In 2009, Wonder Girls first made advancements into the US market by touring with artists like The Jonas Brothers and Justin Bieber and became the first Korean group to crack the Billboard Hot 100 with their international smash single "Nobody". In 2010, they followed up with their successful first headlining tour of the US and expanded their brand by selling Wonder Girls clothing, nail polish, school supplies and more at tween clothing stores across America.

In 2011, they'll release their official debut English album.



Live on So You Think You Can Dance:

I can't @ Cat Deeley calling them "Asia's #1 pop group." These bitches slay my life.

Live on Wendy Williams:

Wendy's excitement + the crowd receiving them well.

crack the Billboard Hot 100 with their international smash single "Nobody".



Sis, who? I haven't heard from them at all. Smash? No way.

Well "cracking" BillBoard Hot 100 can be as simple as debuting at 99

Did I say it was a smash in America? No, I said they cracked the BB Hot 100 with their international smash, and it IS an international smash, dominating airwaves in several nations throughout Asia. Your ignorance is showing.

Asia is not international. Asia is continental
Your lack of geographic knowledge is showing.

Please post receipts.

Before the queens come in here with their catty ********, I just want to point out that you can't hold an Asian crossover act to the same standards as US artists that are part of a very small, exclusive elite group of pop superstars like Rihanna and Lady Gaga etc. Charting on the Hot 100 even at a low position and headlining a successful US tour is something that has never been done by a Korean crossover act. Nothing they've done yet has failed, all things considered. They've achieved every goal they set out for so far.

Did you see me comparing them to anyone? And not just question their existence in general?



Are you from Korea? Don't they mean South Korean... Like those communists in the North would ever set up anything like this...

Are you kidding me?

Korea, China, Malaysia, Philippines, etc. are all individuals nation. They have their own languages, cultures, governments etc. Would you say a song that was popular in several countries throughout Europe is not an international success?

Was that post directed at you? It even implied otherwise if you were too stupid to notice the lack of a quote in my post...

They were on Wendy Williams and So You Think You Can Dance? This is the kinda stuff Utada should have done, her label was full of crap


I don't really like their music much but maybe I'll like them after this album. Do they have an accent ?

3 of them still have spotty English. However Lim and Yenny are now fluent.

I know what a nation is but for me, International = above continenatal level. I'm not here saying Holland artists like Marco Borsato or Jan Smit are international because they had a hit in Holland & Belgium.

They are not relevant. They have no international success. It was not an international smash. An Asian smash maybe, but crack Hot 100 is not a smash and does not make it international smash. There you go.

Queens have their own topic.

It doesn't matter what it is to you. It matters what it is.

And again, you are wrong about them not having international success, because ASIA IS NOT ONE NATION. It is a continent with several individual nations. It's not one nation any more than Europe is. United Kingdom, Spain, France, Russia ... One nation? No. United States and Mexico, one nation? I think not. What is so difficult to understand about that? I think you're getting international confused with global or world-wide. 2 different definitions.

On the subject of 'relevancy', you seem to think that the only success that matters is success that is apparent to you. Are Utada Hikaru's 50 million+ albums sold readily apparent to you in Holland? Probably not, but are you going to try and tell me that over 50 milli is irrelevant? Honestly, "relevant" is a very subjective term to argue with... One country's customs and culture may not be "relevant" in another country, for example.

Likewise, it doesn't have to crack the Hot 100 to be an international smash. It was an international smash before it cracked the Hot 100.

No. Actually, I didn't imply you whatsoever. You taking the defensive because you felt like it applied to you is not my fault or my problem.

Darkchild gave JYJ the only gem on thier "english debut" ("Empty") so hopefully he can give something good to WG aswell.

I'm sure JYPE wouldn't settle for a substandard track. They've been in the US for a while now and he seems to have a better understanding of the US market than JYJ's management. I'm sure the track(s) will be decent.

Darkchild

At least they finally realized their corny K-pop material could never work in the US.

Learn to read.

Why was this post even made (just to pick a fight?)???

International just simply means more than one nation. It was popular in more than one nation in Asia and debuted inside the Top 100 in the United States. I think it's fair to call it that.

Let's not be juvenile.
