DREAME ( 드림미 ) is a girl group that was initially supposed to debut as CUPID's PROJECT, made out of nine members. however, four girls left before the official debut due to creative differences. this prompted a rebrand from the company, where they adopted the name STUPID CUPID. the group debuted in 2017 under MIGHTY DEVIL RECORDS, featuring members – CHESKA, AIMEE, TOMIE, JEANNE and VIVA. they gained decent attention with their debut single, "SHOT IN THE HEART", but it wasn't until they released their first full album, SUMMER LOVE, that STUPID CUPID received proper fan engagement. their concept, which depicted the girls as "clumsy cupids causing chaos instead of uniting people", was well received, and the group earned the nickname VALENTINE GIRLS. and while the group's fandom supports their idols as best they can, they can't help but spark concern for their overwhelming schedule all year round.
STUPID CUPID's first-ever scandal also arose during the promotions of the SUMMER LOVE album, in which TOMIE's father was arrested for fraud, bribery and scamming. despite this being her father's fault entirely, people still blamed TOMIE for something she had no involvement in. this scandal shattered people's views about the group, and this era was when the haters got their first win. even after TOMIE returned after a hiatus, the reputation took a while.
nevertheless, STUPID CUPID became one of the most famous groups in their company. while fans defended them from criticism the best they could, they still feared for the members' health for promoting four times a year.
things took a turn in 2024 after MIGHTY DEVIL announced that their most beloved girl group would be transferred to a recently created sub-label, OCTAVIA MUSIC CO., which was designed to provide a platform for female talent to thrive, giving them the creative freedom to express themselves. soon after being under a new label, OCTAVIA changed STUPID CUPID’s name to DREAM OF ME, or DREAME, as they liked to use it more.
with this rebrand, DREAME officially moved from their cupid lore, embracing a more sophisticated concept. portraying as puppets controlled by a higher being, the girls fully know their lack of freedom and want to break from it. however, this concept didn't come without any complaints, as people noticed a bold change in the vision, comparing it to DREAME's previous situation while under MIGHTY DEVIL. neither the company nor the group ever confirmed the similarities between the two.
with their new name and concept, DREAME's music has taken a bold turn, moving away from bright, high-energy pop into darker, moodier sounds. now influenced by dark pop, synth-wave, and alt-r&b, the group's latest releases explore fresh musical ground, letting the members tap deeper emotions. through this new sound, DREAME brings their puppet-themed concept to life, tackling themes of control, rebellion, and the fight for freedom.
