In a recent newspaper interview, 4minute confessed "We're not close to idols who share the same age as ours. Even if we don't do it on a regular basis either, there are no friends with whom we'd promptly go out. We get friendlier with adults easily."
When we asked the reason why there wasn't any idol of the same age they were close to, 4minute answered "Because the songs we've promoted gave powerful vibes, we think it made us look rough." They intended to get closer to idols thanks to the staff's entourage but they explained that it wouldn't go further.
It can also be explained by the members' preferences : "Instead of forcing ourselves to hang out with people, we want to build relationships that last long, in a natural way". In fact, besides Hyunah, 4minute isn't a group that appears much on variety programs so the chances to create bonds naturally with celebrities are small.
This is why they got closer with Jung Hyungdon and Kim Yongman, the MCs of MBC Bouquet, a show on which they were fixed guests. The members said "It's easier for us to get friendly with adults and, when we're filming the show after a while, we get even closer and more comfortable with Jung Hyungdon and Kim Yongman."
They went on "The members can rely on one another and really trust each other, there is no one else of which we could think the same." They started to get chatty and expressed their wish "When people see us playing, they're surprised. They can see we're not rough. We want to get closer with fellow singers."
Meanwhile, 4minute released their first full-length album '4Minutes Left' on April 5th and are carrying out promotion activities for their two title tracks 'Mirror, Mirror' and 'Heart to Heart'. In particular 'Mirror, Mirror' has swept various online weekly charts and is one of the most popular songs at the moment.
