Korean netizens are expressing deep nostalgia for GFriend on various online platforms.
On January 6th, netizens gathered online to reminisce about GFriend‘s music, creating a post titled “Remembering GFriend’s Unique Sound Before HYBE” on a popular community site.
The post highlighted the song “Crossroads,” which was released as the first comeback after HYBE‘s acquisition of Source Music. Despite the collaboration with the original composer/producer, HYBE later introduced the concept of choosing ‘Apple‘ at the crossroads, symbolizing a shift in the group’s musical style.
Although opinions on the later song “MAGO” varied, netizens unanimously agreed that it’s regrettable that GFriend‘s activities came to an abrupt end.
In the comments section, netizens expressed their deep longing for GFriend:
“I miss their unique style. It’s a shame they ended so suddenly.”
“‘Crossroads’ holds a special place in my heart.”
“‘Apple’ brought in new fans, even though some existing ones were disappointed with the change. I wonder what they could have achieved with more time.”
“I was excited for their next song after ‘MAGO,’ but…”
“I miss seeing all six members performing together on stage.”
“‘Apple’ was truly outstanding.”
“I never expected GFriend to disband like this.”
“Bring back GFriend!”
“Although they are doing well individually, I miss seeing them as a team.”
“I stopped listening to HYBE songs after GFriend’s disbandment.”
