Wonder Girls have plans for China too!

The Wonder Girls were in Beijing, China today for a studio interview with Sina.com. There were the usual interview questions with the Wonder Girls which I am not going to write on much since we have ALL heard it before. What's important though was the interview with JY Park who revealed his masterplan outline about the Wonder Girls taking on America and China in the latter half of 2009.

JY Park confirmed that the Wonder Girls were indeed appearing on 13 shows for the Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009 and said it would be a meaningful opportunity. He said that it was not simply taking 1 step but essentially going 3 - 4 steps away from others who were debuting at the same time. JY Park also said, "There's Toyota, Hyundai in America while Jackie Chan has also made a name for himself in Hollywood. But why isn't there an Asian artiste who can hold his own in the music industry? This is an excellent opportunity for us and although it's going to be a difficult one, I have to say that there is no better time for us to enter the industry then now."

Group photo with fans

JY Park also lavished praise on his charges, "When one goes to America, everyone has to start from scratch again. The Wonder Girls might be really popular in Korea because of Nobody, but it's nothing in America because no one knows about them. But I am very touched to see them being able to start from scratch again, with the same determination as they did before their debut in Korea and the strong will to want to excel again."

Being interviewed

'In Korea, there will be people helping them to clean their rooms, handle their daily lifestyles for them because of their star status. But after going to America, I told them that they were not stars anymore, they have to start from scratch again, being just like how they were before their debut. They have to get their own necessities, clean their own rooms, etc. It's pretty difficult to adjust from being a star to a nobody in such a short time, but they were able to accept it and just do it effortlessly, so I am very impressed.

Sun Ye and Ye Eun



JYP also talked about plans for the Wonder Girls in China, "Actually, our plans for the Wonder Girls have a concert in China has been pretty much finalized for this winter. We hope that a lot of people will come to support them. Besides releasing an English album this autumn in America, we are also going to release a Chinese album at the same time as well. All of them have a Chinese name and have been learning the language constantly, hoping to meet their Chinese fans with their album as soon as possible."

This pretty much confirms that we won't see them in Korea much for 2009.

hmm i don’t know if they should concentrate on both countries at the same time… US seem to be pretty hard to break into. It took DBSK, BIG BANG, BOA, SEVEN, ect. awhile to break into japan’s market and its pretty similar to us market….and now boa and seven are also trying to break into the us market and they are well experience…hmm i don’t know if they will succeed….well anyway good luck to them..

now i want to see the other groups to debut in america….such as epik high,dbsk (love their acapella), and more!

good luck to the wondergirls, bt here r my true thoughts
i’m sry, bt not matter how catchy tell me, so hot, and nobody is, it’s not gonna make u world wide famous even if u have them in 3 languages…
i think they should try one big country @ a time…not 2 @ the same time..it’s both physically n mentally tiring…and when you’re tired you can’t put ur whole effort into it, not matter how much you way you will try….
i’m not bashing the girls or anything, n i hope the best for them but yea…that’s my thoughts…

American and then China. Why don’t they try in Taiwan they will have a better chance. Since in Taiwan they are more open example Da Mouth. It would be better if they came out with Nobody during the summer since most students will not be in school and be online all the time.

JYP is hell of a smart man! he really thinks in front of everybody else. not only is this the right time to compete with the other korean artists coming into the US right now, but also the right time to step aside for all the 2009 girl groups.

they’re such FADS! with all these shine-and-fade girl groups pouring onto the stage in korea right now, why try to steal 1/6 of a spotlight when u can get famous all over the world and come back to dominate in 2010?

again, JYP.. really..

They look sad.. just plain sad on Sina.

and… no, please don’t! Wondergirls in the states is bad enough.. now Wondergirls in China and singing in Chinese?! As much as I love JYP’s strategies, this is really sounding iffy and he trying to shoot too many birds with one stone.
