Also today is parents day in Korea i think. Not a proper holiday but yet a holiday somehow.

May is according to weekly idol,the month of festivals and one of worst times for coming back. The girls would easily break their 1st week sales record without holidays. They are doing extremely well despite a lot of off days

I thought the MGT album include LW? As for another Japan Cb I'm not so sure. I know august they having a mini concert. If they going to release something during that time, I hope is a single then summer-fall comeback. 

You mean physical sales or digital cause MGT album not officially release yet

Yes for Yerin she still keeping her hair healthy as I think I saw a k-buddy asked Yerin whether she intend to dye her hair brown again. Yerin replied after her hair condition is healthy

I think it didnt release digitally either. It seems to be mv only.

i wish more kpop fans in the us loved gfriend..i keep meeting kpop fans irl but they only really know b*s, sn*d, tw*ce, or other sm groups..obviously i don't mind those groups either but like..i need more buddy friends :cry:

Yea tbh gf has a really low hype among ifans as a top group. Could be bcz they dont have a ifan-friendly concept and are neither from big 3.

Well it has to do both with concept and agency privilege imo. Tw*ce is pretty popular among ifans comparef to gf,but they had potential for WAY more if they had a girl crush concept. Meanwhile dreamca*cher and B*S who come from smaller agencies are p popular among ifans thanks to the concept.

 

As for the childish perverted concept and how it attracts horny men,i doubt its so easy to judge. I mean this thread and threads of other ggs with cute concepts are filled with female stans rather than male ones.

Its just that girl group fandoms inside korea are mostly consisted of guys. Bp's fandom too,has more male members even tho they are a "girl crush" group.

I doubt all male fans view their bias group in that way. It could be that a few do. But im just more than fine with Japanese me gustas tu,since it has to do with Asian culture and the girls THEMSELVES are comfortable with it. Didnt yerin say she loves to wear her school uniform? She did. Thats what matters.

 

Its really hard to judge a whole country's culture,it may have a few flaws,who knows. But its not like other cultures including the western culture dont have their own flaws. Im saying this as an ifan's view

Could Gfriend pull off a sexy concept? Not saying they should or would.

Could? Imo yes they could. Even Umji who is the group's cutie has hidden sexy charms that shows sometimes. They arent as sexy as lets say... ao* or ex*d members but they have potential

 

However,would? I say no. That would be making ur korean fandom run away by something done by yourself. No other gg with a sexy concept has a fandom as big as gfriend. They sadly dont have much potential for gaining a fandom,its all abt public recognition which usually lasts short when comes to sexy concepts

Does it feel like buddies are bragging too much? Not about being #1 on Melon but there have been so many threads about new peaks and stability and longevity. I guess it shows that buddies, without really admitting it, were really distressed by the performance of the last three songs before TFTMN. 

Ngl sometimes it's hard to be humble when achievements start to come. But I don't think these threads are bragging at all. I have been lurking on OH for long and as soon as navillera promos ended a lot of people started saying gfriend is over. With the digital under performance in 2017 they became worse and I think even buddies who don't know much abt charts would become somehow stressed. Maybe even some people that don't care abt charts would be brainwashed that gfriend is flop. This is imo somehow needed to inform everyone abt how gfriend is still as powerful as ever. 

 

Edit: Also gratz on the #1 my gfriend <3

Hmm.. maybe?   I think it has a lot to do with the copious amount of threads prior to this release detailing "Gflop" or how Gfriend shouldn't be counted as a top girl group anymore.  And then the slow start to this song I think a lot of us thought that the last few releases weren't just low-charting relative to how Gfriend usually performs, but maybe a new normal.  Like maybe Gfriend was a mid-tier group and that was something we'd have to accept.  So the fact that TFTMN has actually been a huge hit has maybe inflated some of our egos a little bit.  It's just a lot of excitement right now, but it'll cool down by next week I think.

 

Edit: I want to add that I don't think there's anything wrong with being a mid-tier group; I really believe in what the girls told us at the beginning of the comeback: to not worry and just enjoy the comeback.  It doesn't matter to me that much if the girls get PAKs and double-digit wins, but I do think switching away from it is something that needs adjustment when we sort of come off a high.  I don't know if I'm articulating myself well, but like... I guess it all is just pride in disproving antis and solidifying that Gfriend is a group with such good recognition.

I kinda know what you mean but even after the 2017 digital under performance I wouldn't call gfriend a mid tier gg. P sure i saw gfriend_part account translate articles about how they are still a top tier gg last year. 

I just think at this rate,the gp didn't enjoy 2017 releases as much as previous ones. Love Whisper was given a good chance by Koreans and topped all charts except mnet. I don't think a mid tier group would be given such a chance. The song just didn't keep the longevity bcz the gp didn't enjoy it as much.
