Girl Friends

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Girl Friends is a K-Pop group made up of real-life friends Yuri and Chae Rina. Considered veterans of the K-pop industry, both Yuri and Chae Rina have previously been part of major Korean pop groups: Yuri in Cool, and Chae in Roora (and eventually Diva for a short period as well). They met each other in the 1990s while performing with their respective groups, and have since cultivated a friendship that has lasted for many years. Although they have discussed making an album for some time, it was only in 2006 that they were able to find the time to do so. Their first single from their debut, Maybe I Love You, has been receiving much airplay, and Girl Friends have been frequently performing this song on the various Korean music shows. However, the album has not followed the single's popularity; it has barely managed to sell 8000 copies by the end of August, according to the Music Industry Association of Korea [1].

Although Yuri has continued to appear on variety shows, promotional activities have ceased (but a music video was released for a separate song).
