Not Extending Contract with Agency, GFRIEND's Old Interview about Source Music Comes into Spotlight Again

Kapanlagi.com - An official announcement from Source Music has recently caused a stir on social media. This is because the agency has released an official statement stating that the girl group GFRIEND will not extend their contract with them.

In the statement that was released, it was confirmed that GFRIEND's contract will officially end on May 22, 2021. Unable to reach an agreement, the members consisting of Eunha, Sowon, Yuju, Umji, SinB, and Yerin have chosen to leave the agency that has been supporting them for the past 6 years.

In the midst of this surprising news, GFRIEND fans, known as Buddies, are once again highlighting their old interview. The interview took place when GFRIEND was a guest on the YouTube content MMTG, hosted by MC JaeJae.

1. There is No Break Even When Sick

Not without reason, because in the interview GFRIEND spoke up about their agency. It was revealed that they worked very hard and were not given any rest time at the beginning of their career.

Yuju mentioned this while reminiscing about the moment after pulling out her wisdom tooth. She thought she could rest for a while, but Source Music didn't give her any break time at all.

2. Traumatic Stage Actions

Not only Yuju, another member named Sowon also expressed her bad experience because she still had to go on stage. The experience at that time traumatized her and the other members because they had to perform in heavy rain and a stage filled with insects.

"Everyone must have a fear of insects, and there are some people who even have phobias, I am one of them. I still went on stage and tried to forget my fear. I don't know how I managed to finish our performance. When I got off the stage, the other members did their best, while I felt so guilty that I couldn't even lift my head," she said.

Because of that interview, GFRIEND fans in Korea felt heartbroken when they realized the mistreatment their favorite idol group received. Well, what do you think about it?
