K-Pop Spotlight: Dreamcatcher

We’re diving headfirst into the spirit of Halloween and all things spooky in this week’s spotlight with the genre-pushing girl group, Dreamcatcher. We caught up with the group ahead of their HALLOWEEN MIDNIGHT CIRCUS online concert to chat about the upcoming show, their favorite seasonal treats, and getting to spend the holiday with InSomnia. Check out our full interview below!

Tell us about HALLOWEEN MIDNIGHT CIRCUS and what it was like preparing for your latest online concert.

JI U: This time, it’s going to be different from what we’ve done before with the addition of a virtual world. I think it’ll be fascinating seeing the entire stage in a new light. Also, I think it’ll be a fun concert to watch, considering that we will dress up differently for Halloween.

SU A: I’m so excited because it feels like it’s been a while since we’ve done a Halloween concert. I’m really looking forward to what kind of fun concert it will be this time, and I can’t wait to show InSomnia.

SIYEON: We are preparing hard every day to show you a better performance every time. It’s not face-to-face, but I’m looking forward to a similar hot reaction from fans.

HANDONG: We always prepare a lot to show a different side of us at Halloween concerts. I’m excited to see what kind of fun it will be this time.

YOOHYEON: Wow, I really like Halloween, but it’s not my favorite day. Even so, I’m so happy to be able to have a concert the day before when we can feel the (Halloween) atmosphere. I can’t wait to do it!

DAMI: I’m very excited and have high expectations for the new challenges we’re taking on.

GAHYEON: I’m so happy to show you new fresh performances, and I’m looking forward to the fans’ responses.

Describe your dream Halloween costume and why it resonates with you.

JI U: I’ve dressed up as vampire Alice before, and I think it looked really good on me. It has a pure but decadent feeling…

SU A: My dream is to become a completely new person who doesn’t have any traces of my usual self. If I’ve done a lot of pretty things as myself, I think I’d be endlessly curious about the kinds of characters that could appear from me.

SIYEON: I really want to try dressing up as Hela, the villain from Thor: Ragnarok, later. It’s an attractive character that I really like, and I think it would go well with our image on stage.

HANDONG: Unfortunately, I couldn’t perform with choreography last year. This time I’ve picked a costume that fits well with the mood of the song.

YOOHYEON: My dream Halloween costume is actually Peter Pan…Haha, it’s a character that I really really like, and I’ve always wanted to do it even before Halloween. The outfit is what it is, and it’s really hard to get! I hope I get to show it to you one day!

DAMI: I want to try the Black Widow costume someday. It was suggested to me, and I think a tight leather bodysuit would look good on me.

GAHYEON: Vampire? I think red lipstick looks good on me.
