Girlgroup GFriend emphasized their sisterly love.
GFriend held "Navillera" Comeback Showcase broadcasted via Naver V-App on the afternoon of July 11, 2016.
That day Umji stated, "The rumors saying that me and SinB have bad relationship are NOT TRUE." Also "We are very close to each other, we just don't show it that much. We never badly thought of each other. I think people misunderstood it. If you see those (rumors), don't feel so bad, just laugh at it."
And she said with a bright smile, "All of us members are very close to each other."

Translator's Note:
During GFriend's Album Showcase, they addressed the rumors regarding Umji & SinB's relationship with each other.
The rumors flying around say that SinB and Umji are in bad terms and the they are spreading that the members, specially SinB, are bullying Umji, even if those aren't true.
The rumors stresses one of Umji' confession on one of the episodes (Episode 4) on MBC Music's One Fine Day wherein she said that she was not close with SinB "at first".
Umji confessed that during her trainee days, she was worried that the long time trainees might detest her for coming last in the group.
Upon saying "long time trainees" SinB reacted "Why? Why are you like this .. I don't hate you."
Umji continues that she really is "thankful to all the members".
SinB continued the conversation saying that she is "sorry to Umji and to be honest..." Then Eunha joked "You've hated her?" causing all of them to laugh.
SinB continued, "I really don't like her when she first came in because I already started my entertainment career since when I was young. And when Umji came in, a friend with no experience, I was like 'ah, okay let's see how good she is'."
"But it's not right to do that actually."
"I usually speak without much feeling, but I think back then, I would speak to Umji two times more cold than usual."
If we are to read until this part it would really seem like she really hated Umji.
But SinB explained further, "But that was resolved after entering the dorm. Since then, I decided to treat Umji even better."
Umji continued the conversation, "Although we're of the same age but because of greatly different backgrounds our friendship will be even deeper in the future instead. Honestly, we're friends and of the same age. Because of that, it makes her (SinB) an even larger source of support for me. I have many things to thank SinB for. We play together like sisters and you've (SinB) become my friend in this team as well. I'm really thankful. And when I have problems, she's always giving me tips from the sidelines" being overwhelmed with emotions that lead her to tear.
She also called SinB a "Tsundere". A term that originated from anime which means that the "characters are usually cold on the outside but sometimes show their warm sides to those who are close to them".
Here's the video of that conversation (the vid was set to start at 38:40 for Umji and SinB's confession)
