Fans weren't allowed to participate ㅠㅠ
In order to appease the dissatisfaction of not being able to participate, here is a picture of each member
While they're singing "On Rainy Days"

I request that many of you participate on the remaining 3 days, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, of their comeback

[INT] 4Minute talks about their scandals with Beast



On a recent interview with 4Minute, they shared some stories about their close relationship with their sibling group, Beast.

As Beast prepares for their comeback stage on Music Bank, 4Minute was asked about their relationship with their label mates and revealed, "We treat them like our real brothers."



During the interview, 4Minute confessed, "As Beast's popularity continues to grow, and with lots of female fans around, we would often be worried about them being noticed by fans for being too close with us then have us involved into scandals."

"However, the problem is that their fans would view us not like any other girl groups but as Beast's sibling group. We were just surprised when some of their fans would say things like, 'If ever you'll be involved in any scandal, we'd prefer you doing it with the 4Minute unnies," the girls continued while laughing.

4Minute and BEAST are from the same agency, CUBE Entertainment. Although 4Minute debuted a little earlier than Beast, the fact is undeniable to fans that they have such tight friendship.



4Minute continued, "Beast's fans have this easy mind set on us. Our fans would even pressure that if ever we'll be making joint-stages like what we do for Gayo Daejuns or year-end specials, we should do it with no other boy groups rather than BEAST."

Meanwhile, 4minute is promoting their youthful and cute title-track track “Heart To Heart” and is passing the baton to B2ST, who are making their comeback this week with their title track “Fiction."

[INFO] 4minute's Sohyun experienced cyber bullying while in the girl group Orange




4minute's maknae Kwon Sohyun opens up about her beginnings as a part of the girl group Orange.

On the cable channel Mnet's "Beatle's Code" recording Kwon Sohyun confesses the difficult times she had when she was in Orange.

Orange was a group, composed of 3 elementary school girls, made 6 years ago in 2005. Kwon Sohyun first debuted into this industry as a member of that group when she was 12 years old and in the 5th grade.

"At that time, I didn't want to be a singer. Because it was an elementary school girl group, everyone who was the same age was very jealous," Sohyun recalls. "Because there was so much cyber bullying and many anti cafes forming, I was very hurt. There was also a time in school when I became a loner."

"When I went to middle school, I watched as an unni from my school debuted as a singer. After that, the unni and I were compared so much that I felt very hurt. After that, I started going to auditions again."

Kwon Sohyun's full, heartbreaking story will be revealed on the 19th.

[NEWS] BEAST, within their Korean comeback releasing their second Japanese single

TAKE OUT WITH FULL CREDITS

110519 BEAST, within their Korean comeback releasing their second Japanese single


6 member boy group BEAST will be releasing their second Japanese single.

On the 19th, Cube Entertainment announced that BEAST's second single-album (T/N: an album with different versions of the same song) 'Bad Girl' will be released on June 15th. Last March, they released 'Shock' and this will be the second Japanese single following that.

Last November, BEAST had kicked off their Japanese promotions with their first showcase. Their Japan debut single 'Shock' sold 29,000 copies in just a week and reached 2nd on Oricon Weekly charts.

On the 13th, they had an event commemorating the release of the 'Shock' single. They had visited Tokyo and had a 'High Touch Event' with some 8000 people in order to give back to fans who had bought their album. On the 15th, they went to Osaka and greeted about 6000 fans with high fives.

From the company's side, they have decided to take a cautious stance regarding future Japanese plans. They plan to focus on Korean activities during June having released their first full length album in Korea.

A representative stated "For now, we won't be actively promoting in Japan but this July when they will be having their Asia Tour, they will be able to meet Japanese fans through fanmeetings."

Meanwhile, BEAST released their first full length album on the 17th and will have their first stage on MNet's 'M -Countdown" on the 19th. BEAST is currently having a contest for the name of the dance in their comeback and title song 'Fiction.'

As soon as BEAST’s first official album was released on the 17th, their title track, ‘Fiction’ as well as all the other tracks in the album became #1 to 10 on online music sites, sweeping the charts.


Not only are they sweeping the online charts ‘Fiction and Fact’ topped online album sales as soon as pre-orders started, standing strong.


There have been positive reviews about BEAST’s new album, saying BEAST has utilized their full colour that has been built up over the past albums. Also, fans have been saying “I want to see them on stage real soon” and “Please show us the best performance” in full anticipation of their comeback.


The much anticipated group BEAST will be having their comeback stage for ‘Fiction and Fact’ on cable channel Mnet ‘s ‘M Countdown’ on the 19th.


On this day, they are planning to sing their title track ‘Fiction’ and their pre-released track ‘On Rainy Days’. To fully deliver the feelings of these two very different songs, the M Countdown staff are said to be committed to preparing two different stage sets.


For the performance of ‘On Rainy Days’ they will build an atmosphere where it seems to really be raining* and for their title track ‘Fiction’, like the title suggests, the performance atmosphere will be unrealistic and dreamy, fascinating the eyes and ears of the audience.
