[SINGAPORE] GFRIEND Turns Up The Heat in Singapore

On July 20 2019, Sowon, Yerin, Eunha, Yuju, SinB and Umji made their way to our sunny island Singapore and met Singapore Buddies once again after three years! The sextet were in town for their ‘2019 GFRIEND Asia Tour [GO GO GFRIEND]’ where they performed for Buddies who waited for them to come back again for such a long time.

Opening the concert with their hit track, “Me Gustas Tu”, followed by several other upbeat and fun songs such as “Life Is A Party” and “Vacation”, GFRIEND brought a summer party-like atmosphere to The Star Theatre. Buddies were clearly ready to party with GFRIEND with their energetic cheers and loud fan-chants.

GFRIEND then filled the concert hall with lots of sweetness as they sang some sweeter songs such as “Truly Love” and “Love In The Air” to make Buddies fall in love with them even more! The stage was even set up with giant lollipops and candy canes as props for an extra dose of saccharine sweetness from the six girls!

In a Back To The Past segment, GFRIEND revealed that they prepared special unit stages for this concert. Sowon, Yuju and SinB formed the sub-unit World Peace while Yerin, Eunha and Umji made up Hug Hug. The girls candidly shared that these sub-unit names were actually candidates for their actual group name before GFRIEND was eventually chosen! World Peace sub-unit performed “Monday Blues” and Hug Hug performed “Shy Boy”. Both these songs are currently unreleased tracks and were also choices for their debut song. After seeing the girls perform both songs, it was fun to imagine GFRIEND with a different image from what we know of them now!

The concert took an emotional turn as GFRIEND performed more hit tracks such as “Rough”, “Sunrise” and “Time For The Moon Night”, GFRIEND continuously wowed Buddies with their knife-sharp choreography and stable live vocals. “Rough” was especially memorable in a ballad version which emphasized the wistful lyrics of a girl who desires to grow up quickly so she can be with the one she loves.

Towards the end, GFRIEND made a sudden request to perform their latest title track, “Fever”, as it was not included in the setlist. The girls knew Buddies would want to see them perform the song live and made a request to the production crew to see if they could perform it. Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, they were unable to showcase the song. However, that did not stop GFRIEND from dancing and singing a short snippet of “Fever” without the backing track just for fans!

As the concert drew to an end, GFRIEND told Singapore Buddies they hope the next time they come to Singapore would not take so long. We’re sure Buddies would love to see GFRIEND here in Singapore again really soon!
