Remember when the Wonder Girls went on tour w/ the Jonas Brothers?

[poseidon]

performing as an opening act;

 

jobros featured them on their live chat, mentioning JYP's ping pong skills, in-n-out and like 2 questions actually for them

[Lugoose]

omg what

[jvng]

oh my god im cringing all over

[---]

if it were up to me, jb would have been the opening act for WG 

[bromiscuous]

I don't remember because I got into kpop in 2011.

Wasn't that a dent in their career though? While they promoted in america SNSD got traction in korea?

[DeeZee]

Yeah, those were fun times. Didn't they also have a movie on Nickelodeon?

[Guest]

wtf

 

i didn't know this

[camelliabloom]

Ugh not this, I feel sad even thinking of their attempt at securing the American market...

[naibloo]

wtf

 

i didn't know this

omg what

New kpop fans are so tender~

[SockMonkey]

and their movie on nickelodeon

[WINE]

lol YES and i still remember some fans actually ship yoobin with one of the members (i forgot who) at that time 

[DeeZee]

 

I respect JYP for trying to break into the U.S. market. But SM knew better--America is a different ball game. K-Pop idols don't have a snowballs chance in hell over here. But Wonder Girls made it further than anyone else.

[Danny Potter]

Well Nobody charted on the Billboard Hot 100 for like 2 weeks right?

No they didn't. SM tried to break into the American market with BoA in 2009 (self-titled album) and again with Girls' Generation in 2011 (The Boys). Needless to say, things didn't go too well in the US for either of them.

Oh okay not bad for a foreign act, I meant I thought they lost popularity in korea while they promoted in America

they did, they didn't release anything in Korea in 2009 and only released 2 different tears in 2010 and then didn't release anything til nov 2011 so some of their Korean fanbase decreased

 

However they still were really popular with the General Public, WG has 4.1m downloads for Be My Baby, 2 Different Tears also did really well digitally

Oh, I didn't know about that BOA album lol

[HotTea]

No

[mrmith]

[Aya Sama]

I also remember when they had their own US tour

 

and by tour I don't mean just having a concert in Cali and NY either

[Oppa did mean it]

Yeah, those were fun times. Didn't they also have a movie on Nickelodeon?

As the Kpop bible said:
