[TRANS] 130305 f(Amber) = MyDaily Interview Part 4/4

Amber, “Nowadays I Hold Aegyo Battles with Sulli”

f(x)’s Amber calls her SM Entertainment sunbae singer BoA “nuna,” updates her SNS virtually every day with pictures of this and that, and squabbles with her older sister over Pokémon cards. Though they may seem trivial, as I interviewed Amber we shared stories which can’t help but be special to Amber.

– You’re tall.

“People think that I’m about 163cm tall, but I’m the second tallest in f(x).”

– Your legs look long.

“This is a secret, but my legs are long because I take after my dad. Haha. On stage the other members wear heels a lot, but I wear really high platforms. The air up there is better.”

– Your Korean skills have improved a lot.

“Not yet. The members tell me that it’s still clumsy and Victoria unnie is really good. I think I’m still better at informal language. Formal language is a little awkward.”

– Who are you close to in SM Entertainment?

“Sunny unnie, Key oppa, and Kangin oppa dote on me a lot. And Jonghyun oppa, Donghae oppa, and I are the SM dinosaur line.”

– You’re close to BoA too, right?

“Yes. That’s right. I’m close to BoA unnie too. Truthfully, before “NU ABO” I hadn’t bumped into her very often. But then we rode a plane together for an event. BoA unnie passed by me so I thought to myself, ‘Ooh! A renowned sunbae!’ But all of a sudden after we got off the plane, as she left BoA unnie said, ‘Amber! Call me nuna!’ from behind me. I was so surprised, but since then I’ve called BoA unnie ‘nuna.’ We contact each other often. BoA unnie is really fun.”

– Among the f(x) members, you especially utilize SNS a lot.

“I purposely make an effort to use it a lot. Fans send a lot of messages so I can’t read them all, but I still want to converse a bit more closely with fans. Because I want to show how f(x) spends time when we’re not standing on stage through SNS.”

– Not too long ago, f(x) fans gathered their strength and delivered a donation for children with cancer.

“I was really proud. I wanted to make a donation at least once in my lifetime too, but because the fans did so first I was very proud. Personally, it’s nice when fans give us presents but it makes me happier when they donate to good causes like that.”

– Aren’t there fans who want to see a feminine style?

“There are. Truthfully, I think that I’ve become a lot more feminine after debuting. Before, I didn’t even know how to remove makeup so once I washed my face with regular soap and went through a lot of trouble. Lately I’ve developed an interest in skincare. And truthfully, I used to not have any aegyo. I developed it as I lived in Korea. Nowadays I hold aegyo battles with Sulli.”

– You were squabbling over Pokémon cards recently on Twitter.

“It’s a cartoon I have great memories of from when I was young. It’s a cartoon I woke up early on Saturday mornings to watch. So I collected a lot of cards, too. But my mom tried to give away my Pokémon cards to someone else. Fortunately, I told my older sister and with good timing she saved my Pokémon cards. They’re hidden above my closet, so I don’t know how my mom found them. If I don’t have Pokémon, I can’t live.”

– You draw well too, right?

“Rather than being good at drawing, I just like it. I’ve received a lot of presents like sketchbooks and drawing tools.

– What music outside of f(x) have you been listening to often as of late?

“I really like UK singer Ellie Goulding. I like Bruno Mars’s album too. And I listen to SHINee’s music often too. Since music is my line of work I try to listen to all kinds of music.”

– Do you have a personal goal?

“I want to become an original singer. A singer who can do a variety of music. I want to become a type of singer that has yet to be seen up until now.
