GFriend is boycotting MBC's 'Show! Music Core' for comeback promotions. 

According to an exclusive report by Xports News on the 14th, although GFriend just made their comeback on the 13th, fans won't be able to see the group perform on 'Music Core'. 

This is because BTS' agency, Big Hit, that recently acquired GFriend's agency Source Music in July 2019, is still in conflict with MBC since last year. This was caused by BTS' inability to appear in the "2019 MBC Music Festival" due to their overseas schedule. 

Afterwards, Gfriend was also excluded from the 2019 MBC Music Festival and Seventeen's agency Pledis, acquired by Big Hit at the time, also failed to appear on 'Music Core.'

In the meantime, GFriend will unveil their comeback song 'Apple' for the first time on Mnet's 'M Countdown' on the 16th.
