[2008 MKMF] Wondergirls win “song of the year’

Wondergirls_MKMF_081116 (2)

JYP must be so proud.

The dancing gorilla’s cash cows, the Wondergirls picked up the “Song of the Year” Award for their hit, “Nobody” at the 2008 Mnet KM Music Festival (MKMF) on November 15th. Although we predicted that Rain would perform with the Wondergirls in their tango and disco version of the hit, “Nobody,” he didn’t. Instead, 2PM stepped in as tango partners…and later flashed the audience with some chicken breasts a la Rain.

    I must admit. The perf was pretty nice. They all looked pretty & deserve the award. -_-

    omg they lip synch. they suck big time lol

  4. 4 YeEunfan November 17, 2008 at 7:10 am

    Maybe I’m crazy but I don’t believe they lip synched. At the chorus maybe but not the rest. You can hear them breathing and at the beginning of Yoobin’s rap she kind of squeaked which I believe wouldn’t have happened if they were lip synching.

    Oh my goodness, celebs are crying from left to right. Shinee cried, DBSK’s Max cried, and now the Wondergirls? Well, I suppose winning an award is a very moving thing… Am happy for all the winners.

    I AM SO EFFING PROUD OF THEM. Whaa, the girls have come so far from where they started! Who would have thought that those five girls from that infectious “Tell Me” video would have lost one, gained another and then made it this far?
    As we say in America, you go girls!

    great performance but why lip sync? i’ve never seen them lip sync before and even though they use to mess up in the begining they have improved in their live performances so why lip sync???
    that is my only problem. 2pm rocked it. they used to mess up on their stunts a lot but here they shined. great job from the jyp crew

    awesome performance… love 2pm…..

  10. 10 oii November 17, 2008 at 11:26 am

    LOVE YEEUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. 11 otto November 17, 2008 at 12:02 pm

    of course congrats to JYP!
    it’s all his “vision”. don’t for a moment think WG with all their busy schedule are thinking up their own image, entire different styles for each performance, song or video. and the way too complicated choreography! they’re great troupers to practice and carry out the ideas tho.

  12. 12 wdf November 17, 2008 at 12:24 pm

    good job wg~~~
    best female group in korea ^^

  13. 13 suga November 17, 2008 at 1:17 pm

    sohee has that blowfish expression almost in everypic lol

  14. 14 .nodame. November 17, 2008 at 1:31 pm

    I hope they release the tango version as a studio mp3, because the regular version of Nobody was kind of bland for my taste, and I normally like thier work :/

    But anypoo, congrats to them! XD They were so rocking those outfits.

  15. 15 helena November 17, 2008 at 1:46 pm

    wow their performance was fantastic!! ^^ love the remixes =)

    ^someone just gotta bring the hate huh?

  19. 19 dhas November 18, 2008 at 2:41 am

    awesome performance wonder girls!! congrats for earing the TOP award of the night!!

  20. 20 Raise Awareness November 18, 2008 at 2:57 am

    congrats to WG! I’m glad to hear they won, but I expected it :P

  21. 21 jamin November 18, 2008 at 9:40 am

    The tango was the lamest performance by the wondergirls ever! Can’t believe they won best song too! That’s just an insult to the true artists!

  22. 22 Noodle November 19, 2008 at 8:38 am

    What insult?? It isn’t easy to come up and promote something as catchy and good as their releases this year. Some songs are just catchy. Not good. Some songs are good but no one else can sing them. So yeah. They deserve the song of the year award. Congratulations!

  23. 23 noob November 19, 2008 at 9:05 am

    Wondergirls have been slowly, but surely gaining my attention since they first debuted. I’m glad to see them improving so well. So congratulations to the girls for an awesome year once again!

  24. 24 S November 19, 2008 at 9:05 am

    They lip-synced. What’s the big deal? The whole point of the performance was the dance anyway. You can tell when artists lip-sync because they aren’t holding a mic, but are wearing that headset thing. It doesn’t sound live anyhow. There’s no way that they could’ve hit those notes so well while dancing so hard (as the Tell Me performances have shown me in the past) unless they were lip syncing. ):
    Good dance though! I like the disco remix way more than the rainwhateveritwascalledslowboringballad version. :D

  25. 25 nikki November 20, 2008 at 5:08 am

    awwww i’m so proud of them~! my litle wonder girls are growing up to be super stars ^_^_^_^_^_^

    but on the same note, i’m so sad for them becuz i know why their crying, they know what jyp’s gonna say they should do together when they get back home for partying… poor girls ;_; dont cry yeun, this time its u, but next time jyp’ll rockit w/ sohee for sure! hang in there

  26. 26 jeosung-b November 21, 2008 at 2:14 am

    PLAYBACK???! damn…..
    congratulations

  27. 27 Fancy November 21, 2008 at 11:35 am

    TBH I think that song sucks. There were plenty of better songs to choose from for this award. And their matching outfits!… :/

  28. 28 Panda November 23, 2008 at 3:35 am

    Nobody !!! It’s such a nice sng !!! Proud of them !!!

  29. 29 sff November 25, 2008 at 11:04 am

    don’t deserve

  30. 30 geles November 25, 2008 at 1:04 pm

    I dun like them:)but i like their song nobody.strange?

  31. 31 maimai1987 November 26, 2008 at 12:21 pm

    aw gawd!! just love nobody! cant get enough of it!! but honestly and sad to say, most of them are not very good singers. uhm, they can sing, but not good enough. but they have the bods and moves, so, its okay.

  32. 32 kay November 28, 2008 at 3:41 am

    congratsz to JYP on creating this song.
    i gotta admit, it is a catchy song but theres
    really no lyrics.
    through the whole song, theres only like 2 lines
    which are the ones that sunmi sings, then sohee sings
    a line that is repetitive. then the rest is the chorus.
    hmmmmmm..i like themm but
    honestly i dont understand how they won
    this big award–
    &im tryin not to bash
    but i want them to change their dances
    and get rid of the 60’s concept.
    i feel they copoy dreamgirls ALOT.

  38. 40 sassy May 15, 2009 at 11:51 am

    woww this reminds me of when hyori and bi did a tango dance, doesn’t it?

  39. 41 Jess June 6, 2009 at 2:59 pm

    This is super late but I’m soooo happy they won!! Wonder Girls really does deserve it – not only did they literally take over the Korean music charts with their songs this year, but they are geniunely good examples of the success hard work, talent and friendliness can bring.

    Best of luck always, girls!!
