Right! And they don't realise that this was the point of the song, so it could reach the international market.

yaa

I have to disagree with you. If you listen to most of the music that are famous in Korea, they are not autotuned like this. Like every 10 min I could hear either "shampoo scent in the flowers", "Gaho - Start" (from Itaewon class) or "IU - Eight" when I was walking on the street in Korea.

so true

Yeah this sound is like 2020ish kpop now.hehe

hmm not really, this is actually very early 2010s pop, elctropop with dubstep

@@gzilla_00 no I mean if this was released now, it would be more huge... cuz this kind of music is still so popular these days.

@@happydepressed9210 especially in terms of the kpop scene. Kpop in 2012 wasn't like this at all and groups like Wonder Girls and Girls Generation paved the way for big Kpop Groups like BlackPink to have international sucess. I mean even to the fact that the words are sung in English much how Ice Cream by Black Pink is sung in English too.

Omg this was the bop of the century

Big facts

Agreed!

Facts !

Tiktok goddesses

16 years later after debut and tell me is going viral

Si ! 💚

Best song from Akon?

I knew about it in 2018 I was kpop obsessive and I was going to discover every kpop group in exist but there are just so many so its not going to be possible and there are new groups....

@@streamillellamamamoomv3889 You can just search in K-Profile.If I'm not wrong,all the kpop artists' (solo/groups) names are there.

@@justneoclowning9229 yup I saw that they missed some tho.

Lmao 😂😂

I agree, they had so many opportunities :(

It's 2012, the era of Gangnam Style, so you know...

gagnam style came out 3 months affter this. 3 month is enough time to blow up

This video is from 9th July 2012, Gangnam Style is from 15th July 2012 so...

Because I naughty naughty but the video was released on youtube in oktober?

They was seven years early ...i mean if it wasn't for the disintegration of the grpup these girls would kill it

The concept isn't very captivate, the song itself is very catchy but de MV...

TY21 Entertainment maybe it’s cuz of the mv concept

2NE1 HEY

TY21 Entertainment it wasn’t really well promoted and there were a lot of popular artists that made comebacks so it overshadowed them. JYP and YG should’ve just forgot about American debut and focused on the asian market. They tried so hard to get WG and 2NE1 into America but they weren’t having it.

Ikr, this song is more bop then some other famous song.

So true. First time I heard this song I can't stop playing it on my list

I remember hearing this song in a couple of radio stations in the US but it wasn't as popular as it should have been.

It came on all the time on Teen Nick

✨

I agree with your opinion, I this it's the reason why JYP haven't done international activities for twice, itzy, stray kids, and got7. Except jackson, he has solo carier on it.

I disagree, JYP just just did it wrong. YG might have something big with BLACKPINK once they finally get their global release. They’ll have an actual global label behind them compared to just Korean management trying to market them overseas.

Rondel Moore 2NE1 did very good with having a very strong international base. YG botched them though in their feed into the US market. Not a BP fan, but I hope they can get somewhere with YG that their Unnies got failed in. :(

@Serpil Orhan Idriz nope in 07/08 it was wonder girls they where more dominatant then SNSD at the time, irony and tell me out sold and outperformed Into the new world and Girls generation by a mile, back then it was called WonSoKa standing for Wonder Girls, SNSD and Kara, with wonder girls being the biggest selling girl group there numbers where on par with Boy groups, they where considered Big Bangs biggest rival not even Super junior, SS501 or TVXQ could compete with Big Bang and Wonder Girls at that time and they where the next biggest selling boy groups, sad to see that JYP let that go for american fame and fortune. But what came after this american adventure was the biggest selling Girl Band in kpop history. Litterally a band concept for a dance orientated group is probably something we will never see again. After 2009 was when 2ne1 T-Ara and sistar took the competition into there own hands and competed with snsd for top spot

Iceechibi Many People already lost interest in BP, because they only have like 12 songs or so

y'all have a weird obsession with bts and armys

The thing is we don’t have an obsession, They are really great and all, but they aren’t the firsts like Army’s claim.

xxyyzz aa listen i love wonder girls and i kinda get what you're talking about, they're legendary and one of the most unique kpop groups and i respect them for trying to do something in america (they deserved better btw) but let's be fucking honest here, they flopped, the reason why ppl think that bts was the first do this and that in the west is bc they're doing better (yes, that's the reality), ofc new fans don't know shit about wg or snsd's attempt to break into the U.S. market believe it or not even some old kpop stans don't remember (or care about) it... do we need to pretend that this was a hot 100 top 40 hit? 😳

Who flopped? They were the first kpop act to debut in billboard top 100, if you might remember.

xxyyzz aa the first kpop act to debut in the hot 100 and the fastest to fall on the charts 😭 do you know their history or are you a newbie using their old "achievements" in america to talk about another group? wg's debut in the U.S. was a waste of time even sunmi said that, they tried tho but it... wasn't THAT good, they used to be the biggest gg in korea even bigger than snsd but jyp and his greedy ass ruined it, everyone in korea knows "tell me" but no one in america remembers them, most ppl in america didn't even know about them when they were promoting bc as I said, they were trying, but they failed... unfortunately.

update: sadly, WG disbanded T_T

T-ARA & Wonder Girls Stan Not surprised at all. It was their time to, although amazing, they were a group for a while.

You are right. Even though it hurts seeing groups that you like so much disband, we have to understand that its just the natural thing to happen. Nothing lasts forever, music groups are no exception. People and their priorities/goals change. Its natural to feel sad about it, but all we can do is enjoy their music and wish for them the best in their lives.

Definitely true

Nah bro nahhhhh

Just saw this today and this would still be better than songs released recently.

Try 2010 collab jyj with kanye

Boa did the most international collabs back in 2003. She did one with Howie D and The Bratz called Show Me What You Got. And she did a live performance with Britney Spears.

Lol nobody says that actually, and as far as I know that GD or bigbang were the first Kpop acts to collaborate with western acts, but anyway maybe because it happens to be a really famous artists or a hit collabs but I've never seen anyone saying that I know that armies and blinks are kids but it's not like that

G dragon and missy Elliott did a song together too

Yup, just posted same myself.

Yes

But your profile name is actually me and thats icon too! xD

I remember Wanna be my chammak challOoOo😂

J2 Kay ..you sound bitter about bts 😚

I dont understand what bts has to do with this? Lmao NO ONE mentioned them, what are you so mad about

Bts isn't all the Kpop there is... It's because music changed worldwide that the Kpop has also changed nowadays, for me this song is a basic 2010's song, nothing to do with Kpop here, it's just that they followed the international trend in music

@@tekakiuluy3221 literally like go to any POP song back in the day and it straight up sounds similar to this, its a good song but is also a product of its time

Bro you got them triggered

dont worry love, bts dont need variety shows, variety shows need bts. Up until now they doing well without all those crap shows that treat artists badly

wonder girls flopped, bts didn't. wg never had a peak in the us plus we live in a digital world, their country can't forget them 💀

It's a different time now, back then not everyone had KZfaq to listen to their favs and watch them, now Koreans can still see BTS when they're at the mtv awards or others

Yea but we got an amazing Nickelodeon movie out of them!

Wonder girls had more problems than just failing in us, sadly.

why did they stop tho?

@@ryuniverse_coverz ❤️

And as I commented this, I just watched an anime episode that depicts and fitted perfectly to the lyrics of this song. Its not just the song's composition, even its lyrics were ahead of time.

BTS made their names by themselves stop discrediting them

@@aestaetic2 I'm not discrediting their hard work talent and drive but to not recognize their sunbaes and the groundwork they laid down to make it possible is disingenuous. You could ask any of the members and they would name check these artists the way others name check Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston.

@@aestaetic2 kpop has been a slow building wave in the US for over a decade. I'm sure there will be groups in the future that come out and top BTS's popularity and then groups that top those groups, its just how it is. I'm sure you would be upset if those future groups said they made a name for themselves in the US by themselves and discredited BTS's efforts in pushing the popularity of the genre

You new? They were not the first

@@ladyluck2534 yes, they are not the first , GD collaborate ft Florida at 2009

@@cherryvip9079 no that collab was forced coz they plagiarized flo-rida's song right around and fans noticed it. In order not to get sued they "collabed" with flo-rida. Kindly read all the articles about it. It was quite a controversy back then 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 And no its not the first collab. As far as i remem as a 16 yrs kpop listener, the first was either jyj with kanye or wg -------------- This is not the first time that G-Dragon has been accused of plagiarism. In 2009, there were claims that G-Dragon's song "Heartbreaker," was plagiarized from Flo Rida's "Right Round." EMI who has the rights to the song "Right Round," announced that they saw no similarities between the two songs. However, Sony Korea prevented G-Dragon from further promoting the song without paying reparations. They also sent a letter of warning about plagiarism, although not a legal action. www.google.com/amp/s/www.kpopstarz.com/amp/articles/285576/20170701/g-dragon-plagiarism-controversy-kpop.htm --------------------- Warner Korea, which is the publishing company to ‘Right Round’ in Korea, came out to say on 18th August, “The song ‘Heartbreaker’ which was revealed in full today has been confirmed to have plagiarised ‘Right Round’ by the composer. And the composer of ‘Right Round’ in America is in the dilemma of what to do and how to deal this case.”

the first was se7en with lil kim in fev 2009

No I believe it's BoA or se7en

I know all these groups, actually.

They also act like rapping is new. Old school could rap and had real vocalist. SiStar, Brown eyed girls, Kara! and just for bonus of talent *SOLJI* from EXID can sing her tail off

KARA is probably my favorite

ok kpoppie boomer

People prefer looks over talent nowadays

mmm not sure, it might've been boa? but that also could have just been a famous american dancer. idr.

boa and wg both got pretty famous in america around the same time.

I think it was gdragon with flo rida first

Same thing happened to me....(^.^)

Yonii G yeah me too LOL

Me to.

bingin15 how can you like this song, its so stupid. "Love me like money, love me like cars"??? really? The song flopped so JYP didn't know how to save face. Its also one of the reasons Wonder Girls broke up besides the other member getting married.

Mockavel Velli well to each their own. to me, it's like that person wants to be loved extravagantly.

You may like rainism by rain or I did it for love by boa❤

@@MegaUtobe I like those songs too! same with 2NE1's "I Am The Best" and BigBang's "Fantastic Baby"

@@fatimahanwaar306 ohhhhh you got good taste. 😆

I think now it's still Wonder Girls for me. Without them, kpop won't know worldwide. They are legend.

Monica Tricia I know. It's just they could have been more sucessful if JYP didn't decide to make WG invade to the US-UK industry.

vy tranthuynha That was the best JYP's move. That allowed them to become artists. Experience and learn other things, meet new people, falling in love, have small achievements and evolve. today our girls are one level higher. It's a shame that some people not see it that way and only care about that they weren't more successful in korea.

Monica Tricia dunno about that. i think kpop would have grown just a little bit later.

Chiaze20 Well, but that also allow them to lose Sunye, leads to Sohee's department too (although I'm happy that Sunye got married, I can not help but thinking that thanks to this she left WG).
