Wonder Girls

     Wonder Girls (Korean: 원더걸스) is a famous South Korean girl group. Its producer and manager is singer-songwriter Park Jin-Young and the Wonder Girls is signed to his talent agency, JYP Entertainment. The meaning behind the name of the group, 'Wonder Girls' comes from the idea that they are 'the girls who can amaze the world'. Each of the five original members were selected through auditions. Debuting in early 2007, they became popular in the fall of that year with the song "Tell Me." They have scored five #1 hit singles: "Tell Me", "So Hot", "Nobody", "2 Different Tears" and "Be My Baby. In 2008, they won two Daesangs ("Artist of the Year" Awards).
     The group began their entry into the American market in 2009 as an opening act for The Jonas Brothers' World Tour, performing the English version of their hit single "Nobody".

2012: International promotions: US, China, Japan and Korean comeback

      In January, the girls promoted in Taiwan for “2012 Superstar Red & White Red White Music Festival” (2012超級巨星紅白藝能大賞), with label mates miss A.
     Then, they returned to American activities with their made-for- TV movie "The Wonder Girls". They also released the soundtrack for this movie titled, "The DJ is Mine" featuring School Gyrls. It was released on January 11. Soon after release, "The DJ is Mine" reached #1 on multiple Korean charts. The girls then attended the 2012 CES, the world's largest consumer technology tradeshow. They also promoted a new line of Monsters headphones, called "Diamond Tears". They attended the premiere for their movie at the CGV Cinemas in Los Angeles, California on January 20. The television premiere held on February 2 at TeenNick channel.
     The members are currently preparing for their first English debut album set to be released in the USA sometime in 2012. "Like Money" will serve as its lead single. It was recently featured in their TV movie "The Wonder Girls".
     Due to delay on Asian promotions, Wonder Girls promoted later than planned. During March, the girls attended a Chinese dance show "Let's Shake it" (舞林大会), performing "Nobody" and "Be My Baby" to promote the Asian version of Wonder World.
JYP tweeted that the American album will included 12 new tracks along with the "biggest scale ever" music video with a huge surprise on the 1st single, slated with the release in the summer, waiting on US distributors and marketing. Along with the US album, a Korean comeback is in production slated for a summer release. Also, mention a "surprise" for Japanese Wonderful by mid-April which is hinting a Japanese foray.
