Today (December 2), GFRIEND and Source Music released a new logo animation video for the girl group, alongside details of the six-piece’s highly anticipated reunion project on social media.

Touted as a “special album”, GFRIEND are slated to drop a pre-release track on January 6, 2025 before releasing the ‘Season of Memories’ album in full on January 13, 2025.

The special album will arrive just a few days shy of their 10th anniversary on January 16. It will also mark the six-piece’s first music together in almost four years, after they disbanded in May 2021.

Source Music first announced that a GFRIEND reunion was underway in September, sharing that “the project was accomplished with the wishes from the members to present a precious memory to [GFFRIEND’s fans]”.

GFRIEND first debuted under Source Music in 2015, releasing hits like ‘Rough’, ‘Navillera’, ‘Sunrise’ and more. Their last release was the November 2020 studio album, ‘Walpurgis Night’, which featured the single ‘Mago’.

Since their disbandment, members Eunha, SinB and Umji have gone on to form the girl group VIVIZ. On the other hand, Yerin and Yuju have pursued solo careers in music, while Sowon has dabbled in acting.

VIVIZ recently released their fifth mini-album ‘Voyage’ early last month, featuring lead single ‘Shhh!’. Notable tracks on the new record include ‘Love & Tears’ and ‘Hypnotize’, written by Umji, while the latter was notably co-produced by vocalist Belle of girl group KISS OF LIFE.

‘Voyage’ marked VIVIZ’s first release of 2024, arriving a year after their November 2023 mini-album ‘Versus’. That record was led by the single ‘Maniac’ and included the B-side ‘Untie’, the latter of which was named by NME as one of the 25 best K-pop songs of 2023.
