Some fun facts related to me gustas tu: - it was gfriend's 1st comeback and if the song didn't perform well, they would've been disbanded - me gustas tu became the first ever idol group song to surpass 100m streams in south korea - the song also become the longest charting idol group song on Melon chart after surpassing BIG BANG's record - the song became a national anthem and was broadcasted by the government across the border between North and South Korea using walls of loudspeakers to reduce the tension between the two countries and extends an invitation to the North to become closer, or to work toward peace together

Yeah, listening to Gfriend's "Me Gustas Tu" reminds us about the youthful days when the world is filled with wonder and excitement waiting for our pending exploration. Gfriend has amazing vocal and impressive choreo with a sound featuring orchestra instruments, particularly the strings. How I miss Gfriend, both their music and personalities in those bygone days. "Me Gustas Tu" was Gfriend's first comeback. And the girls sure grew up a lot when "Mago" came around. Sadly they left with such a banger. Gfriend's interrupted journey is a tragedy. Yet it is what brought us Viviz as other three girls continue their career solo. Thanks for the reaction.

Thankyou for the reaction! You might wanna try 'Rough' and 'Time for the moon night' next, these two songs represents gfriend's signature sound known as 'Orchestral-pop' with passionate melancholy vibes.

You will find watching a guide to them really helpful in getting to know more about them. The best two guides by far are a subpar guide to GFriend and a Guide to GFriend 2020. They give a lot of information but are still very entertaining and you will get to see a lot more about the VIVIZ members who make up half of GFriend. You did well with guessing their positions during Mago as Yuju, SinB and Umji were all spot on at your first attempt. Main vocal (one of the best vocalists of the 3rd generation), main dancer (actually the person who helped launch Artist of the Month on Studio Choom as she was chosen to be the first to have that honour) and maknae respectively. Eunha is the oldest in VIVIZ but behaves like a fake maknae as she is just naturally cute without ever trying. Umji is very sensible and mature despite being always the youngest.

Mago is a wizard in Spanish, and is also a goddess in Korean epic - the patroness of women. 22:06 6960 is the NGC 6960 nebula, which has its own name - the Witch's Broom. 24:53 these movements of the hands above the head are the casting of a spell (magical gestures). 23:15 - There was no visual or center position in GFriend. They are all visuals and centers at the same time. They are also all vocalists and dancers. They were called the Queens of Synchronization because they moved as one person (as one whole). No other group came close to them in this component. In order of seniority: Sowon 16:53 - leader (tallest, 173 cm) Yerin 17:24 - lead dancer (strongest, 167 cm) Eunha 17:07 18:42 (wig) - lead vocal (smallest, 163 cm) Yuju 18:27 - main vocal (multi-talented, 170 cm) SinB 19:14 - main dancer (savage, 167 cm) Umji 18:59 - maknae (cute, 165 cm) 18:38 from right to left: SinB, Yerin, Umji, Sowon, Yuju, Eunha GFriend - didn't disband, they just left a bad agency. They are all still together. You can find videos on KZbin where they all dance Maniac together, for example (including at the first concert of the VIVIZ tour) or other comebacks of other participants.

Their company terminated their contracts 6 months early and lied to the media saying that they had expired and GFriend left by mutual agreement. Fans were only given 4 days notice of the disbandment and GFriend were not allowed to speak to the media or fans afterwards about the breakup due to non disclosure agreements they were forced to sign. The music video for their comeback had already been filmed and the next album about to be launched. It was so sudden and abrupt everyone who knew about them was shocked. The company then tried to copyright their name in over 70 copyright clauses which prevented them from continuing as GFriend in another company. They failed in their bid but reapplied a few months later so determined were they to eradicate GFriend from Kpop. But they failed again so GFriend could reform in the future and every member says they want to do this. That is why we have VIVIZ now as the other 3 members had already signed up with different companies leaving just the 3 VIVIZ members without a company. So they decided to join a brand new company set up just a few weeks earlier to make a fresh start. The NDA must now have expired as members have now started to talk about how cruel their disbandment was and how they refuse to accept that definition saying that they will return as they are all close friends still. They are having a hiatus only and are NOT disbanded as Sowon has repeatedly said publicly on chat shows. The reason why the company acted as it did has remained a mystery and even now the GFriend members feel unable to tell us why, probably because they risk getting sued for defamation by Hybe and Source Music which both companies are very fond of doing as can be seen by the latest scandal involving them. But the most likely reason in my opinion is that they were finding it hard financially to prepare and train the new girl group Lesserafim during Covid when their income collapsed without any GFriend performancs at festivals and concert tours for two years and they relied heavily on loans from Hybe to continue. So they got rid of GFriend as being too old despite Mago being so successful globally with 90 million views which is way more than most other girl groups get who continue with their careers supported by their companies. But for the very abrupt ending to have taken place, something significant happened behind the scenes that I doubt we will ever know about. There has been zero interaction between GFriend members and the group that replaced them since the breakup which suggests that there is still bad feelings by GFriend towards them seeing as they are very supportive of New Jeans by contrast, with SinB in particular always recommending their songs as ones she likes and others like Yuju and Umji singing covers of their songs. The mystery will remain forever I suspect of what really happened.

Ahh gfriend.. this group has been inactive for almost 4 years and they are still in the top 4 female groups with the most music show wins (71 wins). Gfriend comes from a small unknown company but they were able to compete with other girl groups from big companies and also be able to enter the top 5 of the 3rd gen girl groups known as TREBELMAYEO (twice, red velvet, blackpink, mamamoo, yeojachingu/gfriend)
