-It's been 6 months since debut. It seems the past 6 months have been extraordinary.

▶(Ji-U) Now it will soon be 200 days since our debut. Since we debut, we're doing our first fanmeeting (July 30). The fanmeeting tickets sold out in 1 minutes. We had said among the members that we hope they will sell out quickly, but that was the reality, so we're really glad. 'Our activities are doing well,' so we're proud.

(SuA) We debuted in winter, so winter, to spring, until summer, it's good to let you hear different songs each season. The colors are all different for each song. We are proud that our fans can listen to richer songs.

(Dami) It's already been 6 months. I didn't even know what day or time it was. We really didn't rest and worked to release cover songs in the middle. Because of that, there's more time we saw fans than time we didn't see fans. When I thought of this last night, I was proud, and I fell asleep happily.

(Handong) A lot of people have come to know Dreamcatcher, so I'm happy. I think we will be able to show more varieties of appearances, anticipating. Foreign fans also like our music, so I'm glad. We went to Japanese promotions and our fans increased a lot. I'm grateful every day.

(Yoohyeon) The goal this year was to release three albums in one year, and it's going as planned, so I'm happy. I'm striving not to lose my original intention.

(Siyeon) When we promoted as Minx, I was sad that we couldn't stand on stage more. With Dreamcatcher, we don't rest and we are promoting, I'm glad my wish came true. And I'm glad we can show more variety of appearances. We are going to a rock festival on August 5th too.

(Gahyeon) It''s praiseworthy to release our third album before our 200th day. The fans are increasing. I think we must do better. Someone released a fancam of our performance in Ulsan and people watched it and said it was great.

-Even so, it seems like promoting those 6 months without rest would not be easy.

▶(Ji-U) After debuting as Dreamcatcher, a while ago we received our first 5 day vacation.

(Siyeon) They said we worked hard, so they gave us a vacation. The vacation ended, and as soon as we went back, we had a schedule (laughs).

(SuA) It was very healing to go home. My family also works, so got time off at the same time as me. I promised again that I must work hard for my parents.

- The concept is dark, but seeing the interview's atmosphere, you seem to be usually very cheerful.

▶(Ji-U) Haha. We're usually active. This time, even when we filmed the music video, in the time we rest we play outside.

-The music video was filmed in Paris, France.

▶(Ji-U) Originally it was Malaysia, (AUTHOR WAS SHOCKED!!!!!) but we switched it with Paris to match more with this album's concept. An antique feeling.

(SuA) The music video had the feeling we hoped for. While on one hand the beautiful nature is magnificent, there's an eerie feeling.

-Like a dreamcatcher, do you each have something like a lucky charm?

▶(Gahyeon) I can't sleep without a doll. When we go overseas, I sleep after putting dolls on both sides of my head. Without that, I have the feeling I won't sleep comfortably.

(Yoohyeon) A clear goal is my life's dreamcatcher. I think having a clear goal is a big part of life. Even the taste of life comes out (laughs). My goal is to busk when I go abroad freely. But I can't play guitar well (laughs). Now I must learn.

(Dami) I think having time alone is important. Time just by yourself. You must have your own time, I think it cleans up your thoughts and reorganizes the things you've forgotten.

(SuA) For me it's curiosity. I have a lot of curiosity, and since writing in my journal a lot, I notice I don't want to do anything on days without curiosity. Even though I'm getting older, my life that doesn't lose its curiosity is my dreamcatcher.

(Siyeon) I think my life's dreamcatcher is the members. I'm very shy, I'm a homebody. Daegu people go out to restaurants, so I think I can spend time alone like this because of the members.

(Ji-U) The dreamcatcher of my life is perfume. When I buy perfume, I have clarity. When I spray this perfume, I don't make mistakes on stage. When I spray this perfume, I lose weight. When I think like that and spray it on, I'm stable. Ah, there's another thing. The day before doing important things, I never pluck hairs on my face. Like trimming my eyebrows. So the day before a stage, I don't pluck my eyebrows. I'll trim them on the previous day instead.

(Handong) There is an actual dreamcatcher hung up in front of our dorm. Because of that, I don't have nightmares. There's an effect (laughs).

-Your plans this year?

▶(Ji-U) We're promoting until the end of August, and we're expecting to have Japanese activities in September.

(Siyeon) We've done Japanese promotions before and there are female fans that see us and cry a lot. I think they're touched.

(Ji-U) Our fan base has a similar gender ratio. A while ago, we analyzed the the ticket ratio of our 'Good Night' showcase and it was half and half.

-Why do female fans like Dreamcatcher?

▶(SuA) They say that we are good-looking a lot (laughs). And they say we are a fun group.

-Dreamcatcher's goals for this year?

▶(Ji-U) We have three big things. The first is realistic, it's to enter into the music chart 100. Our second goal is to stand on the stages of the end of the year award ceremonies. Our third is to receive an end of the year ceremony award.

-Is there anything you want to say?

▶(Ji-U) This album has two version, Before and After. There are a lot of photos and it's an album that was painstakingly created. I hope you can meet both albums. I think it will be pretty if everyone collected 4 albums. Your bookshelves will shine (laughs).
