On February 7th, the online newspaper CNNGo covered the Billboard Japan Music Awards 2010 that took place on the 6th and eventually introduced 4minute, who won the "K-Pop New Artist of the Year" award.

Among the pictures of the winners of the night, CNNGo only uploaded 4minute's shot and reserved them few detailed paragraphs in their article.

CNNGo reported "The five-piece showed exactly why South Korean acts are stealing a march on their Japanese counterparts with tightly choreographed performances of 'First' and 'Muzik', with the hall's speaker system booming." Their article also says that the fans screamed the girls' names as they were performing on stage.

The American website Billboard Biz, that also covered the event, also introduced 4minute and even linked to their 'FIRST' MV on Youtube.

A 4minute's representative revealed "On the day of the event, the American Billboard's editorial director Bill Werde requested a big applause from the audience after 4minute's performance and said "It's sad that a group like this is only acknowledged in Asia." He highly praised the group and promised he would publish an article that only focuses on 4minute on billboard.com."

4minute are said to prepare their advancement into the American market.

YES

But if someone like Bill Werde thinks they are talented and will promote them, they might have a chance.

Tbh.. I was smiling at this at first too but then... maybe they are the most fitting girlband for the US out of all you know? They don't seem to fit into the korean market somehow and I'm not sure about Japan either. Maybe the US is the key.

Really? They have one of the worst accented English in kpop. That will never fly in the US.

Has there ever been a KPOP group to break into the US market and make it yet?
idk ... good luck but it'll probably be a flop move.

They're a better fit for the US than Japan. But they need to go with the Huh-style, loud, in-your-face tunes and not the solid-but-unspectacular electro tracks. (plus the English of course)

The first step to making it in America would be speaking proper English.... so until that happens I'm not even going to think about whether they have a chance.

let them do wutever they want. life is about making mistakes and finding out what works, but really before any more kpop groups go to the US they need a GOOD example of a US debut, which I think the Wonder Girls or 2NE1 could pull off. A good mix of a good producer, song, LANGUAGE SKILLS, and interest can get them running. Besides, as the US has proven, you don't even need the best of looks to be at least mildly successful.

that's not to say 4minute aren't beautiful, but I'm just not sure how well they'd do outside of Asia without previous Eastern influence already being successful.
