Though arguably overshadowed at the time of 4minute’s debut as a musical group, leader Jihyun has been catching the widespread attention of fans and netizens for her acting debut and natural beauty. In fact, the latter subject became a hot topic on the Lunar New Year’s special on MBC’s Flower Bouquet, as Jihyun was complimented for her internet fame as the “natural beauty terminator.”

Amid the praises however, B2ST’s Yoseob boldly stated the opposite, telling Jihyun that she actually looked better with make-up. Before anyone gets up in arms about the insulting implications of his remarks, Yoseob was likely just bantering with his labelmate. However, as Jihyun became flustered and began to protest, HyunA defended her band member’s looks, confidently asserting that Jihyun was indeed a natural beauty.

Later in the recording, Jihyun also received a surprise phone call from her mother. During the call, the show MC asked, “Among the members of 4minute, what position would you rank your daughter in terms of looks?” Jihyun’s mother surprised the audience by replying, “She’s at second place,” explaining that she placed maknae Sohyun first. HyunA then retorted, “You didn’t look properly then.”

Personally, I find Jihyun to be the most gorgeous member of 4minute with or without makeup. What do you think?
