‘Han Seung-woo Joins’ VICTON to Reveal ‘Continuous’ Track List…a high degree of perfection

VICTON (VICTON), a group that will make a comeback with a seven-member system, has predicted a highly complete album.

The agency’s PlayM Entertainment released the track list of its sixth mini album “Continuous” on VICTON’s official SNS and fan cafe at midnight on Monday.

VICTON’s new sixth mini-album “Continuous” tells each track the story of “we’re still connected before the end of love,” just like the album’s name means “something that’s never stopped.”

The title track “Howling” is a song about looking at past love and wishing to be together forever, and the songwriting team of “TIME OF SORROW,” considered one of VICTON’s masterpieces, once again catches the eye for supporting shots.

The agency said it will offer a deeper emotional and masculine look as an extension of its previous film “Nostalgic Night,” raising expectations for its comeback.

The album is filled with a total of five colorful genres, including the title track “Howling,” “Nightmare,” “All I Know,” “Petal” and “White Night.” Members such as Han Seung-woo, Heo Chan, Do Han-se, Kang Seung-sik and Lim Se-jun participated in the song writing and added color to the group, while talented writers such as Ryan, Hidden Sound, Kim Tae-joo and Kigen helped boost the completion of the album.

Preorders for the new album “Continuous” will begin today (21 days) on major online music sites, and further details will be available on VICTON’s official SNS and fan cafe.

VICTON will release its sixth mini album “Continuous” on March 9, about a year and 10 months after its first single “TIME OF SORROW,” under a seven-member system that includes Han Seung-woo. VICTON’s comeback is already drawing keen attention as it continues its relentless growth by opening the second act of the successful group with its six-member system album “Nostalgia” last year.

DREAMCATCHER is back with a new song, “Feeling like a Warground,” and its goal is to become a beast.

Girl group Dreamcatcher announced the start of the interview with a cheerful greeting, “Dream of me.” Colorful hair colors such as bright brown (Dami), gray (Yuhyun), black hair (Gahyeon and Siyeon), bright purple (Jiyu), and reddish brown (Sua) seemed to indicate that new activities have begun.

Dreamcatcher released its first full-length album, “Distopia: The Tree of Language,” with a total of 14 songs in three years since its debut with “Wake Up” in January 2017. When the album was released, it met six Dreamcatcher Dami, Yoohyeon, Gahyeon, Jiyu and Sua in Nonhyeon-dong, southern Seoul, on the afternoon of the 18th.

◇Full of first full-length album and 14 songs released in three years

“Distopia: The Tree of Language” is the result of Dreamcatcher completing the epic poem of “Wake Up,” which he has drawn since his debut, and opening up a new world view. As you can see from the title “Distopia,” the story of Dreamcatcher has melted into a world that is darkened by language with scars.

“When people say nice things, the white fruit opens up and the black fruit opens up. When they say bad things, the black fruit opens up. Words can bring happiness and hurt. We’ve melted something about language into this album as a social factor,” he said.

When asked if he’d ever thought about the theme of “Distopia,” Siyeon said, “I can say that it’s the opposite of utopia, but it really seems to be in everyday life. I think that if you get hurt anywhere, it can be your own dystopia,” he said.

While working in Japan for a short period of four months, Dreamcatcher was confident that the album would meet both ‘quality and quantity.’ It has 14 songs including the intro and outro that are not excluded from the Dreamcatcher album.

Jiyu said, “We were sad that we only released digital singles or mini albums with limited number of songs. Many people call it “the best non-title tracks” because they put in quality songs, but this album seems to have brought out both quality and quantity. Insomnia (Dreamcatcher’s fans) will also be satisfied I thought that our members worked really hard for the past three years

Members’ participation was also higher than ever. Jiu, Siyeon and Dami participated in writing the lyrics for “Black Or White” and Jiu, Siyeon, Yoohyeon and Dami participated in writing the lyrics for “Jazz Bar.” The demonstration is the last track and his solo track, ‘Parada’.participated in the writing and composing of ‘Is’.

Siyeon said, “Everyone got a chance to write the lyrics and worked hard to get four people to participate in the album. Personally, I feel like I have a know-how in writing lyrics, and I feel that the members’ values and thoughts are slightly different. The same theme came up with a different. I wanted to release a song that only we participated in. It’s going to be fun,” he said.

◇The title song ‘Scream’, Rock+Electronica

The title track is “Scream,” the second track. “Scream” is based on rock but harmonizes with electronica sounds. The lyrics motif the witch hunt of the Middle Ages, and the screams in the middle are the points.

Jiyoo said, “The beat is like ‘dda-dda-dda-dda-dda-dda-dda-dda-dda-dda-dda!” So I thought for the first time… ‘Oh, dance! That must be tough. “I thought the choreography would be tough.” Yoo-hyun said, “There’s a scream coming out in the middle, and I was wondering if what I just heard was right.” I think I was very impressed by that unique element.

“The song itself was very reminiscent of a battlefield,” said Sua, who mentioned that “Dreamcatcher has been drawing attention for performance and concept, but there have not been many dance breaks. I think I can smash it all! I was happy because I felt like I was always improving,” he said.

“Our members talk about everything they want to do (actively),” Sua said. “I definitely said that I want the choreography to be tight this time, and I think the choreography came out as we wanted.

“This feeling of two bound hands / Everyone throws stones at me / can’t get rid of them / I’m not funny at all / I’m not funny for anyone / Tell me / Somebody tell me / Now/ please I don’t want to scream on a burning fire is heavy to hear.

Jiyu said, “A witch hunt is what makes a person in a difficult situation, when people say unreliable words. Because we’re celebrities, we could have a lot of rumors about that… Not only us, but also our young friends who go to school are very hurt by words. It has a message that we should be careful about that,” he explained.

When asked if Dreamcatcher had a similar experience, Gahyeon said, “I have,” but replied, “I try to communicate with my fans more often, even if that’s the case.” “I read a lot of bad comments on V LIVE, but I can’t always be happy in my life,” she said, laughing both the reporters and the members.

“There are more good comments than those,” said Sua, “if there are such malicious comments, fans report them. Then I think, ‘Oh, you’re on my side.’

◇ “Dreamcatcher has been Dreamcatcher!I want to hear the reaction.

DREAMCATCHER is considered one of the most vivid idol groups with the music and concept they are aiming for. It is steadily presenting Young Metal based on rock sound, and it also provides fans with fun to delve into it by interpreting it with an intense concept and worldview that evokes curiosity called “Wake Up.”

When asked if the image that comes to mind when it comes to “Dreamcatcher” was certain, Siyeon said, “You know that we have a concept and we have metal, so you have more expectations for us. I think that expectation is the driving force behind our efforts to work harder.

Jiyu said, “There was a time when our family was in a dilemma, and if we suddenly faltered while insisting on one style, it would be no good.” Popularity is important for now, but I think it’s important to keep building our style. “If we go on our way, they will recognize us (the public),” he said bravely.

When asked if Dreamcatcher seems to have contributed to the growing trend of idol groups with clear concepts and world views, the members responded with a smile. “There are definitely a lot of girl crush and cool concepts these days,” Sua said. “I think we read the trend quickly. I think the public will like the rock genre someday.

Jiyu said, “I think idol groups’ musicality is also getting better. Having a worldview is not about following anyone, it’s about creating a story of their own, so I think it’s developing really well.”

Dreamcatcher, who has constantly appeared on new songs and stages without any significant hiatus since 2017, has released the long-awaited full-length album, and has successfully completed the tour in Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brazil. When asked what she wanted to achieve with this album, Jiyu said, “Arm idol! The beastly idol who looks like he’s going to jump on a safari!” he replied with a laugh.

“For now, we’d like to have a national tour. The fact that we are on a national tour means that our group is also popular in Korea, so I really want to do it! I hope our album will be on the Billboard album chart. It also means that a full-length album is recognized globally.” (Jiyu)

“The fans are good at saying that. Dreamcatcher did Dreamcatcher. I think it means that we have a lot of individuality. I’d like to hear the response, ‘Oh, it’s a dreamcatcher.’
