With the introduction of the Eunjung - Lee Jang Woo and Park So Hyun - Kim Won Joon couples,MBC’s “We Got Married” has officially begun its cycle of promotions for its third season!

Unlike season two, which focused on the love story of couples in their 20s, season three aims to draw upon stories of a variety of different age groups.

Kim Won Joon and Park So Hyun, who have been friends for 18 long years, will be taking the viewers with them step-by-step as they transition from friendship to romance in a reality show format.

In the history of the show, the couple has been named the most brave couple with “absolutely zero fakeness involved.”

The second couple is none other than Lee Jang Woo and Eunjung. Lee Jang Woo, who’s currently starring in “Smile, Donghae,” shared his hopes of showing a more honest side to himself.

He’s also known for having a stronger male fanbase, which many think will be an interesting element to their relationship. Right from the start, he reportedly expressed his masculine charms by being the leader of the relationship.

4minute's interview with ELLE girl - Hyunah


Kim Hyunah

"What can I say. I'm an adult. It doesn't make sense." When we asked about her thoughts on being a university student, she complained with aegyo [by acting cute]. "I thought that I'd be an average under-age gir. In my surroundings, I heard a lot that even if I become an adult, things will remain the same, and it really is the case. I only think that I'll be responsible for whatever I do from now on." The freshman Hyunah saw her professors and greeted each of her friends and seniors at her university. It is still awkward but she wants to get the closest to them, bring down any barrier between them. It seems that she's becoming integrated carefully and that she will become friends with some people. Her speaking voice is high-pitched and filled with aegyo. She is chatty and has many facial expressions and gestures. The staff members giggle at Hyunah's cute aegyo and her body gags.

However, when the shooting starts the 'Girl Hyunah' goes away and the 'Charisma Hyunah' pluckily stares at the camera. 4minute is known for their powerful performances and Hyunah's dance abilities stand out on stage as well. What is the source of the confidence overflowing from her small body? "Honestly, I don't have confidence in my looks. But when I stand on stage I'm perfectionistic. And when I act confidently, people look at me and get the feeling, 'who is she to act so confidently?'. Also, lately, there are many groups with good abilities. I think that the appearance of someone who is working hard is more appealing."Even if she speaks shyly and with modesty, her instinct of someone born to be a star stood out through her solo activities. However, when we asked her if she ever missed it, she shook her head. "On stage, we always have eye contacts with the other teammates. It's not that I feel anxious because the members aren't there, I don't. But the tension that we share as 5, I have to bear it on my own. I think I was distressed a lot. When I monitor my solo activities, I feel a little sad. I guess it's just something I will learn more about as I go on?"

Hyunah and her various feelings and charms; it is difficult to rank the things she likes. She listens to music accordingly to her mood, she enjoys various fashion styles. Her hobby is shopping. She likes to walk on the streets and eat food at the same time. She'd rather not die and conceal her face. The friends she go out with are always the members, when they're not working they always go out together; their relationship is tight like this. Among the things Hyunah likes, the thing we were the most curious about is definitely her ideal type. She didn't reveal that she liked short guys to gain the precious attention of male fans. "It's because my father is small. But lately, my ideal type changed a little. It's a person who will understand me a lot, regardless his height. I'd like a big-hearted man who will handle all my complaints."

Even though she doesn't have a boyfriend, Hyunah lives her life, enjoying the 365 days of the year. Sometimes when she feels down for a moment, the other members cheer her up and soon she loosens up. When was the happiest time with 4minute? "When we reached our 100-day anniversary? When we received an award? I think that every day is special and wonderful. Every day, 'today' happens once." Instead of asserting that she attracted the spotlight on her, she let us know what was important to her and we understand her desire to do everything. Hyunah who will accomplish herself with the todays accumulated; we are curious about how she will look like in the future. "I tried to picture it many times. In the end, I think that my future will ensue from my actions. More than anything, I hope that I will have a lot of people in my entourage. It's not that I want to be surrounded just for the sake of it, I hope that a lot of people will sincerely cherish me. I have to do well for that to happen!"

4minute's interview with ELLE girl - Sohyun


Kwon Sohyun

The 18-year-old 4minute's maknae, Sohyun. We thought that she would definitely be the type to do aegyo because of her big eyes in her round face. Along with a low voice, Sohyun is a considerate girl who listens closely to everything someone says to her. "Hello, yesterday we came back from Japan late so I didn't sleep much." They've carried out activities with singles and albums and dropped their first full-length album in Japan; she didn't forget to tell that she was proud about it. Her apparently bloated face was pitiable, we asked her if it wasn't difficult to attend TV shows being young as she is. Even though there aren't times she feels lonely because she spends most of her time in company with the members, Sohyun thinks a lot about this or that. "This year, we'll already hit our 2-year anniversary but we didn't release many albums. I don't know how time will pass as we run promotions with one album after a long time."

When asked if there's one thing 4minute thinks it has changed, between their debut date and now, she said 'familiarity'. "The truth is that we were awkward with the camera at first. It was interesting but unfamiliar at the same time. However, while filming for a reality program, 4minute's Mr. Teacher, we got a lot more familiar with the camera. At first, we didn't know how to look in front of it and we also felt uncomfortable but we gradually became accustomed to it. Having a camera only for me feels great too somehow." Because 4minute has established itself as a group with a a sexy and strong image, she felt sorry that it was difficult to become closer to the people they meet on TV shows. "There are a lot of people who were surprised because of my baby-like facial expressions and my easygoing chatting as they only saw me standing on stage." Still, she talked about her closeness with the f(x) or the KARA members whom with she shares the same age and that she's used to meeting on her own.

Sohyun's face lightened, whereas she kept looking serious and relaxed throughout the interview. "Ah! I bought the new iPad few days ago, I'm really excited. I organize my albums and I listen to music… Since i was young, rather than food or shopping, I liked technology devices more so whenever the new products come out, I pestered my mother and went to change my phone." This Sohyun somehow looks friendly on Twitter too. "I'm still young and I've felt that I lacked experience many times; while singing, I had difficulties. During these times, the thing I liked to do the most lately is watching Twitter. I get to know the thoughts of many people that I don't know. What they do in their everyday life, their love affairs, where they are going, this kind of things. Once in a while, I also post something and upload a picture, and the responses the people send are funny." When time passes and that her personal thoughts and experience become more well-founded, we wonder about the song Sohyun will make us listen to. To conclude the interview, we asked her about what she wanted to achieve in 2011. "When we were working on the album, I heard that we improved our singing skills a lot so I was happy about it. There have been times we were hurt during our promotion activities in Japan, it wasn't serious. But since the members were hurt, to get better, we want to show our Korean fans an amazing image of the 5 members from our overseas activities, an image that we couldn't fully show them before and, this, all by ourselves." We listened to Sohyun's impressive resolution to look forward to 4minute's comeback performances even more.

MBLAQ’s Lee Joon & T-ara’s Jiyeon attend “Gnomeo & Juliet” press conference

On April 4th, MBLAQ’s Lee Joon and T-ara’s Jiyeon attended the press conference for their 3-Danimated film, “Gnomeo and Juliet“, where they shared their thoughts on voice-acting for the very first time.

Lee Joon began, “This is my first time voice-acting, and I’m already excited about meeting the children who will come to watch the movie.” Jiyeon stated, “This was also my first time, so I was very nervous. It was difficult but also very fun, and I think it’s such a charismatic profession.”

With a laugh, the two added, “Our members made a bigger deal out of it than we did!”

When asked about the relationship of their characters in the movie, they replied, “Our characters are of lovers, but even while we began voice-acting for them, we never met each other once.”

Posing at the VIP premiere

Jiyeon continued, “There were a lot of awkward and embarrassing lines, and having to do them alone was especially awkward. I’m sure you’ll see it when you watch the movie, but Juliet always calls out for Gnomeo. My personality isn’t of the sweet or girly type, so it really difficult for me. When Gnomeo said ‘Let’s live together’, everything just got really awkward for me and I couldn’t reply (laughter).”

On skinship, Lee Joon added, “I remember our kiss scene the most. Gnomeo’s face gets stuck in the bars so they don’t actually get to kiss. Even though it was both our first times, Jiyeon-ssi was so good that I became shy. We both took two days to record, but I would finish early in the morning.”

The two concluded, “The movie is fun, as it’s directed by the director of ‘Shrek‘. If there’s anything different from the original story, it’s that this movie has a happy ending, and it’s also touching.”

The movie will hit Korean theaters on April 14th!

Meanwhile, Jiyeon also took the time to comment briefly on fellow member Eunjung’s recent casting inMBC’s “We Got Married“.

She began, “When I first heard that she’d be appearing in ‘We Got Married’, I was so shocked, but I think it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

When reporters began calling Eunjung’s new husband her ‘brother-in-law’, Jiyeon burst out in laughter and added, “I haven’t met her husband, Lee Jang Woo-ssi, yet so I’m really anticipating what he’s like. I first heard about it through internet reports, so I tried to search up some basic information.”
