Hot Issue - Took Japan and Asia by storm
I'm honored that we received the 2010 Billboard Japan New Artist Award, that we ran an overseas tour and did much more. There have been a lot of times when I was touched by our foreign fans. When they see us coughing, they buy us medicine, they pay attention and give feedback to every of our appearances in concerts, they even learn the Korean lyrics and fanchants so they can sing along, which I find heartwarming. During my 3rd year in elementary school, as I was standing in front of a traffic light, I suddenly thought "I want to dance and sing"; I picked this path even though it never seemed it could give me a secure future. I think it's because I liked and was excited about what I was learning day by day that I was able to make it through the trainee days and enjoy that period. Even now, it's still the same. It's good and exciting to gain experience abroad and learn stuff. As for confidence, I think that, as you take your time and strive hard, it will come as big as your efforts.

Diamond - A treasure I will never trade
If someone asks me "In your dorms, what is the treasure that you would never trade, even for a diamond?", I will answer without any hesitation "Take anything from me but the members". I'm curious as for how long we will have the chance to provide great performances, as for how far we will be able to go under the name of 4minute. I wish I already knew about it but I'm pretty sure we will go far as five members. You will be able to see how stronger 4minute has got in our full-length album scheduled to be released in the beginning of April. Not only the members, but the composers, the lyricists, the choreographers, the stylists and even the company's staff have been spending sleepless nights and struggling. Our style, our choreography, everything from us has got stronger.

For Muzik - The trainee days that made me doubt about my future
I dreamt about acting when I joined the idol group Orange while I was attending elementary school. At that time, the results we achieved weren't great and I once ditched my dreams of becoming a singer. However, I saw that a senior in my school made her debut and I felt an inferiority complex. I fully realized what I really wanted to do. When I joined 4minute's agency, CUBE Entertainment, I wasn't a trainee but in the "in preparations" lot. For 3 months, I had to go through tests : I had to keep improving if I didn't want to leave the company. Anyone gets nervous and anxious if they start to think about their uncertain future. Instead of a distant future, I focused on a closer one that was to become a trainee. Up until now, I'm used to concentrating on the time that's just ahead of me. It's more important to me to endure the present rather than worry about a future that is uncertain. I'm really satisfied with the present as I'm learning how to prevent myself from becoming lazy.

Hot Issue - When we become the topic of discussions
When we try to capture the public's attention, we unintentionally become the object of gossips as well as the object of malicious comments. When it comes to malicious comments, I think that the members modestly accept the criticisms whatever they are then to desire to show a better image. There were also times that we were hurt despite our hardened hearts. In particular, we earned the hurtful nickname "deudminit" in reference to how some people think little of our music. Compared to other girl groups, we deliver boyish and powerful performances that don't necessarily abide by the general standards. I wish that people could apprehend our color through our passionate gestures and emphatic expressions that inflame the stage. Since our debut, our team slogan has been "Rather than the Best, the Only". In order to make 4minute's unique charms recognized, we want to perform a lot and bring the best of us. That's what all the members think. We have the mindset to think about the opportunity that's given to us, instead of caring about how big the stage is. This is with such attitude that we want to become a group that always impressively showcases extraordinary content such as songs, style, performances.

‘CECI’ magazine holds an in-depth interview with 4minute

The sexy ladies of 4minute recently took part in a photoshoot with “CECI” magazine from the set of their upcoming music video! The members also shared some deep thoughts on their careers and on each other.

Check it out below!

Jun Ji Yoon: “When you receive attention from the public, it’s inevitable that there are times when you become the center of gossip and hate. In the face of such hate, our members decided to take it all in with modesty, and show our improvements in return.

Still, we were quite hurt; comments that judged our musical qualities as ‘poor’ drove daggers into our hearts. Unlike other girl groups, we have a boyish, powerful charm that sets us apart, and we want people to feel that passion on stage.

Ever since our debut, our team mantra has been: ‘Not the best, but the only.’ We will stand on stage with every ounce of strength we have in order for our talents to be acknowledged. All of us are of the attitude that it’s not the size of the stage that matters, but the opportunity itself. We hope to become a team that is able to pull off different songs, styles, and performances with determination.”

Kim HyunA: “It’s definitely an honor that we received a ‘New Artist’ award at the ‘2010 Billboard Japan Awards’, in addition to having so many opportunities to tour overseas. There are so many times where I’m touched because of the heartwarming moments from our international fans; a fan would give me medicine when I’m seen coughing, or they would memorize our lyrics and support chants in Korean and follow along with us as we perform.

I’m pursuing this career path because I randomly thought that I wanted to ‘dance and sing’ when I was standing before a stoplight during my third year of elementary school, but there was never one moment where I felt secure.

I think it’s because every new day presented a new opportunity to learn that I was able to enjoy my long years of training. It’s the same now, because with each visit overseas, we gain experience and learn new things.

To me, the only way you can be absolutely sure of anything is to put in the time and effort. Assurance is measured by the time and effort you put into something.”

Heo Gayoon: “If someone were to ask me to give up something in my dorm in exchange for a diamond, without hesitation, I’d respond, ‘You can take everything except my members.’ I’m curious as to how far, how long, and what kind of stages we’ll create under the name of ‘4minute’.

I want to find out for ourselves, but I know that I have the confidence to go far and long if it’s with the five of us. With our comeback album in April, you’ll be able to see just how much stronger we’ve become.

Not only the members, but the composers, writers, choreographers, stylists, and many others are all giving up countless nights in order to achieve a stronger image in style, choreography, and our music.”

Kwon Sohyun: “I dreamt of becoming an actress before I joined the idol group ‘Orange‘ when I was in elementary school. We didn’t achieve great results at the time, so I gave up my dream of becoming a singer.

I saw a senior at my school pursue her dreams of becoming a singer and debut in the industry, which made me feel an inferiority complex. It was at that moment that I realized what I truly wanted to do.

I was not a trainee when I first joined Cube Entertainment; I was at a ‘preparation level’ where I had to pass skills tests every three months in order to remain with the company. It’s easy for anyone to feel nervous with such an opaque future ahead of them, so I took small steps and focused on one goal at a time. My initial goal was to become a trainee and I worked with full force towards that.

That habit has remained with me even now because I still focus on one day at a time. To me, it’s more important to overcome and withstand the present as opposed to worrying over a future you’ll never know.

I’m satisfied with the present, and my efforts in learning how to prevent myself from being idle.”
