GFriend -- Crush
https://youtu.be/NCjnK_6Y3GY?si=n15lK5w6VBKrF0nVI thought I had posted "Crush" before, but a search of my posts does not bear this out, so I am delighted to to be able to post this one syllable titled track.
I love the combination of strings and funky guitar here, and the quirky swing sound works so well with the choreography. This could have been a title track. Another winning e.one creation!
Everybody looks pretty here, but I must note how absolutely adorable I find Eunha with her bob.

Thank you for setting this up @Erzbet . I appreciate your doing this every week.
I like a lot of Kpop songs with one word titles, so I imposed two additional constraints on my selection:
- not just a one word title, but a one syllable word.
- a track that I have not posted before.
So I came up with
GFRIEND -- GLOW
https://youtu.be/yNHSApmeaEY?si=jetWwUjDhOUfBrCjEven though the video quality is not the best and Eunha's hair is not in the bob I love so much, the outfits win me over.

GFriend -- La Pam Pam
https://youtu.be/HfGcy3s56V4?si=bn6jyQZxdu6aZE1eThis Japanese original was released as the B side for the Japanese version of "Sunrise". I am always grabbed by Eunha's opening vocals and the strings.
A great GFriend track -- I only wish there had been an MV to go with it.

I don't watch that many reaction videos, let alone post them, but seeing these four young Australians discover GFriend was a delight.

Had to perform a disgusting bathroom clean up procedure, so now consoling -- or is it rewarding? -- myself by drinking a mug of hot tea, eating a bar of Trader Joe's milk chocolate, and watching one of my favourite GFriend fancams:

Not fully animated, but this is the first MV that came to mind.
For one, it came out at this time last year, and two, it borrows a lot from Japanese rock styles that dominate anime opening themes.
Also, I like trains. 😝

One of my favourite GFriend songs from a playlist of mine which I had on shuffle.
I like the outfits here. I wish Eunha would still wear boots like these, but these days she seems to prefer the style clunky chunky.

A GFriend classic - the title in Korea translates as "Running through time":
GFriend -- Rough
https://youtu.be/r_6q_-d-7Sk?si=OkJFJXGlMVkXi9sl>> I wasn't able to tell you but I liked you
Like a dream from the younger days, like a miracle
If I could run through time and become an adult
I will hold your hand in this cruel world. << -

How about GFRIEND with Memoria? I don't know what they're saying, but it sure is a pretty one!

GFriend -- Season of Memories -- Studio Choom
https://youtu.be/VClsKLNQFWQ?si=Ig3fBCw3D_J3d7-ZThis was released earlier this year and might well be one of the last songs we hear from GFriend as a group.
I love the choreographic reference to "Rough" at the conclusion. Studio Choom suits GFriend so well!

GFRIEND -- ROUGH
https://youtu.be/r_6q_-d-7Sk?si=iRcVMvy01qRoikJHI'm posting this because:
- GFRIEND matter in Kpop history
- exemplifies orchestral kpop
- also exemplifies school concept
- I love it! -
GFRIEND -- Me Gustas Tu -- JP version
https://youtu.be/Q_8YONoUqRw?si=5JTd7DqYQZxdkaZqI can't resist posting another GFriend MV. This Japanese version of "Me Gustas Tu" has a high school setting absent in the Korean original.
Overall, I actually prefer this Japanese version. GFriend's sound was Jpop influenced, and the girls look so much better here than they did in the Korean MV.
Globalization was at work in this MV, in which a Korean girl group sing a Spanish titled song in Japanese, while in the school nearly all the text shown is in English.

GFRIEND -- Here We Are | 2020 Online Concert “G C:ON”
https://youtu.be/jCNyyTVtC_8?si=Udxmh2TbzJwrd25H'Here We Are" was a track from the GFriend album "Labyrinth" that was released in February 2020. Composed by e.one, it''s a wonderful ballad, with the surging strings, lyrics, and members' voices coming together to cathartic effect. Seek out the lyric video for the best listening experience as you follow the words.
Nevertheless, I decided to link to this video from GFriend's online concert at the end of October 2020.
The concert was online, of course, because the number of COVID infections was increasing once again. A song like this is a natural concert closer, but at that time of pandemic it assumed an extra significance - "Here We Are" indeed! Their singing is strained at times, and as they turn to see screens showing lightsticks being waved by a scattered multitude of distant fans, the girls weep. So do I.

Thank you for setting up this #KpopMonday .
I've already seen so many great songs chosen for the theme of #MyFlower . Where would Kpop be without its flowers, moons, and butterflies?
Here's my offering from GFriend:
GFRIEND - FLOWER GARDEN | Go Go GFRIEND 2019
https://youtu.be/waWmCTXbzTE?si=rjv0skcZWrHgXvYTA GFriend track of which I never tire. I always enjoy the choreography in this performance, especially during the guitar break.

It would be remiss of me not to post this deservedly much loved B side. It's an delightful example of GFriend's blend of the cute and the rockish.
All the members look great, but I am captivated by Eunha ( bob and bangs/fringe)

This ReacttotheK video features GFriend -- Season of Memories.
Besides being of interest to anyone who liked that song and those of GFriend in general, the reaction incorporates discussion of what makes a song sound "Japanese". If you're interested in musical connections between Kore and Japan, you might want to watch.

YUJU joined AT AREA! 👏
nice! after all the struggle she went through, yuju finally found a new home at a new company.
'at area' is a good company for her, i think. they are focused on soloists and they even do europe tours with them.
let's hope that she finds good people there to get creative with.
she deserves all the opportunities to shine. 🫶💕
i need a proper yuju comeback & promotions.

"La Pam Pam" sounds to me like an orchestral pop piece that has been influenced by anime music. I think too that influence was at work in a lot of GFriend music.
I note that because Japan has also contributed to kpop musically as well as in terms of industrial organization and idol culture in general. Of course, the US musical influence on kpop is much more noticeable but that Japanese input is still there.
The overall importance of Japan to the kpop industry often gets neglected in those "Is Kpop getting too westernized?" discussions . Part of the reason for that neglect is that we in the west naturally focus on the west, but I also think that sensitivities about Japan Korea relations come into it.
Although I have an interest in late 19C and 20C East Asian history, I have no expert knowledge, so treat what I say with appropriate caution; a lot of it is just conjecture.
I sometimes wonder if Kpop can tell us something about Japan Korea relations. On the one hand , you have "scandals" pertaining to that history:
https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/art/2025/02/398_344898.html
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-46147777
On the other hand, you have the importance of the Japanese market for the kpop industry and the Japanese influences I've noted earlier.
Kpop fan spaces tend to fall back on a version of history in which Japan is simply the colonial oppressor and Korea the victim.
I certainly would not want to deny the importance of that colonial exploitation in general and the the scars left by practices such as sex slavery.
Yet I have a feeling that this narrative is simplistic . Colonies depend on consent and collaboration as well as oppression, and my guess is that applies here too. Possibly there is a parallel with British -Irish relations, where revisionist historiography in Ireland has shifted from "centuries of unbroken resistance" to a more complex and nuanced view .(I'm aware of the challenges to that revisionism).
That historical complexity is reflected in the relations that obtain today between the UK and Ireland in general and even in the entertainment industry in particular.
So I am wondering if we might get a better understanding of the kpop industry and even kpop artistry if we were ready to admit the possibility that the popular history in kpop spaces merits critical scrutiny.
To obviate any misunderstandings, I am not denying or trying to play down the appalling aspects of Japanese rule in Korea and elsewhere in Asia.
Okay, we need more music at this
point. GFriend -- Memoria seems appropriate. As well as having an apt title, it's a great song, even though the lyrics include a corny English rhyme and the MV has some ugly outfits!https://youtu.be/YTWwz6R6jy0?si=-sX7NZNNUhfETnnP

I'm so glad you enjoyed "Fallin' Light".
I like GFriend's other Japanese title tracks, but there are some good B sides too. Here is "La Pam Pam", a favourite of mine:

With the exception of Sowon, all the members of GFriend are Christians, with Yuju and SinB being Roman Catholics. I wonder if performing this song has any special significance for them.

Every Sunday I look back at the preceding week in kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen GFriend – Season of Memories.
I was never in much doubt about this week’s choice, the only uncertainty being which iteration I should choose. I decided to feature the Inkigayo stage for two reasons. In the first place, I fell for the styling , even though I am not usually a fan of identical outfits. Secondly, that styling, reminiscent as it is of Japanese sailor suit school uniforms, complements the Jpop inspired sound of the song itself.
GFriend have not only drawn on Japanese musical styles, but have also, with songs like “Memoria”, achieved some notable successes with Japanese releases. That Japanese connection should remind us western kpop fans that we ought not to fall into occidentocentricity when fretting about whether kpop is becoming “too westernized”, because for GFriend, as for much of the industry, Japan matters as much as if not more than the west does.
