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).

Wonder Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
누가 뭐래도 너는 언제나 니 멋대로 하잖니
너만 좋으면 된거고 너만 웃으면 된거지
다른 사람 눈엔 눈물 고이건 말건 상관없지
그런데 어쩐 일이야 니가 왜 돌아온거야
그렇게 나를 냉정하게 버리고 돌아서더니
이제와 사랑한다고 이제야 깨달았다고
You've been a bad boy to me
Don't come back to me
이제 와서 어쩌라고 내게 이러는 거니 (내게 이러는 거니)
말이 되니 기분 나쁜 아이러니
그 여자에게 채였다고 내게 돌아온거니
내가 그리도 바보같니 내가
아직 그대로 너를 잊지 못하고
니가 왔다고 웃으며 받아 줄 거라고 믿었니
나는 그동안 많이 컸어 나는 그동안 변했어
마음속에 있는 너의 모습 깨끗이 다 지웠어
그런데 무슨 말이야 내가 왜 너의 여자야
그런 말따윈 다신 입밖으로 꺼내지도 마
뭘 다시 해보자는 거야 왜 기횔 달라는 거야
딱 기회가 있었을 때 좀 잘해보지 그랬니
You've been a bad boy to me (a bad boy to me)
Don't come back to me (don't come back to me)
이제 와서 어쩌라고 내게 이러는 거니 (내게 이러는 거니)
말이 되니 (말이 되니) 기분 나쁜 아이러니 (hoo)
그 여자에게 채였다고 내게 돌아온거니 (break it down)
Tryna get that love back ain't that funny
니가 버린 사랑을 왜 뒤늦게
구걸하러 돌아온거야 불쌍하게
떠났으면 그 여자랑 잘 살아야지 누가 차이래
그러게 뭐래 누가 날 떠나래
눈에 뭐가 씌었나봐 그래도 안돼
그 말 한마디로 어떻게 넘어갈 생각 하지마
이번엔 절대 안돼 너완 이게 마지막
Bad boy to me (boy to me)
Don't come back to me (don't come back to me)
이제 와서 어쩌라고 내게 이러는 거니 (내게 이러는 거니)
말이 되니 (말이 되니) 기분 나쁜 아이러니 (나쁜 아이러니)
그 여자에게 채였다고 내게 돌아온거니 (내게 돌아온거니)
You've been a bad boy to me (oh yeah)
Don't come back to me (hoo)
이제 와서 어쩌라고 내게 이러는 거니 (내게 이러는 거니)
말이 되니 yeah yeah 기분 나쁜 아이러니 (나쁜 아이러니)
그 여자에게 채였다고 내게 돌아온거니 yeah yeah
The lyrics of Wonder Girls' song "Bad Boy" depict a woman scorned by her ex-boyfriend who left her for another woman but now wants to come back. The song expresses the woman's anger and frustration at her ex, who now realizes that he loves her. The main point of the lyrics is that the woman won't give him another chance and that he shouldn't try to come back into her life. The refrain of the song, "You've been a bad boy to me, don't come back to me" emphasizes the woman's determination to move on from the relationship.
The lyrics are a relatable expression of the pain and hurt that comes with a breakup, particularly a betrayal. The words of the song reveal the strength of a woman who refuses to be treated as an option by someone who did not value her when he had the chance. It also highlights the importance of self-respect, self-love, and moving on from difficult situations.
