  1. Have I intro'd myself here...? No? Well, hello everyone! I'm Misora, and you can call me Mis or Miso if you desire. *Bows* Sorry if I already said hi here somewhere... I tend to just lurk for awhile before I say anything, so I forget which threads I've formally announced my presence in. :derp:

     

    Sorta random question, and this may not be the place for it (sorry!) but how likely do you think HenBer is? I keep seeing all these little hints dropped in twitter and insta for weeks now, and just wanted to ask all my fellow Amber stans if you all think this is a likelihood.

     

    I also think that her comeback will be soon. Like, within the next month. Not sure about WTP comeback, since she's probably going to be promoting for her solo stuff at the same time, but she might have time to pop an episode or two in there beforehand.[emoji2]

    I had a dream once that Amber and I were hanging out and she left her WTP idea notebook with me on accident. I KNEW ALL THE SECRETS!!!

     

    Hello Miso. I forgot to say hi lol

    I like henber :D they seem like a good friends to me but i like amber x everyone from her very inner circle. As long as she's happy :cry:

     

    apparently amber was spotted outside of sm building, so her cb may be sooner than we think :rlytearpls: :ahmagah: :rlytearpls: :ahmagah:

    hello, and welcome! i've been around for a few moths, my name is Lu. also to answer the hb question, it's a lot more likely now that say, 3 months ago haha. namber pretty much died when eric got married, and well, james was bro-zoned. (i think she said sth to her sister about the ships on ig?)

     

    i think games are a good way to revive the thread, but i know finding the right timing for everyone is gonna be hard bc of timezones/schedules. nevertheless, i'm down for games :)

    Nah, she has been going back and forth to sm lately, isnt she? I mean, it's nothing odd, we know that she has been preparing for he cb for months, but idk how soon.

     

    Also, she needs to grow healthy hair. Grrrrrrr i want blackber

    Hey, i'm a lurker of these threads and ​FINALLY made a acc :imstupid: :imstupid: . I just wanted to ask why a lot of people seem to think that amber is a lesbian....? There is nothing wrong with being one/thinking someone is but like it seems to me like its stereotypes at this point. I've never seen her show romantic interest in females so i see no reason to assume she likes women. I personal think she is a straight tomboy but that's just my opinion (maybe i'm just delulu and cant see it :derp: ) Shes beautiful either way though :hurr:

    hello and welcome!

    i've seen and heard that ppl discussed (and trolled) about this topic on her these days and that doesn't make me happy :( it doesn't matter what she is, people can assume and have opinions but i'd rather avoid the topic. it revolves around her only because she doesn't fit gender norm. i think as fans we should support her for her works, because that's what she is: a musician, an artist and a businesswoman, probably? she is super wonderful and talented girl, we can discuss about her works and future plans (and WTP that has been dead lol). she looks so good with anyone anyway, everyone falls for her charm ahhaah

     

     

    just a little personal story, 2 years ago i had boyish haircut and every new people i met asked me "are you lesbian?" but now that i act more girly and grew my hair, no one never assumed that i'm gay. funny, right?

     

     

    her last interview with peter was really good! you should listen! she is the cutest nerd, i want her as a wife T-T

     

     

     

    also, she mentioned about gender norm (which is unrelated to this and thanks to friends who reminded me but i like it anyway) and she said: "Why does that matter to you? You don't know any better."

    Hello~~~

    What did you guys think of Borders?

    I really love it, and it's been on repeat since this its release.

    Here is a translation of someone talking about his/her feelings on the song, if you'd like to read it:

     

     

    [in my view] the song is not about gender identity, but a personal story, one about her life.

    Both the woman and the man in the movie are Amber. While Amber has been comfortable being boyish, she’s lived thinking herself to be a problem, feeling apologetic to her parents…that it’s all her fault…I think she expresses inner Amber and external Amber through the duality of female and male genders. In the movie their motions overlap, so it’s possible to see them as one à this led me to think that they represent Amber. The mother comforts Amber, who is suffering, to be unafraid. Hence they leave together, smiling.

    And as for Amber trapped in the box, they are other aspects of Amber: prejudices, biases, people who judge based on appearance, people who are trapped in their own insistence, “you are a girl~†or “you are a boy~â€

    Amber said she wrote the song to help people, saying “even in darkness there is hope, hope you gain strength.â€

    People often picture Amber as “always bright and cheerful!â€â€¦I believe she also has moments of sadness, darkness, and hardships. Everyone says Amber is friendly, but I think she was actually shy, and she adopted the friendly approach to overcome the awkwardness.

    And it was her mother, family, friends who support her, and her fans who helped Amber. And after examining her dark moments, she said she wrote this song so that people would hope even in darkness.

    I want to thank Amber for writing the song and producing with the DPR team in order to share a message and personal story that’s not easy at all. I am sure everyone experiences different feelings and have interpretations, but I want people to know that this is one of them. I believe interpretations bent on one aspect are a part of the “prejudices/biases†that Amber wants to illustrate.

    Amber has always said “Amber is Amberâ€. And the words that were particularly painful for Amber, I believe, have to do with gender and orientation. When using the restroom, for example, she sometimes had to explain to the housekeeping staff that she is a girl…and people who decide based on appearance what her orientation might be…these have wounded her in the past. I am not her close associate, but having observed her as a fan for a long time, Amber gets excited when she talks about her ideal type, smiling, and shyly blushing to the tips of her ears.

    Her orientation is something only she knows, not her fans or the public. I trust her words on the matter and support her.

    What I want to say is that unless Amber herself makes public her orientation, please let’s not speak about it as if it’s official.

    Amber wants to say that there’s hope in this dark world, and hopes that people would gain strength from her song…please watch the movie and read the introduction to her song.

     

    Everyone says Amber is friendly, but I think she was actually shy, and she adopted the friendly approach to overcome the awkwardness.

     

    ;-;

     

    yes she is. not a social butterfly but she is very shy. she works so hard to approach people and to overcome her fear over people and to make friends. that's why her inner circle is so exclusive and you see her with same people so often.

    I've been really into Amber lately (bc she ke ai) so i've been lurking here a lot.

     

    Jinnabit is probably back again because there have been rumours (idk if it was on pann or what) that Amber would come back by mid March - April... Probably she's heard of that and she's doing something to ruin Amber. The woman should just get a job. lol

    omgggg new member! welcomr and please be active (although i rarely visiy OH these days too). love amburrrr!

    Welcome !!

  6. hi thread after so long *cry* i miss people here. i miss last year when this thread was busy and super active

     

    ugh jinnabit issue started spreading everywhere. why is she even back? why now and why amber? :( i reported her, you guya should too

     

     

     

    jinnabit is a sad, sad human being who needs help, seriously. She has nothing to do with fx now, why she is going after amber is beyond my ability to understand. I believe kfans have captured and saved her tweets (she erased some I think), and they were discussing how to approach the managers...sigh. There is not time enough to be kind to people you love, why waste energy hating?

     

     

     

    I was asked to translate comments about reactions to the SIA performance, and I was searching for bloggers who were there and would have more substantive content...so here are two: enjoy! (Luna fans please come, too)

     

    http://blog.naver.com/alslzpsals/220657508243 (I think blogger is a f(x) fan, especially Luna)

     

     

    Can’t help but watch speechless

    I went to the fx concert and got goosebumps from watching Luna

    Rewatching this clip, I realize her stage presence is enormous

    Singing and dancing are of course great, on top of that the energy,

    ability to connect with the audience is amazing if you see her in real life

    She should not be introduced as just another member of girl group

    I’m sure this is the result of effort full of blood and tears

    Anyways I post the clip here because I really loved their stage

    Amber and Luna’s harmonization at the end was beautiful

    They collaborated with a famous DJ from overseas

    It was great to watch because it didn’t feel like a mismatch or like

    They were wearing someone else’s clothes.

    Seen this way, I think f(x)’s energy and atmosphere would be successful

    Not only in the Asian market but in the English speaking world, as well.

    Main vocalist Luna’s voice and technique sound great with pop songs.

    Yesterday at SIA 2016, it was Oliver Heldens’ first visit to Korea.

    The collaboration with f(x) left an impression for various (!) reasons.

    I heard ‘Shades of Grey’ with Luna and Amber’s voice, I thought their

    voice complimented the song and its atmosphere surprisingly well.

    I don’t really listen to idol music so I never knew that Amber and Luna

    sing so well.

    The remix with 4walls was great, Oliver Heldens’ ‘Hell Dance’ was as always, good kkk

    But I am left with a sense of wondering…is this the best stage they could do?

     

    Like last year’s Diplo and CL…inviting a famous DJ and the audience watching the show

    Calmly like they are at a fashion show, just rewatching the clip makes me feel apologetic kkkk

    I mean in spite of the effort singers and DJ were putting in to the performance;;

    Diplo and Oliver are not DJs who usually receive this kind of reception :(

    He [Heldens] posted on facebook, he is a good guy, it must be because he’s still young kkk

    In the comment section, I see Korean fans apologizing, hahahaha it’s sad/funny.

    Oliver see you next time at a big festival!

     

     

     

    comments in the naver TVcast section http://tvcast.naver.com/v/790200#comment_focus(fans and muggles alike hahaha)

     

     

    -Amber let's not just rap anymore, wasting your gifts! Amber and Luna's stage is daebak

    -wow...I knew Luna could sing from "Masked Singer", but Amber's voice is awesome. f(x) is a talented group, I have to admit

    -they were seriously great today

    -the best!! Amber and Luna's ability on stage, and their voices are impressive!!! I want to see them sing more often

    -Amber can sing, why is she compelled to rap all this time, voice is so good and live is jjang

    -Amber and Luna today I didn't feel the absence of other two members, your speech was so cute kkk, always support you, I wish daebak for Amber and Luna's solo

    -edm goddesses f(x) please put out more albums! So exciting!

    -Amber singing is love, always

    -rich with merriment kkk their live is great even with dancing

    -never embarrassed to be an f(x) fan...thank you for high quality albums and great stages...

    -Amber Luna edm stage, I loved it! So exciting!!

    -drunk on Amber's voice, sing so well

    -please let us have a unit album...really love it...Amber's voice is powerful when she raps but when she sings especially in the higher range she sounds really feminine it's exploding, her voice is husky and pretty and feminine...

    -their chemistry...

    -I just got injured by Amber's voice

    -maybe because I'm a fan, I got goosebumps just now, thank you f(x)

    -they should promote these two alone, it should be more than fine

    -I like Amber's rap but I want to see her singing more, her voice is honey, you are so good why aren't you on TV more, Amber and Luna's command of the stage I feel ragged, daebak for their solo

     

    ...and more...

     

     

    thank you so much bae â¤

  7. guuuurl why are you watching it from someone recording their screen, that shit's on youtube lol

     

     

    I forget things easily mother Nicole!!

    I already watched this last year lol

     

    It's hard for me to think of STB as an under-success personally mostly because it was STB that go me into Kpop. But I do understand from a business and sales perspective. It was an interesting choice to feature STB as the title track...It was the only song she didn't sing in. I feel like she took the safe route on that one. She wasn't as confident showcasing her singing. Now Lunber have worked on We Own the World with Justin OH and Sugarman plus the live concerts and tour. She's had more chances to slowly build her way up. Now I think it's her time to take a risk and do something no one expects. She needs to put out a vocal song with a tune that people want to keep re-listening to and with a sound that is only Amber. She is capable. Her and Gen wrote Goodbye Summer and two years later she releases the original and it's still a hit/favorite. It's amazing to me how every time she showcases just a little more vocal there is always a comment that is shocked that she could sing. It's obvious not everyone listens to an entire album. A lot of people judge by the title so she really needs to display her best one front and center.

    This is where I feel a vocal coach would be useful. Even if it's just a musically knowledgeable and honest friend. Someone with an outsider point of view who can build up her strengths and be constructive with her weaker points. I think she gets shy or insecure sometimes when singing. She's asked to sing I Just Wanna all the time and she always starts out nice and then bails and plays it off with jokes and dorking around (like in One Fine Day, on ASC multiple times, on the V app with Luna...) When she was asked to sing Mariah Carey on Radio Star she sounded really pretty and all the hosts praised her but her body language and face looked like she didn't believe it. When she has confidence and trusts herself and her voice to do what it's supposed to do it's gorgeous. If she practiced it she might be able to hit those notes and runs that she always says she can't do too.

    nonono correct me if im wrong, was Beautiful supposed to be the main track? It's SM decision to use STB as main track because of her rapper image. Just wanna flopped because people thought that it's only a remake of Goodbye Summer and it's in English (while it's actually the original song and it makes me mad lol).

     

    idt she would be a diva singer with crazy technique and vocal range. her selling point as a singer is not only her vocal but also her self-composed tracks. singinng wise, her voice is very nice, very clear and unique (i mean comparing to high pitched singers in kpop, she has warm tone and great vocal color and she stands out). she is capable enough especially bc her songs are mostly acoustic. she needs to practice more, every singers do, but i agree that the thing she needs to boost is her confidence. she is pretty comfortable singing/composing alone or around her friends but she lacks stage presence when it comes to performing/singing. one more thing, no matter how much I LOVE her soft high notes, she needs to realize her strength as an alto singer. lol

    It's really nice to see her and Peniel goofing around. These videos are appeasing while we're on a long What The Pineapple break.

    yes! i love it so much. did you guys see her expressions? she was so happy, so cute!

    Hilarious! I was crying from laughing too much hahahahah.

     

    I found an old translation of the March 2015 Elle issue with Amber. I did a partial translation months ago, but I forgot to post it. :._.: I don't know if it was translated already, but it's worth reading again for anyone interested. So here it is.

     

     

    ‘The heart that never gives up’ is Amber’s strongest trait. “When I get into something, I want to be perfect. I don’t think too deeply about makeup or costume. But in the things I love, I am very persistent. While working on this album, I argued a lot with the producers (laughing). I had a specific vision in my mind. I wanted to reintroduce myself through this album.â€

     

    If her mini album is, as she describes, a ‘new self-introduction’, the corresponding song is ‘Beautiful’. “I wrote this song 3 years ago on my birthday. It’s a song that holds my true story.†As if she wanted to communicate her candor, she continued while meeting my eyes.

     

    “For most of my life I listened to people tell me ‘why aren’t you more feminine?’ Things like how a girl should be or act. I began to feel embarrassed, and disliked who I was. I wanted to hide, and thought about spending time alone. But at some point, it occurred to me that I don’t have to force myself to change. I started looking for beauty inside of me.â€

     

    Her change of heart continued like dominoes to the outside world. She found things she wanted to say, and naturally found the courage to reveal herself. It was Amber who asked her label to listen to her songs, and expressed her desire to make an album. She who had been more comfortable standing behind the other members.

     

    “Just as I had childhood role models, I think I’ve grown closer to being a role model to someone through f(x). I wish to be someone who has a positive impact on the people who look upon me. I also want to inspire a new image of femininity. I want to convey the message that we are beautiful without the need to compare ourselves to others.â€

     

    Amber’s definition of beauty and happiness are worth mulling over. “There are many people who are focused on what’s visible to the eye instead of true happiness. It’s possible for someone to be happy while spending time with a loved one or doing something they love, even if they are not wealthy. I count myself blessed. I grew up under the care of my parents, and I achieved my dream of becoming a singer. There is no reason to be not happy.â€

     

    On February 9 several days after the interview, the day lyrical movie to ‘Beautiful’ opened before the official release of the mini album, Amber tweeted in English and Korean. “I’ve held onto this song for 3 years. No matter what, you are all beautiful as you are.â€

     

    The lyrics flowed over the collection of Amber’s images from childhood to present, “Head hanging low I hide from the sky, the night is endless in my darkened heartâ€, the song intensified and continued singing, “I can fly without fear even if trapped in darkness, even the scars are beautiful to me.â€

     

    As I begin preparing a draft of the article, I looked over the pictures from the photoshoot. I saw tattoos in the shape of a cross on her left wrist, and music notes atop a stave on her right wrist. At what point, recalling what promises did she endure the pain of searing her flesh. I prayed that the courageous steps she’s taken with her honesty would create yet another meaning to imprint onto her life.

     

     

    thank you bae ⤠*kisses*

  9. why does every1 thinks that krystal is gay?


    i cant see her being stright D:
    i mean... yeah, she doesn't seem to be that interested in men.



    Do you believe her to be straight? I'd be interested to hear an opposition side

    For me the biggest points that pinged for her was
    -her large interest in Blue is the Warmest Color.
    -Her fangirling/crushing on the main character/ actress of that movie
    -She had an interview not too long ago..and common question that always has to be asked is ideal type. She kept using general words never referring directly to a man or guy. She completely dismissed even having an ideal type and says she waits for the "spark between people" and prefers to "go with the flow." There is nothing lost in translation here because the interview was done in English. There are a few interviews in the past that are similar and very general and gender neutral.
    -She is quite shy and reserved in personality which makes a person hard to read...some people say she isn't very expressive with emotion (which I disagree) I think the emotions she gives off are usually written all over her face.
    --> https://twitter.com/krystalbeinggay

    There are way better and more thorough analysis' on previous posts in this thread but these were summary things that first popped into my head.


    she also said couple of times and on her recent interview she wants androgynous style and she was more of a cool/handsome person than pretty (correct me if im wrong, i dont exactly remember)
