I know it's early to speculate, but what are you guys hoping for for their summer comeback?

It's never too early! I'm already thinking about their comeback next year lol.

1. I would like them to write their lyrics. I think it's less SouMu now and more the members and their perfectionism.

2. Crossroads really established their sound and style firmly, so I think they can experiment a bit more if they want too. That said, they could still retain their style and make it work for summer well. Fever and Sunny Summer were okay, but not quite the level of MGT or Navillera. However, I don't want them trying to recreate an older hit. I feel like Sunrise and Crossroads were trying to do that a bit and it just made folks bored despite them being decent songs. Hyolyn's Sea See sound is something I could imagine them singing.

3. I'd like the MV to be a bit outdoors. I don't know how well that would work with COVID but other idols seem to be doing it a bit. I didn't like that for a summer release, Fever and Sunny Summer were box sets only. I wouldn't mind it if it's a great performance MV like Chungha's Stay Tonight is though.

I was okay with Crossroad's MV. I'm glad they got the story MV they always wanted but I like a mix of story and performance. Rough hits that sweet spot for me.

It'll be interesting to see how it goes or what changes. Many groups like OMG, April, Gidle, and Apink are hitting new heights in their career and I think Gfriend has so much potential still as well, just like them!

Edit: Should add that no GFRIEND song makes me think of summer more than Gone With the Wind

 

1. an outdoor MV would be nice, assuming they could follow all the necessary health and safety precautions.  not sure if i'd want a typical beach/pool theme, as i feel like those concepts are well saturated in the summer months anyway and it wouldn't really help them stand out.  that being said, if any time is the right time to have their "party" or "DTNA" moment...why not now? lmao
2. genre-wise...i feel like the girls haven't had a consistent summer identity since love whisper...like even though they were referred to once as the "new queens of summer" (post-S*STAR), sunny summer under-performed and fever ventured away into an aesthetic and sound that didn't match their previous work at all (and even though i still like the song well enough, it hasn't aged nearly as well as i'd hoped).  they don't need to be the same teen group they were in 2015/2016, but can i get a refreshing retro feel?  like navillera mixed with LW? that would be amazing
3. if we are limited to indoor sets/concepts...i honestly have no idea. 

what about you, po?

For an indoor mv... what if they like were all working in an office and tried to make each other feel better about missing the sunny weather outside by turning their office into a pseudo-summer escape or something?  That'd be cute.  And Sowon can be their boss and get fake mad at them for not working (but really she wants to be outside too).  It'd be fitting because we're all dreaming about being outside rn. 

gfriend essential-workers!AU where all they want is to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air but instead it's a rainy apocalypse outside and no one can buy anything good for their packed lunches anymore....

yeah maybe soumu shouldn't hire me for their MV, i'm projecting a bit too much

...this article kinda rubs me the wrong way lol.

like, this isn’t even specific to gfriend? plenty of groups have this issue and some have it even worse (remember the ot9 days of s n s d with s**young?).  guess koreaboo must be bored lmao.  and tbh if anything gfriend’s line distribution has only gotten more fair, just look at the fever graph

JULY JULY JULY JULY JULY

how we feeling, buddies?

are we ready for the girls to save the summer?

[love]

since we were talking about it

 

don't worry btw, most of the comments are very positive and even the one or two that think she looks "different" are tame and not really mean.

i honestly think yuju just likes lipstick and drawing over her cupids bow these days...we all know she loves g/i/d/l/e, maybe s**jin has been an influence, hehe

I'm not sure if this should go under spoiler or not, so I will, just to be safe.

tbh I honestly think it is fillers just b/c of the size (even comparing crossroads to say.. fingertip) in addition to the overlining, which really isn't the end of the world, because it's not that invasive or harmful.   Honestly, if she likes the look and is happy then I'm happy (and honestly, I think the Chung*a/S**jin big lip look is really really cute, like honestly some of my favorite visuals lmao), but I saw a lot of the hate Chung*a has gotten with her use of fillers and botox, and I'd rather Yuju not have to experience that (which I think she will if she fills them any more).

Spoiler

i can see fillers for her face, especially her cheeks and chin...maybe i'm just not seeing the lips since i know how popular it is for girls to use lipliner/lipstick to completely change the shape of their upper and lower liplines...and yeah, as long as she is happy and not being coerced into it/feeling as if she HAS to do ps, i'm all for it.  her face, her choice.

i just hope yuju is happy, and i still think she looks beautiful

So With Kingdom airing I’m watching a lot of the performances along with older Queendom ones. Part of it is groups redoing their older songs in a new way.
If they did another season of QD and Gfriend went on it, what song of theirs would you guys want them to reimagine?

i feel like the top candidates would be MGT, Rough, and TFTMN. I personally feel Rough is too perfect as it is to redo in an interesting way. TFTMN would be neat, but my pick goes to MGT since it’s one of their oldest songs so it would be cool to see how they did it today.

i would like them to maybe try navillera or glass bead

sowon is now verified as well! ^_^

about to preorder all three versions AGAIN
