When GFriend hit the K-pop scene in 2015, they cast a spell on listeners with the nostalgia-tinged single “Glass Bead,” its music video showcasing the girl group’s determination with their athletic choreography as well as a palpable friendship as mischievous schoolmates. Six years later, the scenes have changed but GFriend is still about reaching new goals and riding high alongside one another.

Upon announcing their latest album 回:Walpurgis Night in late October, the six-member act kicked the anticipation into high gear by first sharing the tracklist of the 11-song LP that revealed increased creative endeavors for them.

With cases continuing to rise, forcing switches to online-only classes and strict dorm lockdowns, parents have found themselves trying to figure out how to communicate their concerns from afar.
