what happened to FX only 90s kids will
remember this group I'm just kidding
it's not that long ago but FX was the
girl group after ghost generation in SM
debuting over 90 years ago but today
they have seemed to be forgotten welcome
to a new series on the channel called
what happened I started this off with
the pristine video and now today is the
FX video basically talking about k-pop
groups that are forgotten haven't had a
comeback in a long time disbanded or
what happened I always like to start
these off with the group's last release
which was all mine
[Music]
all mine technically wasn't even at FX
comeback it was released on SM station
which was released on July 21st 2016
almost two years ago now let's go back
to the beginning FX was the first
experimental sounding k-pop group of all
time the reason I say that is because a
lot of people tend to not like FX music
because of that experimental sound their
debut track la cha cha nuevo danger red
light rum pum pum electric shock hot
summer even their most popular releases
like electric shock they had an
experimental sound to it electronic
since all over the place know what the
k-pop group was doing it at that time
and maybe it was a trend but FX has
trademarked that trend in kpop six years
ago today the trend has changed yes an
FX sound has changed as well FX last
real comeback was four walls a more EDM
house sounding track but I loved it a
lot of people slept on FX that come back
and that album is phenomenal maybe it's
just me I love their music music aside
FX also did blaze a trail in kpop sure
that coming from a big label like SM and
the follow-up to the ever successful
Girls Generation but they were the first
kpop act to even perform at South by
Southwest since then multiple kpop acts
has and continued to have performed at
South by Southwest and that isn't even
the beginning of FX success FX was so
successful at the time in a leading girl
group at the time to multiple number-one
Hits winning on weekly award shows
winners at mama the eminent Asian Music
Awards winner at the Golden Disk Awards
FX was not only loved by fans but also
critically acclaimed as a very very
successful k-pop group also not to
mention the first to have a tomboyish
kinda different looking k-pop idol that
is in amber amber isn't your traditional
k-pop idol she has a different look than
other people and maybe that helped her
stand out but she also is talented and
rapping writing seeing her singing is so
stable like I know nothing about music
I don't know thing about singing but
Amber's voice is so steady so stay
s/m did right by debuting her then with
FX reaching these heights they were
brought back down with former member sue
Lee leaving the group 2015 sue Lee said
that she is leaving FX to focus on her
acting career and SM Entertainment
respected her wishes and so FX went down
to a fourth member group and they
continued on only for a short amount of
time like I said it has been over two
years since FX has released anything
together
of course Luna has had a solo comeback
multiple times since then
amber continues to release music on her
and also with the collaboration with SM
Station but crystal Victoria seemed to
be going off and doing their own thing
it has been a long time since we've seen
the whole group together and this is
where it gets people thinking of the
reason why SM seeming to forget they had
FX and since FX debut we had red velvet
debut and CT and their units debut and
rumors about a new girl group SM is
planning to debut soon and one thing
that I've noticed and I don't know if
you notice the same thing but red
Velvets like be size in their most
recent albums sound like that
experimental sound that FX was known for
almost like SM had these songs ready to
go for FX but they gave them the red
velvet now don't get mad it's just that
it sounds similar it sounds like they
have these already prepared and that
they didn't want to waste these songs
that had or maybe they were gonna lose
the rights to and they used it for red
velvet and I love red velvet songs
red Velvets b-sides or some of the best
b-sides in kpop hands down for me but
that's just something I seem to notice
let me know if you noticed that as well
and so where does that leave us with FX
well let's see what the members have to
say Luna in a V live preparing for her
solo comeback was asked the question
when is FX coming back to e she said
it's a bucket list so the things I want
to achieve and Long's like that numerous
times Luna and amber most specifically
has said that they were wanting an FX
comeback hinting and teasing
you know the possibility they wanted but
why haven't they been getting it well
crystal was also asked this when she was
interviewed for a new trauma she was in
she has said the timing never worked out
either the timing wasn't right or the
circumstances weren't right we made a
lot of effort
we even had a plan to make a comeback
during a certain month but it felt
through it didn't work out the way we
wanted she continued to say the members
also talked about group activities we
tried many times but whenever we set a
date and attempt to prepare an album
something always came up she went on to
clarify that it's not that our company
isn't letting us release an album
everything is all about timing but until
now that timing hasn't worked out when
the timing is right and there is a good
song available we're always ready to
release an album with that explanation
crystal said got me thinking if they
keep up company really wants a group to
come back they're gonna make it happen
unless they're not a top priority think
about it if sm JY p YG if they want to
release a group debut or comeback if
they really wanted to they can make it
happen let's use SAT as an example SM
had a huge plan for NCT since debut but
they continued to release song after
song setting up multiple subunits
multiple comebacks multiple albums
because they feel it was needed red
velvet coming back and certain seasons
to hit big on let's say summer hits they
want to rev that with song to be at the
hit of that season YG pushing black pink
a little bit more I say a little bit
because they haven't even released a
full album yet but with Jenny's solo
Rose a solo coming up and then also Lisa
and G so is gonna get theirs by pink is
a top priority for yg twice is the
biggest group in JYP and in kpop and so
JYP wants to put forth all of his effort
in twice hit after hit and with it seed
that just debuted it is gonna be
successful as well so I plan to see a
lot more its the activities really soon
back to back to keep them in the public
eye now as Sam with FX after two years
FX isn't s-sounds top priority now will
that leads them to disband I don't think
so but being a group that has day
nine years ago they've surpassed the
seven-year curse and a lot of people
like to mention that SM has this no
disband policy on groups they either
like a letter k-pop group gold naturally
or they keep releasing but maybe not as
frequently as some other younger groups
which may be the case here that's the
thing that saddens me is that FX isn't a
top priority for SM I feel like that's a
bit obvious but to state it in this
video you know with with all the topics
that I said in the timeline it's
honestly sad to hear again if SM really
wanted FX to come back they'd come back
the whole it's all about timing thing
again III say it is weird but to have a
group that was the first of his time to
first to have someone like amber in the
kpop scene the first to have
experimental electronic sound the first
to go over to America to play at South
by Southwest winning multiple awards at
mama and the Golden Disk Awards
they were poised to success and they
were a leading group at the time but
today they seem to be forgotten but
