His new song title 'Gfriend' offended Girlfriend fans because the title is stylized like the group's English name and because the song has sexual lyrics.

1. [+697, -42] I mean, the group's the one that chose to use a really common name. Can this really be deemed problematic?

2. [+571, -36] This is nothing to be apologizing for. That's his song title, why should he sorry to the group for..? Hmm..

3. [+493, -36] Is this really something he needs to be apologizing for... It's not like that girl group is the only Girlfriend that exists

4. [+26, -3] The best replies aren't getting it... his song title isn't 'Girlfriend', it's 'Gfriend', which is how Girlfriend stylizes their name in English. And go read the lyrics from start to finish before leaving a comment...

5. [+24, -6] This wouldn't be an issue if his song title was 'Girlfriend', the Korean word. However, Girlfriend the group stylizes their name in English as 'Gfriend' and introduces themselves like that too, so of course fans are going to think of the group when you title a song like that. I bet fans would even be understanding if the song had nice lyrics but it's a song about make up sex which is why fans aren't letting it go... Fans aren't being overly sensitive just because of the name 'Girlfriend' ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ

6. [+14, -1] You fools, go read the lyrics before writing a comment ㅋㅋ

7. [+7, -1] Feels like Verbal Jint is getting hate for nothing;;;; you guys don't own the name 'Girlfriend';;;

8. [+5, -0] I think it's worthy of an issue since he titled it 'Gfriend' and not 'Girlfriend'... most people don't write girlfriend as 'Gfriend' in English
