Wonder Girls

The Wonder Girls' legacy is undeniable. No K-Pop group has ever done retro sounds as well as the Wonder Girls, and their song Nobody paved the way for K-Pop groups to break into America. They have earned their place as one of the greatest K-Pop groups of all time. Wonder Girls, formed by JYP Entertainment in 2007, quickly became one of the world's biggest K-Pop wonders. Debuting with the song Irony, a very late 2000s sounding song, the group found immediate success thanks to Irony and their first massive hit Tell Me.

Following the success of their previous singles, the Wonder Girls released two new singles, So Hot and Nobody. Both songs were huge hits, but Nobody would go on to become one of the most influential K-Pop songs of all time. Nobody peaked at number 76 on the Billboard Hot 100 after being released in Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and English. As a result, it became the first K-Pop song to ever chart on the Billboard Hot 100. Nobody's level of popularity back then is impossible to accurately describe.

For a time, the Wonder Girls reigned as K-Pop's queens and they went on a successful world tour. The lead single from their 2011 album Wonder World, Be My Baby, showcased more of the Wonder Girls' signature retro sound. The Wonder Girls had a lot of international promotions during this time period, which caused their South Korean promotions to decline. The group's 2016 song Why So Lonely, a Reggae-inspired track, was a big hit and won a bunch of music awards. It turns out to be the group's final major hit. JYP Entertainment announced in early 2017 that Sunmi and Yeeun's contracts would not be renewed and that the Wonder Girls would be disbanded. The group released one final single, Draw Me as an anniversary gift to fans on February 10th, and then the Wonder Girls were no more.
