Wondergirls are back with a new look and a new member

0906 wondergirls

What is JYP doing to the Wondergirls? First it was the skimpy school uniforms and now this sexy 80s get-up? Why does he feel the need to sexualize EVERYTHING? Yeah, yeah sex sells, but making 15 year old girls dress up as hookers off the street is unacceptable.

These girls are still in transition mode as their newest but oldest member, Yoobin (19) joined after Hyun-ah’s departure. Yoobin was a JYP trainee for more than 2 years and her specialty is hip-hop. Although she’s now the oldest member, Sun Ye (18) will remain as the leader of the group, since she’s been there the longest.

Wondergirls’ first album “The Wonder Years” is already available online and their title song “Tell me” was produced by JYP.

Pop in:
Wave goodbye to Hyun-ah

    Wondergirls…oh they make you wonder alright…I think they’re going for the same look as Bada-sshi. Plus, the clothes that these er…stylists o.0 put on these young-ins are too revealing for their ages.

    As for Wondergirls, what’s going to happen to the albums that Hyun-Ah sang in? Re-record or voice-dub or never to perform them again? As for the new member, Yoo Bin, I thought she was suppose to debut with Good Entertainment’s girl band group? (which included the 2 girl finalists from Battle Shinhwa?)

    They all look like ajummas except for Yoobin.
    She kinda looks pretty!

    Uhm…excuse me? All the old ladies and gentleman here? This out fit is soooo normal. They’re 15-19. At that age, this is normal. Mini skirt is normal. Everybody now wears it! *look outside the window* Yep! I see 15 years old girls wearing hot pants. Time has changed people. Try to accept it.

    Anyway, they’re wearing tights. Nowadays everybody do mini and tights. If you don’t believe me, try to look outside your cave sometimes. Unless, you live in super conservative area of the world that even showing wrist isn’t acceptable *rolls eyes*

    And in some parts of the world, retro is back in glam. Colorful tight pants and tacky patterned shirt is EVERYWHERE. Stop being delusional.

    I’m not encouraging sexy outfit for teens or anything, but some people are getting a bit out of line.

    Btw, the hair kills. *take scissor to cut them off*

    Yoobin is the only normal one there lol…I like her look. She’s probalby going to end up being my favorite member. I loved the skirt she wore.

    Now the other girls look like the thrift store threw up all over them….

  5. 5 Yuri September 8, 2007 at 3:40 am

    I just finished watching the comeback….Yoobin is really good. I think i like her a little bit more then hyunah.

  6. 6 Jane. September 8, 2007 at 4:02 am

    Oh and does anyone else think that the new girl looks like Kim Ok Bin? Strangely, she reminds me of her.

    popseoul fan – just cause they had some surgery i’m not supposed to like them?? what they do to their face and body is their business.

    the wonder girls have had surgery?? i wasn’t aware of that… but either way that’s not going to stop me from liking them. what they do to themselves doesn’t change the music for me

  8. 8 jnyarcalas September 8, 2007 at 5:54 am

    I don’t like the clothes that they are wearing though.

  9. 9 Sarah September 8, 2007 at 7:47 am

    These aren’t very sexual. I’ve seen much worse from girls their age. In fact, these outfits they are wearing aren’t even sexual. Just hideous and catastrophic.

  10. 10 Leigh September 8, 2007 at 8:24 am

    WTH, one of the most unattractive celebrities I have ever seen.

  11. 11 reina September 8, 2007 at 10:31 am

    OMG whats happening to the kpop

  12. 12 blu3oc34n September 8, 2007 at 11:24 am

  13. 13 merriwether September 8, 2007 at 11:38 am

    I’m still horrified by what they wear and the ages they are.

  14. 14 ********lil girls******** September 8, 2007 at 12:31 pm

  15. 15 NingNing September 8, 2007 at 1:59 pm

  17. 17 suzana September 9, 2007 at 3:10 am

  18. 18 meme September 9, 2007 at 5:31 pm

    OMG 80’s look??? first it was Bada and now them???? OMFG!!! lmao…I really hate the 80’s look on them…
    and about Yoobin…she looks good…

  19. 19 YO September 9, 2007 at 10:54 pm

    Maybe it sucks if you’re a chick or a gay dude but if you’re straight then nobody gives a shit about petty moral objections. Honestly.

    And if you think they’re ugly, you obviously haven’t stepped outside and looked at the general population in a good while, I suggest you look into that.

    Though i’m sure people here will say they’re ugly anyway because obviously they all date or look like supermodels and drive Ferrari’s to work. Well, wherever they go, since i’m sure most of their haters aren’t even old enough to have a real job.

    For a new take on the Wonder Girls, take a look at this – I think they’re 80’s fabulous!

  21. 21 Klyde September 15, 2007 at 4:42 am

    It’s pretty obvious that normal people will always bickers about celebrities. Why? Celebs are famous and they are pretty & cute unlike normal people!!

  22. 22 Gwen September 15, 2007 at 12:45 pm

    They look so old.

  23. 23 Jacinnia Gardner September 16, 2007 at 6:05 am

    Disco is dead…and they killed it.

  24. 24 bonbon September 16, 2007 at 11:18 pm

    i miss Hyun Ah and Yoobin doesn’t cut it for me…
    her rap sucks and she doesn’t match with the rest of the girls in 80’s garb, albeit the embarrassing-ness of the outfits, and plus when they’re all smiles she’s focusing on looking sexy and cool…it’s like she’s a solo singer amongst a girl group

  25. 25 blh October 16, 2007 at 9:27 pm

    *yawn*

    eh.

    their outfits make their faces look uglier =.=;

  26. 26 tonia November 17, 2007 at 12:20 pm

    hmmmmm….,lots of comments from u guys!,well..all i wanted to say is, if u don’t like them..,obviously was that an insecurities? because those people who leaves such negative comments here, were obviously so insecure from these girls..lol!

  27. 27 crystal199187 January 10, 2008 at 8:39 pm

    yeah…i hate their new look…
    yoobin is de prettiest…
    among de 5 of them,i onli like Yoobin n Sun Ye…

  28. 28 irees January 25, 2008 at 7:37 am

    hmm… obviously, all of you guys were all wrong because look where they’re at now. and personally, i definitely do not think they look like hookers. i think the whole 80s look is pretty sweet and retro. and really, why are you guys complaining about short skirts and whatnot? just look outside your window, and you’ll see the same… probably worse.

  29. 29 alice February 18, 2008 at 8:20 pm

    you are lovely girl

  30. 30 ELFrescuee March 16, 2008 at 8:37 am

    I HAVE TO AGREE W/ PJY BEING A COPYCAT.

    but yubin’s friggin awesome!
    the other girl’s clothes r… T.T

  31. 31 blahgooglygoo June 9, 2009 at 3:59 pm

    I think they’re style’s pretty cool. Maybe not all of them would be something I would prefer, but just because it’s different doesn’t mean it’s hideous. There’s much much worse. Have you seen what Korean GUYS wear? ugh x[ and the concerts that Korean guys put on. THOSE have whores. These aren't so bad, they're pretty cute. I love the Wonder Girls and Yoobin! =] They’re all really amazing and fantastic. And by the way… 2 years later, you guys were wrong. All the old fashion from the 60s-90s are really influential to a lot of the clothes today =\
