Cube Entertainment and European expansion

[ogfm.livejournal.com]

Recently, representative music agencies of South Korea have showed their interest in European expansion. Cube Entertainment (4minute,etc) revealed that they had the opportunity for an expansion before, but unfortunately missed it.

The main character in Cube's European expansion is 4minute. They debuted in June 2009 with 'Hot Issue' and a follow-up song right after, called 'Muzik'. Cube explained that their Youtube videos had received so much love from Europe. 4minute fans said that 'Muzik' is their best song. It's an electronic dance song by Shinsadong Tiger and songs with the electronic genre are very popular in Europe. Because of the popularity, they received an offer of a 'Club Tour of 5 Main European Countries'.

A representative from Cube Entertainment showed their disappointment, "It was a club tour in England, France, Italy, Spain, etc. We couldn't do it back then." The reason that they had to give up on the tour is because one of their members is a minor that couldn't enter the club. They revealed, "We unfortunately gave up on the club tour because one of the members (Kwon Sohyun, 1994) is a minor that can't enter the club."

Cube Entertainment could achieve the opportunity again this year. 4minute member Hyunah's solo song 'Bubble Pop' has been chosen as 'Song of the Day' on 'popjustice.com', an UK professional pop site. And BEAST's song 'Fiction' has reached no. 63 on a German music site. They also received an opportunity to hold a 'Cube Family Concert' on 19th November in London (4minute, G.NA, etc) and become a hot news in Europe.

Good idea. Europeans don't care if the English is shoddy -- see countless Romanian euro dance hits.

wrong.
in some countries (germany, austria) you are allowed to go to a club until midnight. if you have your parents permission and someone who looks after you you can even stay there until 4am. she could even get drinks there lol so wheres the problem?

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

but tbh i dont think a clubtour is the right thing for 4minute here
clubtours arent very popular here, at least for A/B artists

Interesting

[jela-ow.livejournal.com]

[vanny92.livejournal.com]

I've always thought that Europe is more open towards asian music than U.S. Pominute fighting!!

First thing Jiyoon and Gayoon have incredible legs

Secondly why do I feel like i'm watching JAV , why is shit blurred out?

Thirdly did they make Sohyun get plastic surgery?

[aniloratka.livejournal.com]

First thing Jiyoon and Gayoon have incredible legs
ofc 4minute have the best legs in kpop

I need to know when this London concert is! D: One day it's the 19th, next day it's the 11th and now the 19th again! I need to know if I can afford to go and that involves needing time ;A; Please hurry up Cube! I love you so much!

This would have been cool but at the same time, I don't really think it was really their thing back then.

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

Well I know they'll be in Australia on the 12th
I think they're still spitballing dates but I don't like to be left hanging :(

[michiyo-mori.livejournal.com]

I live in Eastern Canada so I've really gotta start planning D: But they'll never come near my home. Nobody touches this side of Canada. :< And I have friends and extended family near and in London so I'm hoping to work something out. 4Minute is my favourite girl group, BEAST is my favourite boy group and Gina is my favourite solo artist so this is like a dream concert. Funny part is, it's mostly a coincidence that they are all in the same company.

[mariko-kawaii.livejournal.com]

it was always 19th. the 11 thing was a translation error.
but yeah i'm waiting for a definitive and irrevocable announcement too before booking my flight

[aniloratka.livejournal.com]

why this pic is so blury? o_O
I want European tour !
I know London is closer that Seoul, but Berlin would be so much better for me XD

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

but Berlin would be so much better for me
lets say munich and i agree with you

[aniloratka.livejournal.com]

Sorry I can't, too far :P

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

where are you from?

[aniloratka.livejournal.com]

I'm from Poland, but I have like 2h by train to Berlin

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

okay that makes sense

[minakuu.livejournal.com]

that would be beautiful ):

[foolish.livejournal.com]

Who attacked the picture with the blur tool? :/

If they made more songs that were great like Muzik was, I'd probably like them a lot more.

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

Omg, was G.NA always that skinny?
She looks ill there!

I want a CUBE concert in London already. Even though I'd purely be going for BEAST.

[jibegajima.livejournal.com]

4minute's never looked better in a photograph.

[muffincrash.livejournal.com]

May I just ask what in the world that pciture is

[o-o-mai-o-o.livejournal.com]

what is with that picture. lol

[obeytheempress.livejournal.com]

Muzik really is their best song. I would like to see CUBE and other k-pop idols doing some club shows in Europe and the U.S. I think that's one really smart move JYP made with the Wonder Girls.

[song-jihyuk.livejournal.com]

good luck girls.

[lee-chikin.livejournal.com]

I came to like Muzik because of Key, Shindong, Mir and Joon.



Just an excuse to post dancing Key. It's always relevant.

[weerainbow.livejournal.com]

lol ^^
That was one fabulous performance actually, I downloaded the video and I still go back and replay it every so often for the lulz and the awesome that is Key in it!

[rinareechan.livejournal.com]

I wish they'd confirm the date already so I can buy cheap train tickets and prepare to fight for concert tickets!
