4Minute has no complaints on modifying their “Mirror Mirror” dance
When OSEN asked 4Minute with regards to their feelings about changing some parts of their choreography for ‘Mirror Mirror,’ the group immediately said, “I guess, it has become a problem because the emphasis of our dance isn’t really that part. The “mirror dance” should have had been the highlight but it has been overlapped with that part. Modifying that part of our dance won’t give a big change to our overall performance so overall, we don’t have any complaints about it.”
The hot debates caused the girls to feel very embarrassed. “For foreign artists, our performance and choreography would not be seen as ‘too sensitive’ at all so we really never imagined this kind of reaction. We practiced a lot over the last two months in preparation of our Live performances and we never thought that such controversy will spark,” the members explained.
“The photos that have been captured and posted in the internet were put into slow-motion. The moment I saw it, I felt shy and a little surprised,” one member honestly revealed.
Meanwhile, 4Minute revealed their first version of the modified choreography for the bridge part of the song‘Mirror Mirror’ on MNET in replacement of their “spread-leg” dance movement.

4Minute Thought Of Becoming Trainees Again To Prepare For Their 1st Full Album
4Minute has just officially returned: more feminine and more matured. “This change has been well-thought of and in fact, we all worked hard in order to develop,” one explained.
4Minute has been in the music industry for almost 3 years already. They debuted last June 18, 2009. When they released their first Mini-album, the girls started to hit their marks on people’s mind; however, spectacular growth and development has been more evident from them when they finally released their first ever Full Korean Album entitled, 4MINUTES LEFT. It’s been almost a year now since their last release in Korea and in order to make up to the spaces they missed, they decided to make an effective and ambitious step, also to finally reach their goals.
“For the first full-length album, lyrics had been taken good care by each member.”The youngest member revealed, “While in the midst of our preparation for the album, we’d always think that everything’s not yet enough. We paid attention to the very little details – the words, facial expressions, make-up, performance, so right now, I’m very proud of what it has become. Many people liked it and I recommend everyone to carefully listen and understand the lyrics of the songs.”She added with confidence, “On this album, the songs have strong beats and has a sophisticated allurement to it. I also tried to show more of my feminine side to it in order to show more of my different image to everyone.” Members Kwon Sohyun and Jeon Jiyoon enthusiastically participated on composing the raps of the title tracks of the full album.For the main title-track, “Mirror Mirror”, Kwon Sohyun helped on writing its rap parts. She shyly said, “I practiced for it little by little. Shinsadong-oppa helped us directly. We do recorded several times, but through their assistance and praises, I’ve been encouraged to do better. I believe that it was a marvelous and a good experience.”This burning passion of the girls can be seen as the girls did their best to achieve the ideal body. The members, especially, HyunA’s eyes are usually focused to beef. “Our attitude felt like we returned to becoming trainees again. We’ll eat our dinner together at 10:00 in the evening and by 6:00 AM, we’ll go start practicing. This is our first full-length album and I think, we really have to work this hard,” HyunA answered. “The “spread-leg” dance controversy gave us a scary and embarrassing thought.”In the last 9 days, 4Minute has been busy for their Comeback stages, including their performance at MBC’s Music Core, as part of their promotions for their 4MINUTES LEFT album. They performed their title tracks:“Mirror Mirror” and “Heart to Heart.” The reaction for their performances has become very explosive. After sweeping the music charts, their repetitive and intense lyrics as well as their dance choreography garnered so much interest from the audience. However, an unexpected issue came in when their dance for“Mirror Mirror” became controversial for its sexuality. The members were all surprised upon knowing this and somehow, made them feel embarrassed.The leader, Nam Jihyun, expressed her feelings and said, “At first, I was really embarrassed about it. We actually prepared and practiced hard for the dance movements to give everyone a new look and style. This issue, most especially, the “spread-leg” dance, was really unexpected. We believe that it’s just one of the important parts of our performance that should be looked forward for.” Their agency officials has just made certain modifications for the last 12 days on 4Minute’s controversial choreography.“We’ll focus first with our domestic promotions and activities, then International activities would follow.”Last year, 4Minute obviously focused more on their international activities. Their activities, especially in Japan, gave them various opportunities to achieve global expansion and make their dreams possible. In Japan, they successfully had two-sold-out concerts in just 10 minutes, marking a record for the group.Also, last February, 4Minute was chosen by Japan’s Billboard Music Awards to receive the “KPOP New-Artist Award.” However, for local fans, the long-year of waiting is over.The youngest, Kwon Sohyun, said, “We’ll focus more with our domestic promotional activities. We’ll just probably be back with our international activities once we’re done with our promotions locally.”HyunA added, “The album has just been released for less than a week. Our follow-up promotions is now being planned so expect us to really work hard. We’ll continue to answer our fans’ high expectations. All I can say is that, expect something different.”Source:Asiae Reporting + Translating + Editing:[email protected]
4minute’s Sohyun reveals her close friendship with 2AM’s Jinwoon
4minute’s maknaeSohyun recently captured her closeness with 2AM’s Jinwoon via Twitter.
On April 14th, the idol uploaded a picture and tweeted, “Friday night 11:30. On TrendE, ’A PINK News‘ will air with seven chemical-free girls. This time, the anchors were me and 2AM’s Jinwoon so anticipate it even more. Jinwoon oppa’s consistent expression·pose“.
In the picture, the two are seen wearing simple black and white outfits that are appropriate for their anchor positions. Sohyun posed brightly for the camera with her peace sign, but later covered her face with embarrassment. The friends’ faces are also noticeable for looking slightly alike.
Netizens commented, “Two group’s maknaes have united”, “Your faces and eyes smiles look alike”, “You two look good together“.
4Minute is currently busy promoting their title song, “Mirror Mirror“.
In their latest interview with Star News, 4minute showed their support and love for label mates B2ST andG.NA.
With a laugh, Gayoon revealed, “The members of B2ST are like our cousins, we’re all very close, just like family. We can be called the first team to debut under Cube Entertainment, so we received a lot of love from our CEO and company employees as the only child. But with the debuts of B2ST and G.NA after us, the attention became divided (laughter).”
She continued, “Of course, they still give us so much love, but we’re going to be working harder so that their interest in us will be like old times. The fact that we think preciously of B2ST and G.NA will never change.”
Sohyun added, “B2ST oppas and G.NA unni are all so great. It’s because we have B2ST and G.NA that we’re even more proud of Cube Entertainment.”
She concluded, “We’ll be promoting in Korea a lot this year so that we can become a team that B2ST and G.NA will think is amazing as well.”
