f(x) recently visited Vietnam for the next episode of their variety show, MBC every1 ‘f(x) Koala’.

In order to fully experience the essence of Vietnam, the members dressed up in the traditional Ao Dai dresses to participate in the Miss Saigon pageant.

During the short time they had on stage, the members showed their personal talents and enthusiasm to the audience. In particular, Sulli, who was sulking for not having a personal talent, ended up doing an improvised gag that even made the native Vietnamese citizens fall into laughter.

As the episode is to be broadcast on New Year’s Day, the members also cooked rice cake soup for the Koreans living in Vietnam to celebrate the New Year.

f(x)'s Amber was pulled from all group activities last June due to her ankle injury. Fans had been worried about whether she would be leaving the group, as she had disappeared for six months, resting her ankle in the US. However, it looks like fans could finally breathe a sigh of relief, as Amber is now back in Korea, and was recently spotted on January 2nd at SHINee's two-day concert!

SM Entertainment stated: "Amber has returned to Korea for the year-end. It is true that she visited SHINee’s concert. Her condition has improved a lot after resting in the U.S. Amber will continue to rest while preparing for f(x)’s next album. We are currently deciding on the date for their comeback

Συμπέρασμα:όλος ο καλός ο κόσμος ήταν στων Shinee τη συναυλία η Amber θα έλειπε;(μελοντι τρελαίνομαι για την υπογραφή σου) Αυτό ήθελε να πeι ο ποιητής?

Girl group f(x) – known for their original and experimental melodies and code-like lyrics with LA chA TA, Chu~♡, and NU ABO – announced their official comeback date. Since their Nu ABO promotions, each of the five members has been busy focusing on their individual activities by appearing in various reality programs, musicals, sitcoms, and music shows. Victoria, Sulli, Krystal, Luna, and Amber will once again unite for their first full album Pinocchio.

Many fans were speculating whether Amber would remain part of the group due to her ankle injury. They can all take a deep breath of relief as she’s been confirmed to have rejoined her members. It’s been a year since they’ve released their most recent album Nu ABO, and Pinocchio promises to show everything fans love about f(x) – their distinctive yet energetic melodies and lyrics along with their polished performances.

With their comeback just around the corner, SM Entertainment plans to release individual concept photos on f(x)’s official website (http://fx.smtown.com) starting today April 7th to April 11th. The teaser photo of Krystal was released today; and she displayed a mysterious yet fierce image. Now that the first teaser of f(x)’s full album has been revealed, fans are showing even more anticipation and enthusiasm as they wait for April 20th.

So it looks like we will be able to see all five f(x) girls—Victoria, Amber, Luna, Sulli, Crystal—together again this time. f(x), who is preparing for the release of their first official album “Pinocchio” on April 20th, has announced that they will release their title song “Pinocchio” in advance on April 18th midnight through various music portal websites, such as Melon and Bugs Music.
The song “Pinocchio” is an electronic pop dance song with a strong yet restrained beat and unique guitar riff. The song embodies the pure curiosity of a girl who learns about love through the children’s story character Pinocchio.

f(x) will release the “Pinocchio” MV teaser on the 15th, prior to the song release on the 18th, and make their comeback performance on KBS’s “Music Bank” on the 22nd.

f(x) almost was the ‘Bomb’




On April 23th, the members of f(x), after making their comeback with “Pinocchio”, held an interview with KBS “Entertainment Relay”.
During this broadcast, the reporter asked, “Was there team names other than f(x)?”. To the question, the members answered, “There were a variety of group names that we could have chosen from, some including: ‘the Bomb’, ‘Flowers’, and ‘Miyaho” (because it sounds similar to a cat’s cry, ‘meow’). At one point, we were going to introduce ourselves with ‘Hello! We are group Miyaho!’ and make a cat’s meow sound while posing cutely.”

She also wrote, “It’s sad that this is the last show for TVXQ. But f(x) will work harder because they really support us~ Please love them too.”

First 1st Place Since Debut’ f(x) “Is This a Hidden Camera…Can’t Believe It” Emotional Reflection


[Reporter Jang Jinri] f(x), who occupied the 1st place position for the first time since their debut, revealed their emotion-filled thoughts with hot tears.

On the evening of the 29th f(x) surpassed 4minute’s “Mirror Mirror” with their full album title song “Pinocchio” and occupied 1st place on “Music Bank” which was held at KBS’s Annex Open Hall in Seoul’s Yeouido. f(x), who rose to 1st place for the first time since their debut, was unable to leave the stage and shed many tears for a long time even after the broadcast ended.



f(x), whom we met after the live broadcast in the waiting room for “Music Bank,” weren’t able to speak up easily. The waiting room was quickly transformed into a sea of tears with stylists and staff members, and of course the members of f(x), being thrilled and shedding tears for f(x)’s first 1st place.

f(x) shared their emotion-filled thoughts by saying “Honestly, right now in this moment we still can’t believe we got 1st place,” and “We’re grateful to everyone who has loved us.”

f(x)’s member Amber expressed her happiness as she repeatedly said “Is this perhaps a hidden camera prank,” and Krystal shed tears as she said “I’m just happy. Truthfully I can’t think of anything right now.” Luna and Victoria continued to weep from the emotion of winning 1st place and were unable to say anything, and Sulli said “I have bad eyesight so at first I wasn’t able to clearly see the screen that was announcing 1st place. But then the other sunbaenims began to congratulate us and Victoria unnie suddenly began to cry so it was at that point when I realized it,” and revealed her thoughts on winning 1st place as she also shed tears.

Meanwhile f(x) is experiencing a surge in popularity with their first full album Pinocchio.

f(x) gives a behind-the-scenes tour of their ‘Music Bank’ waiting room



The set of KBS’s “Music Bank” was recently nicknamed the ‘warzone of idols’ thanks to the many debuts and comebacks this month. Over 100 staff members and artists bustled in the hallways each week, creating a thick feeling of tension as they make last-minute checks on everything they’ve prepared months for.

At the center of such activity is girl group f(x), who recently made their comeback after a year-long hiatus. The girls took fans behind-the-scenes for a sel-ca tour of their waiting room. Luna expressed, “The waiting room is where sweat and tears co-exist.”

Her heart is still beating over the “Pinocchio” win, as she explained, “That day, our members cried nonstop all day starting in the morning. Because it was the day that we were to appear on a music program, we all felt different from the moment we stepped in our waiting room. The five of us were on the same page, and we just kept confessing everything we felt sorry for that day. We opened up our hearts and consoled each other through tears. We didn’t even think about winning, but we somehow won on top of that. Holding each other close, we really cried nonstop.”

As K-pop fans know, artists must spend their entire day at the broadcast hall on days they’re to appear on music programs. They rehearse three to four times and can’t leave the scene until they’re done with their live broadcast. f(x) arrived at 9:00 AM and rushed back and forth to get their hair, make-up, and outfits coordinated. Once they quickly grab a meal, they finally have time to breathe and rest.



Krystal and Luna browse the ‘net using a tablet PC while Amber enjoys playing with a rubix cube. No matter how hard the combination, she’s able to complete it in 30 to 40 seconds flat. Meanwhile, Sulli and Victoria came up with unique styles and took sel-cas to fill the time.

Brian, who’s in the waiting room next door, stopped by to chat with the girls before junior groups like X-5 and Rania briefly made visits to greet their seniors.
f(x) stated, “Because there are so many idols these days, people think that we’re all in a competition, but we’re not like that at all. We’re all close friends, seniors, and juniors, and all hope to learn something from each other. There isn’t any fierce competition at all.”

Luna named IU as a friend that she got close with through the waiting room. “When IU was promoting ‘Marshmallow’, someone told me that we were the same age. We once used the same waiting room so I knew that this was my chance. I left her a note saying I wanted to be friends, and we’ve become best friends ever since.”

Concluding their interview, the girls revealed, “The stage music is so loud that we can’t hear what the person next to us is saying. We’d like for them to make a separate room for people to share secrets in.”

MORE GIRL GROUP MEMBERS FROM ABROAD THRIVE IN K-POP

More Girl Group Members From Abroad Thrive in K-PopAs K-Pop goes global at furious speed, who are the girl group members that are thriving in this fast changing industry?

The recently unveiled T-ara member Dani grew up in America since she was four years old. She’s tall and beautiful and it’s hard to imagine she’s still only a kid. Some netizens have said, “She’s probably 15 years old since she lived in America”, and they couldn’t hide their amazement at how mature Dani looks. She is the latest addition to the girl group members to come from abroad.

In the ‘National Girl Group’ Girls’ Generation there are members Jessica and Tiffany who are from abroad. It isn’t that these girls have American names for style, but these two were actually born and raised in America. Their impact on the team was deeply appreciated when Girls’ Generation officially kicked off their international promotion and the two members were able to lead series of interviews in fluent English.

In Wonder Girls there are members Yubin and Hyerim. Yubin joined the group to replace an outgoing member and she had made a strong impression with her rapping skills in English. Hyerim goes a notch further with her ability to speak Korean, English, Mandarin, and Cantonese fluently.

Group Kara has members Nicole and Han Seung Yeon who’ve lived abroad. Nicole was born in America and early on as a member of Kara she was loved by the viewers of KBS ‘Golden Bell’ for her cute Korean pronunciation. She contributed in a big way to increase the popularity of Kara in Korea.

2NE1 is another group with many members who’ve come from abroad. Out of the 4 members CL, Park Bom, and Sandara Park have lived outside of Korea. Sandara Park was famously known as ‘Boa of Philippines’ before she debuted and CL speaks English, French, and Japanese fluently. CL is always leading the interviews when the group is promoting abroad.

Lastly, f(x) has three members from abroad. Krystal and Amber were born in America and Victoria is a Chinese national. Combined, f(x) members can speak Korean, English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.

In a recent broadcast of KBS ‘Win Win’ Boa has mentioned how difficult it was to learn English and Japanese so she could promote internationally. As K-Pop goes global it is only natural that K-Pop groups are made of members of diverse background and having international members can become a big advantage as these groups branch out internationally.

f(x)’s Victoria surprised by one of her related search words



f(x)‘s Victoria shared a hilarious episode that she had with a portal site’s related search words.

The group made a comeback with their new mini-album ‘Electric Shock‘, and guested on June 14th’s broadcast of Mnet‘s ‘Wide Entertainment News‘.

The topic of ridiculous related search words came up, and member Amber revealed, “I know Victoria unnie has ‘Victoria pregnant’ [as a related search term].”

Victoria explained, “I was flustered at the time too. I found out later that it was soccer player David Beckham‘s wife, Victoria Beckham, who was pregnant. However, since ‘Victoria pregnant’ kept appearing, people asked me ‘Are you pregnant?‘”

In related news, f(x) started promotions of “Electric Shock” and “Jet” on this week’s ‘M! Countdown‘.
