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 ↴
어쩌면 좋아, 너무나 좋아
꿈만 같아서 나 내 자신을
자꾸 꼬집어 봐, 너무나 좋아
니가 날 혹시 안 좋아할까 봐
혼자 얼마나 애태운지 몰라
그런데 니가 날 사랑한다니
다시 한번 말해봐
Tell me, tell me
Te-te-te-te-te-tell me
나를 사랑한다고, 날 기다려왔다고
Tell me, tell me
Te-te-te-te-te-tell me
내가 필요하다 말해, 말해줘요
Tell me, tell me
Te-te-te-te-te-tell me
자꾸만 듣고 싶어, 계속 내게 말해줘
Tell me, tell me
Te-te-te-te-te-tell me
꿈이 아니라고 말해, 말해줘요
어쩜 내 가슴이 이렇게 뛰니?
가슴이 정말 터질 것 같아
니가 날 볼 때면 전기에 감전된
사람처럼 전기가 올라
얼마나 오래 기다린지 몰라
얼마나 오래 꿈꿨는지 몰라
그런데 니가 날 사랑한다니
어머나

(Tell me, tell me)
The lyrics to Wonder Girls's song "Tell me" express the excitement and uncertainty of falling in love. The singer expresses how they didn't know that the other person would like them back and how they feel like they need to constantly pinch themselves to make sure it's real. They worry about the possibility of rejection but are overjoyed when they find out the other person loves them back. The chorus is a plea for affirmation and reassurance from the other person, asking them to tell the singer that they love them and have been waiting for them.
The use of repetitive phrases and catchy melodies in the song makes it a popular dance track. The upbeat tempo and joyful tone of the song make it an anthem for young love. The use of English phrases like "tell me" and "I know you got this" make the song appeal to an international audience.

너도 날 좋아할 줄은 몰랐어
I never knew that you would like me
어쩌면 좋아, 너무나 좋아
Maybe you like me, really like me
꿈만 같아서 나 내 자신을
It feels like a dream, I keep pinching myself
자꾸 꼬집어 봐, 너무나 좋아
I keep pinching myself because it's so great
니가 날 혹시 안 좋아할까 봐
I'm afraid you might not like me
혼자 얼마나 애태운지 몰라
I don't know how much it would hurt to be alone
그런데 니가 날 사랑한다니
But you say you love me
어머나 다시 한번 말해봐
Oh my, say it once more
Tell me, tell me Te-te-te-te-te-tell me

어쩜 내 가슴이 이렇게 뛰니?
Why is my heart beating so fast?
가슴이 정말 터질 것 같아
It feels like my heart is going to burst
니가 날 볼 때면 전기에 감전된
When you see me, it's like getting an electric shock
사람처럼 전기가 올라
Electricity flows through me like it does to a person
Slay to the moon I know you got thi-thi-this
Slay to the moon, I know you got this
Tell me, tell me, tell me you want me, want me, want me, too
Tell me, tell me, tell me that you want me, want me, want me, too
Tell me, tell me, tell me you love me too, love me too
Tell me, tell me, tell me that you love me too, love me too

WHY ARE YOU HERE?
@maddiej2165
Fun fact: Wonder Girls hated this song so much that they actually begged JYP not to release it. Imagine if JYP agreed then this legendary masterpiece wouldn’t be here
@rachelcookie321
Well I understand, they probably found it incredibly annoying after having to listen to it hundreds of times while practicing
@IFunMaker
They can be proud still one of the best k pop Song for me
@avocadose5696
IM GLAD JYP POST IT this is a masterpiece
