[POP Quiz] Who is this bright eyed mop top?

4minute_jiyoon_20090701

Did you guess correctly? Here’s one more school photo to possibly help you out. Maybe this might be too hard because her eyes can be misleading. Why? Not because she has technically gotten work done on them, but rather…

…it’s because she wears sunglasses all the time! It’s 4minute’s Jun Ji-yoon. Turns out she has eyes after all. No surprise there. 4minute is sure on the up and up, since they won “Rookie of the Month” on Cyworld for the month of June.

Although ex-Wondergirls Hyun-ah may have originally been the headliner for 4minute before their debut, Ji-yoon has stolen the spotlight with her “Hot Issue“ persona as permanent sunglasses wearer. Got to sport those sunglasses onstage, backstage, on set, outdoor, indoor, no matter what the occasion. That girl can’t take off those babies because she is contractually obligated to maintain that image by Cube Entertainment as revealed on “Park Kyung-lim’s Starry Night” radio show.

Don’t get into a frenzy though, folks. She’ll reveal those sparkly eyes soon enough during one of their “Hot Issue” performances. So far, the picture shown below is the only recent photo released of Ji-yoon sans sunglasses. Do you like Ji-yoon without the unnecessary eye gear or do you have a sunglasses fetish?

    ooh! ok.

  2. 3 .LING July 2, 2009 at 5:21 pm

    I think she’s better off without the glasses. -.-

  3. 4 ... July 2, 2009 at 5:21 pm

    neither… soon enough job will be done… just like all the others

  4. 5 surrah July 2, 2009 at 5:22 pm

    I wonder why they’re called four minute? Why not five minutes.

  5. 10 Sheehana July 2, 2009 at 5:23 pm

    3rd =D
    She looked pretty cute ^.^

    ‘That girl can’t take off those babies because she is contractually obligated to maintain that image by Cube Entertainment’

    What happens if she ‘breaks’ the contract??? what if it’s dark and she trip over herself indoor? bleh, not my problem but this is one weird contract clause.

    • 12 kpoprox July 3, 2009 at 2:01 am

      Well if it’s dark and she trips over herself indoors, then that means she’ll have to close her eyes and perform until her contract is over. LOL Can you imagine what that’ll be like……….—–> >o< (Meoli bootuh balggeut ggaji hot is-*bumps into Hyun Ah*)

    • 13 cubana4life July 3, 2009 at 2:54 am

      Haha very true…either way I think she looks good with and without sunglasses.

  7. 14 Sheehana July 2, 2009 at 5:51 pm

    but havent u all noticed that most of the girl bands really try TOO HARD with all the colours and styles and patterns …. I mean they all look the same..they should really tone it down a bit…all of those bands..

  8. 15 Mew July 2, 2009 at 6:17 pm

    When SNSD first came out with all the colorful concept in Gee, I was like “Yay!”
    Then 2ne1 came with Lollipop and I was like “okay~”
    NOW SUDDENLY EVERYONE IS TOO DAMN COLORFUL IT’S HURTING MY EYES. DD8 I’m sure I’m turning color blind.

    I’m not saying 4minute is bad. I mean, this also goes for 2ne1 and their suddenly reggae+tie dye concept (Shinee much?). But these whole looks and “concepts” is driving me crazy. She’s not allowed to take off her shades? CRAZY.

    Oh well, I’ll stick with “listen to the song and don’t look at the singer(s)” way. -.- Geez.

    These singers (the entertainment company, really) really need to start focusing on why they’re on stage: SINGING. Looks and concepts isn’t a really big deal…

    • 16 ran July 4, 2009 at 2:19 pm

      lol.. i think you have to credit YG for the eccentric styles…. so i don’t care if the artists come from YG.. oh com’on, and why the hell are all songs now have raps?! huh? bit copycats ei? haha! losers!

  9. 17 luvzkoreanz101 July 2, 2009 at 7:41 pm

    finally i see a picture of her without those big ass glasses. She is really pretty!

  10. 18 Oliver Cromwell July 2, 2009 at 7:55 pm

    I thought she was blind! Pity, and I really thought the handicapped were making inroads into K-pop.

  11. 19 jennych July 2, 2009 at 8:11 pm

    aw she has pretty eyes, but her hairstyles cool though

  12. 20 rellalove July 2, 2009 at 9:25 pm

    sorry, but why does it seem like she’s always wearing sunglasses? She looks good w/o them

  13. 21 miira-chaan July 2, 2009 at 9:30 pm

    she’s pretty.!~

  14. 22 Miniini July 2, 2009 at 9:32 pm

    OMG!

  15. 23 demiyu July 2, 2009 at 9:54 pm

  16. 24 await} July 2, 2009 at 10:53 pm

    she’s like a mix of minzi without sunglasses and CL when she has them on.
    just had to say that- I usually don’t compare them to 2ne1, but I had to do an exception :D

  17. 25 ry :] July 2, 2009 at 11:06 pm

    in the 2nd photo isn’t that IU – the haircut & the eyes..
    it doesnt look anything like jun ji yoon :O
    but she looks good anyway with or without sunnies =)

  18. 26 Jane. July 2, 2009 at 11:41 pm

    finally..i feel relieved or something looking at her without glasses. shes always freaking wearing them, its annoying.

  19. 27 joelib July 3, 2009 at 12:14 am

  21. 29 lynne July 3, 2009 at 1:42 am

    erm you could know who she was by just running your mouse over the picture -____- it shows the name of the picture.

    anyway. she looks good though. i hope she takes off those sunglasses soon. it doesnt do her justice.

  22. 30 soju July 3, 2009 at 2:29 am

    sheeeesh … when i glanced at the pic, i thought it was han ji hye!

    but this girl has pretty eyes. i like how they applied her makeup in the last photo. cute.

  23. 31 irees July 3, 2009 at 4:52 am

    Actually… there’s that one video of her in her debut days when she sings to Umbrella… She wasn’t wearing shades then. Although, it’s still hard to see her eyes.

  24. 32 Sokai July 3, 2009 at 5:21 am

    Wtf, people actually voted for Yoobin? o___o; LOL.

    I actually think it’d be kind of fun to have to wear sunglasses all the time. |D

  25. 33 Akamekraze July 3, 2009 at 5:45 am

    I actually got it right! =) I think she’s pretty with and w/o sunglasses but she has beautiful eyes! Why hide them?

  26. 34 anna July 3, 2009 at 7:56 am

    She looks better with the sunglasses anyway. Plain without.

  27. 35 comic sans July 3, 2009 at 8:24 am

    without glasses looks better…so pretty

  28. 36 Poppy07 July 3, 2009 at 8:32 am

    shes sooo pretty without them:)

  29. 37 ainokisu July 3, 2009 at 9:33 am

  32. 40 haeyeon July 3, 2009 at 4:39 pm

    “turns out she has eyes after all”
    i LMAO-ed at that. but she has nice eyes, why hide them all the time!

  33. 41 `KyLaa<3 July 3, 2009 at 7:09 pm

    wow.. i really thought that was park bom :L

    Jiyoon looks better without the glasses
    but the glasses give her more charisma (if you know what i mean O_O’)

    idk, i like her with or without glasses ^^

  34. 42 ehsna July 3, 2009 at 8:47 pm

    JI YOON SO PRETTY!!! I initially thought that she looked like yoobin.. I’m excited for them! 4 minute FIGHTING!!!!!!!

  35. 43 ehsna July 3, 2009 at 8:49 pm

    and to all haters.. I bet they’re just afraid that one day these girls will be able to steal the spotlight..

  36. 44 sandy July 3, 2009 at 9:38 pm

    hyun ah’s not the leader anymore? nyay~! most of the time i don’t feel her presence on stage! my eyes are looking 4 jiyoon. haha! beautiful girl! has an attitude like minzy/cl.

  37. 45 Jes July 4, 2009 at 8:28 am

    Even though I’m not a fan of them, she’s actually really pretty. I prefer her both? She looks good either way. But sometimes we need to see those eyes sometimes onstage. ^.^

  38. 46 trollsome July 4, 2009 at 9:01 pm

    @ehsna lol freakin delusional lol steal what? spotlight? lol frm whom wondergirls? snsd? wtf! hell no…doesnt even stand a chance against 2ne1… prolly steal it frm their ancestors jewelry XD in fairness she looks a lightyears better than what she looks before
