Jyp's Wonder Girls (원더걸스) Official Thread 2

[AsherTua]

As far as im aware, when they say the album will be in OST format, it means they're not going to have one distinct concept and will fit their concept based on the songs they promote. (What i've read on allkpop's comments section anyway LOL)

Well i dont know about you guys but if you've watched the official videos from JYP Nation in Japan, I'm liking what im hearing. Quality wise. It sounds HD too

If i remember correctly JYPE stated that they recorded all of the Girls' new material using their new system that they used in JYP Nation in Japan rather than the one they used in Korea last year.

If this is the case then their songs would be SO EARGASMIC

Totally excited~

I really wish they'd stop mentioning Wonder Girls with the names of other girl groups in articles. Yes Wonder Girls are coming back at the same time as many other girl groups but Wonder Girls are Wonder Girls the other girl groups are themselves. These kind of articles just add fuel to fire & creates even more tension amongst fanclubs. Isn’t it bad enough that Wonder Girls get bashed left & right on Allkpop, Youtube & almost every other Kpop site? I’m almost afraid to click on the related articles I can find on top of the page. I don't have the energy to engage in an argument with people who keep on badmouthing Wonder Girls.

Anyway I’m not threatened about such articles. I love Wonder Girls & no one can change it. I’m going to support them in any way I can. Let’s just focus our energies on supporting the girls instead of talking about things not related to them. Wonder Girls <333 Wonderfuls <333 Keep your chin up my fellow fans!

Edit - I topped a page! haha!

Will just share this cute gif of Junho & Sun Ye. (Wish I could hug all my fellow Wonderfuls this way to cheer them up! <3)

OST is Original Soundtrack.

@Je_jee

And the Korean album is not the OST album that's going to be an American album, for their movie. The Korean Album is going to be a Mini album, so yeah. The two albums will have different tracks. So yeah.

~Linda~

Well I know what OST mean I wasn't sure what they meant by it going to be like OST format. Because I don't know what OST format is like, but I guess v Asher already explain it.

Yeah right I thought that too, I wonder if they meant the American album going to be in OST format not the Korean one. I am very confused, but if it is like what Asher say than that would mean the girls would promoted more than just one song. . O_O for their Korean comeback. Sigh can November come any faster.

As fat as im aware, when they say the album will be in OST format, it means they're not going to have one distinct concept and will fit their concept based on the songs they promote. (What i've readon allkpop's comments section anyway LOL)

[Guest r1988]

I think some of u are being over dramatic about the article that soompi wrote about our girls and snsd….both groups are the top female groups in Korea with highest achievement comparing to all other female groups and they are making their comeback at the same month ,so its normal for both of them to be compared to one another ......beside if this how u guys reacted to one article then what would u guys do when both groups actually start promoting ?!! ,and u would not only read one article but 100 of articles comparing them to one another.

JYPE seems to be more serious about the girls comeback comparing to their 2DT comeback , so Im expecting their title track to be as strong as their pervious hits or something like miss A BGGG….Since JYPE did not reveal any details about their concept except its pop and not retro then Im hoping for them to do sexy mature concept or dark concept like goodbye

[Guest floral93]

guys did the girls work with a european music producer fredro can't remember but i think they did..well he tweeted about the the situation of teddy riley few days ago, even he finds it odd

[Guest aloversrendezvous]

I'm not too sure if this was shared before or not, but here are the links to watch "Heartbeat" and "10 out of 10" at JYP Nation in Japan. Spazzing at the interactions and the performances! The girls are flawless.

Heartbeat with the Wonder Girls, miss A and 2pm:

@floral93 Fredro (Frederick Odesjo) has worked with the Wonder Girls for their US record at the beginning of the year.

(He mentioned a few weeks later a meeting with JYP and Rainstone).

I tweeted this last night, but for those of you who didn't see it:

WG is among the finalists for CETV 华娱卫视's 亚洲十大红人盛典 (informally: "Asia Top 10 Stars for 2012 ceremony").

Here is the link: http://bit.ly/oJu9bH

It will take place on Oct 22 -- I'd tweeted it incorrectly as Oct 12, sorry! -- at the Dalian World Expo Center.

It is not one of the major TV stations in China, & I read the event is also more to celebrate CETV's 7th Anniversary. Their inaugural awards show was last year.

The winners are supposed to be via fan ballot but I doubt this will happen; the ongoing voting on weibo isn't that substantive anyway.

Seems more like the kind of gala that will "reward" a prize for any participating celebrity.

Not sure the girls will attend, but then it's only a quick plane flight from Seoul & back.

Also, the Kpop nominee shortlist is noticeably dominated by JYP Nation acts, & the latest news report say missA will perform as well.

So maybe JYP China is networking with CETV behind the scenes, & WG may grace the show as a favor.

Can lurking Thai WFs help me out with this:

Where did MCOT Seed FM interview WG last year? Was it at the radio station, or at the girls' hotel (in which case, where did WG stay during the trip)?

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone!!

I cannot wait for Wonder girls Come-back. When I first got to know about Kpop they were at the top but sadly they went kind of MIA in Korea and more sadly for Kpop industry, if you're not in the news regularly people tend to forget about you *sigh* or what I hope, they are recharging their energy while waiting for their Idol's Come-back

I really really hope it's not a rushed one and JYP put in much effort and thought in this. I want to relive the Wonder Girls hype once again, the one that made me fell in love Kpop music.

So with that said keep LOADS of teasers coming

[lomahtw]

Having briefly read through most comments on the latest pages, I have found this thread are

1. It is coming alive and active again (I am a regular reader who has come in average every other day in the past year +).  it looks to me the closer their Korea comeback is getting, the more active this thread is getting.

2. Sleeping wonderfuls are waking up internationally and domestically (Korea).  I am an international fan.

3. Some comments are bit negative but not in a bad way. Most comments are however positive.  Every wonderful and fans (fan is different from wonderful even they are fan) are getting pumped up.

4. Their comeback is no longer with retro concept but a modern concept instead. ( not officially confirmed?).  I've always thought the queens shouldn't stay with the retro concept but rather try something new and modern.  Their retro is the best among girl groups but it's time to let go.  In fact the queens are actually very young.

5. Some comments did mention some other girl group names.  To me it is perfectly alright but I guess it may violate Soompi's rules.  First of all I honestly don't think those comments with names mentioned have any bad intentions toward any other girl groups at all.  My suggestion is to do it discreetly without mentioning any names.  In that case comparisons can be made and Soompi's rules are not broken. Truely sometime comparisons may be needed in comments in order to help clearly express your thoughts or what you wanna say.  This should be understood.

6. Every wonderful should do what they can to help the queens in their comeback.  Anything or any way is fine as long as you can afford it.  A small thing or a big thing.

7, The queens' credits in the Hallyu has been recognized and acknowledged, or even documented. We don't need to worry about that and Korean entertainment industry knows that.   Nevertheless, we must understand Kpop is just like any other entertaiment. If you stay low(not active enough) from the public, it will only be logical and reasonable for you to lose attentions and supports from the public.  This has nothing to with this girl group or that girl group, one way or another there should a girl group or girl groups to somewhat replace the queens' position.  Kpop is pop and pop keeps changing as time goes by.

8. Here comes my prediction, (no human in this world know the future but can only predict the future),  the queens and JYP are actually trying to fill up this time gap with this Korea comeback between now and the day they release their US album and movie.  The main purposes are to

- regroup all wonderfuls and fans (new wonderfuls, causal fans and new fans)

- strengthen wonderful fanbase (old or new)

- boost up wonderful and fan confidence about the queens

- get prepared and warmed up for their US album and movie in the 1st quarter of 2012

9.  Finally we must realize their US debut is the most important thing for the queens and JYP, they have given up their 'nobody dynasty' in exchange of 3 years of hardship.  Now everthing is going down to the wire and the outcome will be measured and concluded by the end of the 1st quarter of 2012 (provided the US album is released and the movie is aired)  I don't predict it here but will keep my fingers crossed and hope for a good news.

Thank you all for reading my comment and I am sure that there will be something or some points missing here.  I will edit this comment or post new comments when needed.

HAIL TO THE QUEENS. (I didn't mention 'Wonder Girls' cuz they are THE QUEENS)
