Perez Hilton is quite the fan of the Wonder Girls & K-pop in general for some reason, but I do have to say that their English is quite good and maybe that will help expand their fan base which right now judging by this video is 95% Korean:

Lame but harmless. Scrub up well but hardly sexy.A few western heffers in the crowd seemed to like them
4:56 pm on July 28th, 2009 2
No sexy??? c'mon !!

rothkowitz would rather bang joan rivers.

BoA appeared on MTV's Iggy, as did Se7en. Se7en is being shipped back to Korea, and BoA is still trying to gain some traction.
As for the Wonder Girls' appearance … the audience was overwhelmingly Asian. They knew the dance moves and sang the lyrics, even though the Wonder Girls were singing their old hits in Korean. This was a textbook example of preaching to the choir, and almost certainly didn't attract many new fans. Did you notice how Park Jin-young (JYP) mentioned being there before with Rain/Bi? Bad omen.
Despite touring with the Jonas Brothers all across America, and appearing on TV, "Nobody" still isn't in the top thousand in digital downloads. Clearly, Jonas Brothers fans are not rushing out to buy the single.
They seem like nice, polite young women, and I'm not hoping for their failure, but it looks like this might be a slow-motion crash-and-burn.

JYP paid Perez Hilton for that enthusiasm, come on.
6:58 pm on July 28th, 2009 6
And Perez is a despicable character anyway, so his endorsement isn't worth much.
11:35 pm on July 28th, 2009 7
I wish one of the girls would have punched him in the eye.
11:54 pm on July 28th, 2009 8
Well, the one who really can't sing didn't disappoint.
12:49 am on July 29th, 2009 9
I can only think of one foreign language hit in US music history (La Bamba). Why in the world were they singing in Korean? They have some English language songs and the girls seem to speak English fairly well.
JYP seems like a pretty savvy promoter…what was he thinking?
Baffling…

Argh…AWFUL!!! What is MTV Iggy? I haven't a clue. Perez Hilton? What a retard! Wondergirls – were they actually singing live?? Holy crap, they need to stay in the studio then because they can't sing OR dance. 2PM? Who are these jokers?
Seriously, don't we enough no talent wanna be's in the US? Do we really need to import more no talent hacks? It is even worse because they are trying to be like Western pop acts which makes turns them into cartoon characters. Some lame.
All I have to say is go back to Korea and pawn that crap off to your zombie nation.
1:04 am on July 29th, 2009 11
*which turns them into cartoon characters.*
2:42 am on July 29th, 2009 12
….. speechless….
2:48 am on July 29th, 2009 13
The Wonder Girls are hot.
2:17 pm on July 29th, 2009 14
Don't think I can read ROK Drop so long as Perez Hilton is auto-played everytime I access the site.
10:16 pm on July 29th, 2009 15
This Hilton is a jerk. Please dub him over in the video, or delete him completely and leave the Wonder Girls. I can't stand to hear him and it's irritating everytime I'm logging into ROK Drop.
11:54 pm on July 29th, 2009 16
I love the Wonder Girls to death, but I have to agree with #12.
Every time I go to the front page of this blog the crappy video autoloads and I'm not too fond of Hilton's voice! Can somebody please fix that??
7:22 am on July 30th, 2009 17
Isnt this the guy who was punched by a member of the Black eyed Peas?
4:48 pm on September 8th, 2009 18
ha ha well i think the girls are sweet and cute…
5:14 am on September 9th, 2009 19
They need more surgery.
