One song. Every day. Alphabetical order.
Keep up with GFriend’s A-Z reviews here!
A Starry Sky (from Time For Us – 2019)
The crystalline chimes that open this ballad feel like a good starting point for this K-Pop A-Z feature. If GFriend are defined by their “powerful innocence” concept, A Starry Sky sees them tackle the “innocent” half of that equation. But with a vocalist as compelling as Yuju providing the rock for everyone else to anchor themselves to, we’re in good hands. This is a simple and syrupy pop track – not one of their best. However, the sweetness of their voices peeks through at every turn. The song also leaves room for a nice build towards its layered climax.

And the winner is….. everyone! I think this is the first gg kpop a-z, and a well deserved one. I’m not too familiar with Gfriend’s discography apart from title tracks and some b-sides. Excited to see if I find a new favorite.

Nick, the librarian in you wanted to put this under “S”, but the internet blogger in you knows that our AI overlords are dumb and will put this at “A”. Yes? The struggle is real.
As for the series, GFriend was always too sweet for my own taste, but I will freely admit that they were an important force of kpop for the 2010’s worthy of this review series.

Yes, the struggle is indeed real! I seem to switch between my alphabetizing methods depending on the feature haha

When you start getting to the X’s and whatnot, you might have to get creative: Like EXO could be under X, or Jessi’s What Type of X, etc. Not a lot of Z’s to work with either; you could do Ateez, Lovelyz, Heize, Itzy, IZ*ONE…
You could stretch TVXQ to cover both V, X, & Q as needed.
And don’t forget the numbers’ groups, like 100% [Bad Boy, Not Today], 2ne1, 2PM, 4Minute, 9Muses, et al.

Just wondering is this list will included reviewed song or? If not I truly wish another song that deserved a spotlight on letter “L” ❤

Do you mean songs that I’ve already reviewed on the blog? Yes, I will be doing a short reevaluation of those with an updated rating.
