[News] 4Minute's thoughts on Hong Kong

After the 'EMax X 4Minute fan-signing' which was held in Hong Kong on the 20th of February, 4Minute were interviewed briefly.

The girls expressed that they did not expect so many fans to turn up and support them. They were deeply touched by the Hong Kong fans' enthusiasm. They jokingly said that they hope there will be more fans waiting for them at the airport the next time they come to Hong Kong.

But will they ever visit Hong Kong again? 4Minute said they really wanted to watch 'A Symphony of Lights' 
*, but due to time-constraint, they were unable to make it. However, they will try to look out for the beautiful sceneries of Hong Kong through the bus windows.

When asked about their label seniors from Universal Music, Mr., and whether they are anywhere near the girls' ideal types of man, they replied, "We only managed to look at them for a short period of time, so we need to know their characters, and have more interactions with them in order to know."

4Minute were also asked if they have any Hong Kong star in mind with whom they want to work with. The reply came as "Regardless of who it is, as long as someone invites us, we will accept the invitation in 4 minutes!"
*A Symphony of Lights - A famous musical from Hong Kong which comprises the usage of laser lights and songs, and showcases the colours and glamour of the Victoria Harbour. It was put into the Guinness World Records as the biggest musical in the world that uses lights on the 21st of November, 2005.

[news/video] 4Minute in Hong Kong


The girls have already went to Taiwan, Philippines and Thailand for their Asia Tour. This time, they are here in Hong Kong for a 5D4N trip to promote their mini album, 'For Muzik'. As HyunAh has to attend Music Bank on the 19th, only 4 members arrived in the Hong Kong airport. The flight was about half an hour late (they reached at 12:40AM), but that did not affect the 50 fans (approximately) who came very early in the morning to the airport to secure a good spot. The girls wore shorts and thin shirts, as if telling everyone they are fearless of the cold weather. 4 bodyguards were present to ensure the safety of the girls.

Members of the media and press were impressed because 4Minute did not put on airs as the hottest Hallyu stars, but instead, allowed everyone and anyone to take photos of them. Other than greeting the fans, accepting their gifts and giving out autographs, the girls called out "I love you!" when fans screamed "Saranghaeyo!" Even after they have boarded the shuttle bus, they did not show any sign of impatience at the fans chasing after them, and even smiled and waved. For more pics of the girls at the airport, click here.

On the same day, the girls were interviewed by various media groups in Hong Kong, then proceeded to have a Japanese style dinner with their manager in the evening. HyunAh joined them later in the day.

Today, 20th of February, 4Minute attended 'EMax X 4Minute fan-signing' with fellow Universal Music label-mates (seniors), Mr. , and exchanged autographed albums. Check out some videos below.

Entrance:

[video] Amerie Featuring 4minute and BEAST "hear em all" released



credits: XDDDD30 @ youtube

Amerie which is a half korean (since her mother is korean) singer who debuted in the states, released her remixed version of "heard em all" featuring 4minute and BEAST.

Although some fans expected 4minute and BEAST to be singing/rapping in english, they were disappointed, since they rapped/sung in korean with amerie singing in english.

The song is okay and it looks like it is meant for korean listeners. The original song was with Lil Wayne.

And looks like she will be dropping by Korea this coming March to promote her album!

[NEWS] 4minute in Thailand!



On February 12, 2010, 11AM at Doositanee Hotel in Bangkok, 4Minute and Universal Music Thailand held a press conference with the press and media for the first time release of the album "For Muzik" in Thailand. 4Minute greeted Thai Fans with a smile, saying "We're 4Minute. Sawadee ka!"

This press conference shows the relationship between Universal Music and Cube Entertainment, the current entertainment labels of 4Minute and BEAST, which are collaborating to open a new Asian music market in both countries.


▲So how does it feel, since this is your first time in Thailand?
JiHyun: We were excited since the plane ride to Thailand. We wondered if there are any 4Minute fans in Thailand, and when we got here, even though it was already pretty late, the fans still came to welcome/see us. Thank you (to the fans).

▲Why is the group called 4Minute, and why do you think that 4Minute is different from other idol groups?
JiYoon: The meaning of 4Minute is, we will capture the hearts of the people within 4 minutes, and what sets us apart from other idol group is that we are a "down to earth" kind of group.

▲How hard was it to make the 'For Muzik' Album? Do you have any stories to share during the production process?
JiHyun: In Korea, there is a superstition that if there is an unexpected incident during or before a big project or event, the project will become a success. And so during the making of the album, we had an unexpected incident where we got in a small car accident.

▲So what are your favorite songs and why?
GaYoon: My favorite song is Muzik, because the beats that are similar to a heart's beat, so when you listen to the song, it sounds like your heart is beating together with the beats of the song.
SoHyun: I like the song call What a Girl Wants, because it’s the sexiest song on the album.
HyunAh: My favorite song is For Muzik, because it has a nice meaning to it, the lyrics means that we made this song only for you (for the fans).
JiHyun: I like Hot Issue the most, because it was our debut song. Before we were able to debut with this song, we had to go through many hardships.
JiYoon: Actually, I like every song in the album, but if I'm asked to choose then I'll probably pick Won't Give You (Anjullae), because it was the first song that I've rapped. I practiced very hard for the rap so I grew to love the song.

▲You have only recently arrived in Thailand, but do you know any Thai Words?
4Minute: 4Minute Su Su (4Minute Fighting), Hlor Jung Loey (so handsome), Sawadee Pee Mai Ka (Happy New Years, Ruk Na..Joob Joob (Love you..kiss kiss), Dee Yieam (Good/Very Good), Hlor Mak Mak (VERY handsome)

▲If you have an extra day in Thailand what do you want to do?
JiHyun: We heard that the King (of Thailand) is ill right now, so if we have an extra day we want to go visit him to see how well he is recovering.
Media and Press: *applause*

▲So what type of guys do you like? What do you look for in a man?
GaYoon: In the song What a Girl Wants, there was a part in the lyrics where it said to hold hands and intertwine them because it shows your love for each other.
SoHyun: Also from a part of the lyrics of What a Girl Wants, it says that when you speak to each other you look at each other in the eyes. It's your eyes that is filled with/shows your love for each other.
HyunAh: I like a guy that is older and is like my father, because my father has a very friendly personality and takes care of me very well, also because I can be a little whiny.
JiHyun: I like a guy with a good sense of humor and a bright personality.
JiYoon: I like guys like PK (PK was the MC for the press conference), really funny and handsome as well, haha.

▲Do you have any surprise for your fans?
JiHyun: Well we've prepared the songs in the album, so I hope the fans will take a look and buy it.

▲Usually, Thai fans would abbreviate the names of artist into nicknames, but the members of 4Minute have names that are kind of hard to pronounce, how do you guys call each other (what are your nicknames)?
SoHyun: Actually I think the names that we make for each other are even harder to remember since we included our last names: NamJi, HeoGa, JeonJi, KimHyun, KwonSo.

▲Since HyunAh is currently doing solo promotions, are there any plans on the others having a solo as well?
JiHyun: Well right now we haven't really planned anything but in the future the members will definitely have their own solos, since everyone wants to show their talents/skills. (oh yes! woohoo!!)

▲Even though on the 14th, many celebrate it as Valentine's Day, but it's Korea's Lunar New Year, so can you say a message to the Koreans living in Thailand?
4Minute: (In Thai) We are 4Minute, Sawadeeka. We hope everyone is in good health and Happy New Year 2010!

▲This Sunday is Valentine's day and New Year, can you send a message to the fans (fans as in all fans: Thai, Korean, etc.)
4Minute: (In Thai) We are 4Minute Happy New Years.
HyunAh: Also, thank you for inviting us to come to Thailand on New Year, we feel very honoured to be here and to have a chance of meeting everyone. We hope everyone will have fun with us in Thailand.
JiHyun: And for 4Minute, it's also a treasured and memorable experience to be able to come here and do activities in Thailand.

[NEWS] 4minute ended Philippine promotion successfully


MANILA ― K-pop girl group 4Minute ended their first Philippine tour Sunday after promoting their first mini-album, "For Muzik," in the Southeast Asian nation where K-pop is gaining popularity.

In Manila, 4Minute held shows in shopping malls, had autograph signing events for fans, and appeared on TV variety programs from February 5 to 7.

"For Muzik" contains the hit songs ""Hot Issue", "Muzik" and "What a Girl Wants" and was released in the Philippines on CD-DVD format.

The members of the idol group ― Hyun-ah, Ji-hyun, Ji-yoon, So-hyun and Ga-yoon ― met the Philippine press on February 5.

However, besides arriving an hour late for the press conference, the girls were barred by the organizer of the event from answering personal questions, particularly regarding Hyun-ah and her past association with K-pop girl band the Wonder Girls.

Hyun-ah was an original member of the Wonder Girls but had to quit the group just six months after they debuted in 2007 due to her deteriorating health.

On January 22, JYP Entertainment announced that Sun-mi, another member of the Wonder Girls, was quitting the group to resume her studies in South Korea.

With Hyun-ah and Sun-mi experiencing similar misfortunes with the Wonder Girls, The Korea Times asked Hyun-ah if she would consider going back to the Wonder Girls if Park Jin-Young, owner of JYP Entertainment, asked her to.

However, even before the interpreter could translate the question, a staff member for the organizer stopped her from answering the question.

The press also failed to get Hyun-ah's reaction on Sun-mi's decision to quit, when the organizer again prohibited her from responding.

The questions 4Minute members did answer were mainly about their diet and lifestyle.

Answering a question from The Korea Times on their health, 4Minute admitted that they are on a special diet to maintain their sexy image as K-pop idols.

But they said they were having a hard time controlling their diet in Manila since they love the food.

When asked about their friends outside the group, 4Minute said they are close to the members of K-pop groups BEAST and f(x).

4Minute and BEAST are managed by Cube Entertainment, an affiliate of JYP Entertainment.

4Minute debuted in Korea last June with the digital single "Hot Issue" which became a hit and earned the group two Rookie of the Month music awards. "For Muzik" was released in Korea last August.

They received the Golden Disk Newcomer Award alongside girl group T-ara last December.

This year, 4Minute won the Newcomer Award at the 16th Korea Entertainment Arts Awards and the Popular Artist Award at the 2010 Asia Model Awards.

Hyun-ah is currently appearing on the TV variety show "Invincible Youth" (a.k.a. "Incredible Youth").

[NEWS] 10.02.07 4minute SETS A RECORD


The 5-member group 4minute set a record in Philippine for the number of people who attended their showcase.

On the 6th, 4minute, who started their promotions in Philippines on the 4th, hold a showcase in the second-largest mall in Asia, the event was welcomed by more than 5000 people.
At SM Megamall in Manila downtown, the crowd was so hyper that the security line collapsed and the audience’s cheers covered the sound coming from the speakers.

It was when the live performances of 'Muzik' and 'Hot Issue' happened that the safety fence at the front of the stage collapsed. A performance had to be done again in order to calm down the audience instead of the postponed interview, supposed to be an interlude between the performances.

Around 10 minutes after the performances were interrupted, 4minute’s leader Nam JiHyun said :“The fans’ safety is the priority. Let’s end the performance without getting anyone hurt. Once again, thanks for having welcomed us, everybody, I’ll never forget you.”, thus showing the mature side of her.

On the 7th, 4minute will end their promotions in Philippines by performing on a major broadcasting channel, holding their last showcase and later a signing event. They’ll return to Korea on the 8th.

[News] 4Minute "we don’t get enough time to do things teens usually do"

http://seoulbeats.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/4minute_-20090728_seoulbeats.jpg

MANILA, Philippines - Their chinky eyes and singsong voices are distinctly Korean. And they say salamat, mahal ko kayo, astig and bongga with a different accent.

You can tell how much K-pop band 4 Minute wants to fit in, now that they’re in Manila for the first time to promote their debut mini-album For Muzik (MCA Music, Inc.).


Sohyeon Kwon, Hyunah Kim, Jihyun Nam. Jiyoon Jeon and Gayoon Heo Jiyoon wish they could learn more Tagalog words, but their short stay in the country prevents them from doing so.


The girls are so busy, they will return to Korea right after the last leg of their promo tour today, 5 p.m. at SM North EDSA Annex Event Center.


We want Filipinos to invite us again,” they chorus. “We will memorize more Tagalog words next time.”


That’s welcome news for members of the band’s fan club which attended their presscon the other day at Shangri-La Hotel. The six fans who came to see their idols up close even shelled out funds from their student allowance to print white T-shirts with the words 4 Minute proudly emblazoned on them.


Berna, who went straight to the hotel after her classes, sang a few lines from 4 Minutes’ hit song What a Girl Wants, with her fellow fans.


And what, exactly, does a girl want these days?


Nothing spectacular to us past uh, the teen years, actually. For the girls of 4 Minute, it’s something as simple as the freedom “to hold hands with a guy I like.”


Their answer shouts girl empowerment — something every teenager will say yes, yes, yes to. Figures why the song is getting heavy airplay in music channels and radio stations.
What a Girl Wants, plus two more hits off their album, Hot Issue and Muzik are whisking the girls to places they have not been to, like the top position in KKBox, Taiwan’s number one music spot.

And, just like most celebrities, the girls observe that “we don’t get enough time to do things teens usually do.”


“It’s hard to roam around town,” they explain. “So we just stay home.”


It’s a sacrifice, especially for typical teens like them who find shopping, watching movies and eating out simply irresistible. But it’s a sacrifice they’re willing to make — together.


The girls have gotten so close one of them even said she would like to be with her band members on stage if she were given only four minutes to live.


But isn’t the name 4 Minute a misnomer since the band has five members?


“We’ve got four minutes to give our all every time we perform. That’s why we’re called 4 Minute,” they explain. “And we give our best every single minute.”


Their equally young audience seems to agree. The fans buy 4 Minute’s album, dance to their music, applaud their videos.


“Music is more powerful than any kind of communication,” the girls of 4 Minute declare. “It goes beyond what language can do.”


Despite the language barrier, which an interpreter tries her best to break, 4 Minute is making its point loud and clear.
