[genuine question from an f(x) newbie] why is "cult" ticked off in the album cover for pink tape? (1 Viewer)

r.i.p. sulli. i just wanted to make clear that i know of her death and it is so, so, so tragic. but i do agree with others who say that appreciating her music is one way of honoring her, so i looked into some of her songs and the ones from f(x)'s pink tape are so amazing.

this is just a simple question. do longtime f(x) fans know why the "cult" box in the genre section of the pink tape album cover is checked off?

i googled it but could find nothing as to how it's relevant to the concept. is this just random?

Cult classic...?
Since all of the above are film genres

Or it could be one of the Illuminati X SM hints idk

the cult classic thing makes sense. i just thought it was related to an album concept or something, like how red velvet's peek-a-boo literally features a fictional cult in the mv. but i don't like conspiracy theories, so idk about the illuminati thing

Thank you for reminding me of album of the century. I don't have an answer to your question tho.

Since recent tragedy, people have been going back and connecting a lot of weird things that sm idols have done (mainly f(x)) to the Illuminati. Album covers, hand gestures, song lyrics etc
In any other circumstance it'd be funny, but people are trying say SM sacrificed their artists for fame

I think it‘s really about genres.

As an f(x) die hard fan I could write a book on how much illuminati references there are in everything f(x) related.

But the cult checkmark box on Pink Tape isn't related to anything unusual.

I feel it's just a reference to f(x) in general being an experimental group who have a lot of antis because of that. When I first got into kPop I was shocked at how many people didn't like f(x) cause their sound was so different from the norm.

My only problem with this conceit is probably that I don't believe in Illuminati things. I used to, but now I've realized I find them ridiculous, and probably won't ever believe in them again. Don't get me wrong: Entertainment industries are absolutely messed up, but that's more due to human corporate greed and evil than supernatural fuckery IMO.

The Illuminati and SMs connection to it is probably not real but they like people to think it is.

Anything to keep people talking about them.
