Added example(s)

Added DiffLines:

* InnocentInnuendo: With a group as chaotic and unfiltered as Dreamcatcher it’s only natural that there would be ''so many''…
** Due to the fact that Yoohyeon sleeps a lot, when she asked Jiu and Siyeon what they want to do when they see her sleep, Jiu answered “I want to sleep.” While most of the English-speaking world saw no problem with this, the problem lay with the fact that in Korean, this is slang for “I want to sleep ''with you''.” Cue Siyeon doing a double-take, Yoohyeon looking shocked and stumbling over her words and Sua telling Jiu off for not watching her words when the camera is on. Made even funnier by Jiu trying to correct the situation and Sua saying Jiu is in her 20s and “These things can happen” and proceeding to tell ''Yoohyeon and Siyeon'' off for not controlling their expressions when the camera is on.
** During a v-live where they role-played as university students, when they were trying to come up with ideas for a booth during a fair, Yoohyeon notes that she watched the movie The Kissing Booth recently. Dami did ''not'' look amused.
* InsultOfEndearment: The members (especially Handong or Sua) tend to call Yoohyeon "Pabo" (fool or stupid in English) in an endearing way. She tends to call them the same thing.


Added DiffLines:

* KoreanHonorifics: Obviously since they are a majority Korean group who live in South Korea. The younger members call their elders “unnie” while the older ones use the younger member’s first name and the term of endearment “-ah” or “-ya”. (-ah is used when the name ends in a consonant and -ya with a vowel.)
** For example, the elders are called Jiu-unnie, Sua-unnie, Siyeon-unnie, etc. While the younger members are called Yoohyeon-ah, Dami-ya and Gahyeon-ah. Handong is an interesting case as she is the member in the middle of the Unnie and Maknae line but she doesn’t seem to mind if the members call her by her nicknames. Dami and Gahyeon tend to call her Unnie when addressing her directly but still sometimes call her by her nickname.
** The same-age friends (chingu in Korean) don’t tend to use unnie with each other, instead opting to use their nickname, or -ah and -ya. Dami tends to call Yoohyeon “Yoohyeonie” and Sua tends to call Jiu “Jiu-ya”.
** Dami is the only member of the Maknae line who insists on calling her elders Unnie. Yoohyeon and Gahyeon are often said to challenge the age hierarchy but not in an offensive way. Yoohyeon has even said that she’d love to be Handong for a day so she can get away with forgetting to call her elders Unnie.


Added DiffLines:

* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: Dami and Yoohyeon have said that their friendship is like this. They have also stated that they are like soulmates.
** To a lesser extent: Jiu and Sua. They are often (respectively) nicknamed the dad and mom of the group. It also helps that they are the two oldest members and Sua is often considered the second in command to Jiu.


Added DiffLines:

* TokenMinority: While not ''exactly'', Handong is the only non-Korean member. At one point in time, when Siyeon showed off the funny names she had her members saved under, Handong was saved as “(Token) Asian” which was a pun on her name in Korean.
** Dami has stated that people sometimes think she has a mixed-lineage, but that is not the case.


Added DiffLines:

** At times you start to feel sorry for Yoohyeon due to the amount of teasing she endures… until you see her relationship with her family. Then it becomes a case of AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther and you realise that Dreamcatcher are just like another family to her.
** Sua and Yoohyeon. To the point they call themselves Tom and Jerry.

* {{Engrish}}: Usually averted, but there's a tiny bit in "Maison" with lines like "Save my home in the polar", not to mention that the title of the song itself is in ''GratuitousFrench''.

*** "I know what you want to me" from "PIRI".
*** "Hold up! I'm a geek, the big paradox" in "BOCA".
*** "So I fallen now" in "Deja Vu".
*** "I’m nuts and switch/I’m mad and switch" and "Flying with a bat like crazy huh?/Knock knock I’m crystal honey/Tok tok let’s trick and funny" in "No Dot".
