    “JYP, what are you doing RIGHT? Korean girl group Wonder Girls has already won Asia over with their hit song, “Nobody.” Wonder Girls began with a string of small performances in California and New York. Pretty soon, famous faces such as Perez Hilton started to take notice of the girls and next thing you know, they’re opening up for the Jonas Brothers! Wonder Girls fever hit teenyboppers across the nation and soon enough, “Nobody” entered the Billboard Hot 100, making the Wonder Girls the first Korean artist to enter the list. In addition, Wonder Girls finished the year off with the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2010, the group will release their first english-language album. Who knows what’s next in store for them?” –Kanara Ty
