[Guest XxSwt Lilo LuverxX]

exr pics look so pretty,

[Guest qoxie]

WG's Taiwan press conference is on Thursday, 1pm according to the infamous tabloid Apple Daily.

Wow, that afternoon is going to be really congested, cuz the itinerary has them recording 2 TV shows at 2pm & 5pm next.

PS. Don't take the rude article headline to heart. The original Chinese is actually more flippant.

("Tai-ke" 台客 refers the once-derogatory, now-empowering "commoner" youngsters who grew up on Western, Japanese & now Korean influences. Female equivalent is "Tai-mei" 台妹.)

GORGEOUS in Gold...wish there was a clearer picture of this

Picture collage of the rumored new JYP girl group. Total 18 pics, purportedly taken in March.

Not directly WG-related, so I'm posting only the link: http://i42.tinypic.com/2vd0lug.png

I recognize Lim's former groupmate Meng Jia (right top).

The side profile of the girl at 3rd down on the right also looks a bit like another JYP SISTER Fei Fei, but I do not see her in the other shots so not sure.

One of the girls look very young & adorable: the resident maknae?

Another is very photogenic like Sunmi.

Yet another with the aegyo gestures looks like whatshername from SNSD.

W馒头爱G @ Baidu posted the individual pics if you want them: http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=753056457

She said that the total members (possibly as low as 3) have not been decided.

Hi. I'm new to all this, but I love the Wonder Girls.

I was just wondering if there was a fanclub meet up at the Korean Music Festival for WG?

If anyone can help, can u pls msg me details?

Thanks =D

Soompi usually have concert-themed threads. You might want to explore the network & see about hooking up with fellow K-pop fans.

The WGspectacle forum also usually create rendezvous threads for WG events, if you want to hang out only with WFs.

[Guest *bluebutterfly*]

Thanks Mia_Mia for translating some of Hyerim's 100 questions and sharing the unofficial seating plan for DC.=)

I'm glad she was offered doing that because we get to find out more about her.

I think it would be good if Wonder Girls had another program so we could find out more about her and how the group are right now. But then again they're going to be so busy this year.

I hope WonderFuls get a larger seating area because 2 is not enough. =(

And thanks Mia_Mia again for the pics of the products the girls are endorsing.

The cups look so cool. I don't drink coffee (sorry sunye. I know you love coffee) but I would buy one just so I could keep the cup. LMAO!

[Guest songbird86]

Glad everything is on track, with the girls. Soon there's going to be an explosion of all things Wonder Girls. And with a mini-album and (possible) full album, I think I'm going to be spoiled. If we pre-ordered do we get both?

@qoxie- thanks for the pictures, I've been waiting for them to debut forever. Do they have a soompi thread yet? I would love more information.

slrigrednow – thanks for sharing all those fun facts about Wonder Girls. it’s really interesting to find out more about the interests of our girls. ooh.. so Lim’s favourite movie is Devil Wears Prada?

It’s quite funny because I made a post just some time ago about how So Hee would fit right in with the movie Devil Wears Prada because she’s such a fashionista. Now it’s Lim who likes the movie! LOL! Limabean & I have an affinity.

So Hee’s favourite movie is one of my favourite movies too. <3 2Ye like tearjerkers while Binnie goes for the war based movies eh? Really interesting! I feel like I know the girls better after reading all these little snippets of their likes & dislikes.

but does anyone else notice that sunye opens her mouth alot in photoshoots ? i think its like her trademark pose

ROFL! I noticed that too! true. That seems to be Sun Ye’s trademark pose in photoshoots. She looks gorgeous either way so I don’t find that habit of hers much of a hindrance.

Mia_Mia – thanks for sharing the questions & the replies to them by Lim. I like her english name Christina though I think Hye Rim suits her more. aww.. how cute! Lim’s nickname is little apple. all the 3 of Lim’s favourite actresses are my favourite actresses too! Limabean makes me like her more & more every time! <3

The 2Ye bonus picture of BBQ is adorable. :blush:

I totally agree with you about the seating arrangements for Dream Concert 2010. I mean I don’t want to be unreasonable & demand that Wonderfuls be given 20 blocks or something but 4 would be adequate. 2 blocks is just too little & it seems rather insincere since the DC people seemed so eager to get Wonder Girls on their show.

[Guest talksound]

i want the wonder girls to be saved for last! they better. they've been gone for so long, and they're pretty much the sunbaes of that long list of idol groups! (not including hyori, rain obviously)

and is the dream concert performance their comeback? like first perf. back in korea?

[Guest Bubbly_Millionheiress]

and is the dream concert performance their comeback? like first perf. back in korea?

I think so. wasn't there an article some time ago that said that the comeback performance of Wonder Girls was going to be the crux/climax of Dream Concert 2010? if that article is true then I guess it's highly probably that the performance at Dream Concert will be 1st time Wonder Girls perform in South Korea after thier long hiatus from kpop.

[wonderstruck]

@slrigrednow thanks for the fun facts.

Sohee likes 'Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind?' that's quite a pick -- I'd dare to say an intellectual one <3

And Yubin... 'Platoon'? I'm impressed, the movie is old and is not easy to watch & appreciate. Respect!! <3

haha yes, these movie choices seem to leak out a lot more of each member's personality. Wonder minds^^

---

Thanks so much @Mia_Mia & @talksond, the 100 questions of Hye Rim are cool.

Answer #14 (the motto) is so much JYPE trainees -- The man always picks serious and motivated people.

So the next 5 days will be all activities. Can't wait.

"NOBODY is here!" Korean girl group arrives in Taiwan tomorrow

Music fans are flipping happy! Korean girl-group WONDERGIRLS is coming to Taiwan tomorrow! 'Nobody' was a hit throughout Asia & even reached the USA's Billboard Top 100, thus becoming a miracle in Asian music. The recent addition of a new member from China [sic] is obviously intended to help break into the Chinese market. WONDERGIRLS can be said to be a successful export of South Korea's creative music industry.

'Nobody' is musically famous worldwide. Korean girl group WONDERGIRLS's wonder wind is blowing into Taiwan soon!

To say WONDERGIRLS is a wonder girl group is not really an exaggeration. They debuted in 2007 & immediately became famous everywhere in Korea with 'Tell Me'. In 2008, 'Nobody' pushed WONDERIRLS to the summit, & sweeping not merely the whole of Asia. In 2009, it entered the USA's Billboard Top 100 of popular songs. There was even an English-version MV that officially advanced into the American music scene.

The world was in awe: how did WONDERGIRLS do it, how did Koreans do it? 5 girls, each of them young & pretty, with graceful figures, & the ability to sing & dance. Sunye, Yeeun, Yoobin, Sunmi, Sohee: the epitome of South Korean beauties. Group member Sunmi exited during February 2010. New member Lim is from China. [sic] It is obvious the Korean music industry is intending to break into the Chinese market.

Listening to WONDERGIRLS's 3 winning songs, the hardsell is a brisk tempo, trendy hip-hop electronic music, & also 1980s-retro style, etc. In integrating enjoyable elements into the production, they typically leave every listener in a happy mood, while also catchy enough for them to recite.

In contrast, Taiwan music's strong emphasis on singing skills, or the repressed-feeling delivery style, are said by music commentators to sometimes encumber the listeners. As well, Taiwan music continuously lacks affinitive sounds that are easy & delightful to the ear. It just so happens to be WONDERGIRLS's aptitude. In bringing merriment to the listeners, this is a significant factor in WONDERGIRLS's fame countrywide.

[Guest `starry.night]

If that's all the seating that KWonderFuls are getting that's bs.

Dream concert organizers where so desperate to get the girls on and they only get 2 blocks?

I hope that's not the right seating chart because the girls deserves more fans there.

[Guest Mia_Mia]

[Guest i.said.goodbye]

Thanks for posting Mia

They all look so gorgeous especially Yubin...

But honestly it doesn't feel the same when one of them is not there especially Sunye!!

Hopefully she is there but she just didn't appear in the pictures.

Edit: NVM Sunye is there :D :D

[Guest vietboi_tuan]

SunYe is there. Even how blurry those pictures are, I can tell that it's

SunYe's hair. ahahah YooBin's hair is really red and she look so sexy!

Look at all those media coverage. Wonder Girls dominating Taiwan
