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 ↴
할 말이 있었던 건 아냐
나 니 목소리가 듣고 싶어서
알아 이럼 안된 단걸
우린 이미 끝났단 걸
그래도 잠시만 아주 잠시만 이렇게 있어줄래
I'm with my girlfriend right now
여자친구라 한 게 맞아
진심이니 그럴 리가 없잖아
She is your girlfriend right now
지금 그녀도 듣고 있니
나 같은 거 아무 의미 없다고 너 말하니
진심일 리 없잖아 don't lie
나도 미쳤어 나 답지 않았어
평소였음 할 수 없을 바보짓을 했어
그래도 넌 멀쩡했잖아 제 정신이었잖아
차라리 받지 않았음 됐잖아
그렇게 잠들 수 있었잖아
I'm with my girlfriend right now
믿기지가 않아 지금 너
여자친구라 한 게 맞아
진심이니 그럴 리가 없잖아
She is your girlfriend right now
지금 그녀도 듣고 있니
나 같은 거 아무 의미 없다고 너 말하니
진심일 리 없잖아 don't lie
She is your girlfriend
I was your girlfriend?
듣고 싶은 건 그게 아냐
말 안 해도 알아
이렇게 지나면 끝인 거야?
아무렇지 않은 거야?
그걸로 된 거야? (baby don't lie)
날 사랑했던 거 날 잊는 거
아무것도 아니게 되는 거
넌 그게 쉬워? 그렇게 비워? 날 지워?
그래 미쳤던 거라 해 널 아직 잊지 못해
헛소리 한 거라 해
내일이면 기억도 안 날 텐데
I'm with my girlfriend right now
믿기지가 않아 지금 너
여자친구라 한 게 맞아
진심이니 그럴 리가 없잖아
She is your girlfriend right now
지금 그녀도 듣고 있니
나 같은 거 아무 의미 없다고 너 말하니
진심일 리 없잖아 don't lie
I'm with my girlfriend right now
믿기지가 않아 지금 너
여자친구라 한 게 맞아
진심이니 그럴 리가 없잖아 (그럴 리가 없잖아)
She is your girlfriend right now
지금 그녀도 듣고 있니
나 같은 거 아무 의미 없다고 너 말하니
진심일 리 없잖아 don't lie (lie, lie, lie, lie)
Don't lie (don't lie, lie, lie, lie)
"Girlfriend" by Wonder Girls tells the story of a girl who has moved on with her life and is now in a new relationship. The song is about her ex-boyfriend who is struggling to accept that she has found someone new. In the first verse, the ex-boyfriend apologizes for waking her up if she was sleeping and admits that he just wants to hear her voice. He knows that their relationship is over, but he still wants to be close to her in some way. In the second verse, the ex-boyfriend acknowledges that he made mistakes and acted foolishly during their relationship. However, he cannot believe that his ex-girlfriend is now with someone else and questions the sincerity of her new relationship.
The chorus highlights the conflict between the ex-couple. The girl confirms that she is now in a new relationship and that it is real. She cannot understand why her ex-boyfriend is still holding onto the hope that they will get back together. The lyrics emphasize the idea that sometimes things just end without any real explanation, and that it can be hard to accept when someone moves on.
Overall, "Girlfriend" is a song about the difficulty of letting go of a past relationship and the pain of seeing someone you once loved move on without you.

자고 있었나 봐 깨웠다면 미안해
Sorry for waking you up, I guess you were sleeping
할 말이 있었던 건 아냐
There was nothing I wanted to say
나 니 목소리가 듣고 싶어서
I just wanted to hear your voice
알아 이럼 안된 단걸
I know this is wrong
우린 이미 끝났단 걸
We've already broken up
그래도 잠시만 아주 잠시만 이렇게 있어줄래
But could you please stay with me, just for a little while?
나도 미쳤어 나 답지 않았어
I was crazy, I wasn't myself
평소였음 할 수 없을 바보짓을 했어
I did something foolish that I would never do normally
그래도 넌 멀쩡했잖아 제 정신이었잖아
But you were fine, you were in your right mind
차라리 받지 않았음 됐잖아
I should've just ignored it
그렇게 잠들 수 있었잖아
Then I could've gone to sleep peacefully
She is your girlfriend right now
She's your girlfriend now
지금 그녀도 듣고 있니
Is she listening now?
나 같은 거 아무 의미 없다고 너 말하니
You say it doesn't mean anything, that I'm nobody
진심일 리 없잖아 don’t lie
Don't lie, it's not true
듣고 싶은 건 그게 아냐
That's not what I wanted to hear
말 안 해도 알아
I know without you saying
이렇게 지나면 끝인 거야?
Is this how it ends?
아무렇지 않은 거야?
Is it really that easy?
그걸로 된 거야? (Baby don’t lie)
Is that all it takes? (Baby don't lie)
날 사랑했던 거 날 잊는 거
You loved me, but now you're forgetting me
아무것도 아니게 되는 거
I'm becoming nothing
넌 그게 쉬워? 그렇게 비워? 날 지워?
Is it easy for you? So easy to erase me?
그래 미쳤던 거라 해 널 아직 잊지 못해
I admit I was crazy, but I still haven't forgotten you
헛소리 한 거라 해
You say I'm just talking nonsense
내일이면 기억도 안 날 텐데
By tomorrow, you won't even remember me
Don't lie
Don't lie

Well, Jenny wrote those lyrics after her breakup, and it kind of did happen like that, they had a fight, one day partying with the girls, she called him, he said "I'm with my girlfriend right now" (he was from the US) and well, you know the rest.
