- Hey what's up you guys, my name is Amber Liu
and I will be talking about my firsts.
That's a weird word, firsts.
Like who decided first would be first
and second would be second?
What if second was first and first was...
(upbeat techno music)
First performance, debut stage?
September 5th.
Debut of K-Pop girl group f(x).
I remember just being sleepy that day
'cause we didn't sleep the night before
'cause we were just practicing.
I had hair like covering half my face.
The whole stage that I remember
was just my bangs just hitting my eye.
I just did it and then that moment was over
and I was like, huh, I just started my career.
First job.
I worked at a school supply store as like, a cashier
and this is where this is.
Oh you can find that on aisle 12.
My favorite part was taking the label gun
and just like, $9.99 plus tax.
(whooshes)
And going like through the aisles.
First celeb crush.
(laughs)
Orlando Bloom.
First impression of the members of f(x)?
When I first met the girls,
I did not know they were going to be my members.
We just are all trainees together
and then until we get put into a group,
we don't know we're a group.
Krystal, she was I guess my first friend
because she spoke English.
Krystal would basically take me around everywhere,
show me where to do this and do that.
Always she's still a princess.
Luna is actually a lot more different
than I actually initially thought.
She was singing like power vocals,
she did like, popping and locking,
no other girl trainee was doing that.
So I was just like, this girl's really like,
she got her like, (bleeps) together.
She's a cute little fuzzball.
Victoria.
I don't like, we didn't really have
an impression of each other because I barely saw her.
And she lived with me, but I barely saw her.
(upbeat techno music)
She's a mom.
First apartment.
So I started living on my own when I became an adult.
Bye bye, paper.
I don't know why I did not learn about my finances before,
so kids, learn about your finances and about budgeting.
It was weird.
I don't like living alone.
Too lonely.
First embarrassing moment on stage?
We were performing at a college event,
I'm usually never in the middle.
I don't like being in the middle by the way
until this one part.
And that one part was the dance break.
I am terrified of just being there.
We had this like, whole groove locking section,
you're like, wa wa ha ha.
And I remember being so nervous,
that I was centered for that
and I was doing that dance break,
the first time we performed it,
I did everything in double-time.
And the rest is history.
First cell phone.
Nokia.
Like the ones that never break.
I remember my dad like accidentally like,
throwing my phone somehow and it dented the wall.
But my phone was fine. (chuckles)
First show you ever binged?
Anime.
Naruto, Bleach, Full Metal Alchemist.
First time realizing you were famous?
My dad came to Korea one time
and he pulls out a whole bunch of like, my headshot prints.
He's like Amber, you need to sign all these for me
because all my friends want these.
And I'm like, okay.
I guess that's when I kinda realized I was famous.
First thing you do when you wake up?
Go back to sleep.
First time seeing a meme of yourself?
I was on an Army show and in the Army,
and especially in Korean culture,
there's a very very very strict hierarchy.
Obviously you would not talk informally
or disrespectful to your training officer.
But me in my limited Korean,
'cause there's different types of Korean.
(speaks foreign language)
Like, you have different ways of being formal and informal.
But I basically told my commanding officer
English equivalent I guess would be like,
Shakespearean English.
I say, thou shalt forget.
The Korean public thought it was really funny.
Thank you, guys for liking what I do.
And making my mistakes into something pretty cool.
First musical inspiration?
Number one is my mom.
She sings like an angel.
Actually like, from the Lion King,
little young Simba, gonna be a mighty king,
da da da beware.
That's when I was like, I wanna be a singer.
Thank you, young little Simba.
First time learning Korean?
Not gonna sugarcoat it.
You learn the bad words.
You learn the, and the...
My vocabulary consisted of cuss words, food items,
really really vulgar things because my sister
really like to learn really random things in Korean,
like (speaks foreign language).
I think a lot of people who know a second language
or are learning another language,
can empathize with, but yeah.
Cuss words and (speaks foreign language).
