GFRIEND Member, SINB, reveal her opinion for sudden disbandment of the group

GFRIEND Member, SINB, reveal her opinion for sudden disbandment of the group.

SinB is one of the GFRIEND members who chose his stage name to make it look complicated. With the real name Hwang Eunbi, SinB means mysterious with an aura that is indeed one of SinB's auras when on stage. With the stage name 'bi' because it was taken from part of his name.

We know how much SinB CARE about her fans, nickname as fan service queen. Unfortunately last year, GFRIEND was officially disbanded following the expiration of their contracts with Source Music. Despite going their separate ways, the GFRIEND members have been vocal in supporting one another as they start anew under different agencies. Some of gfriend member ends up to focus more for acting industry, while other debut as soloist or trio. SinB, Eunha, and Umji redebuted together as a three-member group named VIVIZ.

On the latest episode of “SCAN VIVIZ,” SinB spoke candidly about GFRIEND’s disbandment and confessed that she hadn’t known their 2020 release “MAGO” would mark their final round of promotions together.

GFRIEND marked their debut in 2015 with Season of Glass. Their latest comeback was in 2020 with their third full-length album, Walpurgis Night.

SinB went on to recall that GFRIEND had gone through a really tough time before the official announcement of their disbandment, sharing, “We didn't know how to tell our fans, 'We won't be promoting as a GFRIEND anymore. GFRIEND won't be renewing our contracts.' We weren't allowed to tell the fans first before the company's official announcement. So if you watch our V Live broadcasts from about a month before the news of our disbandment broke, the members will suddenly start crying in the middle. There are clips of the members crying while watching videos of the fans cheering us on.”

Disbandment is something that any kpop group can’t avoid regarding their contract termination. The popularity of K-pop music has risen to new heights over the last few years. The South Korean music industry has produced and is still producing several world-famous musical groups and singers. When source music decide not to hold a group together, just like mnet broke their promise to renew izone contract, the group will fall.

However, SinB emphasized that she firmly believes GFRIEND will reunite someday, noting that VIVIZ had chosen not to pick a leader for the group because they still consider Sowon their leader.

“Honestly, I believe that GFRIEND will get back together again one day to release an album or do something as a group,” she said. “So we decided amongst ourselves, 'We don't need more than one leader: Sowon is enough. So let's not pick a leader.' And we didn't choose a new leader. We left the spot of leader open for her.”

“I personally think we'll only be apart for a short time,” SinB went on. “I think if we work hard and do a good job with our promotions [as VIVIZ], and each member honors her skills on her own, and then we reunite afterwards, that would look really cool too.”
