Some good things come in five

Some good things come in five. Five fingers on one’s hand, five toes on one’s foot. The five traditional senses of a human being, the five points of a starfish, and most definitely the five girls in one awesome group! No, not the Spice Girls, but our dearest girls, the super fabulous, f(x)!

There’s nothing better than a super elastic leader. She can bend, flexes and stretches to suit others. As Nickhun of 2PM often sings, there’s nothing better than you, VICTORIA. She is not called the ‘mother of the group’ for nothing. She takes care of you, smoother you with her love, feed you with her fantastic cooking skills, enveloped you with her warmth, and you can’t be helped but be charmed by her big, beautiful eyes. Those huge eyes pierced right through one’s soul, melt the iciness or loneliness inside, and you can be sure that your days will immediately turned all upsy-daisy and cheery like only Victoria has the power to bring upon you. All hail Queen Victoria, the ruler of our hearts!

I don’t really need to look very much further, I have nothing, if I don’t have you, LUNA, the music of my heart. This nightingale tunes into your soul and instantaneously adds up colours into your once dull, monochromatic life. Her strong, indomitable spirit encourages you to never back down in whatever hardships you may face in life. Good things come in small packages. This rings true when it comes to our super talented, petite songbird. She challenges her adversities head on, refusing to give up even though tears might be shed, sweat might be toiled and even blood might be dropped in the process. One cannot do anything but admire the hardworking, the ever-smiling, the one and only, our moon goddess, Luna.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy, when times are gray. The well-known song lyrics that can often be heard sung to a little child brings us to the sunshine of the group, SULLI. No person with a heart could resist that bright, life-changing smile of hers. What’s more, as an added bonus, her eyes smile along with her. That means, if you ever anticipated a smile from her, you can always guarantee that you will get two in return. Once you are caught by that enchanting smile, you will find yourself smiling like a silly idiot, thus, spreading the sunshine to other sunshine-deprived souls that you will encounter for that few moments while you are still holding that somewhat silly grin on your face.

Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. Well, f(x) fans should have nothing to fear whatsoever, because, we have both fire and ice. (Wait, does it mean that we die, twice?)

Fire burns, fire warms, fire lightens up your life. That is one true phrase that can best describe our sizzling hot, fiery f(x) persona, AMBER. Like the fire she was named after, you can’t stop yourself from being burned by her mesmerizing charisma on stage, by her utterly dorkiness off stage, and of course, by her shy smile in-between. She redefined the word mysterious and brought it to a whole different level. She makes you questions, and confuses you with the answers. From early on, she made you guesses her gender, to get to her middle name you need another few months, and one can only wonder when will the questions of her whereabouts be answered. If one decides to add another one to that list of Wonders of the World, then one must never forget to add, our charming prince Amber.

One icy glare from her royal highness, the princess, and you will find yourself stunned beyond recognition. Your tongue became stuck, your speech became incomprehensible, and your eyes bulged out, not to mention your mind became focused on that one single being aptly named, KRYSTAL. When you shook your head and try to recover, you will once again find yourself struck. Yet, this time, it was by that instant-killer abs that she possesses. Who says lightning never strikes the same spot twice? That person must have never encountered our princess of ice. Charming by the day, hardly bows to what the critics say, and why would you? Not when you hold thousands of fans hearts’ at bay.

Words are never enough to express all that I ever wanted to say. Certainly, not when it comes to my favourite Korean girl group, f(x)! What’s more, 500 words is not even close to a whole lot of letters, words, sentences, paragraphs that I wish I could keep continue typing to portray my love for these five wonderful girls. This is because a faithful fan’s heart will go on and on, even more than words can say.....
