Gfriend...

Gfriend was overworked

What are the chances of Lil Uzi creating a label for Gfriend?

Quote from politicianist

considering members are still very young with the average age of 23, it can't be said that "they now want to do something different with their life" considering some idols starts their career when they're 23, 24 years old

That's quite a flawed reasoning.

i know y'all won't take this seriously thinking im trolling but im putting this for the record so i can revive this thread once the news breaks out

gfriend was a succesful group with moderate success, it was enough to maintain a company and members had good reputation, for the last 6 years they have good album sells for a mid-level girl group; they had decent amount of awards too.

considering members are still very young with the average age of 23, it can't be said that "they now want to do something different with their life" considering some idols starts their career when they're 23, 24 years old

in their goodbye letters, none of them promised a proper plan about what they will be doing after their group, usually they announce things like "anticipate my solo" or promote their upcoming acting schedule. members sounded totally lost

their last song was not a flop and it was still in the spotlight, i never see succesful groups disbanding like this, it was only sistar who disbanded while they could continue producing bops and hits but they stated they had other plans, meanwhile gfriend stated nothing?

what about umji deleting pics with hybe from her instagram account right after leaving?

when a group disbands even if its very sudden like with pristin or expected like 2ne1 atleast few members stay in their company, even if they disappear from public eye after that, no one stayed in source music?

also many employees left source music too, so this is not just about members too

what do you think?

Correction: GFriend was a successful group with moderate sales volume

Could IT be that current Style in kpop don't fit GFriend. (Composition, Lyrics,)

I don't know much but it feels like they were forced to leave it sucks

Quote from politicianist

also Gfriend could do popular CLC type of girlcrush very easily

But the Korean gp mostly prefers innocent, maiden looking GFriend.

Since they have grown up, they can join a new label and rename themselves "WIFE". :)

At the least let's make it "YFU"

But yeah, I agree with OP, it feels like there's something amiss with Source Music, and I get the feeling that GFriend's departure and contract cancellation (or non-extending of the contract) was more abrupt than some had expected.

I'm really curious why they disbanded too, and I hope we can get some answers soon. I'm personally leaning towards one of these 3:

- They plan on taking the group to a different label, bc they think they'll be managed better there.

- Source didn't want them anymore (maybe bc they think they'll have their hands full with their new GG?)

- Some of the members want to take their careers in a different direction (going solo, trying a different genre, or stop being an idol altogether).

I saw it on the home page, apparently you could see in the interviews that they were extremely tired. Many said that they were probably overworked.

its true.

I don't know what happened but yes no one staying in the company and no one giving any clue on what is going on and what is going to happen is definitely fishy.

Overworking is definitely a possibility but even then i would have though at least 1 member would have stayed (like Sowon, Yerin or Umji/Eunha).

I don't think success and age really matter in this case as they did earn a lot of money already and they probably privilege what they really want to do over the most profitable solutions.

Also no way source didn't want them, not in a million years.
