After inviting GFRIEND for an online fan-meeting in August, Shopee finally brought the six girls to Jakarta. One of the biggest online marketplaces in Indonesia invited GFRIEND to the opening of ‘Shopee 11.11 Big Sale‘ as the main guest star. This program was also broadcast live on two national TV stations in Indonesia. Sowon, Yerin, Eunha, Yuju, SinB and Umji performed on stage with other famous Indonesian musicians such as NOAH, Bunga Citra Lestari, Gisella Anastasia, Syahrini and Via Vallen.
Happily Joined ‘Goyang Shopee’ and Opened the Big Sale
Shopee is famous as an online marketplace with various advantages such as free shipping and cashback rewards. One other feature that is quite popular among Shopee users is called ‘Goyang Shopee‘. This feature asks users to shake their smartphones according to the music and time specified. Through this activity, users will get coins that can be used for shopping later on. The harder the shake, the more coins collected.
During the ‘Shopee 11.11 Big Sale’ event, ‘Goyang Shopee’ was part of the event. Guided by the MCs of the night’s event, Andhika Pratama and Ramzi, GFRIEND seemed very happy to join in the activity of shaking their smartphones. Not just shaking their smartphones, these girls also did not shy away to show their dancing skills. Their leader, Sowon, even did special dance with the MCs while carrying out ‘Goyang Shopee’.
The highlight of the evening was when the six GFRIEND members, represented by Sowon, pressed the button to mark the opening of ‘Shopee 11.11 Big Sale’ event. A big round of applause was given by Indonesian Buddies after Sowon finished opening the event. SinB cutely added, “beli semua di Shopee, gratis ongkir” (translation: buy all at Shopee, free shipping).
Mini Concert Full of Fan Chants
Indonesian Buddies were apparently still not satisfied after seeing GFRIEND in concert last August. Their enormous enthusiasm was seen at the event that night, and their energy was transmitted directly to all GFRIEND members when they opened the performance with two live songs. ‘Navillera‘ and their latest song, ‘Fever‘, were chosen to open the show.
Sowon expressed her gratitude to Indonesian Buddies and mentioned that they always gave GFRIEND sweet memories. To show their appreciation to Buddy, GFRIEND then performed their hit song ‘Me Gustas Tu‘. This performance was then continued with ‘Time for the Moon Night‘.
Before opening the ‘Shopee 11.11 Big Sale’ program, GFRIEND returned to the stage by changing their stage costumes. This time appearing in Shopee’s signature orange colour, GFRIEND performed ‘Rough‘ with high enthusiasm.
The event with GFRIEND in Indonesia will not end without this song. If you still remember the unforgettable moments when GFRIEND had concert in Jakarta last August, it won’t be surprising if the girls decided to perform this song as their last one. The performance of ‘Vacation‘ was most anticipated by Indonesian Buddies. Buddies were excited to shout ‘eeee aaaa’ during the performance.
We would like to thank you to Shopee Indonesia for the lovely invitation.
