With sales like this shouldn't the likes of T-ara and WG be in the top twenty best-selling girl groups in the world already?

T-ara, defnitely. Bo Peep Bo Peep, Like The First Time, I go Crazy Because Of You, Roly-Poly, Wae Ireoni, Yayaya, Cry Cry, Lovey-Dovey and Sexy Love alone sold over 21 million downloads.

IDK about WG, the digital market in Korea had its boom in 2009/2010. Their only real huge sellers are Be My Baby and 2 Different Tears.

EDIT: Day By Day was also a great seller for T-ara so they have over 23 million downloads at least

What is this nonsense some of you are spewing about miss A? Hush is their best MV and vocal performance, and Touch has their best choreography by far + is their best overall release (with Independent Women pt.III in second place). Where are you getting the idea that they're being shoved aside just because you don't like their recent material? And why in God's name would Suzy leave the group? She's popular, not stupid.

And furthermore why would anyone want a Sunmi-Lim-Yubin-Yenny reformation of the Wonder Girls? Sunmi doesn't need/want to be in a group as she had made very clear, Yenny's talent would be wasted, and Lim and Yubin would be doing the same amount of nothing they always have. What's the point of shoving them all back together again when WG as a brand is clearly dead? It would be awful and soulless. Probably one of the worst JYP ventures ever.

Idk what it is but lately there has been some Mr.-Fantastic-level reaching in here.

I thought his pinkish hair a couple days back was bad but it's getting lighter and pinker and it doesn't suit him at all.

Looks like Woohyun beside him.

were not talking about touch . everything about independent women III was a mess the outfits , the song the mv the concept just pure tacky mess

Cheers

Hush was good idk what y'all talking about.

But let's discuss the strong possibilities of SISTAR working with Shinsadong Tiger (Fiction, NoNoNo, Bubble Pop!)

Oh and rumor has it they will be the last single from the Brave Brothers anniversary album. Very fitting

You're so right. WG is dead Sunye clearly feels that helping others is more fulfilling not to mention she's a mother now. Sunmi is doing her thing and doing it very well.

It just wont work anymore.

yeah she can't go around shaking her ass all over the stage now that she's a mom

Disco_Blisters

Blueberry spilling that sad but true tea

At this point if WG ever reunite it should just be for a special performance with a melody of their hits
All the members have amazing Talent and I hope JYP isn't stupid enough to let them ALL go to waste

Xalric

I definitely can use some Lim solo. Act Cool was good

Giving me Natalia Capuccini teas (Natalia Kills back when she was a rapper, in Europe).

Personally speaking if I were a WG member I wouldn't have resigned with JYP because at this point I don't feel like the company is gonna do anything with them. Sohee was right to jump ship when she had the chance. They debuted years ago and as a group they're long past their peak. Plus, like all of the major companies right now, JYP are focussing on debuting new idols and reinventing their image (and rightly so), and while all of the WG members are obviously super talented with potential to do more and be more, I don't think it would make much sense to prioritise any of them as individual singers or whatever at this point.

To be completely honest I'm surprised Sunmi has managed to step out on her own without flopping. I guess she's just got the right combo of solid material with the bonus of having been away from the WG brand for long enough that people don't associate her closely with it anymore.

This. As much as I loved them you gotta know when it's time to let it go.

I Don't Need A Man certainly wasn't riveting but Suzy with a mustache made me irrationally happy so I can't drag the MV. The track itself is mediocre (though still enjoyable), but every other song on the mini is amazing. Ma Style, If I Were A Boy, Madness, Time's Up >>>>>> 4 of their best songs imo.

Yeah, basically. I think Yenny can still do well there, though. As a writer/producer plus a strong singer she has a bunch of opportunities opening up for her.

Just the thought of the legacy being tarnished with replacements for Sunye and Sohee is disastrous as well! I can't see any fans taking that well. No one needs or wants another Jewelry

I would like to see them back together someday but I see it being more of a one-off Spice Girls type reunion for a special event or something, not a full fledged comeback or anything.

I need a comeback from B0P Minute or B0P B or B0P Icon.

The mother comment was more due to the fact she has a kid to take care of.
Sunye seems the type to want to be there for her kid growing up if she were a WG member again it would conflict with her schedule. And the netizens would eat her alive if she shook her ass.

It's sad because JYP clearly trained these girls for a US debut their english was really good.
They had potential.

Remember when Like Money went top 50 on pop radio?

The smash that got away.
