Background
Krystal Jung was spotted by SM Entertainment in 2000, which earned her a small role in a short segment of Shinhwa's "Wedding March" music video. SM discovered Luna Park in 2006, while she was performing for a television show. In September 2007, SM discovered Victoria Song at a dance competition in Beijing, China, which brought her to South Korea for a modeling and acting career. A month later, Amber Liu was casted from an audition in Orange County, California.
While Krystal was the first member to make a media appearance, having appeared briefly in a Lotte commercial in 2002, Sulli Choi was the first member to make a debut, officially debuting as a child actress in September 2005 as the role of young Princess Sun-hwa in the SBS television drama, The Ballad of Seo-dong. Victoria was the second; she made her first appearance as a model for SPRIS with Korean actor-singer Lee Jun-ki in early 2008 with announced modeling activities in the future. Krystal began training for f(x) in 2006 along with Sulli and Luna. Amber joined them in early 2008, with Victoria the last to join the group, in the latter months of 2008.
