With their comeback just around the corner, JYP Entertainment recently shed light on the Wonder Girls‘ preparations for their upcoming album and their thoughts on competing against SNSD.

JYP Entertainment stated on October 17th, “It’d be a lie if we said we’re not stressing over SNSD’s comeback. But because we’ll be standing in front of everyone after such a long period away, we’re concentrating more on bringing out a quality album.

While the agency is still mum on the group’s comeback concept, they’ve confirmed that the girls will be breaking free from the ‘retro’ concept, as seen in “Tell Me”, “So Hot”, and “2 Different Tears”. Reportedly, the Wonder Girls have already completed recording their title track while traveling back and forth between Korea and the U.S.

“The members produced a lot of tracks while they were in the States. Even though they returned to Korea last week, they’re still very focused on their recordings. The title track will be very different from the ‘retro’ concept. We will be revealing a new image to the Wonder Girls,” said the representative.

One of the reasons why JYPE decided to steer away from ‘retro’ lies in how the group’s entire album will be installed in their upcoming U.S. movie, “The Wonder Girls at the Apollo”. The songs selected will not only be suitable for the movie itself, but will also aim to target the U.S. music market.

Although they’ve confirmed their comeback to be in early November, the official date has yet to be finalized, as the girls are still in the process of selecting the album’s remaining songs.

“Since it’s the first album to be released after such a long time, we’re putting a lot of care into each and every song. We will work to bring out a great album and show an awesome image on a perfect stage. We ask for your support.”

JYPE confirms they are talking because everyone is doing something and WG are not.

I don't care about the concept. As long as it's a good song/album, I'm a happy camper. I need new music from them. Yay, first BEG and now WG. What a good year for my kpop girl group fandom heart! <3

i hope they do something similiar to "Now"
its a shame that this concept was only used for a commercial

thank you
tbh i really think that its going to be a bad WG/sexy concept because its something WG have never done before

I won't ever understand why WG released so little during these few years as they could have released songs like 2NE1 did some of their singles without any actual promotion in music shows. By not releasing songs they were kinda left from current kpop Hallui wave (considering almost exponential growth of kpop past few years outside Korea, majority of current kpop fans have become fans after they left for US and thus never became fans of WG).

ia. that's very unfortunate for them. they could have easily just dropped a single here and there for maybe osts or something but they really just disappeared completely. not even CFs.

IA that WG's discography is really quite frail (taking into account how they've been active for nearly 5 years) but they have done CFs: the bbq chicken one, the Seoul tourism one, WG cosmetics line, Samsung and most notably, EXR (which reported record sales after WG's campaign for Spring 2010).

Sunye also did an OST song for Dream High but yeah...that's not a group effort :(

o yea how could i forgot about the bbq chicken one. i see it everyday irl! lol but i feel like none of their CFs were that big/impactful, maybe it's cause they didn't make any jingles to go along with the ads.

I AM SO EXCITED. THE WAR IS ON! BRINGING OUT MY STAN CANNONS NOW!!

i mean this in the best possible way ever, i'm very excited for the friendly competition which would bring out quality performances on both sides. k-pop had been soooooo boring this entire year.

i disagree. personally i think 2011 is/was a good year for kpop, especially after the disappointment 2010 was.

Nah idts. 2010 brought about amazing albums like Epik High's "epilogue", 2AM's "Saint O'Clock" and Outsider's "Protagonist", in addition to noteworthy stuff like GD&TOP and miss A's work. San E and J Lim also debuted/came back so I can't complain about 2010 haha.

There haven't been any break-out new acts this year though like in 2010.

yea, it's just a flood of newbies who are all about the same over and over again while the big shots are all trying to get into japan and then only releasing lazy remakes after remakes. and no one has exactly made any record shattering comeback. Big Bang and 2NE1 came back but their promotion was kinda lazy. And there's no SHINee and SNSD (until now) and that made me really upset as I looooooove those two groups. Well 2011 is picking up it's pace though with BEG and WonSoKa! Isn't 2AM coming back too?

For me, 2009 was an awesome year! 2010 was ok but not fantastic elastic.

The wonder girls must have 1000 songs recorded because every article about them mentions how they are in the studio. I am not expecting much from JYP since they have been half assing their albums this year but I'm glad the girls will have a comeback.

I think they mean Tell Me, Nobody and 2DT. So Hot was pretty modern.

I'm excited but at the same time I feel like I should be prepared to be underwhelmed. Love WG of course, but I just have that sinking feeling :'(
