Nobody wants to pay to eat with the Wondergirls

Wondergirls_200712

Although it was reported that Dinner Date with the Wondergirls was auctioned off for approximately 20 million won, the winners of the bid forfeited their date because they did not want to cough up that much dough to eat with underaged girls. As a result, the organizer (auction.co.kr) scrambled other bidders last minute and collected only about 1.5 million won from four other people.

As expected, this dirty little secret is receiving minimum media coverage, similar to Ivy’s auction which also fizzled because the bidder walked away from the table with his sweet money.

So there you have it. Wondergirls is only worth 1.5 million won (approximately US$1,500) and Ivy zip.

  2. 2 socrahtease December 23, 2007 at 12:19 am

    No offense to them, but I actually found that really funny^^

  3. 3 meeh December 23, 2007 at 12:22 am

    hahahahaa… that’s intersting!

  4. 4 DEO December 23, 2007 at 12:28 am

    I guess older men really don’t want to spend time with underaged girls, especially if they aren’t getting anything out of it.

    As far as Ivy’s audition, I would walk away too since you’re paying to become her personal assistant and whatnot.

  5. 5 Blahblahbon December 23, 2007 at 12:29 am

    If you think that’s funny…it’s actually about 150 Dollars, not 1,500 dollars Popseoul.
    The wondergirls are even cheaper than you though, once again.
    let’s all laugh and point, together now~

  6. 6 Eve December 23, 2007 at 12:36 am

    um that’s not how an auction works….if you bid, you have to pay. That’s just stupid >.> Don’t bid if you don’t think that you’re going to do it. That’s the whole point.

  7. 7 Whatever December 23, 2007 at 12:47 am

    150 000 South Korean won = 159.15 U.S. dollars

    Thank you google.

    I actually feel sorta bad, it must be disappointing.

  8. 8 heyleadinglady December 23, 2007 at 12:53 am

    they must have come to their senses

  9. 9 popseoul December 23, 2007 at 12:54 am

    my bad - its actually 1.5 million won which equals to US$1,500

  10. 10 minjoo December 23, 2007 at 12:56 am

    Just like others said…

    No offense… but I started laughing when I saw the title of your post. xD

  11. 11 Yin December 23, 2007 at 1:16 am

    Soo. what was the point of the whole thing? O_O
    but i have to admit: LOL.

  12. 12 nileey December 23, 2007 at 1:28 am

    looks like the bidder finally came to his/her senses…

  13. 13 toocutedoggy December 23, 2007 at 2:15 am

    lol~

  14. 14 KanginsFutureGF December 23, 2007 at 2:17 am

    im so sorry, but this is hilarious.
    i feel bad for JYP and wondergirls.
    what would they think?
    but i dont know.
    once i read this, i burst out laughing.
    im such a bad person…
    :)

  15. 15 May December 23, 2007 at 2:20 am

    haha. so it IS young fanboys.

  16. 16 Dumpling December 23, 2007 at 2:40 am

    It makes you “wonder” about their fan base. I would assume it to be teen girls. In that case it would make more sense for some kid’s rich parents to bid for the dinner. Were they expecting grown men to bid for this?? Crazy.

  17. 17 tenretni December 23, 2007 at 2:43 am

    funniest thing ever!! i think its more resonable..plus there are just kids, and paying that much to eat with them is just too creepy …

  18. 18 xxcrazy_onexx December 23, 2007 at 2:48 am

    hmmm thats stupid. if u bid, u pay -_-;; when did backing out ever become an option?
    i feel bad for the girls….and the other people who would’ve ACTUALLY ate with them after bidding

  19. 19 Raye December 23, 2007 at 3:16 am

    lol awww

  20. 20 becker December 23, 2007 at 3:27 am

    They should have an agreement before people bid to prevent something like this from happening again.

    “If you bid and you don’t pay up, you automatically have to pay some penalty money… to prevent some people who tend to bid “for fun”. -_____- “

  21. 21 Cindel December 23, 2007 at 3:34 am

    WTF? Since when is backing out an option? Why did they even bother to bid?

  22. 22 superoshi December 23, 2007 at 3:42 am

    20 dollars won! here i am!

  23. 23 whatever~ December 23, 2007 at 3:45 am

    well, this sucks ¬¬ I agree with becker

  24. 24 Brina December 23, 2007 at 3:59 am

    Its stupid to begin with.

  25. 25 fan December 23, 2007 at 4:12 am

    it wasn’t stupid, more sad because it was for charity.

  26. 26 oh my~ December 23, 2007 at 4:22 am

    thats just downright embrassing…

  27. 27 BKJSuh December 23, 2007 at 5:17 am

    1 word.

    Boned.

  28. 28 Mac December 23, 2007 at 5:42 am

    Thats deep. I agree with what most people are saying. Its an auction and your not supposed be able to back out once you’ve won. What also makes it worse is that it was for charity. The winner could have brought some people with them-in all aid for charity. I feel bad for WG :(

  29. 29 Korean Ajusshi December 23, 2007 at 5:43 am

    I still give WG props for their charitable act. The bid for them was still better than nothing towards charities. Too bad that the bidders were too cheap to bid more for them.

  30. 30 DBSK’s GirlFan December 23, 2007 at 6:17 am

    Not only one pp back out, but all five of them back out.
    Ahahaahahahah!!!!!!!! No wonder the bid went sooo high. Maybe some of the member in the group did do the bidding to create the buzz for themselves.
    Now Tellllllllllllllllllllllll me!!!!!! Telllllllllllllllllllll me !!!!!!! Don’t try to keep “minimum media coverage”. Let’s TELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL MEEEEEEE

    So now each of them worth $300
    Ahahaahahah!!!!

  31. 31 Narae December 23, 2007 at 6:59 am

    That’s less money for charity…and that, people, ain’t funny!
    WonderGirls pride? Oh please, the girls are doing just fine. It’s not a bid that would determine their worthiness…don’t be stooopid!
    Those guys are down right idiotic for bidding and then backing out…sigh
    Like WonderGirls would sing: 바보!!!

  32. 32 for real December 23, 2007 at 8:11 am

    once again those ugly wondergirls…

  33. 33 Cassidy December 23, 2007 at 8:29 am

    Whoa, that’s kind of mean. But it makes more sense now, I guess. A dinner isn’t worth that much, no matter who it’s with.

  34. 34 joyce December 23, 2007 at 9:36 am

    i actually think there was something fishy going on..
    i mean.. the idea of people backing out in the last minute for an auction date/concert isnt really new

  35. 35 Silently December 23, 2007 at 9:45 am

    This is hilarious and they should take affense that im laughing at them. This is a huge reminder them that thier still kids not the hottest women in the world

  36. 36 madcool December 23, 2007 at 11:03 am

    the whole bidding thing was kind of shady in the first place. Whatev, WG hasn’t lost anything, at least give them credit for trying to help a cause.

  37. 37 junsufan December 23, 2007 at 11:07 am

    that’s so embarrassing.. U___U
    but kinda funny.. :p

  38. 38 polynasian December 23, 2007 at 11:17 am

    Well, wonder girls it is time for you gals to find dates your own age.

  39. 39 Ai December 23, 2007 at 11:22 am

    Oh well. I bet the winners are teenage boys since they can’t pay for the bid.

  40. 40 measuringsummer December 23, 2007 at 1:34 pm

    That equals to US$300 per girl! Cheap!

  41. 41 apple3_pi3 December 23, 2007 at 2:10 pm

    actually i agree with joyce..something fishy is going on,,lyk, all 5 of them dropping out?in the same time too…

  42. 42 VANA December 23, 2007 at 3:11 pm

    how is this funny when all that money could have gone to charity.

  43. 43 Dovey December 23, 2007 at 3:19 pm

    Oh, well…too bad.

  44. 44 Chantelle December 23, 2007 at 3:50 pm

    Aww I feel so sorry for them and…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    I’m sorry but that’s too funny. Maybe this was done deliberately to make them feel bad/ If not it was a colossal waste of people’s time.

  45. 45 ew December 23, 2007 at 4:42 pm

    why are they even bidding for the stars??? and when no one bids or thier worth is cheap, its soooo embrassing…
    like suju.. ivy…

    embarassing and funny..

  46. 46 ew December 23, 2007 at 4:44 pm

    they should bid on the stars things or stuffs… so it would not be too embarassing…

  47. 47 HL December 23, 2007 at 5:52 pm

    why the hell would someone bid and then back out? and for charity too. stupid. i like wg and i feel bad for them. celebs should auction off their stuff or something instead of themselves next time.

  48. 48 blinkable December 23, 2007 at 9:42 pm

    wow, this do happen~eh? it’s embarassing right? ><

  49. 49 kellz December 23, 2007 at 10:45 pm

    ouch!that’s gotta hurt..i really agree with ‘HL’

  50. 50 ShinhwaAndWG December 24, 2007 at 1:37 am

    Pff thats bull sh*t.
    I feel bad for them..

  51. 51 ShinhwaAndWG December 24, 2007 at 1:46 am

  54. 54 Dumpling December 24, 2007 at 4:07 am

    owned.

    i wouldn’t either. with that much money i could buy an xbox360, ps3, a 50 inch plasma 1080p hdtv, an awesome nikon professional camera and some awesome clothing.

  58. 58 Min A December 24, 2007 at 8:56 am

    who would want to pay so much money to have dinner with a bunch of girls…it just seems so wrong.

  59. 59 uhuh December 24, 2007 at 11:12 am

    lol i was wondering how they could be so expensive….but eh never mind lmao

  60. 60 Boo December 24, 2007 at 2:50 pm

    Oh poor wondergirl

    too young,that’s a reason T_T

  61. 61 monalisa December 24, 2007 at 6:58 pm

    Perhaps those bidders just wanted their 5-min of fame. If the 20million won was really for charity, they shouldn’t have set a price on the dinner date. People should not be compelled to pay a set amount for charity. They should just be encouraged to give whatever amount they so wish.

    Merry Christmas, popseoul and everyone!

  66. 66 penguin_x3 December 24, 2007 at 8:24 pm

    okay well first of all Wonder Girls is NOT a BAND they are a GIRL GROUP. a BAND is like a goup of people who use instruments and such and they have a leade singer like FT Island and a GROUP does the whole dancing and singing together bubblegum pop crap like WONDER GIRLS got it? well anyway, their probably the most popular girl group in Korea, you don’t hear much or at all about the other girl groups besides SNSD but seriusly, their 15 minutes of fame is about to end anyway day now. Its is funny that they backed out but hey, at least they got some money for charity instead of nothing like Ivy and Suju right?

  67. 67 apple3_pi3 December 24, 2007 at 10:28 pm

    WONDERGIRLS ARE GOING TO AMERICA?!?!?
    do they even have enuf fans there?
    they should come to hk XD

  68. 68 SuperAzn December 25, 2007 at 2:38 am

    Aww those pedos found out they could look but not touch and backed out!! hahahaha

    I guess the pervs didnt want to be found out.

  69. 69 DBSK’s GirlFan December 25, 2007 at 8:54 am

    @WHOEVER who decide to use my name:
    I wish your future daughter (If you ever have one), will be rape at age 7, commit succide but not success at age 13, have HTV at 17, and die at 19, just before she turn 20.
    I wish your future son will choke to death when you/your wife milk-feed him right after birth.
    I wish you WILL marry (that’s why you will have a child), but discover your spouse is a cheater, then that person took all your money and sleep with others (more than 2 at a same time) right on your bed.
    I wish you live a long life, but with diabete and isommia, immobilized and have heart attack five times a day.
    I wish your mom,dad,gramps will also live a long life, cuz they have to feed you each day and care for you for the rest of their life.
    And at the end, i wish you (you and your family member) all die at the same day so may you rejoice in the next world and repeat this process all over gain.
    That’s all i WISH for CHRISTMAS.

  71. 71 penguin_x3 December 25, 2007 at 4:39 pm

    damn dbsk girlfan you sound like one of those physco fans who goes after your idols mates because you can’t have them

  72. 72 Doggy Supreme December 25, 2007 at 7:10 pm

    Lol…

  73. 73 Doggy Supreme December 25, 2007 at 7:12 pm

    What a sh*t wish.

  74. 74 Tiffany December 25, 2007 at 10:15 pm

    That’s pretty funny, yet embarrassing.

    It will be pretty pathetic if that much money was spent on having a one time dinner experience with someone else (unless the person is super rich and is bidding to hang out with huge international stars like Madonna).

  75. 75 The Metropolitician December 26, 2007 at 9:57 am

    So? 300,000 apiece? Sounds about right – what you’d pay to go to a standard room salon. Although with 2차, it would make it slightly more expensive.

    What a bargain!

    ㅋㅋㅋ

  76. 76 irees January 22, 2008 at 6:36 am

    aww, that’s like $300 per girl. pretty lame. each of them’s worth an ipod. :( what a horny jerk. the auction shouldn’t be refundable!

  77. 77 puppie February 7, 2008 at 9:02 am

    you honestly have to ‘wonder’ who came up with the stupid idea, if they wanted to make good money for charity they should’ve thought of a better idea than dinner with 5 girls.. as if anyone would actually pay that. WG may be popular but they dont have many dedicated fans. Now its just been a whole waste of effort and time and a loss for charity.. good on ya ‘wonder’ girls =.=;
