According to an announcement by their agency, Cube Entertainment, on
March 18, Two Yoons (Heo Ga Yoon and Jeon Ji Yoon), a subgroup of the
Korean girl group 4 Minute, who have been praised in the foreign press
for their experimental musical approach, will go to Thailand to promote
their Asian activities from the 21th to the 23th of March. This is the
second case of a subgroup gaining international attention after Orange
Caramel, a subgroup of the girl group After School.
Since their debut with the single “Harvest Moon” last January, Two
Yoons have received favorable comments on their musical experiment with
their song “24/7” from domestic and foreign fans. This song is a dance
number based on country music and is the first experiment of its kind in
K-pop history. The well-known American magazine
Spin
complimented the song for reinterpreting country music in terms of K-pop
and dubbed it “Kountry” (meaning the country genre of K-pop).
The group will meet foreign fans through such activities as appearing
on broadcasts, at press conferences, and in interviews starting in
Thailand and moving on through three more countries in Asia.
An official of the group’s agency says, “Two Yoons are receiving
explosive response both domesticly and abroad and will continue as
members of 4 Minute while they carry out overseas promotions as the
subgroup Two Yoons.”
