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.”

Date: 2011-10-17 09:43 pm (UTC)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 :'(
