Wonder Girls Makes Successful TV Debut in USA

The Wonder Girls, South Korea’s pop sensation now active in the United States, made a successful appearance on a U.S. TV talk show on Monday with hit song “Nobody.”

The five-member girl band sang the song in English on the daytime Wendy Williams Show in New York and drew a standing ovation. The members enthralled the spectators by wearing the same clothes as in South Korea. The producers also created a stage similar to that from the music video of the song.

The talk show Web site was plastered with postings invariably praising the Wonder Girls’ performance. One of the postings said, “I love the Wonder Girls! Thanks Wendy for having them on your show. I love you and the Wonder Girls. I love watching your show and I also hope everyone will support the Wonder Girls debut in America.”

Park Jin-young, CEO of JYP Entertainment, the group’s agency, was quoted as saying, “They killed it! They always deliver in crunch time.”

Other Wonder Girls hit songs include “Tell Me” and “So Hot.” The five members are Sun, Yenny, Mimi, Sohee and Yubin.

The Wendy Williams Show was created by Emmy Award-winning producer Rob Dauber and made its debut on July 13, 2009, covering celebrity interviews, cooking segments, and the latest beauty and fashion trends.

IMO, the Wonder Girls did a very commendable job granted it was their first ever TV performance in the USA (and nationwide to boot)! It did felt strange listening to them sing their hit song Nobody in English but that’s probably because I heard them sing Nobody a gazillion times in Korean so I guess I wasn’t used to it. The girls didn’t show any jitters though some Netizens have asked whether this was truly a live performance or if it was lip synced. Granted, this is great for Kpop music and Korean entertainment as a whole and hopefully this opens more doors for talented artists in Asia to make it big in the USA.

Check out the video where the girls performed a very ‘Supreme-esque’ like spectacle…
