Members of Dreamcatcher are a little more different than most k-pop stars. Although many idols have their unique talents and a special signature move or line, Dreamcatcher Members seem to put themselves in a completely different category.

With a theme to their band, or one specific choreography that makes them known and loved. Members of Dream Catcher are actually different in theme from other bands. In more explicit terms, a Korean girl group with the theme of fear.
Each member of the group represents a certain fear and for k-pop groups that keep their theme mostly hip hop, this was definitely something new. The industry of Korean entertainment has been bringing out a lot of themes never mentioned before. One is fear. Of course, many themes are overused and some aren’t even touched, but fear is an entirely new concept. Additionally bringing in the question. Why fear? There are always so many other themes that one could speak about, so why fear? Maybe it’s something the members feel sensitive to and decided to somehow fight their fears? Everyone knows exactly how much pressure idols have. This could be one reason why that became the main theme.

Relationship Status and Personal Life
A question very frequently asked is, what is the relationship status of these members? Who are they currently with and what who were they formerly with? Members of Dreamcatcher, since making their debut, have not been involved in any relationships. The reason that they have mentioned is that they wish to focus on building their careers at the moment and do not have time for a relationship.
However, none of the interviews conducted in their past relationships were revealed. Maybe the reason for that is because the members wish to humbly live their life and talk about their personal lives. Nonetheless, fans root for these stars and do not impose where they shouldn’t. After all, even idols are humans, and their decisions should be respected.
