What the magazine blogs had to say;

J-14 Video Exclusive: Meet the Wonder Girls!

Say hi to Sohee, Sun, Mimi, Yenny, and Yubin aka the Wonder Girls! The girls stopped by the J-14 office this morning to chat about everything from being away from their home country of South Korea to their tour mates, the Jonas Brothers. In fact, J-14 was one of their first American magazine interviews ever.

Besides their awesome fashion sense (Psst! They even changed outfits in the J-14 office for their next meeting), they girls were super sweet and totally hilarious. Check out their shout-out just for J-14ers:

Don't forget to catch the Wonder Girls opening for the Jonas Brothers this summer on their World Tour.

The Wonder Girls just gave us insider Jonas deets!

Hey M girls!

We just got done chatting with the super-talented group Wonder Girls! The band is originally from South Korea, but their single "Nobody" has been a huge hit here in America -- so huge, in fact, that they're now on tour with the Jonas Brothers! They even gave us some juicy inside info on the boys! The Wonder Girls told M that Nick is the best baseball player, but all three of the guys are super-competitive! Definitely make sure to check Wonder Girls out on tour with JB this summer!

Meet The Wonder Girls!

Popstar! just met The Wonder Girls!

The opening act for the Jonas Brothers stopped by the Popstar! offices today and they couldn't have been sweeter!

The talented girl group gushed about opening for JB, saying how the entire Jonas family has been incredibly nice to them from the start

Their hit single "Nobody" is available on iTunes and they gave us a taste of it today! Check it out!

What do you guys think of them being in US teen magazines? Personally, I'm really happy that they're getting more recognition! Wonder Girls success here opens up a lot of doors for more K-pop acts to become successful here.

I love those kinds of magazines. Only a matter of time before one them is like "Is Joe Jonas dating Wonder Girls' Yubin?" and wg gains a ton of fans.

OMG YES. JOEBIN ♥

[orangeinsanity.livejournal.com]

hahaha this!

I think they gain more anti fans then fans with that.

Se7en's, Rain's and BoA's management companies should be taking notes, right now lol

...and in before all the Jonas hate.

[nichkhun.livejournal.com]

lol yes. this so hard.

people who hate the jonas brothers and like other manufactured bands like FTisland confuse me....

[zephkun.livejournal.com]

Their management companies should get them to study English properly... ^^"

The problem is Rain, Se7en, and BoA are too old to be immediately accepted by the core JoBro fanographic w/o any questions asked or the "you gotta impress me first" mentality. Wonder Girls are so incredibly approachable to that younger and late teen set, BoA is too (imo because she is a girl), but not to the same extent. Once the younger set have latched on to the Wonder Girls then their parents would get introduced or older siblings maybe, or their aunts that are in their 20s or something... There isn't an alternative American pop music artist out there right now that you can pair Rain, Se7en, or BoA to that would automatically stack things in their favor to make the impression on an age demographic that will help kickstart things for them the most.

Rain, Se7en, and BoA would have to do things so incredibly differently. BoA is werking it for all she can and with her new video things could start happening (it is a solid dancy number you haven't seen a whole lot of lately)... but Rain and Se7en get compared to artists that have come before them years ago (Usher and JT, and maybe Neo) so unless they totally reinvent the game they will go no where in the US market.

JYP is doing really well in that area. He needs to start up a class or something.

[vi-ii-i.livejournal.com]

lol it's kind of depressing that they're hitting up the 9-12 year old demographic when most of their overseas fans before this are probably like late teens and up

[finchburg.livejournal.com]

It is, but I see it as really smart too because if you get younger girls addicted to WG then it will have a ripple effect and pretty soon everyone will know "of" them at least. Hannah Montana is one example I can think of.

[chickadork.livejournal.com]

Woooo congrats! I watched the videos and they're sorta same-ish, but they did a good job.
JYP is really getting the girls out there, one step at a time! XD

Fave comment on the sites was "They're like a South Korean version of the Cheetah Girls!"
Lol noooooo.... XD

[nichkhun.livejournal.com]

that comment made me lol so hard.

and just because...

[thrift.livejournal.com]

Re: and just because...

[wildcosmos.livejournal.com]

LOL QT.

[finchburg.livejournal.com]

I find it really prection that they've played baseball with the JoBros.

[nichkhun.livejournal.com]

I lol'd for real when I read "prection".

Im buying the 3 magazines

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

I feel soo proud of my Wonder Girls and JYP :D

Re: Im buying the 3 magazines

[orangeinsanity.livejournal.com]

I would too except WG aren't my favourite group or anything, though I'm all for supporting them... I just hate wasting 5$ on a magazine more than anything.

[nene718.livejournal.com]

You go JYP Coco.

[schizofragile.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, now the magazines? JYP knows what he's doing eh, at least for the mean time.

[beautifiers.livejournal.com]

this shit's crazy, yo

[polyurethane.livejournal.com]

Omfg J-14. I used to read that religiously during junior high.

I'm def gonna have to pick up this copy if I can find it.

[shiawaseni.livejournal.com]

i just the same thing three times with different outfits.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

I am happy they are getting interviews and such but that really isn't going to make it work for them. They need to get on the radio if they want to make it.

[unreal.livejournal.com]

agreed

[beauty0fparting.livejournal.com]

i spot wank.. ^^

[marochi-x.livejournal.com]

I'm proud and worried for them at the same time. ):

But damn SM and YG should take some notes.

[kawaiisis86.livejournal.com]

Would anybody know if the WG will be supporting Jobro's on their tour of europe?

[kanaala.livejournal.com]

damn, JYP really knows his business.. lol
WG are doing good <3
