4Minute_030709

4Minute HyunA has expressed her regrets and unsatisfactory with their performance of WonderGirls hit song ‘Tell Me’ on 2nd July on Mnet M!Countdown, revealing that they had little time for practice for the song.

The girls had transformed into the WonderGirls members and performed the hit ‘Tell Me’ on the show. And after the performance, HyunA, “The time we were given for practice is not enough. It is a pity because we wanted to show a more perfect performance. But I am really happy because I was reminded of my past memories through this performance.”

It was the period for end-term examinations, and the girls had to board an airplane to GwangJoo for their performance.

Meanwhile, HyunA had left WonderGirls in 2007 when the girls were preparing to promote the song ‘Tell Me’ on reasons of health problems. She had even filmed for the MV to the song back then.

Her company said, “HyunA has also good feelings towards WonderGirls, and she had brought with her the good old memories with her performing on the stage. It would be great that fans enjoyed the performance too.”

    i think this girl should really work hard,…if her fans said she is good way back then ,..then they should be saying she’s better now,..and not the other way around,…
    but they are rookies,..right?so i’ll give them more time especially HYUNA to prove herself,…but don’t make another excuses,…JUST PROVE THEY CAN MAKE IT<…
    Gud Luck!!!

  3. grammarbook, on July 4, 2009 at 4:18 pm said:

    HYUNA, please be happy with 4 minutes and try to concentrate with 4 minutes. Forget about WG. You are no longer in WG. You have new group and if u lack in practice, u shouldnt mentioned it. It shows that you are weak. Please move on with 4 minutes!!!!!

  4. abbyish, on July 4, 2009 at 6:52 am said:

    well… i admit it that they have the beauty but they don’t have the talent to prove to the people that they deserve to be on the stage.. Koreans now a days don’t pay much attention on groups with no guts and no capabilities.. if they every have anyfans well. i must say they only like thier external factor but not the internal which is very important..
    plus.. they make crappy songs and cover…. so embarrassing for them to perform songs in which they don’t do any thing better…
    and it just wonders me that their letter ji hyun don’t ever get much exposure…

    and hyun ah keeps on bragging about being an ex-WG.. hella…. she’s already in 4minute why would she keep reminding people about her past.. it really sucks

  5. asianvoicecollection, on July 4, 2009 at 5:18 am said:

    @ anonymousss,
    I’m sick of hearing so many 4Minutes fans said then HyunAh’s voice doesn’t sound like that when she was still a WG member, her voice wasn’t so high pitched, bla bla bla

    Stop saying about the past. So what if she can sing well back then???

    The fact is NOW …… she can’t sing & she has the most annoying voice in the world.
    The past isn’t important anymore (include the fact that she is ex- WG), becuase NOW she is a 4Minutes member and NOW her voice is become a chipmunk voice…..

    • emm.., on July 4, 2009 at 11:21 pm said:

      true..true…gotta agree with u on this..i like 4minute..but hyuna been taking lots of screentime..i blame CUBE on that..they shud give the other 4 to shine too..gayoon,jiyoon even the magnae have nicer voice..and ohh..please let their leader jihyun shines too..im not sure for what reason they put her in 4minute anymore..

  7. long, on July 4, 2009 at 4:02 am said:

    i’ll agree to those who said that her voice is annoying when she tries to make it sound cutesy.

    however i think people are overreacting when they say the performance sucked. i mean it wasn’t like whoa great…but i didn’t find it that bad either. it was a far from perfect performance by a rookie girl group…did you really expect something great? i mean c’mon.

    i definitely believe that with better management, these girls can be something. i just hate the way cube is handling them.

  9. anonymousss, on July 4, 2009 at 3:49 am said:

    everyone who hates HyunA is most definitely a new fan to kpop. if you heard this girl back in the day, then you should knowww she can and will do much better. people should stop being so ignorant and show respect for people who you cant even see work sometimes endlessly. thats what selfishness gets you, demands demands demands. thats why the entertainment industry feels so much pressure, because of idiots like you who dont show respect and always want more for your own satisfaction.

    yeah, her voice was very high pitch, squeaky or however you want to call it. but she can do better because I have seen her done better back in her wondergirls days.

    go yoo jin’s video teaser is really something. the voices behind the camera reminds me so much of daesung and kim jong kook. haha but i know it cant be them so :/

    • pineapple, on July 4, 2009 at 1:37 pm said:

      lol she’s always out of breath in irony performances. she even got sohee to help her rap. LMAO

    • 2pmjjang, on July 5, 2009 at 5:02 am said:

      she was no better in Irony,do you even see them live?! she’s always out of breath,Sohee even raps along with her most of the time.

      • anonymousss, on July 5, 2009 at 5:16 am said:

        thats partially the reason why she left wasnt it? she was interally ill? i believe some gastrointestinal disease if i may recall

  10. kookoo, on July 4, 2009 at 3:12 am said:

    don’t like HyunAh. She sucks.
    She can’t sing well, she’s trying too hard.
    why is she so popular? just because she was a
    former WG member? That’s dumb. She SUCKS!
    No wonder she left WG.
    NO ONE can sing better than the original song!
    Sunmi was totallyyyyyyyyyy better.
    No way 4 minute was killing it.
    4Minute sucks. It killed the song and probably night.

  11. b, on July 4, 2009 at 3:08 am said:

    so everytime 4minute delivers a bad performance, hyuna’s going to come out the following day with excuses or express her regrets?

    wtffff.
    …just suck it up and MAKE time to practice (since obviously these girls need a lot just to perform decently).
    words of regret dont prove anything – SHOW ppl you’re better than that with a good performance next time.

  12. shuggah, on July 4, 2009 at 1:10 am said:

    Yess ;] Taemin, I can’t wait for his performance!

  13. medirin, on July 4, 2009 at 1:09 am said:

    Excuses, excuses… That’s all 4minute does, make excuses for their bad performances. Jiyoon should quit this group already. She’s the only one with any talent.

  14. ferventlybreathless, on July 3, 2009 at 11:52 pm said:

    Sigh.

    Seriously, I think the only way I am going to be a fan of this group if they keep churning out songs as catchy as Hot Issue. I’ll be a fan of their songs.

    But 4minute as an idol group and more importantly as singers? No thanks.

    I don’t give a damn if you guys didn’t have enough practice, why the hell would you show up on stage if you know you don’t have what it takes.

    What this perf proves plus their existing radio covers is that most definitely this group needs to go into hiatus and undergo more vocal training.

    • Sorz, on July 4, 2009 at 12:16 am said:

      True that! Completely agree with you.

      I admit their song Hot Issue is hekka catchy, but not enough practice is not a good enough excuse.

      They really really need to tain more to give better performances.

      The cover for Milkshake scarred me..

    • jin, on July 14, 2009 at 5:59 am said:

      thats so damn true . thankyou !

  15. Wanxida, on July 3, 2009 at 10:44 pm said:

    excuse is still an excuse…
    well.. whatever…
    their voice is just W.E.I.R.D….

  16. Kawaii91, on July 3, 2009 at 10:06 pm said:

    Everyone should really stop bashing on 4minute at least they admit when they feel like they did bad and it wasnt that bad hyun ahs voice has changed a lot if anyones heard her rap in irony when she was in the WGs you can defenatly tell that theres a big difference the same with sun mi she had a deep singing voice but with tell me her voice was more higher pitched so hyun ah didnt always sound like that plus she doesnt sound bad i actually really like hyun ah and 4minute i love that they admit when they did a bad job just give them a chance i dont get why they have so many antis T-T 4Minute FTW XD

    Awwwwww Taemin playing the piano? I’m excited for that now 😀

  19. tika, on July 3, 2009 at 9:26 pm said:

    ironically I think everybody did great except hyuna. dangg I feel pity for her, RELAX girll! u’re voice is annoying, weird, ur dance is too much (I know the difference between powerful and too much), and u’re eye blinking is hurting my eyes.

    seriously I’m not her antis.. I tried to love her coz jyp is my fave company… so I said those mean things to express my worry because I want her to be success. seriously hyuna, calm down a lil bit, give the leader some spotlight

  20. angelkamille, on July 3, 2009 at 9:07 pm said:

    man i feel for hyuna T_T

    • Ver, on July 3, 2009 at 9:50 pm said:

      Me too. I’d like to knock some sense into the team in charge of 4minute.
      She seems like a pretty nice person in the behind-the-scenes stuff, and not an attention whore that some people are painting her to be. Cube is seemingly promoting them in all the wrong directions, and sometimes the stuff she does on stage only worsens it.

    • long, on July 4, 2009 at 3:55 am said:

      agreed. someone needs to get fired from cube. poor hyuna too. they are using her being an ex wg as promotion for 4minute too much (hope that made sense). they should concentrate more on showing the girls’ talents and individuality rather than asking hyuna to shoulder it all.

      and don’t bother about those netizen haters. nothing you say can ever change their narrow-minded thinking.

      in any case i still think 4minute is a decent group who has the potential to be even greater in the future…that is with better management of course.

  21. lala, on July 3, 2009 at 9:06 pm said:

    practice won’t change anything with this group with no talent whatsoever… well except for the cyclops girl… I’ll give them another few months and just like the other girl groups with NO TALENTS!!!… ahem afterschool…

  22. minbong, on July 3, 2009 at 8:44 pm said:

    No..practice doesn’t make it any better I think..why do you need to perfect a WG song?? they need to shake off the WG vibe from them and work on their vocals for chris’ sake..Especially Hyuna, guess what she is supposed to be the one to bring attention to the group but everything just went haywire when she sings..she brings BAD attention not good..=_=

  23. heed it., on July 3, 2009 at 8:43 pm said:

    hyun ah voice….omg… she really need to do something about it.
    its not really comfortable 😦

  24. asianvoicecollection, on July 3, 2009 at 8:42 pm said:

    Hyun Ah won’t sing it better even Mnet give her 1 year time to practice
    Her voice, her dance, her style…. all of it are annoying

  25. axelaTDK, on July 3, 2009 at 8:37 pm said:

    wow what an excuse… clearly 4min isn’t as good as WGs… hyuna demands too much attention to take both parts in that perf. she’s starting to rly annoy me. especially with her chipmunk voice.

    • 121, on July 3, 2009 at 9:10 pm said:

      are u serious ?!! the reason why she is getting more parts in their song or even in tell me perfromance is b/c their agency wants her to be in the spot light its not like she wents them before the perfromance and told them i want more parts and give the girls less part in all most every group someone must have more parts & the spot light than the other in big bang GD and he is the main character in ever MV in Wonder girls sunmi and sohee in snsd yoona in 2NE1 CL but does that mean they are demanding for more attention of course no and u cant compare 4 minute who just debut to wg who have been in the industry for all most 2 years now u are just looking for anything just to bash her

      • pineapple, on July 4, 2009 at 1:35 pm said:

        fuckin delusional -__-

      • 2pmjjang, on July 5, 2009 at 5:01 am said:

        well,Hyuna really did a bad job! it’s not like people were bashing her for nothing,in fact a lot of people are trying to like her even myself but after seeing this performance,her singing and rapping was totally annoying and her dancing was overdone. Seriously,she and her company should get over Wonder Girls,she’s not part of them anymore!

      • jin, on July 14, 2009 at 5:56 am said:

        LOL your statement is WRONG.
        lool, CL is the LEADER if you haven’t noticed, and the only biggest spotlight she had as 2ne1 was in fire, where she sang the chorus. In 2NE1 it actually looks like a group, where we can see all of their talents. Same goes for big bang. G dragon is the Leader, so that name tends to get him in a higher level, and he also deserves it too !. In 4minute they call a random talentless girl a leader when all she can do is couple of twirls and splits. and her voice is TERRIBLE. besides Hyunah, where she always grabs the spotlight, everyone else looks like a backup dancer.

  26. lcd, on July 3, 2009 at 8:30 pm said:

    hyuna not in wonder girls anymore. why ppl keep relating her with wg. i think ppl should get over the fact she was once in wonder girls. she is a 4 minutes member now. so, she should build her name again with 4 minutes. not reminiscing the old memories.

  27. rockcrystal, on July 3, 2009 at 8:09 pm said:

    noooo! that was horrible. Hyuna sang like chipmunk, and their cheorogra… ahh… i can dance better haha. Hyuna`s odd eyes???? maybe she wanted to be like Sunmi.but it didn`t work haha.

    • 121, on July 3, 2009 at 8:53 pm said:

      now that is a lie rockrystal the girl can dance and she is a strong poweful dancer and if u think u are better i will be more than happy to see u dancing and to see how good u are and u can upload ur video in youtube ;p
      god just give the girl a break since she debut along with girls everyone is bashing them for no reason
      didnt u read she expressed her regrets and wished if they done better in their tell me performance and yet u still decided to bash her and if u think she is not good in dancing or singing just wish her to improve

      if u like it or not as u are calling her the girl who sing like chipmuck is getting popular everyday and u anti cant do nothing about it

      • jin, on July 14, 2009 at 5:53 am said:

        she isn’t a great dancer at all. What good is power if she can’t match it to the beat all?
        We really don’t care if she had regrets for it. Why? cuhs thats all for attention. -_- an excuse for the horrible perf.

  28. 121, on July 3, 2009 at 8:01 pm said:

    i think the girls did a great job but i think hyuna must work in her vocal and good thing about the girls that when they do mistakes they admite that they done mistakes and they will work hard on it beisde i think they are improving
