f(x) Amber talks about her boyish image

[amine87.livejournal.com]

5-member girlgroup f(x) have an interview recently with T-news and member Amber talks about her boyish style in the group.

Amber talked about how when she met the other members for the first time and was mistaken as a guy, “I’m not surprised by the members’ reaction, thinking that I’m a guy.”

“I enjoyed the boyish style since I was young. When I go shopping with my mother, I even go the menswear section.”

And when asked what it is like to wear menswear during promotional activities, different from the other members, Amber said, “When I was young, I wear skirts too, but I thought pants are more comfortable. And because my parents were understanding in that sense, I can make this style now.”

Not that we mind y? I thought it's nice to see not-so-girly-look on girls.

Why is that?

[loveisdesire.livejournal.com]

I even go the menswear section.

O.o... I understand tomboy since I used to be one but wtf lol

[krispy-bacon.livejournal.com]

I go straight there too. 8D I wear all guy clothes.

Girl clothes are too small...not enough room. XD

My mom never questioned it, being a tomboy herself. :D

I even go the menswear section.

then isn't that crossdressing, not just tomboy style? :x

I wouldn't generalize it as that. I mean, back in highschool I wore some clothing from the men's section too due to:

comfort - I haven't worn a dress since elementary school. Not saying I'm against wearing one now I just feel like i'd be going outside half naked.

sizes - I was/is tall....and a 2x4 plank at that. Apple bottom jeans aren't cutting it for me especially when my derrié resembles driftwood more than a fruit.

style - I simply liked the stlye, especially of men's jeans. Now I've added skinny pants to my roster *which is perfect for my shape or lack of it*.

And I didn't even consider myself a tomboy. Maybe if they had left Amber's hair longer it wouldn't come off so strongly/deliberate?

haha nice outfit in the photo though ^~^
It's nice that she can be herself and wear whatever comfortable to her~

...I go to menswear section too sometimes, lmao

[visual-jaeho.livejournal.com]

Well i hope people will stop with the "why aren't they dressing her as a girl/her boyish image is so fake" thing.

[spidersky.livejournal.com]

[carmendove.livejournal.com]

Rock on Amber. Rock on!

[miduhyo.livejournal.com]

do your thing, kid. i'm not even a tomboy and i still tried to get the headmaster to let me wear the boys' uniform back in school, skirts are such a pain :(

[carmendove.livejournal.com]

Did he let you?
I've always been disturbed by the rules in some schools that force girls to wear skirts.
I'm not really a tomboy but I can't wear skirts/dresses because I feel so exposed :/

[krispy-bacon.livejournal.com]

ok I've never found her attractive really until that picture right there. :o nice~

I shop in the men's section too. It's my home~ XD

Only one person I've ever met had a problem with that. Idgi really. I still look like a girl though. I don't have a boyish face~

[unsospiro.livejournal.com]

Androgyny for the win.

[carmendove.livejournal.com]

Oh Minho. You are such a pretty bride.

[duvets.livejournal.com]

[oblivionly.livejournal.com]

Well guys always get the cooler t-shirt designs anyways... :P

[amine87.livejournal.com]

My bf told me why all guys t-shirts look alike while girls' vary alot... haha.

[radical-ed57.livejournal.com]

She's so hot. Its not fair. In fact, its illegal. /has to keep telling herself this

[turdferguson.livejournal.com]

[meccamputech.livejournal.com]

she reminds me of the hk/taiwanese ulzzangs i see on soompi

[breathe-ai.livejournal.com]

Men's fashion is soooo much easier to find stuff tbh, women's fashion has too much nonsense/choices going on...

How many articles about Amber's boyish image are we going to have?

MTE.

Does the media need to make a big deal about boyish girls? Well, I get it's not normal, but still, you see a lot of boyish girls wherever you go. I'm pretty sure boyish girls in Korea are common too.

I had a boyish girl phase in high school, but it didn't stick with me. :/

[cruel-disorder.livejournal.com]

I'm glad she addressed this, but sad that she even had to :\

[finalfantasyo13.livejournal.com]

IA.

[jaybomb.livejournal.com]

lol my freshman year of high school, I bought my entire wardrobe in the menswear section. But that was because we had uniforms.

When I was young, I wear skirts too, but I thought pants are more comfortable.

Same with me, I only wear skirts if it's absolutely necessary.

I like the way she dresses, and I don't think she should have to explain it.

[chiroro.livejournal.com]

I never thought she was hot or anything until I saw that picture :D

Go Amber!

[centric-xx.livejournal.com]

we get it. you're a tomboy.

[shopaholism.livejournal.com]

mte

[hp-groupie.livejournal.com]

Good for you Amber.

Oh...and I just want to say that men use to have some bombass t-shirts and shoes when I was younger and everything girls wore was pink. : / I snuck into the mens' section too.

[xradiostatic.livejournal.com]

ikr? i love men's tshirts. they have the best designs.

[cinis.livejournal.com]

Omg that picture is hot /shallow

[jesusluvsjaeho.livejournal.com]

i'd wear that in a heartbeat. wouldn't look as good doing it though. XD

flannel shirts will always hold a special place in my grunge-loving heart.

if she's gonna rock menswear, she should wear some nice makeup, like a red lip and smokey eye makeup.
