[INDONESIA] GFRIEND had an Amazing ‘Vacation’ in Jakarta

Keeping their promise last year, GFRIEND returned to Jakarta for a solo concert titled ‘Go Go GFRIEND in Jakarta’. This was the first time Sowon, Yerin, Eunha, Yuju, SinB and Umji held a solo concert in Jakarta, as before they were only involved in a joint concert. GFRIEND entertained Indonesian Buddies at the Kasablanka Hall on Aug 23 for three hours straight.

GFRIEND opened the concert with great excitement while performing ‘Me Gusta Tus’, ‘Life is a Party’ and ‘Vacation’. The six of them appeared cheerful with a candy-colored blazer. After singing the opening three songs, they expressed their admiration for the enthusiasm given by Indonesian Buddies, especially during ‘Vacation’. The screaming was very loud when the song was performed, complete with alluring hand movements from Buddies.

Lively Videos are the Concert’s Main Attraction

Many interesting videos, and also background scenes, were shown at the concert, one of them related to GFRIEND’s wishes. Each member wrote down their wishes. SinB cutely said that she loved all Buddies. Happy or sad, GFRIEND hoped they would always be with Buddies forever.

Another video appeared, that tells the process behind the creation of group units. GFRIEND gave a special appearance from their two units, World Peace (Sowon, Yuju, SinB) and Hug Hug (Yerin, Eunha, Umji). During the video, the two unit groups brought up exciting stories that occurred during practice. Stories like who the leader at Hug Hug is and how their greetings would be. Hug Hug chose kisses as part of their greetings, while World Peace incorporated peace symbol’s gesture.

Taken advantage of the current hype, the sextet also made a video related to superpower entitled ‘GFRIEND War of Masters – Infinity War’. Each member showed their strength as a sports champion, and tested each other’s abilities. The video had hilarious ending, with the conclusion that the best place for GFRIEND was on the stage (not in the field)!

Impromptu Act is Always a Lovely Surprise

GFRIEND began a series of special surprises by singing their latest songs ‘Fever’ together with Buddies, including imitating the addictive melody. The girls were really surprised to see the accuracy of Buddies singing in Korean. They tested Buddies by singing a few part of their singles, which were all responded by Buddies smoothly.

Another surprise was given by GFRIEND when singing two songs in Indonesian lyrics! They changed some parts from the lyrics of ‘Me Gusta Tus’ and ‘Time for the Moon Night‘ to Indonesian. The lyrics to ‘Me Gusta Tus’ changed to ‘Me Gustas Tu, Me Gustas Tu, Tururur Sayang Kamu…’ (‘Me Gustas Tu, Me Gustas Tu, Tururur loving youu…’. While ‘Time for the Moon Night’ lyrics became ‘malam ini datanglah engkau, as time time for the moon night, bertemu denganmu dalam mimpiku‘ (‘tonight please come, as time time for the moon night, meeting you in my dream’.

The biggest surprise happened when GFRIEND decided to repeat their performance for ‘Vacation’, one full song. They seemed really fascinated by the energy Indonesian Buddies had during the song, and asked the producer to modify setlist. So once again, Kasablanka Hall was full with the screams of ‘eeeeee aaahhh’.

Towards the end of the concert, GFRIEND once again expressed their gratitude for the enormous enthusiasm of Indonesian Buddies. They hoped that when they returned to Jakarta next time, they would meet the same excitement.

Thank you to My Music Taste for the wonderful invitation.
