And the countdown for f(x)‘s long awaited comeback has begun.
Fans of the idol girl group are preparing to welcome the girls back to the Korean music industry as the group’s talent agency SM Entertainment recently teased their comeback via Instagram and Twitter.
After promoting SNSN Girls’ Generation‘s Taeyeon‘s solo debut, SM Entertainment finally put their focus on promoting f(x)’s comeback with a couple of teasers.
A 11-second teaser was posted by the Korean entertainment giant on Twitter, revealing the date and time of f(x)’s comeback. They are set to return with their new album on 21st October (Wednesday) at 8pm KST.

The tweet led us to an Instagram account that was specially created for f(x)’s comeback.
Several teaser pictures were posted on the account and one of the photos came with the caption, “[4 Walls] – An Exhibit”:
The picture seemed to signify that the group will make their comeback as a 4-member girl group for the first time ever.
This came after maknae Sulli announced that she would leave the group to focus on her acting career.
If all these are indeed the teasers for their comeback, the new album will mark their first album since releasing “Red Light” in July 2014. No word on what the 4th album will be named and how many songs will be included in it, but we are excited to find out what they might have in store.
As they are known for their energetic electronic and psychedelic music, we do wonder if they will have a different approach to their new album. It’ll be exciting to see what kind of comeback concept they will pull off too.
What do you think their comeback concept will look like? Do you think their new album will consist of their self-written or self-composed tracks? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
