►►How did the Wonder Girls’ concert in Taiwan go?
WONDERGIRLS’s last public day in Taiwan was naturally set aside for the numerous fans who adored them! Since last night, many fans had started queuing, hoping to get a closer glimpse of WONDERFIRLS’s svelteness. For this fan gathering, WONDERGIRLS performed 3 songs including the classic ‘Nobody’ which was presented in its Chinese version.
Here comes the signature ‘Nobody’! WONDERGIRLS is in Taiwan for 4 days, with only one platform to showcase their golden vocals. The organizers even freighted in WONDERGIRLS’s exclusive ‘W’ microphones. Attired in golden tassel dresses, they were completely authentic in flavor when paraded for the Taiwan fans. WONDERGIRLS: “Hello everybody. We are the WONDERGIRLS.”
They proffered their hard-learned Chinese, which touched the Taiwan fans. The site’s 400-500 crowd was insufficient. The second & third floors were also packed with a human tide. Many others were shut out outside, watching through glass windows & reluctant to leave. The downstage fans were holding balloons, posters, someone even drew a giant ‘W’ on their face to welcome the idols.
Reporter: “How does it feel to be so close to WONDERGIRLS?”
WONDERGIRLS fan: “It’s not bad. They are prettier in person.”
The entire event lasted a short 50 minutes, causing many unsatisfied fans to holler for more. But WONDERGIRLS disclosed that they are launching their new multiple-language album in May, & will not rule out returning to Taiwan for promotions. The fans are asked to wait & see.

►►Is JYPE aware of Wonder Girls’ new ‘humilation’ in America?
A “Buy Rice, get free Wonder Girls album” was spotted by hawkeyed netizens for a promotional event at a Korean supermarket with locations in New York and New Jersey. Has JYP gone to new lows by promoting the girls this way?
An article in the Korean press is calling this the “Wonder Girls humilation in America”.
However, a representative of the supermarket stated they want the Wonder Girls to succeed in America by giving out the album that’s difficult to acquire there.
So the next time you dip your chopsticks in Kyonggi Rice, think Wondergirls.
Wonder Girls will be coming out with a new album in May 2010.

►►Wonder Girls to release a full-length American album in July
It was announced that next month Wonder Girls will be releasing a new mini album worldwide. While some fans were disappointed about the news that it was just going to be an EP, it looks like this will just be a taste for what’s coming.
It turns out that in addition to an EP in May, a totally new album will be released in July.
A JYPE representative said that the May mini album will have the English versions of ‘Nobody’, ‘So Hot’, and ‘Tell Me’, as well as 2 to 3 new songs.
It is already known that the title song of the mini album will be released in 3 different languages. Meanwhile, the album to be release in July will be a completely different English album.
In December it was revealed that Wonder Girls were working with producer musician, Dave Stewart. Their collaboration resulted in a song named ‘Always Without Me’ which was supposed to be included in the album set to be released in February. After the announcement that Wonder Girls would be releasing a mini album in May, many believed this song would be forgotten but we might actually hear the Wonder Girls singing it.
The JYPE representative also said, “The album that is going to be released in July may contain the song by Eurythmic’s member Dave Stewart.”
It’s kind of interesting that a new English album will be released in July while Wonder Girls will be having their tour in June where they said they would be singing in Korean and English since they don’t have many English songs.
Seems like Wonder Girls are not giving up on their journey to conquer the American market.

►►Bad-mouthed SNSD Tiffany from Cubed3 interview is a fake
Following the great amount of interests from Korean and international fans and netizens regarding some of the responses that So Nyeo Shi Dae Tiffany made during her interview with English gaming site Cubed3, the host site has taken down the interview content and announced that the interview came from an unknown and unauthentic source.
*Even though I don’t know much about the article, it seems like this fake SNSD’s Tiffany was talking trash about Wonder Girls and Wonderfuls so that’s why fans were mad…
The site wrote, “It has come to the attention of Cubed3 that an unknown source has willingly attempted to portray themselves as Tiffany from Girls’ Generation in order to gain attention. “
Cubed3 replaced the interview content put up previously and replaced with:
It has come to the attention of Cubed3 that an unknown source has willingly attempted to portray themselves as Tiffany from Girls’ Generation in order to gain attention.
The C3 team is currently working with SMTown/SM Entertainment to get to the bottom of this matter and hopefully an update will be forthcoming in the near future.
In the meantime, Cubed3 would like to extend its apologies to any fans that have been inconvenienced or misled by this article.
Thank you for your patience regarding this matter and please continue to enjoy the regular Nintendo-related news updates on the site.
