HAVE U GUYS HEARD OF THIS KOREAN GIRL BAND? If U don't know..here's some info. ^^
Wonder Girls is a South Korean girl group. They are produced by singer-songwriter Park Jin-Young and are signed to his talent agency, JYP Entertainment. It consists of 5 Girls from age 15-19.
Members
Min Sun Ye: August 12, 1989 {Age 18}
Park Ye Eun: May 26, 1989 {Age 18}
Sun Mi: May 2, 1992 {Age 15}
Ahn So Hee: June 27, 1992 {Age 15)}
Kim Yoo Bin: October 4, 1988 {Age 19}
Beginnings and debut: 2007-present
Each of the five original members were selected through auditions; the oldest, Ye Eun, was the last member to be added, after having previously been rejected. They debuted on February 11, 2007 on M! Countdown, singing the hip-hop number "Irony", the title song of their debut mini-album, The Wonder Begins.
On June 25, 2007, member Ahn So Hee was sidelined for a month after tearing a knee ligament falling off a motorcycle during the filming of (Some Like It Hot), causing the group to promote as a four-member group. Ahn returned to promotions after healing, but the group returned to a four-member group once again as Kim Hyun A left the group in late July due to her parents' concern over her health—in particular, chronic gastroenteritis which had her hospitalized briefly in March and April.
The group would continue to be a four-member band until Good Entertainment, management of the popular boy band Shinhwa, switched their trainee Kim Yoo Bin to JYP as Hyun A's replacement in early September. She debuted three days later in the group's live performance on Music Bank of Tell Me, a 1980s disco-themed number from their first album, The Wonder Year.
On September 14, 2007, all five members (including their manager and stylist) were briefly hospitalized with concussion and other minor injuries after an early-morning traffic accident returning from a performance at Dong-Eui Institute of Technology in Pusan. The van in which they were travelling rear-ended a taxi, killing the driver of the taxi and injuring nine others.
As of December 2007, the Wonder Girls were still performing songs from their album, including "Tell Me" and "This Fool" at music festivals and on gayo television shows, but plan to cut back on their schedule to prepare for their college entrance examinations.
Wonder Girls plan to debut in the U.S. around February 2008 at the earliest. They will tour New York, Los Angeles, and two other American cities with their mentor and producer Park Jin-young for his month-long “Bad Concert” as a special guest. Park plans the concert to be also a showcase for his other protégés, such as Min, G-Soul, and Im Jeong-hee. Wonder Girls management company, JYP Entertainment, announced that world-famous stars like R. Kelly, Outkast, and Will Smith are scheduled to attend the concert.
