New Girl Group Enters the Race of Female Bands
SM Entertainment, the creators of TVXQ, Girls’ Generation and SHINee, has introduced another girl group, f(x), adding fuel to the already heated race between female performers.
The showcase for the new five-member girl group was held last week at the Fashion Center in southern Seoul, hosted by Girls’ Generation member Sunny and Super Juniors’ Lee Teuk.
Although the young members smiled nervously every now and then, it was evident that they were excited to finally present themselves to the public.
The group f(x) is comprised of Sulli, Luna, Krystal, Amber and Victoria. The name is written as the mathematical equation for function and, like the changing results depending on the applied variable “x,” the group is aiming to apply each of their individual talents to bring out the group’s colorful charms.
The girls appeared in black with black fedoras, dancing to the beat of Sam Sparro’s “Black & Gold.” The lucky fans who were chosen to attend the showcase shouted the members’ names, but the girls kept up the energy with “Womanizer” by Britney Spears. The performance was powerful, but the doll-faced girls were a little too skinny to bring out the sexiness and edge of the song.
When they came into the spotlight, it was easy to see that the girls had done their work in terms of style. Each member donned at least one of the recent trends, from pointy shoulder jackets to colorful and graphic print leggings and long and curly hair, proving once again that Korean idol groups are not just about music, but the whole package.
