100729 Eric - Gina, They Form Ties In a Past CF
The past of rookie singer Gina was revealed.
In an internet portal site on the 29th, singer Gina (G.NA, real name Gina Choi) and Shinhwa member Eric (real name Moon Junghyuk) was revealed.
This picture was taken in 2008 when Eric came out as a model for a beverage brand CF shooting. At that time, trainee G.NA and Eric filmed this CF together, and showed their black-hairstyle with their attractive looks. In the picture, Eric is wearing a black suit while G.NA (who is currently a blonde today) matched him with a black-hairstyle with a black dress. Their images boasted with charm.
Gina's and Eric's fate is special. As a former member of Battle Shinhwa, Gina used to be under Shinhwa's company as she prepared her debut as Five Girls. As a result, netizens assumed that this was a shot with Eric due to that reason.
In the meantime, while G.NA gained popularity on the 5th with her duet song 'What I Want To Do Once I Have A Lover' with singer Rain (real name Jung Jihoon), she released her sing album on June 14th, and she is in the middle of activities with her title song 'I'll Back Off So You Can Live (feat. Yong Junhyung).'
100729 Gina "One Time, I Wanted To Quit Becoming A Singer...
Even the Humiliation As Hyunah's Dancer..." (Interview)
A competent female solo singer has entered. Her name is Gina. Since 2007 when her group disbanded, former member of Five Girls' Gina dreamed and ran until she reached the day of her debut. As a girl who endured trouble and pain, we are anticipating her future activities even more.
# I'll Back Off So You Can Live
Gina's debut song is 'I'll Back Off So You Can Live'. When you listen to the powerful title of this song, you won't forget it easily.
Honestly, this is a song that Gina participated in since the beginning. While wondering how this melody would sound, she participated in the whole process of the making of the song. When the song was composed in the beginning, it sounded more like a ballad. But, because it didn't match Gina's style, she added some parts to create the polished feel of 'I'll Back Off So You Can Live' that we now listen to today. Although there is no affection in her debut song, this is a song that is more special than any other song to Gina.
# First Stage
Gina faced an incident in which her microphone pack fell off during her debut stage. Although one would be in shock to face such incident, Gina managed to ease her way out of the situation.
Gina said, “I was too nervous. In being so nervous, I didn’t even look at the camera a lot. When I could have done better in doing this, it was a disappointment for a big stage performance. I was really shocked when my microphone pack fell off. But with Yong Junhyung who was on stage with me, I was able to stay strong.”
In this song, Yong Junhyung featured in the song as he stood on stage with Gina. In seeing the shocked Gina, Junhyung made an OK sign with his hand as he mouthed the words “It’s okay” to her.
Gina said, “If Yong Junhyung didn’t tell me that, I would have probably walked off the stage. I was thankful and still thankful. If you look at the broadcast, you could see Yong Junhyung doing the OK sign with his hand. He’s a friend I have a lot to learn from.”
# The Fact That I Was a [Member of] Five Girls
When you talk about Gina, the story about Five Girls is brought up. Now that the former members of Five Girls UEE, Yubin, and Jun Hyosung are energetically active in girl groups, Five Girls is gaining even more attention.
Gina mentioned that Five Girls was one of her great memories. Gina said, "When I came to Korea, they were the dongsaengs that I first lived with and they were a group that allowed me to experience true friendship. They are that extraordinary," and smiled.
Even after Five Girls was disbanded, the members continued to keep in touch. When the members watch each other succeed, they feel closer, and they get excited as if it were them succeeding. Of course as Gina was preparing her solo debut, she remembers when she was encouraged to work harder to succeed as she watched them.
At a young age, she wasn't very active in her group, and she experienced the pain of the disbandment of her team. Also, she needed respectable preparation until she debuted as a solo singer. During the debuts and active activities of the other members, she silently practiced, wondering when she would debut.
Gina said, "Honestly, I was endlessly tired at that time. I was so tired that I quit and returned to Canada. After exhaustingly spending 6 months, I decided to try again, so I returned to Korea. Although it was really hard, I am thankful today. If I didn't experience those difficult times, I don't think I could of endured today. Also, those difficult experiences will be my motivation as I endure troubles today."
After Gina (who grew up in Canada until she was 19 years old) came to Korea for Five Girls, she felt as if she endured everything that she had never experienced before in 4-5 years than the past 19 years of her childhood. The times when she had to separate from her family, the time she couldn't sing or talk after she did surgery, the time when she lived alone... as she endured those difficult times, she became stronger.
Before debuting, Gina even taught English. She also experienced the time when she stood on stage as Hyunah's dancer. Although it was for a short period of time, it was hard to admit that she stood on stage as a dancer while her other members actively debuted as members in new groups.
Gina confessed, "It was the time when UEE was active, and I was disappointed in myself. At that time, the company complained. But, I was able to overcome that phase, but starting with the boss, many people wouldn't have thought that I wanted to feel those emotions with those kinds of experiences. But, I am more thankful today. After being a dancer for over a month, I was able to learn many things regarding the stage."
# My Charm
Gina chose the quality of her tone as her most charming point. From now on, while training that quality of hers, she wants people to know that it's Gina when they listen to her songs.
Gina chose Yoon Mirae and Park Junghyun as singers she like and want to be similar to. When she came to Korea, she was able to understand the cultural traditions of Korea, and she really wanted to have a special voice with charm. We can really feel that she has a beautiful voice with charming feel. Also, she believes that an improving image needs to be shown after each album.
# Body Management
Gina manages her body and physical stamina through yoga. She lost about 8kg from yoga and jump roping. She jump ropes 1500-2000 jumps each day. While listening to music, she jump ropes and practices singing. It seems like yoga is very effective when losing your mind, too.
Gina's motto is 'If you fill your day with improvements, you will live meaningfully'. She learned that from her difficult past. Gina, who is determined to improve each day, emphasized that she would show her 100% true image from now on.
Gina has a valuable experience that you cannot just buy with money. That experience will become her rich soil as she becomes the best singer. Gina is going to spread her wings now.
100730 Gina "Things That Made Me Strong" (Interview)
Former member of Five Girls and super rookie Gina was being anticipated even before her debut. Because Wonder Girls' Yubin, Secret's Jun Hyosung, and After School's UEE are beating the music industry today and because they showed unstoppable interest regarding Gina from the time she stayed in America as a JYP trainee until she prepared her debut with 4minute and BEAST in CUBE Entertainment, she became the top searched person on portal sites while dragging the attention of netizens. It was expected that 'I'll Back Off So You Can Live' was going to be a success.
● Five Girls In 2007... "This Is Not My House"
When Gina came to Korea in 2005, she was first known as a member of Five Girls in a cable channel in 2007. "It was true that we didn't release an album, stood on stage, or made friends with others. In the beginning, when I arrived to Korea, it was true that I wasn't familiar with Korean and it didn't feel like home." As a Canadian citizen, young Gina felt uncomfortable and scared as she lived her life in Korea away from her family.
Right when the debut of Five Girls was cancelled, Gina packed her bags right away and returned to Canada. "Although I didn't want to tell them that I quit, it was true that I nearly gave up. My confidence fell to the floor. But, a call from CUBE's representative (JYP representative in the past) came. He asked if I wanted to try again, and if I wanted to audition again. So, I started to receive training in New York."
At that time, Gina was called 'the 2nd Park Jiyoon made by Park Jinyoung.' Because of the burden of being a big anticipation, she received surgery on her vocal cords and she had no other choice but to swallow her tears.
● Wonder Girls' Chorus, Hyunah's Back Dancer.. "Truthfully, I Wanted To Cry"
Although her health restored little by little, she wasn't comfortable with her life in New York. "During the American public performances, I spent time with Park Jinyoung PD and Wonder Girls' Yubin. Also, when Min (Miss A member) ambitiously prepared her American activities, I had to help Min with her English."
The changed gazes of the people only made Gina even shyer. It was worse when she was in Korea. Gina stood on stage as 4minute Hyunah's back dancer during Hyunah's solo activities with 'Change'. Because Gina was only known as the 'former member of Five Girls' and 'the 2nd Park Jiyoon', the gazes of the people stung her.
"When I went to broadcasts, there were a few people that I recognized, but I would hear them say, "The leader of Five Girls became a back dancer?" When I heard that, I wanted to cry."
Although she may heard those comments harshly, she was in the process of training under a company. Also, Gina finished and completed her training. "Of course I became stronger. No matter how hard those times were, I made it so I can laugh. Now, I have nothing to fear."
● "My Music With My Feel"
With her strong dancing skills, it's true that Gina was going to announce a dance song before her debut. But, Gina's 'I'll Back Off So You Can Live' is an R&B song with a beautiful melody.
"In the beginning, I received a dance song. I told them that I didn't like it. They said that what the public was expecting was meaningless. It was true that my musical taste was a bit old-fashioned."
Gina mainly concentrated on the general concept and feel of the album while sticking with songwriters. "From the point of making the song with Wheesung sunbaenim's lyrics, by directly telling him about my experiences, it was added in the production." At the end, a satisfying album was produced.
"We prepared this for a long time. I wanted to show what I did. It wasn't for pointless greed, but because something needed to be done." It wasn't misfortune or trouble that made Gina stronger and that allowed her to stand here. It is definite that her strong-will will become her smallest condition on stage as she shows the best of her.
100801 5 Years Ago, I Washed Away the Misfortune and Stood On Stage Today
■ Rookie G.NA, Who Is Gaining Popularity With 'I'll Back Off So You Can Live'
Before sales, gaining attention with her powerful title
Almost debuted 5 years ago with UEE and Yubin
Although it's late, happy to sing on stage
Wants to be remembered as someone with a tone of personality
I thought that another 'pretty' sexy female singer entered. I thought she was one of the many female singers with a magnificent appearance and glamorous body. However, although Gina (G.NA, real name Gina Choi), who is dragging attention as the 'sexy female singer', may be a rookie, her image on stage was unbelievably graceful and her singing ability was powerful. Unlike the anticipation of wearing clothes that show her body, she is unexpectedly hiding her body with long pants and shirts. Gina (who is gaining popularity with 'I'll Back Off So You Can Live') removed her nickname 'female singer of misfortune' from 5 years ago, and ended her solo hardships.
"'I'll Back Off So You Can Live' is a story that I personally experienced. As I was talking to Wheesung oppa, I told him that my boyfriend started to avoid me, and when I thought that he was going to break up with me, he admitted that he cheated on me. So, I wanted to compose a song with the emotions I felt at that time. Usually, the lyrics were 'I'll Leave So You Can Live' , but as I told the story, my emotions got radical and the word 'I'll Back Off' jumped at me."
Like her explanation, before 'I'll Back Off So You Can Live' was produced by the collaboration of Kim Dohoon and singer Wheesung, its powerful title brought attention. On top of that, regardless of the fact that she was a rookie, popular idol group BEAST's member Yong Junhyung helped out as a featuring guest, and it became an issue when special musicians like Kang Eunkyung, Kang Jiwon, Kim Taesung, Shin Sadong Tiger, Yoon Shira, and Jung Jichan were rumored that they participated in making the album. But, she said, "This was not by accident," and "I believe it produced good results from the sweat and tears that fell for the past 5 years."
Gina, who was born in Canada, came to Korea 5 years ago to become a singer. She became a JYP trainee and formed the group 'Five Girls' with other female singer applicants. At that time, she was the leader of Five Girls, and Wonder Girls' Yubin, After School's UEE, Secret's Jun Hyosung, and former T-ARA member Jiwon were members of Five Girls. But, while not even being able to officially debut, they disbanded.
"The house was a mess. After my father passed away when I was 6 years old, I received conservative education from my grandmother and grandfather in place of my mother. But, when I told them that I wanted to become a singer, my grandmother and grandfather greatly opposed. I wanted to show them that I could do it. But, I couldn't stand on stage because my team disbanded. Right when things started to turn upside down, my grandmother passed away. I wondered if it was time for me to quit becoming a singer."
When she thought about giving up, she strangely found hope. Also, she returned back to her trainee life. As Park Jinyoung's chorus, Hyunah's back dancer, and Wonder Girls' concert guest, she constantly stood on stage. One day, even though all the members of Five Girls became popular stars, she wasn't discouraged.
"Although I was a bit sad, it's okay now that I officially debuted after a long wait. (laugh) You won't understand how much I dreamed to make my name known and sing on stage."
Until the first performance that she dreamed and anticipated, she experienced broadcast accidents. While losing her beat, she sang with the wrong rhythm and there was a time when she dropped her microphone. In one music broadcast, her voice couldn't ride the electric waves, and her microphone wasn't operating properly from beginning to end.
"In the beginning, I was so sad that I cried as soon as I got off stage. But, I got stronger from those experiences. I also learned how to firmly counteract a mistake. Now, I'm not scared of any broadcast accident. (laugh)"
She wants to become more like a 'singer who is acknowledged by her singing ability' like Park Junghyun and Yoon Mirae.
"Instead of gaining attention from my appearance, I want to be acknowledged by my music. I want to be remembered as someone with individuality that can't be copied. In order to do that, I should be practicing and improving even more, right?"
Trot - Ballad - Pop Song… I Can Sing Every Genre Of Music
Gina, who wants to be acknowledged by her music instead of her magnificent performance and appearance, has her own music practicing know-how. Each day, she repeatedly listens to a variety of genres of music until she can perfectly digest it.
"From trot to ballad and even pop song, I pick and sing a variety of genres and music from different generations. I arrange one song and listen to it the whole day until I can follow along. I even download the lyrics and print them out so I can memorize it while taking it along with me to places. On top of that, I know more old music than my friends who are near my age. Also, when I started to follow the music of various singers, a new style was born inside me. Today, I'm singing Monica's first album music. When I carefully practice music, my music abilities are gracefully enhanced, and I'm studying music at the same time too."
100802 Gina Joins the Ranks With Her Prominent Selca
'Super rookie' G.NA (Gina) revealed her interview picture.
On the 29th, Gina displayed a different pose for the interview selca.
In the picture, Gina is displaying cuteness with her prominent height and her opened body that might as well fly away any moment, including her cute smiling eyes. Also, Gina, who took a glance at this picture, expressed her shy smile when she said, "I am pleased with this picture. This is okay."
In the meantime, Gina is vigorously active with her activities with 'I'll Back Off So You Can Live (feat. Yong Junhyung), and she is dragging popularity with her striking singing ability and performance that is unrookie-like.
[NEWS] 100805 Super Rookie G.NA, photo of her revealed when she was 19. 'Still mature'
Super rookie G.NA revealed a photo of her when she was 10.
On the 5th, the photo of 19 year old G.NA was revealed though a celebrity related community site. G.NAs mature charm can be easily found when she was young.
Agency CUBE Entertainment introduced that "G.NA took this photo when she was 19" and "When she was dreaming to become a singer". They even hinted out "She was young, but her mature charm is still the same".
The netizens praised G.NAs appearance by saying "She still looks the same", "I could feel G.NAs innocence".
Former member of Oh-So-Nyuh, G.NA has recently been promoting her debut song 'I'll back off so live better' and ranked in different charts, she is showing the power of a super rookie.
Rookie singer Gina (G.NA) dragged attention even during the time when she was in a girl group, and now, she is anticipating the music industry.
As a former member of the 'girl group of misfortune' (Five Girls), she gained hot interest when it was revealed that she was the last to debut among her members. During 2007, the 5-member girl group Five Girls was prepared by Good Entertainment with Shinhwa. Today, Wonder Girls' Yubin, Secret's Jun Hyosung, and After School's UEE are standing tall as top stars today.
Gina (23, real name Choi Gina) lived in Vancouver, Canada until she graduated from high school. Gina, who had the dream of becoming a singer, took an airplane to Korea after graduating. In 2005, Gina appeared in the 'Star Dig' audition program called 'Battle Shinhwa', and she signed a contract with Good Entertainment. Secret's Hyosung was also chosen along with Gina.
"Because it was my first time coming to Korea, there was a large cultural gap inside of me. It was much different than what I have been expecting. The magnificent culture of Korea was unfamiliar to me, and I didn't know any rules or manners."
Gina, who wasn't used to Korean at that time, had to receive language lessons that elementary schoolers were taking. She continued her trainee life even when she was scolded at and bullied. It was difficult for Gina to endure those times due to her unfamiliarity with the Korean culture.
"Because it was tiring, there was a time when I packed my bags and returned to Canada. I believe it was hard for me to do this due to my strong confidence."
But, a full-scale test began. She endured a life while living with strangers, and before Five Girls even came out into the world in 2007, the group was disbanded due to agency problems. The members separated.
Gina heard that Yubin was selected to be in Wonder Girls and that UEE started her new life in After School. Gina, who returned home to Canada, started to feel worried. Then, the past representative of JYP Entertainment, Hong Seungsung, reached out a hand to Gina. As a representative who watched Gina during her Five Girls days, he persuaded her mother in a direct phone call, and Gina was able to plan out her new life in JYP Entertainment.
100805 A Time When Gina Started To Call the Company's President "Father"
Gina started her trainee life under JYP Entertainment back in Korea.
Although she was called the 'second Park Jiyoon taken care of by Park Jinyoung', her future looked uneasy.
An opportunity came to Gina. As a company that knew her potentials, they sent Gina to JYP USA in New York with individuals like Im Junghui. Min, who was living her trainee life in the US under JYP Entertainment, lived with Gina at that time.
But, another misfortunate event occurred. After 5 months, Gina had to receive surgery because a knot formed in her vocal cords from the rough treatment of her neck. Gina, who returned to Korea, was resting while she appeared in 2PM's music video.
Also, she had to make an important decision. When Gina found out that Representative Hong Seungsung left JYP Entertainment and moved to CUBE Entertainment, she also followed him and changed companies.
Hong Seungsung is the most thankful person to Gina. Gina calls him 'father' instead of 'president.' "He told me to just call him 'father'. He said it was too strange to call him 'president'."
Although it may seem like an expression of intimacy, the word 'father' is unfamiliar to Gina. "Because my father passed away when I was little, I never got the chance to say the word 'father'. The word itself was awkward to me. But now, I call the president 'father' so easily."
Now, Gina started her solo training once she felt at home in her new company.
"When I moved to CUBE, I first met Songwriter Kim Dohoon. Although he worried about my surgery on my vocal cords, he promised "I will take responsibility of you and I will work with you" after he listened to my voice."
Although 4minute (from the same company) was preparing for their debut at that time, Gina was excluded by the 4minute members because of the fact that she was better off being solo than being in a group. Then, the other members of Five Girls all debuted and started their activities, which received much attention from the public.
"Truthfully, I was jealous. I think I felt really jealous when I heard that Yubin was doing well and advancing to America. I thought that it would be nice if my day came quickly."
As Gina was experiencing hardships, she became stronger.
100805 She Really Experienced Her Debut Song 'I'll Back Off So You Can Live'
After the long wait, Gina released her new song in June as a solo artist.
Her debut song is 'I'll Back Off So You Can Live'. Before her song was created, it was a song composed with Songwriter Kim Dohoon after the end of nonstop periods.
They lyrics expressed Gina's experience. Wheesung, who wrote Gina's lyrics, was able to complete the lyrics once he got Gina to reveal her truthful story. He even took care of Gina's pronunciation because her Korean wasn't perfect then.
"'I'll Back Off So You Can Live' was the experience of my first love. In the beginning, it was 'I'll Leave So You Can Live', but Wheesung sunbaenim changed it to 'I'll Back Off So You Can Live' because the other one was weaker."
This song is gaining attention as it's ranking highly on charts even among the existing solo singers like Se7en, Son Dambi, Taeyang, and Chaeyeon. However, Gina is not satisfied.
Her dream is to become a world star one day. Her determination is amazing regarding the fact that she wants to go beyond Asia and advance into the US to receive popularity.
"I want to become a well-known singer no matter where I am. I have faith that my strong-will will allow me to do so. In order to accomplish this big dream, I must put in all my effort into today's events. I hope everyone will send their support."
100805 [HD Interview] G.NA, 'I Want to Become More and More Charming As You See Me'
"First performance... I don't like crying in the waiting room."
"My appearance right now? Drinking 2 liters of water is effective."
"Boyfriend Yoon Doojoon would talk so much in the music video... Was it really annoying?"
The 'super rookie' has entered the music industry. Gina (G.NA) is the hero who sat on top of rankings as a solo singer with her debut song . Gina, who was a former member of Five Girls 3 years ago, had a broadcasting accident during her first performance, and all she could do was absent-mindedly swallow her tears.
"I was punished for enduring it. Like a fool... after ending the song, watching myself cry in the waiting room really pained me. I wasn't acting like a pro..."
The girl who used to be sharp, who couldn't hold on to her delicate personality, and who thought that a little hope would still be left even though she came down from the stage in a hurry, revealed her heavy heart by saying that she might have been in a jumble as her tears fell in front of her watchers if BEAST's Yong Junhyung wasn't on stage with her as her featuring guest.
Before Gina's debut, she received attention from music fans. It's because of her past experience with Five Girls and because world star Rain sang with her in her album song . "There were many times when we would crash into each other as he came and went into the company's office. I would greet him, but this song! I thought that this had to be sung with Rain sunbaenim. Because it was such a lovely feeling... (laugh)."
Although Rain delightedly agreed to do it 3 days before, Gina was only worrying about the negative results the might occur because of her.
Gina's mini album has 5 songs. During the 1 year preparation of her solo debut, she had much worry and difficulty when selecting her songs, including the troubles she faced with the Korean language due to fact that she lived her life in America.
"These were one of the reasons why I started my debut late. Instead of saying 'oppa', I would shout 'hyung', and there were times when I would take a whole pizza and say, "I love you, pizza~"... I had to take 8 months of [Korean] education in the 4th grade of elementary school. Haha!"
Although it hasn't been a month since she first stood on stage, Gina presented her deeply appealing and striking singing ability and her stable performances. Gina is gaining many fans and she is dragging attention as 'the masterpiece body Gina' among male fans.
"Because I was a bit chubby in the beginning, I would only drink 2 liters of water and not eat anything. Instead of doing tireless aerobic exercises in health clubs, I would go walking at Pilates or at a nearby park. and I would repeat 2000 jumps while jump roping. Also, because I didn't want to receive stress from the foods I ate, I automatically hung my reputation even if food was laid in front of me. Although I wanted to eat, I would tell myself 'Later... I can eat it later!' (laugh)"
Beautiful Gina, who has extraordinary effort, chose Yoon Doojoon as her 'boyfriend' for her music video.
"The relationship between us was really awkward. Hoho~ When I sincerely captured the mood and acted, Doojoon, no, Doojoon sunbae, would stand right next to me and continuously talk so much that we made a lot of NGs."
Because Gina is always interested in new things and wants to be challenged by anything, when we asked her to start an acting career, she gave us a sudden smile and said that she would think about it.
During the time when UEE (who suffered and rejoiced for 11 months) found out that she was going to become a member of another girl group, Gina was going to follow right behind her into After School. She admitted that she thought about what it would have been like if she agreed to be one of them. After 3 years of perseverance, it was possible for her to be resurrected as the 'super rookie' Gina because she had faith in herself in the past.
We asked about the role that she wanted to accomplish this year.
"I like Christina Aguilera. She was a figure that I yearned to become because of her musical transformations. It is professional and charming to watch her do hip hop one day, and reappear with a style that's reviving the '80s. Also, if you have a desire... you become a woman with more and more charm...? If I were to greed for more, it would be to receive a rookie award near the end of the year. (laugh)."
1. What is the summer fashion that you used to enjoy wearing?
Whether you're worrying about it or not, it's best to feel comfortable. Maybe a bundled up hair with a loose tank and shorts?
2. When you debuted, who felt the most resent?
All the members of Five Girls. They were the ones who congratulated me the latest. Even though I was touched by their videos later...
3. Which sunbae singers do you like?
Yoon Mirae and Park Junghyun sunbaenim. They always have musical transformations! Their charm and personality has no change.
100806 Cube Entertainment to Reveal Their Trainees
Cube Entertainment will be holding the 2010 Summer Cube Stars Party in Seoul on the 10th.
This party will reveal trainees for the first time ever, and choose one that will carry on the popularity of Mario, 4minute, BEAST, and G.NA, becoming the ‘Next Cube Star’.
Cube Entertainment is rather confident in their method of finding a newcomer, as this event was planned openly. They will have 8 teams competing, and they will be looking for personality, will power, and skills. They stated, “The team that receives the best assessment at the 2010 Summer Cube Stars Party will become the ‘Next Cube Star’.”
A Cube Entertainment representative explained, “After the first Cube Star Party held back in January, teams have been in a silent battle for the past 7 months. They will show off their polished skills on the 10th.”
The super rookie that has been gaining much love with her debut single I’ll Back Off So You Can Live Better, G.NA was a part of the first 2010 Cube Stars Party. She then transformed from trainee Choi Gina to rookie singer G.NA.
Back in January, during CUBE STARS PARTY 2010, it was announced that CUBE would unleash a new girl group into the Kpop scene for this summer ! The tentative name is Rosemary and few members were introduced during CUBE artists' first showcase ever. Still, since there wasn't any official statement regarding the group's composition and future activities, not much information is available yet.
So, for now, this thread will try to introduce a little (just a little) the CUBE girls.
In general, several of them appeared when 4minute was promoting Muzik on broadcasted shows. They were also with them for the music festivals during New Year's Eve.
The team from CUBE Stars Party 2010.
