[NEWS] 4minute's Sohyun, Revealed a Young Photo, Proof as a 'Natural Beauty'





Girl group 4minute's member Kwon Sohyun proved as a 'natural beauty'.

Kwon Sohyun uploaded a photo on 27th July on her Twitter with a caption, "Haha this is when I'm young. I'm looking at the photo after a long time, it's fresh."

We can see her image when she was an elementary school student with starry eyes in two braids. If we compare the photo with her current look, we can see that there's no change. She showed off her 'natural beauty' look confidently.

Netizens showed their responses, "It's really cute" "Wow it's the same" "Your pose is also cute~".

Meanwhile, Kwon Sohyun debuted with a group called "Orange" before 4minute.

"Orange" debuted in 2005 with 3 elementary school students as their members. They did various activities as children.

[NEWS] 4minute, Reasons Why They Unfortunately Missed the Opportunity of Europe Expansion




Recently, representative music agencies of South Korea have showed their interest in European expansion. Cube Entertainment (4minute, BEAST, etc) revealed that they had the opportunity for an expansion before, but unfortunately missed it.

The main character in Cube's European expansion is 4minute. They debuted in June 2009 with 'Hot Issue' and a follow-up song right after, called 'Muzik'. Cube explained that their Youtube videos had received so much love from Europe. 4minute fans said that 'Muzik' is their best song. It's an electronic dance song by Shinsadong Tiger and songs with the electronic genre are very popular in Europe. Because of the popularity, they received an offer of a 'Club Tour of 5 Main European Countries'.

A representative from Cube Entertainment showed their disappointment, "It was a club tour in England, France, Italy, Spain, etc. We couldn't do it back then." The reason that they had to give up on the tour is because one of their members is a minor that couldn't enter the club. They revealed, "We unfortunately gave up on the club tour because one of the members (Kwon Sohyun, 1994) is a minor that can't enter the club."

Cube Entertainment could achieve the opportunity again this year. 4minute member Hyunah's solo song 'Bubble Pop' has been chosen as 'Song of the Day' on 'popjustice.com', an UK professional pop site. And BEAST's hit song 'Fiction' has reached no. 63 on a Germany music site. They also received an opportunity to hold a 'Cube Family Concert' on 19th November in London (4minute, BEAST, G.NA, etc) and become a hot news in Europe.
