4MINUTE is a girl group with endless charm and versatility. One second, they come across as adorable girlfriends playfully nagging their boyfriends and the next; they transform into sexy ladies seductively blowing kisses at the club! Their addictively intense songs combined with their arresting stage presence makes for an energy-filled performance that captivates the audience. 4MINUTE gained popularity worldwide only a short time after their debut and in 2010, the group even earned the top spot on the album chart of the biggest online music website in Taiwan and became number one on Hong Kong’s airplay chart. The group recorded a duet with American artist Amerie and collaborated with the Japanese R&B star Thelma Aoyama. The group’s first solo concert in Japan was sold out almost instantaneously.
Group Introduction
The name ‘4MINUTE’ has two meanings: the first being that each member of the group will be able to capture the audience with her unique charm in just 4 minutes and the second one is that each members will live in the moment and do her best for that moment (‘for a minute’). The group is comprised of 5 members: Kim Hyuna, Nam Jihyun, Heo Gayoon, Jeon Jiyoon, and Kwon Sohyun. Ever since the release of the first digital single ‘Hot Issue’ in 2009, the group has had numerous hit songs such as ‘Muzik,’ ‘I My Me Mine,’ ‘Heart To Heart,’ and ‘Mirror Mirror.’
