Wonder Girls' comeback becoming the center of attention among many K-Pop fans
Wonder Girls' comeback is becoming a hot issue among many K-Pop fans.
On August 3rd, girl group Wonder Girls is going to make an official comeback with their 3rd regular album, 'REBOOT.' It is going to be their first comeback in three years.
Wonder Girls made their official debut with a single album called 'The Wonder Begins,' and they made consecutive hits with 'Tell Me,' 'Nobody,' and 'So Hot.'
After Sun Mi's withdrawal in 2010, Hye Lim joined the groups, but all the group completely stopped their activities after Sun Ye got married a couple years ago. So Hee, who used to be one of the main members of the group, quickly withdrew from the team afterwards, and rumors about their breakup has roamed around many fans and netizens.
The girls announced their official comeback just recently, and many K-Pop fans are now focusing their attention to whether the girls will be able to retrieve the old fame.
Wonder Girls will be coming back as a band concept, and Yu Bin, Hye Lim, Sun Mi, and Ye Eun will each play drums, guitar, bass, and keyboard.
The girls succeeded in capturing people's attention with their solo teaser videos, but many people still doubt their successful comeback. Sun Mi and Ye Eun have been active as soloists during last couple of years, but they have never been big vocalists in the group, and coming back as a band will require much higher vocal skills.
Absence of So Hee, who used to be the icon of Wonder Girls, is also functioning as a big risk for Wonder Girls. The total number of fans decreased significantly after So Hee's withdrawal from the team, and even more fans turned back from Wonder Girls while they were on a long break.
Surely, the girls would have spent a long time while getting ready for their comeback, but it is still not sure whether their new concept will be able to satisfy the fans' anticipation. If their new concept gets received as an unfamiliarity instead of originality, they might lose even more fans.
Nobody can guarantee a success or failure for Wonder Girls yet, but it is a solid truth that their upcoming promotion will play a pivotal role in their future.
Meanwhile, Wonder Girls' new album, 'REBOOT,' will be officially released on August 3rd, and they will hold an online comeback showcase on the same day.
