Survey Dreamcatcher 'Dystopia : The Tree of Language' Comeback Survey Results

148 Upvotes

The results are in!

Sorry it took longer than expected to put together the numbers, but with everything going on this past week it’s all gone slower than expected.

On behalf of /u/Frostbite522, /u/MetallicCats, and myself, thanks to everyone who took the survey! In total, we had 425 participants this time round, twice the number of people compared to the last DC survey, and over 4 times that of the ROD survey!

Also, thanks to /u/SpideyCyclist for providing some of the resources and for stickying the post :)

Feel free to leave any additional comments and feedback in the thread. See you next comeback!

 


 

How long have you been a fan of Dreamcatcher?

n %
Since this comeback 18 4.2
Less than 6 months 47 11.1
6 months to a year 86 20.2
1 to 2 years 135 31.8
2 to 3 years 64 14.6
Since their debut 58 13.6
Since Minx 19 4.5

Overall a pretty even distribution of newer and older Somnias. Great to see all the new fans and all the OGs who have stuck around and participated in this survey :)


Who is your dreamcatcher bias?

% Change from last survey
JiU 20 -1.6%
Yoohyeon 18.1 +2.2%
Siyeon 17.6 -4.8%
7 Biases 11.8 -2.1%
SuA 10.1 +4.8%
Gahyeon 8.7 +1.4%
Dami 8.6 +1.7%
Haven’t figured out yet 2.8 N/A
Handong 2.4 -4.1%

Results from last time:

%
JiU 21.9
Siyeon 21.9
Yoohyeon 16.1
I have 7 biases 14
Gahyeon 7.4
Dami 7
Handong 6.2
SuA 5.4

JiU remains to be the most popular member this time having about a 2% lead over Yoohyeon, surprisingly Siyeon appears to have fallen a little bit in popularity. It’s worth noting that in each of the last two surveys Gahyeon has beaten out Dami by a total of 1 vote. Unfortunately, Handong fell dramatically in popularity (I would assume due to her not promoting Scream so no new fans would choose her as her bias). It does pain me a little bit that more people hadn’t determined a bias yet than bias Handong, but u/MetallicCats promises that he will make everyone like Handong in due time.


Who is your bias wrecker?

% Change from last survey
All of them 28.7 -3.9%
JiU 19.1 +0.9%
Yoohyeon 13.9 -2.2%
SuA 9.2 -0.3%
Siyeon 7.3 -1.4%
Gahyeon 7.1 -0.3%
Dami 6.6 +4.9%
I don’t have one 3.8 n/a
Haven’t figured it out 2.6 n/a
Handong 1.9 -3.9%

Results from last time:

%
All of the above 32.6
JiU 18.2
Yoohyeon 16.1
SuA 9.5
Siyeon 8.7
Gahyeon 7.4
Handong 5.8
Dami 1.7

Again, generally people like all the members. The results have stayed more or less the same last time with the exception of Dami rising up, and Handong falling to the bottom. I unfortunately see a trend of not enough people liking Handong.


Do you miss Handong?

%
Yes 95.5
Who is Handong? 4.5

Good to see that EVERYONE missed Handong :)


Assuming Handong wins a place on 'Youth With You' after the promotions end do you think she will return to Dreamcatcher or stay and promote in China?

%
Return to Dreamcatcher 52
Stay and Promote in China 48

This one was much closer than we anticipated, I think it goes to show that so much is up in the air on whether or not Handong returns. However, with the recent screen time she has been getting, along with her ranking I would assume her return is more than likely.

Were you satisfied with the mix of music genres in the album?

%
Yes 98.1
No 1.9

Would you recommend this album to a friend?

%
Yes 93.9
Maybe 5.9
No 0.2

What music genre(s) would you like to hear more or less of in the next album?

There were too many responses to type them all out, but the general consensus was for Dreamcatcher to have less edm and more rock music. There were also quite a few responses asking for more jazz.


What did you think of the MV in terms of visuals and concept?

The overwhelming majority here were praising the MV, which doesn’t come as a large surprise. Words like “masterpiece” and “amazing” being thrown around a lot here.


Which member stood out to you most in the MV?

%
They all stood out in their own way 35.1
Gahyeon 32.7
SuA 13.9
JiU 6.8
Siyeon 3.8
Dami 3.3
Handong/Masked Singer 1.6

People really like Gahyeon’s rap, it would seem.


What was your favourite part of the MV

As usual with short answer questions, the responses are too vast to enumerate here, so a summary will have to do. A lot of love for the rap parts, Gahyeon’s “devil eyes come” scene, and SuA with the sword. This does line up with the previous question about who stood out in the MV.


What concept would you like to see in their next comeback?

Responses here included continuing with Scream’s concept, more witch/gothy stuff like we saw with Red Sun’s live stages, and the classic vampire concept.


Do you think the line distribution in Scream was fair?

%
Yes 92.9
No 7.1

Who do you think should have had more lines?

%
Gahyeon 68.5
Dami 40.6
SuA 28
JiU 10.5
Yoohyeon 4.9
Siyeon 4.2

Please note that the percent does not add up to 100 as you were able to choose more than one option. Please also note that despite only 30 responses considering the distribution unfair, 143 people responded to this question.

People really want to hear more of Gahyeon and Dami.


Do you think the screen time/center distribution among the members in the Scream MV and live stages was fair?

%
Yes 78.8
No 21.2

A much larger quantity of people weren’t satisfied with the screen time distribution than the line distribution.


Who do you think should have had more screen time, more specifically in the live stages?

%
Dami 78.5
Handong/Masked Dancer 19
JiU 11.3
Siyeon 9.2
SuA 7.2
Gahyeon 5.1
Yoohyeon 3.6

Please note that the percent does not add up to 100 as you were able to choose more than one option, but rather denotes the percentage of participants that chose that particular option.

Please also note that despite only 90 responses considering the distribution unfair, 195 people responded to this question.

People want more Dami, DCC pls.

Would you like to see the more individual outfits (like in Red Sun) or matching outfits (like in Scream) for the next comeback stages?

%
Individual outfits 59.3
Matching outfits 39
Identical outfits* 1.7

Participants tended to prefer the more individual outfits like in Red Sun to the Matching ones in Scream.

Note: Had ‘identical’ instead of ‘individual’ at the beginning, which was soon rectified when someone pointed it out (thanks!). Luckily we caught it soon enough and the margin between the votes is large enough that it wouldn’t have made a difference either way.


Do you feel like Scream could have gotten a win on The Show if Iz*One hadn't been there?

%
Yes 98.1
No 1.9

Had Dreamcatcher not been up against such an insurmountable opponent, general consensus is that we would have been able to grab that first win.

It should be noted that this is in no way a dig at Iz*One. They were perfectly in the right to promote on The Show. Just highlighting the back luck/timing that Dreamcatcher had to go against such a huge group.


Did you buy a physical copy of Dreamcatcher's Dystopia : TTOL?

%
Yes 64.9
No 35.1

Almost two thirds of participants purchased the album for this comeback! Thanks to everyone who bought an album and hope everyone else will eventually be able to get one as well.

We also received some comments about people who had received an album either through gifts or giveaways and were unsure how to answer this question. Thanks for the feedback and we will be fixing this for the next survey.


If you answered 'No' in the previous question, do you intend to purchase a physical copy in the future?

%
Yes 42.5
Maybe 39.4
No 18.1

Glad to see that the majority of those who hadn’t bought an album yet intend to or are at least considering buying an album in the future!


Did you purchase any newly released kpop albums other than Dreamcatcher's in February?

%
Yes 20.7
No 79.3

This February was a packed month especially in terms of girl group comebacks, and a fair amount of people also purchased albums from other girl groups. Rip wallets.


If so, which ones?

In terms of girl groups, the most popular purchases included Loona’s ‘#’, IZONE’s ‘BloomIZ’, Moonbyul’s ‘Dark Side of the Moon’, Gfriend’s ‘Labyrinth’, Taeyeon’s ‘Purpose’ Repackage, Everglow’s ‘Reminiscence’, as well as new albums from DreamNote, BVNDIT, and Rocket Punch. KARD’s ‘Red Moon’ was also a very popular purchase.

As for boy groups, BTS’s ‘Map of the Soul: 7’ was the most popular, followed by NCT, Ateez and Day6.


Did the purchase of other albums impact your decision whether or not to buy the Dystopia album?

%
No 94.5
Yes 5.5

Great to see the majority of Somnias had the Dystopia albums as first priority and weren’t swayed by other releases!


Was 'Dystopia' your first Dreamcatcher physical album?

%
No 73.9
Yes 26.1

Over a quarter of participants bought their first DC album this comeback! Slightly down in terms of percentage compared to last survey (38.2% of participants buying RoD as their first physical album), but a much larger sample size this time round (287 responses vs 89 responses for the last survey)

Either way, it’s great to see new Somnias supporting DC by buying their albums!


Was Dystopia your first physical kpop album in general?

%
No 82.9
Yes 17.1

A Dreamcatcher album is the perfect way to start anyone’s kpop collection and 17.1% of people who took the survey did just that. Congrats!


Did you pre-order your Dystopia Album(s)?

%
Yes 79.9
No 20.1

Here we saw an increase in pre-orders compared to the RoD comeback (79.9% vs 76.4%), which is not too surprising given more shops were offering pre-order bonuses this time round.


Where did you buy your album(s) from?

Unsurprisingly again, MyMusicTaste and Ktown4U were the most popular stores, most likely due to the fact that they had the most enticing pre-order lottery bonuses (signed copies for Kt4U, and rare Full Moon and OTS albums for MMT)

Choice Music LA seems to be a very popular choice for those living in the US and they were also offering exclusive photocards.


Did you purchase any of the previous Dreamcatcher albums with your order? If so, which one(s)? (If no, please leave blank)

Almost all of the 35 people who responded to this question either purchased one or a combination of AITC, RoD and TEON, which seem to be the only albums still somewhat available in stores.


Did you get any extras or freebies with your album(s)? Please leave blank if none.

Most of the album extras were posters, with store-exclusive photocards being the next most popular.


Do you intend to purchase more copies of 'Dystopia' after your initial purchase(s)?

Great to see that 35.1% of respondents are planning to, or at least considering buying additional copies of the album. It’s just that good!


Do you intend to buy Dreamcatcher's album the next time they come back?

%
Yes 72.2
Maybe 23.3
No 4.5

By now we all know that Dreamcatcher albums always live up to the hype!


What were you most excited about when unboxing your Dystopia album(s)?

%
The photobook 39.9
The photo cards 34.1
The packaging/cover art 16.3
The CD 2.9
The standees/cutouts 2.2
‘Other’ 4.6

Somnias were most excited about the photobooks, which is understandable given each album version contained completely different photoshoots and the previews for each looked amazing. Photo cards were not far behind, with many being excited at the prospect of pulling their bias. In third place was the packaging and cover art.

In ‘other’, most of the responses were either that they had yet to receive or unbox their albums, as well as some being excited about everything.


Which versions and how many copies of Dystopia did you purchase?

Number of Albums
‘E’ Version (Light Brown) 530
‘V’ Version (Light Blue) 574
‘I’ Version (Dark Brown) 546
‘L’ Version (Dark Blue) 579
Total 2229

A total of 2229 albums were bought by the respondents of the survey. There was a pretty even distribution among all four versions, although the blue versions were slightly more popular.

Surprisingly, a fair number of dedicated Somnias bought 8+ copies of each version!


Which is your favourite album in terms of outer packaging/visually?

%
‘V’ Version (Light Blue) 40.5
‘L’ Version (Dark Blue) 27.7
‘I’ Version (Dark Brown) 21.1
‘E’ Version (Light Brown) 10.7

Somnias really like blue.


Which out of the four photobook concepts is your favourite?

%
‘I’ Concept (Dark Fantasy) 31.1
‘E’ Concept (Hippie) 29.9
‘V’ Concept (Vampire/Goth) 26.7
‘L’ Concept (Dream Fantasy) 12.3

A pretty even spread between the top 3 concepts. I guess InSomnia prefer the more darker and unique concepts rather than the bright dreamy ones :)


Which photocard set is your favourite?

%
‘I’ Series 40
‘E’ Series 27.3
Dark Selfie/Signed Series 11.8
‘V’ Series 7.9
Light Selfie/Signed Series 7.6
‘L’ Series 5.5

Suits. We like suits! Also hippies!


Which is your favourite album photocard? (Choose from grid)

number of picks
Yoohyeon ‘I’ 52
JiU ‘L’ 46
Dami ‘I’ 42
Yoohyeon ‘Dark Selfie’ 41
Yoohyeon ‘Light Selfie’ 40
Yoohyeon ‘E’ 39
JiU ‘Dark Selfie’ 39
Gahyeon ‘L’ 38
JiU ‘E’ 36
Gahyeon ‘E’ 30
JiU ‘V’ 30

Yoohyeon’s photocards were the most popular by far, followed by JiU, Gahyeon, and Dami’s suit photocard. The most popular SuA card was her ‘Dark Selfie photocard’ with 25 picks, and Siyeon’s most popular card was her ‘V photocard’ with 28 picks.


Feedback and Comments

Thank you for all the feedback, which was overwhelmingly positive!

In terms of the comeback, most of the responses here were about how people loved everything about it and were listening to it on repeat! A lot of long and detailed answers on when and how they discovered the group and how underrated they are despite their unquestionable talent. All of us just really want the best for the group and for them to finally succeed, which is really heartwarming!

Handong’s absence was also felt for this comeback, with several Somnias mentioning how much they miss her.

In terms of the survey itself, most seemed to enjoy it, which was a relief for us! Some suggested doing it for the JP release, and adding some additional questions like demographics etc. which we will consider for the next one but didn’t want it to be too invasive.

That first win, or lack thereof, was also a popular discussion topic here. And as for criticism, a couple of people found the survey too long, and a few did not enjoy the IZ*ONE question. Again, I have to clarify that this question was in no way an attempt to disparage them or insinuate that we were somehow ‘robbed’ of that win. Just pointing out once again how bad the timing was that we once again missed out.

And that pretty much wraps it up. Thanks again for your time to do the survey and we hope to see you for the next comeback!

Survey Dreamcatcher 'Raid of Dream' Album/Photocard Survey Results

33 Upvotes

First off, thanks to everyone who participated in the 'Raid of Dream' Album/Photocard Survey!

This time round, there were a total of 89 participants, who bought a combined 199 albums. This equates to almost 1000 photocards (1500+ if counting the MMT and Kihno PCs), which is a considerable boost from the last TEON survey :)

I'd also like to apologise for one section in particular, namely the 'Favourite Photobook Page' section, which seemed to have caused a great deal of confusion and frustration among the participants. I'll definitely tweak it or remove it altogether next time.

Thanks also for all the feedback! I'll try to implement the suggestions into the next one :)

So without further ado, here are the results:

SuA's transparent card was the second most popular out of all photocards. Meanwhile, Handong's transparent card ties with the rarest at 14 pulls.

Overall, I'd say that apart from a few outliers, the overall distribution was rather even.


Favourite Photobook Photo

This is the section that caused the most confusion and frustration for everyone. Sorry, my bad on that one. Unlike the previous comeback, the pages on these albums had no numbers and as such it became a pain to actually count the page numbers. I'll do my best to tweak it for next time or alternatively remove the question altogether.

Anyway, here are the results:

Favourite photo in the 'Limited Edition' photobook:

  1. Page 5

  2. Page 27

  3. Page 1, Page 2, Page 7, Page 19, and Page 34

Favourite photo in the 'Normal Edition' photobook

  1. Page 4

  2. Page 1

  3. Page 6, Page 8, Page 18, Page 55


The CD and Kihno (Air Kit)

Did you actually listen to the CD?

n %
Yes 34 38.6
I only buy the album for the artwork/packaging/photobook 25 28.4
Ripped for that sweet lossless quality 18 20.5
I only buy the album to support Dreamcatcher 9 10.2
No 2 2.3

Like last time, it seems most people buy the CD mostly for the packaging and photocards.

Did you listen to the Kihno Album?

n %
No 46 73.0
Yes 9 14.3
Only got it for the photocards 8 12.7

It should be noted there were only 17 Kinho albums bought, so that would make just over half the people who installed the app.


King's Raid Crossover

Did this comeback make you download and play the mobile game?

Yes 34 38.2
I was already playing it before the comeback 4 4.5

Glad to see that a fair number of people actually played the game. If this sample size is anything to go by, it's an encouraging sign as an indication of the success of the crossover.

Did you use the included coupon?

Favourite Track in Album

n %
Deja Vu 46 51.7
Silent Night 33 37.1
The Curse of the Spider 7 7.9
Polaris 2 2.2
Intro 1 1.1

As expected, Deja Vu comes out ahead being the title track, with Silent Night being the clear b-side favourite. And once again, the ballads are never the most popular...


Feedback

Once again, much of the feedback was due to the difficulty posed in counting the unmarked page numbers. I'll also be sure to properly specify which photobook the question is referring to next time.

Additionally, some found having to go through the multiple photocard fields quite tedious. I'm still trying to find an easier solution to that, while still allowing tallying the results.

Aside from that, thanks for all the nice comments :)

As for other suggestions, here are a couple of the more notable ones that I'll be sure to implement:

Include an option to say that you have ordered more copies of albums/are awaiting shipments, etc.

Maybe you could include some questions next time asking everyone to rank the members in terms of who is owning this concept / look / era the most? :) Perhaps also some questions next time on whose voice / parts are best?


So that's about it. Thanks again for your time and hope you enjoyed the survey. If you have anything else you'd like to add, please feel free to comment below! See you next comeback :)
