So when the girls appeared on the March 26th episode of KBS Cool FM's 'Lee So Ra's Music Plaza,' 4Minute talked about their "ideal types" since HyunA stated on the show that their agency allows dating. The first one to initiate the conversation was HyunA. She said, "I don't have a particular ideal type, and I like someone who I can connect with. I am the style to have to know someone for a long time to like him, so I like someone who gets along well with me." After HyunA, Jihyun then stated what her ideal type of guy is by saying, "He has to be a respectful person who I can learn from and is not the player type." Sohyun was next by saying that "feelings need to be mutual;" which she further explained by saying, "I have to like that person. No matter how much someone likes me, if I don't like him back, he can't have my heart." Lastly, Gayoon stated that "she likes the more assertive type" by saying, "I like an outgoing person... Since I can't be outgoing, I like someone who approaches me first."

Guys, any of the criteria's match you?

More Appearances on Variety Shows

The ladies kept appearing on variety shows as they were on the March 24th episode of KBS's radio show 'Jo Jung Chi and Ha Rim's 2 O'Clock' which they revealed who amongst the male group in their agency is their "rival." Each of them agreed that it is male group BEAST since DJ Jo Jung Chi asked the question. The reason was explained by Sohyun as she said, "I think our rival is B2ST. We're from the same company. However, we recently changed our managing directors. That's why I think they've become our rival." After that, Gayoon was laughing as she said, "I think it's a rivalry for which group can get more love in the company." Jihyun gave her "input" as she said, "There are a lot of boy group songs that I envy. I like B2ST's songs a lot, too." Once the girls were done, Jo Jung Chi said, "If the managing director is a man, 4minute would definitely get more love." Lastly, DJ Ha Rim said, "I think 4minute is better because of their easygoing personalities."

Rivalry amongst male group is not the only topic that was brought up. The girls also explained how their appearance has changed. The question which was asked by DJ Jo Jung Chi was, "Which member do you think got the prettiest since debut?" Gayoon was the one who initiated first by saying, "Everyone got so pretty. The most consistent member is Sohyun. Even we think it's severe when we look at our old pictures," which all laughed. Sohyun defended herself by saying, "Our consistency depends greatly on makeup. We can look very different. I also think we look different because we are growing up." The ladies also brought up what they will do if they win number one for their single on any of the major music shows which Jihyun explained that they did ruin their appearance. Jihyun said, "When we filmed the MV, we really destroyed our image. However, a lot of it got edited out of the MV. If we get number one, I will really ruin our image on stage." She further explained, "In the MV, there was one scene we did in a really funny way, so if we win first place, we will make sure to show you."

Are you hoping to see their "ruined image" if they win on any of the music shows this week?

Continuing on March 24th, 4Minute member's Jihyun and Sohyun attended the episode of KBS 'Jo Jung Chi and Ha Rim's 2 O' Clock' show. This episode, Jihyun and Sohyun explained as well "revealed which male actors they'd like to work with in the future." Though before they "revealed" this, they explained what "Whatcha Doin' Today" has to bring to the music world. They said, "This time, we put in effort to approach the crowd with a comfortable vibe. I hope they feel like we're the next door dongsaengs."

Including this, Sohyun explained about her "acting career" which she said, "In November of last year, I acted in the movie 'Yellow Dog'. I hope I get a lot of love." Once she said this, the question was then asked who she would want to work "with in the future;" which she said, "These days, Ahn Jae Hyun," who is the actor from the finished hit drama series, 'You Who Came From The Stars'.

After Sohyun stated this, Jihyun then "elaborated" by saying, "Ahn Jae Hyun is the MC of a music show, and Sohyun really likes him. For me, there are a lot of male actors who I'd like to work with, but these days, it's Ji Chang Wook."

March 26th, the girls attended the show for KBS's 'Lee So Ra's Music Plaza.' This show, HyunA revealed about how she learned English for a script she had to memorize. The script was for an "American talk show" in-which she had to appear on. HyunA stated, "Firstly, I was very nervous because there was nothing I prepared beforehand, but on the set, the staff made me feel very comfortable so I was able to do it without feeling burdened." After HyunA was done explaining how she was nervous and then calmed down, DJ Lee So Ra asked the question on if she had to speak English. HyunA said, "I spoke in English as I learned three pages of the conversational script in one hour, but I also snuck in some Korean."

Once she said this, Lee was amazed by "complimenting" by saying, "To think you learned the script in one hour - you could even act in a historical drama," which all laughed.

Other topics that came up on this show was how Jihyun is according to Woohyun "attractive" without make-up on. What was explained on the show was that Jihyun explained how people asked for her phone number while she was walking down the street without make-up on. Then the topic of who amongst the group is more "popular" was brought up which Sohyun said, "Ordinary people often ask [Jihyun] for her number." Jihyun then said, "People seemed to not recognize me when I'm not wearing make up. Without knowing I'm in 4minute, they come up to me and ask for my number." Jihyun then further explained, "At first, I thought it might be a good thing, but after going home and thinking about it thoroughly, I wasn't that pleased."

Bad Manners

The broadcast and photo-shoots this week; 4Minute were really busy. Though, there were also complaints regarding when HyunA took out her lipstick and put it on her lips while she appeared on 'Beatles Code 3D.' Looks like what HyunA did is considered not one that she should have not done on air. People stated that she had "bad manners" as well a behavior that is considered "rude." Not only did the lipstick bother viewers; but her "slumped position" which she "leaned over and even rested her head on her arms" while on the show. Viewers wondered if HyunA was bored as well even payed attention. MC Shin Dong also poked fun of her by mimicking her. The responses by netizens were, "What is she doing on the show?" "Does she not consider the viewers that are watching?" "Why did she suddenly put on lipstick?" "They're looking at her too negatively," "I don't think there's any problem."
