Call me too woke but saying i-dle is copying Tyla (who isn’t an Afrobeats artist) just for exploring a genre is pretty racist.
Also, it’s clear people don’t actually care about cultural appropriation when i-dle is accused of it despite working with Nigerian producer Daramola, who is properly credited across all official channels.
Unlike 'Smart' or other African-music-inspired K-pop tracks where zero African creators were involved, i-dle did everything right. There’s no proof of them doing cultural appropriation, just cultural appreciation.
The only ones accusing them of CA are those prejudiced against K-pop artists, K-poppies trying to drag i-dle, and people too ignorant to know what the term actually means.
All 5 members of 4Minute were discussing renewal together and when Sohyun wanted a little more time to think on it, they got a notice that 4Minute disbanded.
Jiyoon and Sohyun then drove to the former CEO of Cube’s house to speak to him but they were turned away at the door.
Recently, this performance of Trouble Maker was well commented by Knetz

3. HyunA was unbeatable in 2011, 4M, Bubble Pop and Trouble Maker in 1 year.
4. They matched so well

Gayoon shares her thoughts about a 4minute reunion.
“ It’s such a good memory that it can be scary to touch but you definitely miss it.
But seeing the members nowadays I always wonder what it would be like to promote together again.”
