Hyuna story in “There’ll Be No Spotlight If You Stop Now”, by Hong Seung Sung

A little excerpt about Kim Hyun-a (4MINUTE member) [Hong Appa’s Book Translations]

When I firmly decided to start Cube Entertainment, I called Hyuna everyday to persuade her parents to allow her to return to the stage. Firm on her decision to never come back she even turned off her phone, acting like she was breaking off ties forever. However I continued to try and persuade them. No, clinging is a more accurate word. ‘Mother, Father, I’m sure you know how talented she is. I would like to help her return to the stage after she recovers. That is her path as it is mine (to bring her back)’ After a while I was given the chance to persuade Hyuna face to face. ‘Hyuna, everyone has a rebellious period in life. Sickness can be cured in time. You already got a lot better. It’s not a sickness that can kill you so if you don’t work on achieving your dreams, don’t you think you will regret it later on? Think about the times you endured as a trainee. There is probably nothing you can’t do. That is why people always say to go back to the beginning. Think about what you wanted to do when you were dancing in the JYP practice rooms. I will help you find and achieve an even bigger dream. I hope for you to become an even stronger Hyuna.’ Maybe because I’ve been around trainees like Hyuna for so long, I could understand her pain. I wanted to be a person who was strong and warm like a father so that she could whine to me whenever she was having a difficult time. Were my honest feelings delivered well? The next day after I saw her I received a call from her. ‘Father. I want to start training again.’

Sohyun received her sex-education from Cube Entertainment's CEO?

Most girls receive their sex-ed in health class, or from their parents, but Sohyun got it from someone who isn't exactly her father.

She recently recorded for KBS 2TV's 'Full House'. During the recording, the topic brought up to the guest panel was, "If my daughter says she's going on a trip with her boyfriend, should I just let her go and pretend I don't know anything?"

Sohyun's opinion? No way! When she was asked to further elaborate, she said, "My label CEO told me, if boys hold your hand, they want to kiss you. After they kiss you, they want to hold you. They're all the same. My label CEO teaches me a lot about the adult world and sex education, just like he's my father. But he didn't tell me if I should meet a lot of guys or if I should stay away."

4minute the new trend for Clubs, Why?

Girl group 4minute’s April and June releases of ‘What’s Your Name’ and ‘Is It Poppin?’ respectively are driving a whole new trend in clubs, hence, 4minute have become the ‘Queens of Clubs’.

The two title tracks have recently turned into representative songs for club culture as club DJs would definitely play these songs.

‘What’s Your Name? What’s your phone number?’ lyrics that can be found in ‘What’s Your Name’ asks the opposite sex for their name and telephone number which we usually see in clubs, therefore the song creates more fun factor to the clubbing atmosphere.

Whenever this song plays, clubbers would strike gestures to people beside them, asking their names and telephone numbers as they have fun listening to ‘What’s Your Name’.

Surprisingly, 4minute’s recent release ‘Is It Poppin’ further brought them the ”Queens of Clubs’ title. ‘Is It Poppin’ has a part that goes, ‘(You/I) like people who looks pretty and dances well and have fun’, which is also the reason why club DJs commonly use this song to raise the overall atmosphere in clubs.

With the growth of such trend, 4minute have received invitation to perform in a few famous clubs across the nation. The hot responses for their performance in these clubs are currently being considered by 4minute.

Meanwhile, 4minute will soon be performing a ;19+ ‘Poolside Party’ at a club, along with DJ DOC.
