Female Korean idol group, 4minute has recently officially decided to make their music debut in Japan. They are quickly gaining interest from people in the music industry.
Universal Music Group Japan, which includes Big Bang and Supernova, established 4minute's official site, calling them Asia's strongest girl group and declaring their embarking on Japan, and made clear their Japanese album release, live schedule and extensive PR campaign.
They've also been declared the first Korean group to debut in Japan with members all born in the 90s, and the group's name has been explained to mean that they can captivate the fascination of all people in under 4 minutes.
Also, Western music magazine, Billboard, has praised the girls, saying that "4minute is a group with the ability to be a huge success in the global market."
The girls have already went to Taiwan, Philippines and Thailand for their Asia Tour. This time, they are here in Hong Kong for a 5D4N trip to promote their mini album, 'For Muzik'. As HyunAh has to attend Music Bank on the 19th, only 4 members arrived in the Hong Kong airport. The flight was about half an hour late (they reached at 12:40AM), but that did not affect the 50 fans (approximately) who came very early in the morning to the airport to secure a good spot. The girls wore shorts and thin shirts, as if telling everyone they are fearless of the cold weather. 4 bodyguards were present to ensure the safety of the girls.
Members of the media and press were impressed because 4Minute did not put on airs as the hottest Hallyu stars, but instead, allowed everyone and anyone to take photos of them. Other than greeting the fans, accepting their gifts and giving out autographs, the girls called out "I love you!" when fans screamed "Saranghaeyo!" Even after they have boarded the shuttle bus, they did not show any sign of impatience at the fans chasing after them, and even smiled and waved.

On the same day, the girls were interviewed by various media groups in Hong Kong, then proceeded to have a Japanese style dinner with their manager in the evening. HyunAh joined them later in the day.
Today, 20th of February, 4Minute attended 'EMax X 4Minute fan-signing' with fellow Universal Music label-mates (seniors), Mr. , and exchanged autographed albums. Check out some videos below.
4Minute will be attending 'Asian Starway' as special guests on the 21st, and will leave Hong Kong next Monday (22nd).
