In an exciting announcement on September 24, 2024, it has been confirmed that the beloved K-pop girl group GFRIEND will be reuniting to celebrate their 10th anniversary. This marks their first reunion in four years, and fans are buzzing with anticipation for the project set to debut in January 2025, promising a heartfelt gift of memories for their loyal fanbase, known as BUDDIES.

The reunion project is designed to bring joy and nostalgia to fans, reflecting the deep bond between GFRIEND and their supporters. The message from Source Music, the group's management company, invites fans to eagerly await what’s in store and to show their unwavering support.

Despite the excitement, not all reactions have been entirely positive. A significant portion of the fandom remains conflicted due to the history between GFRIEND and Source Music. Many fans still harbor resentment over the abrupt disbandment of the group in May 2021. Reports from that time indicated that the members were just as caught off guard as their fans, with former leader Sowon stating they had no prior knowledge of the disbandment.

Comments from fans express a mix of anger and affection toward the management. Some fans voice their disdain for Source Music, reflecting on feelings of betrayal while hoping that the company will treat the members well this time around.

"Incredible mixed feelings; it’s great to see them together again, but can I really trust Source Music?" wrote one fan, symbolizing the dilemma that many face. Another stated, "I want nothing but the best for them, but part of me is still angry."

Regardless of these mixed emotions, the group's dedicated fanbase seems to be rallying together, eager to hear the new music and celebrate the decade-long journey of GFRIEND. As the reunion draws nearer, the anticipation builds, reminding everyone of GFRIEND’s significant impact on the K-pop landscape.

Stay tuned for more updates as GFRIEND gears up for what promises to be a memorable celebration! Will this reunion heal the wounds from the past, or will it continue to stir up old feelings? Only time will tell!
