K-pop group Wonder Girls will be hitting Japan with their album titled “Nobody for Everybody” on July 25, Oricon reported Thursday.
The Japanese version of their hit song “Nobody” is expected to be highlighted as their debut song.
“In Korea the Wonder Girls are at a stage where they have reached their peak, and now we are ready for a bigger challenge,” Park Jin-young, CEO of the group’s label JYP Entertainment, stated.
“We are very excited to meet our Japanese fans,” said Sohee, a member of the group. “We are working very hard to show Japan our best.”
The Wonder Girls bedazzled their audience in Korea back in 2007 with the spunky dance moves of their hit “Tell Me.” A “Tell Me Syndrome” swept over their fans, with their addictive music video gaining over a hundred million views on Youtube.
Since then, they have steadily made efforts to enter the international stage, starting with their debut in the United States in 2008.
The girls managed to rank 76th on the Billboard Hot 100, the highest ranking for a Korean artist.

원더걸스 7월 日 데뷔, 어떤 컨셉이길래?
인기 걸그룹 원더걸스가 오는 7월 25일 대표곡 ‘노바디’의 일본어 버전을 수록한 앨범 ‘노바디 포 에브리바디(Nobody For Everybody)’을 선보이며 일본에 데뷔한다고 오리콘 뉴스가 목요일 전했다.
원더걸스의 프로듀서 박진영은 “한국에서는 더 이상 올라갈 수 없을 정도의 위치에 있다. 이제는 더 큰 도전을 하고 싶었다”고 일본 진출을 설명했다.
원더걸스 멤버 안소희는 “하루 빨리 일본 팬들을 만나고 싶다. 더 좋은 모습을 보여드릴 수 있도록 노력하겠다”며 각오를 밝혔다.
오리콘은 원더걸스의 2007년 히트곡 ‘텔미(Tell Me)’가 유튜브에서 1억 번이 넘는 재생수를 기록하여 ‘텔미 신드롬’을 불러일으켰다고 소개하면서 한국인 가수로 처음 빌보드차트에 76위라는 기록을 세운 그룹으로 격찬하기도 했다.
한편, 원더걸스는 이미 4월부터 일본에서 화장품 모델로 발탁돼 TV 광고에 출연하는 등 데뷔 전부터 인지도를 높이고 있다.
