Rough was THE SONG for much of 2016. It was a huge monster hit, winning 15 show trophies - the second most trophies by any girl group in Kpop history (Apink's Luv is first)
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.
It's so relatable going back seeing new buddies experiencing the same thing that every buddy did during debut. Sinb looked like a leader but apparently she was the maknae line. Its crazy , man take me back to them. I miss them so much
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.
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).
I meann, their ceo probably have snsd in mind when creating gfriend, He ( the CEO) was SNSD’s Manager. Plus people also called out SinB (Jessica) for leaving snsd to debut in Gfriend 😂
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! 💙 🤍 💜
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 😅
Old Buddy here; Gfriend was criticized during their debut era for “trying to be like SNSD” like you mentioned. Also the SinB-Jessica Jung this was a running meme
Glad you enjoyed them, Gfriend was so big and iconic, they were up there with twice, wjsn and other big girlgroups, it’s so sad they disbanded. 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!
When the remaining three members competed in Queendom They chose the songs "time for the moon night" and "rough" and it made me cry thinking of everyone in the group. I want them to come back one more time.😢
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 :)
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.
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 ❤
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.
I love Gfriend, they have some great music. They were known for their knife like choreo, one of the most synchronized groups out there. Mu Gustas Tu was an iconic song, especially the one live performance of them performing in the rain and huge moths. Rough was their first win and they ended up having the most girl groups wins on a song at that time with it. A funny thing is Gfriend does a CF with BTS for school uniforms. Thank you for this reaction, i miss them.
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.
@coolgirl312 This is the best synopsis of where the members are that I have ever read. You nailed it. If I could upvote this a hundred times I would. Thank you.
@@johntheivagt3054lol thanks. Though honestly this is probably the most watered down one I’ve written about them since I was trying to keep it short. 😅 ❤
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.
"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!
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.
Well said and beautifully put. I agree with everything you say with such eloquence. They are very special and still my daily happiness pill, even now when they are not making music any more together.
I'm always happy and relieved to have BUDDY brothers. We need to continue our girlfriend's legacy and prove BUDDY is still alive! Because we have to prepare when our goddesses come back. Leader SOWON's birthday is coming soon! Let's celebrate in our respective seats!
@@GFD0116 GFriend are sisters and are part of our Buddy family. We share love between us all and that is what makes our fandom so special. GFriend are so special to me and Buddies are so special to.them. I hope they are reunited soon, even if for just one final farewell, so they and us can find closure and peace and enjoy their new respective careers knowing that Buddies will still be supporting them forever.
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
The comment that SinB kind of looks like Jessica reminds me of the discourse where people who didn't know Krystal but heard Jessica's sister was an idol and thought SinB was Jessica's idol sister.
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.
idek if youve ever watched it but if u havent u should totally watch svt x gf mama 2016 collab performance!!! THEE king and queen of performances and synchronization joined forces for mama LMAO
The fun thing about this GFRIEND journey is that all their mvs are connected, and you can see them growing up throughout their releases. It doesnt feel forced, they´re just going from girls to women.
i would LOVE for you to redo some of your older reactions of some of Gfriend more recent songs like crossroads or apple, to see how much your taste has changed and evolved from then!!
seeing people react to gfriend for the first time makes me so happy ;-; and yes gfriend’s name in Korean is literally girlfriend so they were against the name in the beginning but everyone grew to like it in the end
im really glad you liked their songs and im sure you’ll like the rest of their songs too! their discography is honestly excellent like even their Japanese discography(though it is unfortunately not available on international streaming platforms😢). can’t wait for your next gfriend reaction!
Don't be surprised by Gfriend's guitar instrument. it's like their trademark/characteristic. and that is what inspired one of gg's debuts called dreamcatcher.
during the release season of Glass Bead; SinB was going viral for looking like SNSD Jessica Jung's sister or twin. It became talks and had been part of questions to introduce SinB and the GFriend as a group. It may be a little awkward, but that was part of how they got known by the public. And yes, that Kick that's similar to SNSD's Into the New World also took part in online chatter being identified as part of GFriend's publicity.
The girl of the highnotes, that's my girl Yuju! If you remember Mago's MV she is the one that pole danced! Main vocal, she is a soloist now, definitely check Play, Without you and Dalala from her!
Can you react to Gfriend- Love Whisper, Summer Rain, Navillera and Mago next? Their choreography and songs are so good! LE SSERAFIM is in the same company as Gfriend used to be in, now Gfriend left, miss them so much! I support both groups!!!
Thanks for reacting to GFRIEND. This makes me miss them less as I have been missing them for 2 years straight now. 😢 I hope you will react to all their other MVs. ❤
I can tell you if you watch all their mvs you will see the transition from innocence to melancholy to darkness/freedom. It is really a great and satisfactory jorney. Thank you for reacting to them, they are iconic ❤
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!
From your video, we know that: • SinB : Leader, Main Vocalist, looks like Jessica Jung • Yuju : Lead Vocalist • Sowon : Beautiful and tan Btw this is the first time I saw your video and I like your reaction video. No unnecessary reaction, it's just nice to follow from the beginning to the end. Thank you for reacting to Gfriend, my one and only group that I love
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
I think you didn't much recognize them because they literally have little to no makeup when filming glassbead music video, but one time i watched their own reality show when they woke up with no make up, it reminds me of their visuals in glassbead
Me Gustas Tu spent one year in the Top 100 and became the first ever Kpop video for a girl group to get more than 100 million views but sadly they were all lost later when a contractual dispute with the channel holding the video with all those views decided to delete the video. It is the unofficial national anthem of South Korea played even by military bands at state occasions.
@@darius508 thank you for correcting me. I read that Me Gustas Tu had this record a while ago but clearly the information was incorrect and I am grateful that I now know the true facts instead.
Gee is the first girl group to reach 100 million views on RUclips. GFRIEND Me Justastu became the first girl group to reach 100 million streams (gaon chart), and Rough also reached 100 million streams afterwards The currently uploaded RUclips music video has been newly uploaded and the views have been reset. Originally, these were music videos with more than 100 million views or close to 100 million. Source Music moved its distributor to Kakao Entertainment and deleted the music video from Genie when it did not extend its contract. New upload from 1thek, but views have been reset. The upload date for 1thek's me gustas tu is not July 23, 2015, but November 2, 2017.😭
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
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!
I think if gfriend had an era it would be like.. School Era- Glass bead Me gustas Tu Rough Navillera Fantasy Era- Navillera (transition song) Fingertip Summer rain Love whisper Melancholy Era- Time for the moon night Sunrise Fever(transition) Story arc era- Fever Crossroads Apple Mago And they got AMAZING B-sides and japanese releases too Japanese Releases with MV: Flower Memoria(A MUST SEE) Fallin' light AMAZING B SIDES- Gone with the wind Rainbow Compas WHOLE STORY ARC, TIME FOR US ALBUMS SPECIALLY HERE WE ARE, LOVE SPELL, WHEEL OF THE YEAR, And many more
Thanks for the reaction! If you want to hear them live (they're great, btw), I recommend their performance from MMA 2016. They're seriously one of the most talented groups ever!
Their concept is like a journey thats is why, the story of their concept is really awesome thats why i stan this group, i still manifesting that they will find a company and make their comeback
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.
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.
Omg I love love love that you did a gfriend reaction ☺️ they’re my all time fav girl group and I’ve been a buddy from get go, so it’s nice to see gfriend reactions here and there 🥹 thank you so much!! I recommend giving their dance practices a try. You’ll see how synchronisation in girl groups came to be today. Gfriend was the start of it 😌
They WERE ALL MINORS AT DEBUT except 2 members Sowon the leader was 19 Yerin the one with a eye smile was 18 (my bias) Eunha and yuju were 17 Sinb and UMJI were just 16 So all but the leader were STILL in high school when they debut xD
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
it’s so funny how you said you couldn’t recognize SinB and the very next person who sang was her in glass bead 😭
Rough was THE SONG for much of 2016. It was a huge monster hit, winning 15 show trophies - the second most trophies by any girl group in Kpop history (Apink's Luv is first)
The song also popularized the 2x speed dance challenge.
@@chrisc5095 started & popularized.
Thank you for mentioning my Apink.. pink panda here
SinB is the one you said was pretty and had “leader vibes” in glass bead
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.
It's so relatable going back seeing new buddies experiencing the same thing that every buddy did during debut. Sinb looked like a leader but apparently she was the maknae line. Its crazy , man take me back to them. I miss them so much
18:27 Yuju. Yup. She's the main vocalist. Eunha is the lead vocalist. Don't worry you're right there haha
I simply LOVE watching the expressions of first time reactions to GFriend when Yuju hits her high notes 🤣🤣🤣.
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.
As a fan of Gfriend, why do I get teary eyed watching this? I just miss them so much! 🥺💜
same😭
Definitely wanna recommend the other debuts from this group!! Yuju's debut "Play" and Yerin's "Aria"
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).
Reading these (although i already know these) things makes me feel proud as a buddy! I miss them 🫶🏽
I meann, their ceo probably have snsd in mind when creating gfriend, He ( the CEO) was SNSD’s Manager.
Plus people also called out SinB (Jessica) for leaving snsd to debut in Gfriend 😂
Yes, in Korean they’re Girlfriend. They all expressed how weird they thought it was when they first heard it
Watching this it's like a time travel for me, one of the groups i stan when i got into Kpop on 2016
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! 💙 🤍 💜
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 😅
Old Buddy here; Gfriend was criticized during their debut era for “trying to be like SNSD” like you mentioned. Also the SinB-Jessica Jung this was a running meme
I'm sorry that happened. I hope they didn't get too much hate.
@@SirAustinno no it wasn’t too terrible I honestly think it helped give them attention so a win is a win lmao
Glad you enjoyed them, Gfriend was so big and iconic, they were up there with twice, wjsn and other big girlgroups, it’s so sad they disbanded.
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!
When the remaining three members competed in Queendom They chose the songs "time for the moon night" and "rough" and it made me cry thinking of everyone in the group. I want them to come back one more time.😢
9 years ago today, Gfriend released their debut EP 'Season of Glass' with the title track 'Glass Bead' ❤️
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 :)
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.
Rough, Navillera, TFTMN, Love Whisper is Masterpiece
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 ❤
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.
I love Gfriend, they have some great music. They were known for their knife like choreo, one of the most synchronized groups out there. Mu Gustas Tu was an iconic song, especially the one live performance of them performing in the rain and huge moths. Rough was their first win and they ended up having the most girl groups wins on a song at that time with it. A funny thing is Gfriend does a CF with BTS for school uniforms. Thank you for this reaction, i miss them.
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.
@coolgirl312 This is the best synopsis of where the members are that I have ever read. You nailed it. If I could upvote this a hundred times I would. Thank you.
@@johntheivagt3054lol thanks. Though honestly this is probably the most watered down one I’ve written about them since I was trying to keep it short. 😅 ❤
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.
"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!
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.
Well said and beautifully put. I agree with everything you say with such eloquence. They are very special and still my daily happiness pill, even now when they are not making music any more together.
@@peterhugo2078 The pleasure is all mine to share the joy created by Gfriend.
I'm always happy and relieved to have BUDDY brothers.
We need to continue our girlfriend's legacy and prove BUDDY is still alive!
Because we have to prepare when our goddesses come back.
Leader SOWON's birthday is coming soon! Let's celebrate in our respective seats!
@@GFD0116 GFriend are sisters and are part of our Buddy family. We share love between us all and that is what makes our fandom so special. GFriend are so special to me and Buddies are so special to.them. I hope they are reunited soon, even if for just one final farewell, so they and us can find closure and peace and enjoy their new respective careers knowing that Buddies will still be supporting them forever.
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
The comment that SinB kind of looks like Jessica reminds me of the discourse where people who didn't know Krystal but heard Jessica's sister was an idol and thought SinB was Jessica's idol sister.
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.
Wow. Thank you for reacting to Gfriend. I can't wait for you to deep dive to Gfriend for.
idek if youve ever watched it but if u havent u should totally watch svt x gf mama 2016 collab performance!!! THEE king and queen of performances and synchronization joined forces for mama LMAO
Omg I neeed more Gfriend reaction. Thank you so much for this
Thank u for reacting to them. Gfriend is my favorite group so I get very excited whenever someone discovers them 😊
The fun thing about this GFRIEND journey is that all their mvs are connected, and you can see them growing up throughout their releases. It doesnt feel forced, they´re just going from girls to women.
i would LOVE for you to redo some of your older reactions of some of Gfriend more recent songs like crossroads or apple, to see how much your taste has changed and evolved from then!!
thank you for your reaction🤍💙💜
gfriend did grew with their concepts
Me gustas tú it's my favorite of the old ones.
GFRIEND gave me SNSD beginnings too.
seeing people react to gfriend for the first time makes me so happy ;-; and yes gfriend’s name in Korean is literally girlfriend so they were against the name in the beginning but everyone grew to like it in the end
im really glad you liked their songs and im sure you’ll like the rest of their songs too! their discography is honestly excellent like even their Japanese discography(though it is unfortunately not available on international streaming platforms😢). can’t wait for your next gfriend reaction!
Don't be surprised by Gfriend's guitar instrument. it's like their trademark/characteristic. and that is what inspired one of gg's debuts called dreamcatcher.
#justiceforGfriend #wemissgfriend
#GFRIENDFOREVER
😢😢
yesss more gfriend mv omg my gurl
I AM CRYING😭😭😭 I really miss them, they are my motivation to work hard, do my best, being kind , polite, always smile always positive😭😭
I CRY NOWWW😭😭😭 THEY DESERVE THE WORLD THEIR HARDWORK MUST APPRECIATED REALLY!!!! I SAD WITH PEOPLE WHO DON’T KNOW THEM.
during the release season of Glass Bead; SinB was going viral for looking like SNSD Jessica Jung's sister or twin. It became talks and had been part of questions to introduce SinB and the GFriend as a group. It may be a little awkward, but that was part of how they got known by the public. And yes, that Kick that's similar to SNSD's Into the New World also took part in online chatter being identified as part of GFriend's publicity.
Even though it's been 3 years since gfriend was inactive, they are still at the top 4 of ggs with the most music show wins (71)
The girl of the highnotes, that's my girl Yuju! If you remember Mago's MV she is the one that pole danced! Main vocal, she is a soloist now, definitely check Play, Without you and Dalala from her!
You have a lot of things to check out on GFRIEND..Also their dance practice vid
You can get to know them by reviewing "A Guide to Gfriend 2020"
Can you react to Gfriend- Love Whisper, Summer Rain, Navillera and Mago next? Their choreography and songs are so good! LE SSERAFIM is in the same company as Gfriend used to be in, now Gfriend left, miss them so much! I support both groups!!!
yeah rough got them their first win, 15 in total ;-; viviz performed it on queendom in the first round with time for the moon night
Thanks for reacting to GFRIEND. This makes me miss them less as I have been missing them for 2 years straight now. 😢 I hope you will react to all their other MVs. ❤
I can tell you if you watch all their mvs you will see the transition from innocence to melancholy to darkness/freedom. It is really a great and satisfactory jorney. Thank you for reacting to them, they are iconic ❤
How to forget about them
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!
nope yuju is the main vocal and now a soloist and one of the best 3rd gen vocalist to this day😂
what a throwback.. monster rookie back then.. before got into dreamcatcher, i got into gfriend first since debut ^^ miss them performing together~
I have only one thing to say, welcome in the amazing world of my number one and ultimate favorite group in K-pop and enjoy the ride.
SinB and Yerin were centers that's why they have the most screen time.
Heck yeah, excited to go on this journey with you
From your video, we know that:
• SinB : Leader, Main Vocalist, looks like Jessica Jung
• Yuju : Lead Vocalist
• Sowon : Beautiful and tan
Btw this is the first time I saw your video and I like your reaction video. No unnecessary reaction, it's just nice to follow from the beginning to the end. Thank you for reacting to Gfriend, my one and only group that I love
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
I think you didn't much recognize them because they literally have little to no makeup when filming glassbead music video,
but one time i watched their own reality show when they woke up with no make up, it reminds me of their visuals in glassbead
Me Gustas Tu spent one year in the Top 100 and became the first ever Kpop video for a girl group to get more than 100 million views but sadly they were all lost later when a contractual dispute with the channel holding the video with all those views decided to delete the video. It is the unofficial national anthem of South Korea played even by military bands at state occasions.
the first MV by a girl group to reach 100M was Girls' Generation "Gee".
@@darius508 thank you for correcting me. I read that Me Gustas Tu had this record a while ago but clearly the information was incorrect and I am grateful that I now know the true facts instead.
Gee is the first girl group to reach 100 million views on RUclips.
GFRIEND Me Justastu became the first girl group to reach 100 million streams (gaon chart), and Rough also reached 100 million streams afterwards
The currently uploaded RUclips music video has been newly uploaded and the views have been reset.
Originally, these were music videos with more than 100 million views or close to 100 million.
Source Music moved its distributor to Kakao Entertainment and deleted the music video from Genie when it did not extend its contract. New upload from 1thek, but views have been reset. The upload date for 1thek's me gustas tu is not July 23, 2015, but November 2, 2017.😭
Gfriend genuinely has my top 3 favorite discographies in Kpop
THIS IS BRING ME BUDDY FEELS AGAINNN❤❤❤❤ THANKYOU SO MUCHHH❤❤❤❤
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
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!
Him pausing the frame to say how pretty Sowon is, was literally me getting into Yeochin in 2016... lmao
23:36 the one you said she's really pretty. She's Sowon, the oldest, leader & the visual of Gfriend 😊
Rough is the biggest HIT FOREVER ❤
I think if gfriend had an era it would be like..
School Era-
Glass bead
Me gustas Tu
Rough
Navillera
Fantasy Era-
Navillera (transition song)
Fingertip
Summer rain
Love whisper
Melancholy Era-
Time for the moon night
Sunrise
Fever(transition)
Story arc era-
Fever
Crossroads
Apple
Mago
And they got AMAZING B-sides and japanese releases too
Japanese Releases with MV:
Flower
Memoria(A MUST SEE)
Fallin' light
AMAZING B SIDES-
Gone with the wind
Rainbow
Compas
WHOLE STORY ARC, TIME FOR US ALBUMS
SPECIALLY HERE WE ARE, LOVE SPELL, WHEEL OF THE YEAR,
And many more
Really miss GFRIEND
Thanks for the reaction! If you want to hear them live (they're great, btw), I recommend their performance from MMA 2016. They're seriously one of the most talented groups ever!
I miss gfriend!! Thank you for reacting to them!
Their concept is like a journey thats is why, the story of their concept is really awesome thats why i stan this group, i still manifesting that they will find a company and make their comeback
Thank you so much for your reaction
9:30 yup2x. Sinb and Jessica Jung look alike never gets old. 😅
Fyi, gfriend has a different logo for each comeback, and here 9:36 19:44 29:08 you can see the logo at the end of each mv
Awww. Missed them. My best group along with SNSD.
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.
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.
APINK MARATHON NEXT
They're legends ❤❤
GFriend let's goooooo! ✨ I can't wait to see your reactions to more of their songs. They are very iconic. 🥹
Omg I love love love that you did a gfriend reaction ☺️ they’re my all time fav girl group and I’ve been a buddy from get go, so it’s nice to see gfriend reactions here and there 🥹 thank you so much!! I recommend giving their dance practices a try. You’ll see how synchronisation in girl groups came to be today. Gfriend was the start of it 😌
Rough is my favorite Kpop song of all time and it's not even close. It's just a magical track.
Thank you for your reaction! Please react to their japanese releases and dance practices
Bruhh, im so emotional😢😢 listening to all this song n mv again.
Thanks for reacting to GFRIEND ❤❤🎉
Navillera, fingertip, love whisper and summer rain.
I HOPE YOU COULD REACT MORE TO THEM AND SEE HOW GFRIEND PROGRESS FROM GLASS BEAD TO MAGO!
They WERE ALL MINORS AT DEBUT except 2 members
Sowon the leader was 19
Yerin the one with a eye smile was 18 (my bias)
Eunha and yuju were 17
Sinb and UMJI were just 16
So all but the leader were STILL in high school when they debut xD
Gfriend is the best miss them already 🤍💙💜❤️ buddy forever
Got my goosebumps, it’s like introducing my baby to you. My baby sinb is too sweet so you can’t recognise her lol🤣
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
I miss them so badd 😭😭tq fr ur reaction
Don’t know if anyone mentioned it since there was so much to cover, but Rough is based on an animated film titled The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.
