On May 18, the well-known South Korean girl group GFriend decided to disband.
According to Korean media reports, GFriend decided not to renew his contract, and the members will develop independently. GFRIEND is a Korean girl singing group launched by Source Music in 2015 and consists of six members: Kim So-yeon, Jeong Yi-lin, Ding Eun-fei, Choi Yun-na, Hwang Eun-fei and Kim Yi-won. The girl group is popular for its pure style, and the neat knife group dance is their performance characteristic. In 2019, Bighit Entertainment acquired SOURCE MUSIC. Following the acquisition, SOURCE MUSIC continued to operate from its original management while maintaining its independence.
The agency said that "after a long and in-depth discussion with Gfriend, we decided to show a better look on our respective roads", "In the past 6 years, Gfriend has opened a new era of girl groups with diverse ideas, performances, and music, which has been loved by many K-POP fans, and we sincerely thank Gfriend, who has been working together for a long time. ”
The agency then said, "I would like to express my deep gratitude to all the fans, including Buddy (Gfriend fans), who have always supported and loved Gfriend, and hope that you will continue to support the members who will carry out activities in various fields in the future." We will also continue to support members who are taking new steps towards a better tomorrow. ”
In 2015, the girlfriend group encountered heavy rain during a performance, and the members fell down many times while dancing in the rain, but insisted on getting up to complete the performance. The show attracted a lot of attention in South Korea, and GFriend also became famous.
