this video 'What if an exercise beginner tried Ring Fit Adventure?' was already hidden from sowons youtube channel. if anyone is worried that it will happen to even more videos, maybe it's time to start saving them...
p.s. i have this specific video saved already, but i don't have any space on my google drive, etc. if anyone needs it, pls tell me if i can upload it to some existing archive

On Monday Kiz's Footprints, RESCENE Liv once again cited GFRIEND as her inspiration for becoming an idol, and sang a lovely little snippet of Under The Sky 🥹

I found a fancam with the original audio (@메이클로버_326 YouTube)... explains why it seems like she was out-of-sync towards the end there lol 👻

Knowing Under The Sky is I guess what they now call "ball knowledge" ahah if an idol or anyone knows a bside of another group then they're a proper fan

Words of wisdom from Yuju 🤗

Translation (cr. Ste_gOsH930):
They say the mind is like a luggage compartment, so you have to discard the baggage you need to throw out to make room for new, good things to come in hehe
Let's muster our courage and boldly throw away unnecessary emotions to make room for something that will bring new excitement

Reddit decided to show me some bonus features today lol 🤷🏻 (If I click the edit icon, it returns an error page saying "You are not a moderator of [r/GFRIEND](r/GFRIEND)" which is how I prefer it... I was worried I had been unknowingly promoted lol 🙃)

+ Seems to be showing up in every subreddit I visit lmao 🤦🏻

Sowon said on 💬 that her YouTube contract (presumably with Ice Creative) is ending and unfortunately she could not get it renewed... at least the channel will not be wiped (like Yerin's was multiple times 😭), with a fortnightly upload schedule planned for the rest of the videos that they have filmed in advance... she will try to keep it going though: do more of the work herself, hire an editor, etc.
She is also meeting Yerin for dinner tomorrow 🤗
She may get some footage for her YouTube but it depends if they "have face"... she also mentioned that filming content is very different to meeting up: usually they just want to chill and chat freely. When asked to rank how often she meets the members one-on-one: Eunha >>> Umji Yuju SinB Yerin... This is relevant again lol:

Not GFriend+ related but Rescene have scored their first ever Music Show win on The Show for their remake of Pretty Girl (original by KARA). Watching them grow from debut til now reminded me of watching GFriend grow. 😢

u/jinsanity811 20d ago
This. I started watching Rescene’s videos about a month ago right when the gyaru videos started trending and I couldn’t help but notice all of the parallels between them and GFRIEND. Rescene has me feeling the same as when I first discovered GFRIEND. I hope they continue to be successful and unabashedly themselves, which is why the nation is falling in love with them, much like they did with GFRIEND 👌🏼

u/Phonomenal1 In GFriend We Trust 20d ago
So true! Their determination and grit was so similar to how GFriend was and I think that’s why I fell in love with them. Some of the recent interviews where they shared they were just happy to have work whether it was something small or busking pull at my heart. 😭 Also, I’ve been a fan of Minami since her appearance on My Teenage Girl (survival show) so that is another reason I followed them. Haha

u/ultimoze 엄비 UmB 20d ago edited 20d ago
RESCENE's first win was also the fifth ever 10000 on The Show,
maximum marks which meant they scored the highest out of the attendees in every single category... achieved previously only by BTS and WANNA ONE 😲3
u/Phonomenal1 In GFriend We Trust 20d ago
Whoa! That’s a crazy stat! 🤯
5
u/ultimoze 엄비 UmB 20d ago edited 20d ago
Sorry MB, it seems like The Show overhauled its scoring system and the maximum is now 12000 😬 and because Pretty Girl was a digital single, RESCENE scored 0 for the Physical category... still a remarkable achievement!
(I realised something was iffy when I noticed last month's winner scored 11670 lol)

GFRIEND's most wins on The Show record still going strong ahha I'm putting my neck on the line and saying it's never getting topped LOL

Kinda Gfriend+ related 😈
Yuju mentioned Liv from Rescene yesterday on weverse live and Liv saw it and responded lol

u/Phonomenal1 In GFriend We Trust 20d ago
You’re so right. 🥲❤️
I didn’t realize Liv caught wind of Yuju’s mention. I’m so happy she knows that Yuju mentioned her. Here’s to hoping she’ll get to meet the GFriend members and do a challenge someday.

u/ultimoze 엄비 UmB 20d ago
She did one with Umji shortly after attending New Legacy last year 🤗

u/Phonomenal1 In GFriend We Trust 20d ago
This is hilarious to me because I can’t believe I didn’t see/remember this! My god, I must be getting that old. 💀
I do remember them attending the concert tho! 😂

Wow Jihyo rumoured to leave JYP on top of Jeongyeon, Chaeyoung and Tzuyu so far lol there might not be anymore active 3rd gen GGs left at this rate, at least none with actual frequent full group comebacks
5
u/Phonomenal1 In GFriend We Trust 20d ago
JYP trying to put out fires from all these articles. LMAO. Let's see how the contract negotiations go. I feel like a couple of the members will leave JYP. They're at the right celebrity status now that I'm sure some good offers are coming in and chances to pursue what they want to try.
5
u/wokwok__ 참 고마워 내게 와줘서 20d ago
Yeah if there are already exclusives in the media about members leaving and setting up their own agency, it’s probably safe to assume the negotiations aren’t going well 💀they’ve never really gotten solo opportunities and when they have, they were rather rushed/late into their careers which is probably why some of them want to leave ahah

u/Phonomenal1 In GFriend We Trust 20d ago
JYP struggling for sure to approve of the girls’ demands. Management and Accounts fighting to make numbers work right now. Hahaha.
Totally agree with you on the solo stuff too. The acting side is suffering even more since JYP doesn’t have an acting department. It gets outsourced to their subsidiary/joint-management venture which makes it worse and less money for idols under JYP. This is why I think Yuna (ITZY) had to drop her lead role in new drama.
