    F(x) and SHINee are brother/sister groups. They all trained together, they're very close. They debuted right after one another. They are the experimental sm groups. They both promoted RDD and Chu together. Lollipop! They have a Lucifer/Nu abo collab. Red Light and Everybody were similar. Even 4 Walls and View were meant for the other. F(SHINee) 💜💎

    f(x) were definitely ahead of their time during their career. they were also one of the only kpop groups who received critcal acclaim from western critics, such as billboard and pitchfork, for their albums such as pink tape, red light and 4 walls! if you can i'd highly recommend listening to more b-sides off their albums or even a guide because they're truly one of a kind :D

    Yes, Amber was the first female in a gg to be androgynous and have her own style (which was very strange back in 2008 but it did showcase the risks that f(x) would take for an experimental look and sound)!! Her well known "successor" is Moonbyul! Both icons in the k industry for favouring androgyny and more "male" styles in fashion and in vocal timbre..but just overall being themselves and denying the overly feminized gg concept/image

    It was a really big deal how boyish Amber was at the time lol. It wasn’t just a concept she did for a comeback and then changed later on. f(x) were formed to be an experimental/unconventional group like their brother group SHINee so her image fit perfectly!
    They were the first K-Pop group to be praised heavily by indie critics/sites in the states for being so avant-garde and forward thinking so you’re not alone on picking up on that 😂.

    @coolgirl312 3 ปีที่แล้ว +124

    As far as I know, Amber was definitely one of, if not, the first to debut in a girl group with that more androgynous look. SM's founder, Lee Sooman spotted her and had her scouted specifically because of her appearance. Amber explained that at the time, there was a really famous chinese singer who was everywhere who had an androgynous appearance and SM kind of wanted to bring that in to Kpop. It was a risk since at the time, the image of a female idol was basically a very feminine girl. The entirety of F(X) was pretty out there and experimental. Like you said, their music was very electronic influenced and not the standard pop sound and yes, ahead of their time. I'm just sad that SM pushed them aside after 2015 and we never heard from them again.
    Even now, the whole androgynous look isn't very common in Kpop girl groups but it is more common in Cpop. There was a kpop group back in like 2013 called Global Icon who debuted with all members sporting the androgynous style, but that was apparently just a concept since they eventually came back with a sexier look and ultimately lost fans and disbanded.

    • @NyokouChannel
      @NyokouChannel 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      This! I'm still very sad about G.I. they had a lot of potential and talent. Their debut was so unique but I think they were ahead of their time. Then again it doesn't feel authentic if their company are forcing that image on them and they didn't like it.

    • @mthdbt9208
      @mthdbt9208 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Amber is the most famous example of androgynous female idol in SK and she made this style really popular but I think there was some sort of a trend back in the 80s-90s. I can think of Lee Sun Hee (who apparently had a looot of female fans and I'd actually really enjoy a reaction to her from Sir Austin because she's an amazing vocalist and songwriter), Lee Sang Eun (with her famous Dam Da Di, which is the most 80s thing I've ever seen btw), Lee Yoon Jeong from 쎄쎄쎄 (who still rocks the androgynous well into her 40s) and Jeonghee from UP (who I actually thought was a young boy until I saw the sugarman episode).
      PS: Yes, I'm really into retro kpop ^^

    From what i can remember f(x) were the first group to introduce experimental music (and kpop community wasn’t ready then, they were bashed for having songs that weren’t up to the taste of the general listeners) and they broke the stereotype for having a boyish looking member for a girl group, and their styles are so different, that they were called Kpop Trendsetters.

    Please react to Luna's solo song "Free Somebody" and Luna and Amber's song "Wave"
    Edit: Also, NU ABO is pronounced "New A-B-O." It's supposed to mean new blood (blood types being A, B, O, AB). And soloist BoA's name is pronounced "Bo-ah," you don't need to say the letters separately like "B-O-A." They just stylized it like "BoA" because they used it as an acronym of "Beat of Angel," but her given name really is Boa Kwon

    Before Amber there wasn't really any androgynous female idols in kpop. There may have been a member here or there that would have a somewhat more androgynous aesthetic for a comeback, but then would revert back to a more traditionally feminine one later. When f(x) debuted there was a really popular androgynous female singer in China (I forgot her name) and SM was attempting to break into that market at that time. This is also probably one reason why they had Victoria in the group, as she is Chinese. Amber also speaks some Mandarin as well, as both her parents are immigrants to the US from Taiwan.
    Fun fact: Amber stated in an interview with MTV that f(x) was loosely based off of the Spice Girls. She was their sporty spice.

    Talk about "Baby f(x)", Krystal was still 14 and Sulli only 15 when they debuted at the start of September 2009. You should check out SNSD's and f(x)'s versions of "Chocolate Love" for the LG Chocolate phone. Both are worth viewing. Luna just started her own agency for her solo work. They were one of the first "international" girl groups with Leader Victoria being from China, Amber being Taiwanese-American and even Krystal, technically, being Korean-American, for what it's worth. Victoria was truly the "mom" of the group, being a full 7 years older than Krystal and Sulli. Sadly, it's the cute "Giant Baby" Sulli in La Cha Ta that you liked. The girls have bad memories around the Chu era as some of them caught Swine Flu during promotions. Victoria, being practically a Chinese acrobat, was know for her incredible flexibility and did that "flip" in their live performances. Instrumentally and visually, f(X) was SM's experimental group. That torch got passed to Red Velvet to some degree. Yes, "Baby, LOVE f(x)". Luna's power after Amber's rap in NU ABO is awesome. NU ABO refers to a new blood type, Korean's being all into their blood types.

    They were definitely a very experimental group. Even for that time's standards. Not only because of their fashion or the fact that Amber was a tomboy/androgynous, but also because of the music. Still, they were very popular. They still were regarded as SNSD's little sisters and SHINee's sister group, but I can definitely remember them being popular on their on because of their unique music. Luna is an amazing soloist, by the way! Amber also has a solo. And Sulli released one song that was super nice too (very experimental). Victoria I believe has a Chinese album/release, since she's Chinese. Also a quick rule of thumb to identify Luna/Sulli/Victoria, because you seem to have already identify Krystal and Amber: if they're belting their heart out, it's Luna; if they're are doing any type of gymnastics, Victoria; and the cute big-eyed girl is Sulli.

    would love to see your reaction to their b-side too since that is where their ballads are. Their title track is mostly electronic pop or quite experimental (that is their image, not being afraid to do different time since they are ahead of their time)

    I don't know if it's this Krystal that Moonbyul has always had a crush on, that Solar even hates that Krystal's name is said to Moonbyul near her 😂😂😂 But I think it's her. Moonbyul said that she is passionate about Krystal, that she has always been her crush... Now nobody can talk about Krystal with Solar nearby hahaha

    Although f(x) don't have many live stages since they only really had their one concert together (Dimension 4, Docking Station) post-Sulli leaving the group, they're always amazing to watch live performances of and it's insane how crazy talented they are. There's also an older live performance of them performing electric shock in the heavy rain! Its really shows their perseverance and it's crazy to watch ( th-cam.com/video/7GH93-hb7Ig/w-d-xo.html ). Personally, it makes me so happy to see you reacting to f(x)! They're probably my favourite girl group of all time, and their b sides are a definite must-listen.
    Pink Tape (Title track: Rum Pum Pum Pum) was probably their most experimental and critically acclaimed album and I personally loved the way all the songs came together and almost formed kind of a movie-like feel. They even have an art film for this and it's a little bittersweet that we never got anything to follow this up. ( th-cam.com/video/r4u3BzM0rqo/w-d-xo.html ).
    I hope you'll continue to dig deeper into f(x)! They truly deserved and still deserve all of the love, l and I hope you fall in love with them the more you learn about and listen to them. From a forever MeU 💜

    There are so many amazing girl groups in Kpop, but for me f(x) is incomparable. They were my favorite group when I became a kpop fan, and even now when they're no longer active I love those girls so much. They were one of a kind, ahead of their time and yet they were very successful, even with the limitations their own company put them.

    @spaceboys 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    you're was right, that was luna on the moon and you guess right about krystal everytime!
    f(x) was a
    experiment group, they used to throw anything to them, they didn't have a unique style and every album was different, that's why i think the debut song was differente than other groups.
    the girl you say is cute is sulli and i think you liked luna in your other reactions ^^
    for you to know the girls, i would say luna is the shortest, victoria often have bangs, amber you already know, krystal basic start every song (with exceptions of course) and sulli is the cutest.
    you should listen to pink tape and 4 walls, it's my two favorite albuns and i really like the side songs, i think you would like too! ^^

    Before Amber, there weren't any androgynous idols similar to Amber. Lee sooman himself noticed and scouted her on a trip to LA because of her style and requested she auditions for SM global auditions which she did pass with her singing. I think he said he was interested in the style because there was a Chinese singer who got popular for her androgynous style so he wanted to try that for kpop. Even after Amber, I don't think there are any androgynous idols other than as someone mentioned before Moonbyul. But companies after Fx tried to copy Amber and made some of their idols follow it as a concept but just as a concept so it faded after awhile. and frankly didn't work. those same idols even stated they hated having their hair cut ..ect
    The thing with SM is they never really force a specific style on their artists. Years before choosing members of a group, song and concept of the group are already decided years back and they choose trainees that match the concept. Because they have a lot of trainees, its more concept->trainees who fit concept. and not "we have this trainee, let's fit him into this concept"

  • @IndigoAirX7
    @IndigoAirX7 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Aww this is so nostalgic for me. I've been listening to kpop since 2006 and I loved f(x) when they debuted. I did fall out of the loop later on because I just didn't actively follow comebacks etc or have any kpop friends the way I do now so listening to kpop was a way more "distant" experience for me at that time. But during the era of these three songs I was still more involved and I still love all these songs.
    Have you heard "Chocolate Love" yet? Both SNSD and f(x) recorded versions, and I forget what SNSD's is called but both versions have an MV and f(x)'s is called Electro Pop Version I'm pretty sure.

  • @ju-kc3qk

  • @tamarasmith9060
    @tamarasmith9060 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yes, Amber can sing!! Ironically, of the 5 members Amber was the one signed on purely due to her vocal skills. While Luna & Victoria could sing, they were not at levels yet where they would be signed as singers. They were signed as dancers 1st. Krystal & Sulli were both signed at younger ages for acting/modeling, with interest in singing training, but when they joined SM they hadn't reached the point that they would be signed as vocalists either.
    edit: I did remark under another comment that it's funny SM didn't immediately realize Luna's potential to become a power vocalist once she got more training. Due to her mom & grandmother both being opera singers, Luna's twin was already following in their footsteps.

    No, Amber was the first female in a gg to be androgynous and have her own style (which was very strange back in 2008 but it did showcase the risks that f(x) would take for an experimental look and sound)!! Her well known "successor" is Moonbyul! Both icons in the k industry for favouring androgyny and more "male" styles in fashion and in vocal timbre..but just overall being themselves and denying the overly feminized gg concept/image
