Gfriend has been my ult group ever since I found them in 2015. So glad you met them here and enjoyed their voice. These girls have always been a close knit group but the company terminated their contract in May 2021, shocking the Kpop world. They have since signed up with different companies for their career. Three of the members, Umji, Eunha and SinB together formed a new group named Viviz. Yuju and Yerin went on with their solo career. Sowon, the leader, elected to pursue acting and variety show since. This reunion is such a rarity within kpop and their original company Source Music agreed to sponsor and support their activities for this special project. Their fans are so excited to see the girls get back and perform together.
As for Sowon, you need not worry. She is the envy of other girl idols where her agency was trying to get her to gain weight rather than diet ever since the start. She apparently doesn't gain weight because of genetics - such a gift. You are correct in identifying Yuju, who really is a vocal phenom for the 3rd gen group groups with a powerful, agile and explosive voice.
Based on your reaction, I think you will really enjoy your experience when exploring Gfriend's music and activities when ready.
Thank you so much for this info. It's so amazing how everyone provides such insight that I can read and learn
The fandom name is ‘Buddy’ and we’re all so happy that Gfriend is back for their 10th anniversary activities. As of tonight (Jan 19) they have just completed the 3rd and final night of their anniversary concerts in Seoul.
Please react to their most recent comeback track ‘Season of Memories’ (the MV was released earlier this week) if you can.
Thank you so much for your comment and the recommendation. I appreciate it
You have to react to the first and best Killing Voice by Mamamoo. Killing Voice was created thanks to Solar who pestered Dingo Music to allow Mamamoo to appear for a Killing Verse but her request was declined because that was only for rappers, so Dingo Music created Killing Verse and of course Mamamoo was the first group to be invited to perform.
I'll definitely look at Mamamoo killing voice as soon as I can. It's actually marked as next in line for my reactions to them
Sowon had a thin body since forever! she said it herself that she's healthy, so don't worry. 19:00
Ok thank you for stating this. She just looked so thin to me but if she's healthy that's all that matters
she has a high metabolism and she always eats whatever she wants but still doesn't gain any weight or fat. Gfriend didn't have any diet restrictions from their company (except during promotion), hence all of the members have one of the healthiest bodies among female Kpop idols.
@Gem4thEver she is so lucky to be able to do that
So this comeback is a special release for their 10th anniversary and all the promotions were to celebrate their anniversary and reunite as a group once more. Unfortunately, this comeback is still under their company that I dare say mismanaged them, but we'll take what we can get. Apart from the comeback, they're having their concert tour as a group as well to celebrate the anniversary. It is unknown yet whether they'll release more stuff as a group, but well, we're hoping they do so. Currently, three of the members are active as a trio called VIVIZ (Sinb, Eunha, Umji), two are active as soloists (Yuju, Yerin), and one is focusing on acting (Sowon), although Yerin is also having her career on acting.
Btw, from left to right, it's Yuju, Eunha, Umji, Yerin, Sinb, and Sowon.
Thank you so much for the info. It's really awesome to have them reunite again for their anniversary and also to celebrate with the fandom
These girls did not suffer a disband, but a betrayal by SouMu-Hybe who, in their desire to debut new groups, had to get rid of GFRIEND for being very popular, but contrary to Hybe's musical interests and projects. So the contract was ILLEGALLY terminated months before it actually expired.
In a demonstration of greed, SouMu-Hybe wanted to take ownership of the name away from the girls, which was rejected 18 times in court, with Sowon, Yerin, Eunha, Yuju, SinB and Umji now being legal owners of the GFRIEND brand and their own stage names.
GFRIEND the perfect group: SIX singers, dancers, comedians, variety artists, with different personalities that complement each other like no other Kpop group.
The ONLY kpop group that can dance to any of their songs blindfolded. No one else has done it successfully. In addition to having an IMMACULATE discography
For all of the above, GFRIEND is a Legend; the irreplaceable, essential, unrepeatable group.
@GalaXY999_gfrnd wow that's very interesting and sad. I'm glad they the owners now. Thank u for the info 😊
@@GingerT4U2 You are welcome.
If you check the GFRIEND Group appearances in variety programs (Weekly idol) you will realize why the group's fans are so loyal and why even other idols are fans of the group.
Listening to Gfriend's discography is an adventure full of melancholic, delicate, but powerful music.
Greetings.
GFriend group is a litteral translation their name 여자 친구 (Yeoja Chingu) from Korean is Girlfriend, the abbreviation GFriend is taken for the relevance of the search. Actually, this is the main concept of the group, all their songs are about relationships and friendship, and in reality they are very close, almost like sisters.
The group absolutely sings, all the girls have excellent voices, which also harmonize perfectly, unfortunately, at this performance, three of the six girls had a cold of varying degrees (from left to right, Yuju is the first, Umji is the third, and Sowon is the sixth), so they could not show all their vocals to the maximum. There is no rapper in the group, all their songs are melodic with a lot of classical instrumental (strings and keyboards), which is combined with an electric guitar. Their style is called Orchestral pop, many notice that their songs are very reminiscent of anime openings, which is not surprising because the same chord sequence is used in both.
Among other things, the group is absolutely dancing, their choreographies are very complex and fast, but at the same time they manage to do them elegantly and emotionally, and even synchronously. No wonder they are called the Queens of Synchronization, before them, the concept of synchronized dance did not exist in female K-pop, they just move like one person. Their dance style is positioned as Powerful Innocence at the beginning of their career and Sensitive Elegance in their latest releases. Their dance practices are simply aesthetic pleasure.
The group was the only one in a very small company, there was no money for advertising or promotion, but they achieved everything with their talent and hardwork, without hype and without money. The song Rough (2016) - still ranks second in the number of wins on music shows among female K-pop groups of all time, the song Navillera (2016) shares third place with three more songs by other groups.
Well, and most importantly, they are REAL - what they are on stage, so they are in real life, there is no pretense, no playing to the crowd, no hypocrisy. Besides, they are very modest and really care about each other.
I would recommend watching their MVs in chronological order, first comes the School Trilogy - Glass Bead, Me Gustas Tu and Rough. There is a story line running through all of their videos, but it is quite difficult to understand, it is enough to know that symbols will be gradually introduced: Glass Bead (Vessel of a pure and innocent soul), Clock (Time), Blue Butterfly (Flight of feelings coming from the heart), Paper Airplanes (Emotional messages, unfortunately, most often not reaching the addressee), etc.
The common opinion is that GFriend have no bad songs, even among b-sides, despite the fact that their total discography is more than 100 songs. Many of their videos are truly masterpieces of musical art.
There is only one problem with this group, your cheeks will hurt from constantly smiling. ;)
I love your comment, thank you so much. Thanks for the explanation and some history into the group, I appreciate it
GFriend are the 4th most successful girl group in Kpop which is amazing considering they trained in a windowless basement for a bankrupt company, where they had to cross the street to use a bathroom in an office block. The CEO had to mortgage his house for their debut song Glass Bead and told them that their next song would be their last, as he had begged and borrowed to afford them their first comeback Me Gustas Tu.
But that song went viral and became the first song from a Kpop girl group to get 100 million streams on the Gaon chart and stayed in the charts permanently for over a year. They have 71 music show wins which is only surpassed by 3 other girl groups putting them in 4th position overall. They made their company rich singlehandedly, as there were no other artists in the company. Which made their contract termination with only 4 days notice and 6 months before it expired so tragic and controversial. No one knows why to this day but many theories have been put forward.
They have a bond of friendship like no other. They have said they want their children to be best friends when they have them and once they get old, they want to even see their grandchildren playing together. They have a bond that is more like family and not mere friendship and it is for life not just for Kpop. Just another reason why they are so wholesome and such a wonderful example to others.
oh wow that is amazing to read, thank you
My favorite GFriend song wasn't featured in this performance. You need to check out their song "Sunrise". "Apple" took a very long time to grown on me since it was so different from their typical sound and style.
thank you so much for this. I didn't even have sunrise in my file, I updated now
Your reaction is very good..and I will subscribe to your channel, I hope you also react to GFriend.. Maybe you can start from , "Time for The Moon Night" and "Crossroads",This genre is quite rare in the kpop industry, Their fans are called BUDDY, And their songs are good, I will wait for your reaction to them even though it might be a long wait.🎉
Thank you so much for your comment. Yes all the songs you mentioned was sung in Killing Voice and I have added them all to my file for future reaction. Thank you for being here
Please react to Oneus "IKUK".
