Wonder Girls have plans for Chinese concert + album too

[bunglur.livejournal.com]

The Wonder Girls were in Beijing, China today for a studio interview with Sina.com. There were the usual interview questions with the Wonder Girls which I am not going to write on much since we have ALL heard it before. What's important though was the interview with JY Park who revealed his master plan outline about the Wonder Girls taking on America and China in the latter half of 2009.



JY Park confirmed that the Wonder Girls were indeed appearing on 13 shows for the Jonas Brothers World Tour 2009 and said it would be a meaningful opportunity. He said that it was not simply taking 1 step but essentially going 3 - 4 steps away from others who were debuting at the same time. JY Park also said, "There's Toyota, Hyundai in America while Jackie Chan has also made a name for himself in Hollywood. But why isn't there an Asian artiste who can hold his own in the music industry? This is an excellent opportunity for us and although it's going to be a difficult one, I have to say that there is no better time for us to enter the industry then now."

Wonder Girls have plans for China too!

JY Park also lavished praise on his charges, "When one goes to America, everyone has to start from scratch again. The Wonder Girls might be really popular in Korea because of Nobody, but it's nothing in America because no one knows about them. But I am very touched to see them being able to start from scratch again, with the same determination as they did before their debut in Korea and the strong will to want to excel again."


'In Korea, there will be people helping them to clean their rooms, handle their daily lifestyles for them because of their star status. But after going to America, I told them that they were not stars anymore, they have to start from scratch again, being just like how they were before their debut. They have to get their own necessities, clean their own rooms, etc. It's pretty difficult to adjust from being a star to a nobody in such a short time, but they were able to accept it and just do it effortlessly, so I am very impressed.


JYP also talked about plans for the Wonder Girls in China, "Actually, our plans for the Wonder Girls have a concert in China has been pretty much finalized for this winter. We hope that a lot of people will come to support them. Besides releasing an English album this autumn in America, we are also going to release a Chinese album at the same time as well. All of them have a Chinese name and have been learning the language constantly, hoping to meet their Chinese fans with their album as soon as possible."

This pretty much confirms that we won't see them in Korea much for 2009.

Whatever happened to the Chinese knockoff of WG?

Good point.
And why would the original WGs release a Chinese album? Isn't it what the group based in China are for?
JYP's marketing strategy for China seems rather messy.

Whatever, good luck to the girls anyway.

I was wondering about that too.

[magicmelodyx.livejournal.com]

Am I the only one who thinks they're spreading themselves way too thin?

[neko-kakoi.livejournal.com]

Out of all the Kpoppers, WG really have the best Chinese pronunciation. ^^ Hope they do well in China.

Eugh.

#1. I hate the Chinese language.
#2. They haven't even debuted in America yet, I hope they get a looong break afterwards.
#3. I'm guessing it'll be years until new Korean music.

@1, ~EXCUSE YOU~

[canyoucelebrate.livejournal.com]

Um, thanks.

[bunglur.livejournal.com]

it'll probably just be the same shit on their english album anyway, but in chinese. i'd listen to the english one anyway so idc what other language they release it in

[pickychu.livejournal.com]

i hope promoting their chinese album doesnt get in the way of any US tours

[ex-holdhear.livejournal.com]

I think this is really cool, but at the same time, I'm wondering...

when will they sleep?

[rockerista03.livejournal.com]

when will they sleep?

The next century maybe? Or the next millenium.

[kanaala.livejournal.com]

shouldn't they rather be concentrating solely on their American debut??
lol~ sorry now it seems like they don't really take it seriously...

[rerightings.livejournal.com]

Don't bite off more than you can chew, JYP.

[essyllus.livejournal.com]

Um... are the new albums going to be remakes of their Korean ones or new songs? I want new songs... and I don't care what language. :I

[bunglur.livejournal.com]

their english album will have korean remakes of their singles (which is only like 3 songs) and the rest will be new
i'm assuming the chinese album will be the same as the english one but in chinese

[essyllus.livejournal.com]

awesome! sounds good. :)

So they live in apartments together in Korea and share rooms, but someone else cleans their rooms? Man I could understand if you had a whole giant house like movies stars, but with an apartment shouldn't you clean it yourself? :\
