[NEWS] f(x)’s Amber Reportedly In Talks To Join Cast Of New tvN Drama “Entourage”
On May 5, SM Entertainment stated to news outlet OSEN that Amber received an offer to star in tvN’s “Entourage,” and they are positively considering it.
Previously, it was reported that Amber was already confirmed as a part of the cast, contrary to SM’s statement.
“Entourage” is a remake of the U.S. HBO show of the same name, and will show the realities of the Korean entertainment system. It will highlight elements from the original show, while making it more relatable to a Korean audience.
So far, actors Seo Kang Joon, Lee Kwang Soo, Park Jung Min, and Lee Dong Hwi are all confirmed for the show. Actor Jo Jin Woong is also confirmed as Kim Eun Gab, one of the main characters.
Amber has been offered the role of Kim Eun Gab’s personal assistant, also known as Jay Jung. In the U.S. version of the show, her character is actually male, but will be changed to a female for the upcoming Korean production.
If she does end up taking the role, it will be the idol’s first time acting since her debut. Many are excited to see how Amber will do as the last f(x) member to potentially begin acting.
Meanwhile, “Entourage” will air sometime in the second half of the year.

On March 23, an insider revealed that Sulli will be filming a bed scene for the upcoming film “Real.”
Since this will be her first bed scene, there is much interest and anticipation regarding the movie.
The insider commented, “The main female character Song Yoo Hwa had a bed scene planned. It hasn’t been revealed what level it will be since filming hasn’t started yet.”
“Real” is an action-noir film set in a glamorous yet dark city where Kim Soo Hyun plays a ambitious problem-solver named Jang Tae Young. Sulli is set to portray Song Yoo Hwa who is described as a rehabilitation therapist to VVIP clients.
The film is highly anticipated as it is believed to be Kim Soo Hyun’s last project before he enlists for his mandatory military service. Furthermore, the film will be rated R.
Kim Soo Hyun was expected to film a steamy bed scene from the initial stages of planning. Also, auditions for the female lead entailed a revealing love scene. Looks like viewers will have to stay tuned to find out what kind of scenes the film will include.
Filming for “Real” is expected to continue until June.

[NEWS] f(x) Shares Thoughts on Wrapping up Their First Solo Concert
f(x) has officially joined the ranks of only a handful of top girl groups like Girls’ Generation, 2NE1, and Wonder Girls that have managed to hold a successful solo concert domestically.
The group wrapped up their first-ever solo concert on January 31. From January 29 through the 31, approximately 10,000 fans came out to see f(x) and show their support for the group.
“We are so proud of and grateful for our fans who waited for us for a long time and waved their light sticks energetically at the concert,” Amber says.
Luna reflects, “I know now why singers enjoy doing concerts. You are at once grateful and feel a sense of satisfaction.”
Being their first, the concert was understandably not without mistakes, as member Victoria points out. “We prepared a lot, but we felt a lot of pressure and worry too. We had to remind ourselves of our happiness at being able to perform, and the members really came together as one and worked hard,” she says.
Luna shares, “There were small mix-ups with member formations in the course of performing 34 songs, but I wonder if this is what it feels like to do a true live performance.”
Meanwhile, f(x) is already gearing up for another milestone: their first solo concert tour in Japan, which will start this February and span Tokyo, Fukuoka, Osaka, and Nagoya over six days.
