Wonder Girls--composed of Yubin, Yenny, Sun, Sohee, and Lim--has brought a retro sensation with their smash-hit retro dance tunes since debuting in 2007, such as “Tell me,” “So Hot,” and “Nobody."

After the long stay in the United States for their music activities and starring in a TV show, the Wonder Girls returned to the local music scene last November with the second full-length album "Wonder World."

The songstresses are currently promoting "Like This," the title tune of their second mini-album "Wonder Party," released last month while keeping their act in America with digital single "LIke Money," featuring famous hip-hop artist Akon.
