Amber Liu has spoken about the future of K-Pop girl group f(x) after she quit her agency SM Entertainment.

Last month the 27-year-old star, who has been in the industry since she was 15, annnounced she had chosen not to renew her contract and start on ‘the next chapter of my career’. Fellow member Victoria followed her just four days after.

That next chapter will be her solo album X and the lead track Hands Behind My Back.

F(x)’s fandom MeU might be wondering about whether there’s any chance of new music from Amber, Krystal, Luna and Victoria, and Amber has explained there are ‘no plans’ for another album.

But don’t rule it out completely.

She told Metro.co.uk: ‘Whether we do music or not, I think there will be a time when we can but I think right now we’re just figuring ourselves out. We have no plans, but it’s never not an option.’

Amber spoke about how the members are ‘like sisters’ who regularly stay in touch but make sure they don’t ‘hold each other back’ or feel jealous of a member deciding to go it alone, which Amber says can happen in groups.

‘I was just texting Krystal last night! ‘ she said.

‘I’ve always said we’re more than just a group that just does music together. We’re friends. We’re family. We’re sisters and that’s always gonna be there. We always hit each other when we can.

‘We respect each other’s ventures.Krystal’s killing it with her acting, Luna’s doing her music, Victoria’s killing it with her performing and her modelling and acting.

‘We have never had the feeling of, once somebody started doing something on their own, we would never be like, “Oh why are they doing something on their own?”. We never have that.

‘I’m just gonna say something that no one wants to say, but I think a lot of people in the industry who are in groups you’re gonna have that natural envy.

‘But for our group we’re like why should we waste time being envious when we should support each other and push each other to do better.’

From the sounds of her new single Hands Behind My Back Amber is definitely moving onwards and upwards.

She explained that the song came from a place of ‘anger’ at people who ‘took advantage’ or her or tried to ‘restrict’ her in her career.

‘There were so many people that just lied to my face and say things that don’t make sense,’ Amber told us.

‘I try to be the bigger person, and people just take advantage of the situation. They restrict me or block me from things and I’m just like [sigh].

‘I’m so mad and I feel like I’m in a sleeping bag when you zip yourself up and you can’t move. Like, what do you want me to do?

‘Once I figured it out I can’t wait around any more. It’s so funny these people who treat me like a child, who lie to my face, who use me, who do these bad things to me or whoever while they literally restrict me from doing things and put my hands behind my back, they also don’t know what I’m doing behind my back. It’s like, you dug your own grave, you suck!’

Hands Behind My Back is out now and the album X is coming soon.
