No Wonder Girls nor Big Bang in 2009…

Big Bang

We all know about JYP's mission to make the Wonder Girls American debut a blinding success and they are now the opening acts for all but 2 of Jonas Brothers concert tour stops until the end of 2009. That effectively means no Korean albums in 2009 for Korean Wonderfuls. The same goes for Big Bang's VIPs when it was announced recently that there were no plans for a 2009 Korean album as well.

YG Entertainment's CEO, Yang Hyun Suk revealed recently that Big Bang's leader and fashionista, G-Dragon will be releasing his 1st mini-album on 18th August, coincidentally his 21st birthday. This will be followed by Tae Yang whose 2nd mini-album will be out around September - October. Daesung will also be releasing his own mini-album at the end of the year, and it was stressed that it will not be another trot album. The other 2, T.O.P and Seung Ri will be busy with their respective filming commitments.

Big Bang are currently still united though but not in Korea, promoting in Japan which started in June and will end in July. Thereafter, the individual Big Bang members will disperse to pursue their own projects. Yang Hyun Suk said, "Many are hoping to see another Big Bang album this year. But because of their Japan promotions and subsequent solo projects thereafter, it's not possible for them to do so. We hope that the fans will understand and continue to show their support for their solo projects."

No Wonder Girls nor Big Bang in 2009. The same goes for MC Mong (maybe), Lee Hyori (maybe) and others which I can't remember. The K-pop scene of 2009 looks so lonely without them. With less than 1/2 of 2009 to go, hopefully someone steps up to the plate.

Wonder Girls, MC Mong, Big Bang, Lee Hyori

i’m going to miss them… but the solos projects will be amazing i think :D
and 2ne1 is there :3 <333

but this was already obvious… for both groups.
half year have already passed and as we all knew about the solo albums… it was kinda obvious.
and JYP had already said that after america the wg are going to china. no?

 
dreamerism's avatar

Aww… :( They could have arranged to have maybe a mini-mini album somewhere in between all those busy schedules… ; -; Wonder Girls as well!! Just one song? Oh well… I wish them all the best in the present and the future. More success and more fan-loving :D

AA-CHAN's avatar

This saddens me immensely, but at least the members of BIG BANG will be doing something. Might save me some money in terms of releases though raspberry

 
travp16's avatar

The year has been ok without them. Epik High has made me forget about them. Also, I have gotten back into my Michael Jackson phase again and I love it.

 
getlazy's avatar

aw, i’m going to miss big bang D:
maybe it’ll give other groups the lime light while they aren’t doing promotions in Korea

 
angelbabi1225's avatar

gosh this article put me through a rollercoaster full of emotions…I was sad in the beginning knowing i wont be hearing them..then i read that some of them are making solo albums and movies, so i was happy to get to watch and hear them…but then the thought of them not being together made me sad again >.>

 
katchan's avatar

certainly!! but at least i’ll get to see Big Bang in some Japanese music station and MC Mong in 1 night and 2 days…..and Dr.Mong goes to Medical school XD

 
jisu's avatar

aww… well atleast we know that they’re still around and it’s nice to see big bang in yg live (hopefully), as long as they’re still working for us (fans), it’s alright…just a bit lonely though… but they’re doing pretty well promoting in foreign places and it’s important to keep up with fans from all over the world

I miss Big Bamg but I’m glad that Wondergirls are here in the US!  smile  Hopefully with these two top groups doing other things, 2NE1 and 2PM will get more attention and awards.

 
minheelv's avatar

I gonna miss them :(

 
vietnerdx3's avatar

awh that sucks monkey`s balls . i`d trade up the bazillion girl groups that debuted this year up for just one released album of big bang , wg , dbsk and many others .. but i`ll definitely be keeping up with their solo projects

 
sks020's avatar

That sucks. I’m happy for WG that they’re getting attention in the US and Big Bang is also making waves in Japan but God I miss them in Korea!! At least we still get to see the members of Big Bang through their solo albums and dramas… Can’t wait! <333

Agh! I have been Wonder Bang deprived for so long. I think I’m falling into depression. SIGH.

that sucks, so far there has been no Wonder Girls, DBSK, Big Bang, Lee Hyori, and BoA has been gone from Korea for like ever now. oh well, this year SNSD, SuJu, and 2PM pretty much took it all, 2NE1 is doing good too, and Seo Taiji is coming back, he is like the ultimate of ultimate in K-pop. this year had a lot of good stuff though, Gee and Genie has dominated Korea, Sorry Sorry and It’s you were really popular, Seo Taiji’s new album sounds like heaven, 2PM’s “I Hate You” is the best song i have heard from any boyband in a while. And if Big Bang or Wonder Girls get successful that means that they are gonna spend even more time away from Korea and more groups are gonna try to debut in other countries. Anyway, this year is Gee year, SNSD is like the “it” group in Korea right now, and it is even stronger than Wonder Girls were in Korea last year, and even if all the groups were around Gee would have been just as successful i bet.
