Girlfriend revealed their honest feelings about the disbandment rumors.

On the 19th, Girlfriend met with fans by holding their 10th anniversary solo concert ‘Season of Memories’ at the Olympic Hall in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul. It has been 4 years since all 6 members performed on stage together since their exclusive contract with their former agency Source Music ended in 2021.

During their encore performance, they took time to look back on the preparations for the 10th anniversary concert and the past 10 years in front of their fans.

Member Sinbi said, “I feel like crying because it‘s the last day. The 10th anniversary concert has a special meaning for us. We’ve always said that we should definitely do a 10th anniversary project, and I‘m really proud and thankful to our members who actually made it happen. It’s not easy to keep our promises and get together while doing our own activities,“ he said.

She continued, ”I‘m also grateful to the Source Music staff who readily listened to our opinions. In fact, working together again for our 10th anniversary with Source Music felt like coming home. I felt comfortable and didn’t have to adjust anything. We prepared for our 10th anniversary comfortably. We thought a lot about how we could quench Buddies‘ thirst. Thank you for waiting in the same place for 4 years. Let’s continue to be happy in the future. Thank you for waiting, I‘m sorry, and I love you.“

Yerin said, ”I want to tell Buddies that I’m grateful for the past 10 years. I didn‘t know how to express it beyond words, so I just wanted to show them on stage. But today is the 3rd day of the concert, so I wanted to be more passionate. I wanted to work harder, but I’m sorry that my knees aren‘t in good condition.“ She shed tears as she said, ”Before, it was just fun to make eye contact with the members on stage, but now I’m so happy.“

Also, hinting at the disbandment rumors that arose when the exclusive contract with the agency Source Music ended four years ago, she said, ”There were many things that happened four years ago, but there were complicated stories that can‘t be summarized in one word. The Buddies must have been frustrated. I hope they can forget their heavy hearts and only be happy,“ and explained, ”Source Music CEO So Sung-jin let us do this project. I’m really grateful.“

Meanwhile, GFriend, who held a concert in Seoul for three days from the 17th to the 19th, will be going on an Asian tour in five cities: Osaka, Japan on March 9th, Yokohama, Japan on the 11th, Hong Kong on the 14th, Kaohsiung on the 22nd, and Taipei on the 29th.
