f(x)'s Amber Defends Tomboy Image On Instagram After Receiving Stream Of Insults

After receiving a slew of insults for her tomboy image, f(x) rapper Amber Liu opened up to her followers on Instagram to explain how hurtful it is to be judged for her different personality.

"I never want to be forceful but there comes a time where I need to put my foot down on something I strongly believe in," Amber began in a message to her Instagram followers on July 26. "Due to recent events I want to address something: I've been a tomboy pretty much all my life and honestly, to put it short, it really sucks sometimes."

"Haters can and will hate, but insulting me in front my face is totally different thing," the American-born K-pop star continued. "I personally believe girls and boys are not limited to one specific look. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. We are all different. If we all sang the same melody how can there be harmony? Don't judge someone just because they're different. Hopefully we can all grow to respect each other's differences."

She also took the time to thank the fans that have been so accepting of her despite her being a tomboy, and encouraged them to continue loving themselves and each other no matter who they may choose to be.

"I'm always trying to stay positive and happy," she said. "I love my life, my work, and the people who are constantly supporting me. I am always thankful because I know I can't be here on my own strength. With every mistake, I analyze my fault and then try to better myself. I know I can't be perfect but I will always try to be my best. In regards to that, I want thank everyone again for constantly encouraging me and believing in me."

"To put it simply, love and help one another," Amber wrote. "And for people who are struggling, always be yourself. Being true and real to who you are is the biggest thing you can do for yourself. Love life, work hard, and chase your dreams,"
