JYP did it again. He successfully created another “national” dance with Wondergirls’ relatively simple yet catchy “Tell Me” dance. The “Tell Me” virus has infected the entire nation with students, policemen, military personnels and even stars proudly showing off their own version of the Tell Me dance. I’m yet to uncover the special addictive power of this song, but check out how this virus has infected a once perfectly sane nation.
Pop in:
Big Bang and Wondergirls’ special stage on Music Bank
Wondergirls’ mentor, JYP shows us how its done
Wondergirls were in a car accident
LOL I love the song, but I really don’t get the dance addiction thing either XD All my friends wanna learn it, and I’m about the only one neutral towards it ^^;;
LOL hahaha xD I love this song, but I don’t think I’m talented enough to dance to this addictive song. I’ve tried but well… it’s horrible!!! ^^’
it’s a really addicting song
haha love the song, i actually hated it when i first heard it but its soo addictive n catchy. Hehe i wanna learn the dance too! i duno what it is but the dance just makes me wanna get up n dance.
What a coincidence. I click on “Tell Me” on my iTUNES and POPSEOUL! loads at the exact same time XD
It’s addictive as anything if you ask me and I find myself wanting to learn the dance too. People at my school are really obsessed with WG lately also.
yea, the song is very catchy.
I’m an adult and I enjoy it.
I love the guy in pink and black pants. He’s freaking flexible and takes his dancing so seriously. he’s like doing a minor striptease for us. LOVE IT>
The police officers are absolutely fantastic.
lmao
i dont know why, its just so addictive!!
I don’t know why but I love this song and think their dance is cool…and the guys look good doing the dance too…except for the crazy lookin ones…lol. I never paid attention to them until this song.
LOL. BRAIN AND HIS PLANS.
I’m sooo agree with this post title.
I can relate.
I even find myself doing the dance while I’m listening to Big Bang.
I am obsessed with Wonder Girls.
lmao. you guys should see them performing at HanYang University.
The audience was roaring like mad.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUtkHRic-50
and 90% were guys. awkward, huh?
It IS addictive!!
I love the dance too..XD
that was HILARIOUS!
the guy in pink cracked me up…seeing a bunch of grown men doing the dance and being so serious about it was just too funny!
the more i hear this song the more it grows on me…and since the only part i understand is the chorus when they repeat “tell me” three times, that part always gets stuck in my hear after hearing the song, DAMMIT! lol
tell me is truly like a virus. my lil brother sings it too and he hates korean music
tell me is everywhere and it’s so addictive
It surprised me why they didn’t add heechul to the videoclip. He knows this dance too! XD
I think the dance isn’t as hard to do and people love catchy tunes with easy dances they can learn by themselves.
Kind of like Soulja boy here in the US -_-
LMAO! the only parts that got to me was the rapping.. and the “ahhhhhhhhhh~” high pitch yelling/singing towards the end hahaha!
if you guys watched it through you’ll see what imtalking about ahhaa -i watch for the entertainment of it; i dont like the song ;dance moves yes.
start watching *when yoobin start rapping.. it shows…. =]
LMAO….JYP does it again…the song and dance is very addictive.
“The 80s dance was very cheesy, –>the song wasn’t catchy<– and Yoobin’s rap segment did not flow with the rest of the song. I hate to be saying this, but their first single Irony was much better than this 80s reenactment. Did Wondergirls performance impress you?”

LOL
ewwwww i think this dance is so grooossss!! ><
its like, waaay too much snakey, wormy, wavey body rolling movements and hip thrusting and ewwwwwwwwwww T_____T
I have to give JYP the credit for this so-called virus, don’t you agree?
After all, he was the first one to do the TELL ME dance video.
BTW, the reasons why there are so many videos of people dancing to Tell Me is
1. The dance is easy enough for people to follow.
2. It’s hella fun to do it!
3. Wonder Girls are having a video contest of who can dance Tell Me the best. The 5 winners will get a dinner date with WG. That’s why the parodies are springing up like daisies.
it is freaking addictive… i’m no fan of the wonder girls, but that song and dance just get stuck in my head. i guess it’s true that simple and repetitive tunes/steps get stuck in your head easily… =/
I’m sure that there will be bunch of people who watch this UCC and shake their body getting into the “Tell me” rhythm tonight. At least one.
hahaha omg that song is very cute and catchy, even though wondergirls kinda stink
it’s like that Gimme more song from britney, can’t get it out of my head LOL!
and gosh wow, some of those ppl in the video sure can dance! i LOLed at JYP’s dancing again hahaha, he really does look like a freaking gorilla.
!!!
I think I just figured out the reason behind having these big groups!! When they dance or do anything it becomes hypnotic and makes you want to follow along!
JYP really is a master mind. o_o
a lot harder than soulja boy :l
Hmm. Kind of like the Haruhi dance/Haruhism except it’s purposefully instigated to attract more publicity and popularity. Good ploy by Mr. 80s Clearpants.
I love their Irony song, this new one is just huge and I don’t know why. Its alright but Irony and I wanna are my WG jams.
i actually really don’t like the song. it’s like orgasm-y techno-y, but i really like the part where the girl actually sings tell me in korean, and i really like the dance. i think its cute for a bunch of 11/17 year old girls to do.
hahah
cool. i like it!
Curses! I just caught the virus.
they owe it to the producer of this song because quite frankly…they CANNOT sing…especially that one with the face like a 10 year old kid. good marketing i swear…it HURTS everytime big mama loses #1 to wondergirls…cringe
I just watched that video.. than one of their actual performance of the song and dance..
My verdict.. I like the dance in that it is easily - or seems to be - improved/improvised when people (cue schoolgirls and police) change it up and make it look pretty fun.
It looks like a lot of fun and who knows.. I may be the next victim haha but no not the exact way that those girls dance it.. nah uh
I can’t say that I particularly like the song either >< all I understand are the.. “Tell Me”s repeated throughout..
Awesome video posted - thanks ^^
I LOL’d so hard! Kind of creepy too.
Tell Me wasn’t so catchy at first, but after awhile, it sticks to your head like sugar glue.
Ok, that’s super glue. See what that song did to me?
LOL! funnyyy… this song isnt even that good in terms of vocals.. but it IS catchy.. XD hahahaha the classroom with the 4 girls is so funny cuhs their whole class participated.. and the policemen are funny too.. [=
haha i wonder who would have time to make this.. xD
the bit with a bunch of high school guys before 1.59 cracks me up XDDD whoo! sexy back ahahaha… gorilla jyp = =”
I lied.
It’s addictive.. that “pa pa pa pa pa Tell Me” part is just.. er just the ‘pa pa pa pa pa’ parts get stuuuck in your head!
haha..this is so funny many people imitate them..but its so cute to watch..LOL..so kawaii!!
the song, the dance moves, the wonder girls, the video of everyone dancing - kinda cute, in a creepy bubblegum-pop sort of way (the members of the group are really young right?)…no wonder your whole country’s addicted…the guy in pink really made me laugh (he can bust a move though!)…^_^
Tell me tell me t t t t t tell me & oh moh nah! This song is so much fun and addictive heheh ^^
hahahahah this is a fun song, i love it.
Haha yea its a very catchy song
wat were the other “national dances” created?? lol
i love tell me..
this song is very addicting…^^
it’s the type of tune that gets stuck in your head… wayyyyy too easily. and the dance is simple enough for ppl to follow to..
tell me tell me te-te-te-te-te-tell me…
lol somehow the guys look sissy with those dancesteps
LOL. I remember when everyone was dissing ‘Tell Me’ saying it wasn’t as good as ‘Irony’.
WTF? Irony was lame as hell. ‘Tell me’ isn’t Grammy worthy but it sure as hell is catchy.
Kinda sick of it now though.
hahah
i caught the virus!
i noe how to dance it
LOL I’m infected too, I love the song
i don ‘t like the song… since they sang it with big bang on music bank…. i don’t know why… i think its annoying…
Just like Grace had said.
The tell me dance is the popular dance now of Korea
just like Soulja Boy is popular here in the states.
But I have to admit.
I just love WonderGirls Too much not to learn the dance.
Learned it a few days ago and im lovin it!
And it is very addicting.
I think ill teach my friends…
lol. that was hilarious.
Hahaha, the song is really catchy.
The whole dance addiction situation is like a lot of people with Soulja Boy’s dance.
I really do not like the song but the video was fun to watch.
this is really good. shakin booty…
it was that addictive at first but it should better and better each time
The song and lyrics are so CLICHE, but once I heard it…..it got contagious. I started singing after I was finished watching the MV….then I see your post and start singing it again. I want this song to go away! Out of my head!
The entire video was hilarious, until whoever made the video used Luciano Pavarotti. For me, that was an insult to his memory.
ahah even the people who don’t like the song have it stuck in their head
Ashamed as I am to admit it, but YES I too like to dance to WG’s “Tell me.”
YES, I kinda got the dance down.
And NO I’m not gay! Haha.
the guys are better than the girls at dancing.
omg, that should be their official music video! i would watch that! it’s more entertaining then them. lol.
lol that video is frightening. haha the song and dance is just.. addictive. it reminds me of a fitness workout video.
what?? this song and the dance are not addictive at all. geez, but of course, what more could i expect of jyp? he always copies off american artist. during his solo career, it was MJ, now it’s usher, beyonce, britney… and this crap song is ridiculous.
hahahah. korea is so super freaky that way. keke.
lol at those gay guy in hot pants…. wtf!! but i do love the song, plus it helps that one of the girls looks like soo jin from sugar
This song sounded terrible when I first heard it and it still does now.
Arghz, what in the world are people thinking?!
Good song, weird/hard dance to follow.
Okay…what’s so special about the dance? I just see a lot of swing this way…swing that way…etc.
LOL EXACTLY. the other day i was youtube-ing ‘tell me’ for their song… and i saw a whole lot of these people dancing to the song. and there was this [cute] fat korean kid lip syncing to it. Lol i thot he was dancing to it only.. when he started to lip sync i was like.. o_O …. XD
haha
LOL I never liked this song but it;s like a drug XD LOL
It’s very addicting! Like out of nowhere I start singing “Tell me tell me..” O________________o
lol I saw that video XD lol love those police dudes XD
I nearly peed when Jay-Z does Yoo-bin’s part. I gotta say though Popseoul - Tell Me has infected me too. My bf and I are always singing it.
I love the dance
but I hate that song!!
hahaha I Love the WG and love this clip. hahaha
LOL! ahaha the clip is funny.
i guess you won’t know what’s so addictive about it unless you try the dancing yourself. i think its just for pure fun, heck it looks fun in the clip!
the song is catchy and the dance moves are relatively easy and fun to follow, i know if i knew the dance moves i’d be one of those people dancing along haha
LOL , when i first saw the mv of this i found this song weird, but gradually the song got stuck in my head .
and so did the dance moves ==’
haha then , i found this video of them performing live ..
and i tried copying the dance moves ..
they didnt turn out right >.>
but everytime i hear that song ..
i start lypsynching and dancing to it ><”
and my friends are like LOL .
JYP really knows hot to make a hit, huh?!
That’s good for Wonder Girls.
ahahahah…the vid was hilarious!!
but some of those ppl can really bust off some moves..
it look pretty easy to do..maybe i’ll try it..IN MY DREAMS!!hahahaha
hahaha the virus is very strong
a video of YounHa dancing “tell me” dance
http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=feaa5wu3uLE
Well the way the song “Tell Me” and dance, is just like the song “Crank That Soulja Boy” is in the US.
All catchy songs, and they aren’t going to go away anytime soon.
My sister who hates anything remotely close to k pop hummed it yesterday. And boy was I shocked !
omg. HAHAHAHAHA. the vids really made me luff like mad. lol. its real funny to see guys dance tis dance. lol. well maybe except suju and dbsk. LOL.
If you were to compare the Tell Me dance/ song to something, the plague would we appropriate. They’re both annoying, and stupid. Wonder Girls cannot sing, the dances are stupid and there are just too many ‘cutesy’ girl groups these days… O_o
It’s so true!! Even in the Philippines…. It’s spreading! infecting almost everyone
((o_o))… Tell Me rules!!!! and rox!
