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).

Wonder Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
아무리 날 설득해도 들리지가 않아
내 귓속에 눈물이 고여 있나 봐
바보 같다 화를 내도 니가 밉질 않아
내 눈 속에 사랑이 맺혀 있나 봐
이렇게 한다고 지금 널 잡는다고
안 좋게 끝날 뿐이라고
이미 끝났다고 친구들이 말려도
맘이 말을 듣지를 않아
몸이 말을 듣지를 않아
니가 뭐라고 해도 난 못 가 (못 가)
아무리 날 밀쳐도 난 못 놔 (못 놔)
여기서 널 놔주면 후회 할 걸 알아
두고 두고 두고 두고 두고 두고 두고 두고 두고
차가운 말 차가운 표정
차가운 행동과
꼭 남에게 하는 듯한 화난 목소리
이 모든 걸 다 보고도
니가 밉질 않아
내 가슴에 사랑이 아직도 남아서
처음 널 만났던 그 때 니 모습들과
나에게 너무 잘해주던
따뜻했던 너의 미소가
아직도 내 눈엔 선한 걸 어떡해
눈이 말을 듣지를 않아
귀가 말을 듣지를 않아
니가 뭐라고 해도 난 못 가 (못 가)
아무리 날 밀쳐도 난 못 놔 (못 놔)
여기서 널 놔주면 후회 할 걸 알아
두고 두고 두고 두고 두고 두고 두고 두고 두고
난 이 끈을 못 놔
나의 손이 다 헤지고 다 헤져도 oh
아무리 니가 (니가)
나의 맘을 계속 아프고 아프게 해도
니가 뭐라고 해도 난 못 가 (절대로 못놔)
아무리 날 밀쳐도 난 못 놔 (나는 못가)
여기서 널 놔주면 후회 할 걸 알아
두고 두고 두고 두고 두고 두고 두고
Oh woo no (though I can let you go)
Oh no, no 두고 두고 두고 두고 두고
The Wonder Girls' song "Do Go Do Go" talks about a person who is in a difficult situation in a relationship. The person's lover is trying to convince them to leave, but they can't seem to let go. They aren't able to hear any reasoning or logic that is presented to them because they have love in their heart for their partner. They become angry and upset, but they don't hate their partner. They can't make their heart and body listen to their mind or follow their plan to leave.
The lyrics also describe the past relationship where things were different compared to how they are now. At first, the partner was kind and loving and treated the person well. They had a warm smile and gentle actions, but now they are cold and act like they are angry with the person. Despite witnessing all of this negativity, the person can't bring themselves to hate their partner because their love still remains in their heart.
Overall, "Do Go Do Go" portrays the helpless feeling of being unable to walk away from a toxic relationship due to still having love in one's heart. The song highlights the emotional turmoil and swings between love and anger that can exist within a dysfunctional relationship.
