The sexy ladies of 4minute recently took part in a photoshoot with "CECI" magazine from the set of their upcoming music video! The members also shared some deep thoughts on their careers and on each other. Check it out below! - Jun Ji Yoon: "When you receive attention from the public, it's inevitable that there are times when you become the center of gossip and hate. In the face of such hate, our members decided to take it all in with modesty, and show our improvements in return. Still, we were quite hurt; comments that judged our musical qualities as 'poor' drove daggers into our hearts. Unlike other girl groups, we have a boyish, powerful charm that sets us apart, and we want people to feel that passion on stage. Ever since our debut, our team mantra has been: 'Not the best, but the only.' We will stand on stage with every ounce of strength we have in order for our talents to be acknowledged. All of us are of the attitude that it's not the size of the stage that matters, but the opportunity itself. We hope to become a team that is able to pull off different songs, styles, and performances with determination." Kim HyunA: "It's definitely an honor that we received a 'New Artist' award at the '2010 Billboard Japan Awards', in addition to having so many opportunities to tour overseas. There are so many times where I'm touched because of the heartwarming moments from our international fans; a fan would give me medicine when I'm seen coughing, or they would memorize our lyrics and support chants in Korean and follow along with us as we perform. I'm pursuing this career path because I randomly thought that I wanted to 'dance and sing' when I was standing before a stoplight during my third year of elementary school, but there was never one moment where I felt secure. I think it's because every new day presented a new opportunity to learn that I was able to enjoy my long years of training. It's the same now, because with each visit overseas, we gain experience and learn new things. To me, the only way you can be absolutely sure of anything is to put in the time and effort. Assurance is measured by the time and effort you put into something." Heo Gayoon: "If someone were to ask me to give up something in my dorm in exchange for a diamond, without hesitation, I'd respond, 'You can take everything except my members.' I'm curious as to how far, how long, and what kind of stages we'll create under the name of '4minute'. I want to find out for ourselves, but I know that I have the confidence to go far and long if it's with the five of us. With our comeback album in April, you'll be able to see just how much stronger we've become. Not only the members, but the composers, writers, choreographers, stylists, and many others are all giving up countless nights in order to achieve a stronger image in style, choreography, and our music." Kwon Sohyun: "I dreamt of becoming an actress before I joined the idol group 'Orange' when I was in elementary school. We didn't achieve great results at the time, so I gave up my dream of becoming a singer. I saw a senior at my school pursue her dreams of becoming a singer and debut in the industry, which made me feel an inferiority complex. It was at that moment that I realized what I truly wanted to do. I was not a trainee when I first joined Cube Entertainment; I was at a 'preparation level' where I had to pass skills tests every three months in order to remain with the company. It's easy for anyone to feel nervous with such an opaque future ahead of them, so I took small steps and focused on one goal at a time. My initial goal was to become a trainee and I worked with full force towards that. That habit has remained with me even now because I still focus on one day at a time. To me, it's more important to overcome and withstand the present as opposed to worrying over a future you'll never know. I'm satisfied with the present, and my efforts in learning how to prevent myself from being idle." Source: CECI
