In 2009, SM made a huge impact by introducing f(x) to the music industry. From the moment of their debut, f(x) demonstrated their exceptional talents and striking visuals, solidifying their reputation as a one-of-a-kind group. Throughout their peak, the girl group successfully embodied various complex concepts and received high praise for their musical abilities. In particular, the two youngest members, Sulli and Krystal Jung, became renowned for their stunning visuals, solidifying their status as icons of the second generation. Even though f(x) disbanded some time ago, many K-pop enthusiasts still fondly mention Krystal in various discussions.
Krystal debuted with f(x) at the young age of 14, in 1994. Her stunning looks immediately captured the attention of the public, earning her the nickname of “K-pop muse”and becoming a favorite model of creative director Min Hee-jin during her time at SM. Her elegant, sophisticated, and fancy appearance is one of her many charms as a female idol.
It is a well-known fact that Krystal possesses both beauty and talent. As the younger sister of Girls’ Generation’s vocalist Jessica, she also possesses a stunning singing voice. Her charming vocals, flawless dance abilities, and commanding stage presence make her a natural idol and one of the most versatile second-generation stars in K-pop.
Despite possessing all the qualities of a star, Krystal’s fame was hindered by the mismanagement of SM Entertainment. As a result, her girl group f(x) was filled with talent but faced unfortunate circumstances. After Sulli’s controversies in 2014, f(x) returned as a four-member group with their single “4 Walls”before entering a prolonged hiatus. Ultimately, after four years without any schedules from 2015 to 2019, the members of f(x) made the decision to go their separate ways when their contracts expired.
Krystal’s biggest regret was withdrawing from the music industry after her last promotion as a singer with “4 Walls”at the young age of 22. Despite nine years having passed, she has yet to return to the stage. However, she has found fulfillment in her focus on acting and other activities outside of singing.
Despite knowing that Krystal is still thriving, numerous fans continue to yearn for the return of “idol Krystal”. In conversations about K-pop icons, Krystal is consistently recognized as one of the most captivating performers on stage.
This year, Krystal shocked her fans by signing with BANA Entertainment and displaying indications of making a comeback in the music industry. She notably released a cover of “I’m Coming Back” and revamped her music profile.
There has been much speculation surrounding Krystal’s potential solo activities. This is due to the fact that her current company, BABAA, was established by Kim Ki-hyun, a former member of SM’s global talent recruitment team who has a close relationship with Min Hee-jin. Additionally, BANA manages 250 and FRNK, two of the three main producers of NewJeans.
Consequently, there is a great anticipation among fans for Krystal to drop fresh tracks under the production of that team, accompanied by a concept crafted by Min Hee-jin.
