The introduction is soo true about f(x): F(x) is a part of Korea’s hot summer music industry. They always release their hits around the summer. They’re a girl group that spans a Spring and Fall nationwide generation, as they are definitely multi-national and not all Korean natives. They have a protagonist appearance and inspire others. They have no embarrassing exposure and aren’t OVERLY SEXUAL like other girl groups. They are a bit tomboyish. They don’t have noisy marketing tactics like other groups and, in fact, aren’t overtly promoted, especially by social media. They came out before social media truly became a phenomenon.
They have no live controversy because they usually perform well and even if they don’t, they always seem like they are having fun. They have so many skills (I heard Amber sing rocketeer, play guitar in happy holidays vid, Sulli dance rumba and act AND play guitar and piano, Luna is just amazing, Victoria’s flexibility, and the ice princess Krystal can even play piano)!
They are not uniform like other girl groups. Other groups wear the same clothes, act alike, and have the same talents and skills as one another. F(x) music changes up and is different every album. They have 5 girls ONLY, not a dozen, and they all have unique personalities and can’t be generalized. It’s easy to get to know each member of the group. Each member is a distinct part of the group. Something would be “off” if even one girl was missing. Even the name is unique: F(x) is an intelligent mathematical title, not just feminine, unoriginal, and/or something that makes absolutely no sense.
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 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. 😉
Today, this article will focus on the lovely, ever-popular Krystal Jung!
Chrystal Soo Jung “Krystal”
Krystal is the beautiful “maknae” of the group, which simply means she’s the youngest. She’s always envied for her striking looks. Many people deem her the prettiest member, and she was even on a poll for “Most Enviable Body”.
Krystal is easily recognized as Girls’ Generation (SNSD) Jessica’s sister. But she has formed her own identity.
Krystal is often called “Ice Princess” because she’s a good ice skater and…because some people think she has a hard time appearing sweet and kind, so they might take her as “cold”. She was said to “struggle with an aeygo” on a radio interview, which means she struggles to have a cute and charming personality, even if she appears cute and charming.
I like that about Krystal. It means she’s not phony. She seems like a very honest and straightforward person. Her humor is very cynical and she quickly cuts her eyes.
She has an edge about her, but I like it.
Most people think Krystal is the most stylish out of everyone in f(x). But that depends on your taste.
Isn’t she gorgeous! I especially like when she smiles, I mean when she has one of her genuine smiles…which is rare to find, but like finding a hidden treasure.
Oh, but enough about Krystal’s lovely edge. Let’s get right to her credentials as a K-pop star!
Krystal Can Sing
Just about everybody knows Krystal can sing. She is often compared vocally to her sister Jessica and to group mate Luna. But her voice is unique and powerful in its own right. She and Luna do many duets together.
Even Amber said she is a fan of Luna and Krystal’s duets, which is probably why she let them take over her song “Good-bye Summer”…
Krystal is apart of SM’s The Ballad
This is a solo song Krystal sang called “Because of Me”

Krystal sang “Be My Baby” in the drama High Kick 3
Krystal Can Dance
Krystal isn’t given credit as lead dancer or anything like that, but Krystal is a polished dancer! Many people have to recognize that she is a powerful dancer. It just adds to her list of talents. But Krystal is one of the f(x) members who gets the most attention, so…many probably wouldn’t be surprised.
Krystal’s skating helps her to be a graceful dancer!

F(x) had a dynamite dance intro to “The Jump Off” and “Freeze”. Krystal, of course, shined.
Krystal Can play Piano
Unless you are a fan of Krystal or her sister, you probably didn’t know Krystal could play piano. Why? Because SM doesn’t show this talented side of hers very often. That’s why. And it’s such a shame, because Krystal has amazing piano skills.
Please, have a listen. Hopefully, somehow, someway, SM will open their ears, too.

Krystal Catches on to Languages Quickly
Krystal is the best member when it comes to catching on to new languages. She was born in the USA, but was basically raised in South Korea. This means she speaks fluent English and Korean. But she caught on to Japanese and the Thai language pretty quickly, too!

Krystal is really talented, isn’t she? WOW. Simply stunning! Beauty and talent! Very hard to find both in one body sometimes…
Krystal is also an amazing ice skater!
Krystal is also quite the actress as well. She’s a very talented person!
