f(x)

SM debuted a new girl group a few days ago,
called f(x).
The "f" apparently stands for "flower"
and the "x" in the bracket represents
the female "xx" chromosomes.
Dats the name in biological terms.

For those more familiar with mathematical terms,
this group is said to be able to adapt to any challenge,
by changing the "x factor" in the bracket.
U've guessed it; functions.

The names they come up with these days..

2NE1 = 21st Century New Evolution
(referring to how they will be pioneers in the present day music scene)

FT Island = Five Treasure Island
(how all 5 members are a treasure)

SS501 = Super Star 501
(5 = hw many members, 1 = unity, therefore they are united as one)



Back to f(x),
they are the latest group of what seems to be Korea's
largest entertainment management company.
SM boasts a line up formed by the likes of
DBSK, Super Junior, SNSD, SHINee and more.

So naturally, the expectations are high.
But since the company is so high profile,
they've alr got a strong fanbase from day 1 itself.
It helps that member Krystal is actually
SNSD's Jessica's very own sister.

I guess its fair to say they're meeting expectations for now.



Since CSJH has been the "female DBSK",
SNSD has been the "female Super Junior",
I was thinking that f(x) should be the female version
of SHINee. (thn again maybe SHINee are "female" enuff)
After watching their MV, i think the impression they give me
totally fits the impression i had of SHINee.

Here's some SHINee for you.



Similar? No? Maybe its just me thn.
But the fun thing is, f(x)'s leader, Victoria (who is a Chinese btw),
is actually the female actress featured
in the above SHINee music video.

Here's their live performance from today.



U may have noticed the tomboy in the group.
Nt REALLY sth new, but she's definitely the one who went furthest.
Apart from that, Amber is also a Chinese.

Other 2 members are Sulli and Luna.
I like Luna.

So that's about it.
I'll probably intro 4Minute next.
