Girl group WONDERGIRLS is envious of their rival SNSD. On September 4 (Korean time) at the NCsoft AION players' convention in Seattle, WONDERGIRLS agreed to a media interview & shared their thoughts aloud. They yearned to get off like SNSD, & also hoped to perform together with their company's other artistes.

-- About how SNSD took a specially charted flight to Los Angeles, WONDERGIRLS appeared a little bummed out.

Sunye: "Not so much dissatisfaction, as it has engendered an aspiration. [We] yearn to perform together with our JYP buddies. All the artistes under our company banner, one after another, putting up a special show for the fans. Seems like a great idea. For us, it can also produce good memories."

-- Recent hearsay has WONDERGIRLS losing Korean fans due to their American activities. Any thoughts about returning to re-establish [themselves] in Korea?

Yeeun: "About the claim of feeling sad over losing the fans, we make light of it. The reason why the fans like other singers is cuz they like different kinds of music, so we don't have any resentment. Also, denying this fact won't help us succeed. Although we are sorry about letting down our Korean fans, our American activities must still proceed on, right through to the final success. In order not to let the Korean fans feel upset, we will create a fanclub & upload videos."

-- Sunye's stealthy altruism in delivering clothing to the mountain codger has become a great talking point.

Sunye: "I am very embarrassed. Trekked over 2 hours in the mountains, yet unable to find [him]. Eventually, I had to inconvenience the show's PD with the task, & possibly that was how everybody came to know about it. I was worried about burdening the privy, but fortunately he was very understanding. Formerly in Korea, I was always thinking of doing something meaningful. This was a great opportunity, so it felt very good.

-- Any thoughts about the time spent on American activities?

Sunye: "We went to America in April last year. So already it has been about 1.5 years, & we have performed in over 90 cities [in all]. We released the title song 'Nobody' of our debut English-language album. When the latter hit the Billboard Top 100 in the last-half year, that was an extremely proud time & we were brimming with aplomb. This year, we have already toured solo in over 30 cities. The new '2DT' album was simultaneously released in Korean, English & Chinese editions. But this is the first time we are doing a Los Angeles [sic] showcase while appearing in the AION MMORPG game. It seems like destiny has been pulling us along, right through till the present."

-- After conducting America activities, any differences compared to Korea?

Yoobin: "The reactions of American & Korean fans seem the same. But during our events, we get to perform for & meet the fans more in America. In Korea, it was more through music broadcasts."

-- What are the future plans?

Lim: "We are preparing our next album. It is expected to be released in January 2011.

Sunye: "For the remaining 3 months or so this year, along with the American events & the album preparations, we may go to places we have not been to in Asia to carry out focused activities."

I heard in a radio interview Sunye say it was going to be an Korean album. Im actually really confused. Hoping for Korean though

I believe they're making two versions. there will definitely be an english album because if you preordered, you got a free english 2DT version as an apology for the delayed english album which they said would be released in the "fall"... which then got pushed back to january lol

lol I keep forgetting that I pre-ordered their album almost a year ago, it feels like I'm getting it for free since I payed for it long ago. I can't wait!

Ahh im such a loser. I just submitted this story lol.

But I CANNOT WAIT for this new album in January. I really hope its a korean album so they can own Korea again for a a few months so Korea remembers how legendary WG songs can be, then come back to America and concentrate hardcore on the American market for about a year

Oh and tbh a chartered plane would be a waste on JYP artists. There are too few of them. There were over 40 people for SM and if you count Miss A now JYP Fam amounts to 19. (21 if you count JYP himself and JOO).

WG are always wearing designer things on the regular anyway (I mean Yoobin wore $600 Alexander McQueen leggings to the airport ffs lol), so I think they are covered in the glamor department :)

I agree. A JYP Fam concert would be great, but since they're not as large as SM, they should start off on a smaller scale. That plane was so expensive, it's not worth it unless you have a huge amount of ppl to fill it.

i dont get the close knit feeling with jype artists/groups - like within each group they are tight but not between different groups like sme seem to be.

but i would love a jyp fam concert O_O

Practically all of the jyp artists with Twitter accounts yesterday posted a link to San-E's debut teaser video on youchoob. I also see lots of OneDay twitpics and @-ing other JYP artists, at least more than outside celebs. They definitely have a family feel going on. They're just not as big as SME yet, but a family nevertheless.

Ever saw Jo Kwon and Sunye together? Or heard Min's stories about Jo Kwon? Or took a closer look at the friendship between 2AM and 2PM?
Just because they aren't bursting and showing of their friendship, doesn't mean there isn't any.
I'm not saying that your feeling is wrong, but perhaps you should take a better look. Not everybody is as openly wh*ring about his company mates as Minho.

What is better?
Being treated highly with a chartered plane, yet having lawsuits going on
or
Promoting pretty well in the US, yet not getting a chartered plane?
