Everything you need to know about Gfriend !!!!

(from left to right) Sowon, Eunha, Yerin, SinB, Umji, and Yuju.

GFriend


The group debuted in 2015 and is under Source Music Entertainment, which I believe is not a well known company as I have never heard of it. From there debut with "Glass Bead" which has 16,072,858 views as of now, with there comeback "Navillera" that has 9,035,579 views in 3 weeks, the group is popular and well known internationally. The CEO has stated that the girls will not be doing sexy concepts which leaves it to the conclusion that the there comebacks are gonna be cute and pure concepts as there usual stuff. SinB has stated that "sexy doesn't fit well for us. We have absolutely no desire to go sexy". There most viewed music video they have at the moment is "Rough" with 28,518,595 Views, and 2nd "Me gusta tu" with 27,331,239 Views.

Rough
Me Gustas Tu



The group got more known after performing Me Gustas Tu on a rainy day, were it was really slippery and and most of the members were falling down, but kept getting up and dancing until the end of the song. Because of that they gained a lot of fans, as they basically think of them as true performers after not giving up, and consistently getting hurt from falling. The video at the moment has 11,366,068 Views on Youtube.



Individual information on the members, and scandals.




 1. Kim So Jung (Sowon)= Leader, rapper, and vocalist of the group. Born in 1995 (turning 21 this year), Height = 172 cm (the tallest member). As I searched I didn't find any scandals/rumours about Sowon.



2. Jung Ye Rin (Yerin)= Dancer, and vocalist in the group. Born in 1996 (turning 20 this year), Height = 167 cm. So as I searched for any scandals/rumours on Yerin, I found out that she disrespected some fans by drawing on an expensive plushie (rare to find) that was given to her by one of her fans probably at a fan meet an greet. The pikachu plushie costed around $200-300. Quiet expensive for a gift. Now the fan that gave the gift was okay with it, but there were a lot of other fans that commented on it and said that what she did was disrespectful.
 I believe that there was no harm from what she did, as after getting a gift she would be able to do anything she likes to it, and she just doodled all over it and styled it the way she wanted it to be. You can find more on this topic on this website:  http://www.kpopstarz.com/articles/242045/20150920/g-friend-yerin-controversy-doodling-fan-gift.htm
3. Jung Eun Bin (Eunha) = Vocalist of the group, born in 1997 (19 years old). Height: 163cm. So there were some pretty clear rumours of MadTown member Buffy and Eunha dating, as he posted two pictures on MadTowns official instagram account, with the caption "date", "lovestagram" and "girlfriend". Some fans think that they did this for attention for potential comeback. The pictures did make it look like they were dating, but it has NOT been officially stated that they are.To get more details on this topic go to this website:http://www.allkpop.com/article/2015/10/mad-towns-buffy-is-dating-g-friends-eunha  4. Choi Yu Na (Yuju)= Main vocalist of the group, born in 1997 (18 years old). Height = 169 cm. There are not any rumours or scandals about Choi Yu Na that I have found.
5. Hwang Eun Bi (SinB) = Dancer, Vocalist and Face of the group. Born in 1998 (18 years old). Height = 165cm. Known for looking like Jessica Jung. Fun fact: When Gfriend first debuted a lot of people though that ShinB was Jessica as at that time Jessica got kicked out of Girls Generation for pursue Fashion Designing. There were a lot of comments saying that Jessica left SNSD to be a member with Gfriend (sounds ridiculous, i know)😂. I mean why would someone give up such a big group, to go and be a member at a brand new group? There are sooooo many rumors and scandals on ShinB and most of them are topics of her copying Jessica, Krystal and shown having bad relationship with the members. I will put the links down here so you can check them out.

"A copy of Jessica," the G-Friend accused attitude "lumpy" with team members.http://kenh14.vn/ban-sao-jessica-nhom-g-friend-bi-to-co-thai-do-loi-lom-voi-thanh-vien-trong-nhom-20160809102109644.chn

"A copy of Jessica," the G-Friend was criticized for smiling, indecent performance.



6. Kim Ye Won (Umji)Vocalist and Maknae of the group. Born in 1998 (17 years old). Height = 163cm (same height with Eunha, both are the       shortest members). I am still not fully done with his topic, I will keep updating, and by the end of this month it will be done (August). I did not any rumours or scandals on Kim Ye Won.

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Extended Play (EP)1ST = Season of Glass2ND = Flower Bud3RD = Snowflake   Studio Album (Fist) = LOL Fan Club name "Buddy"Daum Café -there official websitehttp://cafe.daum.net/gfrdofficial?q=GFRIENDhttp://cafe.daum.net/gfrdofficial?q=GFRIEND  Lastly I want to express my opinion on there first singleGlass Bead! Well when I first saw the Music Video I immediately though of SNSD (GIRLS GENERATION). It looked like they copied part of there choreography from SNSD debut single (Into the World).The song was similar too in some parts. There were a lot of rumors from fans saying that they debuted the same way as SNSD (Copied there debut song). But this single was so big, better then usual debute songs for a debuting group.
