The lovable girls of G-Friend were one of the guests on the March 18 airing of 'Sketchbook,' chatting it up with MC Yoo Hee Yeol


Yoo Hee Yeol wanted to know whether the girls knew that they would be so loved by the public. Sowon answered, "Because we're not under a major label, we had no other wish but to enter the top 100 on the charts. Everyday is like a dream because so many people love us so much." 


Umji added that not everyone was infatuated with them when they first debuted. She said, "When we first debuted, a lot of people disliked us. But now they say, 'I've grown affectionate of them because they work so hard.'"

G-Friend also talked about being part of a smaller agency, and how it ended up being a boon for them rather than a bane. They said, "The company had a rough period when they were trying to form a girl group because even though people auditioned, they would all just go to bigger companies. But it's because those people went elsewhere that the six of us were able to debut. Thank you."
