[Editor’s Note] Reporter Choi Hyejin introduces a hit song that she enjoyed listening to during "Latte" 10 years ago
A decade ago, girl group GFRIEND colored the music industry with "power purity." They, who were greatly loved for portraying the growth of young girls in the early days of their debut, solidified their team's identity through their third mini album.
GFRIEND released their third mini album "SNOWFLAKE" on January 25, 2016. This is the album that marks the end of GFRIEND's school trilogy series.
The title song "Running Through Time" is an impressive song with sentimental and lyrical lyrics on top of a powerful beat. In particular, through the song, which features a sad and beautiful melody line, GFRIEND succeeded in three consecutive hits following her debut song "Glass Bead" and "We Are From Today."
At that time, the chart performance was overwhelming. "Running Through Time" topped the Melon weekly chart in the first week of February 2016 (Feb. 1-Feb. 7). Since then, it has maintained its No. 1 position for four consecutive weeks until the second, third, and fourth weeks of February.
The pleasant behind-the-scenes footage of the activities was also a hot topic. At the time, at the showcase to commemorate the release of the album, GFRIEND said, "It snows in the music video of this 'Running through Time'. But that's not the real eye," he said honestly. Member Yerin said, "It's actually a mixture of detergent and starch powder. "I felt like I was getting clean as I ran with that detergent," he said.
However, a time of change has come for her girlfriend, who was enjoying her heyday. When the exclusive contract with the agency Source Music ended in 2021, the girlfriend was embroiled in rumors of its breakup. But the friendship of the members has not changed. Reunited in January 2025, GFRIEND met with fans again, holding their 10th anniversary solo concert "Season of Memories."
The members also corrected the misunderstandings themselves through the broadcast. During her 10th anniversary activities, GFRIEND appeared on KBS 2TV entertainment show "The Seasons - Lee Young-ji's Rainbow" and said, "There are a lot of people who think it was disbanded because there were many articles about the word 'dismantling', but we didn't disband it. It was the end of the contract. I came out after reuniting after four years," he explained.
