Seriously SM? Why are you doing this even in f(x)? I've had enough of you guys when DBSK split. I know this is a different ordeal, but come on, the girls deserve something more. Yes, you gave them the opportunity to release a second full length album. The concept was good. But when the MV was released, I was like... what in the heck did I just watch? Yes you let them promote, but overlapping another group? Fine I was insecure because I know that EXO will win simply because of their large fanbase. Fine, I'll accept that they'll win instead of the girls. But what kind of promotion is this? Their whole airtime and the promotion itself was overlapped by EXO. It's like, the important guys now are those 12 guys. What about those five girls? So, are they really your some sort of experiment now? And now that you've succeeded in debuting those 12 guys, you'll just set aside those five girls? Is that the reason why you never gave us a name? Because right from the start, their and our existence is nothing but just a mere experiment?
Of course I envy those 12 guys. Their MVs are good, and here you are giving them another version of the latest MV, which turned out to be just the same as the first one, you just changed their costumes and put some solo shots. But hey, your so-called experiments already won Music Awards. They even beat PSY's Gangnam Style in that one music award. Your so-called 'illegitimate children' worked so hard to where they are now. You debuted them with a kind of music that isn't mainstream, so why are you expecting so large profits from us? We're not as crazy as those fans. We are fans because we appreciate f(x)'s music.
And now they're already having their goodbye stage. Of course it's already been one month, but I didn't even feel the whole promo. It's like you just released the album so that you'll keep on gaining some profits while you prepare for the repackage of the other group. I don't hate that group with three letters, I even listen to their songs. But it's just so unfair how you treat our girls. They're already ending the promotions in this kind of unstable situation where we're no longer sure if there'll be next. Call me pessimistic, but that's what I'm feeling.
Am I having doubts? Of course I am having doubts whether I should continue being in this fandom because this seems to be going nowhere. But hey, I was strong enough to carry on with my fandom as a cassie, supporting both HoMin and JYJ... Why not f(x)?
Fandom name? Of course it's somehow fun to f(nameless). We even make fun being part of it right? But hey, how many years has it been already since f(x)'s debut? Yes, being nameless doesn't mean we're powerless. But a kingdom, no matter how strong, if it doesn't have a name to call its people, is just like a big group of nomads settled in one common place. A warrior, no matter how loyal he is to the king of his nameless kingdom, if he doesn't have a certain name to call what he's fighting for, then don't you think he's just wasting his time? He doesn't even have a name for the place he pays his homage for.
It's frustrating... disappointing... but at the end of the day, I am part of this fandom because I'm one of those rare kinds who appreciate a music that is not so mainstream. f(x)'s music and their laughs and dorkiness still keep me sane from all of the everyday stresses that I go through. And that smile... that light feeling that they give me... is more than enough for me to keep my faith in this fandom.
And so I'm hoping... that this too shall pass. Let's PRAY and have FAITH...
