It's a wonderful life for these girls
Hate them with a passion or love them to bits, it doesn't matter what you think of Korean pop sensation Wonder Girls. "I want nobody, nobody but you" and the dance steps that matches the lyrics are annoyingly stuck in your head and you know it.
The heat for Wonder Girls is still very much burning strong as nobody but this girl group could have spread their popularity from Asia to the United States, marking them as the first Korean group to have made it into the Billboard Hot 100 with the super catchy single Nobody.
After slight changes in the line-up, the current members are Sun-Ye, Ye-Eun, Yu-Bin, So-hee, and group newbie Hye-rim.
Previous member Hyuna had initially left Wonder Girls due to a health problem and has since joined a new Korean girl group named 4 Minutes while Sun Mi left the group to pursue her academic career although she is still considered as part of the group by fans. Wonder Girls management company JYP has since stated that she is welcome back anytime to join the girls as the sixth member.
The single Nobody proved so popular, that American fans have posted many different remakes of the songs on the Internet, which caught the girls by surprise.
"I guess no matter where you come from, since the day the Internet was born, we can search and explore any genres of music and it really doesn't matter if you are a Korean or an American," said So Hee.
"We missed home a lot while in America. Growing up in Korea all my life, it proved a little difficult trying to adapt to the American culture. But we got used to it after a problem and has since joined a new Korean girl group named 4 Minutes while Sun Mi left the group to pursue her academic career although she is still considered as part of the group by fans.
