K-pop girl group GFriend, after returning to the music scene the album “Time For Us,” appeared on Twitter Blueroom live Q&A on Monday evening to talk with fans and answer their questions.

The six girls, wearing shades of red and purple, arrived at the studio inside Twitter Korea’s headquarters situated on the 41st floor of a skyscraper in Gangnam. The bandmates couldn’t hide their excitement to come back to the Twitter Blueroom session, saying they had an amazing time chatting with their official fan group Buddy, when they were here last year.

To start off, GFriend showed the freshly-released music video of the title track “Sunrise,” and talked about their second studio album.

“The album ‘Time For Us’ is a special album for us and Buddy, marking the fourth year anniversary of debut,” said Eunha.

“The title song ‘Sunrise’ is a song that depicts a feeling of love as a sun that hasn’t risen,” said Sowon. “You can enjoy GFriend’s deeper sensitivity portrayed in the song.”

The girls took turns to read out the questions by the fans and answer them.

When asked what the girls were craving, the members shouted out what they wanted to eat, despite having just eaten dinner before the program. Yerin was craving spicy chicken feet and ice cream cake, while Sowon wanted to eat hot jokbal, (boiled pig’s feet).

Fans asked what the members looked like.

They were laughing, trying to think of different animals the girls resembled. “I look like a bird, perhaps similar to this Twitter blue bird,” said Yerin.

“I don’t know what I resemble, but I heard someone say I look like an elk,” said SinB. Umji said SinB looks like a pretty bat. Members think Sowon looks like kangaroo, while Umji admitted she resembles a frog or a raccoon. Eunha looks like a squirrel and a beaver, according to the members.

The girls, who are busy promoting the new album, were asked what they would do if they had the day off. SinB said she wanted to travel.

“I want to watch all the episodes of TV drama “Sky Castle,” all at once,” said Yuju, and sang parts of the drama’s soundtrack “We All Lie.”

If members can time-travel and go back to before the debut in 2015, what would they do?

“Before our debut, I was scared of lot of things,” said Umji. “I would like to be less afraid.”

Sowon said she would try to find ways to look even prettier. “When I look at past pictures, I get surprised a lot,” she said.

“I would travel often,” said SinB. “Since I was a trainee from a young age, I didn’t get to go to many of school field trips, retreat and picnics.”

“I would express my opinion more to our company,” said Yerin.

The hour went by quickly, and the girls were sad to finish the broadcast. GFriend’s session garnered more than 500,000 viewers during the live broadcast.

“Thank you for making us such a good memory,” said Yerin. “It’s really happy to finish the day with a smile,” said Yerin.

“Even though we are really tired, going live with the members is so much fun and gives us energy. We would love to return to Twitter Blueroom live after the next comeback.”

“Today, we had a busy schedule and I was worried that we might get tired. But thanks to more than 500,000 viewers who gave us strength, and smile at our funny behavior, we had a great time. Thank you, Buddy,” said Umji.
