HyunA sheds tears while talking about the future

HyunA shared something that’s been troubling her.
While recording for an upcoming episode of KBS 2TV‘s ‘Talk Show Do Dream‘, HyunA revealed, “I’m not sure whether I’m living my life properly. I’m worried about the future.”
“Though I’m making more money than most kids my age, I’m afraid that when I finally bring that money to my parents, my mom will no longer be there,” she said, while shedding a few tears.
It seems although HyunA is making good money, she has some concerns that she’s not spending much time with her family.

Gayoon to make her acting debut in ‘Light and Shadow’

 Gayoon will be transforming into a hit ’80s singer for MBC‘s ‘Light and Shadow‘.
Gayoon is making her first attempt at a drama role at this week’s filming. She’ll be playing the role of Hyun Kyung, the leader of the 1980s’ most popular group ‘Purple Sisters’.
It is expected that ‘Purple Sisters’ will deliver a powerful performance, and introduce current viewers to the flashy retro outfits that cement their status as the true trend setters of the era. The girls of 4minute have been known for trendy styles themselves, and Gayoon is transforming into a 1980s diva this time around.
Hyun Kyung is an important character in the drama so only after much careful thinking did Gayoon decide to play the role.
She revealed her thoughts on acting in ‘Light and Shadow’ saying, “It is an honor to be working with senior actors in this production. I am even more excited and looking forward to this role because my character is a singer. I will be a different singer than the one I am on stage, and this will be my first time acting so I will be showing a new side to myself. I will be studying acting more closely and preparing to show a new fashion style based on ’80s fashion.”
The producers behind ‘Light and Shadow’ talked about adding Gayoon to the show stating, “We were looking for someone who can sing, dance, has fashion sense, and someone with a cafe singer type of charm, so we looked into the main vocalists of performing groups. Gayoon, who has been known as a fashionista, is transforming into an ’80s diva, and will bring a new kind of energy to this production.”

4Minute reveals their stress over airport fashion

The spotlight on airport fashion has always been a hot issue for celebrities and the like, and it seems like it’s no different for the ladies of 4Minute.
The girls shared their story on the latest ‘Issue and People’ episode, stating that they feel “stressed to look their best for airport pictures.”
“In the past, we didn’t feel the need to dress up for the occasion,” stated Sohyun, “But then all the sudden, a great deal of attention came to celebrities and their airport fashion.”
“A lot of journalists then started to do articles compiling the best dressers to the worst, ” continued Sohyun, “And ever since then, we started taking our airport style a lot more seriously.”
“Also, a lot of celebrities are sponsored by different brands to wear for public outings and such,” said Jihyun, “We once had to sit through a long flight to Brazil. Naturally, we would have liked to dress comfortably, but we had to dress up as we were conscious of the airport pictures. We also accept one or two sponsored items to wear, but refuse to be sponsored for the whole outfit.”
The girls were then asked to choose to best dresser out of 4Minute. Hyuna went ahead and chose Gayoon, stating, “Gayoon can put her own twist on anything, even if she wears the same thing that everyone else wears. She has a great figure.”
Meanwhile, 4Minute is busy promoting their brand new single “Volume Up”
