On the morning of October 22nd, the Wonder Girls were officially back in Korea. Being back in the motherland, The Wonder Girls will greet and meet fans and press alike for the first time in over 7 months.
A JYP Entertainment representative stated, “This Friday we will hold a press conference with The Wonder Girls about their experiences in America, making it on the Billboard Chart, and what’s in store for the future.”
Speaking of which, the Wonder Girls entered the Billboard Top 100 for the very first time. Their single Nobody is ranked 76th on the Billboard Top 100. With this accomplishment, I believe they have become the very first Korean artist(s) from the motherland to have done so. I say from the motherland, because Korean-American and half-Korean artists such as Joe Hahn of Linkin Park, Amerie, and others have achieved this feat in the past.
alikstae:
As anyone would know, you’ve hit the US market when you rank on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart. Although they ranked at 74, the very fact they are on this chart is a huge deal. This is a wonderful feat!
Not only did they rank on this chart, but also the Heatseekers chart at number 4. Interestingly enough, you’re not supposed to be on the Heatseekers chart if you’re already on the Billboard Hot 100, so this will be the only time you see them here. (If you’re on the Hot 100 chart, you’re apparently too big to be on the Heatseekers chart!)
Congratulations to Wonder Girls!
Congratulations to The Wonder Girls and I wish them much continued success, it’s also good to see them back home in Korea as well. Thanks to stephen, and jonathan for the tips. Remember to visit the WG Spectacle Forum.

OMG CONGRATS TO THEM! i knew they could do it :)
woah..i was shocked..i saw my hero carrie underwood on a korean news blog..haha,..go wonder girls
@ DBSKx
lols at your answer.
Congrats girls! All that hard work is slowly benefiting back!
@121 No not really .
Not saying it’s not it’s not an achievement, but I don’t know how being in # 76 is something to be THAT super ecstatic about. =.= I often don’t even know any of the songs below 30. Most of my friends has not even heard of WG yet. I can tell you right now most people still don’t know who WG are over here.
Also… sadly, even if they do gain more popularity….. their entire fan base is gonna be screeching teenyboppers. It makes money.. tons of money (If Miley Cyrus is any indication), but any creditability as an artist? None whatsoever. Will it also be a long lasting popularity? No. Because that kind of fan base’s attention also changes very quickly. Today it may be something tomorrow something else.
It’s an excellent Korean start to make it in Korea. Although there are other artists that has debuted in America, but I truly think Wonder Girls have gone very far! Their English is not fluent but who could get over a song like Nobody?
they only got # 76 in rank. Its ok to be happy about it but to have press conference and to say as if they actually made it in the US is ridiculous.
SWEET.
Dang, even Boa didn’t get this. The girls are amazing and definitely taking America a couple steps at a time rather than just one :)
WOW! im so happy!! cant wait for their live performance…Congratulations wondergirls for what you have achieved! and i wish for the continuation of the success youve attained:D I hope they do have collaboration with other artist! cant wait for another songs from them!:D

It’s a start and we’ll see where it goes from here. Although it does amaze me that some people here are seriously taking the time to write so much and having a whole discussion about this. Just chill, not all fans are expecting a whole miracle to happen. Just happy that they’ve come this far.
WHOOT HOOT ! =)
CONGRATS WG!! <33
you girls are always so awesome! (:
congrats to them!!
Kim Bum Soo was on the Billboard Chart. No offence, but at least get your facts right especially when you’re trying to emphasise the point.
WOOOH ~ Congrats Girls !!! ( :
102 – WG are my favorite girl group.
But you’re going to have to tell me what performers like Wonder Girls are. Whoever said they weren’t unique is very much right, actually. Everything WG are doing has been done before. Their entire look right now is retro, you know, that entire decade we call the 60s.
WAAA Im so shocked!!!!!!!!!!!! they actually are selling !! WOW this is good I mean its not amazing but they made top 100 !!!!!!! Hope for top 40 soon XD Radio’s please play them request fans!
I love that the girls are finally getting somewhere in my home country. T^T It’s so touching!

Hope their new album won’t just contain english version of their Korean songs. It would be nice if they give something new. Congratulations still.
