What do you miss the most about GFRIEND??💙

@Darthroevana 1 year ago

I think it’s important to remember that the members didn’t renew because they were not offered a renewal.

@Kaynugroho 1 year ago

It's important to remember that the Leader Sowon told us countless times that the group didn't disband but parted ways from a toxic environment that DIDN'T allow them renewal

I strongly believe that GFRIEND is the real K-pop story of successful girl group. Imagine starting from scratch and doing it twice in their 10 years of career. Literally bringing their company’s name into media by winning multiple awards. Working so hard since debut and the fact that they are so committed to us buddies. They really love being GFRIEND.

Coming back to their old company and lowering their pride just to make Buddies happy for the anniversary. Isn’t that real love? Isn’t that what a real idol do.

GFRIEND FOREVER, BUDDY FOREVER 🤍💜💙

It is important to note that the Gfriend members have said many times that their contracts were terminated. Their contracts were still up to November 2021 yet were terminated during May. Viviz is thriving. At first, it seemed like they lacked as a group because we’re used seeing them as 6. However, they found their breakthrough as a 3-member group, a group that is very different from Gfriend and they succeeded.

I am proud to be part of "Buddy"

GFRIEND's disbandment was a total shock. I'm so glad they remained close and were able to reunite. It felt like a win for the entire K-pop industry.

There's no other girlgroup like GFriend. Their bond to each other is the strongest.
You can find group so popular, looks going well, last longer but dislike each other behind the scene.
Not with these girls. They are not just bandmates, members. They are sisters, family. And it even extends beyond the group. It even extends to us, Buddies. The only group, I can proudly being a part of. The journey may not always be a flowery road. But it's a path, we'll walk together. No matter where it leads us.

Hybe sabotaged Gfriend nobody can convince me otherwise

Thank you for this excellent documentary of G-Friend the girl group that changed KPOP forever -
1) G-Friend did not disband they were cancelled by their agency - they have all spoken about it - specifically SinB -
2) They had to perform MAGO even though their contracts were cancelled - and they didn't know about the cancellation -
VIVIZ - The heroines of KPOP - Kept the dream alive, that one day G-Friend would return - demonstrating that even though you got kicked under the bus, you can return if you have the courage and determination to do so - VIVIZ, probably the hardest working girl group in the industry, have put out more content in the few years they have been together than most girl groups put out in their entire career.
Queendom-2 VIVIZ - Performed on a survival show after only have been a group for a few months in 2022 - and finished third against major players in the genre or KPOP

Even as a ReVeluv, i greatly miss GFRIEND in today's kpop landscape. They have something so unique, their dedication is one of a kind. And with VIVIZ and their runion, I'm happy we can all root for them again.

@Kikiinthemodernworld 1 year ago

i'm still here. buddy of 2015.

@tami6666 1 year ago

i met them when i just become a teenager and they "disbanded" as i became an adult, they're literally my youth. i feel like im just growing with them even after they go to their separate ways, and me with my own way as well.

@silentcrymode 1 year ago

Thank you for this great video. But you forgot one thing. The members never said they were disbanding, their contracts were terminated. However, the reason is still unknown. But, we, BUDDY, always trust the members 💜💙🤍

@xavana2442 1 year ago

After years of being fans I feel like the disbandment was a bless in disguise, They look more happy and comfortable with their new projects.

I cried watching this. It’s so heartbreaking to remember that GFriend was disbanded by their own agency. I’m so angry at Source Music and HYBE. I will curse Source Music and HYBE forever!!

@francinev3971 8 months ago (edited)

what i hate the most is how the company tried to push the members as the villains when they pushed the members to a situation which left them no choice of renewal.

i want to add that sowon is now a beauty brand CEO
