• GFRIEND Clears the Air About Their Reunion After 4 Years: "We Never Disbanded, It Was Just the End of Our Contract"

    GFRIEND is back together after four years, and they have a lot to share about their long-awaited reunion.

    On the 10th episode of KBS 2TV's The Seasons - Lee Young Ji's Rainbow, GFRIEND made a special appearance as guests, where they opened up about their break and comeback.

    Sowon from GFRIEND set the record straight, saying, "There were many articles referring to a disbandment, but it was not a disbandment. It was the end of our contract. It wasn't a disbandment." This clears up any confusion, as GFRIEND reunited after a four-year break.

    Umji also shared her thoughts, saying, "The 10th anniversary is significant and meaningful. We’ve always thought, even subconsciously, that we should do something monumental to mark it."

    The members also took a trip down memory lane and recalled their early days, including a memorable stage mishap. Yuju recalled falling several times during their debut performance due to heavy rain, which earned her the nickname "Kkwadang Yuju" (a playful reference to her falls). She laughed and shared, "It started raining heavily as soon as our stage began. I thought it was an accident as I got on stage. The members couldn’t make it to the center, everyone was slipping, and I fell the most dramatically."

    Yuju revealed one of her strengths and weaknesses, saying, "I don’t feel pain well. So I just went with it. One of the things I’m good at is self-hypnosis. Every time I fell on stage, I just thought to myself, 'No one saw that.'"

    GFRIEND's reunion is more than just a celebration of their anniversary—it's a return to the group they’ve always been. Fans are excited to see what’s next for these talented stars.

  • Former BB Girls Star Yujeong Makes Solo Debut, Talks About Her Iconic Laugh and 'Rollin' Success

    Yujeong, former member of BB Girls, has officially made her solo debut, marking a new chapter in her career!

    On January 19th, Yujeong appeared on MBC's King of Masked Singer, where she faced off against the reigning champion, "Flower-scented Perfume", in a thrilling second-round match.

    Yujeong, performing under the name "Handbell", sang Na Yoon Kwon's "Expectation", but despite her efforts and praise from the original artist, she didn’t make it to the third round, earning 79 votes.

    It was then revealed that the talented "Handbell" was none other than Yoojung, the star behind BB Girls' iconic "Rollin’" chart reversal.

    After leaving BB Girls in April 2024, Yoojung has been pursuing her solo career, and King of Masked Singer marked her first solo stage performance. She confessed, "I realized I’ve never sung alone on stage since debut. It’s really nerve-wracking."

    During the show, the MC praised Yoojung for her contribution to BB Girls’ success, especially the viral hit “Rollin’” and her memorable "Kkobukjwa" laugh, which helped the group rise to fame.

    However, Yujeong humbly gave credit to all the members, saying, "I don’t think it was just me, but all the members worked hard for it. I have a loud laugh, and when I was in school, I often got scolded by teachers. I think people loved me because my laughter made them smile, so I will keep laughing more in the future."

    Yujeong also shared a touching moment from her time with BB Girls, recalling a special fan gift from a soldier. "

    "There was a soldier who drew my face exactly the same and gave it to me as a gift. I cried a lot looking at the pencil marks and eraser marks all over the paper. I was so grateful," she said.

    Looking ahead, Yujeong is ready for her solo journey, sharing, "I’m preparing a solo album. I’m also challenging myself with various variety shows, MC roles, and acting, so I hope you will continue to watch and support me."
