Good for them, hopefully more endorsements can bring them even more popularity leading up to their next release.

[faithgrowsold.livejournal.com]

...are they really that popular in korea?

[subpain.livejournal.com]

Hot Issue is the #1 bought song on Cyworld, even above SNSD's new song. I don't know about the official charts, though.

[pokoro.livejournal.com]

yes, actually they are.

[fraash.livejournal.com]

O_O is it bad that im... shocked at that?

[unauteur.livejournal.com]

i wanna see the leader's face.

[oystersauce87.livejournal.com]

What do you mean? The leader is on the far left

[unauteur.livejournal.com]

really? no? i thought she's the one with the shades?

[oystersauce87.livejournal.com]

no the one with the shades is not the leader

[unauteur.livejournal.com]

oh :/ i guess this info is wrong (http://4minutefamily.wordpress.com/).

[oystersauce87.livejournal.com]

Their pictures are swapped.
JiHyun is the one on the far left. The one in shades is JiYoon.

[unauteur.livejournal.com]

never trust that website again :/

Shades = Jiyoon
Leader = Jihyun

lol yes v confusing i know. :(

[unauteur.livejournal.com]

Looking at that picture, all I can see is what I think are Paul McCartney faces on that light-haired girls leggings. How odd.

Ugh, I don't know why this song - and the band - are so popular, to be honest. I say it would be looks, but then I'd be lying even to myself. I think the only thing they have going is the fact that their song is catchy, because they sure as hell can't sing it well live.

[f-i-x-m-e.livejournal.com]

This.

[ganesa.livejournal.com]

and one of them was a member of the wonder girls. that connection seems to inspire loyalty from fans, god knows why. that's the only reason they got so much exposure initially, even before the song was out, and I doubt the same amount of attention would be paid to them if she were not involved.

[carrotsandroses.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too.

[jyusou.livejournal.com]

Mm, modelling. That should be interesting.
Hopefully the clothes they'll be made to wear for the brands won't be as BAD as the ones they're wearing now in this photo (Jiyoon of course, being the exception, again).

[thsisyoursignal.livejournal.com]

kind of ot, but i still think the girl with her stank face on (second from the left) is cute. they color matched her well this time, lol.

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

omg LOL at that picture.

Weird elbow pose? Check. G-Dragon head point? Check. Minzy knock-off? Check. Stereotypical 'gangsta sign' pose? Check.

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

Also, someone should be giving the producer/composer/arranger of that song all this publicity. The sheer catchy-ness of that song (and maybe residual HyunA fans) is the only reason they are popular.

[super-genin.livejournal.com]

Wait, didn't Wonder Girls also endorse 1677?

It seems 4minute's picking up the deals WG left behind...

[pokoro.livejournal.com]

their company is the sister company of JYP, of course they're going to endorse the same brands. it's just like 2NE1 doing all the stuff Big Bang already did like FILA.

[pokoro.livejournal.com]

it's so funny to me how everyone on Omona seems to hate them... when in Korea they are actually getting even more attention than SNSD or 2NE1 right now. quit hating and just enjoy, obviously there's something good about them if Korea likes them this much!!

[streetrat.livejournal.com]

idg what you're saying, people have different opinions? if they don't like them then so be it, it's their choice.

[pokoro.livejournal.com]

i'm just sayin it's hilarious how everyone on OMNTD thinks they suck, r ugly, have no talent, etc. but Korea totally disagrees and loves these girls.

[beebz-x.livejournal.com]

SHE HAS TO TAKE THEM OFF ONE DAY!

you can't hide under them shades forever bb.

[maisoui.livejournal.com]

lol this!

[maisoui.livejournal.com]

I actually don't mind Hot Issue that much. I actually kind of like it, and I'm hoping their performances get stronger, 'cuz then I'd like it more.

But I feel like..idk, they should have debuted with a different image because their image really is just like 2NE1's. I think they could have avoided a lot of hate and comparison. idk idk lol

[fraash.livejournal.com]

Hot Issue, iunno. I think it has a killer chorus, it's addicting and catchy, but the versus are so annoying S:
meh- good for them though :D
