[ NEWS ] 4minutes want BEAST as their Boyfriend??

Will we ever see real CUBE Entertainment love in the future?

The sexy ladies of 4Minute and the charismatic boys of BEAST have rapidly raised Cube Entertainment along the ranks of powerhouse companies. Both groups having only debuted in 2009, have achieved an unprecedented amount of success and together, these two groups stepped out to become the representative faces of CUBE.

On numerous occasions, 4minute and BEAST have displayed their close relationships with one another, calling each other on the phone, making appearances in each other’s performances, and even celebrating their birthdays together! Since they already have such a close relationship, will these CUBE artists ever date each other?

Two weeks ago, 4minute and BEAST were invited to perform at Celebrations@Marina Bay in Singapore. Many told them that the BEAST boys are seen as ‘Prince Charmings’ for many girls out there. But 4minute said that they are too familiar and close with the boys already, making it hard to spark any chemistry. The ladies shared, “To us, they are more like brothers. We always practice together, know too many of their secrets, we already have no illusion of them! If you ask them how they see us, the answer will be the same.”

Looks like we won’t be seeing any 4minute/BEAST couples, but at least we’ll have a great CUBE family!
