GFRIEND (여자친구) is a six-member generation-defining South Korean Girl Group, considered a miracle of small companynote They were the first and only act under Source Music that became a HYBE subsidiary in late 2019. They debuted in 2015 and disbanded in 2021. However, accordingly to the members, who are still close friends and plan to reunite as a group someday, the group is on hiatus.Lore / ConceptThe group developed a strong musical identity that encapsulates a nostalgic feeling, whether it's through a dreamy, melancholic, sentimental sound presented especially through orchestral pop and ballads or a light-hearted, funky and energetic pop influenced by retro musical styles.The group had a continuous storyline named "A Tale of the Glass Bead", their own Fictional Universe intertwined with their music. The story went from a school series to a magical narrative. The main plot revolved around the friendship of a group of girls while they grew up surrounded by a mysterious universe and needed to deal with loss, their friendship falling apart and a bittersweet feeling as they struggled to be together. Melodies, lyrics, choreography, and music videos all come together to tell a story, making storytelling a strong signature of the group.Musical CareerThey debuted on January 16, 2015 with the lead single “Glass Bead” (Season of Glass), gathering several rookie awards and dubbed “powerful innocence” for their Girl Next Door image and hard-hitting dance moves, averting the stereotype of weakness associated with femininity and echoing their youth as they tell their own Coming of Age journey.The group reached huge success after completing a school trilogy with the summery “Me Gustas Tu” from Flower Bud and the snowy “Rough (Running Through Time)" from Snowflake. On July 11, 2016, they released their first full album LOL in two versions — "Lots of Love" and "Laughing Out Loud" with a retro-pop sound in the energetic single "Navillera" followed by the funky "Fingertip" in 2017 from the New Sound Album, The Awakening. They continued the year with the double summer release "Love Whisper" (Parallel) and "Summer Rain" (Rainbow), showing two sides of the season as the latter anticipates autumn.They held their first concert called Season of GFRIEND in 2018 and with the release of "Time for the Moon Night", the group fully embraced a more mature sound with a concept named "passionate melancholy", expanding their musical spectrum and theatrical performances. Later, they released a special summer album with the brassy "Sunny Summer" as the title track.The second full album Time for Us was released in 2019 with the sentimental roller coaster "Sunrise", followed by the tropical "Fever" from Fever Season. They finished the year with the highly praised first Japanese studio album Fallin' Light, which includes the previous singles "Memoria" and "Flower".Labyrinth, Song of the Sirens and Walpurgis' Night are part of the 2020 "回 (hui)" series, marking a new era for GFRIEND that, after completing five years of career, became part of HYBE when their agency was acquired. The trilogy is known for the mellow "Crossroads", bombastic "Labyrinth", alluring "Apple" and the retro-earworm "Mago", representing the members metamorphosing into witches (their new concept revolving around empowerment). The album series was important for the sextet and their growth as artists as they began to have more direct input and participation in songwriting.Disbandment / New Beginnings / HiatusOn May 18, 2021, it was announced that the group would be disbanding following an inability to agree on new contract terms, with the members uploading handwritten letters to their fans to social media to thank them for their support. Until October, all members officially joined new agencies. Sowon in acting, Yuju in music and Yerin in the entertainment field. Eunha, Sinb and Umji formed a Power Trio girl group called VIVIZ.Shortly after the remaining members announced their new label, they reunited in Sowon's Instagram live. The leader said GFRIEND was forever and that we shouldn't cry, matching her last Weverse post saying that they will definitely meet again someday and Sinb agreed, saying Sowon is VIVIZ's honorary leader and that they are still GFRIEND.Sowon also acknowledged their shocking ending saying there are things they can't say due to the nature of their job and that she understands it must be frustrating for fans as much as it's for them. Umji finished saying she has written a song for the group in the hopes they can sing it as six again and that's one of her ambitions, to share this song with the world through the voice of the members. | |

GFRIEND (Music) / int_222059fa | comment |
Fairytale Motifs: "Apple" basically being a dark fantasy borrowed some elements from fairy tales. Firstly, Snow White, when Eunha bites the apple. Yerin evokes Sleeping Beauty as well as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland when she chases the butterfly into the labyrinth. "A Tale of the Glass Bead: Buttefly Effect", a prelude to "Apple", also evokes Cinderella, when someone left behind one of the slippers in the forest. The illustrated mini books follow a fairy tale format, the name of the story is "A Tale of the Glass Bead" after all. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: The original choreography for "Navillera" had a butterfly formation too impractical to perform with the song, they did it for a special stage. A bonus from the same era is a cute opening with ribbons. They danced on the water for "Love Whisper" and even being too impractical for live stages, they did it one time. | |

Korean Series: They appeared in many! Here are some examples: Some Crossover reality shows examples were when they appeared in Insolent Housemates with Heechul and did a Showtime series with Mamamoo. They were Parents for a Day, but with dogs, in Look After Out Dog and had some travel-reality series like One Fine Day, GFRIEND Loves Europe, The Friends in the Adriatic Sea and Summer Vacation in Okinawa. MEMORIA was their own reality-variety show with many different arcs. Going from Vacation Episode to Mystery Episode, New Job Episode and casual talk shows. The series ended out of the blue with a Clip Show. | |

Sowon said that "Labyrinth" is about Double Consciousness, a story of a girl who faces an identity crisis in a maze-like world, agonizing over whether to stay or escape from it. A maze-like garden appears in some of their stages like "Rough", "Apple" and even a "Fever" performance that was named Une Journée Au Jardin. | |

Back to the Early Installment: "Crossroads" has Eunha's crumbling room sequence implying she goes back to "Fingertip" and "Time for the Moon Night" using the butterfly as Interdimensional Travel Device. The music video also opens with a scene straight out of "Fingertip". The ending of "Mago" shows the Secret Underground Passage from "Sunrise". | |

Artifact of Power: In the Magical Society they lived in and was once known as "blue butterfly village", there were butterflies everywhere but they disappeared after people started to use them for bad things, but... actually... they weren't totally gone. The butterflies were kept in this box in a Magical Library far from the village by a mysterious man. | |

When the Clock Strikes Twelve | |
GFRIEND (Music) / int_3429147e | comment |
When the Clock Strikes Twelve: It's implied by the Solar and Lunar trilogy composed of "Time for the Moon Night", "Sunny Summer" and "Sunrise": "Time for the Moon Night" is a night meeting between them. "Sunny Summer" quotes Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 ("Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?...") and Sonnet 43 ("All days are nights to see till I see thee / And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me") connecting to Umji's monologue from "Sunrise" and implying the importance of "day, night and dreams". In "Sunrise", the monologue talks about the time they have with each other as the story shows it's Eunha's birthday. There are three versions: "Daybreak", "Daytime" and "Midnight". There is a Sundial Waypoint in the plot as well, hinting at a Liminal Time. | |

Character Development | |
GFRIEND (Music) / int_3b113b7 | comment |
One could say that there is a Character Development dialogue between "Room of Mirrors" and "Mago" and the use of mirrors to address self-image. The first is bitter, an anxious individual; the latter is at peace with oneself, it's a celebration through purification. The individual from "Room of Mirrors" is wavering, but "Mago" states "I won't ever waver". "Run away for me" changes to "Dance for me". She's smiling in the mirror, instead of "turning around as possessed and blaming" herself. | |

Album Closure | |
GFRIEND (Music) / int_47b97b31 | comment |
Album Closure: All the last tracks from Labyrinth, Song of the Sirens and Walpurgis Night offer closure to their own stories. The Surprisingly Gentle Song "From Me" finishes with the theme of loving yourself, leaving behind the "you" from the previous songs. "Stairs in the North" contemplates the past and hesitation in moving forward, giving a Downer Ending compared to the album opener "Apple", but what could be a "When I'm Gone" Song ends up hopeful with their recurrent theme of doing things at your own pace. "Wheel of the Year" is about being able to move forward and continue running, being a Sequel Song to "Compass" and closure for the whole series. | |

Allusion | |

Allusion: "Navillera" is a neologism created by the Korean poet Cho Chi-hun in the poem “The Nun’s Dance” to describe a fluttering action similar to the movement of a butterfly. The clothes used in "Love Whisper" resemble Whisper of the Heart. "Rough" being inspired by The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. "Sunny Summer" to Vermeer's painting "Girl with a Pearl Earring", Silent Movies (`Door. Bang´) and also Shakespeare. Haydn's Sunrise appears in the "Sunrise" music video. Similar to the original, the melody and choreography for the song emulate the sun rising. Jean-Honoré Fragonard's "The Swing" painting appears in "Apple". | |

Averted with the lack of an audience during the pandemic, the members yelled "Buddy-ya" at the camera instead. Sinb used to say "tting" after Eunha's "Fever" intro and now fans started to say it too. The biggest example of this would be “Vacation", the fans started to shout "EEEEAAAA" during the song, turning it into a very interactive and fun performance. | |

Rule of Symbolism | |
GFRIEND (Music) / int_916c72b3 | comment |
Rule of Symbolism: The internal conflict of each girl can be seen in the aforementioned Song of the Sirens (2020)'s "Tilted" concept photos, as it displays objects related to the characters and their moral dilemma as well as the books: Lord of the Flies by William Golding, Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen, On Liberty by John Stuart Mill and Disgrace by J. M. Coetzee with an Assimilation Academy imagery. The scale was also explored in the "Apple" comeback stage and the weight of the objects are more symbolic than literal. One of the versions of Labyrinth (2020) is called "Twisted", a reference to Ariadne's thread and the Minotaur labyrinth, but also a Foreshadowing of "A Tale of the Glass Bead: Butterfly Effect" and their twisted paths. | |

Mind Screw | |
GFRIEND (Music) / int_bef696dd | comment |
Mind Screw: "Fingertip" is a perfect example. It happens to be a Dream Sequence with a lot of symbolism, Battle in the Center of the Mind, Mirror Universe and the classic All Just a Dream ending. It's ambiguous if Eunha's dream is Dreaming of Times Gone By, Dreaming of Things to Come or even Crashing Dreams. | |

Melancholic. Departing from the duo to work with another, No Joo-hwan e Lee Won-jong were in-house producers. With a concept called passionate melancholy, the until then "pink world" gets urgent in tone as the girls discover the pains of growing up. The lyrics become more poetic and metaphorical. The encouraging lyrics open space to healing songs. Love is seen with a new lens, they go through heartwrenching feelings like longing, yearning and heartbreak of grand love stories. | |

Female Empowerment Song | |
GFRIEND (Music) / int_ca0b723f | comment |
Female Empowerment Song: "Apple" uses witch imagery that ends up being related to womanhood rather than a more broad self-empowerment song. The girls said "Apple" is about being honest in one’s desires, rather than simply being swayed by temptation. "Mago" follows the same idea combined with the dance floor being the representation of the place where they can be free. | |

The Corruption: "Apple" is about being swayed by temptation, but by your own terms. The concept photos reflect it as well, the aforementioned "Broken Room", "Tilted" and "Apple" (representing the dazzling and shining temptation). The chapter is related to the butterflies being used, tainting their glass beads, a symbol of corruption. Although, rather than tainted red, they choose considerably positive words: | |

Lyrics/Video Mismatch: Averted. The music videos reflect the songs and lyrics. Sometimes groups will tell a non-related story in their music videos while the songs are Silly Love Songs, but for GFRIEND it works both ways, a love song and part of the fictional universe as the characters are communicating in the story. It happens because the lyrics are gender-neutral and vague in a poetic type of way, matching with the music video imagery. | |

KPop | |
GFRIEND (Music) / int_e544354b | comment |
Witch. More of a concept than a sound, they started to work closely with Frants and evolve their image from girls to women. All phases led to this moment, with the members writing and composing songs that were before inspired by them instead. The empowerment theme that became overdone in K-Pop didn't sound generic because it married the wistful and lyrical tone of their existent musical identity, giving a refreshing and unique take to this thematic, and being a Character Development after changing the main subject of the songs. | |

Determinator: Yuju. Nothing will stop her from finishing their performance. And by nothing, we mean nothing. Not accidentally having one of her shoes slipped off on stage. Not even falling down at least four times and suffering a twisted finger as a result of those falls as seen on that legendary fancam performance will stop her. Also, after she broke her hand, she performed quite a few times while wearing a cast. | |

Star-Crossed Lovers | |
GFRIEND (Music) / int_e596f27b | comment |
Star-Crossed Lovers: It's a recurrent theme in their discography, especially using crossing paths and parallel lines as the motif. Specifically in Snowflake, we have the theme starting with "Rough" and "Say My Name", and getting a resolution in "Trust". | |

Tender Tears: Yerin cried during Yuju's rhythmic gymnastic performance. Yuju cried when she saw Sowon backstage in her debut as a runway model. The stage for "Here We Are" during their first online concert "C:ON", organized due to the pandemic. The members couldn't hold their tears seeing fans on the screen behind them. | |

Vocal Tag Team | |
GFRIEND (Music) / int_f0f4b47 | comment |
Vocal Tag Team: There is a tradition that every K-Pop group needs a rapper, resulting in the infamous Gratuitous Rap in a lot of songs. That's not the case with them, GFRIEND is a vocal group and very praised for that, their encore stages are even called "ear purifying". In their early days, even if the group used to display A Cappella and harmonizations on radio shows, Yuju and Eunha were labeled as vocal line, doing the most collaborations and OSTs outside of the group. Today all the girls have the opportunity to show their vocals in their songs whether with high notes or adlibs, they even have individual stages in their concerts. | |
