This is not the first time that the Me Gustas Tu singers showed their incredible bond post parting ways. On January 15, 2023, on the occasion of GFRIEND's eighth debut anniversary, the girls got together to commemorate their unbreakable friendship, making it a meeting that fans dearly loved.

The latest image posted by member Sowon is captioned "Love," while member Yerin replied to it by writing "Friendship." In the latter's post, she captioned the photo "Indeed we are having fun." On the other hand, member Eunha quoted the number "99881234," which holds a special significance in itself, amid other heartwarming replies by fellow group members.

BUDDYs are ardently waiting for further interactions among the members of the former group. In the meantime, they are adding the latest pictures to their album of GFRIEND reunions since the group's disbandment.

What are the GFRIEND members up to these days?

In recent news, member Yerin is all set to make her solo comeback on August 23, 2023, with her second mini-album Ready, Set, Love. She debuted as a soloist in 2022, with her mini-album ARIA. Meanwhile, member Yuju who debuted as a soloist in 2022 with her mini-album REC, also dropped her second mini-album O in March this year.

Sowon, on the other hand, is pursuing acting and appeared in the film-drama series My Chilling Roommate (2022) as the female lead. Members Eunha, Umji, and SinB now form the K-pop group VIVIZ that debuted in 2022, with its mini album Beam of Prism. The trio's latest release is the single Spoiler, an OST for the ongoing TV series called My Lovely Liar.

The iconic girls of GFRIEND debuted in 2015 under SOURCE MUSIC, with their debut track, Glass Bead. In May 2021, the members went their separate ways following their individual pursuits, but when they do get together, the fandom comes alive with memories shared with the NAVILLERA girls.
