EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Wonder Girls Teen Diaries
Wondering who the Wonder Girls are? Well wonder no more. The South Korean pop group are invading the U.S. with their catchy songs and unique fashion sense. The quintet which includes members Sun, 20, Yenny, 20, Mimi, 17, Yubin, 21, Sohee, 17 made history when their first single titled Nobody landed on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart, making them the first group from South Korea to make such a mark in the U.S. Weve featured them before as Artists to Watch, but weve one upd ourselves with an exclusive interview with the fab five. Check out what the ladies have to say about their career, touring with the Jonas Brothers, which celeb makes them star struck, and the one thing they cant leave home without
➫
TEEN DIARIES: At what age did you all start singing individually, and how was your group the Wonder Girls put together?
WG: Well, Sun was a trainee in JYP entertainment [a Korean talent agency] for the longest (over 8 years) and then Sohee came next. Then before the debut, Yenny joined the group and then Yubin soon followed! Then lastly, Lim joined the group not long ago! Its pretty confusing right?
TEEN DIARIES: How did you or your record label come up with the name Wonder Girls?
WG: The name Wonder Girls was actually the name of [our] reality show (which was about making of our band) in Korea. We all liked the name so much that we decided to call ourselves the Wonder Girls.
TEEN DIARIES: You all are so fashionable! Where are some of your favorite places to shop online?
WG: Favorite places to shop online? Hmm
we dont shop online a lot
we love to go shopping in NYC such as Soho, and the West Village.
TEEN DIARIES: Are your fashion styles similar to one another or do you all dress very differently on your days off?
WG: Our fashion styles are all very different. We all have different tastes in fashion. For instance, Sohee loves unique items, and Lim goes for the comfortable fashion. Lim will definitely choose sneakers over heels!
TEEN DIARIES: What was the highlight of touring with the Jonas Brothers?
WG: The highlight was
wow there were so many precious moments
but wed have to say it was the day when the Jonas Brothers asked us to be on the entire tour with them (about 50 shows). We were only supposed to open for them for about 10 shows!!!
TEEN DIARIES: If you could put together your idea of the coolest tour (featuring the Wonder Girls of course) which artists/groups would be on the lineup?
WG: Hmm
Rihanna, Beyonce, Jonas Brothers
there are so many artists wed like to add~
TEEN DIARIES: What other bands/singers (past or present) do you admire or draw inspiration from?
WG: For Sun, its Beyonce- she gets inspired from her powerful performance. Yenny loves Aretha Franklin and would like to meet her one day. For Lim, it is Boa because her music has really inspired her a lot she even auditioned for JYP Entertainment with her songs!
TEEN DIARIES: Which US city has been your favorite so far and why?
WG: We all loved San Francisco, because of the clear sky and the fresh air! We also felt very peaceful and calm there
TEEN DIARIES: What is the one thing you cant live without while touring?
WG: Our phones and our computers! Not just while touring but ALWAYS ~ Actually Yubin says she can live without a phone, but not without internet haha.
TEEN DIARIES: Sony Ericssons chose you girls to be their ambassadors! What are you favorite tech gadgets?
WG: It would be the Sony X10, because the design is so chic, and we love the timescale function because it always keeps us updated.
TEEN DIARIES: What has been the craziest thing a fan has ever done for any of you?
WG: While on tour in the U.S. we remember some fans that followed us to every single city
we were so thankful
And also a non-Korean fan made us Korean food and brought [it] over to our show venue~ we were really touched
and the food tasted awesome too!
TEEN DIARIES: Do you ever get star struck meeting other celebrities? If so, who were you most excited to meet?
WG: Its always exciting to meet other celebrities! Recently, it was Katy Perry! We were so excited to meet her at the MTV World Stage! We couldnt believe that we were performing at the same event!
TEEN DIARIES: What has the best advice you have ever received from your parents?
WG: Hmm
.Too much to mention! , but one thing all our members have in common is that our parents always told us to believe in ourselves and our dreams, and be a loving person.
TEEN DIARIES: Your group has thousands of Twitter followers! Do you connect with both your American and Korean fans using Twitter? Is Twitter very popular in Korea? Are you following @TeenDiaries on Twitter yet?
WG: Yes, we connect with both American and Korean fans through twitter which I think is truly amazing and most of all, its fun! Twitter is starting to get more and more popular in Korea now and no.. were not following TeenDiaries yet~ But we would definitely love to start soon!
TEEN DIARIES: What was one thing you loved and hated about having your own reality show The Wonder Life on MTV?
WG: We always wanted to be on a reality show, because it gives us and the viewers a special connection.
But what we didnt really like about the reality show is that sometimes (especially when we just wake up) the camera comes up too close to us! We mean TOO CLOSE!!!!! >< hehehe
TEEN DIARIES: Whats next for the Wonder Girls?
WG: Were currently in Asia for promotion, visiting countries such as China, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and of course Korea, but we will be back to the US soon to do some more events and to record our next album! Were really looking forward to our new album release, right now planned for January! YAY~!
