GFRIEND to take control of the summer of 2018… Confirmed comeback on the 19th


Girl group GFRIEND has confirmed that they will make a comeback on the 19th.

GFRIEND posted a teaser image foretelling their comeback on the 19th through their official SNS at midnight on the 5th.
This is the first super-fast comeback in three months since "Time for the moon night" released on April 30th.
In the released image, 6 ice creams are lined up against a refreshing background, giving a sense of GFRIEND's bouncy and lively atmosphere.
In another image, the red cassette player and skateboard create a retro atmosphere, and the concept of the new album arouses interest.
GFRIEND presents a group logo that matches the concept of each album, and the new logo in this teaser image, which is reminiscent of the midsummer sun, catches the eye.
In particular, GFRIEND solidified its position as the 'Summer Queen' with 2015's ``Kyo Kara Us'', 2016's ``You and Me'', and 2017's ``Whisper of the Heart''. rice field.

GFRIEND will make a comeback for the first time in three months since "Time for the moon night" released on April 30th. Two or three years ago, even a comeback once every six months felt too early, but these days, it's not uncommon for comebacks to last three months.
Of course, there are no solo singers who make comebacks with such frequency. This is limited to group music that sells well overseas.

Popular groups such as TWICE in 1 and BTS in 2 have created this trend. Both have many fans not only in Korea but also in Japan and other countries.
If they have many fans in both Japan and South Korea, they are naturally popular in other countries as well.
　TWICE and BTS can sell if they release a CD. Every concert hall is packed. There are always fans everywhere they go.
I can't say that I'm going to take time to create good music with good performances after seeing their flashy activities. Popular groups accelerate their activities more and more, and if you take your time, a new group will appear behind you and debut more and more. Even if you sit still, your energy will be exhausted.
Last summer, GFRIEND achieved great results with their consecutive comebacks. Since then, he seems to have deepened his confidence and made his debut in Japan on an overseas tour, and the pace of his comeback has also increased.


"Time for the moon night" released on April 30th clearly showed their growth.


A few days ago, Apink made a comeback for the first time in a while, and when I saw their "I'm So Sick" stage, I wondered if there was something I got from GFRIEND.
GFRIEND is, of course, a girl who has absorbed many parts from Apink's style, but as a young girl, she has development potential.
It wouldn't be surprising if there were parts that were learned from the process of GFRIEND's success.

If the activity of GFRIEND and Apink spreads, the "pure" soil may bring the fruits of revival.
"If the soil is not agitated, it will bear little fruit."
"It's welcome that the two will compete fiercely."
