Krystal Talks “4 Walls” MV and Worries About New Album on Blue Night Radio

[slowitdownbaby.livejournal.com]

On November 12, f(x)’s Krystal guested on labelmate SHINee’s Jonghyun’s radio show “Blue Night.” On the show, she shared her thoughts about f(x)’s comeback and their latest album, “4 Walls.”

“The members are usually apart because of our individual schedules, but when we release an album we come together for a short and intense time. Right now we’re promoting without sleeping,” she said.



A listener on the show complimented the singer on the title track’s elegant choreography, inspired by the “vogue” dance genre. “I feel good when I hear things like that,” Krystal said. “All the members worked really hard to prepare this album. We practiced the choreography for over two months. It was tough so I’m happy when people tell us that they enjoy it.”

About the title track itself, “4 Walls,” she said, “It’s a song that suits my personal taste really well, but I worried about whether other people would like it. We also had a tough time recording the other songs on the album. The songs were difficult. We worried a lot, but now that the reaction has been good, I’m very happy and grateful.”



The music video has generated many different interpretations because of its abstract style. “The content is open for interpretation,” Krystal said. “It’s interesting because there are no choreography sequences.”

“In fact, the filming was too easy,” she continued. “Because there were no choreography sequences, we finished at 7 p.m. All the members couldn’t believe we were finished so early.”

The music video was shot in a forest and a pension on Jeju Island. “Because the filming felt too comfortable, we worried that the music video wouldn’t be very good. But luckily it turned out well.”

jonghyun: the soojung that i know is someone who has a lot of emotions but to show that to the public (is hard)…, so, people think of your image as cold.

listener: what is jjong-d to krystal?
krystal: i don’t know what to say. (pauses) oppa is nothing? (pauses) i’m just joking. oppa feels like my real oldest brother. i don’t have brothers so he’s like a real oppa to me. jjong-d and i also express (our) affection (for each other) like real siblings would when we talk to each other. (laughs)

krystal: i always complain to you, right?
jonghyun: it’s okay.

krystal: there’s something i want to say.
jonghyun: what is it?
krystal: remember when we were trainees? we had a talent show thing every week, right?
jonghyun: yeah, every week.
krystal: there was one time when i was singing and kibum-op … (pause), key-oppa and oppa (jonghyun) were in front of me and you both kept on teasing me. because the tone was so low i couldn’t sing my song well and key oppa and you kept on teasing and mimicking me. that’s why, ever since then, i’ve hated (doing) talent shows so much. (laughs)

listener: if krystal and jjong-d did a collaboration what would it feel like?
jonghyun: i’ve never thought about this.
krystal: me either.
jonghyun: soojung-ssi and i don’t (really) talk about work. we talk about personal stuff. we don’t have time to talk about work (with each other because of that). (laughs)

krystal was soooo animated / chatty during the guesting. she's usually so shy / quiet so it's nice to see her in an obvious comfort zone for once. they were really sweet though. ;; her talking about how much she trusts jjong, ect. it's no wonder they mentioned each other as best friends so often.

krystal mentioned her contract with sm during the show too and said that she has a "long time" left on it.

krystal mentioned her contract with sm during the show too and said that she has a "long time" left on it.

I wonder if that means all of f(x) has renewed already or if she's gonna go the actress/model route like Sulli.

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

that's what i'm wondering too. because i saw someone say after she mentioned it that all the members have group and individual contracts which i believe (i think that's how it goes with most companies though). i wouldn't be surprised if the members were using this cycle right now to feel things out for the future. apparently their group contract expires around their anni next year? it's a good thing it went so well this time around, tbh.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Do you know if all SM groups have both group and individual contracts or it's only for f(x)?

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

idk tbh but i'm assuming all artists signed to their company have both?

[tree-star123.livejournal.com]

iirc when snsd debuted it was revealed that yoona has 13 yr contract w/ sm.

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

jfc

[kaykaydelight.livejournal.com]

That's seems a bit unnecessary

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Holy shit o__o. So her contract ends when? Like in 2020?

[haxoru.livejournal.com]

i wish jonghyun would hug me like that

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Thanks for saving me from typing this exact very thing again....lol.

[tree-star123.livejournal.com]

i wonder how much longer fx contracts are compared to snsd. maybe she said that to ease the fans?

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

apparently ever group has a seven year contract from debut, like shinee renewed theirs sometime in the last year, snsd renewed theirs last year, ect. so, f(x)'s group contract should be expiring in late-ish 2016 unless it's different for them. (i get the impression that every contract after that is three years?)

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Has shinee confirmed that they've renewed though? I've never seen an official statement about that like I've seen with other groups (either from SM or from other companies). It makes me feel a bit anxious tbh.

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

nah, it's fine. it wasn't ever confirmed via mediaplay by sm, but they were commenting on it last year already and there's no way they would've went over seven years without renewing or that their contracts would be longer than seven years. honestly i think the only group that ever had mediaplay about resigning was snsd?

[tree-star123.livejournal.com]

ah okay b/c i remember some individuals having 10 yr or 13 yr contracts

[syimato.livejournal.com]

I love that her eyebrows turned upside down like that whenever she made a sad face or laughing it is so adorable~ <3

[eesor.livejournal.com]

Very cute. Their dynamics do seem like they are siblings. I love seeing(/hearing things about) Krystal interact with her special people. She's very cute and adorable.

[tsukiokuhime.livejournal.com]

Their precious interaction is killing me, they care a lot about each other as 'friends' (or family?) instead of coworker. lol @ jjong calling her his brother instead of sister tho, but he adores her so much it's endearing.

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

I love how jonghyun is always showing his never-ending love for fx.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Jjong looks so good in those denim / casual clothes. It makes him looks even a bit younger.

[friedchickeneu.livejournal.com]

they're so cute together and it just warms my heart to see how soojung's so comfortable around jonghyun.
it's even like we're intruding their bonding time or something.

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

I was gonna say I wish I had a male companion like Jonghyun in my life....but then nah....cause....yeah, lol.

[tree-star123.livejournal.com]

this is so nice to see & i'm glad to see jonghyun support her and fx. lol krystal bringing up that story i wonder if they ever feel guilty about that

[bomsnose.livejournal.com]

super cute, and i love the bits of insight she gave.

lol irl cause of vogue dance genre, though, going to check what they actually said in a bit.

[undeniablysarah.livejournal.com]

Jonghyun is literally King

[ixakaixa.livejournal.com]

I like the way jjong adores soojung so much, I wish I have a brother like him tbh :

[lycorisc.livejournal.com]

i'd love to be their siblings tbh. jjong dotes on krys so much and he understands her personality and idk i'm touched that he's defending her by saying that she's not how people perceive her to be (cold and a bitch). ahhh they're sweet

[chocolatecrack.livejournal.com]

Jonghyun's love for f(x) is so beautiful, I swear. He loves them so much.

SNSD or Red Velvet?
