# 4minute Not Worried about Competition with 2NE1

[bunglur.livejournal.com]

Five members of the new female group 4minute say that they’re not worried about competing against another recently-debuted girl band 2NE1.



After performing the group’s debut song, “Hot Issue,” in a cable music program, 4minute members said that they admire 2NE1 and it’s an honor for them to stand on the same stage with them. However, they don’t think 2NE1 as their rivals, because their music styles are totally different. The leader of 4minute, Nam Ji-hyun, said that each member of the group has a very distinct personality, which is incorporated into the songs. She told the reporters to look forward to their performances.

4minute made its debut on Thursday’s “M Countdown.” Their network appearance will begin with “Music Bank” on Saturday, followed by “Show! Music Center” on MBC and “Hot Pop Songs” on SBS.

This. It's kind of annoying, except for the chorus.

i don't understand how that's different from any girlgroups. >__<
tell me why she's leader again?

[xshinebrighterx.livejournal.com]

she might be the oldest, idk.
imo she doesn't stand out in the group at all..

[onerainysunday.livejournal.com]

that's because cube is shoving hyuna down everyone's throats

[jorge-callas.livejournal.com]

Perhaps that's why she's the leader. Stabilizing influence within the band rather than someone who grabs all the attention. It'll be good for her to the leader then anyway, since she doesn't get noticed for anything else.

How big of them.O___O

"each member of the group has a very distinct personality, which is incorporated into the songs."

ugh give me a break with the each member has their individual ~charms~ and shit everyone says that about every single group out there.

and their style as of right now IS very similar to 2NE1.

THIS SFM.

2ne1, After School, blah blah blah. So tired of the comparisons. Doesn't matter who you are similar to you still don't catch my attention. Cept the one with the glasses, she seems like she might be cool. The rest not so much.

I for one am looking forward to their mini album, although I still love Hot Issue. Hopefully their stage tonight is better than the debut.

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

one song is not enough to define their ~style~ same goes to 2NE1

[dalpaengi.livejournal.com]

2ne1 seems like they have distinct personalities (or at least they are easy to tell apart)...except robot!bom
I'll look forward to seeing 4minutes ~unique~ personalities.

[sexi-panda.livejournal.com]

I dunno it always seems like a cycle of personalities. Like
cool, sweet, smart, etc... in each group.

[jorge-callas.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's so not true to what people really are like. So single-dimensional. Oh well, on another note, I guess it couldn't be like dumb, ill-tempered, revolting and cruel right? Would be interesting though.

The girl on the far left still reminds me of Kim So Eun. =X

[essyllus.livejournal.com]

I can see that.

[megasourwarhead.livejournal.com]

them's fightin' words

[marochi-x.livejournal.com]

The only one that stands out to me is Jiyoon tbh.

[carrotsandroses.livejournal.com]

THIS.

[italic.livejournal.com]

ia.

[fauxflair.livejournal.com]

\o/ i'm not giving up on them

[j0yjoong.livejournal.com]

Thank you for pointing this out.
I'm sick of seeing "they're the same as 2NE1 and After School" all over the place. Youtube, LJ, everywhere. >:I

You're right, its not rivals when the other group blows you out of the water completely. I'm sorry, but their vocals suck, that high pitched baby wtf fails, and the song in general sucks, too.

[albeitalways.livejournal.com]

LOL

so mean but oh so true.

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

PREACH

[theweathertoday.livejournal.com]

mte

[automatic-love.livejournal.com]

lol Diva, fierce and the nobodies - that pretty much nails down 4minute.

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's 4minutes cause they forgot one of the nobodies.

[bbgroove.livejournal.com]

-falls to knees-
I still don't know anyone outside of Hyuna

[its-matteo.livejournal.com]

of course they're not worried about 2NE1. they are one hit wonders who won't amount to anything.

[thereisdiscord.livejournal.com]

Though I like both groups, I would really like to hear them name a difference between Fire and Hot Issue.

[xlolitsnozomix.livejournal.com]

LMFAO AMEN♥

[rikayla.livejournal.com]

because their music styles are totally different
LOL. i disagree.

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

Wtf? So HyunA isn't even the leader of this group? Ok, whatever sympathy I had for this group because of HyunA just died.

I predict one hit wonder. Two at best.

[cookie-nut.livejournal.com]

That's pretty much what happened to me. I didn't get the debut stage giving her a solo, but I naively assumed it was because it was sort of her "comeback", but after seeing the video...yeah, this isn't a group at all. They should have just had her go solo.

[cookie-nut.livejournal.com]

Jiyoon is the only one I care about. Everyone else needs to GTFO. I can't believe they turned this group into "Hyunah + those four other people". :/

Comparisons are lame at this point; at least other girl groups are actually a group...

[bbgroove.livejournal.com]

-hugs- MTE

[automatic-love.livejournal.com]

They're Korea's Pussycat Dolls.

[cookie-nut.livejournal.com]

LMFAO. Oh my God, I think you've got a case, there.

[kanaala.livejournal.com]

sorry but to me: 2NE1, After School, 4minute = the same
i think they should be worried about the competition~ it's totally the same concept ..
