Five-member girl group 4minute has opened a teaser website, signaling their comeback to the local music scene for the first time in a year.

The teaser website (WWW.4MIN.CO.KR) which was opened today morning, revealed the logo “STEAL 20” in large capitalized letters on a black backdrop while about 30 seconds of a unique sound plays in the background.

A press release by the girls’ agency Cube Entertainment explained that the logo is related to how all the members of 4minute have reached their twenties and are ready to transform into a group which performs more energetic and mature music.

The statement added that 4minute will officially take steps to make their comeback by revealing teaser images tomorrow and disclosing their new song online next Tuesday.

4minute splashed into the local music scene with their debut single "Hot Issue" in 2009 and have enjoyed success in several Asian countries including Taiwan and the Philippines with their mini-album "For Muzik."

They were the first K-pop girl group to branch out into the Japanese market in early May last year where they produced three Japanese singles including "Muzik," "I My Me Mine" and "First." The group's first full-length album "DIAMOND" was released in the country in early December.

The girls received the "K-Pop New Artists Award" at the Billboard Japan Music Awards in February and have been promoting their latest Japanese single "WHY."
