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).

알아 모두 아는 연애의 룰 (연애의 룰)
내 사랑엔 글로 배운 기술
따윈 절대 필요 없을 줄
안 난 널 너무 사랑한 바보
안대 찬 말였어 아마도
날 모는 실력 better than 양치기
거짓말만 배웠네 from that story
알고 있었는지도
너의 사랑이 마르고
있다는 걸 믿고 싶지 않았을 뿐
다정했던 미소에
안심했던 난 그저
착각하고 싶은 거야
We loved
사랑했어 널 마지막처럼
You loved
Like 제일 행복한 여자처럼
Ah loved
널 바보처럼 너무도 깊게
Yeah we loved
끝이란 걸 믿을 수 없어
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Loved you like a fool
Loved me like a jewel
Loved you like a fool
Uh 이미 후회 하기엔 멀어져
가는 네 뒷모습에 서글퍼져
잡히지도 않는 그림자라도
(Step) 한번 밟아 봐도
허무하게 빠져 나가 don't understand
이별이란 이런 건가 is the end?
사실 자신 없어 nope
Please sir 잊어 널
넌 말 쉽게 마
너 아님 안돼 나
우리 사이의 반은 두 손을 잡은 채로
서로 다른 곳을 바라본 것 같아
이별은 보란 듯이
찾아와 어김 없이
어림없는 꿈을 꿨어
We loved
사랑했어 널 마지막처럼
You loved
Like 제일 행복한 여자처럼
Ah loved
널 바보처럼 너무도 깊게
Yeah we loved
끝이란 걸 믿을 수 없어
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Loved you like a fool
Loved me like a jewel
Loved you like a fool
We loved
사랑했어 널 마지막처럼
You loved
Like 제일 행복한 여자처럼
Ah loved
널 바보처럼 너무도 깊게
Yeah we loved
끝이란 걸 믿을 수 없어
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Loved you like a fool
Loved me like a jewel
Loved you like a fool
The song "Loved" by Wonder Girls speaks about a past relationship that went wrong. The singer loved her partner so completely, "like a fool." She thought it was understood that there was a "rule" in love that everyone knew, and that rule was to love with pure honesty and full commitment. The singer even believed that her love was learned through words, not actions, and that she didn't need any technique to show her love. However, she was being foolish, as she learned only lies from that story. The singer knew that her partner's love was fading, but she refused to believe it because the thought was too devastating. She cherished their loving moments so much that she just wanted to be delusional about them. The last verse speaks of regret and confusion at the breakup and the awkwardness of still feeling love.
