Did gfriend benefit from kpop boost and hybe connection?

I have heard that they are popular in Korea but not really internationally maybe that's why

idk are they popular?

they got a little hype and people were talking about their revival after Bighit acquired them but it never happened

One of the top

I feel like Big Hit never truly got behind them. I've always held that Gfriend lends itself more to the Japanese market.

Not much I guess?

Not after that Sowon controversy

I don’t know a lot about them.. but their position seems vague to me... hardly ever anyone talk about them

It's a part of kpop unfortunately. They were popular at their peak, but now people have moved on. They still have a core fandom but I don't see them breaking records anymore, and that's okay. They've also done some style changes which led to less interest but I think this style suits the members more.

They aren't popular anymore. Back in 2015-2016 they had big hits. They were a competition to twice.

But nowadays they are way past their prime and lost their popularity.

MAGO received a lot of hype from all over the international K-pop community, but I'd have to see their next comeback to say for sure. Their sales were decent last year, but they're just kinda there in terms of the GG hierarchy.

Their peak was too short... the members are still young maybe hybe could help who knows

I know :(((

I don't think so. It's like Seventeen, people don't really see them as a 'Hybe' group.

Mmm people don't really see them as a hybe full blood group. That sounds very funny lmaoo but it's true - unless a group debuted AFTER hybe acquired the said company then people don't pay much attention. I think gfriend definitely gained some fans but nothing big happened
