4MINUTE

4MINUTE has disbanded.

According to the agency's explanation, the name 4MINUTE expresses the goal of winning fans' hearts with each member's charm during a four-minute stage performance, roughly the length of one song. In Korean it is read "Pominit," and in English the name is written in capital letters as 4MINUTE.

4MINUTE debuted on June 15, 2009, with the release of the single "Hot Issue," and held its first debut stage on June 18. From the debut song onward, the group drew attention with bold, distinctive dance tracks that set the tone for its career.

At the time of its disbandment, 4MINUTE belonged to Cube Entertainment. The group's releases, performances and official announcements were handled through this agency. Today the former members work under different companies, so the most accurate information comes from each member's own official channels.

4MINUTE's fandom was called 4NIA. The name keeps the number four from the group's name and refers to the fans who supported 4MINUTE throughout its career. Even after the disbandment, fans still use the name 4NIA as they remember the group's performances.

Widely known 4MINUTE songs include "Muzik," "HuH," "Mirror Mirror," "Volume Up" and "What's Your Name?" Many of them feature strong beats and catchy, repetitive choruses. If you are new to the group, these songs are a good place to begin listening.

4MINUTE was known for distinctive dance-pop and a confident "girl crush" image. Many of its songs mixed in hip-hop and R&B elements, and this style earned the group strong support from female fans as well. Watching stage videos alongside the music shows the group's identity clearly.

"Hate" is a 4MINUTE song released in 2016, and it drew attention because American producer Skrillex took part in producing it. The track puts an electronic sound front and center. The year before, the group released "Crazy," continuing its bold and intense style.

Yes. 4MINUTE had a sub-unit called 2YOON, made up of members Gayoon and Jiyoon. It debuted in 2013 with the album Harvest Moon and offered music with a different mood from the full group. Listening to the sub-unit's songs too lets you enjoy the group's music more broadly.

If you are new, start with the debut song "Hot Issue" and the widely known "Muzik." Then listen to "HuH" and "Volume Up," and finish with "Crazy" and "Hate." Following this order lets you feel how the group's music changed over the years.

4MINUTE was active from 2009 to 2016 before disbanding, so the most accurate way to follow the members today is through each member's own official channels. Each member has a different agency and field of work, so rely on official announcements. Please avoid spreading unconfirmed rumors or following their private lives.
