Billboard Gets It All Wrong about the Wonder Girls

It was reported today that there was some misinformation published about the Wonder Girls on the American Billboard website. In the Artiste Biography section which introduces the Wonder Girls which was written by Chris True, only 3 instead of 5 names were listed as being the members of the group. It was mighty puzzling also to see Kim Hyun A being listed as an existing Wonder Girl member even though she had already left and is now part of a new girl group, 4minute back in Korea. The lack of correct information might cause some confusion for new fans of the Wonder Girls, particularly as Billboard is considered to be a definitive music source. They probably should have checked on Wikipedia for the information.

Billboard Gets It All Wrong about the Wonder Girls

JYP Entertainment has already learnt about this and will be meeting the relevant people to sort this out. I wonder if it's because of the name changes for the other 3 members. In preparation for their American debut, only Yoo Bin and So Hee kept their original names while Sun Ye became Sun, Ye Eun became Yenny while Sun Mi became Mimi.

The Wonder Girls will be opening for the Jonas Brothers World Tour on 27th June and their digital single of Nobody in english will also be out.

I don’t understand how sutff like this happens.
All he had to do was go onto wikipedia and it would’ve had all the correct information about the Wonder Girls.
pretty lazy if you ask me.
Well at least they didn’t say they were the daughters or nieces of Kim Jong il like they did with yehsung that would’ve been a lot worse lol

Billboard needs to keep up with their Asian artists.

 
fobbiekid's avatar

This is pretty ridiculous…it’s not like this was the first time, it happens every time with asian celebrities…they post up incorrect info…seriously this gotta stop. I really hope they could respect the asians a little more by doing more careful research about this.

 
Loofie's avatar

well, at least they listed Yoobin? [attempting to be optimistic]

 
LEV's avatar

Damn retards. Can they get the information straight? Jeez, do a little background research d***wad. T_T

Stupid idiots are always screwing up information regarding Asian artists. Show a little respect.

Ha! I wonder what sources they use… how possibly can they get it wrong? I mean the # of members….

 
indogurl01's avatar

well being a “proffesional” he really shouldn’t make mistakes like this, but their a new and foreign group so making a big deal is pretty useless,..mistakes like this on foreign
groups i guess are expected…

 
arangeles's avatar

billboard= epic fail. It’s not that difficult to go on the web and search for the official website is it? They better fix that.

 
JennyLump's avatar

How hard is it to go on wiki or.. oh idk, THEIR SITE. XD

jeongho's avatar

Well that’s a rather impulsive article. And here I thought gathering information was the first thing a journalist does.

 
cassiopeia_05's avatar

Oh wow. If I was a new fan, I would be confused too.
Oh also… Wonder girls are only with the Jonas Brothers for only one day?
