‘Dreamcatcher’ 1st Mini album [Prequel]

Seven Nightmares, the beginning of that fantasy story. [Prequel]
The beginning of Dreamcatcher's "Seven Nightmares" story lifts the veil.
Dreamcatcher's first mini album [Prequel], as the name suggests, is an album about the story that preceded of "Chase Me" and "Good Night".

While the previous two singles told the story of Dreamcatcher who became nightmares and the "Dreamhunters", this new mini-album, "Prequel", is a commentary that answers the question of why girls became nightmares.

Even before the album was released, Dreamcatcher worked hard on their promotion. Continuing the opposite concept of teaser images that they tried in their previous singles, they incorporated the fantasy story of "Prequel" into the objects in each image, which received a lot of attention.

In particular, the case of the teasers, in line with the concept of going from a girl to a nightmare, we set the release time to midnight and sunset, the time when darkness falls, to stimulate curiosity. In addition, the mystery code that could be inferred from the concept and the title track drew enthusiastic responses from fans.

As it was their first mini album, they went the extra mile. For the teaser photos, Taebaek in Gangwon Province was selected as the shooting location to express the charm of the girls and a nightmare reversal against the backdrop of nature, the music video filmed in Paris, France, to capture an exotic and unique atmosphere.

The mini-album is expected to quench the thirst of those who have been waiting for the releases since the singles. The album includes a charming intro to start the album, the title track "Fly High" by the producer SEION, who is attracting attention with numerous hits, and various tracks such as "Wake Up", "Sleep Walking" and "Trust Me" (괜찮아!) to enrich the album.

A new fantasy story from Dreamcatcher [Prequel]. Now it's time to open the door.

‘Dreamcatcher’ 1st Mini album [Prequel]

일곱 악몽, 그 판타지 스토리의 시작. [Prequel]
'일곱 악몽' 드림캐쳐 이야기의 시작이 베일을 벗는다.
드림캐쳐의 첫 번째 미니앨범 [Prequel]은 그 이름처럼 앞서 선보였던 'Chase Me'와 'Good Night', 그 이전의 이야기를 다룬 앨범이다.

앞선 두 싱글에서 악몽이 된 드림캐쳐와 일명 '드림헌터'의 이야기를 다뤘다면, 이번 새 미니앨범 [Prequel]은 '소녀들은 왜 악몽이 되었나'라는 그간의 의문에 대한 해답을 담은 해설서와 같은 작품이다.

드림캐쳐는 본 앨범을 발매하기 전부터 프로모션 작업에 심혈을 기울였다. 기존 싱글에서 시도했던 상반된 콘셉트의 티저 이미지를 이어가면서도 [Prequel]에 담긴 판타지 스토리를 각 이미지 속 오브제에 녹여내며 뜨거운 관심을 받았다.

특히 티저의 경우 소녀에서 악몽이 된 콘셉트에 맞춰, 기존에 콘텐츠를 공개했던 자정과 어둠이 내려앉는 일몰 시간을 공개 시점으로 잡아 호기심을 자극했다. 아울러 콘셉트와 타이틀곡을 유추할 수 있는 미스터리 코드로 팬들의 열띤 호응을 이끌기도 했다.

첫 미니앨범인 만큼, 남다른 공을 들였다. 티저 사진의 경우 강원도 태백을 촬영지로 선정해 대자연을 배경으로 소녀와 악몽의 반전 매력을 표현했으며, 뮤직비디오는 프랑스 파리 올 로케이션으로 제작해 이국적이면서도 독특한 분위기를 담아냈다.

이번 미니앨범은 그간 싱글의 볼륨감에 목말랐던 이들의 갈증을 풀어줄 것으로 기대된다. 앨범을 시작하는 매력적인 인트로, 수많은 히트곡으로 주목받고 있는 여성 프로듀서 SEION의 타이틀곡 '날아올라(Fly high)', 그리고 'Wake up', 'Sleep-walking', '괜찮아!' 등 다양한 트랙들을 수록해 앨범을 더욱 풍성하게 만들었다.

드림캐쳐가 선사하는 새로운 판타지 스토리 [Prequel]. 이제 그 문을 열 차례다.
