    Welcome to GFRIEND!
    GFRIEND is a third-generation legendary girl group that started underground and made history until its peak.
    GFRIEND has been recognized for its passionate dance and singing skills, symbolizing sweat and perseverance.
    Although they broke up with each other due to the betrayal of their agency, VIVIZ allowed them to continue their girlfriend's legacy dramatically, and GFRIEND fandom BUDDY and NA.V (VIVIZ), WOORIN and LUVU are always waiting for their reunion.
    GFRIEND has emotions and emotions that can never be felt in other girl groups.
    So GFRIEND doesn't officially exist, but BUDDY all over the world is never daunted and invariably always supports girls.

    OMG Gfriend! One of my favorite groups ever. Their backstory was pretty amazing. They came from a small unknown company, debuted during a time where this fresh innocent schoolgirl look was everywhere, and their early mvs and outfits were clearly pretty low budget. But what set them apart was they were not only vocally strong (especially with Yuju and her "diva" voice) but they were known for their powerful synchronized dances, which wasn't very heard of in 2015 in girl groups. And you weren't wrong about the "Into the New world" comparison and pointing out SinB kinda resembled Jessica Jung. That was a thing people pointed out during their debut and they did get some hate for supposedly "copying" SNSD. For a debut from an unknown company, their debut was decent but they didn't blow up until after a viral fancam of them performing Me Gustas Tu on a slippery stage and the girls fell/slipped mulitple times but got right back up and kept performing. Then they came back with "Rough" and that song blew up and not only gave them their first win but its the song that gave them the most wins (15 music shows) and that i believe is still the 2nd most wins on a girl group song).

    As you like Into the New World so much you should watch the iconic special stage GFriend did with Twice, Red Velvet and IOI where they performed that song together and they all formed a guard of honour for Yuju to down through to deliver the key high note climax of the song. It is iconic.

    Gfriend debuted at age around of 19-16. 1995 is the oldest which Sowon (their leader) is around 19 years old and Sinb & Umji (the maknaes) is at their 16. Tho Sinb looks matured for her age but she's still a maknae 😅

    I’m so glad you’re finally reacting to GFRIEND! SNSD is my bias but they are a close second.
    Glass Bead definitely got compared to ITNW a lot. It didn’t help that people commented how SinB’s debut photos looked nearly identical to Jessica Jung.
    Their fandom name Buddy is because GFRIEND consider their fans their friends or “Buddies”. They even have a song for them called Flower Bud.
    MGT is the song that got them traction thanks to their viral performance of performing in the rain through falls and injuries (it’s a tough performance to watch)
    Rough is definitely one of their more, if not, most iconic song. It got them 14 wins and paved the way for their success despite being from a small unknown company.
    I can’t wait to see you react to the rest of their songs! (And hopefully in order)
    Also: love your hair in this vid, Austin! 💙 🤍 💜

    One thing I want to mention, it's that now GFRIEND is like a real family since their bonds is still very strong. They started as a girl group to evolve from close friends, to sisters, to a real second family to them. Even now and in the present they call, see, meet each other's very often like a real family, they love each other's and always support each other's no matter what the other do like a real family. That is something that for us Buddies is precious to see too.

    About Glass Bead, you’re not wrong when you say it reminds you of ITNW by Girls Generation, that’s exactly what everyone thought at the time they debuted and unfortunately they did get some hate for that, people said they were trying to copy SNSD and would never be like them, you know, the usual stuff when you get compared to your olders peers, but they proved themselves eventually and became loved by everyone!

  • @Kalki70581
    @Kalki70581 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Glass bead looks like ITNW because the group was created by an ex-SM Entertainment manager who also worked in the production of SNSD and other SM groups. And SNSD was often used as a model for new girlgroups in their first single. The same thing happened with I.O.I for example with their debut music video Dream Girls that also has elements from ITNW.

    Don't worry about the SNSD vibes comparison. Everyone noticed that since day 1 and numerous talk shows has mentioned it a lot of times including Sinb being a Jessica look a like. Even GFriend themselves told SNSD Sunny on a show that people are saying that their group reminds them a lot of SNSD.

    20:29 your comment about gfriend being relatable is so true ;-; up until crossroads all their music was just about friendship and the fact that their company wasn’t that big meant their outfits and mvs had cheap budgets and i think that really did make them seem relatable, they just felt like friends, exactly like their name gfriend :)

    @yukuolee3562 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +26

    First let me thank you for the reaction video to Gfriend's MVs. Your comments and reactions helped me experience the sensation again when I first discovered this wonderful group. These six girls eventually became my ultimate favorite group with their remarkable vocal display, standout choreography, charming personalities, and their inspiring path of overcoming obstacles to serve a first-tier name in this ultra-competitive Kpop industry. Given your feedback, I truly feel that had you found them sooner, you would have become a bonafide Buddy, given your musical taste and fondness for the relatability factor. After being charmed by their music, amazed by their synchronized dance, bewitched by their vocal talent, one cannot help but completely fall for their spellbinding individual personalities and striving commitment to excellence through dedication and professionalism.
    Many Buddys have already fed you with insight about Gfriend. I just want to mention that Gfriend's music genre has been characterized as orchestral pop, with arresting instrumental sounds, particularly string instruments. One often finds a strong presence of stirring electrical guitar featured in their songs.
    It is guite a ride to go through their musical journey as Gfriend went from their "Powerful Innocence" era in the beginning to their transformation in "Apple" and "Mago". While the musical genres they experimented varied over time, their talent for performance and quality of music remained consistently superb throughout as Gfriend, and now continues to evolve through each member's personal exploration.
    Very glad and grateful you decided to take a deeper dive with Gfriend. I find joy in the knowledge that Gfriend's magic reaches another lucky person.
    Until the next time, best wishes.

    9 years ago today, Gfriend released their debut EP 'Season of Glass' with the title track 'Glass Bead' ❤️

  • @peterhugo2078
    @peterhugo2078 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +30

    5 members were still at school when Glass Bead was released. Yerin attended her graduation a week later and sat between HaYoung (APink) and Joy (Red Velvet) on the front row. You can see them both singing a bit of Glass Bead to Yerin in the middle who is giggling. They remain lifelong friends to this very day and always support each other on their comebacks still. The 3 friends did a special stage together on a music show which is an iconic moment.
    Yes GFriend got a lot of hate from rival fandoms from the beginning, something which continued throughout their careers. VIVIZ even featured that unpleasant aspect of the industry in their earlier comeback this year Pull Up which told haters to shut up as they are kinda busy right now and have no time to listen to their lies.
    It started by hating SinB because she looked so much like Jessica as if that was her fault for being born like that. The comparisons you made with SNSD were commonly used to say they were just copycats because they had the same fresh innocence and nostalgic sound as them as well as them both being great vocalists and dancers. So you did well seeing that similarity on your first viewing of the video.
    It summarises the attitudes and personalities of the girls that they took the criticism in their stride and tried to turn it into a positive, saying that were flattered that anyone thought they were like such an iconic group. But deep down it must have hurt privately that their incredible hard work was being devalued by many. They actually practiced Glass Bead for 7 months before the company, which was bankrupt, thought they were ready to debut. To make it into the To10 with their debut, when both they and their company were totally unknown with zero company stans as they were the only group they had, is a remarkable achievement.
    The oldest was Sowon the tall and beautiful leader and a mom to the girls like her children (naughty!) who frequently had to be kept in check. Yerin was 18 with the cutest possible eye smile. Eunha and Yuju were both 17 at debut and graduated together, our lead and main vocalist respectively, and SinB and Umji were just 16 at debut. SinB was main dancer who became their dance trainer early on in their career as the company couldn’t afford to hire one for long, so she learned the entire routine really quickly and then taught it to the rest of the members after the choreographer had gone. Umji was walking home from school when the CEO spotted her and asked to come to an audition. She debuted just a few months later with virtually no training.

    The girls of Gfriend was like 18 when they debuted. You did recognize Eunha fast. The girl you said was gorgous at 03:53 is Sinb. You also recognized Umji fast, they hated on her more on Rough comeback because she wasnt so skinny like the other kpop idols. Umji was 16 when she debuted. The girl you said had a good voice and leader vibes was Sinb. The girl you liked because of deeper voice was leader and main rapper Sowon. The girl at 09:30 you said kinda look like Jessica Jung id Sinb, and she became really popular in the beginning becaushe she was known as Jessica look alike. Gfriend became really popular after a fancam became viral of the girle in the rain performong Mr gustas tu and even though they fell alot and hurt themselves they didnt stopped performing, just like they said in their lyrics from Glass Bead. Sowon is really tall and working as a model now for the moment. The one you said have a very full voice is Yuju, one of the best singers of kpop. She does have covers of Mariah Carey and she loves Destiny Childs, so I think she inspired herself in them with her diva voice. The one with the high notes is really the main vocal. The one you said looked so beautiful and more tan is Sowon, leader and modeling at the moment. They actually became more known and viral after Me gustas tu. Rough was the song they really became popular and win all music shows on first place, like 16 trophies in this comeback and was first place everywhere. Gfriend was known for their powerful vocals and choreos. The lyrics of rough is really meaningfull because it talks about them loving someone that they cant be together at the moment but one day they will be together again, thats why they perform this in Queendom ans everybody cried. Because the girls didnt know they would disband and they wanted to stay together, they won the lawsuit to get Gfriends name and they promise Buddy that they will reunite again. This first three comeback were known as the school trilogy, now with the Next comeback, Navillera, they start to havr other concepts and Eunha will cut her hair in her iconic hairstyle, you gonna recognize her, she became popular with this style. Would be fun to watch your reaction of their comebacks until Mago, they really did matured, even more after their company joines Hybe, than they really changed concept. Their japanese songs are one of the best, I would love of you react to them too. I think you gonna love it. The order of Mvs was right, you still didnt reacted to Time for the moonnight, but they performed a mix of Rough and Time for the moonnight in Queendom, thats why maybe you know it a little

    GFRIEND were always known for having good vocals and amazing choreo. If you have some time, I recommend watching their 2x dance challenge on Weekly Idol to see their full potential as dancers!
    Me Gustas Tu was their breakthrough song, not for a good reason. There was a fancam from an event where they were performing in the rain and they kept on slipping and falling through the whole performance. People were amazed by how professional they were to keep doing the song even though they could hurt themselves (which they shouldn't, but we know how the music industry in South Korea is). That garnered some attention and a lot of fans to the group and then Rough (their next comeback) got first place on fifteen music shows which, to this day, is the song with the most music show wins by a girl group after Apink's LUV. Rough also won best dance performance on MAMA 2016 which cemented them as one of the biggest 3rd gen girl groups ❤

  • @coolgirl312
    @coolgirl312 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +28

    For the members: The one you mentioned looking like Jessica is SinB, I don't remember if you ended up drawing that connection. The one you pointed out as really tall and really pretty is Sowon, she is the leader of the group and she was one of the tallest girl group members in Kpop. Actually Gfriend as a group is surprisingly tall, they were at one point the tallest active girl group in the industry (I believe Weeekly surpassed them). There is a picture of Gfriend standing next to Mamamoo (who is one of she shortest girl groups) and its one of my Kpop photos. Anyways, Sowon is currently promoting as an actress. The girls have mentioned that they still see her as their leader even though the group isn't active at the moment.
    The girl with the really belt-y "diva voice" is Yuju and she is the main vocalist of the group. Her vocals were INSANE and it always blew people away, especially in their early days. Though I think all that belting, hitting the high notes, and constant busy schedule Gfriend had, took a toll on her. There was a time around 2017/18 where Yuju disappeared from Gfriend activities for some time (which the company never really addressed why). Some believe she was having some confidence issues about her singing, some said she damaged her vocal cords and either had surgery or was resting it. Either way, she did eventually come back and continued performing with the group. In later half of Gfriend's career, she did seem to step back from doing all the crazy high notes and belts and Eunha started taking some of them. As of now, Yuju is promoting as a solo artist and has a few solo releases and OSTs. Even though she doesn't do that crazy high pitch belt that she did in the early Gfriend days, I think it's given her an outlet to showcase her lower register and power in her voice.
    Yerin is the last girl that's not in VIVIZ, she was the Gfriend member that appeared on the most variety shows on behalf of the group. She's also currently promoting as a solo artist.
    As of now, though the members are doing their own thing, they are still close with each other and you see them get together from time to time and constantly promoting each other's work on social media. Recently all the members did participate in VIVIZ's Maniac dance challenge. The members have mentioned several times that they do hope to reunite as a group one day.

    34:25 about how they went from this to mago, I’d really appreciate it if you could continue reacting to their discography in order because it makes so much sense, their progression is so natural and chronological (?), rather than suddenly changing concepts every comeback they slowly changed theirs one step at a time and helped their listeners grow up with them, you’d really see that if you could continue reacting in order ;-; I’ll list them for you xD After these you did today, their school trilogy, next you have Navillera, Fingertip, love whisper, summer rain, time for the moon night, sunny summer, memoria (Japanese), Sunrise, Flower (Japanese), Fever, Fallin light (Japanese), Crossroads, then apple and mago

    As soon as Rough came on and the choreo started, I knew, that's the one - 15 music show wins (according to the internet). Wow! Edit: There is a famous dance practice for this song!

    "This girl is appearing a lot, is she the main vocal?" (SinB)
    "Also, where is SinB?" 😂
    I never thought about it but I agree with the similarities between Glassbead and Into The New World you pointed out. Might very well be done in purpose but I'm definitely not mad about it 😊
    Yes, their name is "girlfriend" in Korea. A bit weird, but if there was a space in the middle it would make a lot of sense as their concept was "girl next door", so they could be your female friend.
    The 3 other members are:
    - Sowon. Yes, the same name as the fandom of SNSD. It means "wish". She is the tall one with legs for days. With 1m73 she's even 1cm taller than Sooyung. She's also the leader.
    - Yuju. THE main vocal. She's now solo and I think you'll like her songs. At least you'll love her vocals. She is also very good at poledancing, running fast, halli galli, etc.
    - Yerin. The clown who is really good at acting cute. She's also solo now. Check her out.
    G-Friend was also famous for their incredible synchronicity in their dancing. They were the reason Weekly Idol started doing 2x speed dances, which they aced every time. They even did a choreo blindfolded! And if you think about how much taller Sowon is, it's even more impressive. Definitely check out some of their dance practices!

    Glass Bead, MGT, and Rough are a trilogy, school trilogy to be exact. From attending school for the first time, to having a vacation break in one house to graduating eventually separating but with the assurance they will find each other 🤧 ah im crying.. i miss them a lot

  • @GladysQueen-ub3sf
    @GladysQueen-ub3sf 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I can hear the SNSD parallels, but I think that especially in later comebacks they had some major melancholic energy SNSD never tapped into, as far as I can tell.

    • @somebuddy.
      @somebuddy. 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yupp, what set gfriend apart from other ggs is their passionate melancholy concept with an orchestral-pop genre. It's unique and different from the usual kpop sound, like rough, tftmn, summer rain, sunrise, such masterpieces.

    As a SONE and BUDDY!!! This makes me very happy. Yes got so many issues before; Glass bead sounds like ITNW, Sinb really looks like Jessica, yerins childish cry, poor company/cheap outfits, umjis visual but hell yeah, they did great!!! My first time seeing is Me gustas tu. This song made me a buddy because of their professionalism. If you can watch their me gustas tu falling performance in rain, youll know why.
    By the way, WELCOME TO GFRIEND! Hope to see you until their last MV.
    14:03 actually all of them are tall! Yes eunha is tall compare to other idols. They are also tagged as GIANTfriend
    16:05 shes YUJU 3rd gens one of the best vocalist.
    23:35 shes SOWON tallest and the leader of Gfriend. Yes shes really gorgeous
    28:08 gfriend have a bside song called My Buddy. I dont know if fandom name come from that song.
    29:29 rough is their THAT song! It won many awards!
    31:07 yes its wasy to learn the other three (which are the 3 tallest members) ive introduced you SOWON and YUJU, now shes YERIN (with the bangs, always bright smile, also the strongest member 😂) shes a vocalist and lead dancer.
    37:30 yes please next tracks are my favorite ones, NAVILLERA and FINGERTIP!

    I remember when glass bead teaser came out a lot of people did compare it to into the new world and yes there was a lot of hate but I think for gfriend that was good. Because they were from an unknown, poor company that got people talking about them and tuning in when the mv actually dropped and by that time I remember a lot of ppl where already saying stuff like "I guess it's a bit similar but..." or "well now that I see the whole thing it's not THAT similar" hhh The hate was also how I discovered gfriend back then bc I loved snsd so of course I was curious and I immediately fell in love so I'm thankful for the hating kpop stans who made the similarity a big deal lmao

    Gfriend, a six-member girl group that debuted in January 2015. They are well known for their vocals, synchronized dancing with knife-like choreography (watching their dance practice is a must). Even though they come from a small company, with their talent and hard work they were able to enter the top 5 of the 3rd gen girl group known as TREBLMAYEO (twice, rv, bp, mamamoo, yeojachingu/gfriend)

    Many people do share the same remark as you about Glass Bead. Both song messages also points into the same direction, so with that many similar strings, it wouldn't be too far fetch to call it inspo from ITNW.
