Opinion about mistreatment of f(x)


Recommended Posts

So first of all, I absolutely have nothing against f(x)! I love them so much and they are my favorite girl group and they are basically the reason why I am into kpop. So don't say I'm hating f(x). I just want to know if I am not the only one sharing this opinion or having this fears.

so basically I am afraid SM might want to "disband" f(x).. I mean they are extremly talented and are in the kpop industry since 2009 and haven't even done a solo concert.. Exo recently done one.. I think that's quite unfair since they are their hoobaes ( again, I'm not bashing anyone. I love Exo! )

Also f(x) has like one promotion per year.. ok in 2009 they had 2 songs but that was it. And have they ever got to film an exciting MV? I don't think so... they always look the same. Musicwise they had amazing songs the past years. And 'Pink Tape'? Best album of 2013 imo. But why didn't SM done more promotions? They were barely on variety shows :/ Ok Krystal had her drama but I don't get why SM didn't done more promotions. I think it's so sad and unfair. I don't think it's a bad problem we don't have a fandom name but if their hoobaes get a fandom name and f(x) does not, I'm going to freak out!

 

Alright that's my rant, dunno if anyone cares but if you do, tell me if you agree :)

Trust me, I know how you feel. But I think the "mistreatment" of f(x) is a little overblown.... It's not like they don't get promotions and they also making amazing music (with it selling fairly well). Could they have sold a lot albums if SM paid attention to them more? Of course. Should they have a solo concert? Duh. But they're not THAT bad off. It's more just frustrations since they've been out for so long and they don't have things a lot of groups have considering they're nearing their 5 year anniversary. There's been too many topics on this already though and it needs to stop being rubbed in other peoples faces

Can't really explain why they have no name for their fans yet...

 

Anyways, I feel f(x) is a lost cause to sm. Their albums have underperformed several times, even Pink Tape which some of you are obsessed over didn't even make it into the Top 10 year end charts.

ok tbh. yea they dont have it as good as other SM artist. but nameless are acting like fx hasnt released an album since debut and what not they actually have been doing great in terms of other groups.

they dont have a fan name(does that seriously matter), exo had a concert first(if fx had sold over 500,000 copies of their first album they prob would have gotten a concert too). fx is one of sm's poorest selling groups so of course they are gonna spend more time on the ones who were popular from that first album.

SM is not a family like company they are about money and fx is just a product, so they are gonna spend their time on the ones who make money. if you havent noticed even with the individual group members in sm, if you arent popular from the jump they really wont push you.

A lot of established groups have one comeback a year. It sucks for the fans but that's just kinda how it works..since they don't flop I don't think there's a reason to worry about them disbanding.

 

Plus Pink Tape was awesome and the teaser that came out before it is one of my favorite K-Pop things ever.

Actually, SM is doing good with f(x)'s individual promotions. The only thing our fandom is asking is more comebacks and a concert.

They were second best selling girl group behind SNSD last year. Hows that underperforming?

fx is lucky to even have lasted this long. sm pushed them to star in so many variety shows for years, yet it didn't translate into sales.

i was talking overall.

 

also being #2 in the girls list means nothing if it's 4x less than the #1 and sold less albums than the #15 in the male's list.

IMO,they are mistreated compared to most other SM groups,but if you look around all other girl groups

They don't have it that bad actually,most groups are just around the same

They have 1 comeback a year,but they are not alone

They have basic box MVs,but they are not alone

They don't have solo concerts,but they are not alone

They have short promotion and also overlapped with other groups comeback under same company,but they are not alone

They promote more individually than as a group,well they get more activities than most girl groups

SM debuting more idols before f(x) getting full attention,but they are not alone

 

In fact their music is praised a lot,so that means SM is giving them good music

Should SM be doing a better job on f(x)? Sure

 

I would say only 3-4 girl groups are better treated than f(x) but those girl groups are one of the most profitable groups in their respective companies so it is not saying much

 

Idk,since I stan a girl group back when they were still nugu,I am just used to the mistreatment f(x) is getting from SM

Stop fucking comparing f(x)'s album sales to SNSD. SNSD is an exception to girl groups to even sell this much. And why are you comparing f(x) a girl group to other guy groups when we all know the reason male groups have higher sales. And even if it is 4x less than the #1 does that mean their achievment of selling that many albums shouldnt be counted since its 4x less than the #1. Why must you downplay f(x)'s success?

wow you literally have no idea what you're talking about :)

 

lmfao.

they were regulars in star king, star golden bell, invincible youth, we got married, music show hosts, etc etc... oh and regularly hosted radio shows.

 

even after that they never topped year end album charts.

 

poor that.

:(
