Sowon Says GFRIEND Has NOT Disbanded

Sowon just dropped some hopeful news for fans. The GFRIEND leader has revealed that the group has not disbanded and even teased the group’s possible reunion.

GFRIEND Leader Sowon Says Group Has NOT Disbanded

Sowon recently made an appearance in a YouTube video on the channel Kiu기우쌤, where she got her hair done by the renowned YouTuber-hairdresser Lee Sung Gyu. During this session, Sowon and Lee engaged in a heartfelt and candid conversation about the members of GFRIEND and their current activities.

Sowon spoke about how all the members recently attended a VIVIZ concert together. She expressed how enjoyable it was for all the members to reunite at the concert, noting that this was their first meeting in two months. This regular interaction demonstrates the strong bond that the GFRIEND members continue to share, despite their different professional paths.

Lee brought up the topic of fans who still hope for GFRIEND to reunite officially. Sowon clarified a common misconception by stating that GFRIEND never truly disbanded. Instead, their exclusive contract with Source Music had ended, which led them to pursue individual activities. She emphasized that the group’s spirit and connection remain intact.

Sowon also shared insights into how the members continue to support each other’s performances. They frequently exchange opinions and critiques, which helps them stay connected to their roots as performers. She mentioned that she personally continues to practice diligently, fueled by her conviction that she will one day perform on stage with GFRIEND again.

When is the GFRIEND Reunion?

When Lee suggested the idea of GFRIEND joining VIVIZ on stage for a performance during their concert, Sowon gracefully declined. She felt that it was important for the spotlight to remain on VIVIZ during their concerts. For a potential GFRIEND comeback, Sowon expressed her desire to go all out, hinting that a proper reunion would be a grand affair rather than a surprise cameo.

GFRIEND made their debut in 2015 with the iconic song “Glass Bead,” which quickly captivated audiences with its powerful choreography and perfect vocals. The group continued to dominate the charts with hits like “Me Gustas Tu,” “Time For The Moon Night,” and “MAGO.” Their final song, “MAGO,” was released in 2021 before they announced their departure from Source Music. Despite this, the group’s legacy endures, and their bond remains as strong as ever.

Sowon’s discussion with Lee Sung Gyu provided fans with a heartening update on GFRIEND, reinforcing the hope that the beloved group may grace the stage together again in the future.

How are we feeling, BUDDYs? Fans of K-pop girl group GFRIEND are sent into a frenzy when the members recently reunited for a hang-out. 

On Saturday, August 5, all six members of GFRIEND took to social media to share photos from their recent get-together. 

One photo showed Sowon, Yerin, Eunha, Yuju, SinB, and Umji seated at a table at what seems like a restaurant. Another post featured the idols posing at a photo booth.

Fans then couldn’t help but express their happiness in seeing all the members together again. 

“GFriend are not just idols. They’re family,” one comment read, while other tweets echoed the same sentiment. Many also commended the tight bond the members have despite no longer promoting together. 

 

GFRIEND disbanded abruptly in May 2021, following the expiration of their contract with former agency Source Music. 

Since then, the members have pursued their respective endeavors and signed with different agencies. Sowon made her acting debut as Kim So Jung, with Yuju and Yerin both pursuing solo artist careers. Meanwhile, Eunha, SinB, and Umji formed the trio VIVIZ.

Despite parting ways, the members have been vocal in expressing their desire for a possible reunion in the future.

Sowon, who served as the group’s leader, previously opened up how the disbandment surprised and pained all of them. She added that they didn’t even consider that disbandment as final.

In fact, all six members also gathered in January 2023 to celebrate their eight debut anniversary. 

GFRIEND is known for their songs “MAGO,” “Me Gustas Tu,” “Navillera,” Love Whisper,” and “Glass Bead” among others.
