4minute's Jeon Jiyoon will show her skill in English and composition

4minute’s Jeon Jiyoon is studying hard.

Recently, Jeon Jiyoon has been carrying an English textbook in her bag to study English. Due to 4minute's frequent overseas promotions, the members have realized the necessity of studying languages.

Although the other members are studying Chinese and Japanese, Jiyoon chooses to study English instead. "I want to be able to converse freely in English," Jiyoon said with a smile.

The other members flattered Jiyoon with encouraging words: “Jiyoon is diligently studying English studies as if it were a second nature. She'll be able to show off the fruits of her studies soon.”

Jeon Jiyoon revealed, “In South America, making an OK sign is considered rude and in Japan, holding up 4 fingers is taboo. However, I didn't know these traditions and have made these mistakes before. Since we actively perform overseas, I realized that we should not only learn other languages, but also undoubtedly learn their cultures as well.”

Jiyoon is also in the process of composing songs. When asked when her compositions will be heard, she answered, “Wait for me. I hope that my songs will be revealed in the future. Rather than making sloppy compositions, I want to create something that is enjoyable. I hope that you will patiently anticipate my songs.”

Recently, 4minute is preparing for overseas activities after concluding promotions for their latest mini album, Volume Up.

i think it's still in the planning process, in an interview 2 months ago they said they still couldn't decide between a dance or ballad song.

plus the cube ceo tweeted that 4minute might be making a comeback in august so it might've gotten pushed back :(

Why is holding 4 fingers considered rude in Japan?

Good for you Jiyoon!!

I guess it's because the '4' is associated with death in japan, since it's called shi which also means death in japan.

Oh ok. Thanks for the info!!

I feel like she has so much potential as a singer and a performer and would be great if she would just hone her skills, especially her yell-singing lol. Maybe it won't happen today as a member as 4minute, but someday as a soloist. All of 2011 when the rest of 4minute were dragging ass onstage, Jiyoon basically carried the group.
