130225 HyunA becomes the first Korean artist to grace the cover of England’s ‘POP’

4minute‘s HyunA became the first Korean artist to grace the cover of ‘POP‘!

‘POP’ is a famous fashion magazine in England that the whole world watches for its trendy fashion and art. HyunA became its cover girl for the 28th issue, putting her right up there with other icons like Madonna, Britney Spears, Victoria Beckham, and Jennifer Lopez.

Editor Ashley Heath said, “HyunA became an icon of K-pop for Westerners through “Gangnam Style“. On YouTube, a few clicks turned into millions and tens of millions because of HyunA’s unique charm. HyunA is stylish, and can be called the prime example of our generation’s liveliness.”

It’s a little disappointing that HyunA isn’t getting known for her own songs, but rather for her rendition of Psy’s song (as you can see by the #OPPAJUSTMYSTYLE on the cover). Nonetheless it’s nice to see her getting recognized for her own style as well.

Check out another photo of her from the magazine below!

Lee Kwang Soo found himself paired up with HyunA. As he spied his team members running for his location with HyunA’s team on their tail, he made to quickly dash away and join his group – but the 4minute member resisted, grabbing onto his arms and pleadingly shooting him an innocent look. “Oppa, don’t go,” she begged, melting the giraffe’s heart and giving HyunA’s team enough time to catch up.

130208 Announcer Yoon Young Mi’s comments about 2YOON spark criticism

An upset fan commented, “Even so, you recorded an episode with them, and even took a selca with them. It’s not very professional to say you don’t know their names. You shouldn’t have uploaded this picture..“, to which she replied, “I do as I please“. Another upset 2YOON fan stated, “It’s okay to not know their names, but if you are uploading on Twitter next time, please at least conduct some simple research such as a search. I’m a little upset as a fan. They are Gayoon and Jiyoon of the 4minute subunit, 2YOON.”

She was bombarded with various other criticism, most of which couldn’t believe she had recorded a variety show and even took selcas that she publicly shared, but didn’t have the courtesy to even remember their names. Many of the common complaints included, “How do you think 2YOON feels when they saw this?“, “That was very rude of you“, and “You can’t just say ‘I forgot’ as an excuse. How would you feel if the situations were reversed?”
