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).

꿈만 같아서 나 내 자신을 자꾸 꼬집어봐 너무나 좋아
니가 날 혹시 안 좋아할까봐 혼자 얼마나 애태운지 몰라
그런데 니가 날 사랑한다니 어머나 다시 한번 말해봐
Tell me tell me tell tell tell tell tell tell me

The lyrics of the Chinese version of the Wonder Girls' song "Tell me" express the excitement and uncertainty of falling in love for the first time. The singer expresses disbelief that the person they like could possibly like them back, and the surreal feeling of being so enamored with someone that it feels like a dream. They fear rejection and confess that they have been waiting for the other person for a long time, unsure if their feelings are reciprocated. But then the other person confesses their love, and the singer is overcome with joy and relief. They beg the other person to keep telling them that they are loved, to convince them that it's not just a dream.
Overall, the lyrics capture the rollercoaster of emotions that come with the uncertainty of new love. The singer vacillates between doubt and elation, expressing their apprehensiveness but also their deep desire for reassurance and validation. The repetition of "Tell me" throughout the song emphasizes the importance of communication and honesty in a relationship.

So cute, wonder-girls. They are very good at singing, dancing and speaking English, Japanese and Chinese, not to mention Korean. From now, I am a fan of wonder-girls.

Japanese quite often uses very simple characters, and uses lots of 'i' 'o' 'w' 'wa' 'ga' sounds. Korean doesn't look similar to Chinese or Japanese, it's a synthetic language and in written in so-called 'boxes', it uses lots of ah, eh, oh, u, i, eu and oo sounds, you'll also hear quite a few 'bwa' sounds.
