This is from their fansign on the 26th of March! If you don't want to sit through the entire 14 minute video (the editing is a bit campy/silly), I've provided timestamps:


SinB
Yerin
Umji
Sowon
Eunha
Yuju

Umji (the helpful translation goddess) and Yuju though!! Sowon's reaction cracked me up lmfao

Umji is so good wow.

awww this is really sweet! lol the editing was cute imo, too many replays but I'd say the same thing about any k-variety show *shrug* kpop fans are campy, we're all embarrassing and overexcited. It's just nice to see a polite and coherent fan/idol interaction after all these airport mob and stalker incidents. Idk I just feel reassured when I see hard evidence that we're not all like that, we can be excited stans and still be civil.

IA! I do think the video is a bit over-the-top for my tastes, but the guy's heart is in the right place and I was laughing as I watched it!

That was cute, but lord was the editing getting annoying after a while.

[achan123.livejournal.com]

I'm impressed with Umji & Yuju! They seemed like exemplary students who did well in school. Umji is particularly so sweet! :D

[supersunshiner.livejournal.com]

i cant even watch it with this annoying editing oh my gOD

[baeby-bloo-skys.livejournal.com]

idek all the members of girlfriend, but i watched umji and sowon's part and just could not continue. the girls are adorable, but the editing made me want to punch a wall, that's how annoying it was. on another note, from what i've seen umji looks really shy, so it was nice to see her be outgoing and willing to help translate

[chimpansee.livejournal.com]

The editing was cute in some places but overall a bit too much lol. They were so good though! They were all able to make a conversation (except Sowon lol bless her) and I feel like they understood most of what he was saying.

UMJI MY TALENTED BABY!!! *.*

This was really cute! Thank you so much for sharing! <3

[typhlogirl.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, bb! I get such a kick out of hearing my faves speak English, lmao

[a-cheshire-grin.livejournal.com]

I get such a kick out of hearing my faves speak English, lmao

Me too! Me too! xd

umji's so cute and earnest i love her so much
the editing was amusing, could have been shorter though, the only thing that annoyed me was the concert joke, i know it was only meant to be a joke but i think with the language barrier it just came across as pushy

lmao at the manager lurking but yuju just continuing to talk

[jeit91.livejournal.com]

awwww @ gfriend

but wtf was that editing...talking k-variety to a whole other annoying level with the repeating

[jcdhwg.livejournal.com]

I'm obsessed with Umji <333333

[thisoneputa.livejournal.com]

lmao this was cute as hell

love these girls

[iigoru.livejournal.com]

Lmao they're so adorableee. Sinb lmfao she's my bias, no doubt.

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

I like 'unscripted' moments like this because I hardly ever watch interviews with idols and this gives such a nice feel of their personalities. Love Sinb, my respect for Umji just went up and rofl at Sowon.

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

lol this is the worst fucking editing i have ever seen in any recorded media

[rightclick5ave.livejournal.com]

Sowon's stressed expression and immediate "NO ENGEULISHI!" was HILARIOUS. Umji the precious angel child!! ♥ and Yuju was so nice and sincere aww :')

[paigeeybby.livejournal.com]

ok maybe im super camp but I cracked to fuck up throughout this video omg

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

this video was so funny but ofc people got annoyed lmao

yuju <3

[frankoceans.livejournal.com]

they are adorable omg i love them even more

[purechy914.livejournal.com]

the editing somehow made me dizzy because of the repetitiveness but wow i was surprised at umji's english! i had no idea she was that good

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

umji isn't even subtly stealing my heart anymore

[dreamerbri.livejournal.com]

i had no idea umji could speak english so well. the editing was a bit annoying but i'm kind of used to it now. lol

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

theyre all so cute especially queen sowon

the editing is so OTT never thought something would to korean variety

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

umji... i love her... this made me think what i would say to her if i got to meet her up close like that and i have no idea. probably would sound super awkward lol. i'm already gonna lose my shit when i see them this month in toronto
also it made me think how stressful it must be to sit up there and meet fan after fan after fan while still being cute and enthusiastic the whole time. the idol life would be so hard for me.
