[NEWS] 4Minute welcomes a new member

Recently, 4minute's new comeback single "Heart to Heart" has become a hot topic among netizens and the "STEAL 20" audio teaser has been grabbing attention as well.

Amidst the anticipation for 4minute's comeback after 200 days on hiatus from the Korean music scene, a CUBE Entertainment representative has come forth with an announcement of the addition of a new member, Shin Chae Min.

Shin Chae Min is a LOEN Entertainment* trainee. She has a variety of talents. She has studied ballet, guitar, and piano. Chae Min danced since an early age and is known for possessing great dancing skills. She is rumored to be the first runner-up of a LOEN Entertainment Audition, but nothing has been confirmed.

A representative stated in the official fan cafe, "In the beginning of April, a secret we have hidden for a long time will be revealed. We hope that you will accept this addition to the group and continue supporting 4minute."

Some fans raised their objections toward this decision:
"4minute is great with just 5 members. They don't need a 6th."
"I'll boycott 4minute if CUBE adds another member."
"I don't think adding another girl to the group would make them any better."

However, many netizens also approved of the addition of a new member.
"If CUBE thinks this is for the best, fans should accept this decision."
"As long as they bring good music, I don't care."
"If you're a 4NIA, you should support and welcome Shin Chae Min."

Meanwhile, 4minute has expressed their excitement towards the new member, "Please continue to watch over us and welcome Shin Chae Min. We will show an even better image of us in the near future."
