JYP wants Tae Yang & YG wants Sun Ye!
J.Y. Park and Yang Hyun Suk recently participated in a fun game that had them name artists they’d scout from each others’ companies.
On September 7th, J.Y. Park and Yang Hyun Suk guested on SBS‘s ‘One Night of TV Entertainment‘, during which the MC asked, “Which singers from the other agency would you like to scout?”
J.Y. Park answered, “There is one person who I would like the most,” and named 1TYM‘s Teddy. He explained, “I don’t just want him as a celebrity — I’m thinking that he would produce songs for other singers, too.”
J.Y. Park picked Big Bang‘s Taeyang as his second choice, stating, “He’s so good at dancing and singing, so I think it’d be fun to record together.”
Lastly, J.Y. Park stated that he would like to scout 2NE1‘s Sandara Park. He explained, “She has a strong charm about her that you can’t see in other female celebrities.” Yang Hyun Suk replied,“Sandara Park’s nickname is ‘The girl from Mars’. She doesn’t seem like she’s from Earth. I’ve been watching her for several years, but still, every time I see her, she doesn’t seem like she’s from our planet.”
Meanwhile, Yang Hyun Suk picked 2PM‘s Nichkhun first. He explained, “Nichkhun came from overseas. He is very good-looking and cute. I like Nichkhun.”
He then selected Wonder Girls‘ Sunye, stating, “A long time ago, J.Y. Park had an audition program. I liked Sunye since then. She was so pretty that I thought to myself that I would like to raise her.”
Finally, the CEO of YG Entertainment chose miss A‘s Suzy, explaining, “These days, Suzy is catching my eye.”

Yang Hyun Suk & Park Jin Young @ ‘Survival Audition K-Pop Star’ Press Conference
On September 2nd, YG Entertainment‘s Yang Hyun Suk and JYP Entertainment‘s J.Y. Park came together at the Imperial Palace Hotel to attend the press conference for SBS’s ‘Survival Audition K-Pop Star‘!
As two of three judges on the show, both men discussed their judging styles as well as what they’ll be looking for in their future talents.
Yang Hyun Suk began, “I’m not going to purposely criticize or act over the top for the program’s sake. I’m going to speak the truth, and as opposed to praise, I’m going to explain what they lack in.”
When asked why he joined the program, he said, “Audition programs discovered stars based on their vocal talent, but this show focuses on the discovery of talents through the eyes of a professional based on not only vocal talent, but dance, looks, and skills as wells. I think that the other standard audition programs are fun to watch and have creative content, but if I were to criticize an aspect, it’d be that the stars they produce are only popular for the duration of the show, which is disappointing.”
Yang continued, “Once they make their major debut, they face thousands of other singers who sing just as great, if not better than them. There needs to be consistency, and that’s why I joined the program.”
J.Y. Park added, “We’re not in this to create a fun show. We’re in this to find the next Big Bang or the Wonder Girls. We’re not going to distort what we do for the sake of the program, and we’ll be picking and judging as we normally would.”
He continued, “On other programs, applicants need to be exceptional in dancing or singing, but in ours, we’re going to look for potential. We’ll be choosing the applicant with the highest potential of growth. There will inevitably be a difference in opinion between the viewers and our eyes.”
Commenting on the type of trainee that they’ll be choosing, the two gave contrasting answers. Yang revealed, “I’m going to pick the person who looks the most evil. They’ll need character, but I think the ones that look mean and strong on stage are the most charismatic.”
J.Y. Park replied, “I have a tendency of picking nice people. g.o.d., the Wonder Girls, and Rain are really bad at variety shows because they’re shy. I prefer people who are honest and diligent.”
‘Survival Audition K-Pop Star’ will begin broadcasting this December.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: PLEASE READ
Dear WonderfulVIPs,
Please take note of this message. To all members of the WBLuv International Forum, I believe you will have received an e-mail from the admins.
Apparently, there is a huge number of people out there who have been using other people’s work (manips, icons, etc.) without crediting the maker himself. Or worse, passing off other’s work as their own. There are also a number of people who have been editing and changing someone else’s work without the consent of the maker first.
Please, please remember to credit appropriately and ask for permission first before you decide to edit someone else’s work. If you don’t know where to find the artist, and decide to go ahead with editing, please do CREDIT the artist himself. That’s the very least you should do.
And this does not only apply to WonderBang manips or arts, but to other aspects as well. Let’s live a civil life, okay? 🙂
If you don’t know where to find the artist, to ask for permission, let me know and I’ll try my best to help you 🙂 You can:
- E-mail to wonderbang.love@gmail.com
- Tweet @WonderBangLove
- Leave a comment behind, on this post
- Leave a comment on ‘WONDERBANG EXIST’ page on Facebook.
Please spread the word regarding this. It’s not that difficult to include one line that says “Credits to ____”, right? 😀 😀
WonderBang Thread back on Soompi!
Yes yes yes! You heard it! It’s re-opened, thanks so much to the person who opened the thread and of course, Felice (Liesje) who PM-ed the person regarding the possibility of re-opening the thread! 🙂
Now we can all start celebrating! 🙂 But please, please, don’t forget about the forum (WBLuv Int’l Forum), which was there, as a place for the Fam Bam to gather when the Soompi thread was closed. 🙂 Other than that, back to spazzing and fangirling, my dear WonderfulVIPs and Fam Bam!
Here’s the link to the soompi forum: http://www.soompi.com/forums/topic/187604-w-o-n-d-e-r-b-a-n-g/
Wonder Girls & Big Bang: Top 5 Airport Fashionistas!
MTV K lists down their Top 10 Kpop Airport Fashionistas on their website, with Wonder Girls and Big Bang clenching the number 2 and 4 spots respectively!
#1 DBSK
#2 Wonder Girls
#3 SHINee
#4 Big Bang
#5 2PM
#6 SNSD
#7 Kara
#8 4Minute
#9 SS501
#10 C.N.Blue
For more info on each group, visit MTV K’s webpage! Meanwhile, read what they write up on Big Bang‘s and Wonder Girls‘ airport fashion!
# 4 BIG BANG
Maybe number 4 should go to G-Dragon rather than all of Big Bang…but T.O.P’s outrageous pants lets the entire group place on the list! Saying G-Dragon has unique fashion sense is like saying water is wet. But you sort can’t help but say it again after seeing photos of his wardrobe at an airport.
#2 WONDER GIRLS
You may agree or disagree but the Wonder Girls have the best fashion sense out of all the girls groups in private! Eclectic and eye-catching, their style isn’t overpowering and one glance and you know they’re a star.

What do you think? I absolutely agree! Though I think Big Bang could have done better on the charts! 🙂 And is it just me, or it’s so difficult to find Big Bang‘s group picture at the airport?! O_O Hmmm..
Sun Ye and Tae Yang: Most thoughtful idols
Some, or most of you might have known about this but I just found out because I just watched it today! 😀
Anyways, Sun Ye and Tae Yang made it into Pops in Seoul‘s Best 5 segment of “Most thoughtful idols who serve as role models”, clenching the No 1. and 2 spot respectively! ❤
Yay to SunTae! They are indeed very thoughtful and kind souls, aren’t they? 🙂
WonderBang participated in Naver’s “Pray For Japan” Campaign.
Musicians, athletes, and TV stars have all been participating in the “Pray For Japan“ photo support campaign, run by portal site Naver and Japan’s NHN.
The campaign asks celebrities to take a photo of themselves with a “Pray for Japan” sign on their cellphones as an act of support for the ongoing disaster relief efforts in Japan.
Their mission states, “Many celebrities are also stretching out helping hands in a time when heartfelt consolation is needed. Celebrities from various fields – music, sports, movies and so on – have sent their pictures with a ‘Pray for Japan’ message to NAVER for quake-stricken people in Japan. ‘Exhibition N’ now introduces photos sent in by celebrities with cheering messages. NAVER truly hopes that our prayers will reach people in Japan and give them courage to be able to reconstruct what was destroyed.”
Over 70 celebrities – such as Big Bang, the Wonder Girls, 2NE1, Dal Shabet, INFINITE, and JYJ – have taken part in the campaign thus far, and many more star contributions are being added each minute. Their heartfelt messages were also translated into Japanese for them to read.
————————
Wonder Girls also sent out messages for the campaign:
Lim – “I was deeply saddened to hear the tragic news about Japan. I will pray for Japan to regain stability.”
So Hee – “I pray for a rapid recovery in Japan. And I cheer for everyone in Japan. Please take heart.”
Sun Ye – “Don’t Forget that our prayers are with you always. My condolences stretch out to everyone in Japan.”
Ye Eun – “Althought it might be burdensome and painful at this moment, however if you never give up, you will certainly overcome! My prayer is always with you.”
Yoo Bin – “I am saddened by the disaster in my neighboring country. I pray for all the affected to regain stability.”

Happy Birthday Choi Seung Hyun!
VIPs and WonderfulVIPs! Don’t forget to wish him a Happy Birthday! 😀
HeeDragon on WGM?
Nah, it’s not real 😛 It’s only a survey! Even DaeSung is on the list! Not with a Wonder Girl, though.
For fun, Chinese fans of Korean entertainment tried to pair up their favorite idols to see who would make the best married couple. A survey was held on the popular Chinese website ‘baidu,‘ asking users which Korean celebrities should be a couple on “We Got Married”.
The survey included the following ‘couples’:
- 2PM’s Taecyeon and SNSD’s Yoona
- 2PM’s Wooyoung and SNSD’s Taeyeon
- T-ara’s Jiyeon and Yoo Seung Ho
- Shin Min Ah and Lee Seung Gi
- Big Bang’s G-Dragon and Wonder Girls‘ Sohee
- Yoon Si Yoon and Shin Se Kyung
- SHINee’s Minho and KARA’s Goo Hara
- Big Bang’s Daesung and KARA’s Jiyoung
The survey will be held until March of next year, but Taecyeon and Yoona are already in the lead. They hold 40.9% of the votes at the moment, beating out the other ‘couples’ in an almost untouchable way. This may be attributed to their scandal awhile back.
Minho and Goo Hara are in second place with 27.3% of the votes, because these two appeared on various shows together and had often paired up.
Third place is taken by Wooyoung and Taeyeon with 16.9%. The two were both MC’s on ‘Win Win‘.
G-Dragon/SoHee as well as Jiyeon/Yoo Seung Ho have both grabbed 14.9% of the votes. Lee Seung Gi/Shin Min Ah and Daesung/Jiyoung are middling, with Shin Se Kyung/Yoon Shi Yoon in last place.
4,000 people have taken the survey and hopefully more will participate.

Being a WonderfulVIP
Have you ever wondered why is WonderBang don’t exactly get bashed (well, only a little)? Why people are accepting of this “pairing” but not of others?
Well, read this account below to know what it truly means to be a WonderfulVIP 😀 And well, I hope you’ll follow this exemplary behaviour 😀
*Taken from the WonderBang Thread @ Soompi by purrple_lover. Take note this was during the 2007 Golden Disk Awards, behind the scenes and inside stories.

Happy 3rd Anniversary, WonderBang & WonderfulVIPs!
Hey guys! It’s 5th October! It’s been 3 years since WonderBang‘s first special stage back in 2007 and yet, 3 years later, we’re still spazzing like it was just yesterday! Wait, or is it just me? 😀
Anyways, I just wanna say, thank you to all of you for continuously supporting WonderBang, despite no collaborations last year, and truth be told, I’m totally having doubts about any collabs this year! I’m planning to mail JYP and YG, asking them to bring these 2 groups together!LOL! Wonder Girls have been giving us subtle hints on WonderBang, earlier this year, through their interviews, and variety shows! Who remembers how many times exactly Yubin said YoungBae was her ideal type? 😀
You guys, WonderfulVIPs have been great! Though there weren’t much news, you helped a lot. Reading fanfics, recommending them, taking part in our one-shot challenge at the forum, etc; I can tell you guys definitely miss WonderBang! You are not alone, remember that!
People may dissed us, saying we’re crazy to be supporting these 2 groups together, but what do they know? Like what our admin, asimpleHigh says,
WE are WonderBang
Always remember that, WonderfulVIPs. Continue spreading the WonderBang love guys~
You can leave any comment you want; messages or even a simple “I Love WonderBang“! I’m just happy to read that WonderBang still has a lot of fans left! ❤
Let’s hope something happens, this year, yeah? 😉
Happy 3rd Anniversary, WonderBang and WonderfulVIPs!
Oh! Do keep a lookout for us! I hear there’s something planned for you guys! 😉
Love,
