4minute give intimate Sydney show

The women of 4minute took to the stage at the Metro Theater in Sydney, Australia, Sunday, for an intimate show titled “4minute Party Rock Concert in Australia.”

The five-member girl group performed for 1,000 Aussie fans in the group’s second concert Down Under. This was not only the stars’ first dedicated concert in the country, but also the first by a K-pop act.

4minute made their first visit to Australia two years ago for K-pop group concert, “2011 K-POP Music Festival in Sydney,” and performed alongside Girls’ Generation, TVXQ, CNBlue, SHINee, Beast, Kara and others.

After some of the group members took time out to focus on their individual side projects ― including Hyuna’s solo career and the creation of the band’s first unit 2Yoon, featuring members Ji-yoon and Ga-yoon ― 4minute finally came together again to release their EP “Name is 4minute,” featuring the lead track “What’s Your Name?” Later in June, the members released their follow-up dance single “Is It Poppin’?”
