Debuting in early 2007, they became popular in the fall of that year with the song "Tell Me." They have scored five consecutive #1 hit singles: "Tell Me", "So Hot", "Nobody", "2 Different Tears" and "Be My Baby". In 2008, they won two "Artist of the Year" awards.
The group began their entry into the American market in 2009, with lead single "Nobody"; the single became the first song by a Korean group to enter the Billboard Hot 100. They are co-managed in the United States by JYP Entertainment and Jonas Group. They managed to place 4th with "Nobody" on the Canadian single charts for the past 2 weeks of March 2011.
Former member Hyuna (현아) left in June '07 due to health problems. She later joined girl group 4minute which disbanded in 2016. At the end of 2009, Sunmi (선미) left to continue her education. She was replaced with trainee Hyelim. She later on returned to singing with the release of her hit-single "24시간이 모자라" in 2013. With the announcement of Wonder Girls' comeback in 2015, Sunmi rejoined the group. Later in 2015, Sunye (선예) and Sohee (소희) officially withdrew from the group.
On 26 January 2017, Wonder Girls officially disbanded after members Sunmi and Yeeun decided not to renew their contracts. A farewell single entitled, "그려줘", was released on the groups 10th anniversary (10 February).

어쩌면 좋아 너무나 좋아
꿈만 같아서 나
내 자신을 자꾸 꼬집어 봐 너무나 좋아
니가 날 혹시 안 좋아할까봐
혼자 얼마나 애 태운지 몰라
그런데 니가 날 사랑한다니
Tell me tell me
Tell tell tell tell tell tell me
나를 사랑한다고 날 기다려 왔다고
Tell me tell me
Tell tell tell tell tell tell me
내가 필요하다 말해, 말해줘요

꿈이 아니라고 말해, 말해줘요
어쩜 내 가슴이 이렇게 뛰니
가슴이 정말 터질 것 같아
니가 날 볼 때면
전기에 감전된 사람처럼 전기가 올라
얼마나 오래 기다린지 몰라
얼마나 오래 꿈 꿨는지 몰라
그런데 니가 날 사랑한다니 어머나

The lyrics to Wonder Girls' song "Tell Me" express the overwhelming emotions of falling in love for the first time. The singer admits that they never expected the person they're interested in to reciprocate their feelings but they are ecstatic that they do. The singer's feelings are like a dream they never want to wake up from, and they keep pinching themselves to make sure it's real. However, they also worry that the person they love may not like them back, which causes them anxiety and makes them feel like they've been suffering alone. When they find out that the person they love also loves them back, they are overcome with happiness and want to hear it over and over again.
The lyrics of "Tell Me" capture the essence of the first flush of love, with all of its excitement, anxiety, and joy. The suddenness of these intense emotions is conveyed by the repetition of the phrase "tell me," which creates a sense of urgency and desire to hear those words of affection. The singer's experience of falling in love is portrayed as something that is both wonderful and terrifying, with the possibility of rejection a constant source of worry. Despite these anxieties, the singer is determined to express their love and longing, as conveyed by the repeated plea to "tell me."

@maddiej2165
Fun fact: Wonder Girls hated this song so much that they actually begged JYP not to release it. Imagine if JYP agreed then this legendary masterpiece wouldn’t be here
@rachelcookie321
Well I understand, they probably found it incredibly annoying after having to listen to it hundreds of times while practicing
@IFunMaker
They can be proud still one of the best k pop Song for me
@avocadose5696
IM GLAD JYP POST IT this is a masterpiece
