According to some sources in the industry, the five-membered group 4minute is to disband after seven years of activity.

One industry associate claims that each member has a different idea of their future path whether it be singing or acting, and after several months of discussion, they have decided that it was difficult to keep the group togehter.

LMAO @ everyone who was like "hyuna wouldn't sign to cube by herself, she loves the members too much to let that happen to 4minute"
Anyways, seems like BEG and Ladies' Code will be the only GGs to keep me around (and maybe bestie & oh my girl)
