Translation of the interview
Thanks to
@etherealx_ on twitter for the translation.
The Star: What did you do during the 6th anniversary?
Luna: It was the first day of In the Heights musical, after my performance, I thought “It’s the 6th anniversary but there’s nothing.” But then the members did a surprise visit at the door, they didn’t even send me a message about it and I heard Victoria unnie came straight from the airport after her overseas schedule.
Amber: Luna gets fooled easily, I mean, we did this a few years back too but she still gets fooled!
The Star: f(x) is known for their unique style of music, was there a time where the both of you went “what is this?” when you first heard the song?
Amber: Everything for Luna! We became really used to it now, not long ago I received a new song demo, Luna said “Amber unnie, what song is this, what happen, its so weird.” and she hated that song a lot though I think it wasn’t that bad but when we went to record the song she said again “Unnie, I like this song so much! This is the best song of all” what a mood changer!
Luna: And that’s the song in our 4th full-length album! Its one of my favorite song! (Laughs)
The Star: Is there a party concept that you really wished to try at least once?
Luna: Pool party! f(x) members like wines & champagnes. Lee SooMan teacher also likes wine. I want to try doing those desserts that suit the wine tastes.
Amber: I want to have a puppy party. We all love animals; we can bring our own pets and open a party.
The Star: Luna recently started the musical "In the Heights?"
Luna: *she talks about the story of the musical, which I’m sure it was translated before in other articles lol*
Amber: I haven’t gotten to see it, I’ll go see it soon but I don’t think there is a need, I’ve seen her practicing many times, the CD in the car is also the musical CD, I did most of the practice with her, I think I’ve already seen it all.
The Star: Let's talk about f(x), you recently just celebrated your 6th anniversary, you were in your teens (10’s) when you debuted, what has changed that you are now in your 20’s?
Luna: We became more relaxed/free. Previously we only look at one goal and one place, getting #1 and letting people know more about f(x) was our focus, now all of us have our own goals and are looking at the world bigger/wider, we no longer chase the time.
Amber: Ah...I want to become more relaxed too but for me it’s responsibility! Because I’ve become an adult, I’ve got more things to be responsible with, such as insurance, taxes, hospital bills, there are many things to manage. Now that I signed my house contract, my bankbook has my name in it. Doing such things myself makes me feel proud of it.
The Star: Amber, you recently said in your SNS that “6 years ago I decided to jump on the plane to Korea and chase my dream” I’m curious about how you felt at that time.
Amber: I went with my gut feeling. Came here blindly while thinking that this is a chance for loving music.
Luna: I really want to give a big applause, coming to Korea with the language, cultural change, and many other things, it’s really amazing. But unnie works harder than anyone else who loves Korean music and makes Korean music, that’s why the members are supporting that hard work you’ve done.
Amber: The world is becoming more international. As a foreigner I want to help on that relation. When Luna ask me about foreign music I can answer her, and I can talk about Korean culture to other foreigners. looking at such things, I think the world is becoming more closer to each other. Foreign friends who are in Korea always share that they want to have new experiences in Korea.
The Star: What will you be doing 10 years from now?
Amber: Probably still be f(x)? But we won’t be able to dance anymore.
Luna: Unnie let’s not dance when we grow old, but by that time f(x)’s music/songs would have changed a lot. How about we each hold an instrument and sing to a slow song? (laughs)
The Star: what does f(x) wish to achieve for this upcoming comeback besides getting no.1?
Luna: After all, we can’t get everyone to love us, but for the people who love our music, that’s why this coming album contains many messages that says “we are one”.
