It might be crazy to pay EUR 25 for just a K-Pop poster on the German second hand market. But it's like new and it came rolled (!) instead of folded. Size: 30in x 21in. I didn't hang the poster yet because I need to buy an acrylic photo frame for this gem*. If I ever visit a fan sign, I hope that Dreamcatcher will sign this poster for me.

* If you have rare posters (or posters with a high idealistic value), better don't put them behind glass. When the picture falls down for some reason and the glass shatters, the shards can damage the poster. Use acrylic glass (plexiglass).

Definitely

From a pure merch standpoint, albums. I don't own anything that can play a CD anymore, so IDK, they were probably $30 a pop + shipping.

From an overall expense standpoint, going to see Dreamcatcher live cost the most.

In 2022! It was the tour right after they had their first win for Maison. They were so excited, they could barely get out the words to celebrate with all the Insomnia.

How do you 'preserve' such concert memories? Maybe it's because of my age, but I want to completely stay in the moment instead of being busy with filming or taking photos. Having said that, it's way easier to visit a concert of a popular international Metal band even more often than seeing Dreamcatcher live once. At least here in Europe.

I was given a little photocard from one of the other Insomnia there, and I took a few photos, primarily from their talking bits or when they were getting into position for a new song, but that's it. I focused on being very present in the moment, so I have the feeling of being there to preserve in my memories, rather than a fancam or something. I just can't see that holding a camera very steady and trying to get even shots of all the members would be the same as singing and dancing along with all the other Insomnia.
