GFriend Yuju's past photo prior to disbandment news is catching attention.
On the 17th, Yuju posted a diary written on the day before she made her debut on Weverse. The diary stated, "Debut D-1, tomorrow I will make my debut at Music Bank. The first album was released today and many contents such as music videos and site filming content were released. I can't believe it. If it's bad it's bad, if it's good, it's good. I'll just do my part faithfully. Let's focus on that moment."
It appears that Yuju looked back to their debut prior to news of the group's disbandment being released.
Netizens responded writing, "she was implying their contract terminations" "hul, you worked hard."
In the meantime, Source Music confirmed through a post on Weverse on the 18th that "GFriend will be disbanding on May 22nd after the company and members failed to come to an agreement to renew their contracts after long and in-depth discussions."
In the meantime, without a concert or fan meeting, fans are sharing disappointment on the sudden disbandment news only 4 days prior to the end of their contract.
- [+160, -4] Why does it feel like they want nothing to do with the group anymoreㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ? I just don't understand why they're acting like thatㅌㅋㅋㅋㅋNo matter whether or not they decide to disband the group, shouldn't they at least let the fans get ready for Hybe exhibition? We paid for it so why not let us go, it's not like we're trying to drag out the disbandment..
- [+151, -3] They've been working so hard to pay off their debts to the agency to the point that they fell on rainy stage where they made them perform. CEO Sungjin really needs to do better for the members and fans. If the fans are this confused and upset can you imagine how the members feel? They were such a really good hardworking group but they just disbanded them like that? What happened?
- [+102, -140] I get the feeling that this wasn't a one-sided disbandment. I think all the GFriend members decided together not to renew. Seeing as how things went with Apple and Mago, they probably decided not to re-sign with them anymore..
- [+57, -1] Source would've been a nugu agency if it wasn't for GFriend..
- [+50, -1] Of course they all agreed to terminate their contracts seeing as none of them renewedㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ. I think they had issues with the agency. It's not like Source has any other artists to make them money because they have yet to debut any other girl groups. I have some doubts that the agency wanted to renew but they chose not to because of how they were treated.
- [+29, -0] The reason fans are pissed isn't because they didn't renew. It's because they had fan sign that got pushed back and lots of memberships that were still ongoing. They cancelled all the videos and posters they had originally planned to release and gave fans nothing. The contract renewals aren't the issue. It's Source's shitty attitude to fans and members..
- [+18, -0] I think Source is planning to disband and exit the entertainment industry. That's why they disbanded the group so suddenly. At least this cancer of an agency will be long gone.
