The group GFRIEND, with the members Sowon, Yerin, Eunha, Yuju, SinB, and Umji, said their satisfaction with the album is very high.

GFRIEND held a comeback showcase at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjang-dong, Seoul, at 4 pm on Monday. And the group released their mini-album "回:LABYRINTH" through local and overseas music sites at 6 pm on the same day.

When asked about the differentiating parts of the comeback album from the previous one, the group stated, "The biggest difference is that the songs on the album are connected (from the story)." It is also the first album without a face on the cover of GFRIEND, they added.

GFRIEND has also stated, "It is not decided yet whether the album may turn as a series. Please look forward to our next album," adding, "It's true that something is a new start."

The group has also exclaimed as Big Hit Entertainment acquires source Music Entertainment, "Producer Bang Si-hyuk gave me much support for not only writing the lyrics but also producing the entire album. I'm so satisfied with the album, and I'm looking forward to it. Thankfully, I was able to prepare harder because of my help."

回:LABYRINTH' is an album that talks about a girl's moment of choice in her growth process. Looking back at the past that was pure, the girl captured a mixture of emotions agonizing over what decision she'll choose from then. In particular, the album drew more attention in that it was the first result of GFRIEND's agency Source Music collaboration with BTS' agency Big Hit Entertainment.

The title track "Crossroads" is a dance song featuring intense string sounds and a reversal of scenes based on beautiful melodies. The sound is impressive with its signature lyrical yet dynamic atmosphere. The state of mind at the crossroads expressed with "intersection," and the complex mind stood in this word, wondering whether to stop here or cross over or go in which direction you take.

The previous day, the title track topped the real-time charts such as Bugs, Soribada and Vibe shortly after the release of the song. It also topped real-time charts on major music sites such as Genie and Melon. Including Genie, Bugs, and Soribada, all of the tracks also topped the charts "Labyrinth," "Here We Are," "Eclipse," "Dreamcatcher," and "From Me" have entered the charts.

Overseas responses are also hot. Shortly after the release, the album topped iTunes "Top Albums" charts in 11 regions around the world, including Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Peru, and Israel.

This GFRIEND's album was the first to be released by Source Music since it was incorporated under the global group's label "BTS." Led by Bang Si-hyuk, the chief producer of Big Hit Entertainment, the producers of Big Hit Division, including Adora and Franz, participated in the album and expanded their group's music narrative.
