The Wonder Girls Play In L.A.’s Staples Center

The Wonder Girls tour of America has now moved to the West Coast:

The Wonder Girls, one of the most popular girl bands in Korea, were totally obscure rookies in the United States, but that did not discourage them. On Saturday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California, they sang their signature song “Nobody” at the ever popular Jonas Brothers’ concert. Since the end of June, they have been opening shows for the Jonas Brothers’ nationwide 45-city tour.

Most of the audience, of course, come to watch Jonas Brothers, but they find themselves cheering for the girl band, giving the Wonder Girls a reception unusual for unknowns from Korea.

Sun-ye of the Wonder Girls says, “We expected to start from scratch when we came to the United States, and after each concert, we get to take a fresh look at ourselves. Now we’re happy that more and more Americans are recognizing us.” So-hee says at first during meetings with audiences, “we had to ask people who were not interested in us to take pictures with us. But now we don’t need to ask, since unbelievably, 300 to 400 people are coming to take pictures with us.”  [Chosun Ilbo]

I don’t know who is taking pictures with them, but considering they are playing in LA, which has the nation’s largest Koreatown I can take pretty good guess who they are.
