Yu-jin Lee, our colleague at Admerasia, passed on this piece of great news about the South Korean girl band, Wonder Girls.
According to Channel News Asia in Singapore, the Wonder Girls recently became the first ever Korean group to enter the rotation playlists of some of the top radio stations in the United States, according to reports on Oct.20.
The band’s agency JYP Entertainment reportedly added that the Wonder Girls’ US debut single “Nobody” has made its way into the rotation playlists of 18 out of 167 “Top40 Radio Stations” located across major US cities.
The band, which consists of five members aged 17 to 21, shot to fame in late 2007 with the hit single “Tell Me,” and went on to conquer parts of Asia.
The five-piece ensemble, known for their catchy tunes and sultry dance moves, reportedly made their presence felt in the West when it released “Nobody” in America in June, and performed as the opening act for all 53 Jonas Brothers concerts.
