Netizens are reflecting on GFriend's career.

On an online community forum, a netizen shared images of GFriend's overseas schedules from the past. In the images, netizens saw large crowds and heaps of fans supporting the girl group. While GFriend was well-known among netizens for their domestic fans, it did not occur to some that they had just as many international following.

Another fan noted their steady growth over the years:

Under this discussion, netizens left reactions such as, "I think their international popularity would have risen even more if they had made another comeback after Mago".

Other comments include:

"Such an impressive feat from a mid-scale company"

"It was really sad when they disbanded"

"Wow...their popularity in Indonesia was no joke"

"I remember when GFriend had that tour in 2019, they earned about 21.5 billion won"

"I can't believe they disbanded"
"I heard their international popularity grew even more since covid"

In other news, GFriend officially disbanded as a group last year in May. Do you miss GFriend?

This is why you need to be in an agency that manages you well.

Netizen are correct. I have seen all these months many new fans on social media who are starting to follow GFriend after MAGO without knowing that their company disbanded them almost a year ago.
