Female idol group 4minute, which is set for a comeback to the local music scene for the first time in a year, has finished releasing teaser clips of all the group's members for their upcoming album tomorrow.

Each day starting Thursday, their agency Cube Entertainment released a teaser of every member starting with Hyun-a on Thursday, Ji-yoon on Friday, then on the following days of Jihyun, Ga-yoon and So-hyun for the album set for release tomorrow.

Ji-hyun’s clip released on Saturday showed her giving a confidant smile to the mirror with the narration “My deepest secret I’ve so long hidden away -- I’ll show you now.”

The clip disclosed on Sunday showed Ga-yoon shedding a single drop of tear with her narration, “I’ve never shown my tears to anybody until now” but then resolves, “At twenty I wish to laugh and cry all I want.”

As for today’s teaser which featured 4minute's youngest member So-hyun who has yet to turn twenty, said, "The moment I learned of my inadequateness in contrast to my desires” and “The moment I was loved and hurt at the same time” made her “Become twenty before turning twenty.”

The teasers are in line with the previous teasers which focus on the theme of “STEAL 20” that highlights mature images of the group and sums it up with a line from fairy tale “Snow White”: “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?”

4minute splashed into the local music scene with their debut single "Hot Issue" in 2009 and has 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."
