120829 4 Minute and A Pink talk about diet
In the upcoming episode of QTV’s “4Minute’s Travel Makers”, 4minute will share their diet secrets to their junior group, A Pink.
The 4minute and A Pink members went on a trip to Jeju Island together. During their meeting, the A Pink members asked their seniors how they maintain their fit bodies.
4minute answered, “Except for our diet periods, we eat whatever we want. Our diet time starts two weeks before our comeback stage.” Member Sohyun added, “However, after our first broadcast, we slowly return to our old lazy selves.”
HyunA also shared, “There was a time when all of the members had to film an ice cream commercial when we’re at our heaviest weight. When we saw the commercial later, our faces all looked the same,” causing everyone to laugh.

120825 Why did Hyuna Cry?
In the latest episode of 4minute's Travel Maker, 4minute shared their innermost feelings with each other. Hyunah revealed her thoughts on her group, "I'm very proud of 4minute. No matter how others criticize us, I believe all five of us are amazing individuals." Hyunah began to tear up as she continued on, "I think we're all irreplaceable. Just like when Gayoon-unnie was sick or when I was sick, we were all so worried and we found it hard to continue on even with four other members."
In an attempt to hide her tears, Hyunah put on her sunglasses, but when her tears fell even harder, she added, "I don't know why I can't stop crying like this."
She continued to profess, "Don't get sick and weary, guys. Let's hold on and keep going with one heart and one goal, just like we are now."
Seeing Hyunah's teary confession, the other members could not hold back their tears as well.
4minute maknae Sohyun also revealed, "I want 4minute to stay together forever, but if it doesn't work out the way we want it to, I hope we'll still be close. I want us to live in the same area or even the same building, and we can always meet up and see each other often. I don't want us to ever drift apart."
Viewers who saw 4minute's touching confessions left comments such as, "She seems to be really close with her members", "They all care for each other so much", and "Hyunah's tears seem very genuine."

120825 4Minute & VIXX to perform in the U.S
The event will be produced by Mnet, a youth entertainment brand for all things Asian cool, which includes the only national, English-language lifestyle television network in the U.S. for fans of Asian pop culture. Panels and workshops looking deep inside the Korean Wave will fill the day. From the music and the fashion to Korean cinema, YouTube celebrities and a cosplay contest, every aspect of Hallyu will have a home at KCON.
“As the Korean wave spreads across the globe, and touches down in the States, it is so important that we provide fans with an interactive experience with their idols,” said Ted Kim, acting president & CEO of Mnet. “KCON is an event that is long overdue and Mnet is committed to creating a positive fan experience by making it affordable and giving unprecedented access to the stars.”
KCON is set to take place on October 13 at the Verizon Amphitheater in Irvine, CA. In addition to affordable $40 tickets, a VIP package for $100 is available, and includes a ticket in the concert pit, exclusive pre-show access and additional access. All tickets include admission to the concert and the entire convention programming slate. For more information about how to purchase tickets, please visitwww.kconusa.com.
“Hallyu has fans around the world buzzing and the signs of this craze reaching the U.S. can be seen all around us,” added Mr. Kim. “From K-pop sensation 2NE1’s reality show airing in the U.S. on Mnet to Internet rumors that Paris Hilton will be in Kim Jang Hoon’s next video; from PSY’s incredible rise to stardom including a recent performance at Dodgers Stadium, and Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre performing at the MAMA music awards in front of two billion worldwide viewers, it is no longer possible to avoid this trend. KCON is the next logical step.”
Other signs of K-pop’s break into the mainstream include:
· Girls Generation performed on The Late Show with David Letterman and Live with Kelly, and was part of a sold-out K-pop show at Madison Square Garden
· 2NE1 recently recorded tracks for its new album with will.i.am
· GRAMMY-nominated Akon is featured on “Just Money,” the new single from Wonder Girls (who includes opening for the Jonas Brothers on its resume)
· Billboard’s launch of the K-pop Hot 100 to their weekly publication
With online being the biggest tool for fans to stay connected with their favorite K-pop stars, YouTube has reported that K-pop video clips were viewed nearly 2.3 billion times in 235 countries in 2011. That number is three times more than was reported in 2010 and shows no signs of stopping.
