They’re no longer labelmates but they are still friends

Amber Liu announced that after a decade with SM Entertainment as a member of girl group F(x), she has decided not to renew her contract.

Although she is no longer labelmates with many celebrities that she has formed close relationships with, that doesn’t mean that she is no longer friends with them.

Amber announced the news by posting a handwritten letter on her Instagram, expressing her appreciation for her time with the company.

While Amber has left the company, her fellow member in F(x), Luna has expressed her support for Amber’s decision.

She was spotted liking the Instagram account, showing fans that she was in full encouragement of Amber making the choice to end her contract with SM Entertainment.

Although Luna and Amber have been incredibly close friends, Luna has shown consistent support of Amber’s solo endeavours, just as Amber has done the same for Luna.
