In 2007, the biggest buzz in South Korea was neither the negotiations with North Korea nor the presidential elections. It was the Wonder Girls.

The Wonder Girls are a girl band of JYP, one of the most famous Korean entertainment agencies. People were addicted to the 5 teenage girls dressed in retro style and dancing on the stage.

This was the song “Tell Me” that remained on the top of the Korean charts for a long time. Do you want to know the lyrics? Well… are you serious? You are really expecting something like….. lyrics? Send me an email if you really want to know.

Honestly, they are aesthetically pleasing, even for a lady with a very dry sense of humour like me. However, I’m WONDERING: if my daughter was a high school student with a body shaped for minimum size dresses, and she was egging on the fantasies of others - would I be happy? I don’t think so.
