[PIC] 250331 - GFRIEND Taipei concert full ending ment transcript
🐹When we first started preparing together, it was around November. Since then we've been working together and bringing back old memories through this project has been so nostalgic and wonderful, though also a bit challenging. Celebrating our 10th anniversary is something I'm incredibly happy and grateful for, but at the same time, it felt a little heavy on my heart. I thought I’d feel relieved once today’s concert ended but from this morning, I started feeling a bit sad instead. I didn’t want to feel any regret, so I put my all into today’s performance. I hope you all watched and cheered for us without any regrets too. To our Buddy fans who have waited for us so long, thank you so much. And most of all, to my members, thank you for staying strong, healthy and by my side for 10 years. I’m really happy to be GFRIEND’s maknae. Thank you.
🐥Oh it’s my turn now. You know, the 10th anniversary is a number we’ve celebrated every year since our debut. There were times we were apart but now we’re celebrating with a special album, music show performances, and an Asia tour. I was surprised by how many fans we still have. Honestly, I never imagined performing in such a big concert venue. When I was younger, I just thought “I only need to debut”, but then we won first place, we had concerts, we went on tour, and we met so many Buddys. I think that’s a huge blessing and a great happiness. This was all possible because of the members. When I was young, I struggled a lot but there were also many happy moments. Looking back, I sometimes think I could’ve been more honest. But I’m being honest now. I’m really grateful for the members. Since we’ve spent so much time together, just seeing their faces makes me happy. That feeling is something only for my members. I’m truly grateful to be in this group together. And for today’s performance, I gave it my all so I wouldn’t have any regrets. Thank you for loving us. I love my members too.
🐶Normally when I’m on stage, I true to look at as many Buddys as possible. But today, I focused on looking at the members instead. When I was dancing, I saw the backs of my members and they looked just like they did 10 years ago. I was so lucky to become a singer and even luckier that I got to sing GFRIEND’s songs. At first, I thought this 10th anniversary project would just be a time to look back on our past but now, I think it’s not just about looking back, it’s also about moving forward together. Don’t just see this as a memory, let’s keep moving forward together. As I get older, I’ve become more careful with promises but still I want to say this. Let’s meet again someday. Thank you so much Buddy.
🐰This is a very nerve wracking moment. I hope that in about 2 minutes I’ll feel relieved that I spoke well. Thank you members. As I performed each song from today’s setlist, every moment felt very emotional. These are songs that I love and they’re also songs that all of you love. Being able to perform them on such a wonderful stage in front of you all makes me so, so happy. While performing, my emotions fluctuated a lot. When I saw our Buddys with teary eyes, I felt choked up and sad. But when I saw you all happy, I also felt so incredibly joyful and delighted. So I really just want our Buddys to always be happy. I believe that’s also how GFRIEND can truly be happy. We will always be a GFRIEND who stays by your side and shares your hearts no matter what. Our members worked so hard too. Thank you.
🦊While waiting for my turn, so many things ran through my mind but I forgot them all. It’s really hard to put this into words. I don’t want to drag this out just for the sake of it. While performing today, my emotions fluctuated a lot but the moment that hit me the hardest was when I was dancing and made eye contact with the members and they were smiling so brightly at me. My dongsaengs were smiling so beautifully but it made me feel so sad. *everyone starts crying* I should change the mood. At one point during the performance, my knee joints really hurt. *audience go “Ahhhh”* No, no don’t react like that. But last night while talking with the members, we promised to give our knee joints to our Buddys. I’m sorry for making you wait so long. But we will meet again at another beautiful moment so please don’t be too sad. Thank you for always waiting for us with the same heart. There’s something else I really wanted to say. Our 10th anniversary is obviously so special to us and to Buddys but while working on this project, our hair, makeup and styling staff, as well as the representatives and many staff members who helped with this concert, they all prepared with the same heart as our’s and I really want to express my sincere gratitude to them. Thank you to Source as well. Buddys I love you so, so much. And to my members, thank you for being with your lacking leader. Thank you
🐱Ah I shouldn’t have chosen to go last cause while listening to the members speak, I hadn’t planned on crying today but my emotions kept welling up. We’ve talked for years about how we had to do something special, whether it’d be an album or a concert, for our 10th anniversary. And I’m so grateful we actually got to do this 10th anniversary project. It’s been such a happy time for me. While practicing and going through schedules with the members, I realised something again. I love GFRIEND as a team even more than I thought. Of course, we’ll meet again someday but it makes me sad that this project is coming to an end. And I just want to say a huge thank you to Buddys for making me love this career, something that once was just a distant dream. Thank you for waiting for us such a long time. Honestly, I have a lot more to say but I don’t want to make this speech too grand. Since we’ll meet again someday, we won’t make you wait too long. First, I want to sincerely thank Source for making this 10th anniversary project possible. Oh and by the way, since yesterday, Sowon unnie has been going on about how this is the “last time”. We’ll keep seeing each other, right? GFRIEND and Buddys are forever, aren’t we? *Everyone shouts “YES!!”* So don’t be too sad. And finally, there’s something else I wanted to say. There’s someone who waited for this 10th anniversary project even more than I did, someone who truly loved GFRIEND as a team. I just want to tell him “The 10th anniversary project you waited and hoped for has been completed”. Thank you
🐹Since I was originally supposed to go last, just give me a moment. I think we all feel a little strange right now. But after this, we’ll go eat hotpot together, chat, and have fun. So I hope you all focus on the good memories from today and remember it as a happy time in your hearts. I do feel a little sad, but when I think about it, it’s not like we’re suddenly flying off to another planet or anything. We’ll each be in our own places, doing the things we love and showing you our best efforts. So let’s support each other and meet again on another great day, with bright smiles. That’s all.
🦊So it’s NOT the last time. I only said that cause I wanted someone to say “No it’s not!”
🐥All five of us said “No it’s not!”
🦊But everyone, just like Umji said, I really hope our Buddys don’t go home feeling too down. But we do need to pull ourselves together because we still have to keep running!
🐥By the way, out of all the singers in the world, thank you for loving us. We do have a lot of charm, right?
🐱Ah, there’s one more thing I forgot to say. I really wanted to finish this 10th anniversary concert in a cool way, as SinB the main dancer. But the members probably know, I was really stressed because I couldn’t dance properly this time. I wanted to end this concert with a perfect, cool performance… I mean, not end it, but wrap it up well. And I’m sorry that I couldn’t. *Buddys saying “It’s okay!!!”* I knew you’d say that. But sitting in my chair and watching the members perform, they looked so beautiful and amazing. And I got to take in every single Buddy’s face, one by one. That made it a really special time for me.
🐶Ah, there’s just one thing I feel like if I don’t say it now, I’ll think about it before I sleep. While we were performing of course, we had a lot to focus on during the stage but our staff members stood by the stage, watching over us every second, worrying about whether something unexpected might happen, or if any of us might get hurt. I want to express my deepest gratitude to all the staff who looked after us so carefully. GFRIEND has become something like a nationality to us six members. No matter where we go or what we do, the fact that we are GFRIEND will never change. And I hope you continue to support each of us on our journeys. The love I’ve received from Buddys is the greatest love I’ve ever known in my life. I’ll spend my whole life repaying that love. Let’s do our best!
🐰So you’re in debt huh?
🐶My debt is enormous. Let’s all live our best lives!!
🐥Let’s do our best!!
🐹Yes!
🦊No members have any regrets now, right?
🐹Nope!
🐥If I do, I’ll write about it later! I just have a feeling someone might, so I’m saying it in advance~
🦊Alright then. We’ll say our final farewell while showing you our 10th anniversary album. With the promise that we’ll meet again, we’ll say goodbye now. Buddy, this has been GFRIEND! Thank you!!
