Wondergirls “Nobody” fever has yet to cool down

wg_090610

At least in other parts of the world.

With the Wondergirls back in the motherland selling chicken, it seems that most traces of the “Nobody” craze died down with their departure to New York but in the Philippines it seems that it is crazier than ever.

With the infamous(?) CPDRC inmates, ASAP It Girls as well as Moy Moy, Pala Boy & RoadFill, it seems the Philippines still can’t get enough of the girls. The song is seeing a lot more airtime there now then it has since their departure a couple months ago.

Hmm, does this mean JYP will take advantage of this interest and take the girls over soon? Who knows, guess we’ll have to keep an eye on them just in case.

Check out the videos below.

      • 9 A Fellow Filipino June 27, 2009 at 2:27 am

        @NIXIE

        Please look up the meaning of infamous ;)
        Technically, they’re still famous.
        Just not in a good way…
        They’re notorious.

        and

        You’re giving us a bad name. Tsk.
        Take your uncivilized cursing and wrong grammar elsewhere.
        Thank you~

        (And bashing the song and the country that actually made it? lol)

  4. 10 gecko. June 12, 2009 at 9:53 am

    wow.
    why are there so many people bashing korean people now?
    aren’t korean people the ones that make foreigner’s oh-so-lovely kpop happen?
    goodness.

  5. 11 netizensrgay June 12, 2009 at 10:06 am

    why would he take them to the philippines? theres no money in it for them

  6. 15 kimeunna June 12, 2009 at 10:13 am

    actually,
    it’s not just the philippines,

    singapore is goin crazy bout it as well !! -.-

  7. 16 jose June 12, 2009 at 10:58 am

    the ASAP GIRLS probably dont even know the Wonder girls and just performed nobody to promote Boys Over Flowers.

    note: the IT girls aren’t singers they’re actresses.

    K-POP isn’t popular here in the Philippines but
    korean dramas are.
    2ne1 only got minor attention bcoz of DARA

    the moymoy palaboy vid is a parody

  8. 17 lynmen June 12, 2009 at 11:33 am

    I actually saw these vids in youtube a few days ago. I’m not suprised that POPSEOUL posted about this. I thought those vids were kinda funny, especially the SOP version. LOL. I laughed at those peeps who call themselves filipino and who are embarrassed or feel ashamed because of ‘HOW’ the song ‘nobody’ were portrayed in fil. national tv. I read other peeps comments in yt as well and it’s funny because some people just tend to over react regarding small matters. hahaha You can’t please everyone.

  9. 18 joia June 12, 2009 at 12:08 pm

    PEACE to all!

    let’s not fight over it!

    let’s just respect each other since each country has its own culture, beliefs and customs.

    let’s not fight whether who speak the correct or perfect English, the point is, English is a universal language and it is use for communication. So if somebody speaks English and you undestood it, then it’s better. Right?! It doesn’t need to be perfect!

    Even Americans (native speaker of this language)cannot speak perfectly with the correct grammar!

    And if other cultures has been introduced in our country, then it would be better because you are given an opportunity to learn their culture and even share ours!

  10. 19 NAJIHAH June 12, 2009 at 12:44 pm

    yeah.. Why do you guys fight on a worn out flip flop? Its not even a big issue like war or something!!! Lets just respect each others country..

  11. 20 koreanfan14 June 12, 2009 at 2:02 pm

    ok, dudes, the one who are dissin koreans and other countries, i mean seroiusly? wth. everyone show some respect. i dont get at all why you are fighting, because, like what some one sed up there, there are more important issues tthan english or the song nobody.so just chill, and anone who is disin anyone elses country is a fag. dont argue, your a fag. deal.

  12. 22 Emily June 12, 2009 at 2:26 pm

    Imitation is the best form of flattery. I must admit though that I laughed out loud when I saw ASAP’s version. Those girls couldn’t be bothered to memorize their lines and that horrible choreography? puahahhaha But whatever floats their boat, right?

  13. 23 flopseoul June 12, 2009 at 5:06 pm

    Ha ha ha ah. This is the most hilarious thing ever. Koreans accusing others of imitation. Wow…time for a dose of reality. Koreas entire history of the past 40 years is about copying everything japan and america do. There’s not a single original or creative element in kpop not directly copied from either the japanese or american pop scene. You ever put english in your freakin songs !

  14. 25 kimeunna June 12, 2009 at 5:11 pm

    flopseoul,
    shut up u dumb ass

  15. 26 kimeunna June 12, 2009 at 5:12 pm

    think before u type guys, THINK

  16. 27 flopseoul June 12, 2009 at 5:30 pm

    Well , it’s true and everyone knows it.

  17. 28 flopseoul June 12, 2009 at 5:42 pm

    This is why korea will always fail. You’re copying trends in the states. By the time you catch up and try and show us “look what we can do”we’ve already moved on and roll our eyes. Nobody like a fake and a wannabe poser after all.

    • 29 bigfan June 13, 2009 at 1:10 am

      WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM? KOREA IS AWESOME, YA STUPID OR SOMETHING, FLOPSEOUL? IF YOUR GONNA DISS KOREANS, DO IT ON A NON KOREAN WEBSITE OR DONT WRITE AT ALL. IF YOUR FROM AMERICA, YOU ARE SHAMEING EVERYONE ELSE WHO LIVES THEIR, INCLUDING ME. ASSHOLE.

  18. 30 jap-noypi June 12, 2009 at 7:03 pm

    For korean readers here, (if there’s
    even a korean here? Popseoul is made for international fans of kpop.)i doubt that koreans are the one who are insulting filipinos here, koreans have their own site for kpop(cyworld). Im sure that those who are insulting us are also Asians. Guys, i just want to ask apology for my fellow Filipinos who posted rude replies.

  19. 31 U.Bin June 12, 2009 at 9:49 pm

    come on guys, its just a song..
    look up on youtube, so many countries covered the nobody song or dance, also tell me, so hot and irony… :/
    also thailand, we know they love korean music, they also covered the dance etc, also viet singers sung the song again,

    if you dont like that thing then turn off your computer and your TV and go outside and meet your friends (if you have some..)

    thats such a simple thing, huh : d?

  20. 32 lol June 12, 2009 at 10:26 pm

    What the hell.

    You see, like 3 videos and already consider it as a craze?

    Go to the Philippines, and more than half of the country doesn’t really care about wonder girls or kpop in general. don’t be too ahead of yourselves.

    It’s common here to have parodies every now and then.

  21. 33 kurukuru June 12, 2009 at 11:05 pm

    chaka naman ang k-pop eh ang jologs pa ng wonder girls

    • 34 naman June 12, 2009 at 11:43 pm

      true… agree agree agree…. lol

      • 35 kapuzoo June 12, 2009 at 11:56 pm

        oo nga. kung wala pa nagpaplastic surgery, hay im sure mga mukhang tae yang pinagmamalaki nila lalo na yang si sohee na mukha namang autistic. si yoobin naman mukhang negritang baboy. dapat nga mainsulto ang mga It Girls kasi icompare ba naman sa mga panget eh ang gorgeous lang nina anne

        • 36 Kenley June 13, 2009 at 3:01 am

          You three(kurukuru, naman, kapuzoo) shouldn’t be here in the first place if you can’t appreciate KPOP. Hello, this is a blog for KPop, Kdrama and all that is Korean.

          Shut those racist comments ok? So what if It Girls are gorgeous? I know they are but Wonder Girls have waaaaaaaaaay more talent than them. They work so hard too. It Girls, no matter how gorgeous they are, didn’t give justice to the song. Well, what should I expect? Most perfs in ASAP are so damn mediocre anyway.

          Kung najojologan kau d2, e di wag kau magpnta d2. simple as that. Leave us Kpop fans be, especially us Filipino Kpop fans. People like you shouldn’t be here at all.

          P.S. I don’t see anything wrong with plastic surgery, unless when it is too much (which is always wrong with everything else). Those people who diss it probably can’t afford it.
          But I am not saying WG had plastic surgery. I really don’t know, and really don’t care if they had. Just love them

          • 37 momomooooo June 13, 2009 at 12:13 pm

            ^ Agreed. Seriously, I’m Filipino myself and I’m sick with others bashing Koreans or just Kpop in general when the blog is for anything k-related (well… almost).

            THANK YOU, KENLY, FOR BEING THE VOICE OF REASON HERE.

            kekeke~

          • 38 cheiri July 23, 2009 at 1:01 pm

            I agree with you to some extent. I’m a fan of KPop and I hate it when my fellow Filipinos become racist to the point of bashing and cursing people of different nationalities. However, didn’t you go too far by telling that most perfs in ASAP are so damn mediocre? I’m not telling you to like FPop because you’re a Filipino. Of course I think you know that ASAP is one of the venues of Filipino artists. Consequently, by implying mediocrity in ASAP is like telling that Filipino artists are mediocre. Shouldn’t you feel any shame on posting that in a non-Filipino site? Shouldn’t you just shout that out in a Filipino site?

            In addition to that, you should know that It Girls are not really singers. But, you should also know that It Girls are better than Wonder Girls. It Girls are very talented. They are great actresses who can really sing (maybe with the exception of Anne) and even dance. When you said they didn’t give justice to the song, were you aware that they just recorded and practiced for like a couple of days or so compared to Wonder Girls who most likely prepared for a month or so? I don’t like to compare It Girls with Wonder Girls, but you made me to. Also, I like KPop, but when I go to sites where Filipinos imply how they feel shameful of FPop, it makes me mad to the extent of wanting to criticize every trivial things concerning matter like this.

            • 39 Kenley July 24, 2009 at 3:39 am

              I don’t think what the It girls did was Fpop. For it to be Fpop it should be done by Filipino music artists (like Mocha Girls and others) and what they did was just sing someone else’s song, not their own.
              I disagree on what you said that It Girls are better than Wonder Girls. I think (and again this is MY opinion) that they rest too much on their looks when they perform, rather on the performance itself.
              And besides, Fpop here is not as strong as other countries’ Pop music industry. I don’t think there is even an FPop in our music industry.
              It is just my opinion that I think they did something mediocre. C’mon, most of the perfs in ASAP are lipsynch. They could have tried to at least do it live, or with some lyrics recorded. Or dance to the song.
              Anyways, we all have our opinions. And we are all entitled to it.
              I’m not bashing on the It Girls directly, just the performance, and other performances in ASAP. I know they can do so much better than those shown.

              • 40 cheiri July 30, 2009 at 12:03 pm

                I didn’t say that It girls’ “Nobody” performance is part of FPop. I was referring to ASAP performances as FPop, though you may not categorize most as such. Anyhow, I do respect your opinion, but be discreet about it especially when you’re not in a Filipno site. You’ve said too much that may degrade our almost dying music industry.

                FYI, most of the performances in ASAP are live. Only those not real singers like It girls do lipsync. I’ll relate Wonder Girls here again. Sorry, but I can’t help it. Have you seen and heard Wonder Girls sing live? With long period of practice, they can’t even sing any good. Thanks to music editing, we can appreciate their nice music.

        • 41 lol June 27, 2009 at 2:37 am

          negritang baboy?

      I’m wondering if you have anything to back that last statement up. :|

      Who’s (should be are the) Wondergirls? Are you serious? I’m sure you’d know since you’re on this website… ;)

    Ang corny nyo ahh.. yan lang eh.. dapat nga maging masaya pa kayo dahil ginagaya ung wondergirls, ibig sabihin sikat na sila dito. Tsaka, okay lang naman ung performance ng IT Girls ha, di naman sila mukhang slut.. Or sabi nga ni anne, “Yes Im a slut, but I am the best slut in town”. LOL

  33. 55 Yuri June 19, 2009 at 8:22 pm

    I actually typed a long comment but ended up erasing it. All I can say is that I am a filipino and I am proud of it. I am swept by the korean wave but it doesn’t mean I’m throwing away my nationality. No one is better than the other..End of discussion…

  34. 56 jin June 20, 2009 at 8:25 am

    lo freaking l

  35. 57 milktea June 22, 2009 at 6:38 pm

    one reason why i dont like any asian artist to be “famous” in the philippines is because of the comments i see in this page…..

  36. 58 kikole June 23, 2009 at 5:18 am

    The ”Nobody” song has finally cooled down in me. I’ve been listening to it in months. But I won’t only focus my interest in ”Nobody”, I also liked their song ”You’re Out” and ”This Time”. It’s really nice, I wish WG have a new upcoming song…

  37. 60 pinoyako August 20, 2009 at 7:33 pm

    hhah
