1. [+628, -39] I remember they debuted with a similar concept to SNSD, that INTW concept.

2. [+520, -42] They have a very fresh concept that isn't too stimulating. And they're rookies who you can tell work very hard. I hope they become a long lasting group without losing their roots.

3. [+77, -9] In an industry where girl groups all try to show off their bodies by accentuating their chests and butts with embarrassing dances, Girlfriend's clean, bright songs make them the quintessential idol group. Their songs are already popular so they just need to get their individual names known now.

 

4. [+57, -45] Umji is so ugly though...

5. [+56, -13] The reason this group was able to get themselves known with a similar concept to SNSD is because their CEO used to work for SM and was Super Junior's manager. They got to use SM's training room and the CEO is still friends with Lee Soo Man ã…‹ if any other idol had tried to copy SNSD, they would've been sued.

6. [+51, -32] What a time to be alive, a group with visuals like theirs can be a girl group in this world ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ that first screencap is just...

7. [+48, -3] Their CEO was originally an SM staff, pretty sure he was behind the planning for SNSD's debut too so of course the two groups are similar

8. [+39, -3] I remember this CEO failed hard with Glam last year... looks like he's back with Girlfriend

Why people always try to downplay others achievements and cant simply congratulate? Its a disease I swear...I honestly dgaf about their looks or whether their CEO got that SM connection or not. They worked hard and now they´re getting it so just congratulate and keep streaming rough on Melon.

They wouldn't do this if there weren't people thirsty for it and willing to pay that $$$ and attention to see it continue.

 

Just congratulate Gfriend without bringing down other women. Honestly.

They are relatable, work hard, and aren't provocative (they're safe). They gve Koreans the warm& fuzzies just when they weren't expecting any Their next song needs to sound a little bit different though. If they come back with more of the same, the spell is going to wear off fast.

This double standard is really getting old. The KNetz need some new material. 

 

It's deplorable for girl groups to show off the bodies they worked extremely hard for and they're an embarrassment, but I never see any netizens complain when boy group members go shirtless, show off their abs, pelvic thrust or engage in homoerotic fanservice (I can think of a few hypocrites guilty of this)

 

I'm just tired of reading this dumb shit.

 

And while we're on the subject of hypocrisy, it's hilarious how some Netizens (people here included) will complain on and on about K-Pop being too much about visuals and not about talents, song and performance yet all anyone can do these days is bash GFriend for their looks (and they're all pretty girls btw)

 

This shit is getting old.

I'm really sick of bandwagon Knetz always downplaying GFriend's looks, especially Umji.

 

You would think Umji had Kaotan like visuals with the way they trash her looks.

DIS SFM! remember those articles mentioning their fckn NOSE, like how desperate are you to bash someone's NOSE on the most popular web forum?

Knetz need a hard slap on their face to realize that sometimes 'average looking' is pretty as well

oh i didn't know that, i thought they are from big hit only

Bighit was only responsible for their music and iirc bts' rap line helped in writing their songs (?) i don't know if I'm correct since its been years already. BH only have bts and homme ever since.

 

OT:

They're pretty tho and umji is cute, wth are these people talking about? Lol

SM staff ceo, bad looks, INTW debut - none of it matters because it doesn't take away from the fact that they are still incredibly talented ladies who deserve all this success and more.

agreed, I don't know why K-Netizens sound so bitter. That one K-Netizen going all "a group with those visuals can be a girl group in this world haha" well yeah, a pretty face doesn't make good music, I still can't get over how shallow and pressed they all sound.

 

Whatever, wait until GFriend gets even bigger and the girls grow older you K-Netizens

hoes will be worshipping GFriend soon enough
