4minute's Jihyun apologizes for weak live performance

[gardenintheair.livejournal.com]

4minute's Nam Ji Hyun apologized for her first performance after the comeback.

On April 13, Nam Ji Hyun tweeted: "My throat condition wasn't that great during the first performance so I promised myself not to show a hint of surprise or embarrassment, and just do as much as I rehearsed. But my live performance was very weak. I know this is all an excuse, I am ashamed but I promise I can do better! I'll put more effort. Keep rooting for 4minute and cheer us on."

4minute had their first comeback performance on Mnet M!Countdown the day before Nam Ji Hyun posted on her Twitter. Nam Ji Hyun's live started to get noticeably weak during her part of Volume Up.

Fans and netizens who saw Nam Ji Hyun's Twitter post commented: "Your performance was great, you are humble", "This is why you're 4minute. I'll keep rooting!", "It's understandable when you have a throat problem. Don't worry about it too much", "You can just do better for the next performance", and "That is a nice live performance for very strong dance moves".

Don't worry Ji Hyun. Atleast you sung live.

That is a nice live performance for very strong dance moves
You mean the back up dancers right. 4Minute hardly did anything.

mte.

she always seems awkward on stage 8|

[kiminikaeru.livejournal.com]

ikr and she isn't even a bad dancer or anything

[streetliights.livejournal.com]

nah, she's awkward irl too. when i saw 4Minute in concert..I was shocked at how less charismatic she is in person. I don't know but sometimes I wonder how is she even a performer but then again stupendous talent isn't exactly required in korea.

Hoping this little precious jewel will recover soon ~! ;_;
At least, she did better today.

[markovnikov.livejournal.com]

humble queen. at least she sung live

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

but isn't she always weak? js. It's kind of expected tbh... at least from me lol.
she seems rly nice&whatever but sometimes I think 4minute could do without her.

[pivotandsway.livejournal.com]

right? I always think that tbh. she was fine today though.

[raviolikenshin.livejournal.com]

she sounded like shit, but she kept on trooping instead of showing that she fucked up. not everyone can sound perfect every performance!

[reemgirl.livejournal.com]

so many haters! like it or not, jihyun is 4mintue so she's not going anywhere. just like you're stuck listening to boram heave into the mic or dara singing one word out of 10 lines or every after school member whispering over backtrack. move on pls.

^PREACH.

[devilsatin.livejournal.com]

Can you leave Boram out of this?

[pivotandsway.livejournal.com]

do they even turn Boram's mic on tho for us to hear her breathing

[picklesnjam.livejournal.com]

LOL

lmfaooooo

[falling-empress.livejournal.com]

hyuna is the queen sorry to disappoint u and gayoon is a goddess

[ryousan26.livejournal.com]

IDK why you guys are hating on this girl. I feel bad for her knowing that there are people who think like this. She apologized because she tried her best but failed to deliver what she expected to do. You can't please everyone. ._.

[devilsatin.livejournal.com]

I hope she gets better soon and I'm glad the entire group isn't using this as an excuse to lipsync! It shows that 4minute really respects their fans unlike some other groups these days

[subreadja.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen a 4minute stage since a few comebacks ago cause tbh, the only person who would do anything live was Jiyoon and then Gayoon would wait for her part, do her note, and then go back to lip syncing.

So upon reading this and then watching the whole performance, they're actually doing way better live now than before. I expected worse.

Well done, them.

...but she did fine on Dream racer? Yeah, she'll do better next time.

[dapo322.livejournal.com]

She"raps" in Dream Racer so I would say it would be harder to sound good in her condition on Volume Up where she had to sing.

[picklesnjam.livejournal.com]

this performance is better than the music bank one. theyre more insync and stuff.

is hyunas part in the bridge/pre chorus lipsynched?
i thought it was live but it sounds the same in the music bank performance and she doesnt bother moving her lips in the music bank one

[annhh.livejournal.com]

never apologize something so trivial and no one will notice.

all I care is that constant "oh deooooo" shouting ruins the song for me. so creaky

[liferule91.livejournal.com]

hyuna's "time to rock" kills this song.

If not it would be flawfree

[xredada.livejournal.com]

I was put off more by Jiyoons screeching during her long notes in the chorus. That was painful to listen to. This song is growing on me thought.
