me! Interesting how k-pop evolved, but second gen still hits!
People saying this was too "international" and got away from their K-pop roots. Fast forward to 2020 and most songs in K-pop sound very similar to this. Wonder Girls were ahead of their time!
Right! And they don't realise that this was the point of the song, so it could reach the international market.
yaa
I have to disagree with you.
If you listen to most of the music that are famous in Korea, they are not autotuned like this.
Like every 10 min I could hear either "shampoo scent in the flowers", "Gaho - Start" (from Itaewon class) or "IU - Eight" when I was walking on the street in Korea.
so true
Yeah this sound is like 2020ish kpop now.hehe
Unpopular fact: This song was just ahead of its time.
hmm not really, this is actually very early 2010s pop, elctropop with dubstep
@@gzilla_00 no I mean if this was released now, it would be more huge... cuz this kind of music is still so popular these days.
@@happydepressed9210 especially in terms of the kpop scene. Kpop in 2012 wasn't like this at all and groups like Wonder Girls and Girls Generation paved the way for big Kpop Groups like BlackPink to have international sucess. I mean even to the fact that the words are sung in English much how Ice Cream by Black Pink is sung in English too.
Omg this was the bop of the century
Big facts
I can’t believe Akon did a song with wonder girls and I’m JUST now finding out about it
Best song from Akon?
I knew about it in 2018 I was kpop obsessive and I was going to discover every kpop group in exist but there are just so many so its not going to be possible and there are new groups....
@@streamillellamamamoomv3889 You can just search in K-Profile.If I'm not wrong,all the kpop artists' (solo/groups) names are there.
@@justneoclowning9229 yup I saw that they missed some tho.
Lmao 😂😂
this is a good song sad that didn't make sucess for their american debut
They was seven years early ...i mean if it wasn't for the disintegration of the grpup these girls would kill it
The concept isn't very captivate, the song itself is very catchy but de MV...
TY21 Entertainment maybe it’s cuz of the mv concept
2NE1 HEY
TY21 Entertainment it wasn’t really well promoted and there were a lot of popular artists that made comebacks so it overshadowed them. JYP and YG should’ve just forgot about American debut and focused on the asian market. They tried so hard to get WG and 2NE1 into America but they weren’t having it.
This would have been a hit all across the world if they were promoted correctly.
I agree, they had so many opportunities :(
It's 2012, the era of Gangnam Style, so you know...
gagnam style came out 3 months affter this. 3 month is enough time to blow up
This video is from 9th July 2012, Gangnam Style is from 15th July 2012 so...
Because I naughty naughty but the video was released on youtube in oktober?
I'm so mad this wasn't huge in the US, if I had heard this at the time I would have been playing this song nonstop and so would every radio
Ikr, this song is more bop then some other famous song.
So true. First time I heard this song I can't stop playing it on my list
I remember hearing this song in a couple of radio stations in the US but it wasn't as popular as it should have been.
It came on all the time on Teen Nick
✨
If social media was active back then. WONDER GIRLS could definitely rock the whole world...
Agreed!
Facts !
Tiktok goddesses
16 years later after debut and tell me is going viral
Si ! 💚
2019?
Mhmm.
Hi
Yes I miss you
Still iconic af
ㅎㅇ
*BTS WERE THE FIRST KPOP ARTISTS TO COLLABORATE WITH INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS* when you get into kpop two days ago.
y'all have a weird obsession with bts and armys
The thing is we don’t have an obsession, They are really great and all, but they aren’t the firsts like Army’s claim.
xxyyzz aa listen i love wonder girls and i kinda get what you're talking about, they're legendary and one of the most unique kpop groups and i respect them for trying to do something in america (they deserved better btw) but let's be fucking honest here, they flopped, the reason why ppl think that bts was the first do this and that in the west is bc they're doing better (yes, that's the reality), ofc new fans don't know shit about wg or snsd's attempt to break into the U.S. market believe it or not even some old kpop stans don't remember (or care about) it... do we need to pretend that this was a hot 100 top 40 hit? 😳
Who flopped? They were the first kpop act to debut in billboard top 100, if you might remember.
xxyyzz aa the first kpop act to debut in the hot 100 and the fastest to fall on the charts 😭 do you know their history or are you a newbie using their old "achievements" in america to talk about another group? wg's debut in the U.S. was a waste of time even sunmi said that, they tried tho but it... wasn't THAT good, they used to be the biggest gg in korea even bigger than snsd but jyp and his greedy ass ruined it, everyone in korea knows "tell me" but no one in america remembers them, most ppl in america didn't even know about them when they were promoting bc as I said, they were trying, but they failed... unfortunately.
No hate to blackpink and bts but everyone forget that wonder girls was the 1st kpop to do collab with western artists and make kpop international not bts ..
Wonder Girls sacrificed their high peak in Korea to promote in US and didn't get what they expected. I remember feeling so sad about them, leaving SNSD without their strongest competitor at that time. Turns out Kpop should stay as Kpop. It might shine internationally but should keep the basic 'Kpop' music in since international fans love kpop as the way it is.
I agree with your opinion, I this it's the reason why JYP haven't done international activities for twice, itzy, stray kids, and got7. Except jackson, he has solo carier on it.
I disagree, JYP just just did it wrong. YG might have something big with BLACKPINK once they finally get their global release. They’ll have an actual global label behind them compared to just Korean management trying to market them overseas.
Rondel Moore 2NE1 did very good with having a very strong international base. YG botched them though in their feed into the US market. Not a BP fan, but I hope they can get somewhere with YG that their Unnies got failed in. :(
@Serpil Orhan Idriz nope in 07/08 it was wonder girls they where more dominatant then SNSD at the time, irony and tell me out sold and outperformed Into the new world and Girls generation by a mile, back then it was called WonSoKa standing for Wonder Girls, SNSD and Kara, with wonder girls being the biggest selling girl group there numbers where on par with Boy groups, they where considered Big Bangs biggest rival not even Super junior, SS501 or TVXQ could compete with Big Bang and Wonder Girls at that time and they where the next biggest selling boy groups, sad to see that JYP let that go for american fame and fortune. But what came after this american adventure was the biggest selling Girl Band in kpop history. Litterally a band concept for a dance orientated group is probably something we will never see again. After 2009 was when 2ne1 T-Ara and sistar took the competition into there own hands and competed with snsd for top spot
Iceechibi Many People already lost interest in BP, because they only have like 12 songs or so
I can't believ JYP even made it into this video-_-😂
*Whispers* "J.Y.P"
where?
where?
+iGotBulletproofSunshine
The surgeon guy with the cellphone and pen. I just noticed too.
+iGotBulletproofSunshine 2:33 :)
They used to show this on MTV like crazy...
thats so true!
MTV still shows actual music videos? I'm shocked!
what happen.
They did??
Oh yeah, I remember that so vividly. My 12 year-old self tried to copy the dance moves, lol
I can’t be the ONLY one to think that this would have a success in Europe......... this sound was EVERYWHERE and so was Akon
Who's listening to this song in 2022?🙋♂️
2012

One thing, Wish we could go back in time!
👊🏻👊🏻
i do!!
🤚🤚🤚
this used to play on the radio oh my god the biggest bop
same, ages ago i knew the chorus so well
memetastic kylie bop?
this deserves a lot more views
+iduncare21 Yes It really does.
Wondergirls are literally so amazing!
This song was way ahead of its time and the lyrics are actually meaningful. I hope this song can resurface and get its flowers 🥰🥰
I bet this song would do so well over here if they released it now. This song is so great!
Definitely true
Nah bro nahhhhh
Just saw this today and this would still be better than songs released recently.
definitely ahead of its time
Yes
This song is still fire! heading into 2020!
I didn’t even know this was “kpop” when I first listened to the song 😭 I just knew I loved this song and them but I never knew they were gonna be the FIRST kpop group I’ve ever listened to years later 😭💖
this is easily the best english k-pop song i have ever heard. there is no competition. it's a complete shame that the wonder girls never made it big in america. ):
Stephanie Erickson the best one is nobody by wonder girls :) go search :D
Stephanie Erickson snsd the boys eng version is pretty good and yes definitely wonder girls nobody eng version my first kpop song i heard
listen to. Spica -I did it.
No body but u is great too
holy shit i remember hearing this on the radio but i didnt even know about kpop then
update: please listen to WG's new song and album! it's sooo good
Omg me too!!
Saame
update: sadly, WG disbanded T_T
T-ARA & Wonder Girls Stan
Not surprised at all. It was their time to, although amazing, they were a group for a while.
You are right. Even though it hurts seeing groups that you like so much disband, we have to understand that its just the natural thing to happen. Nothing lasts forever, music groups are no exception. People and their priorities/goals change. Its natural to feel sad about it, but all we can do is enjoy their music and wish for them the best in their lives.
The intro builds expectation, and fortunately my friends, the song does not disappoint. Still a bop 8 years later
so far ahead of their time it's unreal. I miss the old generation of kpop :(
I love all the JYP cameos in songs from his label XD
But your profile name is actually me and thats icon too! xD
Kpop is my life - Yaoi is my obsession what part? of the vid?
Hahah
How on earth did we not make this a hit when it was released cuz this is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It was a hit but only in some parts of the USA and I quess canada
If someone ever says that BTS and BP were the first kpop groups to collaborate with international artists, show 'em this, and 2NE1's collaboration with Will.i.am called Take The World.
Try 2010 collab jyj with kanye
Boa did the most international collabs back in 2003. She did one with Howie D and The Bratz called Show Me What You Got. And she did a live performance with Britney Spears.
Lol nobody says that actually, and as far as I know that GD or bigbang were the first Kpop acts to collaborate with western acts, but anyway maybe because it happens to be a really famous artists or a hit collabs but I've never seen anyone saying that I know that armies and blinks are kids but it's not like that
G dragon and missy Elliott did a song together too
Yup, just posted same myself.
Wonder girls will always be pioneers for kpop !!! Also did anyone else notice lim rapping with yubin 🎉
웬만한 팝송 저리가라네용 ㅠㅠㅠ진짜 원걸 진짜 색깔이 넘 잘표현된거같은데 안떠서 아쉬움 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 노래 넘조음흐헉흐헉 외국인랩 없었어도 짱멋존멋
If this was released today, it would've been a hit. Minus the auto tune.
They are Legends, i've known them since 2009
This was WAY ahead of their time! The world wasn't ready for this when it dropped.
Still Amused Akon Singing with Korean Groups lol. But at least it's Akon. He's cool
Chantra Srov better than Justin Bieber lmao
That would have been a disaster lol
Well, Akon sang two Bollywood songs in a language he doesn't even know, so...
Chandrakanta Singh dude I was just about to say that lmao
I remember Wanna be my chammak challOoOo😂
i don't hate bts but its THIS kpop that i get chills from. THIS is my time, and the end of an amazing era. :'( yes i don't hate bts or any newer rookie groups, and i'm sorry for bringing them up, but the kpop i sincerely love was this time and earlier. (2005-2012)
J2 Kay ..you sound bitter about bts 😚
I dont understand what bts has to do with this? Lmao NO ONE mentioned them, what are you so mad about
Bts isn't all the Kpop there is...
It's because music changed worldwide that the Kpop has also changed nowadays, for me this song is a basic 2010's song, nothing to do with Kpop here, it's just that they followed the international trend in music
@@tekakiuluy3221 literally like go to any POP song back in the day and it straight up sounds similar to this, its a good song but is also a product of its time
Bro you got them triggered
I'm here in 2024 suddenly remembered this bop and had to listen to it immediately. They were truly ahead of their time...
Legendary girl band. Pave the way for new generation of KPOP. NEVER FORGET
2016 and im still listening
yaass!!
+Tendai Manyumwa me too
👍
👍
Already listened to this for the second time.
OMG I didn't know they sung this song! This song was played SO much for years. This makes so much sense.
2021 AND THIS IS STILL A BOP. IT WOULD BE A HIT NOW I SWEAR. THEY WERE AHEAD OF THEIR TIME 😭😭😭💕💕💕💕💕
Определенно
Who else remembers when this came out, and is still listening in 2024?
Me ❤
Who's listening in year unknown
Me
Colleen Trimble me

it's 2016
Yubin literally put herself as one the untouchable female rappers in kpop history wth that BADDASS verse. 2020 and it's still a fire!
11 years later and I STILL love this song! I will never understand why it wasn’t more successful.
And as I commented this, I just watched an anime episode that depicts and fitted perfectly to the lyrics of this song. Its not just the song's composition, even its lyrics were ahead of time.
this song underated but this song the best collaborate ever!
I miss Wonder Girls 😻
from April 2022
Looks like Taylor swift took inspiration from here!
I think she did 😂
Come Back Home has many similarities
+NIERRA ROOFERS true
what song??
Bad blood
I think Wonder Girls is the 1st to featured English singer (Akon, School Gyrls...)
Wonder Girls still the best Korea group until today^^
Love Wonder Girls~~~
mmm not sure, it might've been boa? but that also could have just been a famous american dancer. idr.
boa and wg both got pretty famous in america around the same time.
I think it was gdragon with flo rida first
@@rachellerichey2632 what year? because i never heard of that.
It was JINUSEAN in the 90's, they were the first to collaborate with a western artist
I wish that twice would make remix of this song its would be more popular as they are under jyp so it is not impossible 😢
That is a GREAT IDEA!! It would be incredible!
TERRI JOE BRINGING THIS SONG BACK TO LIFE
Wish they had gotten really popular in America and JYP had continued to promote them, they could be so big here right now
why did they stop tho?
@@Vitoria-ji6tq after they failed debut in us they want do again
It didnt help that they had so many lineup changes
@@mayaG183 That part!
당시엔 사람들이 되게 별로라고 했었지만 ㅠ
난 당시에도 뭔가 retroSF느낌나는게 뭔가 90년대 에쎞영화 느낌나서 좋았었음...
말아먹은게 아쉬울뿐 ㅠ
I always feel sad looking at wonder girls. when they were at their peak in korea they left to promote in the US but wasn't successful, and their popularity wasn't the same in korea when they came back, that was a bad move from jyp it wasn't worth it.. he expected a lot and sacrificed their popularity in korea! at least he could've balanced it! to be honest I am afraid this will happen with bts,, especially that they don't go on tv or variety shows to maintain their popularity in korea..
dont worry love, bts dont need variety shows, variety shows need bts. Up until now they doing well without all those crap shows that treat artists badly
wonder girls flopped, bts didn't.
wg never had a peak in the us plus we live in a digital world, their country can't forget them 💀
It's a different time now, back then not everyone had CZcams to listen to their favs and watch them, now Koreans can still see BTS when they're at the mtv awards or others
Yea but we got an amazing Nickelodeon movie out of them!
Wonder girls had more problems than just failing in us, sadly.
Criminally underrated
I didn't know this was a kpop group
Your not alone many people had no clue when this hit first dropped in the States everyone thought Akon had a proper Entourage but we all know that's a joke =P
"a" kpop group? girl, THE kpop group!
PZYDOK lmao I KNOW WONDER GIRLS ARE QUEENS
jisoops The New kpop lovers
Miss Xairra
New fans don't know legends
This is a classic tbh
Ren Raven yeah
1:57 OOOOOOH SUNYE....how I miss her voice. It just blares so powerfully into my eardrums, she's literally the best main vocalist in K-pop even to this day for me. Love you babe.
Omg this song is bomb because Sunye literally slated the second part of the chorus...she literally sounds like a Native American and her voice was so powerful in this song. Catch me listening to this song like a million more times. Slay Wonder girls!!!
I'm still listening to this song in 2016
+Maimuna Akter Who is the far left member at 1:44??
😍Still loving this in Dec 2019😍 i miss them so much😭
Commented twice but idc , when I first this song I fell in love but didn’t know their name at the time so after years when I found it I was shook to know they were a Korean group.
These days people only know BTS and Blackpink. But Wonder Girls, SNSD, 2NE1, 4minute, Big Bang, Shihwa
I know all these groups, actually.
They also act like rapping is new. Old school could rap and had real vocalist. SiStar, Brown eyed girls, Kara! and just for bonus of talent *SOLJI* from EXID can sing her tail off
KARA is probably my favorite
ok kpoppie boomer
People prefer looks over talent nowadays
Way better than the english kpop songs of today
I remember the hope and excitement when this came out. I thought they would truly be the ones to break through to the US. They were one the key reasons I became a kpop fan. B2ST 2NE1 BoA SNSD Big Bang they dreamed the dream that made BTS Monsta X Blackpink the reality.
BTS made their names by themselves
stop discrediting them
@@aestaetic2 I'm not discrediting their hard work talent and drive but to not recognize their sunbaes and the groundwork they laid down to make it possible is disingenuous. You could ask any of the members and they would name check these artists the way others name check Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston.
@@aestaetic2 kpop has been a slow building wave in the US for over a decade. I'm sure there will be groups in the future that come out and top BTS's popularity and then groups that top those groups, its just how it is. I'm sure you would be upset if those future groups said they made a name for themselves in the US by themselves and discredited BTS's efforts in pushing the popularity of the genre
@@aestaetic2 lol yes they did it but you have to remember everyone got inspiration
I was OBSESSED with the Wonder Girls back in the day. Amazing artists!
Fr they are
Wonder girls walked so your favs could run. 2nd generation really paved the way.
This is one of the best ever all English releases in terms of the lyrics not sounding overly dorky. JYPE seems to have this down.
Still listening in 2018 - this song is seriously underrated
ughh still hitss
Esta canción no pasa de moda me encanta!
I really miss second gen kpop idols/groups, back when it's just all about enjoying their music, anticipating for their comebacks and new songs, not about who's the most viewed on youtube
i miss them
Wonder Girls'career in America always reminds me of Jackie Chan when he talked about suceeding in America. In an interview, he said that you shouldn't force yourself to enter a big market that isn't ready for you, such as America. Instead, you should suceed in your own and wait for America to call you. Anyway, I still like Wonder Girls' english music and it was still a valuable experience to them :)
How did this not become popular back then😢
This was the first Korean/American Artist to collaborate, way way before BTS , BLACKPINT..Comeback girls
You new? They were not the first
@@ladyluck2534 yes, they are not the first , GD collaborate ft Florida at 2009
@@cherryvip9079 no that collab was forced coz they plagiarized flo-rida's song right around and fans noticed it. In order not to get sued they "collabed" with flo-rida. Kindly read all the articles about it. It was quite a controversy back then 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
And no its not the first collab. As far as i remem as a 16 yrs kpop listener, the first was either jyj with kanye or wg
--------------
This is not the first time that G-Dragon has been accused of plagiarism. In 2009, there were claims that G-Dragon's song "Heartbreaker," was plagiarized from Flo Rida's "Right Round." EMI who has the rights to the song "Right Round," announced that they saw no similarities between the two songs. However, Sony Korea prevented G-Dragon from further promoting the song without paying reparations. They also sent a letter of warning about plagiarism, although not a legal action.

---------------------
Warner Korea, which is the publishing company to ‘Right Round’ in Korea, came out to say on 18th August, “The song ‘Heartbreaker’ which was revealed in full today has been confirmed to have plagiarised ‘Right Round’ by the composer. And the composer of ‘Right Round’ in America is in the dilemma of what to do and how to deal this case.”
the first was se7en with lil kim in fev 2009
No I believe it's BoA or se7en
i didn't like this song when it came out, but now i do! it is a nice song to play in the background
Same thing happened to me....(^.^)
Yonii G yeah me too LOL
Me to.
bingin15 how can you like this song, its so stupid. "Love me like money, love me like cars"??? really? The song flopped so JYP didn't know how to save face. Its also one of the reasons Wonder Girls broke up besides the other member getting married.
Mockavel Velli well to each their own. to me, it's like that person wants to be loved extravagantly.
i think this was the first kpop mv i ever saw holy f0k...

WG , 2ne1 , SNSD , 4Minute , T-ara GOLDEN DAYSSS OF KPOP
Look at this video ITS AWSOMEES
you alive? :)
This is the worst move of JYP.
Wonder Girls could have been the best Korean girlgroup of all time along with SNSD.
Now we'll never know.
I think now it's still Wonder Girls for me. Without them, kpop won't know worldwide. They are legend.
Monica Tricia I know. It's just they could have been more sucessful if JYP didn't decide to make WG invade to the US-UK industry.
vy tranthuynha That was the best JYP's move.
That allowed them to become artists. Experience and learn other things, meet new people, falling in love, have small achievements and evolve. today our girls are one level higher.
It's a shame that some people not see it that way and only care about that they weren't more successful in korea.
Monica Tricia dunno about that. i think kpop would have grown just a little bit later.
Chiaze20 Well, but that also allow them to lose Sunye, leads to Sohee's department too (although I'm happy that Sunye got married, I can not help but thinking that thanks to this she left WG).
