GFRIEND was dissolved after 6 years, Yu Zhou left a message concerned about → the content of the company it belonged to was suddenly deleted.
The group GFRIEND disbanded 6 years after its debut. Member Yu Zhou raised questions about the day before the group's dissolution announcement was made public, mentioned the mood article of the day before his debut, and the sudden deletion of the content of the preview schedule by the affiliated company on the day of the dissolution announcement.
At 11:44 p.m. on May 17, Yu Zhu uploaded a photo on Gfriend's official fan community platform, and Yu Zhou also said that it was "vivid" (still fresh in memory). The public photo is part of a diary yu wrote on January 15, 2015, the day before his debut as GFRIEND.
Yu wrote at the time: January 15, 2015 Debut D-1
Tomorrow I will officially debut at Music Bank. The first album, Season of Glass, was released today, and much more, such as music videos and filming scenes, was made public. Just believe it, for better or for worse, and be sincerely responsible for my role.
Because I did my best, I've done a good job so far, but that doesn't mean I'll always do well. Concentrate on that moment. Always maintaining a positive attitude is not my style, but sometimes we have to be cheerful. My mom, dad, sister, my baby friends...
Some people believe that Yu Juri's public diary on the eve of his debut in the music program is a confession of mood for the dissolution and one day.
On the 18th, according to the official announcement of the affiliated company SOURCE MUSIC, the exclusive contract between GFRIEND and the affiliated company to which Yu Zhou belongs will end on May 22, and it was decided not to renew the contract. It is reported that in the future, we will not continue formal team activities, but decide to go our own way.
At this point, GFRIEND was disbanded 6 years after its debut. In 2015, through the first mini album "Season Of Glass", he officially debuted in the music industry, and in the past 6 years, he has been loved by fans in Korea and abroad for his big hits such as "Time Passes", "Today Starts Us", "Night", "You and Me", "Glass Beads", and "Ear-to-Ear Listening".
In July 2019, after SOURCE MUSIC was acquired as a subsidiary of BIGIT Entertainment, it was supported by THE PRODUCERS OF HIVE REPRESENTATIVE FANG SHIHE, AND GFRIEND ALSO SHOWED A DISTINCTIVE MUSICAL COLOR. The last album before disbanding was the third full-length album, Back: Walpurgis Night, released in November 2020.
The sudden dissolution news has left many fans with deep regret. Prior to this, most idol groups that decided to disband without renewing their contracts, and their companies, would inform fans of the fact of dissolution in at least a few months, release the last new song with farewell meaning for fans, or perform the last concert, however, THERE was no action in this regard for SOURCE MUSIC.
Of course, when the contract end date is approaching, there will also be a sudden interruption in the discussion of the contract renewal, so it is very likely that it will not be possible to give advance notice, or prepare the final farewell content, etc... However, it is self-evident that the fans who receive the message are not given sufficient care. The precedent of only 4 days to inform the news until the dissolution date is difficult to find. In all respects, it does not seem like a natural disintegration, and the members concerned have not yet personally expressed any position.
Suspicious movements by the companies were also captured. Until the day before the dissolution announcement, SOURCE MUSIC has been disclosing various content related to GFRIEND, including the company's original plan to disclose a special behind-the-scenes editing video at 4 p.m. on the 18th, a public behind-the-scenes photo at 6 p.m. and so on... However, these schedules were suddenly deleted, and the relevant content was not made public, which made fans more confused, and many fans hoped to come up with a complete explanation.
Here's what's official SOURCE MUSIC:
