Wonder Girls perform with Stevie Wonder / are photographed with United Nations secretary Ban Ki Moon for UN Day Concert



"In celebration of the 67th anniversary of the establishment of the United Nations Organization, the 2012 UN Day Concert: "A Message of Peace featuring Stevie Wonder” took place on Wednesday, 24 October 2012 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in the General Assembly Hall at UN Headquarters in New York.

The concert was sponsored by United Nations Messenger of Peace Mr. Stevie Wonder, in partnership with Black Entertainment Television."



This performance was only scheduled two days before the show and they did not have time to rehearse until a few hours before since they were in Houston the night before, so it's not their best, however, they performed two songs:

What The World Needs Now Is Love with Stevie Wonder (here)
Like Money with a Live Band, introduced by Stevie. You can watch it here.

They also came back on stage for the closing number with the rest of the performers, including Doug E. Fresh.

"They performed for a crowd including the under-Secretary-General Peter Launsky-Tieffenthal of the Department of Public Information, the UN Secretary-General, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, the President of the 67th Session of the General Assembly, Mr. Vuk Jeremic, and the Chief Executive Officer of Black Entertainment Television, Ms. Debra Lee."

Lmao. I love those suits! Their so fitted in all the right places. I need one for my career woman concept. I actually hate their "Like Money" outfits idk who designed them but they need to be put on leave.

They need to get whoever styles them in Japan to work for them full time. I'm not even sure they have one in america...

Oh yeah. Their dresses in nobody (not the gold ones) were really nice. They should have worn their Wonder Best suits actually.

I love how before the iheartradio thing they were like "we're premiering new outfits!" and it was just these same ones but in black. they looked like they were going to a really sad beach in the 1930s. I'll have to send them some moodboards for "Wake Up" or w/e song they're going to do next so this doesn't happen again. You know JYP loves getting advice as long as it's free.

Seriously. Lol, it looks so odd... Would have just made them wear what they wore for rehearsals.

Also I wish they had done a song like "What the World Needs Now Is Love" for the cover the world thing. It would sound so perfect if they sat down and recorded it, better than "True Colors". It's such an honor that they got to perform at the UN w/ Stevie Wonder. I'm so proud of them ^__^

good for them :) i still remember hearing nobody on repeat in asia in 2009!

hehe Like Money playing in front of the UN. the Nobel concerts always feel random to me too (love robyn with her ridiculous shoes but rly?). but i love that song and that i hear it on the radio in the midwest.

Stevie Wonder~~ Yeeun's dream come true~~

I am left here wondering (once again) why the hell they went to the trouble of filming the mv with those outfits if they were never going to rock them. I hate these, they are so unappealing and only Sohee's looks okayish. Goddam, did JYP blow up his budget and decide to go for a rent-for-a-day outfit??

I wish they had worn different outfits. It's the UN, not a concert hall.

I'm so happy I'm not the only person disturbed by those outfits! I saw a picture on Tumblr were Yeeun's camel toe was so bad it damn near came out my screen and slapped me.

Anyway, I'm so proud of them getting to perform with such a legend! ;-;

Calm down people Stevie performs with anyone. He did a medley with The Jonas Brothers.
Not cute coochie cutters with UN officials.
I heard the song too, nice they are getting visually well-known.
