While we all wait patiently for the group’s 3rd album tentative release in October, they’ve appeased the wait with this hot and simple spread for the fashion magazine. For this spread, the girls are seen in stylish and casual outfits, posing prettily for the camera with dogs. Here’s just a sneak peak of what’s to come in the upcoming issue!
The announcement was made on May 20th, and the idol is now waiting for her first recording. She will be joining actor Kim Young Chul, model Jessica Gomes, weather-caster Park Eun Ji, professional baduk player Lee Seul Ah, actress Kim Gyuri, singer Kim Jang Hoon, singer Moon Hee Jun, vocalist Kim Dong Gyu, marathoner Lee Bong Joo, and announcer Oh Sang Jin as part of the 11-member cast.
Each person will be paired with a dance specialist to compete in a dance competition. The MCs for the show will be actor Lee Duk Hwa and model Lee Sora.
“Dancing with the Stars” is scheduled to broadcast its first episode on June 10th.
Before recording for the upcoming September 12th edition of MBC’s new variety show, Bouquet, the girls took a group photo with no makeup on. The cast members from Bouquet praised the girls for their natural beauty, and many netizens expressed similar sentiments.
Got to love a girl group that doesn’t need makeup to look beautiful!
He uploaded a photo on his twitter with the message, “Before leaving for Japan. Taken with Hyuna, who is like a sibling to me. Lots of trouble~~^^.” The picture shows the manager and Hyuna making adorable poses. But, the manager’s sharp features and thick eyebrows have caught the attention of netizens.
After seeing the photo, netizens wrote, “The manager can be a celebrity too,” “Very handsome,” “Doesn’t it seem like he’s going to debut?” and “The manager is so good looking.”
MC Kim Yong Man and Jung Hyun Don had asked, “What would you like as gifts for the upcoming Christmas holiday?“ HyunA answered, “All five of us want boyfriends. Or is that just me? Since we’re adults next year, we want boyfriends who would look only at us.”
Hilariously, fellow member Sohyun trilled, ”Gayoon-unni wants a beef set for Christmas.”
Without skipping a beat, the MCs questioned, “Does that mean she has a boyfriend at the moment then?,” leading Shinsadong Tiger to further add, “Oh, is it that guy you met before?”
Gayoon displayed a shocked expression at the turn of questions.
On June 6th, Jiyoon tweeted, “I want to be a ‘Double Yoon’ couple before we go to Japan ♥”
Although they don’t look like they’re wearing matching shirts at first, the two turned around to show that they were indeed wearing couple tees.
4minute is heading off to Japan for the K-Pop charity concert, “Fighting Japan“, in Osaka. What do you think of the couple Tee's that Jiyoon & Gayoon are wearing?.. Cute? Indeed!^^
During an episode of SBS’s “It’s Alright, Daddy’s Daughter”, scheduled to be broadcast on December 7th, Ji Hyun will have a scene where she is debating over which stud to choose as her boyfriend. Her choices? A nice selection of Hyuk Gi (Choi Jin Hyuk), Wook Gi (Dong Hae), Yeon Doo (Kang Min Hyuk), and Dong Bo (Park Jung Geun).
Nam Ji Hyun recently made her debut appearance on the show as Shin Seon Hae, a law student, a younger sister of Shin Seon Do (Park Sang Hoon), and also a friend of Hyuk Gi. Ever since her first appearance, Ji Hyun has caught the interest of viewers with her 4-dimensional lovable charms, and they believe she has the potential to be dubbed another successful ‘Acting Idol’.
She first attempted to help the girls differentiate the pronunciation of the ‘f’ and ‘p’ sounds, and they were able to butter up their English and say “4minute” with the perfect American accent. Jiyoon then said “f(x)” and all the girls started dancing to “LA chA TA“.
After a while, G.NA finally gave up on the easy-going idols, declaring that they were simply too hard to teach.
Representatives of KOFICE revealed on October 6th, “4minute and B2ST were chosen to receive the Asia Influential Artist award.”
The award is given to artists that garnered the most attention in Asia for the year. 4minute and B2ST will be making an appearance at the awards event on the 23rd along with impressive performances.
4minute contracted with Universal and set out to expand their activities all over Asia. They’ve been earning much success so far by topping various music charts and earning thousands of new fans.
B2ST began touring through the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and Japan this June while promoting “Shock” and earned the support of many. Their comeback album, “Mastermind,” has been sweeping the charts as well.
To help promote the song, Mario performed on February 12th’s episode of ’Inkigayo‘ along with 4minute‘s Gayoon. The stage was set for a beautiful performance, as Mario brought on a live orchestra to support him, and Gayoon stepped out in a sophisticated ensemble.
Unfortunately, the performance experienced a hiccup during the middle.
As the song built towards its climax, Gayoon’s voice fell flat and she missed a powerful note. Though she was a bit disheartened by the mistake, Gayoon rallied her spirits and strove to finish the rest of the song with Mario.
Immediately after the performance, fans left comments on SNS services on how Gayoon looked a little ill, and expressed sympathy for the young star.
4minute member Hyuna has garnered attention by posting a cute photo she took with another group member, Sohyun.
Hyuna posted this photo with the caption, “Interview interview interview, when they’re finished, music program music program! Puffy faces… I wonder if they’ll come back to normal around evening?”
In the photo, Hyuna produced cuteness by blowing air into her cheeks, and the two opened their eyes roundly and proved they were worthy of the ‘Goddess of Selca’ title with their various poses.
Upon seeing this, netizens reacted with comments like, “Can’t tell who’s the older and younger one!”, “How can they both be so pretty”, and “Cute! Black hair completely suits Hyuna”.
On August 23rd, HyunA tweeted, “In the middle of concert practice. It’s not pretty, but it’s to commemorate the finding of my Twitter password.”
In the picture, HyunA is seen hugging a oversized, pink bunny doll while looking into the camera without any make-up. Fans raved over this display of HyunA’s softer side, saying, “HyunA possesses a variety of charms. She’s really pretty” and “Is this really the sexy HyunA we see on stage?”
Because SECRET member Song Ji Eun is temporarily withdrawing from the show, Jiyoon will be acting as her replacement. PD Kwon Jae Young explained her leave with, “SECRET has Japanese promotions scheduled for July so she was set to leave the show from the start. She will be returning around September once her Japanese promotions are finished.”
The PD then went to explain why the program chose 4minute’s Jiyoon, ”Jun Jiyoon gives the feel of a hidden gem in 4minute.” Because the program aims to dispel the stereotypes surrounding idol singers, the PD felt that Jiyoon was the perfect match as a new addition.
Jiyoon will begin filming for the show on June 27th.
Cube Entertainment announced on June 27th, “On August 24th, 4minute will release a Japanese version of “Heart 2 Heart” and jump straight into Japanese promotions for it."
They continued, “In the beginning of July, HyunA will start promoting her solo album. She will be working on both things at once.”
They will look to spread their hits in Japan this summer.
