Gfriend did not disband. They are just conquering K-pop from different directions, and gathering different experiences to make their future Gfriend comebacks so much more interesting.
even though it shouldn't have been their last song -- mago, aka the greatest disbandment song in kpop. even people who claimed they hated them as group had to admit this song, along with the album (which was grammy committee approved) was good.
you didn't react to my ultimate favourite gfriend title track "sunrise" :( but yeah i reeeaaally recommend you to react to that song in the future cause it's an absolute masterpiece!!
Yuju was the most athletic of the group, so she did the pole dancing, I believe that she wrote the song as well. MAGO was conceived as a "retro" song, hence the disco like vibes. Eunha would share in the high notes in several songs so as to reduce some of the stress on Yuju who according to some sources had suffered vocal damage due to overwork, you will see this in songs like "Labyrinth" where Eunha carries most of the high notes. As you delve deeper into Gfriend you will no doubt find a bias, I love them all but lean towards Eunha and Umji as my favorites.
Yuju's pole dancing was something else lol Also I can't wait to get to their deep dive later on and explore more from them! I love so many of their songs!!!
LOL. Your reaction to Gfriend turning dark in "Apple" is downright hilarious - reminds me of myself when I saw it for the first time. Of course, here comes Mago to finish the job. Yes, WTH "Mago" as their last comeback together, it's a travesty.
Yuju is my bias from GFriend, then she move on to be soloist. 3 of the members move on to be part of a group called Viviz. I think Sowon went into acting. And last one a soloist too I think.
Crossroads actually made me more emotional seeing it now again after their disbandment 😢 All their songs still slap. My recommendations: - Contrail - Fever - Rain in the spring time - You are not alone - Summer Rain - Sunrise - Ave Maria - Vacation - Sunny Summer - Here we are - Fingertip - Three of cups - Love Whisper - Memoria (korean version) - Flower (korean version)
I still love Gfriend so much :') my 3rd favourite group to this day, I'm sad they are disbanded but am happy that I was there for a few years before they disbanded and got to experience their comebacks. I felt so happy when i saw Viviz preforming Time for the Moon Night live, like the rush of emotions I felt 😭
I am glad that you are enjoying your fast track GFriend journey like a trip on a breathless bullet train. I hope you enjoy their B sides too but their live performances are to die for as they perform complex but beautiful choreography accompanied by stunning and stable live vocals. Their first live concert was amazing where they performed almost every single B side up to that point with full original choreography. I hope you love them enough to do a Deep Dive into them in the future as the more you see of them the deeper you will fall for them.
@@roguereacts thank you 🙏. I noticed that you had added them to your future Deep Dive list in a recent community post, as well as Red Velvet, Girls Generation and Mamamoo. I was very excited seeing that. When you do the latter you may want to watch the Showtime special where Mamamoo and GFriend do the show competing against each other in challenges and near the end mixing them up so we got great interactions between them. Very funny.
Apple and Mago were supposed to herald a change in musical direction/concept for Gfriend but sadly they ended up being the last 2 title tracks they would put out. The MV for Time for the Moon Night is actually darker than it seems; there's an underlying theme of loss and grief, and one of the girls (Eunha, long black hair in black jacket) seems separate from the others and it is suggested that their reunion towards the end is not quite 'right', with her staring blankly, flashing lights and her being the only one turning to look at the camera with an ominous expression. Starting from around that time in Gfriend's concept there began to have a hint of the occult, time travel etc. In Apple that became full blown witches and in Mago (which means magician in Spanish), the witch theme is continued with lyrics such as 'fly away on a broom' etc.
I love the idea of what you do in terms of the throwbacks! you get a glimpse of everything really by including MV’s, b-sides and performances! I just watched your viviz reaction too! SinB was the one who caught your eye in VIVIZ Honestly, they’re such a good group I’ve been a fan since late 2016 and they got me into kpop, just something about them makes me feel nostalgic. I can’t wait to see the other 2 videos! And hopefully more in the future because there is so much content! Like their other MV’s - Fingertip (2017), Love Whisper (2017), Summer Rain (2017), Sunny Summer (2018), Memoria (2018- this is their first Japanese single although Japanese MV’s can be a bit awkward to post but just so you are aware of them I’ll mention them), Sunrise (2019), Flower (2019- Japanese release), Fever (2019), Fallin’ Light (2019- Japanese release) They do have a very large discography so I hope that eventually you’ll have the chance to dive into that more in the future!! As well as VIVIZ who have 3 mini albums currently! Beam of Prism (2022)- Bop Bop is the title track (I highly recommend all of their bsides but from this album Tweet Tweet is very interesting) Summer Vibe (2022)- Loveade is the title track (love love love is one of my favourite songs from them!) VariouS (2023)- Pull Up Yuju’s discography REC. (2022)- Play (honestly such a good debut album!) O (2023)- Without U Yerin’s discography Aria (2022)- Aria Ready Set Love (2023)- Bambambam (a small but great album!)
thank you!! I wanted to make sure I did each group justice but exploring a little of everything! I know I won't be able to add every single group to my deep dive list, but thought I could just do the same format just super condensed. And maybe some of them would be added to my deep dive list! 🥰 You will be happy to hear I did add GFriend to my deep dive list!!! We just have 3 groups before them, but it will happen! 🥰🥰
23:16 here's Viviz (left to right: Umji, Sinb, Eunha) 23:21 Yerin who just made her 1st solo cb yesterday 23:29 Sowon (leader) 23:36 Yuju (main vocalist)
Crossroads was the first mv I ever saw by them and I instantly fell in love with both the mv and the song. ♥ Sadly they had already disbanded by then. Crossroads, Apple and Mago are some of my faves!
This some Stupid theory from me They're witches already... From the lines " I wanna ride a broom and Fly " as well as " 6960 magic" which refer to NGC6960 , the witch broom nebula. They wear glittering clothes because they ate the apple ( Apple MV describe apple to be glittering ). The music Video is about Sowon's attempt to save the girls , apparently , the rest of the members were burned at stake in apple MV , because apple MV is the start of the Walpurgis Night, a celebration of witches burned at the stake. In the apple MV , the hair burning Ritual shows the apples= Glass bead burning , except Sowon's , Because no one cut her hair at the back. 1. Sowon come to save rest of the girls , she enter the tunnel ( Symbolism that she's leaping through the time ) To save the girls who were burned at the stake in apple MV. 2. They dance in the moon ( Disco Ball ) Night , which is part of the Walpurgis Night festival , Yuju seems to be the Queen of that night , consistent with her being the only one with a CROWN in apple MV. That also explains the overwhelming number of mirrors in the MV , an object related to Yuju's Power. 3. We know that sowon obtained a unique ability from the bookstore owner ( Marchen Book ) , in the same way eunha got her Navilleras/butterflies. She used this ability to travel to the future ( Tunnel ) , where the people celebrate The Wlapurgis Night , where the rest of the burnt Member Re- appear ( This is a holiday ) , This is in the lyrics the girls can dance to the moon night again 2 years ago , on the night of april 30 ( european holiday for Walpurgis Night ) , Gfriend Release Time For the Moon night. 4. They were unsure and afraid of the future in TFTMN , but in MAGO , they are expecting the future , they are no more hesitant ( Hakuna Matata = No worries ) of which crossroad to take , as the lyrics suggest " Joy or Sorrow everything will be me ". 5. In the end , sowon managed to get them back and they went through the same tunnel , going back in time , this tunnel almost similiar to the tunnel in the sunrise. There is also a fish eye lens scene in the last dance Sequence , which is a glass bead shot, which is sowon glass bead ability , she can look the girl wherever they are through her glass bead , as revealed in in the marchen book. As well as sunny summer when eunha saw something through sowon jewelry ( The diamond she nearly swallowed ). This tell us that sowon , after meeting with the bookstore owner , can probably look at the girls in the future... Thats why she was able to locate the time line to go through. If eunha uses the power of the butterfly vis-a-vis, her power to create lucid dreams ( she goes back in time .. to the time she is last a sleep ) . Sowon can use the unique power vis-a-vis, her power to see the girls using the glass bead . The song lyrics also combination of their other song lyrics , esp. Navillera and fingertip. They're going back in time now .. opposite of the old GFRIEND that continuosly goes right by the ever so flowing concept of time. Hence the Railroad , Trains , Seasons , Bridges , And Trees. We get to see the most obvious indication of Twin Eunha and Sinb. They have been giving us hints of their " ONEness " in fingertip ( When Sinb astral projection comes out of Eunha ) , Love Whisper ( Yerin x Sinb which turns out to be Yerin x Eunha in navillera ) , TFTMN ( Couch Scene where sinb shadows Eunha , Choreo as well ) , Sunrise ( Fingertip ending eunha crying while a sleep , Sunrise Ending Sinb Crying While A sleep ) , Apple MV ( They Two Kissing The same apple ). This time , we actually see the two of them in similiar Outfits , Short hair , Same set Of earrings , And pearl Necklace. THEORY 1 My theory also is that not only are Eunha and Sinb Related .. but also Umji.. the scene at the start , where Umji and Sinb appear out of nowhere next to eunha just keeps bugging me. Then it occured to me how GFRIEND like using Greek Myth aa part of their Storyline ( Orion the hunter and artemis in Fingertip ) , ( Artemis and apollo in TFTMN ) , ( Ariadne and theeseus in labyrinth portion of apple ). Eunha , Umji , and Sinb reminded Me of the Greek of goddess of the night ( girls only meet at night / Dreams ). Witchcraft and Magic ( Apple Mv +magic grantedby the love whisper lake ) , and Crossroad ( Overall theme ) = HECATE She has 3 Faces that signify her dominion over the stars , The sea and The underworld , these face are each represented by Twin eunha + Sinb With Umji as the dividing line. Star : Eunha means Galaxy.. she is associated with Navillera ( Blue Butterfly of the Stars ) her butterflies in Apple Returned back to the stars . Underworld : Sinb is the one who tempted Eunha to bite the apple ( Devils temptation ) Sea : Umji paper boat in summer rain .. she is in Summer rain Outfit in the butterfly Effect , the Aquarium Scene in Crossroad When Umji got Rejected by Yuju. In eunha and sinb Kiss in apple MV , She is the apple ( MNET comeback Stage intro Where she has an apple on the Beambalance , as well as in concept Photos ). That divide the Stars ( Eunha ) and the underworld ( Sinb ) , The Sea pretty much divides The underworld and the Stars. She was able To connect Sinb and Eunha , In Sunrise By completing the puzzle , She play piano Reflecting Eunha Who Play a piano and the same Music sheet. Much like How the Sea Reflects the stars at night .. THEORY 2 in the mirror dance scene Yuju has the word " Amour " while Eunha has the word " Angel " by their Belts , this refer to " CUPID " as Amour is His Latin Name , While He is in the form of a Cherub , A higher form of ANGEL. He Might Have also Appeared in The TxT universe.. Thanks for Reading :)
okay HOLD the phone here! There are no stupid theories on this channel, I absolutely love hearing all of them! Plus this theory is FANTASTIC and so well thought out!! I'm over here wanting to grab some popcorn and watch this theory play out like a full fledge movie! Cause daaaamn it's really good! And I totally see some of these points you are hitting! Now I can't wait to do their deep dive later and watch out for these points! Thank you so much for sharing!! 🥰🥰🥰
There are quite a few main songs missing. The order is as follows: Glass bead Me gustas tu Rough Na villera Fingertip Love whisper Summer rain TFTMN Sunrise Fever crossroads Apple Mago😢
I'm 2 months late but idk if anyone told you...but Gfriend has a storyline and all of their mv's are connected apart from sunny summer and fever. Idk how to properly summarize the storyline, but I believe they start as regular school girls (glass bead, rough, early year era) then they travel to an enchanted lake (Love whisper) where they get powers. And as the story progresses they start envying each other (fingertip), towards the end of their storyline for Apple, I believe they start embracing the dark side of the power they got. I believe they turn into witches bc their last album is called Walpurgis Night. Pretty sure there's a more in depth explanation online.
The first time I watched Apple and I got to 18:23 I remember my jaw hitting the floor. After experiencing so many *years* of the innocent/ nostalgic concepts. How dare they attack me like this 😂 rude Crossroads is still my favourite Gfriend MV and song though
Gfriend have story or theory in every their mv ,since their debut until the last mv, and every story connected to each other,remember the glass bead,it appears in apple,and the Crossroads ,its means something
I loved Time for the Moon Night and Crossroads from the first time I heard them. Apple grew on me over time. I ended up listening to it more than I planned to because I was watching some many SinB fancams.
@@roguereacts, note to you: in addition to Sunrise (where 3 high notes sound in a row), Fingertip (the Crossroads began with referal from it), Love Whisper (their most difficult choreography, which they did in water at music shows), a special clip from 1theK - Labyrinth (the maximum number high notes from all songs of GFriend), Fever (tropical beat and only title track which have rap), Summer Rain (meloncholic semi-ballad), Sunny Summer (light song, but with a deep hidden meaning). Don't forget Japanese MVs: Memoria, Flower, Falling Light (aka Angel's Ladder). I would also recommend three videos of their duets from latest album: Better Me, Secret Diary and Night Drive. Almost all of their b-sides are gorgeous, it’s very difficult to choose, the first 5 that came to mind: Rainbow, Only 1, It’s You, Room of Mirrors, Gone with the Wind. And of course their ballads: Trust, Bye and ballad versions of: Rough, Sunrise and Summer Rain.
Oh man you missed out sunrise, sunny summer, summer rain, fingertip, fever.. anyway i miss gfriend so much. left a big hole in the kpop industry.. hasnt been the same since although CSR has some promise.
At your leisure, would you pls consider to react to MV by Afterschool such as First Love MV? Enjoyed, admired, & appreciated your reactions, esp., upon seeing that pole dance!,,,,WTF!! I felt the same,,,,,,You have the best day wherever you are in the USA,,,,(09/26/23)
