Going to try and answer questions as I watch. Trying to pick top 5 Dreamcatcher songs are...difficult. I've been trying to go through and rank their Discography for another reactor who's doing a "Your top 10 Dreamcatcher Songs" video in a few months when he finishes his ranking and it's incredibly hard. He gotten tons of replies and the last time he updated us every song in their discography has been nominated in a top 10 position except for 2 songs. Thats mostly because everything they release is quality and it really just comes down to preference and if you have a pretty wide taste in music then you end up with something like a Ballad competing against something like Scream. For the solos on Apocalypse: Save Us, all the members had a hand in writing and production as well. There are a lot of songs in their discography that were either written or composed by the members. Somewhere between 30 - 40% of all their tracks have been touched by the members in some way, whether it's writing, composition, production, or choreography. - Members - Jiu tells terrible dad jokes. They're pretty much always terrible and cringe. There's some stuff in Korean that doesn't translate well like some phrases or words having a double meaning or sounding very similar to something else that means something vulgar or bad. Yea, Sua is a "sub" vocalist, but those positions haven't been updated since the Minx Days. She's easily a main vocal in most other groups and is incredibly talented. As you can tell, she's also insane, lol. She's amazing. Stripped shirt was Jiu, you got it right. It took me a long time to recognize them as well. It will come with time. Siyeon has a really powerful voice, and a lot of people think that's all she's capable of, but she's also got ridiculous vocal dexterity and can do some crazy stuff vocally. Siyeon has several OSTs she's done over the years and one she did with Dami. She's also ridiculously goofy. Handong has such a unique tone to her voice. It's got so much warmth to it. I believe she trained as a stage performer and came to Korea to continue her education at university. Her professor told her she should audition to be an idol and that's how she ended up in Dreamcatcher. She only had 6 months of training before debuting and still struggled with Korean, so she had very few lines early in their discography. After her time in China, she gained a lot more confidence and came back with a renewed purpose. Since then, she's gotten way more lines and has shown off new dimensions to her voice. Handong's parts in songs are often my favorite because her voice is often at transitional moments, like bridges and pre-choruses, and you get a lot of moments where it's just her voice with very little instrumentation. - Random Stuff - Yea, Dreamcatcher Intros are always great. Dreamcatcher has well over 100 covers if you count the ones that were only done for stages and they're all awesome. They probably have cover videos for 50-60 on their YT channel, but I've not done a count to verify. I know there's over 100 videos in the list now, but some are videos for b-sides. Looking forward to part 2!
Since I like blackpink and they have no more than 30 songs, I could not imagine trying to pick 5 songs from dreamcatcher since they have a TON of songs released, thank you for the little info about the members. Another thing I was surprised with was how handong basically made her way into the group with little experience, she HAVE to be good
@@teggy3 Blackpink were my introduction to KPop. I got into them during COVID when they released How You Like That. I really wished that YG hadn't kept them in the basement and let them make/release more music and I still hope we'll get more from them in the future but I'm not optimistic about it. I'm still looking forward to what each of the members do individually though. Maybe one day we will have more songs to pick from, lol.
Don't worry too much at this point about telling the women apart. I took me month to be able to distinguish SuA from Siyeon, and even Dongie's mom had trouble telling her from Yoohyeon when they both had blond hair at the same time.
