4Minute Invades Manila

[twistedhalo04.livejournal.com]

Armed with a handful of Filipino including "Ako si..." (I am) and "Maraming Salamat" (Thank you) in perky, adorable teenage voices no less, 4Minute has finally landed in Manila.

(Reminds me of the tales about how SHINee's Minho kept asking their bus driver how he was in Filipino)

Okay technically I believe they were here yesterday and did some TV promotion recordings but today was the official press conference at Edsa Shangri-la Hotel (their official residence in Manila).The 4minute girls exuded cuteness and politeness throughout the short interaction with the press.

Highlights of the press con:

+ Hyunah sitting down the moment they got up on stage. Then she realized they had to do group introductions first and she saw her members all still standing. We heard her loudly go "Oh!" as she laughed at her mistake.
+ Girls were overly enthusiastic over every present they were given (it was a cute sight).
+ Some members of the press trying to bring up JYP and Hyunah's past (of course getting blocked by Cube Ent. reps present) and asking if she would return to JYP if given a chance or her comments on Sunmi's leave from Wonder Girls (press people never learn I shamefully concede).
+ One of said press members gave the girls these beanie babies of some sort of each member. So Hyun would not let hers go. She held it the entire time (see video and a few of the pics below).
+ They mentioned B2ST and f(x) as their close friends.
+ Ji Hyun said she was the Omma and Ji Yoon said she was the Oppa, Hyunah the daughter who always needs to be looked after, I believe Ga Yoon just mentioned she was the lead vocal and adorable So Hyun said she was the magnae.

By the way, they looked like real-life dolls. They were so adorable. I wanted to keep them in my pocket. LOL But wearing those high heels made them tower over me. Hyunah is strikingly beautiful in person

Here are some LQ-ish pictures. Sorry, my photography skills and camera settings failed me.










*I like the fact that they were very appreciative and very vocal about their appreciation




















*See So Hyun's just holding that doll





And a video of their message to Filipino fans.

Plus a random video of them I took when they were playing around with those beanie baby dolls. Ji Yoon's doll was so cute. It was wearing a hoodie and shades. As you can see So Hyun was just holding her doll.

Awwww, I love 4minute.


This kinda thing I approve of, idk why but when I hear GMA play Sorry Sorry and Fire, I get so worked up and angry and just scream at the TV, "NO! YOU don't play that."

I got really upset when Iya Villania, Maja Salvador and Anne Curtis danced to Hot Issue a few weeks ago on ASAP.

Iya's leggings were more meaningful than Hyuna's though. XD

I jumped on my editor when she told me that we were invited to the press con. XD

[paulaaaaa.livejournal.com]

Omg I saw them awhile ago!
I was taking pics of them while they were doing their autograph session, and the girls at my back were trying to get Sohyun's attention by calling her name. I went along lmao and she waved back at us!
The girls were really friendly too :3

[twistedhalo04.livejournal.com]

I know those were adorable! I loved Ji Yoon's doll.

4minute♥

I want to see them live too

[fauxflair.livejournal.com]

the girls seem really nice (: hyunah's mistake is so cute lol

+ Some members of the press trying to bring up JYP and Hyunah's past (of course getting blocked by Cube Ent. reps present) and asking if she would return to JYP if given a chance or her comments on Sunmi's leave from Wonder Girls (press people never learn I shamefully concede).

i can't believe they did that :|

[super-genin.livejournal.com]

I'd just wish everybody would move on from Hyunah's past with the WG. Good thing Cube stopped using that connection once the Hot Issue promotions were over.

[ranwae.livejournal.com]
