That HYUNA is still with CUBE Agency, *probably* means that the other 4MINUTE members are leaving her alone pretty much for now. MAYBE after some time has passed, that might change. And probably that depends on HYUNA's role in 4MINUTE Group dissolving. Which, DIFFICULT to know that for now, and maybe for a LONG time from now too.

When 4MINUTE Group was formed, it was fairly CLEAR at the time that HYUNA was the 'BIG FISH' to 'anchor' the Group. I am merely noting that this 'biased' situation towards HYUNA should NOT have come as completely unexpected. But I can see that over time, the *other* members of 4MINUTE Group would HOPE that 'matters' became a bit more 'even handed' between the members. Which, that did not much happen. But, look at SUZY and 'MISS A' Group. Which, one can argue that there is quite a bit of similarity there too (my view). SEOLHYUN in AOA Group also comes to mind as a 'biased' type situation. ALL the Group members of a given K-pop Group dream to be the 'BIG FISH' of the Group. But it seems to only happen for ONE of them mostly.

fact still remains that everyone unfollowed Hyuna on instagram all at the same time more or less, and no one has ever said anything about why that is, if they r so close. I hope it's just a weird misshap, but it would be nice to atleast get an explanation of it.

If you read the whole interview, she mentions the members but not Hyuna, Hyuna once said in "if I were them I will hate me TOO"... I think that she meant that the four of them are good...

Yes, I tend to AGREE with you that it is like 95% certain that JIYOON was referring to being 'close' with those past members of 4MINUTE *not* currently associated with CUBE Agency (so NOT HYUNA). Which, that should NOT be surprising either. And it does NOT prove that HYUNA did somehow 'back stab' other 4MINUTE Group members in any way either. I would argue that it is MORE likely that CUBE AGENCY did 'push the idea' that HYUNA and CUBE AGENCY were 'better off' with HYUNA as a SOLO ACT. And also, JIYOON said words that SEEMED to suggest that there was like about 6 MONTHS prior to 4MINUTE disbanding, where *all* 4MINUTE members were discussing their situation as to continuing 4MINUTE Group or not. Which, it was NOT an 'out of nowhere' situation for the members, that 4MINUTE Group did dissolve, is what I mean to say it. Again, a 7 YEARS LONG RUN for 4MINUTE Group is NOT so bad overall. HOPEFULLY, the BANK ACCOUNTS of the ex-4MINUTE members do REFLECT that too.

im pretty sure thats just because they disbanded and didn't want to mislead any fans about getting back together...and honestly there could be many other possiblities.

ok i do see your point there, and i DID read the whole article, but idk man. i just feel like even with big matters like a disbandment, friendship doesn't just go away. maybe they aren't as close as before but i think they'd still support one another. i wouldn't go as far as saying they hate one another.

Yes, I think that HYUNA did ENJOY to perform in 4MINUTE Group. And she liked well personally the other members of the 4MINUTE Group. However, to keep the 4MINUTE Group going, might have required a *sizable* FINANCIAL SACRIFICE (so LESS MONEY) for HYUNA. Which, can you put a 'DOLLAR VALUE' on friendship? My answer, is that, in this situation, somewhat, YOU CAN. K-pop Fans do NOT really know the FINANCES of the decision that caused 4MINUTE Group to end. But, I have to say, that it SEEMS like there *should* have been a 'pathway' to keep 4MINUTE Group going somehow. But also, maybe the COMPROMISES that CUBE Agency wanted from 'those members NOT named HYUNA' were TOO GREAT too. HYUNA had the SOLO options going for her (and TROUBLE MAKER duo), and the other 4MINUTE members did NOT have that. And likely, CUBE Agency was NOT looking to try to create SOLO options for anyone else other than HYUNA either. The 2YOON duo Group (4MINUTE sub unit) did NOT 'catch fire' in popularity exactly. So, CUBE Agency looks at it as 'wasting money' on that which is NOT contributing to their CUBE AGENCY PROFITS (my view).

Yes, I think It was a money issue the main problem to keep 4minute together.....but still weird, they were one of the biggest grups in CUBE right? I think there is the money probem too, but also I think it was the girls desision too. =\

IDEALLY, you want your Female K-pop Group to be TWICE Group in AGES of the members. Which, 4MINUTE Group was 7 YEARS beyond that, in terms of AGES of the members. Which, that is yet ANOTHER consideration. Was 4MINUTE *ever* going to have that BIG HIT that lifted them up to say more the level of GIRL's DAY or EXID Groups? Sadly, 4MINUTE was more like 'treading water' at the same level, over and over.

JM999 krell • Tuesday, November 1, 2016

I understend that, but remember when they win #1 with "Whatcha Doin Today" over SNSD and 2NE1 XD, that was epic for them!!! I don't know how big they were in Korea, but they definitely had a more mature image, which i prefere ( I really don't like cute concepts like Twice or Gfriend), but I think koreans prefer more innocent girly stuff, and "Hate", the last cameback, was very strong and aggressive, in a good way, but in Korea didn't succeed....=\.

Some have stated the viewpoint here on AKP that 4MINUTE Group *should* have been 'targeted' more at OTHER ASIAN NATIONS (say JAPAN, PRChina, etc) than CUBE Agency did it. As you say, the S.KOREANS tend to go with the TWICE Group type concepts as more popular. Which, AGE wise, 4MINUTE Group was NOT that after awhile. Anyway, you make some GOOD points in my view.
