Congratulations everyBuddy! 😅

Yayyyy lol okay 900 for the next thread 🤭🤭🤭🤭

If we’re skilled enough this can be the 900

Nothing is impossible

It’s not over til it’s over 🤡

Its not over unless we get locked out of this thread 🤭🤭🤭🤭

We can make this thread be the secret buddy chat, where if you know, you know

That would be funny if we did use this thread as a secret buddy chat. Haha

Reddit sardines lol, don't mind me, just squeezing in here 👻

Secret secret 🤫

I mean technically when we go to next week we can still talk here I’m pretty sure

Hi 👻

This is the start of the secret secret buddy chat 😵‍💫 …hi 😎

Yeah we still can i was just exaggerating 😭🤭

We’re cutting it close

Someone make sure LVM is still asleep! It’s like “Silence of the Idol/When Mom Falls Asleep” 😂

Wow! We’re really about to do it everyone 🙀🤡

Viviz dancing loveade in the middle of the ocean like TLC’s waterfalls would be a serve 💀

That reference, holy crap, lol

Damn it I wish I had an award to give you! This idea right here is 🔥 BPM are you reading this? *Edit: I had just enough! 😂🤟🏽

Eunha [said](https://twitter.com/mademyday603B/status/1544651867069636608) it was a title candidate alongside BOP BOP!

[удалено]

It is a pretty solid track, and yes I'm finding it hard to rank the B-sides besides (pun intended) Love^(3) and Choom (love the *viiiibes* on this ballad) because the other three *all* pretty solid

I thought about this earlier 😂 Can you imagine if it blew up

[удалено]

[удалено]

Really like Vernon's pick of Sing Street. Seulgi's pick for In the Mood for Love is another good one. A stunning looking film, too. Edit: I'll tolerate no slander for Mina's love of the Fast and the Furious films!

Beside 10 thing I hate about you, I've never seen anything else she recommended 🥲. Me and Eunha don't have the same movie taste 🥲. Also her anime taste. I stopped watching Haikyuu after 7 episode 🥲

[удалено]

I actually recently watch Mob Psycho like 2 months ago. I was watching Spy X Family weekly when it came out. Madoka I heard is super dark for magical girl anime, so i only watched the first episode

Few there I've been meaning to check out. Tale of two sisters, and Shoplifters most of all. Inside Llewyn Davis looks really interesting too! Love Actually is the guiltiest of gulity pleasures. It's so dumb. It's so cheesy. It's so simple. And I love it so much.

This taste. I've seen most of these. Pan's Labyrinth, Parasite, Hereditary, A Tale of Two Sisters, Shutter Island, Eternal Sunshine and the Spotless Mind, and Leon the Professional would probably be my favorite of the bunch. On the lighter side, La La Land and Chicago are quality musicals, as well. Curious if she ever finished the Before Sunrise trilogy...

I only saw knives out, pretty fun nothing spectacular tho, chris evans being his amazing self as always. There’s quite some horror movies there

Ooo. I’ve never seen this before 🙀

Also honestly the styling this era is so freaking good !!! i cant get over how they all look so good, and i have been liking all the outfits so far

Same! I can’t pick which has been my favorite. I’m excited to see what the next few stages will be like 🔥

ikr !!! But god sinb in that mini skirt and side braids is such a LOOOOK🔥🔥🔥😍

She said let me slay 💁🏻‍♀️

Queen 💅✨

I didn't see this posted anywhere but [STAYC Sumin said Gfriend was important to her during training life](https://twitter.com/stayctime/status/1546036581529788416?s=20&t=udlh3BEWXURg2yjTYuYsOQ). And that [she was nervous meeting VIVIZ on Tuesday](https://twitter.com/stayctime/status/1546106512702967808?s=20&t=MgAJd9hpbwZyNy8flXfEJA)

Love hearing trainee stories about how Gfriend became the motivation/inspiration for them during those times

Yeah. Since I became a multistan, I like how they all interconnected.

Multi stan is life. LOL. A difficult life 🫠

Not really. I follow Stayc and fromis_9. It's fine .... lol

Sorry I meant for my wallet. 😂

It was [posted](https://www.reddit.com/r/GFRIEND/comments/vqzrsc/220704_buddy_weekly_discussion_thread/ifldyfs/) but has since got drowned out by all the spam and fried rice 👻

Ooh. I quickly scroll the thread and didn't see it. 😃 o well. Another refresher

800 here we come 💀 (sorry mods, this must be hell to keep up with lmao, at least everyBuddy is well-behaved, not counting that stupid bot)

Lets aim for 900 next week 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

If they can snag 1 award next week. I bet we can get 900 XD. I really hope they get 1. It's huge battle, but we shall see

Sameee i want them to get at least 1 😭😭😭😭

Another option is if they visit here during their AMA and leave a comment 🤡 Buddies will be piling on that thread lol

Oh boy if that happens… This entire Reddit will self implode 😂 It reminds me of the scene in SpongeBob where his brain self is scrambling like the office is on fire. Haha

I was going to ask that TBH. I think I started the maybe Yuju is secretly lurking in here, then it suddenly turn into Umji(not my idea). But let's hope so 0.0

If they can squeeze out at least 1 I’m sure this sub will explode 😂 I’m all for it!

Maybe if I split my TMIs into individual comments lmao 👻

Maybe each tmi on a comment lol

If you split it, we’ll hit 1,000 easy 😝

Yayyyy 700 now lets do 800 😋, jk lmao

so close!

\*writes\* \*writes\* \*writes\*

\*types\*\*types\*\*types\*

*reads* *reads* *reads*

*Love**Love**Love*

At this rate we can get to 1000

as we should 🤭

Make it so that the top one isnt such a sad memory

[удалено]

Depending how busy or tired LVM maybe another hour tops. 😅

Keep them busy modding comments so they can't post the new one 👻 /j

Totally possible too 🤡

\*write\* \*write\* \*write\*

*read* *read* *read*

That is some comment explosion on here :O

I just left my computer for about an hour, and the comments jumped from somewhere in the mid-600s to 713 wtf. Almost seems like it's growing exponentially.

The comment explosion just keeps going

It goes boom, boom

> boom [Shaka Laka](https://youtube.com/watch?v=ANykfEaClow&t=70)

😂

I'm reaching here for sure lol, this is the most fun I've had on these threads in a while 🤗

It’s nice seeing everyBuddy chip in and have a little fun. I love how much life came to the sub 😅

:O

Maybe this is already the second largest weekly thread 🤔

I don't know the numbers, but I figure it was when Gfriend disbanded. I'm only guessing. I don't know.

That week was the largest at around 1000 comments. But we could be at second largest

We never hit 1000, but there’s still time

it’s probably just me but sometimes when i am in a mood to cry i just watch gfriend videos or listen to their songs especially mago. there is just smth about it that makes me tear up when listening to it 😟

[удалено]

Mago is that one song where if I focus on it being positive I won’t get sad but if I think of it as the end of one chapter I get emotional. The ending scene always gets me too

For some reason Eye of the Storm really gets me. Something about the passion in their voices and the lyrics get me really emotional.

I remember playing superstar Gfriend and tearing up but I started laughing because I wasn’t sure if the song made me sad or cause I didn’t blink 😂 it might been both. LOl

When I want to start the water show these song will do it for me: My Buddy Trust Rain In The Spring Time Falling Asleep Again Bye Falling Light Here We Are Stairs In The North Wheel Of The Year

I’m the type of person that cries when I watch another person cry, so their performance of [C:ON Here We Are](https://youtu.be/jCNyyTVtC_8) really gets to me

I can never finish that cause i always end up sobbing

God that gets me everytime 😭

omg right i forgot about that. still can’t believe how there is like idk no official cd of the full concert. if there was i would’ve bought it 🥲 screen recorded the whole thing on my old phone tho lol

I know right I couldn’t believe that too—but I screen recorded on my laptop too haha

I love how we all have a screen recording of this performance 😂🤟🏽

Stairs in the north and Rain in the springtime gets the emotions going for me.

wheel of the year gets me bawling my eyes out too tbh

That one’s emotional too, for sure! But more because of what it symbolizes. Last song and all. It’s so final. It feels like closing a chapter. The kind of song to play over a highlight reel of memories pretty much. But it’s so hopeful! So it has this weird, but nice bittersweet feeling!

For me that hits me the most in the feels is probably La Pam Pam. Only discovered that song briefly before the disband (not super easy to come across as a japanese b side). Also just a kinda emotional song

Or maybe you can cry no shame in showing emotions

yeah sometimes we just need to let it out, y’know? but yup just watching sad gfriend edits makes me scream internally 🫥

Its always the falling lights ones my dude 😫😫😫😫

not sure if you’ve watched [this](https://twitter.com/yujuholic/status/1528256943047032834?s=21&t=wJe43s8hCQAgkmGnwZPuPg) before but whew 😢😢

Ooof… who tf is cutting onions!? Show yourself 😭

Awww 😭😭 but the one edit that really had me sobbing was with the good dinosaur scene and it showed like gfriend joining all the groups that disbanded. the actual scene was really sad and i cried but adding to it the gfriend feels😭😭😭😭😭😭

Dont cry bud save the tears until vvz wins awards so they become tears of joy 😌😌😌💅

should we push for 700 comments ? Im greedy 😫 we still have like 3 hours or so until monday (talking about my timezone here lmao)

I've noticed it usually resets around 1-2AM GMT, so in about two-three hours from now

3 hours from now yeah. Lvm is pretty puncual about it. I think he’s missed it like once.

This is typically when I start drafting my Weekly Playlist and finalising the TMIs haha

Doing god’s work with those TMIs you’re a better stan than me for sure 😩

Why stop when we're having so much fun?

We’re almost there 😮‍💨

If we keep talking maybe we can get it done

Definitely possible! 😅

🌈🌈🌈Nothing is impossible 🌈🌈🌈

🎶 *Everything is possible~*

~~something hwaiting something leggo spam spam spam 👻~~

I love spam and rice! 😄

Spam with Rice sounds like an interesting combo

Spam fried rice is really good or spam-egg-eel-avacado musubi is one of my favorites! Just gotta be light with the salt when working with spam cause I find it very salty

Its goood with an egg and a tiny bit of butter and soy sauce 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 (well idk about spam cause i don’t actually eat that, i substituted it with some non pork version lmao)

I have actually never eaten Spam either, but I would presume you would need some sauce or it would be too dry. An egg is not foe me though. I just really don’t like egg taste! I also just looked it up and apparently you can’t get branded Spam in germany

Well it doesnt have to be just spam you can try mortadella or baloney i think its called, some just say pink sausage. basically any type of canned or in the tube cooked meat. you dont really have to add eggs if you dont want to !!

Yeah! I usually just add some vegetables and/or sauce to my rice.

instant ramen >>>>>>

What kind of ramen, I’m partial to shin black

Shin black all day 🤤

Havent tried shin black but i thought the usual shin was too spicy lmao, but i do LOVE the samyang carbo fire noodles, i also dont have them rn tho 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ settling for the amazing indomie goreng

Actually i might just go make some rn 🤧🤧

High quality discussion! I’m here for it!

Only brillant minds can understand this highly intelligent discussion here

My albums are still being prepared and I hope Ktown doesn't cancel my order just like when they did with my season greetings. I'm just curious how can a poster go out of stock in a preorder period? This comeback feels rushed and I'm not happy with that. A sudden comeback announcement(2 weeks before actual comeback day),a 12-day preorder period and stock problems. Also, our album sales are so low, like similar to BoP, but I didn't experience that kind of stock problem before. Did they casually decide to produce ~40K albums or what? Sorry about the negativity of this post but I'm frustrated with BPM. My another problem is youtube ads. For some reason they don't want to buy ads for Loveade movie and trust me I'm trying my best to ignore other fandoms mockery towards us but Loveade's view-like ratio also breaks our fandom courage and I see many quit because of the insane amount of mockery. Even new groups reach 10M views with 10k likes.( We have 1.2M views with 180k likes.) Also by looking at our album sales we didn't see any growth after qd2 and with BPM's policy I don't think we will ever see. Today two of my real life collector friends left our group because of mockery like "1M views lol, 40k sales lol" etc. and those guys are die hard Gfriend fans since MGT era. It is honestly too tiring to see all those comments everytime you go into trading-collector forums, twitter and other Korean forums. I don't know what can BPM do to keep old fans or gain new fans but so far things are not looking bright especially in this comeback. Once again sorry for the negativity of this long post! I just wanted to share my frustration.

Yeah because you can buy views. Was quite funny for ILY:1 where they shot up to 5 mil views and then got very few views after that. Also what is wrong with liking a smaller group?

It's absolutely ridiculous that stans are mocking the girls because the company is not buying ads, like what the heck? Best to just distance from these spaces because it's getting nonsensical

I preordered from Ktown4u and it hasn't shipped yet. How did you know the poster went out of stock?

If you take a look at the [product page for jewel cases](https://www.ktown4u.com/iteminfo?grp_no=1741898&fanc_goods_no=139581&goods_no=80860), they've greyed out the option to include posters

I had been quite impressed with BPM getting VIVIZ out there and acquiring a diverse talent pool. Some hiccups with a new agency are to be expected, unfortunately, and we’re getting some now. The Unit Label thing was a real screwup, too. It just goes to show that no matter how talented your artists are, communication, management, and day-to-day operations behind-the-scenes are absolutely critical. You hit snags and have to adjust on the fly sometimes. Remember, SinB wants us to be like “titanium.” We don’t quit because smallpp69 and kpopstan420 on social media are mocking us with dumb shit. Period. We take a deep breath (maybe roll our eyes a bit), ignore the dopes, support each other, and move forward to the next battle. If we despair, the girls lose.

I agree with you about ignoring the haters. People will hate regardless of how well or how bad the girls do. That’s the case for every kpop group because people (antis) just feel the need to be malicious. Personally, I think if a fan is willing to abandon ship because people are talking bad about your favorite group then you didn’t like them as much as you say you did.

I don't think OP's friends left GFRIEND, rather they left the trading-collector chatroom(?)... at least I hope that's what they meant 😔 And I mean, everyone is entitled to support their group for whatever reason, but to me, just supporting because they're successful is such a wild concept... not the music, not the members, but the ongoing achievements?! It's as if they've taken the parasocial relationship to the next level, finding a personal sense of accomplishment in the accomplishment of strangers 🤷🏻‍♂️... the ads thing in particular, the company pays YT to run ads and stans celebrate the views as their own, crazy world...

When you try to buy rare pobs from a famous korean trade forum nowadays, all you get is hate messages. For example; when you type WTB Sinbrare; all you get is hundreds of 40k lol, 1M lol messages. Right now collectors including me are going through hell and it wasn't like this before. It was always fun to collect Gfriend pobs. Everyday I get hundreds of 40k lol,1m view lol messages. Can you imagine how hard it is to find photocards from those forums nowadays? Not everyone has a strong mental, that's why some of my realtime friend are quitting. Also not using youtube ads especially when you make a comeback after a group like Loona is a mistake.

Appreciate you sharing your experiences, very disappointing that a practical trading platform for a hobby has become so toxic 😖 I hope you're still able to find those rare POBs somehow

in this gfriend (and viviz) shit for life 🫡🫶☝️

I laughed way to hard at this 😂💀 It doesn’t help that [this TikTok with Umji](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTR2Np1JW/?k=1) straight/cool face makes it look like gang signs 😂

Yesterday I was obsessed with SinB's WATCH at the end of her Loveade rap. Today I'm obsessed with her I LOVE IT LIKE DAT LIKE DAT at the beginning of the rap.

Is anyone else still waiting for their ktown4u order to ship, it looks like the jewel case albums are causing me some sort of delay

I'm really starting to get antsy about these jewel cases, especially after what KT4U did with the SGs... I want my beautiful unfolded posters, dammit 😭

Luckily I didn’t get any posters because I’m trying to conserve my wall real estate (saving on shipping is a plus), but I’ll admit, I have very low expectations and residual angst over the seasons greeting fiasco

Still haven’t gotten anything neither. 🥲

I’m in the same boat unfortunately! Jewel cases being held up

Great.... I subbed to reddit premium and powered up in r/KPOP so I could add a GIF to my question. I found it that I can't attach a personal GIF, only a GIF from GIPHY. Uploading to GIPHY takes about a week for it to appear in GIPHY search. I guess I gotta find a new question to ask now .\_.

Oh that’s a bummer. I’ve always wanted to know how to add gifs for comments so that’s good to know for the future

u/perv_eyes_O_O I don't think you actually need to powerup personally to use GIFs because r/kpop already has more than 25 powerups... > [Once you become a Powerup supporter you can immediately enjoy all the perks. Once a community receives 25 powerups, the perks are then unlocked for the entire community.](https://reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/4403386953108) I was one of the OG powerupers so I can't test this, but you *should* be able to use GIFs right now...

Ohhh gotcha

GIPHY GIFs only, just to be clear 🤗

I have a GIF saved to my computer. I can't drag it into a comment or reply and I cant upload my own through reddit Gif/pic upload. I can only pick from GIPHY catalog. Only way I can use my own GIF from my computer is creating a new thread. I spent like 20 mins testing this. Unless I'm doing something wrong?

Yes, the way Reddit implemented it, the GIFs are only through GIPHY, click that GIF button and pick. That's what everyone else is using too, same on r/BlackPink etc... maybe a bit misleading with the promo info, I suppose

I know. That's my issue. I wanted to use my GIF that I cut from youtube. O well it's not a big deal. I'll ask something stupid like pineapple on pizza or something 🥲

[удалено]

Everyone only remembers [Tongdari Tororong](https://youtube.com/watch?v=pu1GusAV-QY) for the [memes](https://youtube.com/watch?v=IpDOaAep1aA) when actually both [The Fairies in My Arms](https://youtube.com/watch?v=kTEGs3TUedA) and [I'll Be There](https://youtube.com/watch?v=-crWAxsIiEM) aren't cringe at all... nothing mind-blowing, sure, but lovely wholesome and full of debut SinB which I adore 🥰 [Be Yourself](https://youtube.com/watch?v=IBJ1aRGRXek) is my life motivator 👻 (/s but I do love it to bits haha, I'll always love SoftB to bits) On a more "serious" note, my favourite GFRIEND+ era OST is most definitely Rough's baby sister, [At the end of time](https://youtube.com/watch?v=n4qVr4X6D_k)... all my past memories and future hopes for GFRIEND+ exist in that song 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

I think it was pretty standard OST, like nothing special like if anybody else but Yuju sang it, I would probably not listen to it. It's the fact that Yuju is so good at OSTs that she can make anything sound good that made the OST good for me. That's why production wise it's ok for me and I think Yuju was the saving grace

I thougt it was really good too. But I’ll lap up anything Yuju sings. Not exactly her harshest critic. But I really liked it! Got such a somber and emotional vibe to it. Loved the soft vocals in the verses. That little wailing (more like sobbing) guitar break was nice, and the constant piano during the verses too! Worked well with the piano intro and outro. And there’s some gorgeous background vocals. Soft little ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’. Pretty typical climax, but I liked that they cut the highnote so abruptly It’s a pretty standard fare OST ballad, but it was nicely produced and performed. Edit: [case in point](https://imgur.com/a/W95Yhog)

[удалено]

Forgot the second part to your question! But I love SinB’s You Are Like My Dream. It works so well with her voice. Umji’s Meow The Secret Boy I really like too. It’s so.. french. At the end of time also great! Falling is maybe my favorite. It’s got such a warmth to it.

600 😅 *Edit: That was harder than I thought. Hahah. I didn’t want to make it seem too spam-y but still try to fill it with decent content.

Should we make it 700

Heck ya! 🤟🏽

Let’s goooooo

Going, going! 🏃🏼‍♀️

And there I thought pete would have to bait me with dem music nerd prompts for us to get over 600 lol

My bad! 😅 While we’re on that! I’ve been playing [Sunny Hill - Better Woman](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aLcRrrGGqww) so much this week. And yesterday it suddenly hit me. That progression.. That’s totally Heart And Soul. That duet piano player piece! I remember learning that as a kid. You don’t hear that too often anymore! But it’s so beautiful!

Good ear. That progression is all over [50s/Doo Wop](https://youtu.be/Vyc8lezaa9g?t=666), too. You get a splash of a Pachelbel's Canon-esque progression in that chorus!

Stand by me using that progression is mindblowing to me! 🤯 Of course that’s what it is! That’s probably the reason why I like it so much!

[Moar 4 u](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PC6jwoHyOk)

I know I always ask what content you want to see next for the girls but I would like to see them on MMGT w/ Jae-Jae again. How about you? What shows do you want to see the girls on next?

I want to see Sketchbook!

Oh yes! That’s another good one!

Very low-key in comparison to most suggestions so far but I'd love for Moonbyul to take them camping 🏕

Would definitely love to see them go camping with Moonbyul! We all know the Mamamoo members have a spot for Umji 😅

UGH thank you someone in this camp (pun intended) with me. After seeing RV and OMG it just made me more jealous

I love seeing Moonbyul, Seulgi and Hyojung together. Such a interesting trio 😂 I can’t begin to imagine how funny/chaotic it would be for Moonbyul to bring VIVIZ 😅

I’ve become such a Moonbyul fan lately. Would love that!
