Regarding 'disbandment'. Somu/Hybe terminated their contract short notice, and never said why. The girls are adamant they never disbanded. Yerin and Yuju went solo artists since, and Eunha, SinB, Umji got a contract with BPM to make viviz after that. Sowon went into acting.
I just cried watching this. I have missed them so much😭 there vocals are always so good. I recommend performance videos as their choreos are so interesting and fun!
I've been binge watching your Rotten Mango reaction for the whole week, and now you reacting to my ult group. I think you are my only chances where GFRIEND/ VIVIZ can merge with true crime. Thank you for reacting. hope more GFRIED contents from you. You can take a look to their dance practices. The normal one, or the not-so-normal one (2x speed, blindfolded, etc). They are just so...magical & mesmerizing. Love your videos, man. i subscribed to your Patreon already 😉
Naurrr I'm also watching rotten mango and my kamioshi group is Gfriend. It's funny u want true crime merge with them 😂😂😂 the only crime here is their sudden contract termination and the true rotten one is Hybe and SoMu.
What I really like is that you can clearly hear the improvement in their vocals, I'm a stickler for keeping things OG (call me petty, but I dislike when covers reinterpret the vocals and instrumentals... yes I know that's the point but I like to appreciate the original lol) and they really stuck to their guns while showcasing their new development. Umji doesn't sing like she used to, but retains the maknae sweetness falsetto(?) she has when she sings (her voice is obviously much more mature since Viviz). In Season of Memories you can hear more of a vibrato like in Yerin's parts, since she's a soloist she had to layer her skills a little more to be up to par to Yuju. The best thing about Gfriend overall that minus Yuju, they're not the most technically skilled like she is (as she carried them in the early days, now Eunha and Umji are more capable of carrying the high notes i.e. Viviz's cover of Time for the Moon Night when UMJI covered the high note!!) but they're all very stable. Some Korean comments were shocked that their Golden Disc performance wasn't lip synced because they heard Eunha's voice crack during a note. I do remember someone saying that Yuju made them seem significantly better as vocalists, but you can tell they have really gone to develop it these past years because during their trainee period, Yuju was the one teaching them how to sing. Their harmonization is honestly so great. Also, Yuju is sick here - you really need to watch other clips because I don't think it does her justice T-T Also Viviz... I wonder if they can add them as a "spinoff" on Wikipedia to Gfriend, but since Gfriend "disbanded", I guess it doesn't really count since it's not an official subunit/different entity. They made Viviz right after Gfriend "disbanded". I think I went to look up to see if you've watched other Gfriend MV's aside from Mago(?) (14:26 LOL), you should DEFINITELY do a run of their old songs like them!! They're performing their old songs right now. Also the energy their music was known for was called "powerful innocence" since they had the girlfriend concept. Since they got acquired by Hybe their music's been on the calmer side since the change of producers, but they are very known for their use of orchestral instruments. There are a lot of theories of their disbandment, but the speculation I believed is that they weren't supposed to disband that early. Most groups from 3rd gen usually had 7 years, but some people found that they still had it disrupted still in its midst of their 6th year. They called it a "conclusion of contract" and the higher ups definitely told them at the last minute they were going to disband, because all the members were on VLive talking about activities in the future that they were gonna do.
They have scheduled for the next month before the contract termination,, and umji was in hybe building and leak some photos to next comeback before the news cameout and not official statment from source music said that.. and source music deleted all future schedule and bring the official statment,, its hybe intervened they want to renew the contract after comeback but its all MHJ & HYBE planned for their disbanded status.. even that so many news said gfriend was disbanded,, and so many time gfriend member said its not disbanded all this is hybe media play
thoroughly enjoyed this video thank you! Gfriend are such an amazing group, they’ve been my ults for 8+ years now! Never too late to check them out! As others have said the girls stated that their company terminated their contracts.. not sure why exactly but very unfair and it came out of nowhere Gfriend have a lot of music videos and songs in their discography they’re all amazing and definitely worth checking out! They’re releasing an mv tomorrow (Jan 13th) as well as releasing a bside along with it!
i never was a gfriend fan because right when i got into their music they announced their disbandment but this comeback is so good and the girls said on youngji's show that they never disbanded and that their contracts under hybe/source music were just over. i really want to stan them and i hope they continue to release music as gfriend in the future
Dont missleading "their contract was terminated" they has scheduled before termination in 22may2021... They comeback schedule was in June look the news 🗞️🗞️ 📰
If you're looking to get into their personalities better I recommend LeaderSowon's channel. She has a lot of good compilations my faves are gfriend are variety queens gfriend moments I can't explain gfriend moments that should have gone viral gfriend acting like their zodiac signs pt1&2 (might help you learn their names too) gfriend funny moments to celebrate they are free from source music And if you wanna get to know birthday twin more: sowon and sinb' exuding chaotic sibling energy
Lmao 😂😂😂 I like ur description to their song. They're magical girls. A mahou shoujo anime type. They will give you nostalgia with their song. I love Gfriend so much. Their music will bring u in a different world hahaha 💙🤍💜
When you watch a guide I can highly recommend A Guide to GFriend 2020 and a Subpar Guide to GFriend. They are both really good but many others are not at all helpful,, being mainly fun videos for existing fans to enjoy satire and jokes if you know the group well already.
Bang Si Hyuk, the head of HYBE, wanted to form HYBE's "first girl group", despite already having GFRIEND after HYBE acquired Source Music. But since he wanted to personally create HYBE's "first girl group", he disbanded GFRIEND and was personally involved in helping create LE SERRAFIM. He also delayed the debut of NewJeans to ensure that his LE SERRAFIM would debut first.
Ye Gfriend is of them 6 and like viviz is a sub unit/group and yuju and yerin also has some solo songs. They were under source music before le sserafim was there and it was also when Heejin (newjeans ceo) were there. you should read about it. And they have not disbanded it was contract termination. (Old source music did it without the girls knowing it think?)
The girls were told 4 weeks before the termination but couldn’t tell the fans about it so had to pretend everything was alright. Sowon watched old videos of their performances with Eunha I think and just cried that it was about to end. They released that video clip quite some time after they left the company. Fans only found out at 9am on the 18th May 2021 when someone leaked it to the media so Source Music were forced to make a hurried public announcement about it at 10am. The termination took effect on the 22nd May 2021 so fans were in total shock as was the entire Kpop community.
You want first good impression? Go watch the blindfold mago dance practice!!!
YES! Absolutely

Gfriend has such underrated vocals
Yuju is known as one of the best singers in kpop but I agree that their group vocals are underrated. they sound great together
Favorite Gfriend/Viviz/Yuju songs:
- Apple
- MAGO
- Glass Bead
- Rough
- Bop Bop!
- Shhh!
- Maniac
- Untie
- Play (Yuju)
Yuju Without U, Killa, DALALA great too. Yerin Believer, Bambambam
Ive never really been a fan of Gfriend but now that I heard it they’re vocals are sooooo good
I'd like to see you do a Gfriend deep dive videos checking their music videos and dance practice!
Gustas turururu 😂 so adorable 🤩

Not old source music. It was under hybe. Same upper management as now.
The girls were told 4 weeks before the termination but couldn’t tell the fans about it so had to pretend everything was alright. Sowon watched old videos of their performances with Eunha I think and just cried that it was about to end. They released that video clip quite some time after they left the company.

They have comeback schedule for june 2021 and the Terminated contract was in may 2021.. so its agency sabotage them 😢
Yes, Labyrinth is their best album. It’s one of my very favorite albums of all time, all genres.
Nice!
Classic every anime opening
Ajaja Im waiting for your reaction to BSS
