Besides slight accents, they're all fluent! They've lived here for 3+ years at this point, spending the majority of their time immersed in American culture and language.

A preview of the making of for their MV. This is going to be fantastic, and I'm super excited. Also the girl at :11 looks like Sunny.

MV was cool, but the song was very lack luster compared to their last one. It never got out of that beat and it started to get annoying.

Tbh as biased as I am, I started to feel that way too. Too much of the 'like this yo like this' and not enough actual song.

Yeah, the video itself is really cool, but the song is crap.

I imagine it being boring as fuck to sing live.

I'm the opposite. The video imo is absolute garbage that's about 2 years too late to jump on the "impromptu flash mob" craze that was 98% improv everywhere copies with no spontaneity whatsoever. The song I could see kind of enjoying if it came up while I was playing like Tribes or something.

Korea's music scene is always late, though, so it's appropriate in that sense. They still think it's cool to dance to Destiny's Child and cover Umbrella.

On a side note, they released a practice video of the dance.

All hail Queen Sohee and those hips.

Yeah, and most of the time I don't mind, like I was mostly fine with the pseudo shuffle phase recently, but the pseudo flash mob shit has just always annoyed the fuck out of me, so seeing it pop up and the thought that it might become a thing now in Korea makes me sad.

You know when you're beating a dead horse when Hollywood decides to make a movie about it.



And yeah, it'll probably become a thing now.

singing a cover of Bruno Mars and B.o.B.’s ‘Nothin on You’.

I just randomly found this in someone's 4shared folder. I love the original song and this cover is super cool, but I wish it had more of a beat. I'm all for the cute acoustic covers but this is one I wanna dance to.

Comeback performances

Music Bank Girlfriend + Like This

Music Core The DJ is Mine + Like This

Inkigayo - Interview + Girlfriend + Like This

I loved all the performances except The DJ is Mine. Sohee's mic pack fell off and her mic was screwed up right from the beginning. Sunye is sick and sounds out of breath, Yoobin sounds out of breath. Lim and Yeeun did really well. And the cut in the music was obvious and obnoxious.

Also the MuCore performance of Like This would have made a better MV than the actual MV.

What's up with Sohee's legs in the Music Core performance? Please tell me those are just a hideous pair of tights. Otherwise she looks really diseased.

I noticed that their "Like this" music video has English captions, and the words flow quite nicely with the music. I speculate that these are the actual lyrics that are going to be used in the English version of the song.

Yep! Also, if you notice during the rap, Yeeun mouths 'shoulder' along with the captions rather than Korean. They actually recorded the video with JYP's english sampling I believe

Wonder Girls is releasing their English single. Here's the teaser video. Here's a preview of the song from their movie. Also, they're collaborating with a world famous American artist and JYP says that that artist has over 40 million likes on FB. Single drops on the 10th! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />

I'm rewatching the movie because it's so hilariously cheesy. I love Lim.
