[Interview] 4Minute, �We hope to have a win-win situation with 2NE1″

Right now is said to be the war of the girlgroups in the Kpop zone, with so many girlgroups choosing to comeback into the Kpop scene this summer. And of them is newcomer girlgroup 4Minute, who has received much attention from the media and music fans.

Only known as the �HyunA�s group� as before, this group is now more known to fans as 4Minute with great performance capabilities.

And they talked about their �rival� group 2NE1 and hoping to be in a win-win situation with them in a recent interview.

It was known that the girls trained up to 2-3 hours 1-2 months before their debut as artistes under Playcube Entertainment. And there were many times when youngest member So Hyun had to attend school without getting any sleep.

So Hyun said, �Even though it is tough juggling school and training, but with the thought of fulfiling my dreams, all the hardship just went away. Right now I can really endure it.�

The truth is that SoHyun used to promote as group Orange, but after Orange disbanded, she thought that it is a shame to stop the career altogether and began training again.

JiYoon and So Yoon had wanted to be a singer since they were young. JiYoon also talked about how her friends and family have encouraged her to try this path to be a singer.

While for HyunA, she left the group WonderGirls 2 years again after which the group made big success with the song �Tell Me�. And she revealed that looking at them being successful on TV, she had wanted to perform on stage again too.

She said, �I�m more excited than anyone when WonderGirls won #1 with �Tell Me�. I thought it would be great if I�m on stage with them together and I was regretful of it too. But I�m really happy to be able to fulfil my dreams through debuting with 4Minute again.�

There has been much comparison after 4Minute�s debut with YG Entertainment�s 2NE1. The 2 groups debuted within a similar time frame, and they were also both very and known for their special characteristics (�Female Big Bang� and �HyunA�s group�) even before debut.

4Minute said, �It is our honour to be compared with our seniors 2NE1, and it is a happy thing too. It will be good if 4Minute and 2NE1 can have good effect on each other and develope well together.�

Awwwww. i'm liking how they said this. I can imagine all 2ne1 & 4minute fans can all be happy for these 2 groups.
I'm looking forward for a joint stage for this two groups

[HQ] 090628 4minutes - Hot Issue

love it

oh~ thanks all for sharing ~
so good~ really pretty
really love all outfit of them

[fielding]

great stage and their dancing seemed a lot more organized than before? not sure if it's the wide open space or the camera working top angles but it was good

and I really feel they were confident too and I also felt all the members were shining out during their parts whether big or small, so that's awesome

AND I'M SOOO GLAD those stupid pop up images were not there LOL

[1234]

woahhh, this time i like their performance and the split at the end ouchhh!! Doest it hurt?
Good girls wishing you luck in your radio guesting.
Girls when will be that one?
4minute goodluck
Inkayo was the best audio, stage and video.

just to share creit to asiafanatics

[ChrisDayo]

Just watched the last two perfs!

090627 Perf:

Ahaha oookay them random pics were kinda annoying.
I was expecting them cuz I read the comments, but not to that degree.
Still I like the perf and I wish JiYoon didn't tone it down so much.
I too like her exaggerated movements.

062809 Perf:

Def a good perf I really like the outfits too.
Esp leader's she looked pretty hot. XD
Thier voices were amazing as well.
I can go to sleep happy now ahahahaa

Oh Hyuna in the Mv reminded me of sumthing. I made a lil graphic out of it.
I figured it'd be more appreciated here XD

[dothat36]

^ LOL!

I'm not even exaggerating when I say this performance was AMAZING!!!
Seriously blown away by it.. The confidence, charisma, everything just looked
perfect.. Our Leader and Gayoon shined a LOT... I'm sooo pleased...What I like
is the fact that they seem really at ease with their concept.. Does not seem
forced, they just fit it well. It's really hard to carry such a vibrant image, I think
they are succeeding.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!


Thank you for sharing the bigger version of the pic...It's now my screensaver! hahaha

OMG@@ NUMBER 5 on MOBILE RANKINGS!!! hahahaha.... glad

Interview with 4minute about debut and Hyunah's past

Translations: chungalung@4-minute - http://www.4-minute.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=639

All : Hello! 1, 2, 3, we are 4minute. It's nice to meet you~
Interviewer : It's nice to meet you.
Interviewer : So, your team's name is 4minute. I think it means 4 minutes. What is the meaning of the name?
Jihyun: It means that we can capture the hearts of people in 4 minutes with our charms. It also means that at four minutes, we will try to show our best appearances.

Interviewer : Because you're a new group, we don't really know much about all of you. Can you please tell us a little about yourselves?
Jihyun : 20 years old. I'm the leader, Jihyun Nam.
Hyunah : It's nice to see you. It's been a long time. I'm the force and rapper of 4minute, Hyunah.
Jiyoon : Hello~ I'm the charisma of 4minute. 20 years old. I'm Jiyoon.
Gayoon : Hello. With a charming voice, I am the main vocals of 4minute. I'm Gayoon Heo.
Sohyun : Hello, I am the cute one in 4minute. 16 years old. Sohyun Kwon.

Interviewer : Hyunah, with your position in 4minute, you sparked the interests of many people. After you left Wonder Girls, they started becoming really popular. Do you regret leaving them?
Hyunah : It's not that I "regret" it. I'm very grateful that they did well. I have many good memories being with them. I'm going to bury those deep in my heart now and try to start again with 4minute.

Interviewer : Another thing that I'm curious about is-- Why did you leave WG?
Hyunah : That was when I was 15 or 16 and I was very greedy. Even though I had many health issues, I just ignored them and went on with my activities and busy schedule. So after a while, I grew weaker and I became very sick. Even though I left inconveniently, I'm very healthy right now, everyone! Please support us and watch over us.

Interviewer : There are many girl groups right now-- particularly those around your age. What forte do you have that makes you different?
Jihyun : Our particular forte is that we stand out and we're very funky. Our five colors combine and create a very cool appearance on stage and in our performances. In four minutes we can reveal our charms. I think that's our strong point.

Interviewer : If you did a 5-minute song, then we'd be in trouble.
Jihyun : Up to 4 minutes and 44 seconds is okay.

Interviewer : Then the last 20 seconds is a problem.

Interviewer : Nowadays, there are many dances that are easy for others to follow. What specific choreo points like that do you have in "Hot Issue"?
3:53-4:00 [T/N: The interviewer mumbles something but I'm not really sure what he says.]

Interviewer : So, your debut song is "Hot Issue". Please tell us more about it.
Gayoon : It has a fashionable 80's funky rhythm. We mixed in our own funky style and it became "Hot Issue".

Interviewer : You just started promoting your song but we are looking forward to many things.
HA : So that we can always capture the fans' hearts, we'll try to show a prettier, more charming, and cooler appearance. Thank you!
