Netizens Praise 2nd Gen K-Pop Idol For Bisexual Representation In New MV
Netizens are loving the double attraction vibes of a 2nd Gen K-Pop idol’s latest song video.
Recently, f(x)‘s Amber Liu released her new fun and sexy single, “Dusk Till Dawn,” about “sneaking out” with someone.
Now, the melody video has been released, and fans were pleasantly surprised by the LGBTQIA+ representation in the video. Amber is featured going on dates and dancing with both a man and a woman.
The MV ultimately ends with the woman taking a picture of Amber and the guy together, leaving the rest of the video open for interpretation. Was the woman really a third wheel who liked Amber, but feelings weren’t reciprocated? It’s up to the viewer to determine the video’s meaning.
Still, netizens were excited to watch the queer voice from a K-Pop idol. Many pansexual fans especially appreciated the music video. The fact that Amber served as a writer and one of the directors, too, makes it all the more meaningful.
Amber has long self-identified as an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community.

The conservative territory of South Korea still may not allow same-sex marriage, but K-pop idols in the country’s music industry are doing their top to show back to their LGBTQIA fans however they can.

Holland made his debut in 2018 as the first openly gay K-pop idol with his single Neverland. He chose the stage name Holland as a tribute to the first region to legalise homosexual marriage. He originally struggled to debut as no fun company was willing to work with an openly homosexual artist and so he worked multiple jobs to fund his own debut. Since then he has used his platform to be an advocate for LGBTQIA rights and to illuminate a light on the homophobic discrimination that queer people are still facing in Korea’s conservative society.
In 2022, he took to Instagram to share photographs after being assaulted in the widespread clubbing district of Itaewon. Holland explained: “Last night, I was walking around Itaewon with my manager and a companion. Suddenly, a strange man approached me and hit
Amber Opens Up About Her Personal Identity And Just How Important The LGBTQ Community Is To Her
(f)x‘s Amber has released a recent mixtape called “Rogue Rouge”, and Amber says it’s her first chance to show the world who she really is and her stance on free love.
She has been self-promoting the album with free streaming on SoundCloud and her own Youtube channel because she wants the world to see her for who she really is.
She opened up during an interview with Billboard about how “Rogue Rouge” is about showing the society her opinions, political stances, and the emotional journey to how she got to where she is today.
“I think people still don’t know who I am. I wanted to be like, ‘Guys, I’m not who you ponder I am.’ I wish to show a very humane side of me.” — Amber
The album is personal for Amber, with songs about heartbreak, privacy, freedom, and her life in the music industry. She also took on a new change by featuring very little rapping, something different from her (f)x days when she was known as the rapper of the group.
“It’s always been in me, but I’m not a rapper. IR
I only managed to read one paper in these last days, but I am excited to share this one with you for two reasons. Last second, I bemoaned the lack of female idols in my explore, this week we are going to talk about Amber Liu. I also didn’t find any instances of queerbaiting with celebrities, but what this paper describes looks to me exactly as the queerbaiting TV shows do.
The paper also starts out by talking about Liu’s appearance, which it describes as tomboyish or androgynous. It is even more noticeable as the singer is part of a girl team where the other members dress like a stereotypical female idol. There are examples from harmony videos, public performances and even talk shows or social media posts where Liu appears. Analysing these, it is not only Liu’s appearance that’s shown in contrast with the other bandmembers or other idols but the singer’s gestures or behaviour.
Nonetheless, while Amber’s style is different to that of her female counterparts, she is not recognized by her fans as particularly out of the ordinary. We deduce that the reason for this is because she looks not dissimilar to many of the K-Pop’s male stars. (…) If we t
