1. [+2,393, -70] If the Wonder Girls had never gone to America, it would've been the Wonder Girls generation for a few more years. And I don't think Sunye would've gotten married either.
2. [+2,293, -45] Wonder Girls' 'Tell Me', 'So Hot', and 'Nobody' were quite historical. It wasn't about which group had the stronger fandom because their songs were loved by men and women, everyone alike.
3. [+1,63, -98] I wonder how much BTS' composer is making. I wonder what it feels like to see the number in his bank account when it's time to get paid.
4. [+126, -6] Park Jin Young's amazing for taking a group of kids with not an ounce of musical talent in their bone and dominating the Korean music industry with them for years
5. [+102, -10] The Wonder Girls would've been the top of the top if Park Jin Youn had never fallen for that damned American disease~ what a shame;;
6. [+84, -7] People keep saying that WG failed after their American advancement but all the songs they released after that hit #1... it's just that 'Tell Me', 'So Hot', and 'Nobody' were such megahits that people thought their subsequent songs were flops just by comparison.
7. [+64, -3] Twice's current popularity couldn't even compare to the Wonder Girls back then..!
8. [+59, -3] Park Jin Young is amazing, I'll give him credit where it's due
9. [+45, -2] If you think about it, Park Jin Young and the Wonder Girls paved the road for K-Pop in America. Of course everyone looked down on WG then but they also debuted in an era where smartphones weren't a thing and YouTube wasn't that developed yet so it was basically impossible for Americans to come across their music. Now we have smartphones and YouTube and ways to communicate with people all around the world which makes K-Pop easier to access. But for WG's time, it was amazing of them to achieve the Billboard Hot 100 as the first Asian artists in 30 years.
10. [+45, -2] The 'Tell Me' craze will never be forgotten. It was a song that everyone knew.
