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 Gahyeon, 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 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.
