Remember once upon a time when the Wonder Girls were cosmetic models for Peripera? The group has now left that all behind and will be launching their own Wonder Girls brand cosmetics instead!

It was announced that the Wonder Girls’ cosmetics will be launched on the 24th. The launch would have been earlier but had to be delayed after Sunmi’s withdrawal. As a result, the print ads and everything had to be redone all over again, with the inclusion of new member, Hye Lim and was finally completed on the 18th.

To celebrate the launch of the cosmetics, it was revealed by a representative that part of the sales profit would be donated to charity organizations like UNICEF, to promote and create a culture for social contributions.

Beside domestic markets, there are also plans to launch it in China this coming May as well as Southeast Asia, Japan and America in the coming months.

Don’t be surprised if you find Sunmi below, it was released by mistake. You can see that Hye Lim has just taken over, wearing the same yellow outfit.
