4minute’s HyunA shared her new journey as a college student.

HyunA just enrolled as a freshman at Konkuk University this year and is currently majoring in the arts.

She said,

“At first, I was really worried. Since I’m a student and a celebrity, I thought, ‘What if they don’t view me in a nice way?’ Thankfully, professors and my fellow students are really nice to me and college life has been going well. I’ve been learning a lot of new things and it’s fun to discover new things. When I don’t have scheduled activities, I always go to school. Because of our recent comeback however, I’ve been too busy to go to school. The professors have been really understanding about it. I’m very thankful of that.“

HyunA is currently in the midst of “Mirror Mirror” promotions with 4minute.

Cube Entertainment artists come together for ‘HEART FOR EYE’ in ‘HIGH CUT’

‘Boyfriend idols’ B2ST, charismatic girl group 4minute, ’sexy queen’ G.NA, and ‘Superstar K2’s heroHeo Gak combined forces for a special project. Through the style magazine ‘HIGH CUT‘, the singers participated in a photoshoot for ‘HEART FOR EYE‘, a donation project to help blind children open their eyes to the bright world.

Cube Entertainment and ACube Entertainment’s 20 celebrities participated in the photoshoot, including A PINK and hip-hop artist Mario. It was hard gathering 20 people at once, but busy stars such as 4minute and G.NA came at once with bright smiles on their faces after completing their schedules at night. They also wore special ‘heart’ t-shirts, which have the meaning of ‘combining all hearts into one’. The stars also displayed their close relationships with each other during the shoot.

B2ST’s Doojoon stated his special reason for participating in this project, “I’m happy to participate in a photoshoot for a good purpose. My eyesight was really bad when I was little, so I wore glasses for 10 years starting from the 3rd grade. I couldn’t even distinguish people’s faces without wearing glasses and lens, so it was very uncomfortable. I hope young kids can find the happiness of seeing the world with two clear eyes.”

The ‘HEART FOR EYE’ project started to raise funds to help blind children receive surgeries to gain their eyesight. All proceeds from the t-shirts will be donated to Samsung Seoul Hospital to be used for private surgeries and treatments.

The complete photoshoot can be seen in the 51st issue of ‘HIGH CUT’, which will be released on April 21st.
