GFRIEND (여자친구) A Tale of the Glass Bead : Previous Story

gfriend are about to get the recognition they DESERVE. their music is underrated bc some of y'all can't look past a "cute concept". their melodies are insane!!

I’ve heard a couple of gfriend’s songs and they’re good, but this trailer made me really wanna check them out more and Stan them

My 2 boys classmate asked me when is the comeback of GFRIEND because they know that I'm a biggest fan of GFRIEND in our class and I was shocked about it because those 2 boys are not that close to me. Well, imma going to spread GFRIEND CHARMS little by little to all of my classmates. I'm gonna make them stan GFRIEND HAHAHAHA

This is make me confused. Why many people just judge or don't like Gfriend because SouMu now under Bighit. Dude, Big Hit doesn't just choose an agency or idol. They see from talent and Gfriend has it. You know only now without seeing how Gfriend struggled before. Where they have to fight for diet, debut and comeback which will be postponed if their dance is not synchronized, judges are everywhere because many think Gfriend has no talent and only Yuju can sing. I'm Big Hit and SouMu stand. Please before giving bad comments to them, just search about their struggle. Did they really deserve to get bad comments?
OF COURSE NOT!

Gfriend in BigHit?? Having the boyband of the moment and one of the best girlgroups? Please, support everything every group does, don't insult them, don't hate them, thay are doing their best♥️

Old theory: *Eunha it's dead*
After seeing this video: *sHe'S thE OnlY oNe aLivE?*

Their concept photos are so good 😭 i got chills

This girl group deserves more recognitions. Honestly they have the most satisfying choreographies and vocals. Gfriend needs more support❣️❣️

Aw, I love how BTS’s, TXT’s and G-friend’s fandoms are bonding so well, this is so beautiful and it is so important to support this people in general ‘cause they are so talented. I will give it a try to G-friend and support them as well! Welcome to family you guys!

I'm here to talk about the trailer.
These six girls have been working very, very hard, trying her best and growing in a family between gfriend and buddy. They are not only talented, but also humble. Gfriend is my favourite group since 2015 and watching this video with all these references melts my heart. I can't wait for this comeback.
Thanks Gfriend, you are amazing. Let's keep together for a promising future (like the past

Others : *Oh, Big hit Is Making GFriend A Theory..*
GFriend : *There's A Place We Need To Go* , *Lets Meet At Crossroads*
- GFriend Already Has Theories Since Debut.. The Videos Here Are From Their MVs (Glass Bead, Love Whisper, Fingertip, Time For The Moon Night)

Who's here after Source Music drop the Concept Photo 'Crossroads'?

*Also for those who don't know. Ever since GFRIEND debuted.. all their MVs are connected and they already had a complex storyline*

It's so weird and feels good at the same time to see a girl group under Bighit. Welcome Gfriend and Buddy. The comeback is gonna be lit as always.
Gfriend = Queens

I Wish *BTS and GFriend* Will Interact Again Like Before..
They Just Suddenly Not Reacting & Interacting To Each Other When People Started Shipping Them, Because Of How They Treat, React, Interact To Each Other..

BTS: Theory
TXT: Theory
GFriend: Theory
Seventeen: Theory
Nuest:Theory
Enhypen:Theory
Me: wtf
Hotel:Trivago

i hope one day in the future all of the fandoms can get along and realize that this isn’t a competition, but more like a family who can all enjoy the music and groups equally.

_Gfriend give us art not just music_

I never clicked so fast when i saw GFRIEND in BIG HIT LABELS. I already know about this but it still got me shoook and i my heart felt with happiness and excitement i dont know but its a mixed emotions i cant explain it tho.

Bang pd : gfriend is an unique group , i will support them no matter what happen
Me : where is your promise papa bear , can u save them?

for the onces confused: bighit acquired source music, which have gfriend as an artist. Source still manages gfriend, bighit has an advisatory role. Hope that explains things.

Gfriend is so natural, that's is the reason why I stan them at the very first place...I watched running Man and got to know Yerin, she was so pure, she didnt act and just showed her true self like a pro and made all running man members laugh on the entire episode...they always said that they did not aim to be famous....they simply wanted to make Buddies happy with their music, their songs...I know all girl groups and boy groups work really hard to debut and to survive in KPOP...but something in Gfriend that caught my attention even my first time listening to Glass Bead...they work extremely hard to be at this level, so please, as a buddy, a very humble and cheerful fandom, we would like all of u to support and respect our girls...they deserve to be loved by the universe

If some of y'all saying GFriend has a storyline only because of BigHit,NO,their storyline is separate and created predebut and has nothing to do with BTS and being under BigHit. GFriend's story is unique and interesting,and if you are only here to hate on them,leave.

I think the chronology is:
Glass bead-mgt-rough-sunrise(represent day by day)-love whisper(earn the power)-navillera(envy on each other)-fingertip(fighting)-summer rain(eunha drop the gift because her members are dead)-tftmn(want to meet each other but cant)-crossroad(turn back time to save their friendship but isnt complete yet)
I heard theory about sunny summer and fever too but i think both songs just focus on summer comeback. Yup queen of summer.

The only reason there’s dislikes is because they were tryna hit the like button but they couldn’t see cause their tears from this plot twist made their eyes blurry

armys : what is this group?
Buddy : what is this channel?

Damn. I guess the theories already started from their debut. I watched all of their MVs up til now, and when I watched this one again I got goosebump.
Yerin's line: "Did I look weak? Did you always worry about me?"
SinB's line: "Like the shining dew in the moonlight, did you feel like I'm gone away?"
Eunha's line: "Do you feel like it's a dream? I'm shining for you." and "With your heartbeat sound, your feelings are delivered."
Sowon's line: "There's nothing I can't achieve only if you're with me."
Umji's line: "Everyday I'm happy with the same dream." and "Shine the bright sunlight on my dark mind, forever."
From Crossroad, we got that Yerin was trying to kill herself in the bathtub. I don't know what makes her do that, but it's like she's so depressed because of Eunha's leaving. I don't want to say Eunha's dead because at their Rough song, Yuju already had a line that said "We're like parallel lines". I still cannot get what happened in their world, but I do believe that Eunha's separated from them 5. At Navillera, we can see that Yerin is so into Eunha, made me think Yerin really treasure Eunha as her closest friend. At the last part of fingertip, we can see how Yerin helps Eunha wake up from the bed. Maybe she's so depressed since TFTMN because she can't meet Eunha. We can see at her box that's untaped yet, she listened to the recorder from the Love Whisper era and she kept Eunha's pink blanket in the box, then cried at TFTMN. At Sunrise, we can see Yerin's trying to call someone in a sad face, means she can't reach the other side of the phone. So since Glass Bead, we already knew that Yerin even asking to them "Did I look weak? Did you always worry about me?" and I guess if I can make scenarios, I will make them answered "YES YOU ARE, it seems like you can't move on since what happened before!". And at Fever, it's like Yerin's trying to go away from them 5. Maybe it's like she already realised that when they're together it's just A DREAM. So she's trying to face the truth that Eunha's gone. They can't be together again. Cactus represents hard protective exterior, its endurance and strength to survive in new environments and situations. The cactus is adaptable and strong. So this means Yerin is already strong enough to face the truth and go back to reality where Eunha is not in their world again. She doesn't want to look weak again like what she said in this MV.
SinB's line represents that Eunha and the 5 of them will be separated if "night" changes into "day" like a shining dew that will gone if day comes.
Eunha's line said "Do you feel like it's a dream?" while Umji's line said that she's happy with the same dream. She's happy when 6 of them are together, no matter if it's just a dream, even if it is just a SAME DREAM over and over again.
Then we can see Eunha's line is "I'm shining for you." while Umji's line is "Shine the bright sunlight on my dark mind, forever." I always believe that there's something with Eunha and Umji. We can see that from Sunrise, only Umji that can solve "Sunrise" sheet music puzzle that Eunha played. And at the final of that MV, we can see Umji played the piano with that sheet music. We can see too from TFTMN, Umji is in the sky background. As she tries to flew away her paper plane but it all fell into the ground. She also tried to jump into "something" but she always been failed. We can see it from her bleeding knees. We can see Yuju was going to the "grave", she brought plushy and flowers. At Love Whisper and Fingertip, plushy always resembles Umji. Maybe the one who died is Umji. Yuju flew away her balloons, maybe to reach Umji in the "sky". And at the final of the MV, we can see that Umji saw someone's standing in front of her. At first, I thought it was Yuju. But maybe, It was Eunha that can travel through time to help Umji from her dead. It resembles from their line at Glass Bead MV. Eunha can bright sunlight on Umji, forever.
We can see Eunha always tried to save their friend by going through time, like in Crossroad and Fingertip. Eunha had line on this MV: "With your heartbeat sound, your feelings are delivered.". Maybe she tried to make them still in their heartbeat, so there will be no regret, so the feeling will always be delivered without regret before they die. It's supported with Eunha's line too at Fever: "Right at this moment, I want to show you without regrets. I just want to make your heart beat."
I'm really getting a goosebump.
Sowon's line is not too important in this MV. But it's like the line resembles that she can always make them reconcile and reunite again, as she always been the one who cures others, especially Yerin, like in TFTMN and Fever. Or she tried to stop Yerin and SinB from catching Eunha as in Fingertip.
Please give me your thought! I will be sooo happy to discuss this theory! Gfriend, BTS, and TXT are awesome!

*im here sitting on the corner thinking what if eunha really is the one who died but she thinks she's the only one alive. We'll never know*

Nobody:
Source Music: Let them create a theory
Buddy: *created a theory*
Bighit: Let them think again.
Buddy: *confused af*

Eunha is the only girl alive and us we thought she was dead, we are not a clowns, we are the entire circus

Who's here after Butterfly Effect? 👀🙋🏻‍♀️

i thought eunha is the dead on tftmn mv but this just contradicts that. definitely eunha is the only one alive who tries to save others through her butterfly. the "where are you" is giving me chills 😭

"Wishing we could turn back time"
*Seokjin has entered the chat*

"Each of us appreciated our own power, but couldn't help being envious of the others"
This line right here
FREAKIN HIT ME THROUGH MY SOUL

What group have a "BUTTERFLY EFFECT"???
.
.
.
.
.
.
YEOJACHINGUUUUUUU!!!!!!

Now, we need that butterfly..😭

"we stand at crossroads" ,if you see at the end of rough mv they said "i will hold your hands at the crossroads" so they will gonna turn back the time to rough and fix their friendships

I stan many gg but Gfriend has such a unique storyline in contrast to other ggs which maked them different no wonder why exactly bighit bought their company. Both companies have such different yet similar storylines for their groups

I watched this like a billion times but I'm still watching this.
I love how soumu is so creative.Gfriend have story behind their mv and music.I like this songs who have story(an ending story) in their music,mystery,theory and so on.I love their mv's ,their mv is a whole story of the 6 girls,every mv are connected .Intelligence,Creativity I love it.😊

I just saw Gfriend labyrinth 'crossroad' concept photo ,it looks like some kind of horror movie😂 they were standing in the same place with different times🙆 theories theories...Gfriend really coming for blood this comeback
I guess it's Gfriend world domination 2020

For new Armys that are getting introduced to Gfriend, I just want to clarify that this is not Big Hit creating a universe for Gfriend, their MVs have always had a parallel theory running through them since Glass Bead which intensified with Navillera up until Sunrise, it's just that this comeback may be the glue that ties them all together. You can argue that this took place (their debut was Jan 2015) before BTS universe which started with I Need U later that year in April. Both theories also have literary references, Gfriend draws from Shakespeare & Greek mythology while I know BTS is heavily inspired by Demian.
What amazes me is how these theories are years in the making, both companies couldn't predict their group's success long enough to reveal the full storyline yet they're both thriving & fans love the guesswork!

Bang PD really said to his best friend "we are going to debut different groups and make the most complex theories out there and somehow connect them" and I stand by that

"Wishing we could turn back time"
this line hits me hard now 🥲😭

Coming back after soumu drop Song Of The Sirens timetable

It’s so weird to see a girl group here but I’m absolutely loving it. So happy we are getting bigger and bigger. Yeah I’m an army but big hit is my home and family. I love and will support all groups and soloists there.
Gfriend is so talented and can’t wait to see what’s next for them. All love and support and good luck girls

"wishing we could turn back time"
GFriend song from 2016: Rough in korean the title is "Running Through Time".
"We stand at a crossroads"
next comeback song from the 回:LABYRINTH album is "Crossroads" :D

I think GFriend comeback this time will be awesome😍, GF Fighting.. 💪🔥

Who came back here after the timeline for the comeback was posted?? Bruuuh caaaant waaaait!!!!

I see more “Ignore the hate comments” comments more than the actual hate comments.
Anyways, I’m literally SO excited that GFRIEND is now under BH. Their choreography is pretty intense (imo) and always fascinating to look at.

*So basically they were best friends ever since they were children.. the lake in love whisper gave them powers but then they became envious of their powers and killed each other (like in fingertip) and eunha was the only one left.. she wants to turn back in to the time where they were still in the crossroads (rough) where envy still doesn't exist in their hearts*

Whenever i am sad and feel loneliness, i always come to gfriend videos. But it makes me happy and sad again for the same time. I miss you my queens.

Later, A tale of the glass beas: butterfly effect. Want to hear that beautiful voice

Plot twist: almost all our theories were wrong, Eunha is the only girl *alive*

Armies helping buddies and not only because they are now on the bighit label but because gfriend is a beautiful, talented group that deserve to be noticed. They deserve everything. Buddies fighting.

IN ENHYPENS TRAILER JAKES SAYS AT 0:27 NOT KNOWING IF IT A BLESSING OR A CURSE, AND HERE 1:34 SHES SAYING WAS THE POWER A BLESSING OR SA CURSE

Stan gfriend for clear skin (⺣◡⺣)♡

BTS songs: about knowing oneself deeper
TXT's songs: about youth and escapism
GFRIEND's songs: friendship and its sides
[ALL SPEAK OF RELEVANT AND TIMELY ISSUES] BRAVO 👏👏👏

BTS:"Past meets future"
Gfriend:"I wish we could turn back time."
Meanwhile TXT:Still gathering dream pieces to build a new TOMORROW.

Gfriend new concept is amazing. They look gorgeous and cold. You can feel the confusion, the pain, their disconnection. There are many things that want to be expressed in a single image and that is very cool. Very good job

rewatching before butterfly effect😍

I am a fan not because they are in bighit now.
I am here becuz I noticed their talents
I am here becuz they caught my eye
I am here not becuz they are the new sister of txt or bts.
I support them whatever they do, want, wished or dreamed of.
I appriciate them just the way they are.
I know they have through so many hard times.
I am proud to be a BUDDY.

TEASER FOR COMEBACK : BUTTERFLY EFFECT ✨❤️❤️❤️

“Wishing we could turn back time.”
Jin: “if you could turn back time, where would you go?”

I hope Big Hit Labels will introduce GFriend to shine in the whole world showing a pure talent in Kpop industry. A pure unique talent, vocals, synchronization dance, visual, and meaningful stories behind their songs and MVs. GFriend is worth it to *stan* , specially our best vocal Yuju. I hope this is the spotlight they deserve to recognize the world how talented they are.
*STAN GFRIEND, STAN TALENT*

No one can replace to Gfriend!!

I hope they will make an intro in the next album. Daytime and belief are my fav intro

I honestly had no idea BigHit bought over GFRIEND’s music label, but hello buddies!!
I love GFRIEND and their songs, but had no idea about theories!!

I'm just happy for Gfriend. They're like a distant sister group of BTS even before bc both their CEOs are friends, Mr. Son also get to choreograph for them... This is just sealing the family closer, I think, Bighit fam is getting bigger! Lets support and have fun together!

I love yerin,she's so kind

Even though this was this year, I feel so nostalgic seeing it again. Such a turning point in the storyline

The great thing about Big Hit taking over is that GFriends stories are about to get way more intense

Just a little reminder, *if* you ever encounter a hate or nonsense comments, just report it, buddies will appreciate this so much, let's all watch this teaser in peace.

Who's here to revise all the theories after the announcement of 回: Song of the Sirens?

Gfriend's storyline is the best.

Who's crying after watching this? This is like the best plot twist ever, and ONLY Gfriend did that, that's explain why I'm crying in the middle of the night omg😭😭😭

"they were born and raised here together'
GOOSEBUMPS

SLICE OF LIFE PART
#1 glass bead = freshmen year
#2 #4 me gustas tu + jpn mv = vacation, school festival (they get a practice room)
# 3 love whisper = a day in their village, yerin's tape, the lake
#5 rough = graduation year (they already have the room)
* based on eunha's hair, lw could be after rough (rough ended well, the girls decided to be together, sowon was going to take the train, maybe they decided to take it together to their hometown in the summer)
TIME TRAVEL PART
#3.1 navillera = alternate universe (confirmed in crossroads?) love whisper timeline (the girls don't remember eunha from their childhood?)
#5.1 time for the moon night = alternate universe (confirmed in crossroads?), the girls are searching for eunha
* eunha's hair and eunha-yerin-sinb love triangle dynamics could help to find the linearity
DREAM LAND
fingertip = eunha's dream anticipating their conflict (eunha wakes up with a tear in the end)
sunrise = sinb's dream (because of her tear in the end? she was sleeping) it's more idyllic than eunha's space opera dream. they are trying to remember that eunha existed? they remember that's someone's (a girl) birthday.
AFTER GRADUATION / ENTERING ADULT LIFE
#6 crossroads = the actual conflict
#7 summer rain / fallin' light = the aftermath, the music videos where they are separated
#8 memoria = they stand at the crossroads and did their decision (is it the end?)
SPIN-OFF
#5.2 sunny summer = a day remembering eunha, a gift to buddies referencing the storyline
PERFORMANCE VIDEOS
#0 fever
#0 flower

I'm so excited for the comeback i cant wait😭😭

The naration really touch my heart. How can people hating on them so much. How can people so envy on their existance. You did well girls. Please be happy and healty always. Your so precious

Even though I'm not a part of this fandom, I'm leaving a like on this video because they deserve all the support they can as a growing group. Spread the love for people so they can blossom instead of shutting them down before they can bloom! 💜

I'm rewatching this because of the song of sirens, and I just lost all my braincells. Heeeelllpppppp

it have been a few months since this one came out but I still got the goosebumps.I literallly crying that these girls finally deserve the world.They been in rough time way too long.

*THIS KILLED ALL THE OTHER THEORIES ESPECIALLY EUNHA DEAD THEORY...* they were actually envious of each other and killed each other and eunha was the only one left so she tryna get them all back...

"we were divided, our backs turned on each other"
please don't make me cry

Whooo they are so Beautiful! The teaser photos already came out

I CAME HERE AFTER FINDING OUT 'Tale Of The Glass Bead: Butterfly Effect' IS GOING OUT ON THE 28TH OF JUNE

Fun Fact of GFRIEND's humble beginnings:
Their first practice room was a small basement
Their CEO sacrificed his house to debut Gfriend
GFRIEND were criticized for wearing cheap wardrobes.
They have to deal with hardships ALONE with no Senior Groups to strengthen them.
As soon as Me Gustas Tu hit the charts the outpour of love made them strong.
If someone hurt you by saying you are ugly, unnatural, fake
Ask Umji, Eunha and YERIN how they dealt with the hate comments
you will learn from them with True beauty, Positivity and Humility.
If you fail 8times ask YUJU how she got up 9x
If you are tired ask SINB how she endured the pain while doing her passion.
If you lost someone valuable ask Sowon how,she smiled and moved on.
GFRIEND IS THE OTHER SIDE of the universe that needs to be tapped with appreciation.
Be kind to everyone because each of us is fighting the hardest,battles.

As a buddy, i was afraid to see the comment section, but when i see it, all of them are nice, thank youuuuuuu everyone 😔😔😔😔

come here after source music dropped the timetable . we'll be getting another a tale of the glass bead : butterfly effect in two days 👀

Their concept photo is so pretty! And I noticed it was like a darker version of Glass Bead, and they really stand at the the crossroads in the photo. Reel? Run? Black? Eunha? Remind me of Rough, Time For The Moon Night and Love Whisper!

Me as a Buddy, I am crying right now really---. Seeing in the comments that most of the Army's and Moa's are trying their best to support Gfriend? I cant hold back my tears. All I can say is Thank you so much. Lots of love 💜💜💜

Just a teaser and not even half of a day passed, look at the views and likes 😭I hope the comeback mv will reach its goals. 😍It's so great to see all positive comments here. I'm emotional ☺💛

Who are here after soumu dropped the crossroads concept photo teaser? They look so stunning 😭 I luv them more and more 💜❤

the feeling of this world is lost without you

Any other Buddies start crying tears of joy because our girls are being treated so special now with this new artistic vision? I mean, always have been artistic, but this is a new spin on things. They feel like my babies. I've watched them grow up from Glass Bead to now, and this new film/story is so cool! I'm excited for them to have a universe/storylines like BTS does. Whatever they do, I support, because they've been true to themselves. Soumu has done an amazing job in my opinion with each comeback. To me, there's no other group like them. They're unique. I am multifandom, so I love other groups with different concept, but G-Friend is my bias gg. Can't wait for their cb!! Edit to add: I'm aware their MVs have always had some connected story threads, which I could barely wrapy mind around. It's just so nice to have this additional separate video now helping us catch up with those connections, and English voice over too. The quality is so good and I'm happy because these girls truly deserve the world 💖

“Wishing we could turn back time.”
GUYS THEY ARE GOING BACK AND WE WILL BE GETTING POWERFUL INNOCENT I'M SO HAPPY.

How many times have you watched this teaser?
Me: yes

can't wait for more theories in the near future 💙💜
