4minute delays “For Muzik” release

[ningenningen.livejournal.com]

We reported a week ago about 4minute releasing their first mini-album, For Muzik on 24th August. That release date came from YesAsia.com and no Korean news sites had reported on this then. YesAsia.com usually puts their release date, a few days after it's released in Korea because of shipping and handling.

Three days ago, Korean news sites finally picked up on the news and announced the mini-album release date on 20th August. But it's the 21st of August today and still no mini-album release, what happened? Apparently, Cube Entertainment has delayed the release date by a week, and the new revised date is set at 27th August. A check over at YesAsia.com indicates a new release date as well, 3rd September.

While we wait another week, listen again to their previous unreleased track MUZIK which was used for a Sony Walkman commercial back in July.

This delay will mean a head-to-head collision with Jewelry who will be releasing their 6th album, Sophisicated album on the same day, 27th August after they postponed their original release date as well. Although no reasons were given, I assume it's because of former S.Korean president, Kim Dae Jung's passing and the subsequent cancellation of all music shows this week which disrupted their planned schedules.

I like Hot Issue but I'm still not feelin' Muzik yet so I'll be interested to hear the other songs on the album~

As far as the 4Minute vs Jewelery debate goes, I honestly don't have an opinion lol

^ Agree, but I'm kind of going to be in denial for a while if I do end up liking their songs because in my biased head them = subpar right now.

Agree with little_pixie42* >_<.

K so I have no idea about this band at ALL and I could not give a flying bowel-movement to know, but

Damnit D: When is the real date then?



I just realized Jihyun's pose is different in this pic.

I'm looking at that girl's thighs, thinking "that has to be fake". so I go back through the 4minute tag, and... it's the same in every picture. D:

[sup-homeskillet.livejournal.com]

aaaaaaand I don't really care for them, but I'll give their album a shot. The commercial was certainly catchy, I remember hearing about it a while back.

Gah
Annoying
I really wanted to listen to it
See if I could like the properly >

[kori-ya.livejournal.com]

Listening to this teaser, I'm totally looking forward to their album now.

That pic's still not pretty.

While president's death was probably a factor I bet they postponed mostly because G-Dragon's album was taking over all the charts. I bet Brave Brothers really regrets their minialbum release date.

[albeitalways.livejournal.com]

not that it matters anyway, they're going head to head with jewelry as well, so honestly, unless they come up with really amaaaaaazing stuff this time around, i doubt they'd be topping charts left and right.

[hi-junpei.livejournal.com]

...Except that G.Dragon's album isn't even doing that well. Physical sales are pretty low, actually.

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

We don't really know the physical sales as the CD version was only released on 21st due to huge amount of preoders YG got. But considering they had to postpone the release date of CD version, the album is probably selling pretty well.

OMG, WTF IS UP WITH THAT GIRL'S LEGS?! EEEEEW, EAT GIRL, FOOD IS NOT THE SEED OF SATAN! EAT!

/minor freakout


Anyhoo, "Muzik" sounds kind of fun, even if it's been auto-tuned within an inch of its life. :/ I'll wait for the whole song and video to pass any real judgement, though. Looking forward to the release!

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

I bet they are all pissed after seeing what G dragons album is doing rofl. Especially 4 minutes label. 4minute should have released their album when they released hot issue. I really dont understand that at all.

[https://users.livejournal.com/--slasher/]

you should've probably also told them that it's a better idea to release an MV *before* your debut, as opposed to after it. >___>


that being said, 4minute really needs this released soon, but as previous posters said, GD pwning the charts probably has something to do with it.

wow Gayoon's leg is really skinny D:

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

they need to hurry up & release the songs, because
1) "musik" sounds catchy, & i think i might like their other songs too.
2) they need to be done with promoting. i want AJ's group (B2ST) to debut already!

[riiche.livejournal.com]

Autotune again? It's everywhere! crying give me back DBSK wtf kpop :(

I'm looking forward to the album, though! About time, really.

[legens-legentis.livejournal.com]

I'm actually kind of excited about this album.

Although their promotion so far has been mainly annoying, I though Hot issues was catchy enough and I'm loving the Muzik preview. I kind of wish the album is all dance music.

[kokorabbit5.livejournal.com]

Not only is that girl's leg creepily skinny looking, where did the foot on that leg go? o___o

[xxsmiiles.livejournal.com]

Yeah... that leg still creeps the hell out of me. I'm pretty excited for For Muzik though.
