REACTION TO MANIAC BY VIVIZ | HOW DO THEY SOUND LIVE? 

- Buddy, gfriend fandom name, got suspicious bcs the news come up in tuesday, but just a day before, in Monday gfriend staff already post their weekly schedule like they always do. - there are some RU-vid stuff to be uploaded and other schedule. But after the article released, the schedule just got deleted. Leaving the fans confused and angry. - the source music company stay still even when fans demanded an explanation. Why that happens. But they just make announcement about their fans membership, like for refunds, etc. - fans also claim that their gfriend contract was supposed to end in November 2021. There a whole 6 month for them to make a proper goodbye comeback or make any announcement, but the company didn't care. And just leave them with that one article. - it also suspicious bcs the members are spoiling something like when they will make a comebacks or release something. make it nonsense for them just suddenly disbanded. Some more info abt gfriend staff - The source music staff didn't know anything. There a whole news and RU-vid vidio abt the sudden tragedy. Staff said they know nothing and also as confused and shocked as fans. - With gfriend contract termination, it also affect all the original staff that handle gfriend, bcs all the staff (it was 30+ staff I don't really remember the exact number) recorded leave the company. Unless about 4 choreographer that given by hybe to source music. It was unclear if they got fired or they leave voluntary. For the members : - Yerin is the first member to make a solo appearance after the tragedy. By signing as entertainer follow by sowon and yuju also doing solo stuff. And the last to make their announcement is viviz member, they shocked fans by suddenly appears as trio group when fans expected them to also doing solo. - members start talking a lil bit abt their experience in 2021. - The members also just got nottice by the company abt their contract termination about one month before the article realeased. There are no room for them to said anything bcs it was company decision. They all heartbroken and couldn't said anything to fans bcs company won't let them. There no exact explaination though, but one close friend from gfriend members (also in hybe under pledis ent) just said something like in company not all can be told to fans, and buddy suspect he was talking for gfriend. Why big hit/ hybe (also lesserafim) is also blame for gfriend situation, from my perspective. . - When source music merge with big hit, big hit gain 80℅ stocks of source music company. That means they can make a major decision for the company, They also make source music a "girlgroup only" Company and making them kick their male trainee in 2020. - big hit and source wanting to debut a join girlgroup. They open the audition way in 2019. And in 2020 almost all hybe artist posting/ doing something with a fairy wand, that suspected as sign for the new girlgroup. But it was unclear if lesserafim was the girl group in question or it was newjeans. - why it was unclear if it was NJ or lesserafim or another unreleased group, bcs there are major changing event like sakura and chaewon (ex izone) joining big hit, also min hee jin join hybe and given her own company. There also a transfer trainee from source music to ador ( min hee jin company).

Why fans was so mad to source music : - they abandoned their one and only money maker, without a proper explanation or given them a chance to said goodbye to their fans. - Source music in January 2021/ march I don't exactly remember, try to claim gfriend name. At first fans thinking it was good news as they may want to promote gfriend more. But it was actually for them to gain rights to monopolize gfriend name and making the members have a hard time to use gfriend name. - but fortunately, in 2022 , their efforts are futile bcs KIPRIS (Korean service to claim rights for brand) reject all source music efforts. It is mainly said bcs Gfriend is public known as 6 gg members, and it only can be approved if all the 6 members agreed to hand over their name rights to the company. - there also issue when fans try to claim refunds for membership, some fans got all their personal information leaked to public bcs source music mistakes. Source music also try to settle this matters by paid some compensation. But it still make the fans mad. Woo.. It's a long story. I am really sorry for that. But it's been so long for me to rant abt source music. And I really apologize again for me got loose and type long explanation. Though it's also may be incorrect info and missing some information.

You summarize this well thought out.

Wow this was super enlighting.

@@fonvibestv lol.. I was a pretty hardcore buddy back then(probably still). Gfriend was probably my one and only gg that I really listen to even their bsides songs and any their projects like cover, ost, etc in kpop. So I naturally remember many things abt them 😅

Definitely my favourite voice too. Yuju has the power, Eunha the technique, but Umji has the warmest, soothing voice. Check out her OSTs and song covered if you haven’t already!

Actually it’s been a surprise slow-burner. As usual I watched all their comeback shows, then the reactions, and then settled down with it on my playlist to wait for the next CB. Then I started noticing quite a few shorts of people doing the “Ongdong” shake, and even a few new reactions of Viviz and GFriend’s old works. And following it back I found out that during the last few months the hip shaking went viral, Maniac is still on the charts even if there were no music show wins, and quite a lot of people started discovering Viviz and by extension GFriend too.

9 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!omg

Its coming next!!!

mediocre really now, Im both a stan of these girl groups and a lot of others, i may understand your feeling as a fan when Gfrined disbanded, no need to say something like a mediocre esppecailly when that certain mediocre group you say just so bag a number of awards, this year alone you may not like them but sheesh just respect only, i may have a stronger opinion and i do rank them on my list since they are way to many to follow now these days, but i try to keep my opinion to myself instead and try to make my comment as neutral as possible, just remember you are not the only fan for this certain groups, and they have all have good qualities each of their own,

@@danlaurel311 , A group cannot be NOT mediocre if it is formed around VISUAL, who was kicked out of the previous group for her parents buying a place in it. DOT! And you can eat their HYPE content with a big spoon, that’s your right.

I think I’ve gotten better with the pronunciation since I started lol. A few slip ups here and there. For whatever reason I found UHN-HA the hardest to pronounce 😅

girl nobody have time to call them bibiji all the time, let international people call them veeveez, that's even easier. unless we're speaking korean then we say bibiji. just like gfriend, everyone call them gee-friend unless we're speaking korean then we will call them yeojachingu.

They are actually Conga drums. Bongos are much smaller
