4Minute's 3 Hyuns and MBLAQ's Lee Joon showed their support towards Gayoon

MBC's Lunar Year Special 'Idol Swimming + Championships in Athletics' continues to garner more attention as curiosity arises from Netizens when 4Minute's maknae, Kwon Sohyun, uploaded a picture of her with her 2 unnies, Nam JiHyun and Kim HyunA, holding different fanboards as they cheer Gayoon who has just been confirmed to be their representative for the swimming competition.

What made things more interesting is when Sohyun followed it with another picture. She revealed a photo of MBLAQ's Lee Joon wearing a tracksuit with striped sandals, while sitting on the floor holding the same fanboard that Jihyun held on the first picture she had uploaded. The board says: "I love you Heo Kkaka!"

Sohyun tweeted, "It seems a little forced but thank you for cheering us! ~keke. MBLAQ's recently released album is daebak~ keke! MBLAQ and 4Minute Fighting!"

Some of Netizens' reactions are the following:

" 'I love you Heo Kkaka?' isn't that Gayoon's nickname? Is he spearing us fans now ㅠ ㅠ"
"Joon oppa is 4Minute's fan? Blah Blah" and
"I'm completely excited for the 'Idol Swimming Competition!' "

The pictures were taken during the private filming of MBC's New Years Special 'Idol Swimming' last January 30, 2011.

4Minute's Gayoon on the spotlight again for cool face Taiwan airport?

South Korean groups 4Minute and 2PM arrived in Taiwan last January 22, 2011 at 11AM for the concert that they will have to attend together with other popular KPOP Idol groups such as Super Junior, Beast and MBLAQ.

4Minute's girls were spotted wearing dark sunglasses and appeared "expressionless" according to news reporters. This created some issues from the public, most especially when Gayoon made an "annoyed" look on the cameraman and suddenly, when 4Minute's manager tried to cover the video camera to stop the man from taking closer shots of the girls.

Several reports were already made with regards to this issue; however, several Taiwanese 4Nias are trying to clear the issue by saying:

"Reporters are liars! They're wearing sunglasses because it's part of their fashion? Don't they know what fashion is?"

"I hate it when reporters change what has really happened on a situation."

"Gayoon didn't even open her mouth! The reporter is such a liar!"

"The girls are just exhausted! They only got back from Malaysia days ago!"

Gayoon's apologetic message on the fancafe

It's Gayoon.!
Hello, I'm Gayoon
First of all, I’m sincerely sorry for having worried our 4nias and many other people because of my thoughtless action..
Because we are really close to each other, we were carelessly joking… It definitely wasn’t a spiteful gesture… !
I always want to show a good image only and I try as well to show it but it seems I haven’t been careful about every single of my actions
I listened carefully to what I’ve been severely taught and I’ll make sure it won’t happen again
Once again, I’m sincerely sorry..

4Minute's Gayoon under fire for inappropriate picture

4Minute member Gayoon is surrounded by controversy for giving the camera the middle finger. Fellow member Jiyoon uploaded the questionable picture of herself and Gayoon on her twitter account earlier.

When the picture became an issue over the internet, Jiyoon said, "I put that picture up by mistake. How do I erase it?” and deleted the original tweet. However, the picture is still accessible via her twitpic account. When it was initially posted, the title of the picture was "before going to Malaysia, last picture of Kwon Sso and Ssang Yoon. hehe". From this sentence, it’s obvious that it wasn't her intention to post pictures that would show her team members in a negative light as “Kwon Sso” Sohyun was not present in the picture. Jiyoon has since posted a new tweet with the picture of Sohyun and Gayoon she originally intended to upload.

However, netizens are unforgiving, and malicious comments towards Gayoon are being posted on online bulletin boards. Netizens are also criticizing Jiyoon, nicknaming her “team member killer” or “team kill” in short because she uploaded the picture by mistake. What do you think of this situation?
