Cube Entertainment artists complete a successful Hallyu concert in Malaysia
Cube Entertainment artists headed over to Malaysia on January 13th to take part in a Hallyu concert, which managed to bring in a 5,000 member audience.
Held at the Stadium Negara, the “DiGi LIVE K-POP PARTY 2011” was the first large-scale Hallyu concert ever held in Malaysia, and included over 100 different news agencies, along with VIP Malaysian figures.
Prior to the concert, DiGi held a survey asking which K-POP star fans wanted to see. Cube artists dominated the poll by taking first, and the event ended up being a small Cube Entertainment concert with 4minute, B2ST, and G.NA performing.
Cube officials commented, “This was B2ST’s second visit to Malaysia, but the first for 4minute and G.NA. They received a tremendous amount of attention from many fans, and every time they were re-located, fans gathered to greet them. We were truly able to feel the Hallyu wave.”
At the press conference held at the Hilton Hotel, press from not only Malaysia, but Thailand and the Philippines, were present as well. Cube continued, “Reporters were especially interested in G.NA, as she is awaiting her comeback next week. G.NA showed her potential as a global star by responding to all questions 100% in English on her own, which brought out a passionate response from the reporters. It was like seeing the birth of a new Asian star.”
G.NA opened for the concert, followed by 4minute, and then ending with B2ST. B2ST is currently preparing for their encore concerts next month while 4minute is preparing for their comeback album.
G.NA will be releasing her title track, “BLACK & WHITE,” on January 18th.
Amber rejoins f(x) for upcoming album
f(x)’s Amber is beginning preparations for the group’s comeback!
A broadcast representative alerted fans of her comeback through his Twitter by writing, “You guys asked me about f(x) Amber’s comeback last time, right? She has returned, and will be joining f(x)’s album, scheduled for release in February. You’ll be able to see her official activities next month!”
Amber has been away in the U.S. for six months due to an ankle injury, leading fans to speculate whether she was leaving the group. Fortunately, she made an appearance at SHINee’s first concert, which stemmed the rumors once and for all.
Her condition has been reported to be vastly improved, enough for her to join the group for their next album promotions.
4Minute to shine this year?
Making it to the top tier are powerhouses SNSD, KARA, 2ne1 and rookie group, Miss A. Through the whole of last year, they managed to capture the attention of the viewers and show that they still had what it takes to take the stage by storm. Kudos to Miss A as they made such an impact such that they've been pipped to be the next big thing.
The second tier group consists of Sistar, T-ARA, After School , B.E.G, and f(x). However they've been predicted to fall out in the race and not be able to make an impact.
Our 4Minute, unfortunately, lies in the third tier along with Rainbow, Secret and shockingly Wonder Girls. Reason being due to their lack of success over the previous year. With such a piece of article being written by the media, it really leaves quite a big question mark as to who will make or break this year. But also really leaves us wondering what 4Minute will do to finally prove their doubters wrong and move up from their prelonged status as rookies.
hyunA uploaded a silly picture from their visit in Malaysia
Along with the picture, she tweeted: "During our filming..... ♥ Malaysia annyeong!"
4Minute took this shot from a premiere shopping street in Malaysia. The girls decided to make a wacky, silly picture that would show their cute personalities. As you can see, 4Minute's leader, Nam Jihyun, who's the tallest among the them, raised her arms, resulting to HyunA posing with her knees bent, hiding half of her face showing a comic expression as she placed her face near Jihyun's underarms. It's also noticeable how Gayoon made a funny-expression too which somehow relates to Jihyun's underarm too.
From that picture, fans commented:
"What are you doing HyunA unnie ㅋ ㅋ! Why are you girls doing that .. ㅠ ㅠ "
"HyunA unnie lol. Can you get that smell?"
"Those are my idols, girls like 4Minute! Your reactions are very interesting."
Meanwhile, 4Minute has also started filming their newest TV show entitled "4Minute's Mr. Teacher" which aims to prepare the girls for their upcoming promotional activities outside South Korea. The show aims to have the girls of 4Minute learn the language and culture of different Asian countries such as Thailand, Taiwan and Japan.
For now, it has been confirmed that Nichkhun's brother will be the group's teacher for their Special Thailand episode.
