Jyp's Wonder Girls (원더걸스) Official Thread 2

[kimicka13]

^^

Ok...when we say "Can't wait" for the new album, it's just that we are super excited for it. So yeah. It's not that we want the girls to be working like crazy. We're just excited for the new album, because they have been promoting Nobody for so long that we want more. It's cause we love the Wonder Girls that we want their new album, cause we want to hear more of them...so yeah...Wonder Girls Fighting! ~Linda~

Yeah. I agree with talksound, who are you to say what a "true wonderful" is? So being excited and wanting the new album doesn't make us "True Wonderfuls"? So yeah...~Linda~

[Guest ♪ LeeNa ♪]

i agree with kimicka13 ...

Tweet from Sun Ye, she reads bible everyday

Psalm 94:14-15 14 For the Lord will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage;

15 for justice will return to the righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it.

Psalm 135:5-7 ()

5 For I know that the Lord is great,

and that our Lord is above all gods.

6 Whatever the Lord pleases, he does,

in heaven and on earth,

in the seas and all deeps.

7 He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth,

who makes lightnings for the rain

and brings forth the wind from his storehouses.

And from followwg twitter

With a new month comes a brand new wondergirlsworld.com! We've got a new welcome page~ Happy July 4th weekend!!!

Happy 4th of July!! -Yubin, Sohee & Lim

It seems Yoo Bin and So Hee now closer wt Lim

Jo Kwon has just up some photo he was at the beach, dont know whether the girls went with him or not? Hope they went with him and up some photos , hottest bikini babes ha ha

[Guest goldenGAZE]

I absolutely love how active the girls are on Twitter. They're getting to express a normal side to them. First with Yeeun's vid of WonderAM on the roller coaster and then the picture of Yoobin-Sohee-Lim celebrating 4th July. It's nice seeing this side of them. Work hard, play harder~ . Not to mention all the girls are looking gorgeous ^^. Nice to see Sohee smiling too.

I'm really excited hearing news of a new album coming soon. Can't wait to hear all the hot new tracks. I'm still in love with their first album.

Also Sunye really is an amazing leader, after what happened to her recently (with her father passing away). For her to continue on with the tour and continue to give a great performance to all of the fans...it truly brings tears to my eyes. Such dedication and love towards your fans is truly a remarkable thing (man i sound soo corny, but she really is amazing to be able to go back on stage and carry on with the show). The other girls must be doing a great job supporting her. Stay strong WG's!

[Guest songbird86]

^There's news of their upcoming U.S. album! Where?! I've searched the board and can't find it. Can someone post it up for me?

Thanks in advance.

[Guest qoxie]

They are just random comments.

That's the result of treating a message board like a shoutbox, some of which already run foul of the one-line forum rule.

WG's LP album is slated for a Fall release, which means between September (earliest) & November (furthest).

Here's a fast English-sub version of the comical 'Hyori's Swamp' MV on the Haha Mong show from Sunday.

She was fearless in mocking her public image &, near the end, "warned off" the idol girl-groups (including WG) about outlasting them.

Mark PD Twitter

I've just checked MissA utube account, and OMG Joined: October 27, 2005

2AM also was created in 2005 and 2PM in 2006

Maybe Wonder Girls supposed to be MissA ?

Wonder Girls account was created in January, 2007, I think because of the name of MTV1 and MTV2, so then they officially use the name Wonder Girls

I think JYP thought about the group names many years before and creat the youtube account so early, youtube just established in mid - 2005

you're able to acquire inactive youtube accounts. the previous owner to that channel hasnt been active for a while or it has been suspended in the past, jype probably acquired this channel recently. i really doubt that the inital account was for the current missA

[wehisjen]

Oh, WonderAM were at Adventuredome Theme Park in Circus Circus. They were on a water ride called The Rim Runner where they dropped and got splashed. LOL!

When Yoo Bin calculate the number of shows left and mention Hawaii, Sun ye's expression :"Hawaii?" ha ha

Tweet from Yenny, she is studying Spanish hard

buenas noches ! good night everyone~ XOXO

@WGyenny yenny i wonder if u change ur clock time a lot every time u travel to diff time zone country and state ^^ *curious*..kekekeke

@dolphinWG oh actually i don't use a watch, just check them on my phone i don't really like wearing it on.. haha

This one is so sweet

@WGyenny Dear Park YeEun, Yenny Park.. I trust that you read all your tweets, so I trust you will read this really long one

As a Spanish speaking WG fan, I'm happy you are learning Spanish. I'm even more happy and honored because you are doing it on your own, because you want to, right?

Don't be sad if JYP asks you to continue studying English... I know you are on a stage were studying English can become really tedious, because you can already speak English, but now you need to make it more perfect and expand your vocabulary...

Spanish, you can speak in Latin America and Spain, but English you can speak everywhere. Even if you have an interview in Latin America you can speak English, it's like when an American star visits Korea to promote. Though knowing a little Spanish doesn't hurt, it will make them love you more (hehe) and you'll be able to get an idea about what they are saying about you So once again I thank you for your effort.

Your Spanish speaking fans are really happy and excited, going crazy with the news about you learning the language haha.

I remember, I once asked you if you could be my English tutor and you sort of said it was a bad idea but using your newly learned third conditional skills at the time lol then I started calling you my tutor yenny just cuz~~ hahaha

You have many Spanish speaking followers so if you need help just ask away.. (I'm pretty sure JYP knows your secret already LOL)

Here take a look at your Daum Fan Cafe message translated to Spanish hahaha http://wonderfanaticos.com/2010/07/05/14713/

Cuídese Yenny! <3

*Cuídese = Take care, it can also be Cuídate but Cuídese is more formal/respectful oh and if you want to laugh... hahaha = jajaja LOL

@n3ssa_chan jajaja my little friend Vanie always laughs like that! jajaja

[Guest cr15co]

i was checking the wonder girls tour schedule today, to my surprise i was amazed that they're in Denver, Colorado. no offense to anyone that lives in Denver. i'm just amazed that they are able to put a show in Denver, wow congrats to the wonder girls and to livenation for putting on a show for their fans in Colorado. hope they enjoy the scenery and elevation since they are 5,280 feet above sea level. why is it every time i think of Denver, that show SOUTH PARK comes to mind.

[Guest BoAspika]

Characteristics of Popular Girl Groups – SPECIAL ISSUE

Previous Girl Groups’ Japanese Development and Current Prosperity

Korean girl groups’ history goes back to 1998. Back then, there were 3 extremely popular girl groups; S.E.S, Fin.K.L and BABY VOX. Eventually, the R&B Unit S.E.S made up of Bada, Eugene, and Shoo, began developing their activities in Japan, partially because Korea’s representative songstress Lee Hyori, leader of Fin.K.L, was staying in the role of Korea’s traditional idol. Also, Yoon Eunhye’s (who is currently an actress) group BABY VOX stepped toward China.

Previously, there was another 4 member idol group called S.O.S who debuted in Japan, but S.E.S had a full-blown debut and was able to be the first successful Korean girl group in Japan. Perhaps the influx of popular Korean artists entering the Japanese market is due to the success S.E.S had in Japan. However, after that groups like Sugar and JEWELRY went to Japan one after the other and didn’t have a big break. That wasn’t necessarily a complete mistake, the girl groups were cheering with all their might during the Korea-Japan sponsored World Cup and their popularity temporarily increased, but then rapidly began to fall.

On a different subject, in 2007 the Wonder Girls debuted. JYP, the same person who produced Bi (Rain), created the wonder girls. They have music that resembles music from the 70s~80s and “Tell Me” was their big break. SNSD was formed from S.M. ENTERTAINMENT who formerly produced S.E.S. Also, DSP media who created Fin.K.L had KARA debut, and once again it’s the golden age of girl groups.

Characteristics of Popular Girl Groups

SNSD is made up of 9 members and they do dramas, variety programs, among other things and show how lovely they are. In “GEE” they showed their catchy dance which was a hot topic from kids to adults. KARA is walking in Fin.K.L’s footsteps as being the traditional idols, “Honey” was their big break, and “Mr.”’s butt dance became a hot topic, both (SNSD & KARA) have become national idols.

In order to have hit songs in K-POP it’s almost a rule to have unique dance performances like Wonder Girls’ “Tell Me” and KARA’s butt dance. The dances become a popular topic of conversation (even in news programs) and fan’s also copy the choreography and fill up websites with their copied dance videos. In the late 90s Namie Amuro and SPEED (Note: These are Japanese artists) attracted people by this, girls would copy their dances and in turn it was easy for them (the artists) to be accepted in Japan.

Also, 2008 and after street dance groups reformed Korea’s girl pop. From the start Korean raps have been in songs. It was standard to have a rap inserted into a dance song and girl groups who tried to be “cool” instead of “cute” were born. First on the list is the female BIGBANG, 2NE1. Then multinational group f(x) debuted with members from Korea, China and America. These girls are valued for their high charisma and powerful performances. Also, Wonder Girls’ original member Hyunah and current member of 4Minute, is also recognized as being a fashion leader.

Senpai Boy Groups co-star, bond and support their protégées

In 2009 this is how girl groups appeared (to the public). Already DBSK and BIGBANG have established their popularity in Japan and have rapidly increased recognition for K-POP. Coincidently, the popularity for girl groups from those boy groups’ companies has also increased.

There is a steady hierarchical relationship in Korea, Girl groups are in the position of younger sisters to Senpai groups (Note: Senpai is the same as sunbae), so it’s natural they appear together in their music programs, concerts, music videos, etc. 2NE1’s debut song “Lollipop” was a collaboration with BIGBANG. SNSD members have appeared in DBSK and SUPER JUNIOR’s music videos. KARA members have also frequently worked with their senpai’s SS501. T-ara collaborated with a group from their same company called Supernova and formed a boy-girl unit called TTL. The project single “TTL (Time To Love) ranked 1st on 8 online music distribution sites.

Even in Japan you can directly see boy and girl groups working together through the internet or cable TV by watching Korean popular music shows and music videos. Due to this many female fans of the boy groups also become fans of the girls. Former girl groups were supposed to target men, but current girl groups are supported overwhelmingly by girls. It’s the effect of being in the position of younger sister to the boy groups. Moreover, fashion, being sexy, being cute, and dance performances (which are copied by both genders) seem to be the driving forces in their charm and popularity.

It is even charming to remember seeing DBSK and BIGBANG, speak shaky Japanese at first. In 2010, Korean girl groups will successively come to Japan, and thus will be all over Asia’s music scene.
