11:43 FLOWER
19:54 FALLIN' LIGHT - Hudba
For "Memoria", the theme is quite clearly about the mutual dependency and support for each other. In the MV, each member was portrayed in two states: one awake and one asleep (or in a dream). During the awake state, we see how each member struggled with a desire/need:
Sowon - Oragami crane
Umji - Moon
SinB - Wings
Eunha - Two-color eyes
Yerin - Sparkling dust on her knees
Yuju - constellation
During their dream state, one member helps another for their wish/need:
SinB brings the Oragami crane for Sowon
Sowon comforts Umji as she holds on to the moon-shaped pillow
Yerin places a flower on Eunha's eye
Yuju blows off the dust for Yerin
Umji draws the constellation on Yuju's arm.
Waking up after the dream, each member remembers the dream and runs to the roof for their reunion with each other. Each girl's presence completes the circle for their sisterhood.
I love all Gfriend's MVs but in terms of its emotional impact and intended purpose, the MV of "Memoria" captures the spirit of friendship, the core message of Gfriend, so beautifully and effectively that I always rate "Memoria" as my favorite MV for Gfriend.
Please excuse my extra enthusiasm for "Memoria". I just can't help myself when I see it.
GFRIEND is the only girl group that gives me emotion and happiness.
Their musicality and talent are a blessing to K-pop and BUDDY.
FALLIN LIGHT WAS LIKE THE BEST JAPANESE TRACK FROM A KPOP FOR ME 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It's EXTREMELY underrated. The chorus melody is so beautifully composed that it just makes me wanna tear up every time I listen to it.
fyi, memoria story is about their memory during debut till now .
-Sowon papercraft means her father passed away when she was promoted sunny summer.
- yerin's glitter in her knee means she got injured in her knee. -eunha's eyes means when she got eye infection during time for the moon night promotion.
- yuju's hand with tattoo means she got hand injured when debut, you can check the video when she was practice vocal (mermaid cover)
-sinb's wing means she got hand dislocated.
-umji's moon sign means when she got bullied from haters bcs of her visual during navillera era, but actually she is pretty like a moon.
And they always ended up together, caring each other so they become Gfriend we know now.
The crane carries the soul of the dead to heaven in mythology hence why Sowon had a paper crane in her hand. SinB has a problem with dislocating her shoulder and has even done that on stage. Also she is known for being savage when her real personality is as sweet as an angel to those who really know her.
Just wanted to add that it is about SinB's shoulder not her hand and Umji got the most hate during Rough and it got slowly less after Love Whisper*
Memoria is a song symbolizing their painful past experiences.
Sowon’s origami crane- death of her father
Yerin knee glitter - Knee injury
Eunha heterochromia - Corneal inflammation
Yuju tatoo- wrist injury
Sinb wings - shoulder injury
Umji reaching for the moon - dealing with her bashers/critics
GFRIEND 😘😘😘
6:25 Eunha's short hair is sooo iconic
I forgot how good memoria was, I’ve listened to it 100s of times and I can’t believe I still get goosebumps. Feels so nostalgic, miss GFriend so much
21:07 some of the mv's like sunny summer and fever weren't directly related to storyline but they still had hidden messages in them
Hi Austin!
Gfriend has a variety series called “memoria” which is a variety show that (I think) is safe for CZcams. It is a looong series with many different activities done by them so have a look at it if ur interested!
Btw love ur reactions 😄
Idk, if it's just me, but I'm still getting goosebumps everytime I hear the last chorus.
Yuju's solo releases would be a great watch too if you are interested. For title tracks, she released 놀이(Play) as her debut, Without U, then 따라랏(DALALA).
And maybe 이브닝 (Feat. BIG Naughty) also. I believe its a single release.
Yes, Evening and Dalala are single releases
Their Japanese releases are so good. I legit miss them and their songs. Their style fits me so well I wish they continue releasing songs. 😂 And Yuju is definitely my bias. But I love them all though 😆❤
Great reaction! Support Gfriend and Viviz forever!!!
Fallin' Light always makes me feel things 🥲
Ohhhh the Gfriend japanese releases are top tier, I'm glad you reacted to those!
Memoria has a very beautiful story, since you can see the girls helping one another with their "struggle", and there are theories that explain those are presumably based on real life events (Yuju's injured arm with the tattoo, Sowon with the origamis because her father passed away two months before, Eunha with the different eye color related to her eye infection, SinB with the wings could be associated to her dislocated shoulder, Yerin and the glitter I think it was a knee or leg injury, Umji with the moon representing beauty and the criticism against her looks). It's a theory though, but it kinda makes sense and I've read many times. But above all it's about them supporting each other and being better together.
If it says Flower is 3rd single it's probably because Me Gustas Tú japanese ver. is the first one. Also, I think the distinction you made between Yerin and Yuju is actually pretty accurate hahaha Yerin has a rounder and cuter face with a playful and sunshine vibes, while Yuju has a larger and more elegant face with more sensual and sophisticated vibes. And yeah, they both have a mole above the eye, but Yerin has another one in the cheek, it's just she removed it for some videos. And as you said, Yuju has the most mature and deepest voice in the group, she's known as one of the best vocalists in the industry too.
Fallin' Light is a masterpiece, and the elegant vibes on it, both musically and aesthetically, are just *chef kiss*, everything is gorgeous. Also, the title in Japanese means "angel's ladder" and it refers to the light that shines through the clouds, you know, when it's rays of sun coming though and it looks like the angels are coming down. The lyrics are super poetic and beautiful too.
Their japanese tracks are amazing, La Pam Pam and My My My! are also incredible (they're bsides).
Thanks for this Gfriend journey, it makes me so nostalgic and happy at the same time
Hope for a bside songs and performance 😆😆😆😆 la pam pam and Mymymy are my fav Japanese gfriend song 😬
Gfriend is awesome in any language, thank you for the reaction ❤
Their japanese B side for all mini album is top tier
GFriend famous B-sides is Rainbow,Windy Windy, Gone with the Wind and lastly Labyrinth. This b-sides is have an amazing vocals you should try to listen it❤️
Oh, you are really deep down the Gfriend rabbit hole, Sir Austin 🤭. I remember your 1st reaction to them, Crossroad wasn't your cup of tea.. i wonder what your view to the song now since you are now deep to Gfriend. Welcome to the fandom, Sir 🤧🫶
thank you Sir Austin for another gfriend reaction.❤ also, not me doing a happy dance when you correctly identified the members, especially yuju and yerin.🎉🎉🎉
Omg ! Another Gfriend reacts??! U really makes my week better ! 💜
Thank u for reacting to this songs! I think Fallin Light is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard, you should read the lyrics they take love to a whole new spiritual level haha. Hope you’re ok!
this video literally brought me back in time I still remember the day memoria came out and we all were so crazy over it we were trying to find theories and everything ughhh I miss them so much
YES! THANK YOU! MORE GFRIEND CONTENT!
They have a reality series called Memoria. But there's quite a few more 'boring' episodes. Source was driving them pretty hard that year. Most buddies seem to have "GFRIEND Loves Europe" as their favorite reality series. But it's a bit of a bummer for you, because Umji isn't in it. She was hurt at that time. She does the narration though, and they call her a bunch of time.
Absolutely psyched to hear you'll be checking out our soloists too! They tend to get overlooked!
I remember memoria was my second comeback with gfriend, it came out when I was at school so I tried to check it out in the library but there wasn’t any volume xD but actually if memory serves the song came out as a low quality audio a while before the music video and I was recovering from a surgery and was completely bedridden and all I would do was listen to that low quality audio of memoria and it brought me so much comfort and happiness back then ;-; with every reaction you’re bringing out my memories of being a buddy, I’ve forgotten how much I used to love gfriend :(
Thankyou for reacting to gfriend's japanese singles! U should also definitely do the 5 original b-side tracks on the fallin' light album (emotional days, the beginning of love, my my my, la pam pam, and beautiful)
i think you reallyyy gonna like yuju's solo stuff because its so full of different genres and she explores her voice in a way that she didnt back in gfriend so i think you will enjoy it and you have to check it out, her mini albums are flawless!
in Memoria, Sowon holding a white bird paper, represent hope and healing for her while she was in a state of griefing for the loss of her father (as long as i remember, it was around Memoria release)
.
Eunha's eye represent her struggling with eye infection.
Sinb's wing represent her shoulder injury.
.
While for yuju, yerin and umji, I'm not quite sure.
But, for my POV, they included their real life struggle in the MV and just like in MV, one member will cheer and help other member weakness so they can stand together just like the ending of the MV.
Memoria was one of the best MV that has strong message that maybe only buddy could understand. It was so deep and personal.
While Flower was the experimental song, but turns out good.
And Falling Light was the best instrument and choreo.
Sadly said, only Falling Light didn't have the Korean ver. while Memoria and Flower has its own. 😢
I love your gfriend viviz reaction. hope you keep going for them ❤️ they are super talented in all ways
😊😊 thanks Gfriend forever.
They have a collaboration song with japanese artist as well. The title, Oh Difficult by Sonar Pocket & Gfriend.
the bag was lowkey fumbled especially considering how much potential their music could’ve had in Japan. I’m a long time Jpop fan as well as Kpop and Gfriend’s JPN releases give me the best Jpop vibes (along with DC and Twice)
For memoria I remember there was theory how each member was dealing with some kind of pain,
Eunha’s heterochromia was in reference to the styes she had to perform with during tftmn
Sowons cranes were because her father passed shortly before the songs release
Umji’s painting of the moon was to make something beautiful because she was always called ugly
Sinb’s wings are for her shoulder which dislocated a lot when performing
Yerins knees were for when she fell and hurt them
Yuju’s tattoo on her arm is for when she broke a bone performing me gustas tu
Thats just buddys theory though
omg you’ve almost reacted to all their title tracks then ;-; I do wish you could react to their albums eventually too
you are feeding my gfriend missing hours lately
8:54 goosebumps indeed
Oh I just remembered gfriend also have a Japanese collaboration called oh difficult , I don’t think anyone ever really cared for it though 🫠
8:35 when this part came, i always cried. this is unfair. pls cry with me buddy ya
I love your GFriend/VIVIZ reactions. I'm from Brazil! You should watch their dance practice videos. You are gonna love them. thank you for your videos
the only Christmas thing gfriend has is the sunny summer Christmas version dance practice ;-;
not a group thing but we also have umji’s self composed song “eve love”
Thanks for reacting Sir Austin❤😊
8:33 man, this climax part in Memoria always gives me goosebumps. That chorus with yuju and eunha's adlibs in the back are so beautiful
Gfriend❤
Ah sir austin. Thankss❤❤
yaas another gfriend reaction, thank you!! im curious if you’re planning on reacting to their bsides? if you are maybe you would want to start with their last album(mago album) called “walpurgis night” (its a full album containing unit songs that the members wrote themselves!). im really curious about ur thoughts on their bsides cuz they’re gold!!
I recommend you la pam pam from their Japanese album! It's so pretty ❤
4:18 maybe this building reminds you of summer rain mv
12:21 Eunha's individual color in Viviz is purple (Umji's red and Sinb's blue)
You gotta check RAINBOW it's sooooo good ✨
Viviz have a christmas clip called White. If you can, you should react to their japanese album, the bsides are so good. Eunha became really popular after she cutted her hair short in Navillera and became like her mark. It kinda fits with her image of girl that loves animes/games because she looks like an anime character. Youre right about Yerin face, she have a rounder and cuter face. While Yuju have more sharp features and look more mature. Im looking forward for your next Gfriend/Viviz reactions ❤
i've been watching ur gfriend reactions lately, and i really enjoy it. you noticed every little details and ur comments are always on point! you've said u loved their sounds so i think you'll also like this one group that i stan, E'LAST
E'LAST is a 4th gen 8 member boy group and they're a very different group. they have a musical and orchestral, and gothic like sound which is smthng you can rarely hear now haha. i think they sound just like dreamcatcher or gfriend, but heavier. and just like them, they also don't get much recognition as their concept don't appeal the kpop fans (and this group also came from a small company so). these are their first 4 songs that i think u must check out (arranged in the time they were released)
Swear (debut song)
Tears of Chaos (they're only 7 members here)
Dark Dream (1st comeback as 8 members)
Creature
i hope u could see and react to their songs. they are also a very talented group. they were really a must watch hshs
👀
9:36 true truee
thank you 🤍💙💜
Yeay you got yerin and yuju right this time
fallin light is one of my fav song from gfriend
The safest reality series to react to is Memoria from 2020/21. But as someone has said, the episodes vary in entertainment value. Some are hilarious but a few centre around a verbal game where non Korean speakers find it hard going despite the subtitles. The best is when they are just being themselves all together or taking part in a game with physical activity. They are split up into a number of mini series with generally 4 or 6 episodes in each but a few later ones are just 2 episodes. Each mini series is centred around a holiday weekend away in various locations in Korea. The first series is really good and funny in all 4 episodes. You can react to those quite safely.
I miss GFRIEND 😢😢
Thank u Soo much for the reaction. I'm loving this path. I hope you van react to their live performances. Iconic songs like rainbow, gone with the wind, etc are there and so many times represents GFriend more than the main tracks. On the other side I would like to recommend The comeback stages from the main tracks, just like apple, crossroads and mago. This because you know how amazing performers are viviz, but you really haven't see GFriend as a whole. Hoping for more.
Since there are only 3 mvs left, how about u add their 'Labyrinth' special clip too in your next gfriend reaction. Labyrinth is a promote b-side on the Crossroads album.
Now lapampam and mymymy japanese bside. It so good hahaha
Love these! Brings me back! Looking forward to more.
Can't wait for you to react to their funny videos. I think you'll gonna cry.
My queen gfriend 😍
11:45 Gfriend's first Japanese song is "ME GUSTAS TU" also has mv
Honest opinion: so the yellow dress are AMAZING but i think its the red shoes and lip stick doing alot work. But the yellow dress umji was 🤏🏽🤏🏽 to claiming my bais from eunha right then. It was a crisis!
Please react to their "Labyrinth" performance and to their solo/OSTs❤❤
love ur gfriend reaction thank u
I love your reaction again! Huhuhu this makes me more miss my Gfriend so much :(((
I want you to check out their concert go go Gfriend 2019.
Please stay with love gfriend and viviz.
I would love to hear your reactions with windy windy, mermaid, one half, and love bug pleasee! T.T Lovely reaction tho!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
8:35 combo of best main vocal dan lead vocal

Nonton MV Gfriend bener bener bikin Dejavu ❤
Please react to all gfriend's Japanese song !! Every song is really good!!!❤❤
Please react to their 2x faster dance challenge... Its amazing!!! Thank you in advance.. looking forward to it!!❤❤
memoria outfit look familiar? yes, similiar Yoohyeon WHAT MV 😁
Hey. I dunno if you ever take requests? But I feel the sugary sweet side of kpop girl groups is lost on 4th gen a lil.. and since you seem to enjoy that type. There is a newer girl group called csr that does cute sweet concepts. If you get a chance maybe you can do a mv reaction for the 4 they currently have. Even if you don't make a video I hope you check them out sometime to see if you enjoy them. Anyways always love your videos. So thank you for all you do and post :D
Please react to their 2x speed dance and masked version.
buddies have a theory about the memoria mv. i'm sure og buddies know what i'm talking about. these were not confirmed but we believe:
1. eunha having 2 different eye colors signifies an eye infection/injury she had during tftmn
2. sinb's wings signifies a shoulder injury she sustained while performing. there are clips of this floating around.
3. umji's moon was about the public's "opinion" on her "less than" appearance (i do not share this opinion)
4. sowon's cranes are symbolic of her father's passing
5. yerin's glitter on her knees also signify an injury (i couldnt confirm said injury)
6. yuju's tattoo also an injury (i believe she had a hand/wrist injury during predebut/debut
NEXT REACTION BTS X GFRIEND FAMILY SONG MV
💜💙🤍
Please reaction B SIDE ALBUM SUNRISE
For christmas related, i recommend Umji's self-made song 'eve love' and Viviz special clip cover of 'White' (orig. By Fin K.L)
it's funny you are confusing between yuju and yerin when most people cant differentiate our cucumber sister, yuju n sinb
