Obsessively blogging about pop music, pop videos, pop stars, and pop culture from inside the MTV headquarters in Times Square. We also have a slight Jonas Brothers problem. And a little fixation with Tokio Hotel.
BoA, I loved you before your MTV Buzzworthy Blog interview, but you had me all over again at "iced coffee" and "noodles" -- two things we BOTH LOVE DEARLY. Also, your Wonder Girls-style hair is bona fide BANGIN'. And since you don't have a driver's license, I will happily chauffeur you around Los Angeles in exchange for dance lessons.
Also, I will manage to overlook the fact that you, BoA, DO NOT LIKE SNACKS (!??!?!??! IN WHAT WORLD DOES A HUMAN BEING NOT LIKE SNACKS????) because I love "Eat You Up" so much. Wait, how can someone with a song called "Eat You Up" and lyrics like "So yum yum" NOT LIKE SNACKS?
Find out more about the Korean electro-pop crossover in this Buzzworthy Blog exclusive, and watch her "Eat You Up" video after the jump.
2.) Wonder Girls are from South Korea, and they're one of the biggest groups in all of Asia. Like Jonas Brothers-famous in Asia. But don't worry uniglots -- Wonder Girls also sing in English.
3.) Their biggest album to date is The Wonder Years, and their biggest singles are "So Hot," "Nobody," and "Tell Me." They should be releasing "Nobody" as their first U.S. single this month.
4.) Wonder Girls, like 2PM, are part of the JYP Entertainment empire, founded by singer-songwriter/ producer/ entertainment mogul Jin Young Park(or JYP), who's a legend in the K-pop kingdom.
5.) The Wonder Girls sound is part R&B, part pop, with power hooks (they covered Pussycat Dolls' "Don't Cha" early on in their career). They're sexy-cute (so watch yourself, Nick!), stylish, and their look is pure retro-nuevo modern-day Motown. Think throwback mod minis to go with their R&B Aguilera-style power hooks. Winehouse without all that wine.
Anyway, Wonder Girls actually aren't strangers to U.S. at all, and their Jonas tour won't be their first trip to America -- they made a special trip to MTV headquarters in New York City and gave an exclusive performance for their fans at MTV Iggy. (And Buzzworthy snuck in! They were phenomenally fun! And so glittery! And so adorable!)
