Girl group 4minute have reached 4 years old since their debut. The ladies who have entered the entertainment industry with their debut track ‘Hot Issue’ have risen to popularity, showing remarkable growth with their past activities, and is a group that we can really anticipate in the future.
On the 18th, Cube Entertainment's Ahn HyoJin, Marketing Team Leader, spoke with the press, “It’s 4minute’s 4th year anniversary. For a group with a 5 years difference, they have had many and different turning points, but 4minute have received good comments such as showing an even more mature look, and we think it is even meaningful to gain such responses”, he revealed.
In fact, 4minute released their mini album ‘Nams Is 4minute’ on April 26th, making a comeback after a year of blank period. Their title song ‘What’s Your Name?’ latched onto the highest peak of the entertainment industry for an entire month. It doesn’t stop there, the longer they are, the more they hope to create a ‘going against the flow’ phenomenon in climbing the charts.
4minute’s talents and popularity are growing at the same pace.
4minute who have tightly filled up these 4 years, have confirmed their very own colors with ‘What’s Your Name’. The representative expressed that the precious achievement came because (the song and concept) lived within the members’ personalities.
Ahn HyoJin Marketing Team Leader continued, “‘What’s Your Name’ promotions were not limited to only those in their teens, but it also managed to attract loves from people of different ages. We’re happy to hear that”, and “We feel that the hard efforts made by the members are starting to shine.”
He continued, “The members are currently expanding their capabilities. They are learning on how to compose, act, perform, playing instruments and many more. Their diligence is to an amazing extent,” he added.
On the same day, member Kwon SoHyun wrote on her twitter, “It’s 4minute’s 4th debut anniversary. Time seems to pass very quickly. Thank you for always supporting and looking after us by our sides. We will work hard in the future too”, expressing her thoughts on their 4 years anniversary. It seems that 4minute will be even more promising in the future.

‘Everything in plan is almost done!’
4minute who have recently made their comeback in May with ‘What’s Your Name’ are currently selecting a comeback date, and will once again enter into the June comeback war.
The ladies have completed recordings for several new songs as well as shootings for their new MV. The only thing left is the date of their comeback, which is currently under works. Their powerful impact on the music charts have raised nervousness of artists who are making their comeback during that period.
On the 18th afternoon, 4minute representative spoke regarding the comeback, that the date for 4minute’s comeback was earlier than expected, giving rise to a ‘Surprise Comeback’.
June comebacks include Dal Shabet , Girls Day, Roy Kim, YB, Ulala Session, Sweet Sorrow and B.A.P, whereas 2NE1, John Park, Dynamic Duo will follow in the list of July comeback.
It is expected that 4minute will not release a sexy concept this time round. Following the success of the cute and young ‘What’s Your Name’, it seems that they will be releasing a second wave of an addictive yet strong song instead.
4minute’s ‘What’s Your Name’ had charted #1 on Gaon charts for the month of May. They have concluded their promotions on June 9th on Inkigayo.

But their track record in cute makes me guess that we're at least not getting saccharine aegyo bs. I can't handle two of my favourite groups putting out bland ~oppa love me~ shite.
(I'd take a return of H2H style videos. The storyline was hilar and daft and I loved it.)
