First of all, I want to thank everyone for sending stories! I wasn’t expecting any! Anyways, if you didn’t submit your own, make sure to leave it in the comments bellow. I added stories I received in the comments in the previous post as well! Enjoy~

Cin, 18, Eastern USA

I’ve asked a lot of other fans how they discovered f(x), but I’d say my case is one of the “special” ones: it all started with a thread roleplay. Before I participated in kpop-themed roleplays on GaiaOnline, an avatar-based community, I was already introduced to kpop by my sister. She was a hardcore Cassie and showed me my first kpop music video, Rising Sun, followed by other videos featuring DB5K, then soon enough, SNSD. I still remember my initial reaction to their debut stage…”Are they speaking in Japanese? Why are there so many of them?” Nonetheless, I wasn’t necessarily addicted. Not yet. Through a specific kpop thread roleplay that I had stumbled upon, f(x) was part of the available characters’ list. So I randomly chose to roleplay as Krystal after searching her up. Bless you, wikipedia. Well, ironically enough, she became my f(x) bias.

I definitely didn’t expect myself to get hooked onto kpop, and just music in general. My sister hadn’t shown me anything related to f(x), but I understood it’s because their song titles are different. However, I for one found them catchy and the music videos carrying strong messages of empowerment (most notably NU ABO and LA chA TA, the first f(x) mvs I saw). My love and addiction grew as time passed by, especially after creating my first tumblr blog dedicated to f(x) under the url, krystaleffects. I was able to meet other fans who shared that love with me.

It may be disappointing at times that f(x) doesn’t have as large of a fanbase or isn’t as well-known or popular as their “sunbaes,” but I root for them as the “underdogs” in SM. Although I learned of kpop through DBSK and SNSD, f(x) helped me stay into the kpop fandom and finally open the door to the various music genres kpop has to offer. No matter what, f(x) holds their own niche in my heart because of this, and I can only hope that they’ll continue to mature through their music, like how they fabulously accomplished with Pink Tape, and that their fans will give them their continual love and support to the end through the tough times and spazz-worthy moments; both old fans and new fans.

I discovered f(x) in the programme named “We Got Married” which Victoria was ‘married’ with Nichkhun from 2PM. At first, i think that it’s pretty cool that a Chinese girl can being so successful in Korea and after watching the programme i’m getting more interest on Victoria as well as f(x). Then, i was touched by the efforts that Victoria paid for her success because i can imagine how hard it would be for a girl to leave a place she grown up and go to a country that she not even familiar with. By watching the programme, i feel like being a wife like Victoria and i love Khuntoria very much. Not only WGM, i found almost all videos about f(x) and watched almost all their programme included every stages they performed their songs and also “Koala”, “Amazing f(x)”, music videos and even now, i will download “Glitter” every week. Even though i was first attracted by Victoria but i love all the five of them. They are just so charming, so talented, sooooooooo AMAZING!!! I LOVE F(X)!!! Anyway, Happy 4th year anniversary!!! F(x) FOREVER!!!
p.s: Victoria Sulli Krystal Luna Amber I Love All of You!!!

I just want to share to you on how I discover f(x) and my love for them.
It was one day on 2010 when I was watching tv from our house when I saw their MV LA cHA tA, after hearing their song and seeing their dance moves let’s just day I fell in love with them. And since then I tried to search for some info’s about them on the internet who they were, and the members and everything. I found every single thing about them is awesome, and unique they are not the same as those other groups, they have their own distinct style and that makes me more to love them. I’ve been supporting them since then and keep on buying their albums, keeping updated on them and watching their mv’s and even downloading their songs and videos on my phone and sharing them with my friends. My favorite member also my one and only bias is Krystal Jung. Why? Because I find her cool and attractive. Yeah, she may be cold at first but once you know her you’ll love her and one thing I really do like I about her is that she is contented about herself. And doesn’t care what others say, she is also hardworking and one thing for sure gorgeous! So, yeah I know I have write a very long letter but that’s how f(x) is to me. 🙂

I want to great them a very happy and successful 4th year anniversary, being able to give us every time they come a new and fresh song and dance that is catchy and attractive. Thank you for hard work and sweat that have been payed off because we are always here to support and love you undyingly. Don’t push yourself hard, because you might get sick and make us worry. And We hope that you visit the Philippines soon. We love you girls! Happy 4th Year Anniversary!

f(x) jjang!!! Pure love f(x)!!

i never liked *~X( at wits’ end kpop music nor having interest with it, because in the first place i don’t understand *:-? thinking the lyrics and they all have the same faces. but i do like koreanovelas because their stories are unique and they also have great actors. when To the Beautiful You aired here in phillippines, i was curious *:-/ confused who were these people who plays lead role which is sulli and minho because they just made a perfect couple, so i searched about the said tv series and i found out that sulli has a group which is f(x). i listened few of their songs and got to like it even loving *:x lovestruck it very much. i also watched their performances, and it made to love *:x lovestruck sulli even more. she is just very adorable, very pretty, cute, and very nice to her fans, i can’t help myself staring *:-O surprise at her whenever they perform. when i knew sulli, f(x) became a part of my life, krystal, vic-unnie, luna, & amber, they are just simply perfect and a good definition of talent and beauty. They made a big impact to my life, i love *:x lovestruck them so much and i always will. and hopefully i got to see them personally and up close someday *:D big grin. 1,2,3, f(x)!!! *:x lovestruck*:-* kiss

To me they r all like my sisters.

Happy 4th anniversary to f(x) !
I Wish f(x) a successful future.

I discovered F(x) through WGM, whereby Victoria and Nichkhun was matched together. So I thought to myself “Who’s that lucky lady?”. I went to google-d on Victoria since I knew only Nichkhun then. Victoria is my bias in F(x) up till today 😀 No regrets knowing about F(x)!

I heard about f(x) when I had recently learned about K-Pop and i didn’t really know that many groups, and a lot of the groups I didn’t like very much. A lot of the groups were like SNSD and a bit similar to each other and I wanted to hear something new that stood out. So I looked up popular videos of K-Pop on Youtube and I saw a video called Electric Shock. I noticed it had 45,000,000 views, so I knew it must be good. I ended up downloading it and watching it later on that night. And when I heard it, I instantly sat up in my bed. The song was sooo good, It gave me chills & my eyes were wide. It was so different from any other K-Group I had ever heard. They stood out. I listened to that song on repeat for the rest of the night until I fell asleep listening to it. I ended up learning all the dance moves and listening to it a bunch of times everyday. Then I heard Hot Summer and some of their other amazing songs and I fell completely in love. I watched their interviews and saw how funny and talented they really were. They really are the best~

Hmmm….How i discover F(x) ? I never though about this question….but i guess it’s not that hard to answer. Well, it was 2011 when i fell in love with Nichkhun from 2PM and i felt a bit strange when i discovered some articles about “his marriage” (I didn’t now about WGM back then). So i start searching about *guess what* not the show, but the name “Victoria”. I thought i will dislike her because of this, as 99% of everyone thoughts, but i was wrong. I astually liked her from the first photo i saw with her. She was beautiful. SHe was just perfect,ok ? That’s how i start watching WGM with Khuntoria and laugh so hard at every 5 seconds of each episode ~~ They were so happy.
So, from this, i start searching Vic umma more and her band. Until now i saw every show with f(x) laughint and crying at the beautiful moments they shared with each other ~~ f(x) is more than a band for me…and i realy think they are different from other bands. Why? Because, since i’m a fan, i didn’t saw any hater….or maybe i saw but just a few, not as much as other girl bands have.
Even i’m here, in Romania, and they are there. I respect,love and support them as every f(x) fan ~~ Simply, f(love).

How I discovered f(x)? Through We Got Married, 3 years ago. I was really curious about this show and its concept so I clicked a link. And then Victoria appeared and I was just “Wow.”. Really, I thought she was such a beauty. But then a song started and I found it so cool, I immediately googled it. It was Nu ABO by f(x). The song was so catchy and… different, I loved it from the first hearing.

I started getting more into them with time and, without knowing, I became an f(x) stan. Their funny and quirky personalities made me fall in love with them and their music and talent just made everything bigger. Also, they helped me get into the wonderful world of k-pop.

Now, I’m supporting them with all my heart because f(x) deserves all the f(love) in the world.

I discovered f(x) from my classmate 2 years ago. He posted a cover dance of them on our class group on facebook and I was kinda feeling the tune on what the girl was covering on the video so i searched for that song but I still wasn’t that much into k-pop and it was f(x)’s Nu Abo and I instantly got interested in them because of how different and mostly unique they really are! Since then i’ve listened to a lot of there songs and memorized their dances haha

Nhi Trang

it was 3 years ago from today actually. At that time i wasn’t really into Kpop but I was a fan of SNSD. One day for a music assignment, my friend who LOVED f(x) starting convincing me into liking them. I wasn’t easy to give in but inside, I LOVED Victoria! The first music video i saw from them was Danger and MY LOVE, MY LIFE AND MY SOUL WAS COMPLETE!

I’ve discovered f(x) since i saw victoria in wgm but i didn’t really pay attention to them. In the May of 2012,f(x) krystal came to running man as a guest. And tht’s wht grabs my attention. I’ve no words to describe how i felt to see tht beautiful stranger. She is just so “areum daweo”. After a month,they came back with electric shock. From that day,i listen to their songs everyday.

My niece from Taiwan posted Hot Summer to my F/B wall. That was my intro to f(x) and K Pop. I’d never seen anything as cute as Sulli Choi and I’ve been mesmerized ever since…

Its not that long ago (About a week ago) That i was looking through random videos on youtube and saw F(x)’s new video Rum Pum Pum Pum! I fell in love with the song and all of them from the start. I decided to check out more videos of them. Im very lucky to have clicked on that video! 🙂 Thier amazing, each and everyone of them. Even though i know very little of them, I’ve become a huge fan and will support them! :3 I LOVE YOU F(x)! FIGHTING! 😉

I had never heard of Kpop or f(x) until I watched Yuna Kim’s Kiss and Cry on SBS on satellite TV in 2011. While watching this show they introduced the stars that were competing. This is the first time I saw Krystal. I couldn’t believe how beautiful she was and that she was not yet 17 years old. Well the rest is history. Krystal showed her group f(x) on the show and that’s how I discovered Kpop and my favorite group f(x). I was so extremely happy when she won the Kiss and Cry competition. I also became so enchanted by Krystal and adored her so much she is now my favorite artist of all time. She is my Idol and Superstar Princess and I support everything she does in her career.
