4minute wants you to call collect

4minute_20090625

Being a “hot issue” makes you a hot commodity.

It’s only been a week since 4minute debuted, but that doesn’t mean they can’t take a break from performing and actually make some money. A few days ago, 4minute got an endorsement deal with TB Jeans (TBJ), a clothing brand that appeals to South Korean youths who enjoy casual street fashion. How were these girls able to land this gig other than their colorful fashion sense? TBJ have endorsed artists from JYP Entertainment, of which Cube Entertainment is a sister company, in the past, such as the Wondergirls, 2AM, and Rain. So it’s obvious that connections can go a long way.

In addition to that, it has just been announced that the girls scored another endorsement deal with Onse Telecom Collect Call 1667, one of the three collect call numbers in Korea. Apparently, Onse Telecom felt that 4minute’s fresh image fits well with the advertisement they have in mind. Look forward to some “hot issue” telephone CFs featuring the girls in the possible future.

    Curious, does anybody know why the short hair bob’d girl is always wearing shades..even indoors? My theory was she mustve done surgery and the swelling hasn’t gone down or something..I can see why during photo shoots and commercials but live radio talk shows..:T.

      I think it’s just the image that they want her to uphold. Like a lot of the times when groups go on radio shows, they go in their stage wardrobes (altho usually toned down a lil). Like if you look at the Colonize photos from a previous post, which I doubt were taken that long ago, her eyes look fine. Just a guess though. I doubt it’s surgery cover-up because it would be way too obvious, and they usually do surgery way in advance of their debuts, rather than right before.

      it’s part of the “concept”, apparently LOL
      but her eyes are fine and she’s really pretty, too =)

    I love their outfits i love their song too and i’m very excited for them they are doing really great for a new girl group!
    and people who say they are first its kinda annoying plus i don’t care if you put your commets and then say your first but if you put your first in another box that is just wrong and is taking up space for people who really want to write somthing that is acutally really intresting…

    It’s the image that girl HAS to go for. Her name is JiYoon and she really wants to take of her glasses at times, but company/stylist won’t let her. Kinda sucks eh? but she can rock them I guess. And no she’s NOT ugly if you guys are thinking that she’s a beauty if you ask me.

    LOl there’s actually a picture of Jiyoon without glasses

    I’d rather use 001. Gong gong il… LOL

    Whoa. Happy for them. After all those “Copycats” accusations by fans,they still had the chance to have their own endorsement.

    I love their style.XD. I won’t wonder of clothing companies would love to have them as somewhat like “models” I’d say (I forgot the word to use)

    They’re starting to have their own “image” now,without the shadow of 2NE1 and After School.
