4minute, BEAST, and G.NA spark the Hallyu craze in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Cube Entertainment's artists arrived in Sao Paulo to attend South America's first K-pop concert 'M Live by CJ 2011 United Cube Concert in Brazil'.

Around 300 local fans gathered in the airport because of the news of their landing. 4minute BEAST and G.NA arrived in Brazil on the 11th, while 4minute's Hyunah and BEAST's Jang Hyunseung & Lee Kikwang arrived on 12th. Both arrivals received a big welcome.

All fans who had waited in the airport gave a big welcome by shouting all of the group names at the same time. Fans who couldn't hide their excitement burst into tears, or sang the artists' songs and left in the airport to sooth.

Some local fans gave help to protect them safely, helping the police and airport security personnel. Some fans made a safety-line by standing side by side, to protect the singers.

4minute's Jeon Jiyoon revealed her testimonial, "We always feel touched to meet all the fans who have been waiting for us. They brought some picket signs to show that they are thankful for our arrival in Brazil. I felt really weird when I accidentally looked into a fan's eyes, who was crying while shouting our names. I will show a fun and cool stage, to make an unforgettable memory for them."

Meanwhile, we can see some news regarding the concert in daily Brazilian newspapers about the "Korean Wave" which made a greater expectation for the concert.
