It takes a lot of hard work for K-pop groups to stand out in the music industry, and GFRIEND did just that in the span of three years. The girl group rose to stardom with their enchanting vocals and their elegant choreographies. Surely, all of the moments below wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for the girls’ perseverance and dedication combined with the continuous support from their fandom Buddy.

With their next comeback being just around the corner, here is a throwback to nine special moments that marked GFRIEND’s blooming career.

1. When GFRIEND took home the “Best New Female Artist” award

On January 15, 2015, GFRIEND took their first step into K-pop with “Glass Bead” from their first mini-album “Season Of Glass.”

Their debut was so successful that it gave them their very first major award win, which was none other than the Best New Female Artist award at the 2015 Melon Music Awards. This specific award is a critical step in a rookie artist’s career, since it is a measure of the initial impact they have had on the industry as a whole. Their success was further acknowledged in 2016 as they received this very same award on at Gaon Chart Music Awards, Golden Disk Awards, and Seoul Music Awards.

2. When GFRIEND earned the title of “Double 100 Million Streamers”

“Me Gustas Tu” is the song that granted GFRIEND their first major chart achievement. Being their first comeback release, the hit song landed first on real-time charts such as Mnet and Olleh Music, and entered other music charts in high positions. Later on, the track impressively surpassed the 100 million streaming mark on the Gaon Charts.

This achievement was then claimed again by GFRIEND, as their following comeback with “Rough” was also streamed more than 100 million times, thus earning them the title of “Double 100 Million Streamers.”

The amazing performance of GFRIEND’s music on the charts has labeled them “Stuck to the Charts.”

3. When GFRIEND received their first music show win Every first win counts for an artist, and music show wins are just as important. Roughly a year after their debut, GFRIEND took home their very first music show award on “The Show” for their comeback song “Rough,” which garnered 15 wins in total on various Korean music shows. This outstanding record is their highest win so far, with “Navillera” being a close second. Furthermore, GFRIEND’s other title tracks kept getting notable recognition on music shows, landing them a sum of 37 awards overall. 4. When GFRIEND achieved their very first all-kill GFRIEND’s music is no stranger to Korean charts, as their debut album entered the weekly Gaon Album Chart at No. 12 and peaked No. 9, and the respective single “Glass Bead” entered the Gaon Digital Chart at No. 89 and peaked at No. 25. Following their comeback with the mini-album “Snowflake,” GFRIEND achieved a perfect all-kill with “Rough” on various online Korean music charts upon its release. More specifically, the song topped the Melon music charts for 416 hours. With “Rough” being the rising group’s hidden gem, GFRIEND was just the fifth K-pop group to achieve a perfect all-kill, their predecessors being senior groups BIGBANG, 2NE1, SISTAR, and miss A. 5.
