Talk:Wonder Girls

Anyone here interesed in making an article on "2 Different Tears" ?

I haven't seen anyone add in anything yet.. Can someone please help update and expand Wonder Girls' article here on Wikipedia? It would be greatly appreaciated. Thank you =)Blueknightex (talk) 10:53, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Tell Me

Someone should really write an article on the song, particularly due to the dance phenomenon. --Dhartung | Talk 09:05, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

How about how this song spread like wildfire throughout celebrities. Within months of being released, Yurisangja went on Yoon Hyun Do's Love Letter and performed this song (along with Lies by Big Bang and Love Sick by FT Island in an acoustic remix). Will post the video link to back this later Xatticus 09:00, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Inconsistent spelling of members' name

1. When Wonder Girls were promoting "Irony", JYPE used 'Sun Ye', 'Ye Eun', 'Hyun A', 'So Hee', 'Sun Mi'.
2. But when "Tell Me", They used 'Sunye', 'Yeeun', 'Yubin', 'Sohee', 'Sunmi'.
3. Again, when "So Hot", They used 'Sunye', 'Yea-un', 'Yubin', 'Sohee', 'Sunmi'.
4. If using Revised Romanization of Korean, They are 'Seonye', 'Ye-eun', 'Yubin', 'Sohui', 'Seonmi'.

Which one should we use? I prefer not to use no.1 because these names are not the 'first name' and 'last name'. --KSiOM(Talk) 10:44, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

In a new album, The Wonder Years - Trilogy, spelling is mixed.

• Sunye, she is the leader of the Wonder Girls
• Ye-eun, Yea-un
• So-hee, Sohee
• Yu-bin, Yubin
• Sun-mi, Sunmi --KSiOM(Talk) 13:59, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

• Under Wikipedia guidelines, we're supposed to use surnames (Min, Ahn, Kim...I don't know Ye-eun's or Sunmi's). But when the full name has to be used, it's either revised romanization or whatever the popular way is. Like, if they consistently used "So Hee" and "Sun Ye", then we should go with that. But since it seems to change fairly frequently...don't know. :P SKS2K6 (talk) 16:16, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Since they use their first names as stage names, I think we should use stage names rather than surnames. (Of course, we did't reach a consensus on which stage name we use) To add to this, Sunmi's surname is Sun, first name is Mi, but she use 'Sunmi' as her stage name. --KSiOM(Talk) 05:43, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Blood type

An edit was reverted with the comment i'm sorry, but much of this is trivial (blood type/height)..... I'm not opposed to the reversion of that edit, because a lot of it was trivial, but vital stats like height and blood type aren't out of line. Blood type would be weird in many articles, but because there is a belief in many Asian cultures that personality depends on blood type, see Blood types in Japanese culture, that's not out of line here. No, I don't buy it, it's on par with beliefs in astrology, but many do, and you'll find many sites that discuss Asian stars including the blood type. TJRC (talk) 19:25, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but not in Wikipedia. Height can change (to a degree, but I mean this in terms of shoes :P). Weight can change. Beliefs can change. Nicknames can change. And none of the information is sourced. I really feel that for English Wikipedia, this sort of information adds no value to the article. Besides, it's just a list of miscellaneous facts, which should be avoided. Very few people will understand the value of blood type when coming across this article. If there's a source tying the blood type to the personalities of all these girls, then by all means, include it. But simply adding these minute details to the page just because it's done elsewhere isn't enough of a reason to keep it in. It belongs on Wonder Girls/K-pop fansites, for sure. But not on a Wikipedia entry. SKS2K6 (talk) 15:05, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I just came across this, and found it odd that blood type was listed. just fyi — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.228.56.14 (talk) 04:38, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Yoo/Yu for member 유빈?

The article have 2 spelling of member 유빈 in the roma letter. I guess we must to spell one way only. Is it Yubin or Yoobin?

Nxo (talk) 12:32, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

As mentioned above, there's no official spelling of members' name. In case of Yubin, however, using 'Yubin' is more reasonable. 'Yubin' is consistently used on album cover (except for 'Yu-bin' on The Wonder Years - Trilogy) or official website. --KSiOM(Talk) 19:30, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay. I make every Yoobin into Yubin. Nxo (talk) 16:01, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

regarding to their english name and bio

Could you please change their English name to

Sun, Yenny, Mimi, Sohee and Yubin

They are starting their new career in the US so I would like people to see their English name, too.

Also I would like to change their introduction which is on their official US website, wondergirlsworld.com

As the leading creator of Asia's biggest superstars, JYP Entertainment brings you their next biggest phenomenon, Wonder Girls. The Wonder Girls, five teenage sensations hailing from the East as music royalty, were brought together by J.Y. Park after his tremendous success with the superstar Rain.

The Wonder Girls have earned three number 1 hit songs in Asia within the last two years, each having won an unprecedented amount of awards and digital downloads. This summer JYP Entertainment presents the Wonder Girls’ highly anticipated US debut, with their first US single, "Nobody."

The US audience got a sneak preview of Wonder Girls in 2008 when the entertainment blogger Perez Hilton featured not one, but two of their hit music videos on his blog site. Since then, Wonder Girls have been named by People Magazine as one of the "leading Asian pop stars to cross over to the states.” They were also featured on Virgin Media as one of the “Top 8 Girls Groups to Watch in the World,” among such groups as Pussycat Dolls, Girls Aloud and Danity Kane.

In March 2009, Wonder Girls began their first ever World Tour, which incorporated 3 US cities, including New York, Chicago,and Los Angeles. The Wonder Girls will continue to rock the US this summer, with thirteen performances from coast to coast on the Jonas Brothers World Tour. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Janeyjk (talk • contribs) 15:16, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

In terms of names, I suppose that's doable, but in terms of intro, that's a clear WP:COPYVIO which is not allowed on Wikipedia. SKS (talk) 17:16, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Edit Request

{{editsemiprotected}}

1) please look into the profile of YUBIN, "Has voice problems so she can't sing properly."

this isnt correct isit? there isnt anything wrong with her voice. and this claim has not been backed up with any source?

2) please look into profile of sunmi, "She is so skinny that people, including fans, are wondering if she's anorexic."

this is a baseless claim, please delete this. thanks!

3) sohee, "she is mentally retarded" this is a clear case of deflamation. pls delete this sentence immediately—Preceding unsigned comment added by Kyiwei (talk • contribs) 15:12, 23 August 2009

Already done Welcome and thanks for pointing out this vandalism. Another editor had already removed those childish edits, perhaps also alerted by your prompt comments here. I left a warning on the vandal's page. He had already been (informally) warned about an edit not backed by sources, so the next time he does this he should be blockable. Thanks again for catching this so quickly, Celestra (talk) 15:55, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

{{editsemiprotected}}

The second sentence of the article seems to contain some vandalism. the word "cum" has been added in the place of what i assume should be the word "and". Either that or the latin word "cum" is being used, which seems pointless.

Their producer cum manager is singer-songwriter Park Jin-Young and the Wonder Girls are signed to his talent agency, JYP Entertainment.

 Done Have changed to "producer and manager". It seems to have been a valid use of the Latin word, rather than vandalism, but using the word 'and' is perhaps clearer. AJCham 12:18, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

{{editsemiprotected}} In the box at the top of the page, where it lists all the members, it says that Sunmi is a former member...it is false information because she has not yet left the group, and Lim has not become an official member yet. Someone please change this...at least for the time being.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Neha200 (talk • contribs)

Do you have any sources for this by any chance? Jeffrey Mall (talk • contribs) - 01:52, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

It's quite the opposite. The page has come to much dispute due to this event- News link. She hasn't left the group as yet, however she has officially quit. Fans have been editing the infobox as regards to their opinion whether 'Sunmi' has left or not. + ThermoNuclear ☢ 12:39, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Deleting members' bio

If no one rejects, I am going to because there are no refs in it, and it's unnecessary anyway.Cherrieslovable (talk) 23:58, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

^Actually, I was looking for members' bio but couldn't find it anywhere. Even though the bios don't have refs, a lot of other bios/profiles doesn't have refs and it's okay. Most people who access the WG page came here for their profile so I think it's important that we leave in the information about their name, date of birth, and a mini-bio. Sumdingwrungwitme (talk) 17:57, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

I was doing a little research and found bios on the members. Problem is I haven't seen any references for the content.

at least Hyuna has a page.

FYI: click on don't re-direct, and you can see the diffs form the history.

• Sunye [1]
• Ahn Sohee [2]
• Ye-eun [3]
• Yubin [4]
• Lim [5]
• Sunmi [6]

On a side note, I have found references/links on the girls in the Korean wiki site Korean Site

• 선예(SunYe)
• 소희(Ahn Sohee)

Wonder Girls Special Edition Album

I know they released a compilation album of all songs between The Wonder Begins to Trilogy in Honk Kong, China and Taiwan but this album has no article. I was wondering since it uses the same cover as the Trilogy EP if it should be integrated into that article or if it should be it's own article. I'm not sure if it's noteworthy but I believe the track list should be included somewhere. 66.68.15.142 (talk) 19:06, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Why little mention of the May 2010 scandal?

In May 2010 some shocking revelations were made about the lives of the girls in New York City.

Wikipedia is NOT a fan site but an OBJECTIVE source of information. The Korea Herald brough FACTS to light and I think they should be included here. This article does not look objective at all - it looks like a promo tool.

Here are the facts that I believe should, at the very least, be reported:

1) Two wealthy companies, JYPE and Jonas Group, were not providing health insurance to the Wonder Girls. First the president of JYPE denied that (in a Korea Times story) but then he did a 180 (two days later) and admitted the girls had no insurance. First he said, "It's ridiculous to think they don't have insurance!" but two days later he said, basically, "Yeah, they have no insurance but we are not obligated to give them any." This was in the Herald.

2) JYPE and the Jonas Group were and, based on the NYC Dept. of Buildings web site, still are housing these girls in an "illegal" building. The web site states that staff will no longer allow inspectors into the building. In New York everyone knows that if you don't open your doors the inspectors can't do anything (judges rarely provide subpoenas for buildings inspectors to enter). The city of NY documents that the staff will not open their doors.

3) The president of the company uses the term "illegal" when he discusses how the Wonder Girls were brought into the USA. They should have come in on O-1 visas but were brought in on F-1 visas.

4) Although their CD made the Hot 100, it was being sold for $1 (probably a financial loss) in order to gain a place on the charts. This was admitted by a JYPE staff member in a herald article. This was like the company buying CDs itself to get on the charts. This is NEWS. It is VERIFIABLE NEWS. JYPE might not like it, but they DID it and it is NEWS.

I remember that for three complete days this was HOT news in Korea. I think it should be out here because it is 100% verifiable.

There were other details but they were not 100% verified. Apparently Sun ye denied that she performed in China for Sony Ericcson Execs shortly after her father went into a terminal coma. She said the father had recovered. Yet, JYPE reported the father's death a short time later, so who was telling the truth? So I don't think this should be reported in the Wikipedia article.

Removal of information that presents this company in a bad light

I have noticed that every time information is posted to this site - verified and objective information - it gets removed immediately.

I have really tried to find some way to contact official wikipedia editors about this matter, but wikipedia does not make it easy to report such abuses.

Therefore, if TRUE and OBJECTIVE material about this company can be removed (by JYPE employees? rabid fans?) if some people feel it presents this company in a bad light, I feel that all information on this site can be removed.

I am just applying the logic that is being used to turn wikipedia away from being an OBJECTIVE source of information to a promotional tool by a company that does not seem to want any potentially adverse information about it to be on wikipedia.

It is unfortunate that this company might have done things that it might be ashamed of. If it is NEWS and if it is HISTORY it should be on here.

If that information is concealed, then all information should be concealed. period.

You need to pay attention to the reasons given for its removal. For example, you've repeatedly added a claim that a song "broke the top 100 primarily because the CD containing the song was being sold at a "bargain basement" price of $1 at teen clothing stores." The source you cite does not present that claim as factual, or even make that claim itself. It presents that claim as one of a number made by a disgruntled associate of the group, doesn't provide any confirmation of the claim, and extracts from the group's management only a bland acknowledgment that promotional deals boost sales. Big freaking whoop. Promotional deals happen all the time in the music business, and if they didn't boost sales and public recognition they wouldn't get made. There's nothing immoral, illegal, or fattening (except for some folks' wallets) about them. They shouldn't be presented as though they're scandals, and unless they're as high profile as Amazon's stunt with Lady Gaga, they certainly don't belong in an article lede. Some of the rest of the stuff might be worth a brief mention, but it certainly doesn't deserve the prominence and descriptions you gave it. They don't have health insurance? BFD. Neither do all sorts of American musicians. Their managers screwed around with visa regs? There's a shocker for you. It's not like a day can go by without some news organization reporting shenanigans like that. Last Sunday's NYTimes had a huge piece about a full-throttle charter school network which allegedly faked hundreds if not thousands of visa claims. Their NYC office has some kind of building code problems? Nobody cares. Not enough the NYC building code enforcers, 99% of the time. I don't know why you're so obsessed with this trivial stuff, but it doesn't belong in an encyclopedia without sources that 1) solidly confirm it to be factual and 2) meet Wikipedia's requirements for encyclopedic significance. Just because somebody make tabloidy charges doesn't mean you can stick them in Wikipedia.

And if you pull a stunt like blanking most of the article to complain about other editors again, you'll lose your editing privileges for a while. Maybe a long while. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 03:44, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello. A JYPE EMPLOYEE confirms that the cd was sold for $1. Why do you come out here and delete information which is TRUE? David Hyun, ex-manager for the Wonder Girls, confirmed that the CD was being sold for a bargain basement price of $1. He WORKS for the company. This was NEWS. People in Korea read this and commented on it on naver.com extensively.

You are so biased FOR this group it is not even funny.

Furthermore, this story was front page news in Korea for 3 DAYS. This story was HUGE. It should be mentioned. Why don't you want it to be mentioned? You should be banned from editiing because you are DELIBERATELY withholding true information for some veiled reason.

Fuirthermore, this is not "tabloidy" information. The Korea Herald is one of Korea's BEST and most reputable newspapers. Everything else on this wikipedia page is TABLOIDY except what I added. Why do you want to keep the TRUTH which was documented by a REPUTABLE paper away from the public? In all candor, you have an agenda out here. I just want to see that wikipedia serves the purpose it was meant to serve.

— Preceding unsigned comment added by Frazerrazor (talk • contribs) 04:11, 10 June 2011 (UTC) 

Frazer is correct that the sales were definitely boosted that way and it is common ground that that is a key reason for the chart success. In the UK there is (was?) a minimum price for at least some of the charts, to prevent this particular method of gaming the system. I am not aware of the technicalities of the Billboard charts, nor do I have a firm opinion on the ethics of this approach, however it seems to me that firstly the marketing method is significant, and secondly that at least some people would question its ethicity. The real questions, which I am not in position to answer, are:

1. is a separate Korean pop music scandals page justified either
   1. as a general summary article with short sections on significant events
   2. or focussed on 2010-2011+, if this is a clear media phenomenon (as dog attacks became in Britain for about a decade)
   3. as a pure list with a summary lead.
2. To what extent the story needs to be covered. Again reading the articles in the Herald there seems little dispute about facts, so it's not a hard matter to cover neutrally.

There is ONE person who seems to come out here and delete material that, although TRUE amd DOCUMENTED, might be deemed adverse to the entertainment company JYPE.

This person is NOT treating wikipedia as a source of information, but as a promotional tool for a pop group.

"Disagreeing" doesn't seem to be the issue here. The issue would seem to be that these entertainment companies who have stuff to hide come out here and delete information.

Why is well-sourced information deleted without reason?

Three times now within the past week an IP address and an individual named Hullabaloo Wolfowitz have tried to remove well-sourced information that is of historical value. This information is documented through the Korea Herald Newspaper. This information has been up and unchallenged for weeks. Obviously there are ulterior motives to remove this documented information. Why do wikipedia administrators allow this type of nonsense? This adds to the perception that wikipedia is not an objective source of information. There are people who want to add their personal views to these pages - there is so much undocumented information on this page, I have to wonder why certain people go after "documented" information.

If you look at the history of edits, for some reason a person calling himself Hullabaloo Wolfowitz has wanted to remove well-sourced and pertinent information. It is, however, factual information. He is apparently interested in imposing his own will and prejudices onto this page. He is an expert on how to use this system and wikipedia continually allows him to bully people out here. His latest attempt to remove well-sourced material that has existed out here for a long time constitutes vandalism. You can see that he is also probably guilty of "sockpuppetry" in that on two previous occassions different IP addresses were used to vandalize the same information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chelseaarthur (talk • contribs) 21:23, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

This whole article is filled with unsourced information that is "not news." Why is H.W. attacking the one piece of information out here which is clearly "news."

Question about Be My Baby

Would it be ok to add a "fan reaction" section? Quite a few fans were upset with "Be My Baby"'s release - especially after JYP made several statements that "BMB" would be different from the "Nobody" era sound (when it wasn't), and would have preferred "Me, In" as the first single.

I'm not a regular editor on this page, but if the fan reaction to "Be My Baby" was worth noting, it would be most appropriate to place it on the "Be My Baby" page, not this page. That being said, the fan reaction probably isn't noteworthy, and if it was, there would have to be some credible sources to cite. Thanks for asking here before editing the page!

From the source:"According to a JYP Entertainment representative, “The Wonder Girls had signed with one of Hollywood’s top talent agencies, CAA in October 2008" but the thing is "They also inked a contract with Jonas Brothers company, Jonas Group to join them on their concert tour." so I think that they were only signed with Jonas Group so that they can tour with them. Their actual agency in America is actually CAA(Creative Artists Agency) but they are not a record label. I also found out that Jonas Records' status is unknown so its more than likely that WG are no longer signed with them. Masterpeace3 (talk) 00:01, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Discussing each members by vocals, harmonization?

There is a lot of confusion regarding their vocals, leading, bridging, among other vocal characteristics, should we discuss it and incorporate into the article? --Eduemoni^↑talk↓ 21:54, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

I don't know if that's a good idea or not because we need provide reliable sources from critics or professional people that talks about this.Masterpeace3 (talk) 21:05, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

Agree with Masterpeace3. Their vocals are subjective, that's why we have fans constantly changing positions. None of them can agree, because none of them are official. Their company may obviously give preference to the better singers, but they don't define "you're only the sub-vocalist, you get X many lines" as their stance. Fans can analyze it however they want, but it would just be original research. This is a pop group - they all sing and dance, some may rap or not. Let's not give the fans a platform to argue here and just leave it to what can be cited. Evaders99 (talk) 01:26, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Edit request on 26 January 2013

Please change the member timeline for Yubin from 2010-2013 present to September 2007-2013 present as she debuted in September of 2007 when Hyuna left. Also, Lim's should be 2010-2013 present as well. 60.226.28.65 (talk) 16:37, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

 Done I did it before I even read this! I don't know how it got so messed up to begin with. ErinMHz 18:23, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Changing the timeline to be more objective.

Ive noticed that in the timeline in the section members, there is a lack of apretiation of some of the members duration in the group. I only bring this up because it shows from 2007 to 2010 as most of the timeline itself and only a little part of it for 2010 to present. This leads to think that the member sunmi has been for most of the time with the group while the member woo hyerim has joined only recently, when actually to this date the member hyerim has been the same amount of time at least than the former member sunmi.Beleg00shyama (talk) 00:58, 22 June 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, what? A "lack of appreciation"? The timeline looks perfectly fine to me... 70.66.253.198 (talk) 04:20, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Edit Request

Sohee has left the Wonder Girls - she announced it earlier today. Sunye, YeEun and Yubin have all renewed their contracts, but Lim hasn't announced anything yet.

"Sohee has decided to pursue a different path, separate from Wonder Girls. It has been stated that she wants to pursue a carrier in acting and it is unclear yet if she will stay under her current label or leave for another agency." http://annyeongeurope.com/jyp-reveal-contract-statuses-for-wonder-girls-and-miss-a-members/ http://koreanupdates.com/2013/12/11/jyp-reveals-wonder-girls-sohee-isnt-renewing-her-contract/ http://ph.omg.yahoo.com/news/will-wonder-girls-sohee-leave-jyp-entertainment-065508238.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.66.253.198 (talk) 19:27, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

I agree with the above request. The Wonder Girls renewed their contracts, but Sohee did not. She's leaving JYP. Hyelim's contract status is unknown for now...

Semi-protected edit request on 21 December 2013

On December 21 2013, Ahn Sohee's contract with JYP Entertainment as a member of Wonder Girls expired and she had left the group as she had decided not to renew her contract with JYP Entertainment as a member of Wonder Girls anymore. She had previously revealed that she would want to pursue on an acting career and would focus in that direction. As of now, both Sohee and JYP Entertainment have yet to revealed if Sohee would remain in JYP Entertainment as an actress or would leave for another agency.

Edit Request

I found this noteworthy and thought I might ask for it to be incorporated.

JYP snuck the Wonder Girls into the US on student visas (which he acknowledged was illegal). They also did not have health insurance, and their English tutor quit because he was being mistreated by the company.

Member Role?

I have seen someone changed all members role especially Hyerim that she's playing acoustic guitar. Is acoustic guitar an unplugged instrument, isn't it? But I think I clearly remember that both Reboot album and Why so Lonely album...they all play electric instruments.

I'm not sure this source is reliable or not. But I don't see anything wrong about their role in the group. Would you guys give it a try? http://www.nowkpop.com/2015/08/03/wondergirls-profile/

I changed Hyerim to guitar since that is more unspecific. NowKpop is not a reliable source. Random86 (talk) 17:59, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
