Reacting to GFriend for the 1st time! "Apple, Crossroads & Fever" reaction!

[@carmelicordero790]

I think the person you are talking about is Yuju. She is the main vocalist of G-Friend :))

[@tachan2599]

I think you like songs that are more upbeat and more of a Western style music, then GFRIEND title tracks will not fit your preference, as they are more on the orchestral pop and nostalgic concept. So, I recommend you check their B-sides track. That's something you'll definitely love because it varies from their usual style but still keeping their signature sound. I highly recommend, L.U.V., Crème Brûlée, Neverland, and Labyrinth. For title tracks, I think you would like Fingertip and Navillera. But honestly, SUNRISE is a bop. Hope you can react to it too, although it's an orchestral pop but you will definitely be impressed with their vocals.

[@a_g8095]

Yes, and gfriend is in the road to a change of style in their music, the music of GFRIEND is recognized because gfriend had a line of grow, and it's going parallel with gfriend members grow like artist and person.

[@niam4768]

Sunrise = Highnote Attack

[@pietacorona]

And Gfriend always in line with their story for music, lyric, mv, and dance, even sometimes for their jackets album etc..

[@_previously]

I’m not claiming to know a lot about Gfriend bc I don’t but, Gfriend is one of those groups that has rich lore behind their Mvs and concepts. They are watched in a specific order and tbh, the story is super hard to follow unless you dig and research on your own. The style of their music used to be very bubble-gum pop, something I personally am not a fan of but, I have recently got into them more as the style of their music has matured. I also love the Jpop/anime OST flare their music has. They are under Source Music which has recently become a subsidiary under Big Hit. I think I heard that Bang Shi Hyuk, CEO and producer of Big Hit, worked on Apple and the album with them which is why their music sounds a bit different from their earlier releases. Still amazing though. I’m glad you’re checking out so many groups!

[@Sebastian-js7js]

Yuju is one of the best vocalist, if not the best!...

[@Siaxo]

I would argue that Solji from exid is in the top if not the best. They are not active anymore so dno if she count for whatever ranking it was but I feel like she tends to be forgotten in these things and she have even won king of masked singer twice. Also melody days main vocal is quite good but again disbanded group so dno if it counts but she has also managed to win king of masked singer. Not saying Yuju is not in the top but dno if she is the best. Hmm maybe we should have Austin do his own ranking :D

[@ambernyx3433]

I half agree with you on that one, I consider her one of the best in 3rd gen idols. If we're talking about the industry I would put SNSD's Taeyeon, Apink's Eunji, and EXID's Solji above her

[@Sebastian-js7js]

Everyone is free to think what they want, I only say it for my preferences, I like Yuju's voice especially the one from before since it is well known that his voice changed, my favorite groups are always the ones that have incredible main vocalists, for Therefore I like exid, mamamoo, red velvet, etc and I know the voices of each main vocalist well, and well I feel that for me yuju has the best voice since if you look in the groups, solji's voice becomes common, there are many main vocalist who have a similar voice but still is incredible☺️☺️

Whoooaaa. You finally reacted to GFriend. You have taste. HAHA! I'm gonna enjoy this. PS. Gfriend's label, Source Music was acquired by BigHit last year. but before that, the two labels have always been close since the CEOs of both labels are friends and some gfriend members were former bighit trainees.

[@yourkpopvocalanalyst]

Yuju GFRIEND's main vocalist. Yuju's voice so powerfull and beautiful (Yuju's vocal 4 octaves)

[@thaisyamamoto6032]

If you want to hear more their vocals I recomend Sunrise, Rough, Me Gustas Tu, Time For The Moon Light and their Japanese song Fallin' Light. One group that I really recomend is Berry Good, they are an underrated group (unfortunatelly). There are 5 members: Johyun (main rapper, lead dancer, vocalist and visual), Seoyul (main dancer and lead vocalist), Daye (lead vocalist rapper), Sehyung (lead rapper) and Gowoon (main vocalist and maknae). They debuted in 2014 with 5 members (Subin, Yira, Nayeon, Taeha and Gowoon) with the song Love Letter, but in 2015 Subin, Yira and Nayeon left the group, so Seoyul, Daye and Sehyung entered. In 2016 they putted another member (Johyun), so Berry Good became 6 members. Last year Taeha left. Songs that I recomend: Angel - Shows a lot their vocals (without Johyun, before her entrance in group) Don't Believe (with Johyun) Green Apple (with Johyun)

[@Lynnxxe]

The old style of Gfriend is the "brighter version" of Dreamcatcher! They also had this j-rock kinda sound in their bridges, but definitely more pop, cute and innocent vibes

[@devilix123987]

"This kinda sounds like Dreamcatcher with all the rock taken out" This is exactly what many other people think! That Dreamcatcher and Gfriend are like sister groups from a different parent, both taking a very similar style. They're both Queens of concept, telling a story in a very supernatural context, as well as specializing in choreo, whilst also boasting some particularly notable vocals - some of the best in the industry in fact, when we look at their main vocals. The groups are like the opposite ends of the same style, two different endings to the same story. :)

[@aaronclariz6452]

[@bingsuyah]

Yes, in fact Dreamcatcher are known as Dark Gfriend in South Korea

[@mg137b]

But sad they are not popular as Gfriend in korea i think korea didn't know them much

[@autumneagle]

@@mg137b I think it's just because of genre. Alt rock and J Rock as genres have never had the same size of popularity, but they do have cult followings of incredibly passionate fans. Unlike some of the more 'popular' music genres where the fans sort of come and go on a whim and if you make a slight misstep or change your sound a bit you lose half your fanbase. Dreamcatcher can do (and had done) just about any style of sound now and their fans will stick with them. Not the largest group of followers but certainly dedicated

[@znalbrionez1118]

I feel like you'd enjoy reacting to their songs Rough, Love Whisper, and Navillera!! Great reaction as always!! (BTW, their company is/was Source Music, which was acquired recently by BigHit)

[@znalbrionez1118]

Also, about their concepts, their first few years, they've been known to maintain the "Powerful innocence" concept, and it really shows in their earlier title tracks~

[@mainlineyura516]

Fun fact: my top 3 GG are: Gfriend, Dreamcatcher and Mamamoo :)

[@TheGroovyJones]

Eunha is the one with short hair you keep liking. Me too. GFriend is known for their precision group choreography, even inventing a 2x speed dance challenge that became a big thing on a particular idol show. They're known as Beagle-dols because they're always so loud, random, and hard to control second only to.... Mamamoo. Here's a clip of Gfriend and Mamamoo together that is either fun or devastating for a vocal coach. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2TWeYp9pMpggpY And proof of how shy Mamamoo are. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2TWeYp9pMpggpY

[@zenon351]

Okay. I just finished watching your reaction. Loved it btw. I think it was fair. Just sharing some thoughts on this, Apple is their latest comeback and is the biggest deviation from the sound they were known for. It was also very divisive with the fan base and that shows with how the song charted and how it did with the music shows. I, personally, really like it though. It felt like the natural progression with their sound as they matured as a group. They have been at it for 5 years now. Crossroads was also criticised by the fans. It was a good song, but it didn't capture the same magic as the earlier songs they had with the same concept. Crossroads as a song and MV was meant to put the story from Time from the moonight to an end. And in that context I thought it was okay. The B-Side labirynth, released alongside crossroads, was what I felt should've been the real title track but crossroads just felt a better end to the story. Fever was a really good summer song. But GFriend usually puts out summer songs without a relation to their other songs. They take it as an opportunity to expand and experiment with their sound and Fever was just perfect. But what GFriend is most known for, and what really blew up their popularity and rankings was their song rough. Rough at this point is just legendary as a kpop song. So, I would suggest that you check out their earlier songs if you want. Most notably Rough and Navillera. Those 2 songs got released one after another and cemented GFriend as a group to be watched and to be excited about. Especially coming from a label not the Big Three. Gfriend is also known for their choreography. Like before all of these amazing dancing groups, GFriend was probably the first Girl group to emphasize their dance and that Girl groups can have complex and execution sensitive choreographies. With all the different formations and especially synchronization. Okay I wasn't expecting to write this much. But I really like GFriend. Them and Dreamcatcher are my ultimate groups.

[@Superion74]

I would recommend GFriend's Rough, Me Gustas Tu, and Time for the Moon Night for your future reaction.

[@cdap2878]

The vocal line in GFRIEND: • YUJU - Main Vocal • EUNHA - Lead Vocal • SINB - Used to be Lead Vocal too *before Eunha*(Main Dancer) • YERIN - Vocalist (Lead Dancer) • SOWON - Vocalist (Main Rapper, LEADER) • UMJI - Vocalist (Lead Rapper, MAKNAE) So actually they all can sing very well, and so talented!

[@davidfrischknecht8261]

They're still under Source Music. A year or so ago Big Hit bought Source Music but they're still running it as an independent company. It's the same thing with Pledis. Also, you really need to check out "Time for the Moon Night" and "Sunrise". Those are my two favorite GFriend songs. I actually prefer "Crossroads" to "Apple". I love the soaring strings in their music. I had enjoyed all of their output until they released "Labyrinth" and "Apple". In my opinion, those songs aren't GFriend's style.

[@coolgirl312]

So they're not actually under Big Hit Entertainment themselves, their company merged with Big Hit last year so its now a subsidiary of Big Hit but they're still under Source Music and considered Source Music artists. The 3 songs you checked out from them are probably 3 of their most experimental from the sound they're known for. For "Apple" they wanted to do a completely different sound and concept, for "Fever" it was pretty much a summer song that doesn't connect to their other music or MVs, and for "CrossRoads" the music is similar to some of their other releases but they took like a cinamatic approach to filming the MV, it tells a story and essentially ties to almost every title track they've come out with since debut (notice there was not singing or choreography in the MV). Gfriend isn't very known internationally but they are really popular in Korea. They came from a small unknown company, Source Music and managed to make it to the top of the industry and are standing alongside girl groups from the biggest companies like Twice, Red Velvet, and Blackpink. Its funny how you connected them to DreamCatcher because in a way, for the longest time, they were like the opposite of DreamCatcher but on the same parallel plane. Both groups are known for their unique music which features heavy instrumentals and their powerful choreography. Gfriend was like the "Bright and Pure" to DreamCatcher's "Dark and Possessed". But Gfriend did start playing around with other concepts in the past year or so. Seriously I can go on all day about Gfriend. I know their older stuff may not be your taste but I think you should check out some of their older stuff when you have a chance becuase its really good. "Rough" "Love Whisper" "Sunrise"

[@Nelybeans]

Ugh I knew there was a reason I clicked subscribe... finally some Fever and Eunha appreciation. The amount of people who don’t like Fever and who overlook Eunha is astounding. 😭

[@originaldaikon536]

I love Gfriend! thank you for reacting to them!! Imo some of their best songs are ignored because they sing them in japanese, like falling light, memoria and la pam pam. one of their distinct factors is that they almost always use strings in the music composition and have this melacholy behind them. Thank you for being honest and not force yourself to say something good if you're not feeling them. looking forward to yout next reaction!!

[@hao9631]

Yes #1 vocal in kpop is Yuju Gfriend. Want a vocal challenging song? Check out her OST for drama. Secret. You'll be blown away And you seem to like catchy songs with great vocals, try their bsides cause most their title tracks are following the storyline. Some bside songs are better than title tracks but title tracks are there for the concept. Though, their bside songs actually compliments the whole album concept, as if it tells a story of the same timeline but in different genre WHICH IS AMAZING. Also since you like Eunha voice, you will definitely love Sunrise! To be honest, im a hardcore buddy and Crossroad gave me alot of confusing feels. After listening to it for few times plus understanding the lyrics, it seems like they made they song for listeners to feel confused and don't know what to feel. That's what the emotion of the song try to deliver at first place. As if you're standing at crossroad. Don't know where to go, don't know whether you like it or hate it, sometimes you might make pre-assumptions of whether some path is good or bad before even going through it. And, it's such a masterpiece after you understands the song.

[@KimmySandy]

They should have suggested Sunrise instead of Crossroads! I love GFriend and I do like Crossroads, I just feel that it's not really a song that you love at first. It takes playing it a few times and definitely watching them perform it live (I know you can't post those videos, but you should watch them by yourself). As some other comments say, you should definitely check some of their older stuff. I must say that their style back then was a bit too cutesy for my liking, but after I became a fan of theirs with Time for the moon night, I started to appreciate the cuter songs (especially Navillera) and there you can hear Yuju's voice better!

[@xheralt]

For a new viewer, it would showcase their older _sound,_ even if the visuals aren't quite as good as their older videos. I only follow Gfriend tangentially, when they intersect with other groups (like Mamamoo) or have a member in a collab (SM STATION "Wow Thing").

[@KimmySandy]

@@xheralt I actually started to listen to them because of Mamamoo hahaha

[@yveria3291]

It's not the lesbian thing going on, in the first song " apple " the girls kissed the apple xd and the lyrics were talking about temptation and stuff. How they're being tempted by the apples but they didn't give into the darkness, they burned the apple tree. And they became the apple/sirens themselves. Gfriend latest album is called " song of the sirens " so you might've noticed there was a part in the lyrics that goes ' wee wow wow wow ' it's like a sirens sound trying to lure sailors in the sea. (That's one theory 😂) Crossroads definitely had gfriend's signature sound which has like a lot of instrumental/orchestra sounds. One of the members said that crossroads is a song that grows on you more over time like when you try new food, it looks a bit weird at first but you keep on eating it and later realize it's actually not that bad and you like it xd. The mv is also describing their storylines so if you're a new listener, it might be a little hard to grasp what's really happening. (Which you don't have to, you can just chill and enjoy the songs xd) Fever, a classics gfriend summer song, we love to see it. Nothing to say much except it's a very refreshing type of song? Also a bop, ofc 😂 Gfriend has two signature sounds (one being the instrumental, orchestra type of sound and another being anime-ish ost type of sounds) since you listen to dreamcatcher, you might like their side tracks a bit more than the title tracks. Gfriend is very versatile with their music and they make a lot of options, varieties for you to choose from so hopefully you'll find something you like in the near future. Thanks for checking the girls out. I appreciate it ❤

[@bochitheshroom]

Ever since Gfriend debuted, Yuju has been known as one of the top 3 vocalists of the third generation girl groups but recently solidified her place as number 1. She even explained that since their dancing practices were so rigorous when they were trainees and she wasn't that good of a dancer back then (she's amazing now), she can't hit as high of notes as she used to. I don't know if she still does this but to maintain her voice she only eats bread once a month, always speaks quietly, makes sure not to speak too much starting the night before if they have to sing, and one time, it got too cold in the room so she tried to turn off the air conditioning for her throat and ended up... No one really knows how... With a broken arm. Girl works for her vocals and it slays!

Finally!! I Love Gfriend! You should check out Sunrise, Rough and Time for the moon night. And even Labyrinth if you want some dance music. Although their vocals are quite good, they are also known for their complex choreographies.

[@theartmanable]

Here's my take on GFriend's style of singing. The earlier songs were for showcasing what they can do (singing, dancing, etc), from their debut song Glass Bead to Sunrise in 2019 with almost consistent song vibe with their signature synth and strings, like orchestral type music. After that period, GFriend was actually experimenting on the genres. Fever and Apple are some of them. So yeah, the one you're watching indeed don't have that much challenging singing techniques because it's already past the period. Also, most of GFriend songs aren't EDM based, so maybe you won't like those either. But hey, thanks for checking them out! I'm really hoping I was wrong and that you finally like their song!

[@Drakis07]

YAY, finally you react to my first favorite group GFRIEND.

[@may-h6o]

There was a rumour that Yuju had a throat injury as she once disappeared a month suddenly with no reason(after Time for the moon night comeback). After she came back she lose a lot of weight and have a difficulty of hitting hight notes. If you compare the old and new Gfirind songs and live you can hear the difference between Yuju ‘s voice. Actually she has been the main vocal for years and she needs to sing a lot of parts including powerful high notes mostly every song. So I think it is possible and hope Yuju can take enough rest.

[@shooterforumji4891]

I mean Time for the Moon Night has one hell of a high note. And they performed that song constantly in 2018, so it probably had a big effect on her voice. Also probably why Eunha took most of the big high notes in 2019

[@serene2526]

She was sick and having cold especially during sunrise And i think she’s just improve her technique and know how to handle her vocal cord more than before I mean the way she sing now is different from before

[@chelseaoduro4929]

I suggest you check out more of their songs they're really great and I think you're gonna like them more. I'd suggest Summer Rain, Navillera, and Love Whisper. GFRIEND definitely changed their sound since TimeForTheMoonNight. Before they had THE GFriend sound and they were known for it so changing concepts like this was risky but it was well received. I think you'd like the old GFriend sound better but I think this new concept fits them better as they've grown older and matured more. their B-Sides with this new concept are SO FRICKING GOOD. Omg that was a lot wow. the person you were speaking of was Yuju, their main vocalist. She's one of the most well rounded idols I've seen since I started listening to kpop(and it's been a while lmao)She def shone more with their previous sound cuz of her high notes in literally all their songs and that wasn't very healthy for her(belting all the time like that) so with this new concept she's kinda more chill with the vocals but she STILL SOUNDS AMAZING IDEK HOW LIKE CAN I BE THAT TALENTED PLS??? I'll stop talking now lolll

[@chelseaoduro4929]

The girl you liked is Eunha. She's a lead vocalist and her voice is very sweet and soothing. She's shining more with this new concept because she's become like-for lack of better words- the new "high note hitter" so Yuju can rest her voice.Her voice became very shaky with high notes and she started cracking more so I feel she needs this "belting break" She's been belting since 2015(till about late 2018) A LOT since they're popular in SK and they're always booked and performing so ofc her voice is gonna get shot even with her good technique.

[@cassiaferreira3205]

When it comes to female vocalists in kpop some of the people who are generally recognized for being among the best are Mamamoo as a whole, GFRIEND's Yuju, Red Velvet's Wendy, APINK's Eunji, SNSD's Taeyeon, EXID's Solji. If you end up becoming a fan of GFRIEND, they have a shared reality show with Mamamoo that is pretty fun (although a bit old now) even though the 2 groups dont get to interact that much.

[@xheralt]

More like sleeping beauty. Another thing to remember about apples in KPOP videos, the Korean word for apple sounds very similar to a word for forgiveness, therefore an apple is often used as a visual shorthand for that (or lack thereof, as in SNSD's "You Think").

[@FrancoAlcudia]

I'm not a "kpop fan" but recently I started listening to Gfriend music and I really like it, it's the only Kpop group that I like, there's something on their voices that catched me, and also the rythm and composition in general that I like so much, you know, I think that every song was so well produced.

[@richter4446]

Definitely Yuju, when you talked about it in the Apple MV, you paused right at her face :) Would recommend checking out their earlier stuff too like Sunrise, Rough, Time For The Moon Night. The group are more known for their melancholy orchestral sound than Apple's sound.Though you'll probably like their track, Fingertip because it's also very funky

[@TTRRIIKKEE]

Gfriend belongs to the group that i really love because i am really fascinated to their talent and attitudes. Their singing and also their on point and sync dance moves it blows me away. Edit:Can you react to other groups outside Korea(especially SB19 the first Boygroup in Philippines that is under a Korean Management)

[@mariyabanesa7006]

im so happy that you reacted to gfriend. they are so talented 😁thank you for reacting to gfriend they are my 2nd girl group fave besides mamamoo

[@MXSmoothie]

Please react to BVNDIT! They’re a rookie group that debuted last year and they’re pretty underrated. Their debut song was ‘Hocus Pocus’ and their latest song was ‘Jungle.’ My favorite title track by them is definitely ‘Dumb.’ They also have MVs for some for some of their bsides.

[@hannahespino6832]

They have a storyline, their music videos, songs, and albums are connected to each other (except for their summer songs like Sunny Summer and Fever), it’s like a series that you have to watch episode by episode for you to be able to understand what’s going on in most of their videos. 😄 So it’s really hard to understand for a first time viewer especially if you do it backwards like the way you did, with Apple being their most recent comeback which you watched first, and then crossroads. So I totally understand your confusion with the first two videos. 😅 But if you wanna understand what’s going on, you’ve got to watch from their debut song Glass Bead all the way up to Apple. And if you want something that’s vocally capturing you should listen to their ballads From Me, and “Here We Are”. I once watched a vocal coach who reacted to it and she liked those two best out of all the other songs of GFriend that she reacted to. And thanks for reacting to GFriend. ❤️

[@manst509]

Thank yoh for reacting to gfriend. It's so nice to hear new perspective. If you want to hear them vocally more punching (lol) you should react to Sunrise, Time for the moon night, Glass bead, me gustas tu, rough, Navillera, love whisper even labyrinth. Tons of high note there.

[@colamanodoy4775]

If you want to hear more about their vocals, i will recommend you three more. 1. Rough 2. Time for the moon night 3. Sunrise Note: but you need to bear with their storyline, cz that one of their trendmark. I really appreciate your reaction too ^^

[@natusvero]

for me personally, i like the older gfirend's songs. as fellow insomnia, i recommend you to listen to: fingertip, glass bead, love wshisper, me gusta tu, rough, summer rain

[@meaniegf2509]

you should react to sunrise, time for the moon night and me gustas tu, that songs specially (cuz all they're songs got hidh notes) are so damn cool with precious vocals, yo wil love it ;D

[@dennysalex1824]

Search for Yuju (stan talent) covering "speechless" and Yuju's "Love Rain" with Suran (who I recommend you to check after hearing this song, unique voice, talent and great music), as well as Eunha (the one you said you loved her voice) "Dont come with bye", perfect vocals. I love some GFriend, I think they're the most unique and versatile group, and they're so selfmade and honest, I love them xD. Nice to see you reacting to them :3

[@LenKagaminecv02]

In the parts you said "they have a vocalist" in apple they actually 3 members doing the same high G5 note Yuju: Main vocalist Eunha: Lead vocalist Umji: Sub vocalist. These 3 where in charge of the highest notes in the song :)

[@francinev3971]

Gfriend's strong suit is telling a story through their vocals. I think the way they sing each song they release is very effective in the narrative they want to relay. If you want a vocally outstanding song from gfriend, they have TFTMN, and Sunrise. The narratives of those songs are mostly meant to share the inner turmoil someone who is sad have. It's also crazy how TFTMN is much more upbeat than Crossroads yet shares the same feeling. I think Crossroads is more targeted towards people who lean on emotions more than catchiness of tune since I'm the type who like those songs more. If you want really catchy songs, try Labyrinth (it's a b-side but it's worth it), MAGO, and Fingertip (it's such a funky comeback).

[@exessen1684]

I don't think too many people will recommend it since its a Japanese release but since you liked Eunha you should check out "Fallin' Light" she shines in that (Its also considered one of their best songs)

[@Malboro-qg9do]

I cry i cry i cry, i love your channel.

[@shinb7558]

GFRIEND vocals always amazed me. so yeah.

[@e.6370]

Crossroads is my favorite song of all time. The lyrics are so beautiful to be honest and it's the song that got me to actually stan gfriend more.

[@atthepartycheers]

Buddy of almost five years here! The songs you reacted to here include two of their most divisive titles 😂 A lot of people didn’t care for Crossroads (it’s my favorite title because I love the longing in the lyrics, haha), and the same goes for Fever. Apple is a big favorite, though! I suggest their first three titles: Glass Bead, Me Gustas Tu, and Rough as it’s their school trilogy and is what rocketed them to stardom by pure chance. Navillera and Summer Rain are two that I would suggest as well (Navillera is a major favorite of Buddies, usually!)

[@dannychan7596]

They are Queen of Vocal and Choreography

[@BlackHoleSpain]

GFRIEND (yocha-chingu) was always a very girly-cheesy-naive group for years since their debut in 2015, that suddenly made a turnaround and became more mature a few months ago with "Fever". You have seen the remnants of that side in "Crossroads" and noticed you were confused, so you might or might not like their previous works, as they are completely different and too childish. Kpop music can be very seasonal, and you find happy songs in summer and emotional ones in winter... check the month of release!

[@johan3123]

Gfriend was more pure and innocent that childish, it is not the same

[@hazeltheppawong6054]

If you want vocal challenging songs from gfriend, try sunrise and some of their bside tracks. btw their live vocals are also great and amazing specially yuju

[@czariellellanes5902]

TMI: The tree they burned was planted by their CEO 4 years ago after they got their first win.

[@Yoyoinandout]

Mamamoo and gfriend are good friends and they did a show together also and was on a variety show called weekly idol together which was Hilarious

[@jksoneph2378]

I recommend to start from debut. I am confident that you will not regret it. They actually started from unknown company. They strived hard, did their very best and they are professional, thats the reason i loved them next to SNSD.

[@thesquishymochi1681]

Omg Sir Austin you’re actually catching onto all of my favorite groups lol (my top 3 are Mamamoo, Dreamcatcher, Gfriend 😀) I kind of find it funny that you started out with Apple (although it’s understandable since it’s their latest release). Apple was a HUGE transformation from their usual style (which is more Crossroads-like), and that ended up being your first impression of them 😂 I would say that Gfriend’s music has three phases: the powerful innocent stage, the sentimental stage, and their mature stage. I wouldn’t say they’re a group of many concepts, they actually have a very distinct sound (and get dissed by haters for having songs that “sound exactly the same” unfortunately). If you want something from their powerful innocent stage, check out their school trilogy: Glass Bead, Me Gustas Tu, and Rough (arguably their most iconic song that got a whopping 15 wins) If you want to check out their sentimental music, there’s Time for the Moon Night, Sunrise (my personal top 2, the vocals are 🔥), Summer Rain. Crossroads falls in this category too. Although you may have not liked Crossroads, please do give the songs above a chance. Crossroads is also one of my lesser favorite songs, but I LOVE the other three, so hopefully you will too :) You already checked out their mature music: Fever and Apple. The girl whose voice you really like is Eunha, the lead vocalist. She’s been handling more of the high notes recently to give Yuju (the belter as you said), the main vocalist, a rest. If you want a taste of Yuju showcasing her vocals, Gfriend’s early discography is FULL of them. You should also check out Yuju’s predebut clips because she slays. Lastly, you ask if their videos are usually that high production. They’ve actually come super far, and their debut mv was filmed in a high school gym because their company had no budget. The CEO even sold his house to give Gfriend a chance, and fortunately they made it big 😀 I hope this helped :) Anyways, it’s totally fine if you only like some of their songs. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I actually feel the same way about some of the other groups I stan.

[@zeeea_]

Please reaction gfriend more, Especially the sunrise and time for the moon night 😊
