...looks interesting lol

I want to kill whoever dressed Amber in clothes that are 5x too large on her small frame ugh

 

I have to confess that I never liked anything cowboy/western related. But it's an f(x) song so how bad can it be ? I wonder if the song was produced/chosen by Avex or SM because looking at avex efforts for f(x) I'm not expecting much.

The MV is out !!!

 

Edit:

 

Finshed watching the MV... phew that was a crazy ride.

Really like the song. I love the traditional Japanese instrument (don't know the name) in the instrumental and O adore Amber's voice here.

 

I get what they were going for in the MV but because it was on a low budget it emded up looking lq and cheap.

Of course it (and Ranting Monkey) comes out when I'm on campus and don't have any headphones to listen in the library

BUT YASSSSS I'M SO EXCITED

Oh no

Have you listened to any of snippets yet ?

Sooo there are a lot of updates

 

Apparently Ksuke and Amber's 'Breathe Again' MV will be released on 9/9

People of twitter are saying it's out at 12am kst so in under 2 hours !!!!

 

Vic studio update

 

Some lq pics of Jungsis at a store opening

 

Luna

 

 

An English teacher who was there said that she spoke to students for 30 mins and taled about her YT channel. The yeacher didn't know exactly what Luna was talking about since she doesn't speak Korean. Luna filmed the whole thing so we'll probs see the footage on Alphabet.

 

Sorry for just embedding tweets I'm on mobile so this is a lot easier.

Victoria is really mad and is venting on weibo

 

 

 

 

Vic at the airport

 

 

I can't get over these pics.... they're screaming "caption me!"

When will fx have a comeback ?

Nothing is confirmed yet but it doesn't look like it'll be this year.

Vic and Yang Yang are both artists under Yue Kai Entertainment. Vic's manager (the founder of Yue Kai) is Jia Shi Kai and the female manager of Yang Yang (the director of Yue Kai)

 

Victoria's Studio is managed by Jia Shi Kai and not Vic herself. He is the boss that decides pretty much everything from projects to schedules. Victoria's Studio is just small sub company of Yue Kai Ent under Victoria's name. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for clearing that up ^^

So basically she is signed with another agency for her Chinese actvities. I don't get the point of her having her own studio then, it's just in name tbh. Makes me wonder how much control she has over her own actvities and choosing what acting projects she wants to be part of.

So I'm seeing some Vic stans wanting her to leave her managment in China because of the whole Yang Yang mess. How is that female manager that defended Yangx2 in any way related to Vic or her actvities ? I thought she had her own studio and employed that male manager whose name I have forgotten ? If she didn't like how he was treating her (in a professional sense) then couldn't she just fire him ? From my understanding she is her own boss in China and her manager is supposed to help her get deals when it comes to her acting and commercial works. While I'm personally not a fan of her acting works in China I always assumed that everything was fine with her managment ever since she created her studio.

I wrote this essay length post for the anniversary yesterday but OH decided to crash and everything I have written is gone T.T

 

Honestly I'm just happy that the future for f(x) is looking bright and secure. It's been such a wild ride and I'm just glad that I was able to be part of it. This thread and you guys are probably what made me stay an active fan for such a long time. It's now quieter than it has ever been but I'll always treasure our fun and somtimes heated discussions, crazy spazzing and our obsession with betting lol. I'm happy that there are always new fans joining and keeping the thread alive.

Happy 7th anniversary everyone !

 

I'm wondering what SM is thinking tbh.

Where is the D4DS tour we were promised ? I wasn't expecting a world tour with Europe/USA dates but where are the Asian dates ? So far we only have Thailand confirmed but what about China, Taiwan, Singapore etc ? You can't tell me that organisers are not trying to get f(x) because I'm seeing groups with smaller fanbases doing concerts.

I'm not the one for overworking the girls but it's been at least a month since Krystal wrapped up her drama, Luna finished promos in July. I know Amber is working on her album/project as well as shooting for 'Entourage' but it's a minor role. Vic is filming but she always is and will continue do so in future. The girls will always be busy with individual stuff but it shouldn't stop them from doing concerts. Other groups (SM or not) always have members doing their own thing but still do tours, why can't f(x) ? It's disappointing honestly.

 

 

4. Another kind of signature of f(x) songs (up to 2014 anyway) are those random snippets of talking (but not rapping), usually done by Sulli or Vic (eg. "gappunhan! deo ppareun!" in Step)

 

f(x) has made sing/talking into its own genre tbh.

Well it hasn't been a full year since the release of 4 walls. I think he means "In just one year"

True !

omgg is it available for iPhone 6s and where do I get one???

I have no idea

That person also posted this which makes me think they have done it themselves ?

 

 

 

 

Is Kyle Hanagami getting 2016 mixed up with 2015 lol ? 4walls was last year....

I can't stop laughing

 

But yeah I consider it solved now

Victoria reminded me of her 'Nothing is free in this world' there

Omg

Luna getting teased by the members is the funniest things ever. Victoria is killing me with her one liners.

I'm usually not into these type of phone cases but I REALLY WANT THIS ONE

 

I had a very strange and sad f(x) dream last night.

 

It was like I was watching some sort of documentary or a Forensic Files-type show. The first part I dreamed was LAV talking about Krystal and about f(x), and it was really like I was watching a show. One half of the screen was video footage of Krystal from magazine shoots and things like that, and the other half of the screen was split into three little windows for LAV's faces while they talked. Then they said that they hadn't seen Krystal in a while because she was somewhere in the US, and they weren't all that concerned because she was supposed to be with Jessica and other friends. They were more concerned about Sulli, because she'd just found out she couldn't have children for some reason (and there was a cut over to a physician saying it was common for busy girls her age because they would think they were fine and healthy because they were young and would also be too busy to go to the doctor, so things would go unnoticed). And while they were busy comforting her, they heard a rumor that Krystal had died somehow. They all said they didn't believe it, that there was no way it could happen because they would have heard from Jessica or from the company or from her parents. But then Luna said there was one person who would know. The shot changed to one of EXO Kai backstage of some concert, getting ready to go on stage. He told the interviewing person that he'd been dating Krystal for a while but hadn't heard from her. The interviewer told him about the rumor and he ran off further backstage, and when the interviewer followed him, they could hear Kai on the phone talking to Amber, saying that she would be the only one that Krystal would pick up the phone to talk to while she was away. And then it went back to the first kind of shot, but on the one half there was a slideshow playing of pictures of Krystal and Amber, while the other half still had three little windows for LAV but Amber's was bigger. The look on her face was heartbreaking. And of course, I woke up before I could figure out why they focused on Amber or if Krystal had died. It felt scarily real though, as if when I woke up there would be the same documentary show waiting for me.

 

Wow that really intense !

My f(x) dreams are pretty basic compared to yours lol

So i was kinda looking back at the thread to see what f(x) was up to last year this time round. They were recording songs.... ;~~;

Since we're on the topic of Sulli anyways..

 

 

 

That manager that always looks worried is so adorable lol I love his interaction with the girls because he's seem really nice

Interesting responses !!!

 

Un lurk mode...

Overrated title track: definitely Hot summer but the hook is really good when it's summer you definitely will sing it regardless which Era we are in, especially where I am now.

Underrated title track: RPPP of course attention boys and the colors and the epic Ness of pink tape.

 

 

/unlurking to play along

Overrated: EShock, it got me into f(x) and kpop overall but it's a very plain and formulaic kpop song (not as bad as Hot Summer though in terms of being generic). It's still catchy which is what that kind of song was built for, but I appreciate other title tracks.

 

Underrated: NU ABO, probably still my favorite title track from them. It truly did deserve to win at the time at least one stage but oh well. EShock's numerous wins made up for it. NU ABO also signifies what I feel is more "Experimental" in f(x)'s sound that we hear today.

 

/lurk mode re-initiated

 

 

Welcome F(am), I'm a lurker just like you 

 

 

I don't think I've posted in this thread before, hi everyone! I've actually been an f(x) fan for quite some time now, but I only recently started posting on OH. SNSD was what drew me into kpop, but f(x) made me stay in it - both the members and of course the discography/MV concepts.

To join in on the debate, I'd say Nu ABO/RPPP/ Red Light are all really great title tracks, if only because of how "experimental" they are by kpop standards. It actually still blows my mind how Nu ABO made it into a title track for such a young group, the song has no chord progression, the chorus is "na-na-na-na", and most of all, just listen to the backing track lol. It's literally full of random house noises, and it sounds a lot like the house music of 2007-8 (could almost imagine guys like Mr Oizo or SebastiAn doing it...).
RPPP is a bit more conventional but the melodies were awesome (the harmonies before the first chorus!!), and the "eastern" sound was a nice touch.
And finally Red Light is just brillant, you get the same sing-talk as Electric Shock etc, trap textures and sounds, a reversed song structure ("trappy drop"-->high tempo chorus"), massive bass plunges, and of course that glorious Luna/Amber bridge.

So yeah this is my first post, I've been lurking for quite some time but I couldn't resist the temptation of spazzing on these amazing songs 

Y'all better not go back to lurking

 

 

Welp....

Looks like my attempt at reviving the thread was a complete and utter failure.

Overrated; pretty much the same as you. I seriously used to hate Electric Shock, but I've grown to like it. I think it's clear, however, that F(x) have way better songs that get less appreciated.

 

Underrated: Red Light. I seriously still get goosebumps while listening to it in full blast in my headphones. The whole album is a masterpiece.

I feel like when it comes to Red Light it got mixed opinions initially but a lot of people loved it after getting used to the transition. I often see threads on OH about which songs people hated at first and now love and RL always seems to come up. I want them to just perform the concert version from now on lol

I want to keep the thread moving so how about we have some discussion in between updates ? I'll start !

 

Since I just saw a thread about it which f(x) title tracks are the most overrated/underrrated ?

 

Overrated : E-shock

All the 'yeahs' and 'uh huhs' and 'ohs' in the song are really getting on my nerves. I liked it when it came out but I can't even watch the performances nowadays. The only reason I didn't choose HS is because I know the majority of the fandom doesn't't like it anyways.

 

Underrated: RPPP

This was a tough one but I ultimately chose RPPP because of all the hate it got when it came out. I think everyone was expecting something really different after seeing the teasers but I genuinely think it's a good song. However, I do agree that it doesn't really represent Pink Tape as an album.

 

Anticipating your answers !!!

Just heard that Vic's drama with Rain will have 80 episodes and will take at least 4 months to film. I don't like watching abything more than 20 eps personally but I think 80 is an overkill. Just imagine the amount of filler episodes....yikes.

Does anyone know anything about the plot ?

@Alex come and make sense of this mess please !

 

MELTING

Luna in round glasses is going to be the death of me OTL

Thanks guys !

does anyone remember this cover bc its still flawless

 

Yessss !

I absolutely love this cover but it's been a while since I listened to it.

btw all this time when I was lurking I assumed Jon Snow changed his/her name to Llamaber lol Don't know why I got these two users mixed up lol
