Wonder Girls

KPOP new wave girls band - Wonder Girls (원더걸스).

One of the most popular (maybe SNSD can be compared) korean girl groups. I seen em from the start ("Tell me" PV), were interesting even from the start, but too young for that moment. Now they are grown up and successfully winning in KPOP sexy girl bands competition. :-)

Bio:

They are produced by singer-songwriter Park Jin-Young and are signed to his talent agency, JYP Entertainment. As a group, the Wonder Girls were introduced through the program called MTV Wonder Girls which was filmed and directed by MTV. In the showcase, they performed a cover of "Don't Cha" by the Pussycat Dolls and their own songs, such as "Irony".

The Wonder Girls returned to Korea in spring of 2008. Their new single, "So Hot", was released on May 22, 2008; the song topped online charts soon after. The full music video for "Nobody" was released in the early autumn of 2008. At the 2008 MNet KM Music Festival Awards, the Wonder Girls won three awards, including "Song of the Year" and "Best Music Video" for "Nobody", and "Best Female Group".

The Wonder Girls tour started on February 28, 2009 in Bangkok, Thailand. The Wonder Girls, along with mentor JYP, then held concerts in the United States. After the end of the tour, the Wonder Girls debuted a music video for "Now", a cover of Fin.K.L's (former Lee Hyori group) single from their third album. Created for a commercial for LG, a version featuring only the dance was released online on April 9, 2009.
