for sponsoring today's video and now
back to my video and like I always like
to do this videos before looking forward
I always
to look back back to 2009 4-minute
coming out of cube entertainment debuted
with the song hot issue 4-minute had
hype immediately for the debut because a
girl that left Wonder Girls would be
joining this new group that girl was
Hyuna and an interesting fact here
4-minute was initially called Hyuna
group now whether that was a co name or
foreshadowing I that I don't know while
promoting their debut single on music
shows four minutes personal van was
broken into and some items were stolen
it was a really different time back then
with far less security but that in a
stop in meant it released their first
mini-album music and then while trying
to promote a b-side on that album was
banned for having sexualized lyrics not
suitable for broadcast that was just a
small hurdle as 4-minute snatched her
first win on Inkigayo with the title
track music with a pretty successful
debut year under their belt 2010 was the
year of growth for 4-minute cube signed
a joint venture with the universal music
for 4-minute to promote and debut all
around Asia in Taiwan Philippines
Thailand Hong Kong and of course Japan
and during the summer of 2010 4-minute
released a mini-album called hit your
heart with the title track huh featuring
the boy group also from Cuban attainment
known as beast yes
all my old-school k-pop fans know what
I'm talking about
so quickly beast used to be a hugely
popular boy group also from cube in the
early 2000s or so I'll probably save
this for maybe I what happened to be
video but they're known as highlight now
and kind of kind of don't know what
their future is gonna be like anyways
hop peaked at number three on the guy on
single charts afterwards 4-minute
continued to promote in neighboring
countries in Asia most notably at the
Singapore Youth Olympic Games and
performing alongside beast and GNA in
the beginning of 2011 putting in the
work saw 4-minute win a monumental award
at the 20th Seoul Music Awards the girls
1d bun saying
or basically is an award given to
artists who dominated in album and
digital sales all night voting from fans
and a group of judges not only that
before manic kind of became a model and
a major ambassador for kpop across the
world attending Tokyo Fashion Show and
performing they're going to Thailand for
the music way concert really 4-minute
helped kpop grow as a music and as a
Korean culture in a major export
4-minute continue with the bops with
Mirror Mirror and again they were just
told damn sexy the original choreography
had a move where they spread their legs
and music producers demand they change
it and they did but that didn't stop
Mira Mira as it peaked at number 2 on
the guy on chart still not hitting that
number 1 but it's coming as we all know
almost every group has a very popular
member it's kind of just how things are
and with a group originally called Hana
group it was piana on July 5th 2011
Hyuna debuted solo with the absolutely
legendary song bubble pop is just a sex
goddess again even holding Hina back
bubble pop promotions ended prematurely
by Korea Communications Commission
review committee probably for being too
sexy again and still bubble pop became a
viral hit on YouTube by hitting 10
million views in less than a year and
personal experience here I kind of got
into kpop through Kangnam style and
seeing Kona featured in there and it
suggests a video being bubble pop and
then watching bubble pop I was like oh
my god this is gonna change my life
forever 2012 woods really wouldn't
4-minute broke into the top of the kpop
world with the new release volume up
a go crush before go crush was even a
thing and a sexy saxophone hook volume
up epitomized second generation of kpop
and gain 4-minute another win this time
on M Countdown but this hit it also
brought four minutes to the US for the
first time ever by performing in
California for kcon 2012-2013 had
4-minute riding high as they release
their 4th mini-album with these single
what's your name what's your name was
one of the dozens and dozens of hit
songs produced by the Brave Brothers you
know the songs that start with brave
sound
[Music]
yeah they dominated kpop in the early
2000s and even till this day with
chart-topping songs
what's your name was forming his first
song to hit number one on the guy on
chart and also number one on the
billboards kpop Hot 100 chart keeping up
the pace 4-minute released a summer song
is it poppin 4-minute can't seem to
catch a break as again this song was
unfit for broadcasts because get this
the lyrics had the English word ass what
you doing today would be four minutes
next comeback and it was a giant slayer
the reason I say that is because the
song debuted at number one
beating out 21 and Girls Generation on
Inkigayo as Foreman acclaimed than
number one spot
[Music]
imagine that kind of like an underdog
story this is 21 and Girls Generation
we're talking about David and Goliath
except it's to David's weight Goliath
there's a big one except his to Goliath
is Goliath except this to Goliath this
is and one David 2015 was just like the
previous year 4-minute was planning a
return with her sixth EP with the title
track say it along with me see are easy
why
[Music]
which i think and a lot of people would
agree with me is four minutes most
iconic song ever a high-energy sexy and
very 4-minute sound all in black and
white with a dance that really stuck
again 4-minute topped the charts this
time debuting at number one on the
Billboard world albums chart one year
later in 2017 4-minute would have
released their seventh of mini album act
7 which is one of my favorite kpop
albums ever don't know why but I just
love it and the Tanner track was a very
unique one that had a lead producer on
the track none other than Skrillex no
idea how this happened but it did and
this is where hate was made love it or
hate it you see what I did there hate
was a one-of-a-kind k-pop song that
nobody has ever seen before sadly only
months later an announcement was made
that nobody saw coming cube
Entertainment announced 4-minute would
be disbanding after their contracts
expire the only member to resign with
cube was Hyuna we gotta know how that
turned out for cube the reason as to why
Foreman it disbanded could be chalked up
to another victim of the seven-year
curse but there's much more to it yes
their contracts did expire but the
members actually wanted to resign and
continue but Cube had other motives in
an interview member chunji Yun said this
even before we started thinking about
individual paths we wanted to take our
contracts ended and it was pretty
chaotic honestly it felt like we were
finding out about our disbandment
through the reports we weren't thinking
about disbanding when we saw the reports
of dis payment we thought ah so this is
what happened and calmly started tidying
things up but why but why would cube not
keep four minutes is four minutes
CLC was the only girl group in cube
aside from 4-minute and they've only
been active for barely three years
without really a big hit yet the reason
why could be lying within the group Yona
Yona before joining 4-minute was already
known from Wonder Girls 4-minute was
called Jana group before being called
for a minute
it was almost written in the stars you
know was a thriving solo artist during
forming his career and still to this day
it's kind of a double-edged sword you
know being so popular may have helped
the group and may have hurt the group at
the same time but Cube wanted hyun-ah
more that's the move they made and it
may have been the right choice if it
didn't blow up in their faces with
hiyaaaaa and edawn announcing that
they're officially dating and then cube
lost it all
so with four minutes a group that
actually could have lasted longer but
didn't actually accomplished a lot in
their career a huge ambassador for kpop
on a global scale
maybe not reaching the heights of Girls
Generation or 21 as far as I you know
coming to America working with
international producers and things like
that but they did it their own way and
still having the most memorable hits in
kpop history so that's what happened to
4-minute thank you guys for watching
