COUPLE GETS TO KNOW GFRIEND (여자친구) PT. 1 | Glass Bead, Me Gustas Tu, Rough, & NAVILLERA

[@KessandHanReacts]

We're having a GFRIEND Deep Dive livestream Wednesday (1/22) @ 4:00pm EST on our Twitch! Make sure to drop a follow over there so you don't miss the stream! twitch.tv/kessandhan (I know we said it would be this Saturday in the video but our schedule changed a bit so we had to move the stream to next Wednesday instead!)

[@dem0nxx671]

Between Rough and Navillera there was a advertising MV - GFRIEND x AMERICAN TOURISTER - 파도 (Wave).

[@dem0nxx671]

Choreography, like vocals, is one of the strongest points of GFriend. They are called the Queens of Syncronisation, just watch at least one of the dance practices (or at least the choreographic versions of MVs) and you will see and understand everything.

[@ILOVEITZZYYY]

No I have work. Lol

[@ThinkB4YouType]

The most impressive thing about GFRIEND were their blindfold/eye mask dance practices performances. GFRIEND was the GOAT at synchronized dance performances and it shows how much they must've practiced to be so good. You should check out this compilation of their blindfolded performances which is crazy mind-blowing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6Srf5-Xna-FeqM

[@kjourni]

Highly HIGHLY recommend reacting to their 2x dance vids, choreo vids, and blindfold dance vid

[@cian3462]

Rough by GFRIEND got 15 music show wins, and has the 6th most wins out of any song on kpop music shows so it's pretty notorious. With Navillera being 7th overall with 14 wins.

[@TUhtReP834]

Also a sole 2nd overall for GG songs of all time after LUV from Apink which got 17 wins. The fact that they won 29 music shows from only 2 songs is very impressive.

[@vincexiv6380]

First 3rg Gen group to have a PAK and a Daesang

[@blueoceangameplay2278]

they win MAMA for the best choreography that year ROUGH

[@roryroorahh]

on top of that, at the time Rough was 3rd place only behind Luv by Apink, Call Me Baby by EXO and Gangnam Style by PSY

[@leocookie9908]

May i recommend you also catch some of their dance practices? Just so you really get a grasp on how phenomenal of dancers they are cause they were KNOWN as the gen 3 synchronization and x2 dance QUEENS! Even if you do so in ur free time, i would highly recommend their 2x dance videos, they are *insanity*

[@Piyanan3002]

Up

[@bayusaputra2143]

Up

[@mr.s5652]

The practice room is crazy, highly recommended

[@Hannie-p5q]

uppppp

[@chaemochi]

I think they do all of the deep dive things like stages, dance practices, etc on their deep dive streams on Twitch.

[@tokazekushi]

a little story for you guys, Glass bead, Me Gustas Tu and Rough is also called "School Trilogy" where in, Glass Bead is the fresh year of highschool, Me Gustas Tu is the summer break and Rough is the Graduation part, so basically Han is Correct.. :D

[@rinaharumlistya]

and they mashup the 3 songs. live at Dream Concert 🤯

[@DatVideoDoe]

Rough really just hits you in the feels. It’s so emotional. Like, there’s a reason Yeseo (and almost the entire audience) we’re crying when VIVIZ performed it on QUEENDOM2.

[@tadashymartinez8436]

Gfriend has always felt nostalgic even when they were rookies they just invoke that feeling. They are an amazing group so happy to see you guys getting into them.

[@maousama-gaming3634]

This is why buddies always love gfriend, they worked hard with small companies initially

[@citizenshoop]

I'm glad you guys are noticing the choreos so much. A lot of people these days have gotten so used to GGs doing crazy complex choreo so GFriend's don't stand out as much in hindsight. But they were absolutely groundbreaking at the time.

[@도토리묵923]

From 16:39, when you were watching without any words, I literally cried 😢😢 Here's some guides that might help you enjoy them : The first three songs are called "School triology". Me gustas tu is when summer vacation, and maybe Rough is when winter vacation, but most people know Rough as "Graduation season" (because of lyrics) and remind Rough at that season. Many of Gfriend's songs has two name, the Korean one, and the English one. "Me gustas tu" is Spanish sentence, but it's Korean title is "From today, We" Rough's Korean title is "Run through the time" (so it has clock sound and choreo) Navillera's Korean title is "You and Me" Gfriend's most popular songs are Me gustas tu, Rough, and Time for the moonnight.(And Glass Bead, Navillera follow up) Gfriend's signiture instrumentals are electric guitar, strings, and synth.( also piano and wind chime are used many times) All of their title songs before "TFTMN" and some other songs of them are made by one composer team(two members). Most of their music videos are taken in Korea, and "쟈니브로스", one of the most popular mv production in Korea made MVs of (School triology, Fingertip, Love whisper, Summer rain, Memoria, Fever). One Gfriend's precious, valuable feature is "nature-friendly". You can find it in their songs' titles, lyrics, and MVs (especially Love whisper, Summer rain). Gfriend has many summer songs. They has a summer mini album. And their 7th mini album called "Fever" and their 1st album(Title song :Navillera) have summer vibes, so some Korean buddies calls them "SummerFriend". Gfriend is the first Idol that played "Double-Speed Dance", and you can find their "Blind Dance Practice" on youtube. Also Gfriend has a title "Synchronization Queen". kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5iVg2qDqZ2sf5osi=p69PsQ5CWuVBPvLl This video made Gfriend start being popular(In the rain, slippery stage, huge moths) and Rough made them one of the famous idols.(Rough reached the second rank of the year on the most famous music chart in Korea at the time, 2016. 1st rank was Cheer up by Twice) YUJU is top tier idol vocalists (In 3rd generation, Yuju, Wendy, Solar, and Jihyo werr great main vocalists). Source Music, Which made Lesserafim in HYBE is started with 5 employees. In their basement practice room, Gfriend has been formed. Before Source Music went into HYBE Label, Gfriend was all of them, the only contracted artist. It's pleasure to see first reaction of Gfriend at this era, 2025 and I hope you to react to their Killing Voice!!! Thanks for deep diving into Gfriend 😍😍😍😍😍

[@leocookie9908]

I have to say, the reason you got chills for rough, is the same reason we all do, its an INCREDIBLE song and known as one of the first (of many) golden eras of gfriend! Cant wait for you to hit the next golden eras!

[@leocookie9908]

Their lore is pretty complex, i at some point had a whole spreadsheet linking stuff together 😂 But the jist of it is, their concept goes from becoming a friend group, obtaining supernatural powers at some point in the storyline (the key power being time travel associated with eunha) and tldr, eunha typically goes back in time to save her members from hurting each other or themselves in search for "greater power" for the sake of their friendship, its quite a moving concept that gets to a close in crossroads, and starts basically from the first mv, its a very long story of friendship betrayal and the supernatural, you just have to follow the blue butterfly when it first appears ❤

[@StanleyKuo184]

Please react to their dance practices if you can. GFriend's choreography is among the best in KPOP and their dancing skills are second to none.

[@Megan11..]

Rough and Navillera are the 6th and 7th top kpop song EVER with the most wins on music shows (15 and 14 respectively), beat only by BTS x3, Apink, Psy, and EXO and tied for 6th with Wanna One and 7th with SNSD x2, EXO, and IVE. They held their OWN among the top 2nd and 3rd gen groups despite being from a small label.

[@breakforthechorus6230]

Two of my all time favorite kpop songs. The awards were beyond warranted.

[@Theblossomgirl25]

Gfriend was really sensational for real ! People who don’t know them are missing out ❤

[@jaebudz1018]

FUNFACT: ME GUSTAS TU was known as Korea's Kpop Nation Anthem as it reconnects & unites all fandom with each every lightsticks up and waving in one huge concert stage while they're performing School Trilogy. Its such a great performance in kpop history.❤

[@kellycezz]

Gfriend was and always my first love and heartbreak in KPOP history. These girls are legends and trendsetters. They broke the record for longest charting song on MelOn, was the first 3rd gen group to get a PAK, invented the iconic 2x speed dance, made synchronized dancing known in kpop, iconic dance breaks and performances in every award shows, bringing back innocent and nostalgic concept in kpop, 1st GG to win 2 Triple Crowns in a single year, and queens of trilogies. MOTHERS OF 3RD GENS!! The achievements of these girls are truly remarkable and I’m so happy that a lot of new kpop fans are slowly loving and appreciating them 🥹♥️

[@Van_TT]

GFRIEND was basically overshadowed by BlackPink and Twice during their era. It is so awesome that more K-pop fans are discovering their music now. 9 years flew by so fast! It is really nostalgic listening to their music again.

[@kotaac.]

Red velvet too

[@ilikegirls.pause.imeangene3517]

Honestly speaking no one overshadowed no one I'm a fan of all these 4 groups they are G.O.A.T because right now the gg and evn many bg have sounds similar to these 4 groups (TW,BP,Rv, Gfriend) 😌

[@JaNiMa03]

Gfriend could definitely compete with these 3 in 2015 and 2016

[@Juan-ou1ve]

Gfriend was so different from them, from sound to choreo style. They were so unique and distinct. They may have the best choreos in kpop (and they weren't even from the Big 3)

[@vincexiv6380]

Funny is that 4 groups have totally different concepts. GFRIEND was leaned towards GP of Korea, and was never meant to target global audience. Attestation that Season of Memories ENTERED ALL KOREAN Charts despite being in a hiatus for 4 years.

[@ohhadi1597]

Actually in 2015-2016 is their trilogy of school concept, specifically it called power innocent. They show pure with beauty and talent as youth. They win their 1st trophy in music show in Rough era, and as you can see in navillera MV they wipe all of their trophy because they got 29 only in one year and it's such a boom. Fyi, they're the 1st group who created 2x speed dance in weekly idol and it's being a culture of kpop idol show until now. They're such a legend and keep developing source music go through difficulties, but the agency betrayed them even tho they reunited again in this early year :"). In all aspects, dance, vocal, personality, we all know GFRIEND is good

[@TabAtkinsJr]

I love that, in Navillera, the girls are finally getting old enough to start looking like their adult selves, except Umji WHO IS STILL THE CUTEST BABBY (and stays that way until VIVIZ when she suddenly turns on the Sexy)

[@glennmonter386]

Thank you for reacting GFriend 💙💜🤍

[@youknowsoobinsoobinyouknow]

rough is THAT song, it moves every listeners. I kept going back into that song since it's release up until now, i just can't get over how good and dramatic it sounds, it's just kpop perfection.

[@TameKevin3000]

i feel like crying watching u guys reacting to gfriend. this is wholesome!

[@galaxywonwoo]

back in the day gfriend is really popular, for me I'll consider them underappreciated. Their achievement coming from small company (source music is broke at that time) yet they are able to have the same popularity as the girlgroup from Big 3. Their song Rough achieve 15 wins and Navillera with 14. They have a lot of hits on their belt. Don't get me started how talented each member is, and for me Yuju is actually a very talented, her voice is such a treat and her dance skills is also good and she can write and produce songs too. Sowon is very under rated with her beauty. It a shame people don't appreciate them so much and throw hate on them because they are insanely good people and very talented. Happy to see you having a deep dive, I hope to see you guys check their dance practices, Yuju and Yerin's solo musics, and listen to their albums it is not too late to stan them!!!

[@yukuolee3740]

Well you guys are truly excited about a Gfriend deep dive after watching their "Season of Memories". I didn't expect you to get going so fast but I am all for it. I must say that you are great reactors. In your first deep dive session, you are grasping the keys of Gfriend magic so promptly. I would say that your educated instinct is serving you well. Gfriend's music is very special, particularly for those who can tune in to their core essence. You already experienced their beautiful vocal. While Gfriend members are known for their vocal, Yuju, the main vocal, is a once-in-a-blue-moon vocal monster with her immense power and unique color. And rather than suppressing her talent like in some group for uniformity, Gfriend decided to take full advantage of it and the result is self-evident. (maybe a bit too much) Also Gfriend's industry famous choreo is a true standout for its precision, expressiveness and elegance. Gfriend reset the standard of synchronization for girl groups. What is more precious is that their choreography execution is based on a lot of sweat and tears to achieve. Other than SinB as a recognized dancer, the girls worked long and hard to set their standard high. Most importantly, Gfriend's music feels genuine, sincere, and speaks to the listener's heart rather than ears, always about positive attributes each of us longed for during our younger days - friendship, joy, curiosity, consternation of the future, and the unchanging determination to be with your loved ones. I feel, Buddy, Gfriend fandom, is a loyal bunch because, rather than be thrilled or fascinated by their idols, they feel they are in the company of their soulmate who can listen and console when listening to Gfriend. The sense of nostalgia, with all its orchestral elements, is palpable in the majority of their work. BTW, in this video, you experienced the early years of Gfriend, whose concept of "Powerful Innocence" dominated through their school trilogy (Glass Bead, Me Gustas Tu, and Rough) plus Navillera, launching Gfriend into stardom. Their music went through different gyrations but the theme of friendship and mutual support remain a thread throughout. Many went down a similar path as you did here at the time (myself included). As an example of Gfriend's impact, between Rough and Navillera, Gfriend won 29 music show awards in a single year, and a Kpop icon was born in spite of their young age and humble beginning with a small agency. Of course the Gfriend s story continues to evolve from here, and look forward to your next stop in your deep dive.

[@nonniriver99]

I like how the both of you were silent for the second part of Rough. It’s such an angsty song and it really shows how much you guys were in it emotionally. Like how in concerts people would be silent after an emotional song to let the feels sit for a second before applauding. I feel like it would feel wrong if someone was talking their way through it.

[@milanosrp]

So as far as the lore goes, it is supposed to be consistently them throughout the years (with the concept being lifelong friends, and slightly sapphic-coded). The school trilogy (first three songs) represent a school year, summer break, and then graduation. With regards to Navillera, the lore for that song is actually that Yerin and Eunha are in love (yes, really! they confirmed it!). In later videos SinB and Yerin are in love (fingertip, crossroads), but the lore does go sort of off the rails starting with Fingertip (including time travel, lol), so don't get too overwhelmed with it!

[@mr.s5652]

GFRIEND is a legend. They existed in the same period as TWICE and BLACKPINK. They were originally in the same company as LE SSERAFIM. However, HYBE thought that their music was old-fashioned and did not fit the market, so they terminated the contract.

[@aggwgg8750]

was that really the reason?

[@anp_gaming16]

Laboum dan Lovelyz juga legend digenerasi ke 3

[@gusgusmukbangchanell]

The originaly from source music

[@gusgusmukbangchanell]

@@mizan_syuk4562 its very long storyy

[@wiinownaa]

​@@mizan_syuk4562 nope, you are sooo wrong😂 source music terminated their contract one sidedly. Even gfriend knows about their contract termination through news not from source music itself. JANGAN SOK TAU LO

[@pamankpop]

Goosebump is a normal reaction to GF songs because they somehow evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing for something/ someone long forgotten.

[@ivanzamarripa9393]

GFRIEND QUEENS OF CHOREO. THE SYNCHRONICITY LEGENDS. all their songs make me cry because they just feel like YEARNING

[@juliel2488]

Gfriend truly shows what "friendship" really is, both in irl and in MV's, it's so heartfelt, strong and beautiful. Their overall story is mainly about friendship and time travel/paralell universes to try find the universe that they are together again when they get seperated, that's why "season of memories" was so emotional, because they finally found each other again through time, that also paralelled their story irl with their journey as Gfriend since they have been away for 4 years but reunited. The vibe is also very heavily nostalgia as you guys noticed! They're known for their melancholic but powerful songs and synchronized and insanely hard choreo! Loved the reaction!! Kess had the same reaction as me, I was so overwhelmed with Rough which I saw first and then Navillera, it just hooked me so bad. Can't wait to see you guys react to TFTMN which was my first comeback with them as a buddy! It's so good!

[@lasagnathan69420]

"I feel like I've been on the verge of tears since the second song." Yes, welcome to GFriend XD I'm close to tears just watching your reaction. Definitely on the short list of groups I wish I could hear for the first time again... I don't know how they managed it, but this is a group that made me nostalgic for experiences and feelings I never even had. I remember how blown away I was at the time by their choreo, and watching it all here again, I'm still blown away. To say nothing of the actual music and their singing! Just a special, special group. Looking forward to part two!

[@AeMixNewMonZone_Multi]

GFRIEND Choreos are actually insane!! I'm very glad you guys are looking into them, I look forward to watching your journey as hopefully new Buddies!!

[@kamson8172]

Rough actually won MAMA best dance performance in 2016 beating TWICE which is so great cause Cheer Up really swept that year. Also in the end of year, Cheer Up and Rough are basically top 1 and 2 most streamed song of 2016.

[@rmmicu]

In the first part of Me Gustas Tu, it is Yerin who does the hopping over Umji while Yuju is the one who slid under.Umji. It is the song that put them on the map. In a performance on a wet, slippery stage because it was outdoors and it was raining with lots of insects, they kept falling (especially Yuju who fell multiple times and actually dislocated a finger) but they kept getting up to perform. Very young girls showing professionalism got them noticed and their next 2 songs, Rough and Navillera combined got them the record for a girl group with most music show wins in a year with 29. Not sure if that record has been broken already though. The song I remember with the most wins, though, is LUV by Apink with 17 (Rough had 15 while Navillera had 14). It;s kinda funny that stuff you took notice of are actual concepts they have throughout their songs. Their reunion song Season of Memories pays homage to Rough a lot (moving side to side featuring one member at a time, the ending with them moving towards the left then looking up)

[@mariafernandafuentesmacias7009]

27:00 What defines Gfriend music is NOSTALGIA always their songs sound nostalgic, even a happy song feels somehow nostalgic. I love them.

[@sznofspyglass]

i love how their songs actually evokes EMOTIONS !! like that's what missing these days

[@birdyaurora9431]

Please include "Summer Rain", "Love Whisper", Fever", "Time for the Moon Night", "Sunrise", "Crossroads", and "Mago" in Part 2 or even Part 3 if possible! GFRIEND also has so many amazing B-side tracks and great Japanese songs like "Fallin' Light" and "Memoria". Even though their MVs look soft and emotional, the fan theories are surprisingly dark. I often see themes of death, injury, or pain in those theories-usually involving Eunha 😂. Fans also point out recurring symbols like clocks, teddy bears, glass beads, and butterflies. If you’re interested in the theories, Buddies are always eager to explain! You could also check out GFRIEND’s guide. There’s a well-done 30-minute video from around four years ago that covers a lot of information about them for new fans. They’re known as the queens of synchronization, speed dancing, vocals, and variety shows-truly legends in every way! And one last thing: PLEASE WATCH THEIR KILLING VOICE PERFORMANCE. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! If you agree with me, please like my comment so Kess and Han can see this, thank you ❤

[@rinaharumlistya]

Yes. Let's do a guide. I learned about Gfriend from Subpar Guide made by Catrina channel. It's a good one.

[@Soulstone276]

gfriend's discography...including MVs is a beautiful journey...that's why I loved the fact that the concept of season of memories was a train ❤

[@Isa-mu8yp]

aaaah this brings back so many memories! I miss this GFriend soooo much

[@_T048]

Girls, welcome to K-pop history!!!!! This is 3rd gen greatness.

[@adhrianpsalmzuniga7977]

Oh my, welcome to the rabbit hole of GFriend! Their discography is so good! I hope you react to all their MVs and B-side track!❤❤❤

[@MojaveHigh]

I got into watching dance practices because of GFriend. They are great strong dancers and of course vocalists.

[@breakforthechorus6230]

Aaaaaaaaaah yessss. First RV, then DC, Then Everglow and SNSD. Now Gfriend?? Y'all are just reading my most played artists list. Gfriend are legendary. Their music is SO uniquely them and us Buddies love it so much. Yuju is one of my biggest vocal inspirations next to Wendy, Ailee, and Taeyeon. The powerful soulful tone and butter smooth vocals. Ugh. A++ Stan Gfriend and all it's members for clearer skin and good health.

[@ujang2365]

Great reaction! Thanks for reacting to Gfriend! Just wait until you listen to time for the moon night. Rough and time for the moon night surely two of the best gfriend song IMO.

[@breakforthechorus6230]

Time for the Moon Night is one of my favorite Gfriend title tracks.

[@janchristianmaybituin6361]

They are top tier Kpop. I hope you react to all of their MVs ❤️ and their B-sides are very very good as well! So excited for your next video.

[@chicknapper6692]

Rough is my 2nd favorite kpop songs of all time..and i'm buddy since glass bead..i love them so much...😊and eunha is my 3rd ultimate kpop bias..😊

[@uaenaiyu]

Rough is really that song! You guys are right! You have heard it before since Viviz performed it during Round 1 of Queendom 2. That performance still brings me to tears every time I watch it 😭

[@caesarmikail4410]

I'm telling you, if you like music with detailed instrumentals. your choice is gfriend. Seriously, they don't have a main rapper, but they have strong and detailed vocals and instrumentals. that's what makes them different from other kpop groups. They don't follow most kpop trends because they have a pure power innocent concept. increasingly their music is like a classic orchestra. has strong strings and guitar. they are the inspiration for many kpop girl groups, their strong dancing has set the standard for kpop girl groups. replaces the cute and sexy dance from gen-2. If you ask why kpop girl groups now have strong dance moves, it started with GFriend. and they became the inspiration for GG called dreamcatcher. and the important thing is that they are known for their talent, not just their visuals. FYI. "rough" and "navillera" were released in 2016, and they won the trophy "rough" 15 wins, and "navillera" 14 wins. In 1 year they got 29 trophies just for their music. not many kpop GGs have managed to do this within 1 year of their debut. Note : they still maintain their trademark in the song "season of memories". they don't do strong types of music like girl crush, bad girls, or swag whatever. but they remain in their initial concept like anime ost. and they also have a story line in their MV. if you watch all their MVs, you will find the meaning of their stories. "season of memories" is not a meaningless title. "season of memories" is a continuation of the gfriend story line.

[@somebuddy.]

Thanks for reacting to gfriend! Highly recommend to watch their dance practices too! Gfriend is well known for their knife-life choreo and synchronized dance

[@rizka2279]

please continue the chronological MV, their ended contract in the past very heart breaking for all of us and they still manage to be a "sister" for 10 years even they have been stop as a group for long time. They fight to keep GFRIEND name as it is. Their friendship is pure and real, that's why you can feel the deep feeling or sad about them

[@Luwwu]

When i say that newer groups be lacking a lot lately is because we've had groups at that level before, TALENT.

[@simjake2269]

The first 3 MVs are the school trilogy

[@MuhammadRyadhTKJ]

FINALLY IT'S ABOUT GODDAMN TIME! THANK YOU TO DEEP DIVE INTO MY QUEENS

[@newmoon7978]

I want you to watch all of Gfriend's MVs and the music stages are really good, especially Yuju's high notes.

[@s0ck2]

the dance practices are one of my favorite things to watch from gfriend they are syncronized queens (even blindfolded) and their bsides are sooo good! also for fanmade content 100% leadersowon is the go to! see you guys in the deep dive stream!

[@jadeantunes]

GFRIEND is the most synchronized girl group of all time, I hope you know that

[@TheMetalPigeon]

Can't begin to express how grateful and happy I am that you guys are deep diving GFriend and getting to experience what many of us have already --- I wish I could trade places and experience them for the first time again. They're my ults in K-Pop, they are masters, absolute masters of that nostalgic vibe and their music is impeccable, not just the title tracks, but their b-sides as well, maybe only rivaled by Red Velvet for sheer depth. Their music hits me in a way that few other things have, their weird mash up of early 90s new jack city R&B with symphonic arrangements and sparkling, J-Pop melodies is just an incredible musical amalgam. I could go on and on but I digress, just wanted to say thank you for deep diving them and I look forward to the rest of their mvs in your reactions.

[@christian81015]

Gfriend was that a powerhouse and was strong enough to rival twice at the time. If they had proper promotions, im 100% certain they would have triumph over twice tbh. Their dancing was all in sync as they perform and don't get me started on their live vocals.

[@megagene]

I'm going to really enjoy reliving getting to know GFriend again through your eyes. As you could already tell only 4 MVs in, there is a reason why they are such a legendary and special group. There is no one else like them in the industry, and any time any other group does a song that's even remotely in a similar style, the first thing that comes to people's minds is "Hey, this reminds me of GFriend." Their music definitely changed throughout the years, but that special sauce that made them so beloved never went away and a lot of that comes down to the members themselves. Such a perfect combination of quirky, funny, and talented girls with an unbreakable bond ever since the beginning and still today 10 years later.

[@wonhong8287]

한국인입니다. Gfriend는 kpop에서 온갖 역경과 어려움을 극복하고 성공하는 스토리의 상징입니다. 작디작은 회사 소속으로 제대로된 지원이 없는 상황에서 멤버들과 회사가 하나의 굳건한 팀을 이루어, 결국에는 성공했죠. 멤버들은 열악한 무대에서 여러차례 쓰러지기도 했고, 돈이 없어 초라한 숙소에서 오래 생활했죠. Gfriend 노래 가사는 대부분 서정적인 한국어로 가득차 있고, 전형적인 한국인의 학교생활, 동네 모습이 뮤직비디오에 재현되어 , 한국인들에게는 정겹게 느껴지는 그룹입니다. 초기 gfriend 노래들은, 대기업의 자본과 화려한 기교가 없이, 그저 순수한 음악과 멤버들의 노력으로 제작된 것이죠. Kpop의 순수함을 느낄 수 있을 것입니다. Mago부터는 다른 대기업 그룹들과 별차이가 없어졌지만.

[@kerobelous]

So happy to see this! ❤ Back then, I was a full-time SONE and heard people talking about a group with a member who looked like Jessica, claiming they were trying to copy GG. Naturally, I got curious and looked them up… and just like that, I became a Buddy! Happy 10th Anniversary to my girls and fellow Buddies!

[@Cokebath]

I'm actually so happy that yall actually enjoy their earlier sound. So many new fans just enjoy the last couple songs which are great too, but their whole discography is just amazing. I'm really excited to see how far yall go with this deep dive. I'm hoping it goes beyond just watching their MVs. Their concept is very much love in their friendship and I would highly recommend watching their official lore videos once yall have seen the music videos.

[@rinaharumlistya]

Hope it will dive so deep into the Weekly Idol episodes and Showtime 😁

[@Cokebath]

@rinaharumlistya I hope so too! Especially the Memoria episodes

[@Aiko_Gfriend_Fan]

10 Years ago today (debut Jan.15.2015) was the birth of such an iconic group that would set a whole new standard in K-Pop. if you plan on going through the history of GFRIEND...you have lots of work to do!. Btw...Yerin was the one who jumps over them while Yuju slides under them.

[@itsAlexD00d_]

ohhhhh, i can't wait for y'all to get to Crossroads like gurl if you wanted a tear-jerker, TFTMN and Crossroads are just *chef's kiss*

[@happinesss2]

Yesss. Crossroads is underrated because that’s my second favorite title track from them. Obsessed. Rough is my favorite of ALL time. ITS LEGENDARY

[@ogdencore]

Finally Gfriend reactions! Hope to see more from you guys!

[@sense2001]

I can't wait for you to watch later releases! after this is a new era of Gfriend Fingertip > Love Whisper > Summer Rain Time For The Moon Night > Sunny Summer (+Memoria) > Sunrise (+Flower) > Fever (+Fallin' Light) Then the essential video you must watch! The Hui era, you must watch tale of the glass beads for the lores, it's very essential or you won't understand the symbolism in the song! A Tale of the Glass Bead : Previous Story > Crossroads > A Tale of the Glass Bead : Butterfly Effect > Apple > Mago

[@sense2001]

FYI: A Tale of the Glass Bead is very essential because if you don't watch it you will NOT understand crossroads at all! Crossroads is an all lore MV and there is no dance scene at all

Ay! Estoy muy feliz de que les hayan gustado tanto. Bienvenidas al club Buddy 💙💜🤍 Aquí una buddy mexicana estará presente en todo su deep dive💞💞

[@elgins9477]

I’m so happy to see someone go down into the rabbit hole. GFRIEND has one of the most immaculate discographies in all of KPop. Happy you’re discovering them!

[@이지니-n6c]

유주님의 보컬실력과 음색은 진짜 걸그룹 최고인듯

[@itsdowskie7971]

I feel you gurls how speechless you are about Gfriend, we will wait to see your next reactions

[@Dxodxo738]

They're a living legends 😌 still they manage to get the pop when they enter the stage 🦄 and their songs are so beautiful and meaningful that's the real sound of k-pop 🫡 The members are Sowon Yuju Yerin Eunha Sinb Umji 😊

[@destr0llet]

it's so nice seeing people appreciate gfriend 😭 I've been a buddy for 8 years and rough never gets old..tysm for reacting and loving them!

[@mayoonaise]

I've been a buddy since mgt era and watching u guys experience them makes me tear up. this reminds me how precious gfriend is and everything I experienced alongside their artistic journey. I just love them so much and I love watching others discover them 💐

[@ninjamanda4]

Gfriend is the best!! So excited to watch all your deep dive content! You’re not the only one who gets emotionally affected by this group… there’s just something about their music that takes my breath away! Also it makes so much sense musically why you enjoy them since Dreamcatcher is your ult group and GFriend and Dreamcatcher are affectionately known as the lighter/darker versions of each other in the kpop world! 😁

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MY WHOLE LIFE IT FEELS

[@sachiikoamaya5009]

OMG! Love your reactions! Can't wait for more! To get a bit of an idea of the lore, they made a couple of videos for them from Glass bead to Crossroads; A tale of the glass beas series but not much of the details. But I think based on the mini story books included in their Labyrinth, Song of the Sirens and Walpurgis night Albums: so basically they got magical abilities in the lake; they got envy with each other abilities; they fight each other; eunha suddenly realizes if the gift was a blessing or a curse; eunha went to an old bookstore in a far away town to get information about the blue butterflies and because her ability can awaken the blue butterfly's power to turn back time again and again to save her friends at the cost of her Glass Bead turning dark; but everytime she went back in time, everything gets worse; that's why most in their MVs they are separated at first then became together again at the end. If I also remember correctly, there was another member who went to the town and got information about the blue butterfly after eunha, no more further details about that but I think that could be Sowon or SinB since SinB and Eunha are always together on the MV like Fingertip (they were together when SinB suddenly awakens while Eunha was on bed sleeping, Crossroads where they were arguing, and Season of memories at the end of the MV where they were together at the seat on the train while everyone have their own seats.)

GFRIEND THE MOST GIRL GROUP KPOP THAT CALLED "SYNCHRONIZE QUEEN"

[@disly_strawhat]

GFRIEND=LEGENDARY They are one of the absolute best K-pop groups out there. They are all vocalists, all dancers, & all performers. They are literally known as the Synchronization Queens and their choreography is always sooo good! Their foot & hand work is so intricate & their formations are always so cool.

[@eunha530]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REACT TO ALL OF THEIR DANCE PRACTICE 😭🙏 I'm sure you'll like it!

[@a_lost_staysider]

rough was my favourite girl group song of all time back then. made me emotional everytime I heard it. man when it came out, yea life changing...

[@nathantsang6766]

GFRIEND is LEGENDARY. They took the concept of SNSD's 'Into the New World"s concept and absolutely perfected it to a T.

[@alibeanie]

GFriend was the group I was first obsessed with when I started to listen to kpop, i remember being a buddy first. Its so nostalgic to watch them specially paying more attention to their MV's , their dance, the music, the voices, there was nobody like them back then and until now. I am happy they are back together bc they literally were taken away from us over nothing!!!! They were literally so funny too, their variety show with MAMAMOO was super fun to watch and they are the group that popularized things like 2x dance, I am so happy to see more people discover them. They were from a small company with no big names behind them, GFriend was built from nothing other than hard work and faith

[@Whotheheckareyou]

As both a buddy and a my, im so happy you love aespa, and is slowly getting into the gfriend rabbit hole. I am sure you guys will love them so much 😭

[@dramiesaremybabies]

i never even consider myself as a buddy (their fandom name, if im not mistaken 😅) but GIRL u need to watch their dance practice videos, their choreos are sooo good and synchronized its so satisfying 🤧❤️ if people says Gfriend is a legend then i have nothing against it. i'd be agree 100% 😂😂😂

[@somebuddy.]

Fun fact: Navillera's music show wins are as many as the number of trophies on its MV

[@somebuddy.]

26:14 in this part, Sinb wipes 14 cups, exactly the same number the song won later at music shows

[@azizazhariramli1020]

omygosh!!! your reactions really clicking my memories with them!!! like everything you just said alsoooo like 23:27 triggering my deja vu from like 7 10 yearsss ago hahaha...like that comment about nostalgic also was so true and unexplainable...being shared through all buddies and every listeners of their musics...all got some touching-feel-like-crying-nostalgic for something that we never had hahahaha.. like what to be nostalgic for?? but the feeling of nostalgic is so strong!! hahaha 25:15 i think you both are lucky though discovering them now... i tell you what... you got a VAST ASSSS COLLECTION of their bsides from all albums to get into....i am a kpop fan since 2nd gen but gfriend the one who made me appreciate bsides of album that change my life...

[@nrsherra968]

I hope yall could read my comment. Actually Gfriend journey is all related with time travel. Their mv & song literally connected each other since debut. The whole journey is all about their friendship from how they're happy friend turn to bad thing in their relay 😢 they missing each other. Their storyline goes from happiness into darkness. Most mind blowing lore I could ever said in Kpop. They're related with Blue Butterfly, it resemble (Butterfly Effect) for time travel. And almost their mv was categories in certain trilogy. - Glass Bead, Megustas tu, Rough: School Trilogy - Navillera, Fingertip, Love Whisper: Parallel Trilogy - Time for the moon night, Sunrise: Moon & Sun Trilogy - Crossroad, Apple & Mago: 回 Trilogy (The symbol was resemble Labyrinth in mythology (kind of they're trapped in time) 😢 Their lore is more than deep if I could ever wrote all that down. But I left yall to figure it out next 😊 hope this is help. Thank you!!

[@Theblossomgirl25]

Love you guys ! Thank you for reacting to Gfriend ! Can’t wait for part 2, you won’t regret !!! ❤

[@HiccupHaddock412]

MY OG BABIES! MY GFRIEND GIRLIES! T.T Reminded me of why I love BINI. The powerful vocals, synchronization and personalities. Thank you for doing this throwback deep dive.

[@CarolinaGarcia-hj1ro]

I’m SO HAPPY to see people rediscovering their old music. I just love them so much, that I literally stoped listening to loop after their “disband”. Girls, they’re powerful during 3rd gen

[@federicomiron]

Fun fact! Yerin and Eunha are a couple in Navillera, though that song represents the start of the envy/problems in their friendship (amazing lore) 😅

[@darkwizard7543]

I wasn't expecting you guys to do a deep dive ASAP. Immediately had to end the other reaction video I was watching as soon as this appeared in my feed 😄. I also agree with the others that you should check out their dance practices and even their dance challenges in variety shows like Weekly Idol to really get the full grasp of their dancing skills. Their synchronization is most impressive. Btw, if you're also planning on checking out their 'A Tale of the Glass Bead' videos, I suggest you watch them as intros to the MVs for Crossroads and Apple, so the order would be ATOTGB: Previous Story > Crossroads > ATOTGB: Butterfly Effect > Apple. Of course, it's still up to both of you how you'd want to watch them, but I think the lore would just make more sense and would be easier to understand if you watch them in the correct order. Looking forward to your next GFRIEND reactions!

[@brianlopez7455]

I’m so excited for you!! I wish I could relive discovering Gfriend. I’m so invested in this deep dive, I can’t wait for another episode!!

[@pikachusenpai2585]

Rough title in korean is “run through time” that’s why it has so many clock and time choreos.. truly the best 2016 masterpiece

[@bellachachaaa907]

gfriend known as a syncronize group for girl group,they have many sharp choreo ,and all mv have a storyline about friendship.

[@RaellyU]

i have a lot of favorite songs from them. Including Rough n Navillera. I also like Time for the Moon Night and Sunrise.

[@lia-niu]

You really need to react to their dance practices. Other dance based clips to see their talent: -2x play dance -Me gustas tu (slippery stage) -blindfolded "Mago" dance These 3 clips really show you their talent and professionalism as being an idol from a small company. Especially seeing the slippery stage one made me think "they really DESERVE being where they are"

[@hatsuneyu_]

FIRST OMG I LOVE YOU FOR THIS

[@djrommybalibalita5747]

😂 you guys are spot on ❤ core Kpop!! Gfriend literally equals emotions☺️❤️💯💯 thank u soo much for doing this deep dive .. I’m excited for part 2 !!!!!!!
