Well....... What is there to say really. I wish them luck in their new journeys

 

[eclipsoul]

looks like it's really over then. mago was by far my favourite title track from them, never imagined it could be their last but i wish the members all the best in the future. i'll miss playing superstar gfriend too omg

 

[Darkseid]

Yep it's over

 

[OnlyCalB]

Am I reading too much into Sowon's message?

"We're going to end our official GFRIEND, but we're not done. As always, it's hard for me to tell you everything."

That sentence makes me have hope that perhaps they wish to continue together but right now they can't release information.

It does seem like they could have something up their sleeve but at the same time I remember T-ara dropping hints at getting back together after they left MBK and then one day they stopped and started sounding like they were done which with Hybes position as a company and how corrupt Kpop can be it's probably best to not look into it unless they are actually able to pull something off.

Yeah, i think ill hv to hope tat Kim Sojung, Jung Yerin, Jung Eunbi, Choi Yuna, Hwang Eunbi and Kim Yewon can hv a second start after May 22nd. Maybe they'll all use their own names after this or new stage names. Wondering if Yerin can keep using her own name after this, Hmmm? or if she'll use a stage name instead. I foresee confusion for Eunbi, Yuna and Yewon if they dont come up with new stage names tho. 2x Eunbi has a lot of same name idols/stars i think, as do Yuna n Yewon.

Idk, based off on their letters, It doesn't seem like that would happen. I think overall they will be ok

Gfriend may be over but it's not the end of us

You can't trademark someones name but they might be able to trademark Yerin on its own so she'd have to either use her whole name as her stage name or come up with something else entirely if they went down they route.

Tats wat i was thinking of as i read that Ha:tfelt was Yeeun in Wonder Girls, but maybe to avoid confusion with Yeeun in CLC? Like Yeeun doesnt violate any copyrights JYP holds for Yeeun, rite?

So maybe Yerin might just use a stage name to enforce her rights or sth for her post SouMu work/releases if any. Wonder if her nickname in Niyam Niyam, Yenni/Yennie is also trademarked by SouMu/herself? Jessica Jung used her own name, but like you said she added Jung which wasnt used by her in SNSD, same for Tiffany Young, but Seohyun n Sooyoung used substantially same names except Sooyoung used Choi Sooyoung, whereas Seohyun pointedly DID NOT use Seo Joohyun, so im loast at this point.

Tldr: i rambled on n got lost, losing the point i was tryin to make, srry.

I got no idea if JYP owns Yeeun as a stage name but it is correct that she changed her stage name to Ha:tfelt but another reason for that might be if she didn't want to use her family name as part of her stage name.

Yerin could go by Jung Yerin if she wanted to but it does come back around to what she'd be comfortable having as a stage name although the benefit to using your real name is that you can't lose the rights to the name so that makes it harder to end up powerless when it comes to rights.

Few idols go by full name tho, as every wikipedia article seems to cite monomym as common stage name. Exception as above Jessica Jung n Tiffany Young. Not sure abt Krystal tbh. Amber goes by Amber Liu but Luna kept her stage name?

Ig we'll see in 3 more days(2 in korea), unless its not yet settled by Yerin n whoever she's gonna/hv already signed with. Idc i just want her to be happy n busy n super famous/successful, tho mostly its rare-can only think of Suzy n maybe Nana n maybe Naeun in future/currently who r the exceptions. There may be others im unaware of.

Nice for them to write individual letters. Feels sad, i wasn't super into Gfriend but they were always a group u heard about and had some bops

I'm hoping Sowon isn't joking when she said it isn't over. It may be false hope but I really don't want them to disband. It feels too soon. I mean it's not even 7 years.

 

[QueenGirlCrush]

Wasn’t really expecting this, especially so abruptly. Really wish they had released a statement on future leaving Source Music but they would have one last comeback.

 

[RandAlThor]

Well these read as if they are totally disbanded and will not come back.

Its really sad.

 

[Abeamus]

Gfriend also posted Japanese letters which I added to the OP under the Korean ones if anyone wants to read them
