Reacting to more classic songs from GFRIEND "Navillera, Fingertip, Love Whisper & Summer Rain" MVs!

[@jag0603]

Fact: Eunha and Sinb both real names is Eunbis so most of their lore is quite connected with each other being soulmates.

[@wingsofficial7197]

They are also ♊️

[@nicolem3951]

And friends since childhood

[@coolgirl312]

I love that they each kept a part of Eunbi with "Eun"ha and Sin"B"

[@somebuddy.]

And their birthdays are only 3 days apart

[@shawingarts3612]

Fun fact: Sinb cleaning 14 trophies in Navillera MV was such a foreshadowing of how much music show wins they got with Navillera

[@caesarmikail4410]

GFriend is currently the girl group with the most music show trophies earned in one year, winning 29 total times throughout 2016. ( Rough = 15 and navillera = 14 win.)

[@peterhugo2078]

Butterflies are everywhere in GFriend videos, as Eunha has the power of time travel which she gained from the magic lake where they danced in Love Whisper. She tries to use them to reset the past where members fell out and attacked each other but it always seemed to go wrong and things only got worse. Because butterflies are so important to the lore of GFriend, Yuju has butterflies 🦋 on her guitar in one of her solo videos and plastered all over her microphone stand and car in another music video. VIVIZ have an even closer connection seeing as Eunha is part of the group so it was no surprise that they called their fandom Na.V. This represents Nabi (butterfly in Korean) I.e. their fans, next to V for VIVIZ, showing their close connection which is so real I actual life.

[@artchie4491]

Gfriend and Dreamcatcher has always been paired together they're like light and dark of kpop.

[@vj_fantasy4298]

Even bother of them had same originating concept as a sorcerer or witch to be more exact

[@88vicky88]

Both Yuju and Yerin always have bangs. A quick way to distinguish between them is that Yuju has very high cheekbones, while Yerin has rounder cheeks.

[@coolgirl312]

The thing with "Fingertip" was, I remember when it first came out, it wasn't that well received by fans because it was darker and different than what Gfriend was known for. I think at the time the fans weren't ready to give up the bright youthful Gfriend. Plus they also didn't really perform Fingertip much after 2017 and in a way it seemed almost like a forgotten Gfriend song...Until they released "Crossroads" in 2020 which pulled a lot of references of "Fingertip" and suddenly people were talking about "Fingertip" again. Idk, its just at the time of release, Fingertip didn't seem to connect with any other title track but now 3 years later, the connection is drawn. I believe majority of the Gfriend lore stems from the events in "Fingertip". I'm not very good at explaining it, so hopefully someone else will lay it out better. Also for "Summer Rain" apparently the reason why Eunha is the only one standing in the rain and getting wet is because she was the first to do that shot but then they realized it would take took long to have everyone get drenched then dried to do other shots, so only Eunha did it. As for Gfriend vs Dreamcather, yes they are like different sides of the same coin or like the AU versions of each other. They're both groups with music that has these heavy instrumentals but different concepts. If Dreamcather is the Dark, Gfriend is the light

[@703elee]

and yes, it's Yuju that has the voice.....the only proof that you need is when GFRIEND, Twice, Red Velvet, and I.O.I did the special cover of SNSD "into the New World" for the 2017 KBS Song festival it was her that had all the belting parts over Wendy or Yeonjung (who was in I.O.I but now is a part of WJSN). And yes....there were like 27 girls on stage all dancing tom Into the New World

[@nijamsaiders9682]

Sowon - the leader,sub vocal Yerin - lead dancer,fotg Eunha - lead vocal Yuju - main vocal Sinb - main dancer,fotg Umji - maknae(youngest), sub vocal

[@0805gg]

Never apologize for having long videos- we love your opinions!! Can’t wait for the next GFRIEND reaction 💜🤍💙

[@kd4474]

i’m sure you’ll enjoy watching their dance practices!! i still watch them from time to time. their choreos are so satisfying to watch and they do it so perfectly. they were not only known for their synchronization but they also popularized 2x speed dance among idols when they did it in weekly idol and it went viral bc they were so good at it.

[@fffe93]

They were literally the first idols to do 2x speed dance

[@703elee]

so these group of songs are the classic GFRIEND sound.....bright songs with incredibly complex jazz chord structures (for example....using the raised vi chord hence the presence of a LOT of anime sounding passages), really interesting/unexpected key changes, that constant fast running beat, midi string counterpoints underneath, screaching guitar solos.....its literally the GFRIEND sound. It's funny watching people who got introduced to GFRIEND through Mago and then go back. Mago was such an outlier of a song of their main releases

[@bkaozzz]

You should definitely watch one of the live stages for Love Whisper, they bring the whole pond to the stage and dance on it, it's amazing! EDIT: It's the Show Champion EP 239 performance

[@babymetalic]

that was the performance that made me a buddy back in 2017❤️❤️❤️

[@vita88dolce]

​@@babymetalic omg me too!

[@mellodie8078]

the lore: they got superpowers and five of them actually dead eunha is the one alive and trying to save them by traveling past also she is using butterflies for traveling you will see similar scenes about their mvs when you watch crossroads mv. also, they can meet sometimes in eunha’s dreams but unfortunately we don’t know the full story thanks to source music for disbanding them for no reason (real. the reason is still unknown.) thank you for reacting and discovering them btw you got soo much stuff (beautiful choreos, bsides, superior Japanese songs etc.)

[@mimbo15116]

Also fun fact: love whisper and summer rain have the same chord progressions so that even if the vocals or the instruments of these two songs get swapped to one another, they'd still match. U can find a mashup of LW x SR here on yt and it sounds perfect.

[@videniv8623]

Love Whisper and Summer Rain are always being my fav songs of GF.

[@jag0603]

Aahhh thank you. I will be here waiting for every gfriend reaction.

[@AKATSUKIROBES]

Their entire lore is centered around friendship so I believe even if the lyrics are talking about love, it’s meant to be love between each other

[@kd4474]

for the live vocals, they performed a few times on “immortal songs” if you wanna check that out, i’d recommend their “love and remember” performance.

[@Gem4thEver]

Gfriend also has a flawless Japanese discography. If you like vocals harmonising and beautiful ad-lib, you can react to it after you finish their Korean title track reaction

[@marcossalazar8623]

when you start with their japanese discography you will love all their songs, bcs all of them are really anime intro songs, also you must watch their dance practices and live stages, all of them are amazing, you wiil love them even more, and maybe to know a little more about the girls you should watch a guide to Gfriend, Im waiting for more of your Gfriend reactions

[@xolovebianca]

It’s been a while since I listened to these songs and I got teary eyed and goosebumps. Get ready for the next title tracks! Besides Rough, Time for the Moonnight and Sunrise are my fave title tracks of Gfriend. 🤗🫶🏻

[@kd4474]

if you wanna know about their storyline, they released two videos when they were in hybe explaining their storyline(kind of 😅). One was before their crossroads comeback, it’s called “A tale of the glass bead: Previous Story”. the other one was before the apple comeback “A tale of the glass bead: butterfly effect”. they were probably going to continue with the storyline if they didn’t disband so it doesn’t really feel completed.

[@somebuddy.]

Butterflies, clocks, and a glass bead, those things appear in quite a few of their MVs (esp the butterflies) because it has something to do with their lore, so yeah you might see them often in gfriend mvs. Also it is very likely that Eunha is the main character of the storyline.

[@Drakis07]

Yeah, for Love Whisper they really made a REAL pool of water just for the girls to dance in it lol I don't remember which one but one of the Music show did a real pool of water too in the studio just for GFRIEND, but unlike the MV the girls kept the socks and shoes to dance in that pool. Wow, look at me commenting like crazy lol i just love those girls so much that i can't stop talking about them.

[@dizzymcdizz]

"Gfriend sounds like a cute bubbly version of Dreamcatcher " excuse me while I respectfully LOLOLOL in INSOMNIA. Have people just never heard of MINX? Dreamcatcher used to be a cute bubbly concept group until they fully rebranded into the group we know today. They were MINX at the same time gfriend was around.. MINX debuted in 2014, GFRIEND debuted 2015. MINX "disbanded" 2016 and rebranded ‐ adding 2 new members and redebuted as DREAMCATCHER in 2017! And it should be said I LOVE all 3 groups, gfriend, minx and dreamcatcher all have a place in my heart!

[@phearl_0309]

he heard us! thank you! more gfriend contents to come! let gfriend shine!

[@bellachachaaa907]

after the marathon ,i think you need to react to their dance practice too, they are known for their hard choreo and synchronize .and also they have a storyline .from the debut until mago.just a little spoiler, in love whisper , they got a superpower from the pond (where they dancing) and started jealous of each other and start fighting in fingertip.their storyline is about friendship

[@Walpurgo]

29:40 there will be an explanation in "A tale of the glass bead: previous story" the video came along with the Crossroad MV. So you should watch that video first before you watch the Crossroad MV, after that "A tale of the glass bead: butterfly effect" came along with Apple MV

[@shihfangj9710]

You should check all their mvs! I like your reactions!!!

[@caesarmikail4410]

The theory is, if you remember at the end of the Mago MV they all ran happily. because previously they had a fight/conflict as you can see now. In essence, the main character in Theory Gfriend is Eunha, she has full control over the time travel power of Butterflies.

[@pomzajr]

So glad you’re reacting to Gfriend! They’re my ult ult group, and navillera was my #1 song on Spotify wrapped this year- go figure! Enjoy the journey, it’s a wild ride.

[@code_seiker]

Im crying while watching this video, I miss my ot6 girls so bad but im happy that everyone is doing something these days💖 Gfriend music is really something special and unique, thank u so much for taking your time to watch their work

[@PwrPoints-w3j]

Gfriend MV is alway connection to each other

[@jjgalxyeun]

i cant wait to see your reaction to sunrise and time for the moon night their are like the top tier of gfriend title tracks

[@avionugrohoomar]

More gfriends songs please, like memoria, crossroads, time for the moon night, sunrise, three of cups, here we are ❤

[@mimbo15116]

Yup, the piano theme in summer rain was sampled from a classical piece called 'Dichterliebe op.48 no.1' by Robert Scumann. And you were right, that classical sample fits the song perfectly. Summer rain is in my top 3 gfriend title tracks.

[@adhrianpsalmzuniga7977]

Thanks for such a good reaction Sir Austin. I would love you to react and deep dive into their albums, like for realllll..they have the best discography in Kpop❤

[@Makiyavel]

Yaaaaaay! Loving to see you journey with Gfriend

[@nicolem3951]

To recognize the other members: Sowon is the really tall, mature one. Yuju is the one with most powerful and fuller vocals. And Yerin is the one with a doll like face and she smiles with her eyes. You get the 3 girls right in the beginning of Navillera. Yuju is the one you thought could be the main dancer, she is the main vocalist but also she is a golden member, she is one of the best dancers and good in all sports she does. Gfriends concept is actually that they are witches, like in Apple. Gfriend did had a similar sound until some point, the bsides are completely different also really good. But they change. The japanese songs are so good and have its own vibe too. I hope you also react to their japanese mvs: Memoria, Flower and Fallin Light. Theyre perfect. The order would be: Time for the moon night - Sunny summer - Memoria - Sunrise - Flower and than Fallin lights (the other mvs you have reacted)

[@nicolem3951]

I would also recommend you reacting to their special clip of Labyrinth. This song of them the fans wanted so much to be a title track that it became its own clip like Untie. Theyre completely powerful in this song

[@mikanlin]

I miss them so much and these reactions are giving! 🥹✨ Looking forward to the dance practices, too! Especially the x2 versions.

[@azariesw7547]

I really like the dance moves for Love Whisper.

[@anggadarmawan8588]

Next should be time for the moonnight, sunrise, fever, crossroad

[@jinyatta4103]

There are a lot of groups out there with 2 excellent vocalists. Red Velvet's Wendy and Seulgi, Cherry Bullet's Bora and Haeyoon, Dreamcatcher's Siyeon and Yoohyeon, but as far as a trio, I'll take Yuju, Eunha and Yerin over just about anyone. WJSN's Dawon, Yeonjung and Soobin are the only other trio I can think of in that category.

[@Drakis07]

Well, about GFRIEND and Dreamcatcher it's more the inverse. GFRIEND debuted in 2014 and Dreamcatcher debuted in 2017, GFRIEND was already very popular and already made a genre of their own with strings and electric guitar when Dreamcatcher debuted. With a more rock genre with electric guitar too, people started to compare both group and started saying that Dreamcatcher was like a dark version of GFRIEND, both had electric guitars, both had hardcore choreographies and both group had amazing vocalists. Dreamcatcher once said that they were honored to be compared to GFRIEND. That what made me discover Dreamcatcher, i was a huge fan of GFRIEND ( still am too since they are my ultimate group so by extension Viviz and all the other members solo projects) and was curious about a group who do rock and is like a dark version of GFRIEND. I like all kind and genre of music and i have a sweet spot for Rock and Hard-rock too. So i became a huge fan of Dreamcatcher because of GFRIEND lol. If you have some questions or confusions about GFRIEND just ask we Buddy are one of the most friendliest fandom in K-pop well like our girls are. Yeah, all GFRIEND members are close friends with lot of members of other girl groups even the big other groups like Red Velvet or Twice. By example Yerin is very close friend with Red Velvet Joy.

[@apollofeed]

OMO, i really like your reaction 😊 looking forward to your other GFRIEND reaction. the next title tracks you'll be listening to will be so good. The vocals and choreo's improved so much. Thank you for reacting to them❤❤❤

[@TunaKang]

I'm looking forward to your next GFRIEND content reaction,they are old but gold ! Thanks you for your reaction!

[@steffengoelitz]

NICE! I was planing to check out more of Gfriend. Glad to do it with you through your reactions.😉 I didn't know that they had such bangers like Fingertip. I expected all of thier songs sounds like the other 3. So far I liked all I heard from them. Can't wait for more. 👍

[@aespicysone]

There was a time I was obsessed with their title tracks their instrumentation reminds me of my childhood anime ost

[@juanpablojaimesb1453]

Thank u again for reacting to them. Loved the comparison with Dreamcatcher haha maybe that’s why they are both my favorite groups. I’m so glad you continued with this journey

[@yilim1040]

17:00 those giraffes are sowon's family, her dad, mom and big brother

[@peterhugo2078]

Haha. Even her members teased her saying they went to the zoo yesterday and were surprised to see Sowon there. When she queried this they said in the giraffe enclosure. Haha 😜

[@sachiikoamaya5009]

I think there were a few short storyline trailer before they released crossroads under hybe to summarize it. It was called "A tale of a glassbead" I think were under a couple of minutes each trailer. And I remembered that when you buy the crossroad to mago albums I think there is a small story book included to further explain what is their storyline. It's fun to watch the MVs again with gfriend songs. My all time fave is Rough and Time for the Moon Night. ❤️

[@somebuddy.]

Fun fact: the demo version of Fingertip was sung by Wheein when she was still a trainee (18 yo)

[@chelseaoduro4929]

they have a live stage for Love Whisper where they dance in water. I believe that was their comeback stage

[@mimbo15116]

Dunno if someone has mentioned this but fun fact: the song 'Navillera' got as many music show wins as the number of trophies in its MV (14) 9:21 here u can see there are 13 trophies on the floor and 1 is being cleaned by Sinb 😄

[@davekandey9651]

been waiting and excited for all the Gfriend marathon reaction 😁 there are some introduction to Gfriend videos out here in youtube that could help for learning each member (also their charm and individual skill), maybe that could be on the list too 😁

[@diosokim2927]

Time For The Moon Night, Sunrise next pls.

[@iruleharderthanyou12]

Austin's doing the MVs in order

[@yukuolee3562]

Gfriend's Buddies are giving you plenty of information but I'd just like to thank you for your deep dive with Gfriend's music.

[@bellachachaaa907]

you need to ready for time for the moon night,sunrise and crossroad 😂

[@Panorama-memory]

There are so many good ones, especially the uniquely overwhelming ones.

[@lisakayokay]

When you get to live performances, their performance of Rough on Yu Huiyeol’s sketchbook from 2016 >>>>>>>

[@cardilanaduataytaymelanie6696]

Lover whisper&Summer Rain is my 2017 favourite K-pop songs

[@jasminjoiebriones7736]

You can also react to their bside as well as their 2x dance and random dance challenge

[@bewnakarin3161]

Fun Fact : the last melody of Love Whisper's MV is the melody of Summer Rain

[@chachaling]

I am sorry, but when you pointed Umji and you said that you didn't see Umji really got me 😂😂😂

[@hhhhhh-pm8ig]

Fyi, the waterpool in love whisper is not cgi. They made it & dancing on water

[@yerinjung9067]

Thank you so muchhhh! We really want to watch this kind of contents huhuhu

[@Nina-gf4cf]

these girls are really good❤

[@kingwolf5736]

You have to listen to two songs at night. Time for the moon night, sunrise😊

[@g-daysubs6645]

you should react to their bsides because it is 1000000 more greater than title tracks like "rainbow , you are not alone , room of mirrors , eye of the storm , emotional days , la pam pam"

[@zakitorres16]

You will definitely appreciate them even more if you watch dance practices

[@mohdnorazizimohdrashid954]

Fun fact : the classical music at the end of Love Whisper is the same classical music at the beginning of Summer Rain. 😆😆😆

[@i_love_woo]

"girl, is this a pantene ad?" 23:10 😭 btw, sowon looks so fine there

[@fitryfitrah8265]

please next, time for the moon night,fever, sunrise, crossroad

[@luv_mark]

Fingertip is so underrated it's such a good song

[@gfriendxviviz6078]

Love GFRIEND forever ❤❤🎉

[@fzfxfcf]

Navillera and Summer Rain omg thanks

[@fzfxfcf]

Now I need you to react to some of their best: Time for the moon night

[@estradacrystallyndellt.5478]

Another fun fact: you probably didn't notice but GFriend and TXT's lore are closely related. Also, I hope you react to more GFriend 🥰

[@mimbo15116]

Thanks again for the gfriend reaction! Btw today, december 7 is our leader Sowon's birthday

[@DittoX_]

Thanks for continuing reacting to them! I hope you react to their bside songs and live stages after you finish all of their title tracks 😊

[@kpopcupid9608]

GFriend are known for their "Acapellas"

[@mimbo15116]

Fyi, the choreo for love whisper is the harderst choreo among all gfriend's title tracks (this was stated by the members themselves)

[@ivanzamarripa9393]

2:57 EXACTLY.... it makes them look like theyre content farming instead of actually caring at all😭 immediately makes me think theyre faking it if they dont care to Google real quick for a second. same with when they go "i wish it had the lyrics so i could understand more but it sounded super upbeat" like google them! 😭 takes 15 seconds to skim

[@drisyheartny3198]

Thank you for Gfriend reaction I really love it. Hope you can continue react to more Gfriend❤❤❤

[@ashrafabdullah3686]

Please continue more

[@choiyeonna7131]

pls react to their picnic live if you want to hear their vocals

[@jksoneph2378]

9:52 yeah thats yuju. Shes 3rd gens one of the best vocalist. Also for me a main dancer material. If you watch their dance practice especially mago. You’ll see why.

[@colamanodoy4775]

Lets just watch the theory videos after the mvs hehe And after that dance practice, live radio and concert, then some b sides maybe?

[@buddyeochin]

thank you for your reaction 🤍💙💜

[@yeremiajee]

Thankyou thankyou thankyouuuu ❤

[@kennethdaluz2526]

Can’t wait for you to react to time for the moon night and sunrise

[@Angel-oj4zs]

I still love FingerTip and Navillera

[@caesarmikail4410]

Wait until you react to the b side of Gfriend album. You will be amazed by the instruments in Gfriend music.

[@cherry-np8rw]

For live performances, as a group i would recommend their perf on immortal songs and for individual the king of masked singer. Also, would love to see you react on their bsides and the solo comeback of yerin and yuju. If you're curious about the story behind their mvs, there are 2 videos that basically summarizes the story behind them, i forgot the full title but it starts with A tale of the glass bead. And if you want to know the members personality, there's this subpar guide to gfriend by catrina. Can't wait for your next gfriend reaction!!

[@RochelleMiranda-q9s]

Love Whisper - they are recording the sounds from nature like its just like a love whisper

[@hanng1242]

If you want more Anime-intro-esque K-pop, check out Lovelyz, especially their song "Destiny." Then if you like Queendom, check out Oh My Girl's cover of "Destiny" from the first season.

[@Zz7722zZ]

Yuju is in my opinion one of the best vocalists of the 3rd generation, together with RV Wendy and of course Siyeon.
