4minute advertised an ice cream company when they were fat?

Group 4minute is drawing a lot of attention from an old picture of the group promoting an ice cream brand.

In the August 29 episode of QTV’s 4minute’s Travel Maker, the group said, “We start going on a diet two weeks before we appear on TV. After our first TV appearance, we gain weight again.”

Hyun Ah said, “When we gained the most weight, we shot a commercial for an ice cream brand. All five members looked the same.”

As a result, several online communities found and posted the advertisement in question. In the picture, 4minute members are staring at the camera while making cute faces. But they don’t look as fat as Hyun Ah described.

People responded: “They don’t need to go on a diet.” “I don’t think they go on a diet only for two weeks.” “They are this slim without losing weight.”

In the pictorial, which was released on May 31, Heo is portraying a charismatic girl with a ‘black’ theme. Her figure, which is well known as the best figure among idols, put more sexy charms into her black charisma.

Heo also appeared on the magazine cover for its June edition. Since she is a talented singer and a wonderful fashionista, she arranged the concept and style herself, while shooting the pictorial.

The concept for the pictorial was the color ‘black’ because Heo looks chic on stage while performing as a singer and an actress.

Even though the shooting took place late at night, she did her best to make the pictorial perfect and received a standing ovation from the entire crew

Heo plays the role of a singer and style icon named Hyun Kyun in the 1980s in MBC’s series Light and Shadow. She pleases the audience by wearing retro style clothes.
