f(x)’s journey has been a rollercoaster of soaring highs and sudden silences. The group, formed by SM Entertainment, debuted in 2009 and quickly rose to prominence with hits that topped South Korea’s Gaon Digital Chart. The quintet, originally consisting of Victoria, Amber, Luna, Krystal, and Sulli — who departed the group in 2015 — was celebrated for their eclectic electropop sound and critically acclaimed albums. Post-2016, after their “All Mine” release, the group ceased group promotions, and the members pursued solo careers in various entertainment sectors.

August 2019 marked a brief reunion of the group, albeit without Victoria, at the SM Town Live concert in Tokyo. Shortly thereafter, departure from SM Entertainment was sequentially announced by Amber in September 2019, Luna followed suit, and Victoria’s contract discussions were publicly uncertain. Krystal parted ways with the agency in October 2020, signing with a new company, and in April 2021, Victoria’s contract expiration was confirmed.

Despite these developments, Luna’s comments in April 2021 suggested that the group had not officially disbanded, adding a layer of ambiguity to the group’s status. More recently, Krystal shared a heartfelt message about the group’s dynamics during an interview. The member expressed her desire for a reunion emphasizing the strong bond between the members and their affection for the group’s legacy.

 When I see other groups’ reunions, I feel choked up. To be honest, we didn’t expect our last album to be our last. I think I’ll be really happy if we get a chance to reunite again.

— Krystal for “Money Today”

As it stands, the reunion remains a rumor, with no concrete evidence or official statement to support the claims of their return to the stage together.

The f(x) members are individually thriving, yet the collective hope for a reunion, as expressed by Krystal and fans alike, persists. Until an official announcement is made, the future of f(x) as a unit remains a subject of speculation and wishful thinking in the K-Pop community.
