f(x) Feeling Grateful After Africa Trip

As you may have already known, f(x) were in Africa for a photoshoot for “2009 Kim Joongman Africa Project” during their break. Other celebrities such as Kim JongJin and magician Lee EunKyul were present for this project.

f(x) visited a Masaai tribe to experience life in a typical African setting. The girls learned a lot from this trip, especially the hardships poverty-stricken families face in a typical day. Even with the language barrier, children of the Masaai tribe learned a lot from the girls too. They learned how to sing and dance to f(x)’s hit song, “Lachata“.

After coming back from the trip, the girls expressed their gratitude, saying, “After seeing Africa’s barren land, I kept on thinking how lucky I am that I was born in Korea. I feel like I learned a lot from the Masaai families because they can still laugh even though they are living in a hard life. I think this was my time to look back at my life, see how I’m living my life and make some changes to it.” It’s pleasant to have young artists like them to be aware of and care for the people living in poverty.

f(x) are set to make a comeback this month. Krystal and Luna recently sang for Cinderella’s Sister OST.
