^omg

i really hope for you guys that they will release it soon! (just not before their korean comeback XD or together? that would be nice

)

^^yeah i think they are still pretty popular cuz 2DT did really good for only 2 weeks of promotions!! so im not really sure about that list especially since f(x) was so high

lumieregrl · #**182** 17th January 2011, 07:33 PM

Yea, last I heard from their store was we'd get both 2DT and the album for what we paid. Course, at that time, the album was supposed to be out last fall. Sigh. I've written it off as a donation now. XD

Seriously, they need to become active in Korea again anyway~they're so good!

miroro · #**183** 17th January 2011, 07:35 PM

^

they should give you the korean album instead

(if it's true that it comes out soon)

^did you pay alot for it????

lumieregrl · #**185** 17th January 2011, 07:43 PM

^ At that time, it was just the album and it was the usual American price for one - maybe $20-$25, not bad. It's just the whole lack of communication with the customers and failing to follow through promises that has been annoying. I don't know how many pre-ordered the album, but I'd hazard a guess that this didn't help their American promotion. XD It's just not good business practice.

^^ Honestly, I'm looking forward to a Korean album far more than an English one at this point.

That would be awesome to get the Korean one...although I wonder what will happen if there isn't an English album?

My concern is they will piddle around so long that one day we will hear that WG is no more. Release something before I really get worried, WG!

^i heard from alot of people that they pre-ordered it! man that really sucks.. have you guys contacted JYPE??

lumieregrl · #**187** 17th January 2011, 08:02 PM

^ Nope, I haven't, but I just found all of my original order emails and the pre-order update from last spring with their email address. I'm gonna write them!

Oh here we go. I preordered to get autographs. XD

JYP Entertainment has established a building office in New York to coordinate and work on their activities on the US. The building has a practice room and recording studio in order to practice and prepare there.

JYP Entertainment has been preparing for expansion to America since 2003 with the help of Woo Suk Lee, who is the vice president of the company. He said, "Until now, the game was just practice. Wonder Girls will begin authentic US debut this year."

For him the biggest barrier so far has been the language, that is why the girls have been taking language and acting classes and been living there to adapt to the lifestyle.

He revealed that the new Wonder girls’ album that will be released in March will have 6-7 new songs and that people like Rodney Jerkins and Claude Kelly, who are famous American musician/composer, will be involved in it. In addition, Wonder Girls EP album will be released by one of the three major record labels here in the US.

According to him the US market is saturated and that Asian music is just starting to grow, specially the Korean pop.

He finally commented that the use of YouTube is a way to have a connection to a wider audience, but that it just a part of many more things.

^Thanks for that information. I'm one of the few I guess who's still holding out for all this stuff they're doing in America. I've still got a few dollars set aside to buy their album in stores here when it's released. Oh and Rodney Jerkins I've heard of, but Claude Kelly, I haven't.

To be honest, all these people like BoA, Utada, WG etc debuting and selling music here, even if most didn't top the charts just feels so weird, as when I was in senior elementary and then high school way back it wasn't even heard of and I was teased for liking any of it at all. It's amazing how much things have changed in the 13 years I've been into Asian music. It just all makes me feel so happy.

Sorry for double posting, but brand new info out.

From AllKpop: The release of the album has been pushed back yet again. However, this time, only til April. Sometimes I wonder if we'll ever get it.

Also, other news. Video on Cambio of Wonder Girls and Claude Kelly in the studio. This one's worth watching IMO. I really enjoyed it.

MORE EXCITING NEWS

From KoreaBoo:

Wonder Girls to be featured on Teen Vogue

Quote:

On February 16th, Wonder Girls made their second appearance at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York, attending Jeremy Scott’s and Anna Sui’s Fall/Winter 2011 shows. It was also revealed that the girls would be appearing in American magazine Teen Vogue.

First, the Wonder Girls went to Jeremy Scott’s 90’s themed fashion show "Candy Flip", which featured neon colors, plastic fabrics, and superhero inspired outfits. Celebrities like Vanessa Hudgens, Keri Hilson, and Kanye West were also present. Last year the Wonder Girls stole the show, wearing black and yellow coordinates from Scott’s past collection. This year, they made heads turn and fans hyperventilate with what could be their most risqué fashion yet.

Before the show started, while the girls were looking for their front row seats, Teen Vogue's editors revealed to an online magazine that the Wonder Girls would be featured on an upcoming issue of Teen Vogue to introduce them to the American public.

After Scott’s show, the girls toned down their look as they got ready to hit Anna Sui’s fashion show, which featured her characteristic bohemian look with geometric prints and a touch of cuteness. Black Eyed Peas’ Fergie also attended the show, and Vanessa Hudgens posed for photos with the Wonder Girls.

^Teen Vogue is the younger version of VOGUE. Teen Vogue is aimed at teenagers and people at beginning of 20s while the other reg VOGUE is aimed at women in their older 20's through to like in their 40s. They're one of the more popular fashion magazines in America. I see them at every stand and by the check-out counter of every store.
