S. Korea's Wonder Girls heading to Hawaii

Advertiser Staff

South Korea's teenage music sensation, Wonder Girls, is coming to Hawaii, June 25-26 at Pipeline Café, to start the second leg of a U.S. tour. The five teen girls are known for three consecutive No. 1 hits, "Tell Me," "So Hot" and "Nobody."

"Nobody" was the first song by a Korean group to enter the Billboard Hot 100, in 2009.

The Wonder Girls will be in Hawaii to promote their new single, "2 Different Tears." The U.S. debut EP has English, Chinese and Korean versions of the single, along with remixes and English versions of their hits.
