4minute wants to focus on developing their own style for 2012

Girl group 4minute revealed that they will work harder to find their own unique colors in the coming new year.
At a recent press conference that was held at Lotte Hotel on December 26th, 4minute stated, “In the new year, rather than focusing on appeasing and appealing to the general public, we want to try music that’s both fresh and original. It’s important to strive to be the best, however, we want to focus on establishing our own unique personality and expressing our own colors.”
The 4minute girls along with their Cube Entertainment label mates B2STG.NA, and more put on a world-tour concert this year, covering major cities such as London, Brazil (São Paulo), Tokyo, and more.
We performed on a lot of stages overseas this year,” they continued. “Although 4minute’s music seems to appeal to the masses, we think it’s more Pop than K-pop. I think because of that, our music appeals to fans in places like England and Brazil. We want to thank our fans in Japan that came out to see us as well, and we will work harder to show you better performances from here on out.”
Member HyunA who had a successful year with her single “Bubble Pop” jokingly remarked, “It was so hard to deal with the success.
Meanwhile, 4minute is working to release their new album next year.

4minute is coming back in January "Our motto is 'ONLY rather than BEST'"!


Girl group 4minute revealed their strong motivation for their promotion activities in 2012. 

During a press conference held on December 26th in Lotte Hotel, Sogongdong, Seoul, they told the reporters "We will come to the audience not as the 'best' but as the 'only'."

4minute has been busy promoting in Japan and attending various events after their 'Heart to Heart' and 'Mirror Mirror' promotion activities back in March and April. They have also taken part in their family concerts all around the world. However, their fans were disappointed that their promotion actitivies in 2011 did not last long.

Heo Gayoon revealed that their new album was currently in the making and she revealed another important point. "We have been trying hard to find our very own color since 'Hot Issue'. We wanted to pursue something else rather than gaining popularity."

Maknae Kwon Sohyun added "Our motto is 'ONLY rather than BEST'. We want to be the only rather than the best. We want to be recognized for our very own color."

4minute "We will win with our very own color rather than with popularity"!


4minute talked about the heat of K-Pop they experienced in Brazil and in the UK. 

Cube Entertainment held a press conference on December 26th in Lotte Hotel, Seoul.

4minute Sohyun asserted "I could feel, once again, that their (fans in Brazil and London) feelings for us were the same as the Korean fans'."

She also pointed out a difference, "I could see that many of them recorded our performances because they can't see us live often."

Gayoon revealed her personal thought on why foreign fans love K-Pop. "I think they're loving the dance moves that are easy to follow and the lyrics that are easy to sing along."

Hyunah, who is busy with group, solo, and subunit promotions, said with a smile, "I wanted to show people that 'I also have this kind of side', so I'm happy that I could show some different images of myself."

Gayoon revealed her ambitions, "We want to build our very own color rather than our popularity."

Meanwhile, during the press conference held on that day, Cube Entertainment artists shared their impressions about the concerts in London and Brazil and the agency's plans for 2012 were revealed.

CCM debates promoting T-ara & Davichi’s “We Were In Love” on music programs

T-ara is spending a busier year’s end than most, as they’ve hit jackpot with just their Korean promotions alone!
Following their wild success with “Cry Cry“, T-ara’s collaboration song with Davichi, “We Were In Love“, is performing strongly on the charts. So much so, in fact, that Core Contents Media is being forced to wonder whether promoting the song on music programs would be a good idea.
The song is #1 on Mnet and Bugs, with “Cry Cry” right behind it. Representatives noted, “T-ara is in the midst of heavy preparations for their year-end ceremonies, in addition to their choreography practice for ‘Lovey Dovey‘. But when we consider the success of ‘We Were In Love’ as well as the support fans have been showing the song, we feel like it’s only right to repay them by performing the song on music programs.”
Core Contents Media has already delayed the release of their “Lovey Dovey” music video to let their past releases receive ample spotlight before they move on.
Do you hope to see the girls perform “We Were In Love” live?
