Wonder Girls Youtube hit after appearing on FOX TV in the US
Date: December 11, 2009
The five-member Korean girl group Wonder Girls made another successful appearance on a mainstream U.S. main broadcast on Wednesday (Dec. 9). After their performance on FOX TV’s “So You Think You Can Dance: Season Six” the group came first in the Hottest Searches list on Googles, the major Internet search engine.
So You Think Can Dance is a highly popular dance audition program in the United States that showcases various genres of dance. A kind of elimination game show, the idea is to choose the best performer or performing group each show. Wonder Girls danced to their U.S. debut song “Nobody” and shed tears of happiness after the performance, according to the news report.
The video clip showing their dancing on the show alone received over 100,000 hits on YouTube, the world famous video sharing website. “We hope this leads to more calls from other American shows and programs,” said JYP Entertainment, the agency for the Wonder Girls.
The five girls, Sun, Yenny, Mimi, Sohee and Yubin have been preparing for their U.S. debut since October 2008. After releasing their first digital single in both the United States and Korea in June 2009, the group joined the Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009 Concert for two months. After their first official show in the United States, the group’s song “Nobody” made it to the Billboard Hot 100 in October, making Wonder Girls the first Asian group to realize the feat in 30 years.
Meanwhile back in Korea, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism selected Wonder Girls and Korean boy group Big Bang as the Artists of the Year. The two groups are scheduled to receive awards at the 2009 Korea Content Award for their contributions overseas. The boy group performed a similar feat with their hit shows in Japan.
