4minute touches base in Taiwan

As we reported earlier, Cube Entertainment artists 4minute and  BEAST recently touched base in Taiwan as their first international tour with Universal Music, hence HyunA & BEAST's absences on music shows this week. After arriving the other day, the 4minute girls appeared on the Taiwanese variety show 100% Entertainment (???????) for an episode that was broadcast earlier today. Despite the language barrier, the segment flowed well and showed off the girls' charm. And I'm especially loving their overall look today - all five members have great outfits & pretty hairstyles, especially Jiyoon's longer hair, which gives her a more feminine touch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoHUkww5G1I Check out Sohyun & HyunA's dorky dance moves at 1:30-5! The segment kicked off with the host Xiao Zhu greeting to the girls and making a fail Engrish request at 0:25 to introduce themselves. Xiao Zhu then asked, "The first stop on this promotional tour is Taiwan. Why pick Taiwan?" "Actually, it's not like we chose Taiwan - Taiwan chose us," leader Jihyun expressed. "When we heard that there was much interest about 4minute in Taiwan, and when someone invited us to an event, we quickly accepted happily. We've always really wanted to come to Taiwan." After that, the two hosts briefly showed off their 4minute trivia knowledge, performing the girls' signature Hot Issue brush-back-the-hair-strand move, then asking Jiyoon why she wasn't wearing sunglasses. "I usually wear sunglasses but I took them off for Taiwan," the rapper replied with a laugh. 4minute has been doing extremely well on the Taiwanese music market, recently beating Super Junior and SNSD to claim #1 on various charts. So will be seeing more of 4minute in Taiwan after this event? "We think we match Taiwan a lot, so we'd like to come often in the future," Jihyun answered. Gayoon added, "I have friends in Taiwan so I've watched Taiwanese idol dramas [that featured the Xiao Zhu] in the past. You're very handsome. ... My friends sit beside me and translate for me." BEAST and 4minute will be performing a joint concert on the 23rd, and it has been revealed that the girls will unveil a never-before-heard track at this event. 4minute and BEAST held their first press conference earlier today as well in the CTS Taiwan Lobby. More than 2000 people gathered in front of the building, so the organizers had to reduce the event to 200 people in order to prevent accidents.
