The girls displaying their affection to the crowd

Contrary to their Baroque styled outfit they were dressed in during their concert on Sunday, they were dressed in very simple and colourful getups, with their personal traits enhancing the elegance of the overall impression, which gained unanimous approval from the crowd. They proceeded to greet the fans with their signature demeanour before sitting down for the Question and Answer Session hosted by DJ Ken.

Similarly to Mr. Park Chong Min, they shared their opinions on Singaporean contestants, mainly from the first season. When asked about food, Sohyun was seen to be extremely excited, and fans were in a treat as they saw the maknae (youngest) of the group accidentally displaying her aegyo (cuteness) with her eager response to Ken’s question. Unsurprisingly, the crowd felt that it was necessary to acknowledge her cuteness by shouting her name out loud.
4minute then shared some values that one must have in the process of evolving to be a star, and indicated that perseverance and hard-work is the essential mindset to success. They inspired the many hopefuls to participate in tvN K-Pop Star Hunt 2, whereby the winner is entitled to professional training and grooming by the esteemed entertainment company they debuted from, CUBE Entertainment.
