By now, if you’ve been following my blog, you know that I’ve been f(x) crazy for the last two months, and my obsession doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon. It won’t slow down until my big “promotional move” I have planned this summer. But that will be kept under my hat until then…
Just remember to #bfx2us and put your town behind it to show where your love for f(x) is coming from, if of course, you’ve fallen in love with this group as much as I have.
Well, this article is a part of that promotion. My goal is to push for an f(x) tour for, at least, next year.
To learn more about K-pop group f(x):
f(x) the Korean “Spice Girls” + Amber Liu in the Spotlight
Just how Talented is f(x) Sulli?
Just how Talented is f(x) Victoria?
Just how talented is f(x) Krystal?
Just how talented is f(x) Luna?
To all of you who have watched the music videos, and who doubt the talent of the f(x) members, I will be doing something similar to an artist “portfolio”. In this case, I will be showcasing the musical background and skills of each f(x) artist. This resume “portfolio” of sorts will show all readers why I think these girls qualify to be a part of f(x), why I believe them to be SM’s major female multi-national group, and why I think f(x) has what it takes to make it internationally.
Basically, this is why I think you newcomers should hire them as one of your new favorite K-pop groups. 😉
I will begin the first article with my ultimate f(x) bias, and the most popular f(x) member, Amber Liu!
Amber Liu
Amber Liu is the charming tomboy in the f(x) group. You really can’t miss her. She stands out, not only in the f(x) group, but in the sea that is full of K-pop idols. Amber has a unique appearance, but she also has a very charming personality. She’s funny, friendly, and open-minded.
Amber is boyish, but Amber is also very beautiful, too. Anyone can see that she has striking features: beautiful eyes, lovely lips, a bright smile, and nice hair texture.
But enough about how pleasant she is and how unique her sense of style is. Let’s review her credentials. Let’s look at what makes her a true K-pop artist and musical icon.
Amber Liu Can Sing
If you were to just observe the f(x) music videos, you would mostly hear Amber rapping briefly in each song.
What you may not always hear is Amber’s vocal abilities. And yet, Amber passed through the SM auditions because of her vocal abilities. I would like to share with you a collection of Amber’s vocal abilities:
Amber sings the opening part of “Rocketeer” with Minho from SHINee.
Amber sings “We Belong Together” on Radio Star.

She and her team filmed, produced, and directed several of her own work, including “Beautiful”, “Borders”, “On My Own”, and “Need To Feel Needed”.

it’s Linkin Park not Lincoln Park. How old are you? 10? -.-“

My computer does automatic spell check, and so the spelling became poor.
Can I help it that ‘Linkin’ isn’t a word in our dictionary?
Yes, yes, I’m 10 years old, writing a detailed article and expressing myself daily without my parents’ permission…-.-
Please don’t be immature. I’m 24 years old, and a huge Linkin Park fan. I understand the spelling annoys you, but you don’t have to be a Nazi about it. There are ways to get your point across.
And that’s missing the mark to assume I’m 10. There are 40 year old people who don’t know who Linkin Park is. They would also likely spell the name wrong, or rather correctly, as ‘Linkin’ isn’t a word. Please think before you type insults.
And while you’re at it why don’t you capitalize your ‘I’ in “It’s”. 😛

Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.
Is it hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure
things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about creating
my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions?
Thank you

It’s cool. 😉 It isn’t hard at all. Here are some tips:
1) Make your website easy to navigate. You see what I have at the top? Sections. Keep an organized blog so that people know what they are looking for. Choose interesting sections, things that people would like to read.
2) Interesting titles are important. Also, make sure others can understand what you’re saying in a few words.
3) When commenting to people, even with snarky comments, remember to remain calm and respectful. Help others to understand where you are coming from and always appreciate those who comment.
4) Update often. If you see that an article is getting more views than normal, check out the article to see if videos are working and that all of the information is up-to-date.
5) Always have sources to back up what you say. This is key.
6) Try to keep things brief and try not to repeat yourself…though I have a hard time doing this myself.
7) Use a captivating background, but not too distracting. It should be moderate.
WordPress is a nice blogging website. They made it easy for me to set up. It took years for me to get my points across effectively, and it requires patience and maintenance. But I think you can do it. 🙂
