Wonder Girls

The five retro-glam cuties from the Wonder Girls are huge pop sensations in Korea and Asia, and are beginning the rumblings of an American takeover as well. In just a few short years, the Wonder Girls have had multiple hits in Korea, and their signature '60s style and gorgeous voices brought them worldwide attention. During the summer of 2009, the Wonder Girls toured with The Jonas Brothers and hit cities across the US with the hottest K-pop boy group 2PM! Now in 2010, they’re gearing up to blow up, performing with Justin Bieber and adding 2AM to their tour. They've also evolved as fashion icons: In their new single “2 Different Tears,” the Wonder Girls fast-forward their retro aesthetic, jumping two decades to the '80s. Watch them as they even make acid-wash look cute.

Roll call! Sun "The Boss," Sohee "Dumpling," Yenny "The Queen," Yubin the "Romantic Jock," and the newest member Lim will knock your socks off. We <3 the Wonder Girls, and all summer long we’re going to be giving up the exclusives: photos, videos, and more…

<p>Spring - Seoul, 2003: I have arrived in Korea to begin the job that countless other Americans have held upon landing at Incheon International Airport: English teacher to college students who successfully challenge the stereotype that education is seriously valued in Asian countries. Trying to learn more about Korean culture, I start watching Korean music channels and get my first real exposure to K-pop music: hot girls, pretty boys, and a lot of dancing. “It’s like a fourth generation Xerox copy of American bubblegum pop,” I tell a friend. Six years later, I can’t get the Wonder Girls’ “Nobody” out of my head and quickly learn that making bubblegum pop is a very serious, very expensive business.</p>

Perez Hilton follows his instincts and they serve him well. Especially when it comes to music. In this fun segment, Margaret Cho asks Perez about his interest in musicians who are well-known in their home countries but little known internationally. Perez has long supported Iggy favorites, especially the Wonder Girls, and here he talks about Aziz, the transsexual Bulgarian superstar, Yelle, the French electro-disco-pop diva, his SXSW party, Sarah McLachlan, and how you don't have to understand the lyrics to love the song. In the wise words of Madonna: music makes the people come together.
