On June 21, a week after the start of "Hot Issue" promotions fans stole various items from the group's van, including clothing. In response Cube Entertainment stated, "It was very unfortunate that such an ordeal occurred." Two months later KBS banned the playing of, "Won't Give You (안줄래)" because of the lyrics in which they considered to be overly sexual content. In response Cube stated that the lyrics intended to mean "about the pure feelings of a girl to a guy." and they were disappointed that they interpreted the lyrics as something sexual. 4minute was featured in fellow label-mate Mario's Christmas digital single "Jingle Jingle", which was released on December 2, 2009; the music video premiered online on December 3, 2009.

The lyrics include the lines, When I say I want to appear on TV, when I say I want to become prettier, everybody says I can’t do it. Baby, you’re kidding me? I do as I please. This was supposed to make North Korean listeners aware of the greater opportunities available in the South.
