IMPORTANT!!! I have moved to Korea since I created this blog, and I have discovered that many videos – especially ones that are uploaded by fans with English subs – have been blocked on Korean YouTube and other websites. So unfortunately, I cannot watch most of these videos or verify the links anymore. This also means I cannot add as many videos as before because they simply are not available in my region. I’m sorry if you click on something and it’s no longer there, but there’s not really any way for me to check! – Katherine
Approximate Promotion Period: Fall 2015
NOTE: Like with “Glass Bead,” GFriend did not have any major variety show appearances for their initial promotions with “Me Gustas Tu.” I’m pretty sure this was because they came from a very small company. However, they gained a lot of public attention for their professionalism while performing on a slippery stage at a concert. Because of this, they made several more appearances after their initial promotions – which is why everything is in the fall rather than the summer (when they first released the song).
RUNNING MAN
This episode’s theme had the cast trying to find 100 celebrities to compete against 100 professional athletes (GOT7 and SEVENTEEN also make appearances). There’s not much to GFriend’s appearance, as they just perform their two songs during a break. But you can watch all the guys fanboying over them.
