If you remember their contract renewal depends on the success of this mini... Maybe cube will cash out with a troublemaker comeback!

I think with Hate is the first time I like a kpop song less the more I listen to it. And I didn't even like it the first time...
I don't believe that much the contract renewal thing, it's probably to make people feel bad.
The girls deserved a better title track.

I never paid attention how much they sell on the first day of release, but their physical sells have always been rather weak? Well, it's usually the norm for girl groups to do good digitally and bad physicall. I think Crazy was around 20k?

fucking Cube, it's like they're trying to bury 4minute or sth.

god help them if they do the same thing to Beast, they may as well just announce they want to flush their flagship groups down the toilet because the management is too lazy to promote them.

they haven't done a good job with managing beast, but they won't bury them bc half their income comes from them. without beast, cube are done.

WELP but at least this means they can switch to a better label.
The mini is decent, HATE shouldn't have been a lead. I like it more now without the video but it was a bad move for a lead single in January like...it's such a bad move as is the embarrassing faux hip hop shtick.

Yeah, that would be true if Cube was willing to let go of their cash cow. I really doubt Hyuna will leave Cube to head out with 4 Minute. It's more likely she'll stay given the fact that they load her schedule, but also give her a lot of freedom.

I only heard the song two times tbh. I don't hate it, but I don't really like it. :| It's a disappointment, mainly because "Crazy" was what made me start to listen to them, so I was full of expectations. Maybe it will grow on me. (:

Also, I don't think they will let Hyuna go tbh. Unless she wanted to, but I'm also not seeing that happening.

it's a shame bc the rest of the mini is solid, some of their best b-sides. i would buy it but hate sucks so.

also it's only first day, though not even reaching 1k doesn't look good.

I hope the group will stick together, whether in Cube or in another company... I'm not ready to see another of my first kpop groups disappear so soon after Kara :(
I still haven't warmed up to Hate. In fact, I think I'm disliking the chorus more and more, which is a shame since the verses are awesome. I hope someone will make a remix of Hate that could somehow save it.

Maybe they'll stop with this fake hip hop stuff now that hate flopped that's the only thing about this

If Hyuna wasn't in 4 Minute I would believe they could all leave.

I think it's clear that their change in image and target audience hasn't been well received by Korea. This is their fourth single in a row that looks like it's going to stay under a million in digital sales and that's pretty painful considering they were on a ROLL until whatcha doing today.

It's cool to see girl groups try to look out more for their female fans, or just ignore the male fandom but it's pretty clear that 4 minute's taken a huge hit from doing this. Ah well, it's been a good run, they had a ton of nice hits, and Crazy will always be the jam as far as I'm concerned.

wasn't Crazy big in China/internationally in general, though? It's got 47 million views on youtube compared to 28 million for "what's your name" which was a huge Korean, and it's hard to know exactly where they are making the most actual cash... I expect Cube expected the Skrillex connection to pay off.

WELP

It really sucks for them to go out on this but at least last year's mini was incredible. I don't know if cube will let HyunA leave with the others tho.

i feel bad for their fans bc cube has been doing them so dirty, theyre a mid-top-tier group but theyre promoted like theyre broke nugus

but also...520 copies first day sales sounds pretty normal tbh. pretty sure sistars even worse loll. they should do like aoa and twice and hold 30 fansigns

i checked the melon charts 2 days ago and hate was in the top80
even old songs like hot pink and me gusta tu were in the top30 iirc, i was shocked to see them flop so hard

i really enjoy the first 1:30 of hate, but the chorus completely ruined the song for me... at least someone did a decent remix of it and edited the awful chorus out

Top 80?? I thought they were like 30-40 something (at least last time I checked). If they're top 80 now that's a certified flop tbh.

It seems like people like the slow boring part of hate, I personally think the chorus is the best part of hate.

I think the reason people like red light is the transition is less harsh, and the one for HATE has a pretty good build, but the vocal detract from it a bit, so it makes the chorus feel incredibly sudden and out of place.

I've been listening to the jnstrumental a lot. The vocals drown out some of what's happening and make the transition less clear, it's surprisingly good without them.

UGH this is so frustrating because I love this album! IDK why everyone hates it, its so upbeat except for No Love.

Only 520 copies? That's damn tragic. I know they've never been great at album sales but not even selling 1k is just horrible. And digitally they're kinda flopping too so...
I feel bad for them tbh :/

The desperation in this post. Why isn't anyone talking about their album hitting the top ten on iTunes worldwide? Or number one in China? Number 3 in Hong Kong? It's obvious this album was catered to an international audience as Korea isn't accepting it but everywhere else in the world is!

And Hyuna would never leave 4minute. Anyone thinking the group would split in that way knows absolutely nothing about 4minute. What a disgusting post this is!

I think the only song to be successful with this kind of structure was Hyosung's Goodnight Kiss. It sucks if they do end up not ruining but maybe then they'll quit this garbage concept they cant even pull off.
