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.

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).
One Black Night
Wonder Girls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
이미 늦었어
잔에 입을 가져간 순간
검은 독이 온몸에
퍼져 가고 있어
빨라진 심장 소리
돌이킬 수 없어
now I'm gonna lose my mind
One black night
어둠이 모든 걸 삼켜 버린 사이
You and I
서로가 세상의 전부가 돼
Take me far far
far away 날 데려가 줘
Lets run run
run away 더 숨이 차오르게
검게 물들여 아침이 우릴
찾지 못하게
One black night
getting dark dirty naughty
We gone wild we gone wild
o o out of control
One black night
getting dark dirty naughty
We rock it roll it
swing it drop it take it
blow it shake it, shot
입술은 다 번지고
모든 게 제자리를 잃어
점점 가까워져
더는 견딜 수 없어
전부 느껴져
작은 떨림 외로움까지
Let me touch you there
전부 지워줄게
One black night
어둠이 모든 걸 삼켜 버린 사이
You and I
서로가 세상의 전부가 돼
Take me far far
far away 날 데려가 줘
Lets run run
run away 더 숨이 차오르게
검게 물들여 아침이 우릴
찾지 못하게
Let me touch you there
Let me touch you there
Let me touch you there
One black night
getting dark dirty naughty
We gone wild we gone wild
o o out of control
One black night
getting dark dirty naughty
We rock it roll it
swing it drop it take it
blow it shake it, shot
One black night
어둠이 모든 걸 삼켜 버린 사이
You and I
서로가 세상의 전부가 돼
Take me far far
far away 날 데려가 줘
Lets run run
run away 더 숨이 차오르게
검게 물들여 아침이 우릴
찾지 못하게
One black night
getting dark dirty naughty
We gone wild we gone wild
o o out of control
One black night
getting dark dirty naughty
We rock it roll it
swing it drop it take it
blow it shake it, shot
