Wonder Girls’ Career Hit-Single Nobody Rocks Philippines
This South Korean girl group pop sensation or better known as the Wonder Girls is now famous here in the Philippines with their hit single “Nobody”. The Filipinos love to hear this song while doing the so-called “clap-clap-point” dance step. A big hit in Korea since early 2008, the Wonder Girls has crossed over to Manila in such a big way that even the world-famous Cebu inmates have a video which show the boys dancing to the song.
The group originally composed of five members such as Sun Ye (Sun), Sun Mi (Mimi), Sohee, Ye Eun (Yenny), and Yubin. Ex-member Hyuna was removed from the group by her parents due to their concern over her health in particular, chronic gastroenteritis. The Wonder Girls was produced by singer-songwriter Park Jin-Young and are signed to his talent agency, JYP entertainment.
On February 28, 2009, the group had their first international tour in Bangkok, Tailand. Then, they together with mentor JYP held concerts in the United States visiting several states such as Los Angeles, La Mirada, and New York City. The Wonder Girls joined the concert of Jonas Brothers on the North American leg of the Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009. Due to demands, the group also released an English version of their single “Nobody”. The girls’ US debut album is up for release next year.
The Wonder Girls has already released a mini-album (“The Wonder Begins”), three full-length albums (“The Wonder Years”, “So Hot” and “The Wonder Years Trilogy”) and they have earned two Daesangs (their equivalent to the Grammy’s). They have three consecutive Number Ones under their belts: “Tell Me”, “So Hot” and “Nobody”.
