer mini-album ‘Summer Holiday’.

K-magazine: Dreamcatcher has one of the most interesting concepts in the Kpop industry and now they are back with ‘Summer Holiday’. What is this new album about?

JIU: At  ‘Summer Holiday’ we talk about the fun, exciting, weird, or maybe chilling events that occur during Dreamcatcher‘s unique vacation story.

This girl band is, without a doubt, one of the female Kpop groups with a singular and unusual concept based on horror, and rock music style. With this comeback, despite being a summer release where the songs have a more pastel touch, Dreamcatcher continued to be true to their essence and their dark concept that, of course, we love.

K-magazine: How do you define this obsession with love mentioned in “BEcause” and how does it relate to you?

SUA: Personally, I had comfort in interpreting this obsession when thinking about my obsession towards the members of Dreamcatcher (says while laughing). The fans already know that I always want to be by their side. If you think about it this way, you can easily understand the love obsession.

JIU: I think that obsession is similar to perfection. It’s like wishing for a perfect love. And I think this quality has a lot to do with Dreamcatcher as we always yearn for a perfect stage performance. We feel anxious and restless when we are not perfectly prepared, so we always try very hard to be perfect before going on stage.

K-magazine: What did you enjoy the most about making this comeback?

SIYEON: For me, it was that for the first time I wore a full wig during the recording of the video for “BEcause”, so I was able to show a different image, and when I learned that this part represents an awkward doppelganger, I found it chilling. (And saying this, she laughed)

K-magazine: What is the song that surprised you the most when you heard the full album?

DAMI: I was personally touched by listening to “Airplane”. When we record, each one enters the recording studio alone, and we monitor only the original voice, so listening to the final version immersed me in my childhood.

K-magazine: Throughout these years, we have seen how your musical style has evolved without losing its essence. How was this process of combining and being able to work with other styles such as Latin Pop (BOCA) and EDM (Scream)?

DAMI: I personally do a lot of research and do a search for genres that we haven’t tried. I enjoy finding new music and imagining it with our voices, and I am thrilled when our members’ voices are in harmony with this genre. I like this euphoria and it makes me think of another type of music we want to try soon.

K-magazine: We have previously heard these Latin rhythms in your music, do you have a Latin artist in mind with whom you would like to collaborate?

YOOHYUN: I would like to collaborate with Becky G. When I was looking for Becky G videos on YouTube, I saw that she already collaborated with BTS. I wonder what it will be like to collaborate with her, I would like to do it.

K-magazine: The lyrics of your songs are very interesting, strong and at the same time empower your fans. How do you empower them?

SIYEON: We think the best way to support our fans is through music. For example, we have a song called “Tension”, and it has beautiful lyrics that are empowering, I would like to whisper this song to the fans every day. So when we sing lyrics like this we strive to do so with the most sincere feelings of support.

YOOHYUN: Songs like “Scream” and “BOCA” have the warning message towards haters so we always sing being aware of the influence we can cause.

Kmagazine: What is your biggest inspiration that motivates you everyday?

JIU: I always get inspiration from the people around me. Whenever I am in difficult situations and feel depressed, there are at least one or two people who are always there to support me.

K-magazine: What is the moment you will never forget and that you have done together?

YOOHYUN: I recently went to Han River to take a bike ride with Sua, and the sunset was beautiful, a scene I will not forget my whole life. (She answers between laughs).

HANDONG: For me, the concerts and the moments that us the seven members were together performing on stage, those are moments that move me and I will always remember.

Kmagazine: This year we finally see the return of Dreamcatcher with seven members. How has this progress been for HANDONG?

HANDONG: During the time that I was not with them, I saw each of the programs and stages where they performed, and the desire to want to be with them was very big, so before returning I practiced all the choreographies. Before coming I missed them a lot but already here, the concern that I had not danced with them for a long time was bigger. But despite the worry, we were more in sync than I thought and it made me feel happy and at home.

And yes, InSomnia, we did share with the girls some questions that you left us, and they were very grateful.

K-magazine: If you had InSomnia in front of you right now, what would you like to tell them?

DAMI: “Make some noise!!” The cheers from the fans give us a lot of energy but we haven’t heard their screams for a long time so I want to hear them again. (She answers with laughs)

K-magazine: What would be the 5 songs that you would recommend to a new InSomnia?

All: “Chase Me”, “Scream”, “Fullmoon”, “Airplane”, “Jazz Bar” … Listen to all of our songs!

K-magazine: In Latin America we love this dark side concept. If you had to choose one of your favorite witches from television, movie or history, which one would it be and why?

DAMI: Maleficent. She has a strong image but she is sensitive in wanting to protect her stepdaughter and her people. This feeling touched me.

K-magazine: Could you send a special message to your fandom in Mexico and Latin America?

JIU: For us, Latin America is very important, since it was the destination of our world tour. So I wonder how our fans in Latin America are doing. Their support was so passionate that I still can’t forget it. Their passion was so great that I hope they will show it again when we return to see them.

To finish with a flourish, Jiu, Sua, Siyeon, Handong, Yoohyeon, Dami and Gahyeon decided to add a special message for their fans, whom they hope to see soon:
