Nichkhun & Victoria’s magazine article gets cut

On the April 23rd episode of MBC’s “We Got Married“, 2PM’s Nichkhun and f(x)’s Victoriaexpressed their disappointment with their article being cut off in a magazine they were scheduled to have.

The couple was previously given a mission to act as a one-day journalist and come up with an article introducing the tastes of Korea for an internationally circulated vacation magazine.

Through the help of friends, the two diligently completed the task and earned praise of professionalism for their completed piece.

Unfortunately, while they were originally promised two full pages, only one page was printed in the magazine. To add salt to the wound, not one line from their submitted article was used at all.

Nichkhun commented, “It’s a professional magazine so I didn’t have much expectations. I guess I kind of expected it, but I did hope for our article to be in it.”

Victoria added, “I expected too much so my disappointment is just as great. I feel like someone dumped cold water on me.”

Have you ever imagined calling the girls from f(x), “the girls from ‘the bomb’?

On April 23th, the members of f(x), after making their comeback with “Pinocchio”, held an interview with KBS “Entertainment Relay”.

During this broadcast, the reporter asked, “Was there team names other than f(x)?”. To the question, the members answered, “There were a variety of group names that we could have chosen from, some including: ‘the Bomb’, ‘Flowers’, and ‘Miyaho” (because it sounds similar to a cat’s cry, ‘meow’). At one point, we were going to introduce ourselves with ‘Hello! We are group Miyaho!’ and make a cat’s meow sound while posing cutely.”

Good thing all those ideas bombed before settling on f(x).
