Their music is one of the unique sound in KPOP. Like there's no one who can replace how GFRIEND introduced thos type of powerful, innocent, melancholic, and orchestral sounding music. They are also known for their choreographies hope you get to check out their music soon. They look so comfortable like GFRIEND did not end because they really did not end after the end of their contract 4 years ago, they just like went on hiatus and they are actively supporting each other and hanging out and updates the fans about it. I'm just really happy they are back huhu
The members look so comfortable and happy to be together, as if they were never apart. If there is ever a group that didn't deserve to be disbanded, it is them. Sinb looks more relaxed and chill than ever, but it is Yerin (the pink hair in the middle) that positively beams with happiness to be back with her sisters.
Regarding what you said about their music sounding classy, elegant, and grand, you're correct because that's their trademark sound. 😊 GFRIEND is known for nostalgia music and their genre is mostly POP-ORCHESTRA that's why you can hear a lot of string instruments that makes their sound very elegant. 😊 Their music videos are also connected to each other, they have their own storyline and it's a magical story that actually go well with their music style, almost fantasy-like. 😊
This is what missing on kpop nowadays, this kind of simple music but having a kickoff to hit concepts. GFRIEND's discography is rare and unique. Their sounds were ethereal and legendary. ❤ And a fun fact, The reason why VIVIZ has no LEADER, its bcoz the still consider Sowon as their leader. It is somewhat VIVIZ were just a sub-unit of GFRIEND. ❤
Viviz IS a sub-unit of Gfriend in all but name, the members all identify as Gfriend members and they even cover some Gfriend songs. They will never be an official sub-unit they sure as heck function like one.
Intro Translation First introduce - Hello we are GFRIEND!!! Sowon : We Gfriend will be in 10th anniversary!! We became to meet you in 4 years through Killing Voice!! You know we're a team which has so many masterpiece song, so we cannot help showing you our great songs. We prepared many masterpieces, so we hope you enjoy them! Then, we'll start from the beginning of GFRIEND! ( Yerin : give me a song! ) Navillera introduce - Umji : This is our first album's song after "3 school series"! Many people known this song as "Navillera", but this song's real name is "you and me"(Korean title) Crossroads introduce: Eunha: This song is good for listening in winter! You have not to lose your way on crossroads!! Then, where is umji?? Umji!!! UMJI saying "I"m now in~~" (song lyric) Apple introduce - Yerin : eating apple in the morning is good! So we prepared this song! Mago introduce - SinB : This is last song of GFRIEND! Ago 4 years! Last song , MAGO!(rhyming in koeran) Fingertip introduce - YUJU : this song is the thing that HANBANDO(land of KOREA+NORTH KOREA) loves! ---this means the plagiarism release of Northkorea using fingertip (funny happening) Northkorea plagiarized FINGERTIP SUMMER RAIN introduce - Umji : Let us introduce some hidden masterpieces (started from three of cups), SUMMER RAIN and RAINBOW! RAINBOW introduce - Yerin : The intro of this song is very long so we were going to exclude it (but didn't). This guitar solo of intro is so good, so my voice is useless.

Alike when we debuted with ringing school bell(means Glass bead intro), we did our best to prepared. So please look forward to GFRIEND! Everyone, you've been waiting for a long time, right? Last comment: See you jn January!
22:00 While 3rd gen girl groups were going full-on girl crush, GFRIEND stuck to their own genre of grand music with an innocent yet powerful concept. It's like, when you hear their songs, you instantly recognize, "Ah, this is so GFRIEND." People often describe their music as sounding like anime openings, and honestly, I love that! But GFRIEND's music is definitely an acquired taste. You either love it or hate it. If you're new to them, I recommend checking out "Summer Rain" (watch their comeback stage for the full experience), "Mago," and "Fever." As for my personal favorites, I'd go with "Rough," "Love Whisper," "Sunrise," and "Apple." I’m sorry for my english😭
The members you don't know Far left is Yuju - main vocalist In the middle (between Umji and SinB) is Yerin - lead dancer, vocalist, center And far right is Sowon - leader, vocalist, visual (and one of the tallest female idols
Gfriend song I requested to react before their 10th anniversary comeback 1) Rough MV 2) Labyrinth 1theK 3) Fingertips MV 4) Rainbow (only have fancam performance also lyrics clips but the sound is still good) 5) Here We Are and so on, Gfriend has so many good songs not just Korean release but also their Japanese release. All are so good including their bside. If you like real instrumental in the song instead of edm or trending kind of genre, Gfriend is the right group. Their genre given by Korean is known as Orchestra pop, Melancholic, Powerful innocent etc. Harmonization in their song is top notch along with RV and Mamamoo. Their choreography and live performance are also all of it so great, never disappointed. I can praise Gfriend with a long paragraph because their talent as a group not just a member needs to be known by everyone
You can see how happy the members are for their reunion and we Buddies are so delighted to see them together. You have enjoyed Viviz's music, i.e. 1/2 of Gfriend. Glad you got to sample the full ensemble of Gfriend today. Gfriend's music is known for its sense of majestic, grand air as one would find extensive use of orchestra elements, particularly the strings. Beyond their music, all the girls are truly charming with distinct personality. The combination is just divine.
Also GFriend are known for their in sync dance practices. They even have some blindfolded dance practices which are insane to watch. The Mago one in particular.
Its difficult to recomend specific musics, because what I love about Gfriend is that they tell a story through their musics/mvs that get more mature with time. Their lyrics are so beautifull and their concept is just incredible. I think you should react to their comebacks in a chronological order, it will anhance the experience. Im a reveluv, but GFRIEND was always up there with my heart.... crossroad lyrics makes me want to cry everytime. I missed Love whisper and sunrise in the killing voice, but its hard for them to choose what to put in as well.
I remember the time when Viviz and the other girls doing Solo debuted and I was praying that they can be big so newer fans can rediscover Gfriend when we get a reunion. Now, you are here 🤣 and I saw some other reactors who are at the same situation as you. The style of Gfriend is totally different from Viviz, but I hope you would enjoy watching the MVs. I recommend Summer Rain MV because the rain sound in the MV mixed with the melancholy of the song was CHEF's KISS!
they are some kpop fans who did not know that Viviz are part of Gfriend, and that was funny actually because the haters said before that Viviz will flop
Have Been their fan since 2016. My time seems to stuck in 2020 that's it's felt just 4 years ago i knew them. But it was actually 8 years ago.. They are my teenager phase also young adult phase. I am so excited to see them together again. There so much emotion i felt this week since they announce they gonna have killing voice before their comeback. The members seems more excited, even more than us, while preparing this. They have been so active in bubble (paid chat apps) sharing what they thoughts, and their condition. Yuju and sowon share they are not feeling well during their recording for this killing voice, i think bcs it's winter, cold and sore throats are very common. I hope they recover well and doesn't get sick again. Anyways thanks for your time to reacting to this. Have a great week.
Am I glad to see them again? You have no idea 🥹 Probably my 2nd fav girlgroup, after Dreamcatcher. They were really big and then really suddenly (had to) disband. It still makes my heart ache. To give you an example, imagine Twice or Stray Kids stopping tomorrow, out of the blue. Never more will there be any new songs or content from them ever again. A LOT of people were really hurt/sad by their sudden disbandment ☝️. And especially because it was against their will, it's so good to see them together again. Even you noticed how happy they are 😊. You especially noticed Yerin, which kinda makes sense, because she went solo, so to perform with others again must feel extra good for her. From left to right: - Yuju. Main vocal. One of my fav voices in kpop. And I think she even was a little under the weather here. She is a soloist now. Friends with Dami. - Eunha. Listed as Lead Vocal, but I would classify her as 2nd Main Vocal. - Umji. Vocalist and maknae. - Yerin. Listed as vocalist but I would classify her as Lead Vocalist. She's a bit of a clown/prankster and was so happy here. She's a soloist now. - SinB. Listed as Vocalist but I would classify her as Lead Vocalist. Can't forget about her dancing skills either. - Sowon. Vocalist and Leader. She's now an actress, so I'm glad to hear that she still has them vocals 😊. Truly the rock / mom in this team. You can just see everybody else be (more) at ease when she's around. Also has legs of like 2 meters 😅 Like you mentioned, some songs are a bit fairytale-esque. Those are usually in their EARLY years, with the general theme being: innocent, schoolgirl-next-door, fairytale, anime-opening (yes, they've actually often been called the light side to Dreamcatcher's dark side 😊). In their LATER years, their sound became more mature, eighties / retro, but with a modern spin. In my opinion, their change in sound started with the song Crossroads, which is very fitting and imo very cool 😎 My recommendations are (2 early, 2 later): - Rough - Time for the Moon Night - Apple - Mago Would be great if you could check out some of their choreo too, because they were (also) known for their dancing (super fun choreo + super in sync). Killing Voice has been killing it lately: - bringing Lovelyz back even though they have disbanded - bringing out Oh My Girl - and now G-Friend ❤ All celebrating their 10th year anniversary (I think).
i recommend to know them as Group for being beagles through guides then you will start to stan them more also they are known for their 2x speed choreo dances, knife-like syncronized dances also they became legendary they do choreos being blind-folded you will be amazed what Gfriend do in k-pop industry
3:40 This is YUJU! She's now a solo artist, as well as the pink-haired girl (YERIN), you should check out their solos too if you have time (and if you want)!
Yeah their concept & storyline match fairytale since debut. But you know what saddest? When Mago was released, one of lyrics saying "No more Fairytale" like referring their part away story 🥹 i love seeing them back again
Yuju, Eunha, Umji, Yerin, SinB, Sowon GFriend is kind of like the opposite side of the coin from dreamcatcher. If Dreamcatcher is the hype anime intro GFriend is the relaxing anime outro. For a Spotlight video I'd recommend: Me Gustas Tu - their first comeback that blew up in popularity and to see what early GFriend was like Rough - for the lyric breakdown Time for the Moon Night - for the MV theory's Sunrise - because it's my favorite song :) Mago - their disbandment song GFriend are said to be attending the Golden Disk Awards this year... Something to keep in mind for the Patreon award show reactions. I was aware of Gfriend in 2019 and 2020 but I didn't really get into them until after they had disbanded. After my health issues earlier this year I really started to appreciate their music way more. When I first got into kpop I didn't want to listen to the happy, bubbly, pure type of kpop. On Q2 Viviz performed Rough/Time for the Moon NIght in round one. They called up their leader Sowon to get input on what songs to do since Viviz's leader will always be Sowon. Yuju and Yerin are also soloists now.
Gfriend has a trilogy on their song that you can try School Trilogy Glassbead (2015 debut) Me Gustas Tu (2015) Rough (2016) Sun trilogy Time for the Moon night (2018) Sunny Summer (2018) Sunrise (2019) 回: hwe trilogy Crossroads (2020) Apple (2020) Mago (2020) Other Songs Title Tracks Navillera (2016) Fingertip (2017) Love Whisper (2017) Summer Rain (2017) B-tracks (my Fave) Rainbow Gone with the Wind Windy Windy White Love Star Love in the Air Eclipse Dreamcatcher Tarot Cards Creme Brulee and many more
11:45 when you say 'I don't think I ever saw SinB so happy' I just want to let people know. SinB is one who has ijbolitis of the group. She's a savage, funny and caring . It just misconception that she's b*tch cause of RBF but truthfully she's opposite of it. Plus she is with her OG group. She is just so happy that she's with her family. If you want to know more of GFRIEND and VIVIZ personalities, please check their reality shows respectiviely.
It's a GLORIOUS day! GFRIEND are finally back after 4 years! Yeah, they're releasing a new album in January and are also holding an anniversary concert in Seoul. Plus, they are confirmed to perform at the upcoming Golden Disc Awards. Exciting times to be a Buddy! You expect me to choose only FOUR MVs for you to react to? Talk about a completely impossible task. Hell, even this Killing Voice with its 15 songs has some MAJOR omissions. But ok, I guess I'll just do that then: I'll suggest four songs for you that were not featured in the killing voice: - Love Whisper - Sunrise - Fever - Labyrinth (performance video on 1theK) From left to right: Yuju (main vocal, soloist), Eunha (lead vocal, VIVIZ), Umji (Maknae, VIVIZ), Yerin (lead dancer, soloist), SinB (main dancer, VIVIZ), Sowon (leader) - Just a few weeks ago Viviz were shaking ass in Shhh, and now they're here, back in full wholesome Gfriend mode. It's wild 😂 - Glass Bead is their debut song! Afaik you haven't heard it yet. - Navillera was covered by WJSN on Queendom 2. - 7:20 "she's fantastic" That's Yuju! Main vocal and she also debuted solo after Gfriend was initially dissolved. Some really great music from her. Play and Dalala are my favourites. She was with Kang Daniel's company Konnect but I'm actually not sure about her current status. Kang Daniel was basically scammed by an investor and Konnect doesn't really exist anymore.. - Ahh, MAGO. The greatest disbandment song of all time. But wait! It isn't a disbandment song anymore. Ha! - Fingertip was the first time they really broke away from their signature magic musical sound and they went STRAIGHT for that 70s funk banger. - Rough is one of the songs Viviz did on Queendom 2. Arguably their biggest and most important hit. - Time for the Moon Night is the song Viviz mashed up with Rough on Queendom 2, that's why it sounds so familiar to you. And when I saw Viviz live in London two years ago, this was the one Gfriend song they performed. Let me tell you, I bawled. Time for the Moon Night holds so much emotional value for me, you don't understand. - 22:00 you make a pretty good point here. I watched kpx's reaction to Gfriend where they listened to Rough, Time for the Moon Night, Sunrise, Apple and Mago. And they said something pretty similar: Gfriend has a musical quality to them. Like their songs were taken straight out of a Disney movie. Or from musical theatre. It's a quality that no other kpop group possesses. You've just witnessed the amazing vocal talent of Gfriend but I would like to point out that what they're REALLY known for is their insane synchronisation in dance. If I'm not mistaken, someone has actually done some kind of measurement and Gfriend is the MOST SYNCHRONISED kpop group. Of them ALL. They did a blindfolded dance practice of Mago and every single one of them was always perfectly on beat, in sync and exactly in the right positions. They are absolutely mad talented dancers. GFRIEND has reunited. Lovelyz has reunited (they have a Killing Voice too btw). 2NE1 has reunited (and will perform at SBS Gayo Daejeon). BIGBANG has reunited. I don't even know what year it is anymore.
Gfriend has some of the best instrumentals in kpop! Esp their string. You can try check out 'Rough' and 'Time for the moon night', these two songs represents Gfriend's signature sound 'Orchestral-pop'. Also the b-side song 'Rainbow' with that electric guitar in the intro, such a good song!
Im so happy they're back....being a Buddy since their debut and decided not to stan any other girlgroup after they disbanded because their cured my heartbreak after my mom & dad passed away 😭💗 we can see how Yerin (the full white clothes+pink hair) so happy being together again like me happy they're back
"This sounds familiar" is not a new thing for people to say because their music screams nostalgia. Tbh at this point even if you don't react i'd recommend to just dive into their spotify and discover gems on your own because there's a lot. Even them had a hard time choosing songs to do on dingo, what they've showed here is like a preview 😭
I will recommend Rough, Crossroad, Mago, and Fingertip Omg it's soo hard to recommend 4 songs only but i think they are the ones you liked 😂 they have a lot of great songs, Rainbow the one you liked it's a beside, if I'll recommend a besides there's Eye of storm and Tarot cards ( i think they are more to your taste) Some people compare Gfriend and Dreamcatcher, both have anime intro like songs, one have dark concept and the other bright concept (but not always they have a dark side)
GFRIEND makes you happy without knowing exactly why... It's not perfect orchestral music, nor sublime and ethereal voices, it's something else that emanates from the group itself and fills your heart with joy and tranquility. Flower, Three of cups, Rainbow, Here we are, eclipse are in B-sides. It's better to check things in order because Gfriend has Lore.. 1st trilogy: Glass bead, Me gustas tu, Rough. 2nd trilogy: Summer rain, Time for the moon night, Sunrise 3rd trilogy: Crossroads, Apple, Mago Other songs: Navillera, Fingertip, Love whisper, Fever. Choosing songs from the B side of their discography is very difficult because more than 90% of GFRIEND's songs are very good. And I don't say this as a fan, but because it's the truth.
1:29 My suggestion (which are 5 music videos but you could just choose 4 out of the 5) would be (in this order): Glass Bead, Rough, Fingertip (the song you're grooving with at 12:39), Sunrise, Apple
I know you said you wanted to check out four mvs but I think rainbow and here we are that they sang here definitely deserves a listen if you can manage to check them out in the future 👀
Their music is one of the unique sound in KPOP. Like there's no one who can replace how GFRIEND introduced thos type of powerful, innocent, melancholic, and orchestral sounding music. They are also known for their choreographies hope you get to check out their music soon. They look so comfortable like GFRIEND did not end because they really did not end after the end of their contract 4 years ago, they just like went on hiatus and they are actively supporting each other and hanging out and updates the fans about it. I'm just really happy they are back huhu
The members look so comfortable and happy to be together, as if they were never apart. If there is ever a group that didn't deserve to be disbanded, it is them. Sinb looks more relaxed and chill than ever, but it is Yerin (the pink hair in the middle) that positively beams with happiness to be back with her sisters.
Regarding what you said about their music sounding classy, elegant, and grand, you're correct because that's their trademark sound. 😊 GFRIEND is known for nostalgia music and their genre is mostly POP-ORCHESTRA that's why you can hear a lot of string instruments that makes their sound very elegant. 😊 Their music videos are also connected to each other, they have their own storyline and it's a magical story that actually go well with their music style, almost fantasy-like. 😊
very agree with you
yup. their songs sound similar and have their gfriend vibe yet are also different. They'd make a great mash-up like the school trilogy 😍❤
This is what missing on kpop nowadays, this kind of simple music but having a kickoff to hit concepts. GFRIEND's discography is rare and unique. Their sounds were ethereal and legendary. ❤
And a fun fact,
The reason why VIVIZ has no LEADER, its bcoz the still consider Sowon as their leader. It is somewhat VIVIZ were just a sub-unit of GFRIEND. ❤
Viviz IS a sub-unit of Gfriend in all but name, the members all identify as Gfriend members and they even cover some Gfriend songs. They will never be an official sub-unit they sure as heck function like one.
GFRIEND was and still my fav girl group.. They are so talented and one of the best girl groups with their unique concept!! Thanks for react!!🥹💜
Omg. There are 4 MV/songs you need to check out: Rough, Time for the moon night, Apple (or Crossroads), Mago.
😊
Sunrise too!!
Yess
please add SUNRISE
Hard to pick but to introduce you to them I'll also pick this 4!

Last comment: See you jn January!
22:00 While 3rd gen girl groups were going full-on girl crush, GFRIEND stuck to their own genre of grand music with an innocent yet powerful concept. It's like, when you hear their songs, you instantly recognize, "Ah, this is so GFRIEND." People often describe their music as sounding like anime openings, and honestly, I love that!

If you're new to them, I recommend checking out "Summer Rain" (watch their comeback stage for the full experience), "Mago," and "Fever." As for my personal favorites, I'd go with "Rough," "Love Whisper," "Sunrise," and "Apple."
I’m sorry for my english😭
Gfriend's representitive instrumental is string, electric guitar, and synth!! They has many orchestrastic songs and band sound songs!
The members you don't know
Far left is Yuju - main vocalist
In the middle (between Umji and SinB) is Yerin - lead dancer, vocalist, center
And far right is Sowon - leader, vocalist, visual (and one of the tallest female idols
Gfriend song I requested to react before their 10th anniversary comeback
1) Rough MV
2) Labyrinth 1theK
3) Fingertips MV
4) Rainbow (only have fancam performance also lyrics clips but the sound is still good)
5) Here We Are
and so on, Gfriend has so many good songs not just Korean release but also their Japanese release. All are so good including their bside. If you like real instrumental in the song instead of edm or trending kind of genre, Gfriend is the right group. Their genre given by Korean is known as Orchestra pop, Melancholic, Powerful innocent etc. Harmonization in their song is top notch along with RV and Mamamoo. Their choreography and live performance are also all of it so great, never disappointed. I can praise Gfriend with a long paragraph because their talent as a group not just a member needs to be known by everyone

Gfriend's music is known for its sense of majestic, grand air as one would find extensive use of orchestra elements, particularly the strings. Beyond their music, all the girls are truly charming with distinct personality. The combination is just divine.
GFriend is my favorite girls group since their debuted in 2015. Still I remembered BTS and GFriend together for school uniforms CF in 2016.
Wednesday Family, hehe
Happy times!
Also GFriend are known for their in sync dance practices. They even have some blindfolded dance practices which are insane to watch. The Mago one in particular.
Its difficult to recomend specific musics, because what I love about Gfriend is that they tell a story through their musics/mvs that get more mature with time.

Have Been their fan since 2016. My time seems to stuck in 2020 that's it's felt just 4 years ago i knew them. But it was actually 8 years ago..
They are my teenager phase also young adult phase. I am so excited to see them together again. There so much emotion i felt this week since they announce they gonna have killing voice before their comeback.
The members seems more excited, even more than us, while preparing this. They have been so active in bubble (paid chat apps) sharing what they thoughts, and their condition.
Yuju and sowon share they are not feeling well during their recording for this killing voice, i think bcs it's winter, cold and sore throats are very common. I hope they recover well and doesn't get sick again.
Anyways thanks for your time to reacting to this. Have a great week.
Thank you for reacting to this!
Am I glad to see them again? You have no idea 🥹 Probably my 2nd fav girlgroup, after Dreamcatcher.
They were really big and then really suddenly (had to) disband. It still makes my heart ache. To give you an example, imagine Twice or Stray Kids stopping tomorrow, out of the blue. Never more will there be any new songs or content from them ever again. A LOT of people were really hurt/sad by their sudden disbandment ☝️.
And especially because it was against their will, it's so good to see them together again. Even you noticed how happy they are 😊. You especially noticed Yerin, which kinda makes sense, because she went solo, so to perform with others again must feel extra good for her.
From left to right:
- Yuju. Main vocal. One of my fav voices in kpop. And I think she even was a little under the weather here. She is a soloist now. Friends with Dami.
- Eunha. Listed as Lead Vocal, but I would classify her as 2nd Main Vocal.
- Umji. Vocalist and maknae.
- Yerin. Listed as vocalist but I would classify her as Lead Vocalist. She's a bit of a clown/prankster and was so happy here. She's a soloist now.
- SinB. Listed as Vocalist but I would classify her as Lead Vocalist. Can't forget about her dancing skills either.
- Sowon. Vocalist and Leader. She's now an actress, so I'm glad to hear that she still has them vocals 😊. Truly the rock / mom in this team. You can just see everybody else be (more) at ease when she's around. Also has legs of like 2 meters 😅
Like you mentioned, some songs are a bit fairytale-esque. Those are usually in their EARLY years, with the general theme being: innocent, schoolgirl-next-door, fairytale, anime-opening (yes, they've actually often been called the light side to Dreamcatcher's dark side 😊).
In their LATER years, their sound became more mature, eighties / retro, but with a modern spin.
In my opinion, their change in sound started with the song Crossroads, which is very fitting and imo very cool 😎
My recommendations are (2 early, 2 later):
- Rough
- Time for the Moon Night
- Apple
- Mago
Would be great if you could check out some of their choreo too, because they were (also) known for their dancing (super fun choreo + super in sync).
Killing Voice has been killing it lately:
- bringing Lovelyz back even though they have disbanded
- bringing out Oh My Girl
- and now G-Friend ❤
All celebrating their 10th year anniversary (I think).
Gfriend debuted as the girl group with powerful innocent concept
i recommend to know them as Group for being beagles through guides then you will start to stan them more also they are known for their 2x speed choreo dances, knife-like syncronized dances also they became legendary they do choreos being blind-folded you will be amazed what Gfriend do in k-pop industry
3:40 This is YUJU! She's now a solo artist, as well as the pink-haired girl (YERIN), you should check out their solos too if you have time (and if you want)!
Yeah their concept & storyline match fairytale since debut. But you know what saddest? When Mago was released, one of lyrics saying "No more Fairytale" like referring their part away story 🥹 i love seeing them back again
Yuju, Eunha, Umji, Yerin, SinB, Sowon
GFriend is kind of like the opposite side of the coin from dreamcatcher. If Dreamcatcher is the hype anime intro GFriend is the relaxing anime outro.
For a Spotlight video I'd recommend:
Me Gustas Tu - their first comeback that blew up in popularity and to see what early GFriend was like
Rough - for the lyric breakdown
Time for the Moon Night - for the MV theory's
Sunrise - because it's my favorite song :)
Mago - their disbandment song
GFriend are said to be attending the Golden Disk Awards this year... Something to keep in mind for the Patreon award show reactions.
I was aware of Gfriend in 2019 and 2020 but I didn't really get into them until after they had disbanded. After my health issues earlier this year I really started to appreciate their music way more. When I first got into kpop I didn't want to listen to the happy, bubbly, pure type of kpop.
On Q2 Viviz performed Rough/Time for the Moon NIght in round one. They called up their leader Sowon to get input on what songs to do since Viviz's leader will always be Sowon.
Yuju and Yerin are also soloists now.
I think time for the moon night, rough (their first win), and sunrise are a must!!

Wait until you see they dance! God friend and their synchronization!
11:45 when you say 'I don't think I ever saw SinB so happy' I just want to let people know. SinB is one who has ijbolitis of the group. She's a savage, funny and caring . It just misconception that she's b*tch cause of RBF but truthfully she's opposite of it. Plus she is with her OG group. She is just so happy that she's with her family. If you want to know more of GFRIEND and VIVIZ personalities, please check their reality shows respectiviely.
It's a GLORIOUS day! GFRIEND are finally back after 4 years!
Yeah, they're releasing a new album in January and are also holding an anniversary concert in Seoul. Plus, they are confirmed to perform at the upcoming Golden Disc Awards. Exciting times to be a Buddy!
You expect me to choose only FOUR MVs for you to react to? Talk about a completely impossible task. Hell, even this Killing Voice with its 15 songs has some MAJOR omissions. But ok, I guess I'll just do that then: I'll suggest four songs for you that were not featured in the killing voice:
- Love Whisper
- Sunrise
- Fever
- Labyrinth (performance video on 1theK)
From left to right: Yuju (main vocal, soloist), Eunha (lead vocal, VIVIZ), Umji (Maknae, VIVIZ), Yerin (lead dancer, soloist), SinB (main dancer, VIVIZ), Sowon (leader)
- Just a few weeks ago Viviz were shaking ass in Shhh, and now they're here, back in full wholesome Gfriend mode. It's wild 😂
- Glass Bead is their debut song! Afaik you haven't heard it yet.
- Navillera was covered by WJSN on Queendom 2.
- 7:20 "she's fantastic" That's Yuju! Main vocal and she also debuted solo after Gfriend was initially dissolved. Some really great music from her. Play and Dalala are my favourites. She was with Kang Daniel's company Konnect but I'm actually not sure about her current status. Kang Daniel was basically scammed by an investor and Konnect doesn't really exist anymore..
- Ahh, MAGO. The greatest disbandment song of all time. But wait! It isn't a disbandment song anymore. Ha!
- Fingertip was the first time they really broke away from their signature magic musical sound and they went STRAIGHT for that 70s funk banger.
- Rough is one of the songs Viviz did on Queendom 2. Arguably their biggest and most important hit.
- Time for the Moon Night is the song Viviz mashed up with Rough on Queendom 2, that's why it sounds so familiar to you. And when I saw Viviz live in London two years ago, this was the one Gfriend song they performed. Let me tell you, I bawled. Time for the Moon Night holds so much emotional value for me, you don't understand.
- 22:00 you make a pretty good point here. I watched kpx's reaction to Gfriend where they listened to Rough, Time for the Moon Night, Sunrise, Apple and Mago. And they said something pretty similar: Gfriend has a musical quality to them. Like their songs were taken straight out of a Disney movie. Or from musical theatre. It's a quality that no other kpop group possesses.
You've just witnessed the amazing vocal talent of Gfriend but I would like to point out that what they're REALLY known for is their insane synchronisation in dance. If I'm not mistaken, someone has actually done some kind of measurement and Gfriend is the MOST SYNCHRONISED kpop group. Of them ALL.
They did a blindfolded dance practice of Mago and every single one of them was always perfectly on beat, in sync and exactly in the right positions. They are absolutely mad talented dancers.
GFRIEND has reunited. Lovelyz has reunited (they have a Killing Voice too btw). 2NE1 has reunited (and will perform at SBS Gayo Daejeon). BIGBANG has reunited. I don't even know what year it is anymore.
Thank you for reacting to Gfriend ❤❤❤
Love GFRIEND forever ❤❤
I've been waiting for this ❤
GFRIEND ONE THE BEST GG OF ALL TIME
❤GFriend is LOVE❤
Gfriend has some of the best instrumentals in kpop! Esp their string. You can try check out 'Rough' and 'Time for the moon night', these two songs represents Gfriend's signature sound 'Orchestral-pop'. Also the b-side song 'Rainbow' with that electric guitar in the intro, such a good song!
Im so happy they're back....being a Buddy since their debut and decided not to stan any other girlgroup after they disbanded because their cured my heartbreak after my mom & dad passed away 😭💗 we can see how Yerin (the full white clothes+pink hair) so happy being together again like me happy they're back
"This sounds familiar" is not a new thing for people to say because their music screams nostalgia. Tbh at this point even if you don't react i'd recommend to just dive into their spotify and discover gems on your own because there's a lot. Even them had a hard time choosing songs to do on dingo, what they've showed here is like a preview 😭
I will recommend Rough, Crossroad, Mago, and Fingertip
Omg it's soo hard to recommend 4 songs only but i think they are the ones you liked 😂 they have a lot of great songs, Rainbow the one you liked it's a beside, if I'll recommend a besides there's Eye of storm and Tarot cards ( i think they are more to your taste)
Some people compare Gfriend and Dreamcatcher, both have anime intro like songs, one have dark concept and the other bright concept (but not always they have a dark side)
GFRIEND makes you happy without knowing exactly why... It's not perfect orchestral music, nor sublime and ethereal voices, it's something else that emanates from the group itself and fills your heart with joy and tranquility.
Flower, Three of cups, Rainbow, Here we are, eclipse are in B-sides.
It's better to check things in order because Gfriend has Lore..
1st trilogy: Glass bead, Me gustas tu, Rough.
2nd trilogy: Summer rain, Time for the moon night, Sunrise
3rd trilogy: Crossroads, Apple, Mago
Other songs: Navillera, Fingertip, Love whisper, Fever.
Choosing songs from the B side of their discography is very difficult because more than 90% of GFRIEND's songs are very good. And I don't say this as a fan, but because it's the truth.
6:46 i reallllly miss this concept/type of music in kpop
1:29 My suggestion (which are 5 music videos but you could just choose 4 out of the 5) would be (in this order): Glass Bead, Rough, Fingertip (the song you're grooving with at 12:39), Sunrise, Apple
I know you said you wanted to check out four mvs but I think rainbow and here we are that they sang here definitely deserves a listen if you can manage to check them out in the future 👀
Thank you for the reaction 🥰

Red Haired SinB era is ❤❤❤
