GFriend (Hangul여자친구; RRYeoja Chingu; stylized as GFRIEND) is a six-member South Korean girl group formed by Source Music in 2015. The group consists of Sowon, Yerin, Eunha, Yuju, SinB, and Umji. They made their debut with the EP Season of Glass on January 16, 2015. GFriend won several 2015 female rookie awards and has garnered momentum since their debut, despite coming from a small company. In 2016, they continued their success with their third EP Snowflake and won first place on many music shows with the title song "Rough". They released their first full-length album LOL in July 2016.

On January 15, 2015, GFriend released their five-track debut EP Season of Glass.

The group started promotions for their album on January 16 on KBS's music program Music Bank. According to YouTube, the M/V of "Glass Bead" ranked number nine in top ten "Most Viewed K-Pop Videos Around the World in January 2015". On January 28, 2015, Billboard named GFriend as one of "Top 5 K-Pop Artists to Watch in 2015".

GFriend released their second EP Flower Bud and the music video for title track "Me Gustas Tu" (Hangul: 오늘부터 우리는; RR: Oneulbuteo Urineun; lit. "Starting Today, Us") on July 23, 2015. GFriend started their group promotions on the same date as the album release, July 23, 2015 on Mnet's M Countdown.
