Dreamcatcher (Korean: 드림캐쳐, romanized: deurimkaechyeo; formerly known as MINX; also stylized as Dream Catcher) is a South Korean girl group formed by Dreamcatcher Company. The group consists of seven members: JiU, SuA, Siyeon, Handong, Yoohyeon, Dami, and Gahyun (formerly known as Gahyeon). They made their official debut on January 13, 2017, with the single album Nightmare.
Dreamcatcher originally debuted under the name MINX with a five-member line-up of JiU, SuA, Siyeon, Yoohyeon, and Dami. In November 2016, the group announced their re-debut in 2017 under the new name Dreamcatcher, with two new members Handong and Gahyun, as well as a darker concept with a non-mainstream music style, in order to stand out from other K-pop girl groups.
Dreamcatcher has come to be known as "The Face of Rock in K-pop"; their music has been praised for its distinctive sound, combining elements of both rock and metal. The group has developed a stronger international popularity as compared to their domestic popularity, and a reputation for touring overseas often.
