Jonathan Emmesedi<p>Every Sunday I look back at the preceding week in kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen GFriend – Season of Memories.</p><p>I was never in much doubt about this week’s choice, the only uncertainty being which iteration I should choose. I decided to feature the Inkigayo stage for two reasons. In the first place, I fell for the styling , even though I am not usually a fan of identical outfits. Secondly, that styling, reminiscent as it is of Japanese sailor suit school uniforms, complements the Jpop inspired sound of the song itself. </p><p>GFriend have not only drawn on Japanese musical styles, but have also, with songs like “Memoria”, achieved some notable successes with Japanese releases. That Japanese connection should remind us western kpop fans that we ought not to fall into occidentocentricity when fretting about whether kpop is becoming “too westernized”, because for GFriend, as for much of the industry, Japan matters as much as if not more than the west does. </p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/HRREVBqP1NE?si=MV0Wb1oK2FZLi8Q9" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/HRREVBqP1NE?si=MV0Wb1</span><span class="invisible">oK2FZLi8Q9</span></a></p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Kpop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kpop</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/KpopOfTheWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KpopOfTheWeek</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GFriend" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GFriend</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SeasonOfMemories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SeasonOfMemories</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GirlGroups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GirlGroups</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/JapanKoreaRelations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JapanKoreaRelations</span></a></p>

Jonathan Emmesedi<p>Yuju's heel broke during this "Season of Memories" stage. I am not sure exactly when it happens, but at 3:05 her left shoe seems damaged. Kudos to Yuju for dancing through this mishap!</p><p>When the stage began, I had looked at the footwear and picked out Yuju's as my favourite...</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Kpop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kpop</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/GFriend" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GFriend</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SeasonOfMemories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SeasonOfMemories</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Yuju" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Yuju</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/KpopStyling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KpopStyling</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/StageAccidents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StageAccidents</span></a></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/HYPZQLB2u3Q?si=KEwRXgGu4nGeJ5Wt" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtu.be/HYPZQLB2u3Q?si=KEwRXg</span><span class="invisible">Gu4nGeJ5Wt</span></a></p>
