Wonder Girls kept their promise to come back to korea bearing good news to make all their fans and their country proud! and they did exactly what they promised! On October 23, 2009 at 2PM, Wonder Girls held a press conference a day after they land from the US for a couple of days visit to their mother land. “The Nation’s little sisters” comes back with a milestone to share with their families, friends and fans. As Korea’s first artists to enter Billboard top 100, only three other artists from Asia as a whole have ever made it onto the chart.

an excerpt from the article written by Allkpop…

Each of the girls started the conference with a little message and talked about their time in America. The mood was somewhat sombre when Mimi teared while speaking.

Yenny:
“I’m so happy to be back after so long, and I’m actually kind of nervous because there are so many camera flashes.”

Sun:
“It’s so nice to be back in Korea after so long.”

Yubin:
“It’s nice to be back and talk to everyone again.”

Sohee and Mimi while smiling:

“Being back after so long with so many people here, it’s making us a little nervous.”

Mimi:

“When I first went to America, I cried every single day. I think it was because I’m so young and I was also lonely. It took some time to get used to it, it was also difficult meeting people because I couldn’t speak English. However, because I had the other members, they gave me the strength and courage. Also, as America accepted our song little by little, that also gave me strength.”

Yenny:
“I was so thrilled that people at the Jonas Brothers concerts knew our music.”

Wonder Girls:
“In America right now, Yenny is definitely the most popular.”

JYP:
“I feel so proud of the Wonder Girls. For the past 7 months they suffered and went through a lot of rough times, but they worked so hard. They are truly amazing. They may not be the prettiest, the best singers, or the best dancers in the world, but I know for a fact that they are the hardest working and kindest singers in the world.”

Sun:
“Although JYP says we suffered a lot, we also felt and experienced a lot of new things. JYP also gave us a lot of nice things to help us through the rough times.”

JYP then shocked everyone by stating:
“Right now there are no retro artists in the states. The Wonder Girls will have another upgraded concept in America, but it will be similar. At the moment we have no plans for any activities in Korea. They are doing well in America. We didn’t go there just to gain more fame in Korea, we went to America because we wanted to succeed in the US market. Moving forward, our plans are to continue in the US and European markets. A lot of people are doubting us, but I want to break that mindset. It is now the beginning and we will give it our all. Even if we fail, we will fail with pride.”

Starting in November, the Wonder Girls will be featured in many American newspapers, magazines and will also attend TV programs. In addition, next year they will release a full album in the states. The girls will also be making a foray into the Chinese market before the end of the year with the release of a mandarin version of Nobody.
