Wonder Girls\' Yenny talks about whether she regrets their American promotions

Many people have felt over the years that it was a shame Wonder Girls stopped promoting in South Korea to focus on their music in America.  Yenny addressed this sensitive topic during their showcase for \'Reboot\' on August 3.

Yenny said, "A lot of people don\'t believe this, but it is true that I feel no regret regarding our advancement into the United States, and it was a precious time for me.  There are a lot of memories that remain from that period; us eating sesame leaves, seaweed, and ramen, and going to tour guides are vivid.

"In the past, there was no such thing as free time.  When I opened my eyes in the morning, I\'d have to go somewhere, go somewhere else briefly, etc., so [that time] is more blurry. Being in America was a time where I was able to think over what I liked and what I wanted to do.

"If I was to be told we should go back to the United States, it could be scary, but regarding putting down what I had at the time, I had felt no burden or fear.  I feel like because there was that time, I have even less fear about trying new things, like a band."

Wonder Girls could of been even more popular now if JYP never took them to American 

I\'m an Asian living in the States :  ugly truth just b/c you\'re a big name celebrity in your country " its mean nothing in the US "  there are  such thing is over-night sensations  , right timing , stroke of luck "   there are  stars that worked over decades still not getting  the A star status .   Back in the days when the WG was in America right to get new territory - we know is the shame wastes .  But yes you have to go thru pains to appreciation your success .  Not all grass is greener  to other sides .  CL of  2NE1 is the closest to the line (  just b/c she speaks English and have some celebrity\'s ties in LA ) but I doubt  it  .   Not being negatives   - just see the truth  .  and I\'m a fan of KPOP 

It\'s probably a honest answer, but at the same time, she would probably not say she regretted it even if that\'s it the truth.

Well said Yenny~ I respect and admire WG, especially Yenny. She took that experience and made it into a positive insight. Like many, I too would\'ve thought they\'d regret coming here since it basically took Wonder Girls off the map in Korea.  I\'m glad she doesn\'t regret promoting in America and hopefully they come back again~

Wonder girls was probably the first kpop group I ever heard about, mainly thanks to their US promotions. Even though back then I didn\'t know they were a kpop group :D

That is true, i think their US promotions contributed a lot to their fanbase and the love they get! But I understand where Yenny comes from. At the end of the day, Korea\'s their home

WGs was one of the top groups with SNSD at the time when they left for the US, and it also made my favorite member Sunmi leave. I know I regret their promotions in the US. I seriously think Sunmi wasn\'t have left if they stayed in Korea. oh well.

I just keep finding more and more reasons to love this woman. She has always been my bias in this group. And since this is the group that got me into KPop in the first place, that makes her my first. :) 

#WonderGirls unnie fighting! #Wonderful + #JYPNation loves you! #IFeelYou daebak! >_<

I was one of those people that thought American promotions single handedly ruined their Korean career and in all honest, it pretty much did. But Yenny does bring an interesting perspective, in that, it probably allowed them to pretty much fear nothing. Band concept was probably whatever for them bc they\'ve tried so many different things before this.

I really liked the wonder girls movie tho that was on nickelodeon or whatever haha

What? you liked it? I thought it was poorly written. Also - in the audience, cheering, is a friend of mine from college. I noticed him, then noticed that they never change up the shots of the audience, even though there are separate performances on different nights in that movie, the audience are all in the same seats every single time. *face palm*

I don\'t think kpop fans truly get how sincere and heartfelt the WG really are. Win or lose everything us a learning experience so no point in regretting it. You can tell from Yenny solo album how the us influenced her.

The title sounded so wrong ... Like akp get your shit together 

All kpop always try to paint a negative picture of wg in their articles but they can\'t stop wg sincerity from showing.

@wonderfule all we got to do is pray for AKP at this moment *insert praying emoji*

me too if i was in her place i will say the same , maybe they didn\'t succeed , but they  gain new experience and got some  memories from foreign country

well said Yenny! and I hope that my wonder girls will come back to the U.S. for another tour. because I didn\'t make it their concert last time =(  

I truly hope that there will be a chance for the Wonder Girls to promote in the United States again.  And also try out a much more sexier and racier concept
