4Minutes Win Mutizen?

After watching G-Dragon dominate the kcharts and grab his fill of Mutizens, it looks like Inkigayo is ready for another champion, and the verdict is out… 4minute has finally captured their first Mutizen win, beating out KARA, Kim Tae Woo, Tei, Lee Seung Gi, Park Hyo Shin and Jewelry with “Muzik” on 27th September.

It seems like this was a 4minute night – first, the girls revealed a sweeter side in a public transportation song feature, and then their hard work over the past few months paid off with the honor of this award. Their first major award since debuting in June 2009.

When 4minute debuted, the fivesome met mixed reviews regarding their talent and image. However, in the past few months they’ve come a long way and snagged the hearts of many – this is a milestone for the girls, and we expect many more great things to come.
