On December 2nd, Amber was seen attending SHINee’s concert. SM Entertainment officials stated, “Amber has returned to Korea for the year-end. It is true that she visited SHINee’s concert. Her condition has improved a lot after resting in the U.S.”

They continued, “Amber will continue to rest while preparing for f(x)’s next album. We are currently deciding on the date for their comeback.

Her return seems to have put an end to the disbandment rumors surrounding the group since her leave.

Cube Entertainment reveals their agenda for 2011

Cube Entertainment, home to artists like B2ST, 4minute, and G.NA, made an official announcement on January 3rd revealing their official plans for the year.

CEO Hong Seung Sung wrote on the agency’s official homepage:

“G.NA will be releasing a new album in January. She’s currently in the final preparation stages and will be returning with a variety of tracks that will surely receive the success that “I’ll Back Off So You Can Live“ achieved.”

“4minute will be releasing a new album in February as well. The members are currently working hard to create high quality music fitting for the high expectations. Their new start for the new year will be unveiled in February.”

“B2ST will be resting for a brief period after completing their fourth album promotions, and will move onto a new challenge. They’ve received much attention since their achievements at their first Japanese showcase, and will be focusing on their Japanese debut for the first half of this year. Their Japanese promotions will become a huge turning point for the group’s future activities.”

Their Japanese activities do not mean that they will not be promoting in Korea as well. The sons and daughters of Cube are precious jewels that are too big for the limited stage in Korea. Cube will be continuing to promote B2ST, 4minute, and G.NA all over Asia with powerful content, as that is our priority.”
