Question: What’s one item you need to bring with you on tour?
YOOHYEON: I always have to bring a book with me! Especially when I’m on a plane for a long time, if I am just on my phone I can’t fall asleep very easily and it’s very boring.

DAMI: I always take a long, deep breath before I go up because I want to calmly show everything I’ve prepared one by one.

Question: You wrote several songs for InSomnia, such as Reason, Full Moon and Over The Sky. How do your fans influence your music and performances?
JI U: Most of our music and performances are made based on InSomnia’s preferences so what InSomnia like has a significant impact on Dreamcatcher’s music and performance.
Question: In your journey as Dreamcatcher, how do you feel your music and concepts have evolved, and what can fans expect in the future?

It feels like we have evolved by showing off our unique musical color through a diverse range of music. We're thankful that fans enjoy our music not just for us, but for the music itself, and moving forward we want to show that Dreamcatcher has no limits.
