Malaysian Today interview with the Wonder Girls when they came down to Malaysia for the MTV World Stage 2010

THEY have been topping the Korean charts with hits like ‘Irony’, ‘Tell Me’ and ‘So Hot’ and even entered the US Billboard Top 100 with ‘Nobody’ and ‘2 Different Tears’. Their dance moves have started a craze and now they want global domination. Malaysian Today managed to hook up with Wonder Girls’ Min Seon Yeh (SunYe), Park Yeh Eun (YeEun/Yenny), Ahn So Hee (SoHee), Kim Yubin (YuBin) and Woo Hye Rim (Hye Rim/Lim) as they came down for the MTV World Stage Live in Malaysia recently. We were pleasantly surprised to find them a rather bubbly bunch.

Malaysian Today: Since you girls have been touring around a lot, have you managed to find any boyfriends?
Wonder Girls:We wish!
SunYe: We are kind of boyfriends with each other.
Yenny: Currently we don’t have any boyfriends.
Lim: Currently?? (Everyone laughs)
Yenny: Yeah, we’re trying to focus on what we’re doing, our careers for now.

Q: During the Press conference, Katy Perry mentioned you girls as the artiste she would like to work with, what do think about that?
All five: Oh wow… oh my God! (A few screams)
Yenny: We didn’t know that! We’d really like to work with her too, seriously. We love her so much, she’s awesome!
SunYe: We love every song of hers, like ‘Hot and Cold’, ‘I Kissed a Girl’… (Screams from the girls)
Lim: Yeah we’d really love to work with her also.

Q: How do you girls manage your fan base in both Korea and the US?
SunYe: Twitter…
SoHee: Yeah, Twitter!
SunYe: We’ve been doing it for a year now, but sometimes it’s hard to pick a language because our Korean fans want us to communicate in Korean while our US and other Asian fans would like us to use English, so we’ve had to use both languages.
Lim: It’s always fun, since we’re always on the road yet we can talk to our fans.

Q: Other Korean artistes like Rain, DBSK, Super Junior and even BEAST have performed here. Will your fans here have the chance to watch a full-blown Wonder Girls concert on our shores?
All Five: Wooo…!
Yenny: We don’t have a specific plan yet, but we’ll definitely love to come back here and have our full concert.
Lim: We love our Malaysian fans, the food, the weather and everything… we’ll definitely come back!

Q: You girls are the first South Korean artistes to enter the US Billboard Top 100 charts and the first Asian act to do so in 30 years. How does that feel?
YuBin: Unbelievable!
SoHee: It’s amazing, a real wonder!
SunYe: We were screaming and just couldn’t believe it at first and we believe we should work harder to pursue our dreams.

Q: We heard that the latest season of your reality show MTV Wonder Girls will be partly filmed in Malaysia. What can we look forward to?
Yenny: You’ll get to see behind the scenes of the Wonder Girls like how we prepare the stage and how New York life was.
SunYe: And a little bit on our US concerts and how we prepare our music, clothes and our choreography and stuff.

Q: Are you girls best friends in real life? Do you girls have any catfights?
YuBin: I think we are more like a family.
SunYe: We are just like real sisters, so sometimes we fight…
SoHee: We fight about food and small, petty things.
Yenny: I mean we don’t actually punch each other or something.
SunYe: Not often! (Everyone laughs)

Q: Out of all the outfits throughout the years, which one is your favourite?
Yenny: I love the ‘Nobody’ dresses. We’ve got gold, sparkly dresses, I really like that one.
YuBin: Uh, I don’t know…
SoHee: I like the school look for our first song, and also our first concept.
Lim: I really like the look of our latest from ‘2 Different Tears’, which were by SoHee and YuBin. They came up with the idea.
SoHee & YuBin: Shh!! (Everyone laughs)

Q: You girls have amazing style on stage, so what are your styles like, off-stage?
SoHee: (points at YuBin) Well she’s a rapper…
The Rest: No, off-stage! (Everyone laughs)
Yenny: YuBin likes a kind-off rock-ish, funky style.
YuBin: But it depends on where we are actually.
Yenny: Sometimes we dress up, like in mini dresses but usually we wear something really comfortable like jeans and t-shirts.

Q: What do you do during your free time?
Lim: I like to watch movies and go shopping.
SoHee: Sometimes we go to karaoke together.
SunYe: Our favourite song would be ‘Nobody’… (She looks around) Oh oh… (Everyone laughs)
Lim: We also like to sing songs by BoA and other girl groups like So Nyeo Shi Dae (Girls’ Generation)’s ‘Gee’.

Q: Do you girls ever miss living a normal girl’s life?
Yenny: Sometimes… like when we miss our family or friends’ birthdays or like when we can’t attend some family events like my brother’s graduation and stuff.
The Rest: Awww…
Yenny: But even though we are missing some part of normal life, we are also living our dreams so I feel we should just be grateful for what we’re doing now.

Q: Which of you girls is the most naughty and talkative?
Yenny: Most naughty? We don’t have naughty ones! But I think I’m the talkative one.
SunYe: Yup, you’re the talkative one. (Everyone laughs)
YuBin: Who’s naughty? (The rest stare at her) Oops, never mind. (Everyone laughs again)

Q: You girls are known for your infectious dance moves like those from ‘Irony’ ‘Tell Me’, ‘So Hot’ and so on, so which one do you enjoy performing the most?
All Five: ‘Nobody’!
Yenny: Because everyone knows the dance moves. It’s amazing to see people actually dancing our moves on stage. We get goose bumps!

Q: Your latest single has meaningful lyrics: Have any of you actually experienced, ‘2 Different Tears’?
All Five: Umm… Uhh… (Everyone laughs)
YuBin: Well, not just in love, but definitely when we were touring.
SunYe: Like our last show in Hawaii, it was happy and also sad, because it was our last show there. I felt that way (Sobs a little).

Q: Do you have a role model?
Lim: I really look up to BoA. Before I got into this industry, I always listened to her music, and when I auditioned, I sang and danced with her song. She’s my favourite idol.

LOOOOOL

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

Lim sent a fangirlish tweet to boa before her comeback. It was adorable lol
o/t but are there any subs for the new show?

[soheefan.livejournal.com]

Not yet from what i seen. I heard there is only like ONE subber for the wonder subbers so i think it might take a bit for the subbed versions. But i still like it even though i dont understand a damn word lol

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

I keep seeing them tweet about subbers so I figured it would be delayed. I guess I will just watch the videos without subs too then lol

Malaysian Today: Since you girls have been touring around a lot, have you managed to find any boyfriends?
Wonder Girls:We wish!
SunYe: We are kind of boyfriends with each other.

This answer reminded of that Sex and the city moment. Pretty cute. I like the idea of the girls being each other boyfriends and yes i meant that in a pretty way =)

Q: How do you girls manage your fan base in both Korea and the US?
SunYe: Twitter…
SoHee: Yeah, Twitter!

I love how Sohee is always so enthusiastic about Twitter even though she tweets the least lol. But i will not complain since she actually responded to a tweet of mine and i still get pretty happy thinking about that

I dont like Katy Perry but Jyp make this collab happen. It will be AMAZING exposure since i think im the only person who hates katy perry lol

I LOVE how this report kept mentioning Irony, because that song is sooo under appreciated. Such a great debut song and the dance was so strong. And i actually can listen to that song more thank Tell Me.

Anyway. This is probably TL;DR status. So long story short. Cute Interview. I love them way too much lol

[luvey.livejournal.com]

you aren't the only person to not like katy perry.

[twinkystar16.livejournal.com]

i don't like her too

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

This answer reminded of that Sex and the city moment.

The "we can be each other's soulmates" moment? I remember that episode.

[needsm0retime.livejournal.com]

Lim is such a stan of BoA its adorable. :)

But I always thought they were sick of everything related to Nobody since they over performed it...

[bunny-lita.livejournal.com]

I know I would be if I were them. But maybe it's one of those situations where they've done it so long it circled back around from annoying back to enjoyable again.

[fuglyftw.livejournal.com]

haha, yeah, that sounds about right

[kiddiox3.livejournal.com]

your icon :D♥
