They will always be gfriend no matter what
But as a fan I understand that they need to move on even that they don't want, I hope fans accept the new fandom name

I wish they could keep being Gfriend but under other agency

SinB calling em out yesterday for the old unreleased pictures ect.

While I understand the conflicted feelings the truth is the trademark is still up in the air so they should be prepared for the worst and that they lose the rights to the name so Viviz can at least be building something else if they ever wanted to do something together and in the scenario where they win the trademark there is still the issue of them being in different companies.

Ultimately Viviz should have their own identity and if they lose the name they have something to fall back on or if they win the name then they can treat Viviz as a sub-unit if they do decide to reunite so while the name eans a lot to the girls and fans however we have to think about their careers and it's for the best that something else is done.

Bless. It's no big deal that they have to use a different fandom name. That's understandable.

But we'll always be Buddies.

yep but you can see they are super stressing over so much.

 

[Kamistar]

It's good that they shared it to avoid problem with annoying fans, but now that they explained I hope they don't worry about it anymore
We can't change the past sadly so I want ViviZ to build a great new future a new fandom name is fine for me

shd it be a brand new fandom name-cos maybe/hopefully new fans who join VIVIZ' fandom might be younger fans who are brand new to kpop n werent buddys(tho they might or might not come to like gfriend too, its ok either way). lets hope there's no OT3 vs OT6 fan wars. i think past grps name change like JYJ; B2ST --> HIGHLIGHT; was different in tat either the whole grp transformed, or split--TVXQ / JYJ. its unprecedented where the grp split into 4 different companies-3 individual n 3 members regrp together. ill just stan them same as i did Gfriend, whether its as a Buddy or new fandom name (or both).

They’re really in a horrible situation.
The important thing is the three members that make up Viviz, and the other three members know they’ll always be GFriend, and that Buddy will always be Buddy. Highlight and Light have managed to rename themselves and carry on (albeit with only four of them now) regardless, which will give them some sort of comfort.

Well there is SNSD with a supposed 8 member group that has done nada since 2017, a 5 member group with 2 songs and many calendars, and a large collection of soloists
The difference is that ohgg is still sm so none of the trademark deal..

i was specifically trying not to bring them up, since SNSD OT8 isnt technically disbanded , with OH!GG under original company so fandom name remains. to me iys different circumsyances or at least i hope VIVIZ n Buddys will coexist peacefully, or even majority belong to both fandoms(whether just at start it doesnt matter to me), things evolve n progress.its complicated, is wat im saying.tats all.

The situation itself hasn't really happened before either since in scenarios like EXID and Girls' Generation there were members that chose to move onto different career paths where as Gfriend was not this since while Sowon and Yerin may have wanted to try acting and Yuju might have wanted an actual solo career instead of just the random single she got however it's also clear they still wanted to be part of Gfriend and didn't intend to leave.

It's really just hard to know what to think in this situation as I'm sure the girls are somewhat bitter about how Gfriend ended as it'd be hard not to be since they didn't go out on their own terms in the slightest.

yeah, im thinking they might hv followed a similar trajectory to Apink's career path: re-signed to company with variable solo/acting/other activities n constant grp cbs. alas it wasnt fated to happen. such a big sadness in my heart tat this happened.i can only pick up the shattered pieces of my heart n hope all 6 hv success in their future endeavours.

Yeah that was probably the end goal and now they're in a peculiar spot as from how Viviz talks about themselves they're a sub-unit since they call Sowon their leader and wanted to still use Buddy which is making an effort to not separate it from Gfriend.

Nothing to do but to wait though as until the trademark is decided they are going to have to play their cards carefully
