About GFRIEND
GFriend (stylized in all caps; Korean: 여자친구; RR: Yeojachingu) was a South Korean girl group
formed by Source Music in 2015. The group consisted of six members: Sowon, Yerin, Eunha, Yuju,
SinB, and Umji. They debuted with the extended play (EP) Season of Glass on January 15, 2015 and
won several female rookie awards, garnering momentum early on despite being from a small
company.
GFriend continued their commercial success the next year with their third EP, Snowflake, whose
lead single "Rough" won first place on numerous music shows. They released their first studio
album, LOL, in 2016 as well. In 2017, GFriend returned with their fourth EP, The Awakening, for
which pre-orders exceeded 100,000 copies. The same year, the group released their fifth EP,
Parallel, which was re-issued one month later under the title Rainbow.
In 2018, GFriend released their sixth EP, Time for the Moon Night, and the special EP Sunny
Summer. They also made their official Japanese debut with the compilation album GFriend 1st
Best, held their first concert, and embarked on their first Asian tour. In 2019, GFriend
released their second studio album, Time For Us, and their seventh EP, Fever Season. The group's
final releases were part of the "回" series in 2020, which included two EPs and their third
studio album. That year, GFriend became the first-ever girl group to be interviewed for the
Grammy Mini Masterclass. They disbanded on May 22, 2021, after all members left Source Music
upon the conclusion of their contracts. Eunha, SinB, and Umji later formed the group Viviz in
2022, after signing with BPM Entertainment.
