From Sulli's pictorial
ソルリのグラビア写真から
For idols, visuals are the most lasting.
The girl group f(X) ended when Sulli left the group. That's how I see it.
If they had continued to push visuals forward and compete with Sulli and Krystal, it would have been a completely different story.
Every time I listen to their early songs like "Hot Summer" and "Pinocchio" over and over again, this feeling deepens. The balance of the five members and skill improvement would have been important. However, I don't like the fact that they took Sulli and Krystal's visual growth lightly.
It's clear when you look at how TWICE and BLACKPINK have achieved success.
If they hadn't misjudged the flow of training f(X), which includes Sulli and Krystal, they would have taken over from Girls' Generation and become active as top girls by now.
Some members are considered to have been mismatched for that purpose... Without Sulli as the lead, they wouldn't have become a big group. f(X) was that kind of group.
I think about this every time I watch their early videos.
If f(X) had stayed true to their concept and continued to promote,
Sulli would be flying around the world right now...
