MCA Music, who recently partnered with CUBE Entertainment in Korea that also houses K-Pop boy band BEAST released the first mini-album of 4Minute entitled For Muzik. Their hits “Hot Issue”, “Muzik” and “What A Girl Wants” have all enjoyed heavy airplay by top music channels and radio stations - making the group one of the most popular Korean acts to ever hit the country.
The group describes their music as Candy Funky which in detail means Candy (colorful and sweet) + Funky (defiant, retro and free). With their looks, talent, and adorable over-all Korean image, it is no doubt that 4Minute is bound to be one of the biggest names in the industry today.
After 4MINUTE’s visit to the Philippines last February, this HOT, charming and infectious quintet from South Korea has gained numerous Filipino fans who find them simply irresistible! Since then, 4Minute has transformed into a bolder and edger group, sporting new hairstyles and sexier outfits as seen in their latest album, Hit Your Heart, featuring the singles, HUH and I My Me Mine. The album includes a DVD which features behind the scenes footage of their Philippine promo tour.
BEAST - The member of BEAST individually has their own innate edge in terms of singing, dancing and rapping. Their solo capabilities make them a powerhouse group in the narrow world of K-pop, with each member contributing a significant amount in every success that BEAST achieves. It was inevitable that they would eventually be discovered and grouped together to create one of the most promising boy groups ever to hit the K-pop industry.
In October 2009, PLAYCUBE Inc. took off the veil of BEAST, which was composed of 6 powerful members, Du Jun Yoon, Hyun Seung Jang, Jun Hyung Yong, Yo Seop Yang, Gi Kwang Lee, and Dong Woon Son. Even before the group was formally launched, fans all over Asia had high expectations since three of the members, specifically Gi Kwang, Du Jun and Hyun Seung already had their own following during previous stints that further hastened their abilities in becoming a successful pop star in their own right.
BEAST has only been in the industry for a short while and yet, their rise to fame is far from slowing down. Right after the release of their 1st mini album, BEAST received the 'Rookie Music Award' from KOREA CREATIVE CONTENT AGENCY. This award is only given to excellent rookies selected carefully. BEAST also received 'Rookie of the Month' from the largest Korean community portal Cyworld because of their remarkable activities in the chart. Here in the Philippines, BEAST has their own following all contained in the official website of BEAST in the Philippines,www.beast.ph. Due to their huge popularity, they even have a local counterpart made up of 6 boys who look up to their dancing abilities who fondly call themselves BEST.
With their burning charisma on stage, BEAST has proven to be a very strong group who have surpassed a lot of challenges in the past. This group of 6 from Cube Entertainment collectively known as BEAST is composed of the very charismatic leader, Yoon Doojoon, the dance machines, Jang Hyunseung & Lee Kikwang, the group's vocalists, Yang Yoseob & Son Dongwoon and their very creative rapper, Yong Junhyung. Together they have been topping all the music charts with every song that they released since their debut on Octover 2009 and they are proving to be a very promising group. They are also widely known in Asia proven by the warm welcome they recieved from many B2UTIES (Beauties) when they recently had their Asian Promoting tour, visiting Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and Japan. They've also been winning awards left and right with their single 'Shock' off of their 2nd Mini Album, 'Shock of the New Era'.

BIGBANG - BigBang, a South Korean boy band composed of members G-Dragon (leader), T.O.P., TaeYang, DaeSung and SeungRi, is one of the biggest and most successful groups in Asia today. The boys made their debut in Korea on August 19, 2006, and have since then conquered the hearts of fans across Asia and around the globe.
In 2006, the group released 3 singles in Korea, followed by a full album in December and held a very successful first major concert, The Real, to cap off the year. A year after their debut, the group launched their first EP, Always, with the title track "Lies" topping the music charts, marking their breakthrough success in the Korean music industry and garnering them numerous awards in 2007. In 2008 they ventured into the Japanese market with their first Japanese release, For the World, followed by successful releases and concerts both in their home country and in Japan. 2009 was another year of accomplishments for Big Bang as they launched their first self-titled, full-length Japanese album under Universal Music, debuting at number 2 on the Oricon Charts. The same album was released in the Philippines on October 28, 2009 by MCA Music, selling over 3,000 copies to date. Big Bang started 2010 with a bang as they held successful concert tours in both Japan and Korea, and are currently preparing for their Korean comeback set in October.
The members have also successfully embarked on their solo careers, proving their talents and passion for their craft as they ventured into acting in dramas, musicals and movies, hosting and producing their own music. After numerous singles, albums and concert tours that gained them fame and recognition in the industry, the members of Big Bang continue to work hard to be able to bring their fans good music and fulfill their goals.
WONDER GIRLS - Year 2009 marked the beginning of the so-called “KPOP Phenomenon” as the song NOBODY by the Wonder Girls became a monstrous hit with venom spreading like wildfire over the radio airwaves, TV and internet. Its lyrics, melody or even choreography inevitably created a huge impact among the “pinoy” music aficionados.
The Wonder Girls is a South Korean girl group under JYP Entertainment - one of the top Korean Entertainment Agencies recognized for building top Korean global stars. The all-female group rose to popularity in the fall of 2007 with the song "Tell Me”, which became a highly hypnotic dance track at that time causing an immense reaction from their Korean fans. The Wonder Girls have scored three consecutive #1 hit singles namely; "Tell Me", "So Hot", and "Nobody. They have also garnered awards and recognition for their superb on stage performances. With their addictive dance moves and their numerous hits tucked into their belt, the Wonder Girls managed to earn the title as “Korea’s National Sisters”. In 2009, the group began their entry into the American market via their signature song "Nobody". The single was in fact, the very first Korean song ever to hit the Billboard Hot 100 – a very rare achievement which you can only attribute to the Wonder Girls!
The Wonder Girls debuted with 5 members namely Sunye, Yeeun, Sunmi, Sohee, and Hyunah. In the middle of 2007, Hyunah left the group by her parents due to their concern over her health and later again made her comeback in the Cube Entertainment’s girl group – 4Minute; Yubin, a JYP trainee took her place. In early 2010, it was announced that Sunmi would be postponing her musical career to pursue an academic career; Hyelim another JYP trainee took her place. Even with unexpected changes in line-up, the Wonder Girls have successfully completed their 1st U.S Tour as well as promotional activities in South Korea, the United States and South East Asia.
Unlike other KPOP groups, The Wonder Girls continue to charm not only their K-POP fans but the world as a whole as they conquer the international music scene. They are definitely poised for international stardom with their latest album, “2 Different Tears”. Filipino fans have been expecting a fresher, brighter image for the girls and are very excited about the fact that the album has finally hit our local shores. “2 Different Tears” the album features the hit, “Nobody” and their latest single, “2 Different Tears”.
