27 Jul 2020 MediaSR: August issue of ‘ImpactSTAR” Features Concept Master Dreamcatcher as Cover Model

 The August issue of the Korean style magazine “ImpactSTAR” was released, containing summer stories of many celebrities. The group Dreamcatcher, the original concept masters, was featured on the cover.

 

“Impact STAR” is a monthly Korean style magazine that covers the fashion, beauty, and life trends of celebrities. The August cover photo shows Dreamcatcher trying out a new concept previously unseen from them.

 

Unlike the intense appearance they have showcased on stage so far, Dreamcatcher faced the camera donning a mild, romantic look on the day of the photoshoot. “Impact STAR” says that Dreamcatcher brightened the mood of the venue throughout the whole photoshoot and won the admiration of the on-site staff with their skillful posing and facial expressions.

 

Dreamcatcher is a 7-member group that debuted in 2017 which consists of the Korean members JiU, Sua, Siyeon, Yoohyeon, Dami and Gahyeon as well as the Chinese member Handong. They have used unique themes such as nightmares and dreams in their world-building and are loved both domestically and internationally for their dark concepts, which sets them apart from pre-existing girl groups. The Chinese member Handong is currently barred from promoting in Korea with the rest of the team due the Covid-19 outbreak.

 

The photoshoot shows Dreamcatcher trying out diverse concepts under the theme of “Sailor, Dreamcatcher”. First, Dreamcatcher showed off a vivid feeling with colorful costumes. They then depicted a “beautiful dream” that is unique to them with romantic, lovely styling.

 

After that, they commented on many topics including how they feel about their online concert, how they miss Handong and their future aspirations. Dreamcatcher’s JiU told MediaSR that “we wanted to do a photoshoot and we’re so glad to have done it with ‘Impact STAR.'” “Us members got to record our pretty moments, so it was a meaningful time,” she said, commenting on the photoshoot.

 

“The cheers and the calls for encores were missed,” said Siyeon as she talked about their recent successful online concert. She then said “Getting to show a performance to our fans in real time felt like coming back to life.”

 

About Handong, who is unable to join the rest of the group, Sua said “I’m saddened that the time we have to stay apart from Handong grew longer than expected.” “There’s still a spot left for Handong. I only hope that she returns in good health,” she said, demonstrating their strong bond.

 

On their future aspirations, Dami said “there still are plenty of concepts we have not tried yet. I want to write our own songs, and go on reality TV shows.” Yoohyeon also shared her wish, saying “our goal is to appear on end of year shows or award shows and provide great performances.” Gahyeon was anxious to show off their charms, saying “I hope people recognize how charismatic we are on stage and how bright we are off stage.”
