The Wonder Girls, under the care of Park Jin Young, debuted on February 10th, 2007 with their first single "Irony". They are JYP's first ever girl group and so people had a lot of expectation from them. Before their stage debut, the girls' were on a reality tv show, "MTV Wonder Girls" where they showed their fans how they prepared for their debut. It also introduced each member to the audience. Starting with leader Min SunYe, rapper Kim HyunAh, mandu Ahn SoHee, 4D Sun Mi, and finally introducing their newest member to the team, talented Park YeEun.

In late July, rapper Kim HyunAh was pulled out of the group due to her health problem (chronic gastroenteritis) and was replaced with Kim YuBin, a trainee sent from Good Entertainment. She debuted 3 days later with the rest of the members singing their hit song "Tell Me" on KBS Music Bank. Their first full length album was released on September 13th, 2007. The song quickly climbed up the charts and the girls' received their first win, against idol boy band Big Bang, on November 9th, 2007. The dance became a huge hit that it's known as the "Tell Me Virus" and that had earned the girls the title "Korea's Little Sister".

Their "Wonder Years" promotion ended in late 2007 and the girls' flew to New York to feature in Park JinYoung's "JYP Tour" along with other JYP artist like, Min, G-Soul, and Lim JeongHee. They also recorded their music video "Wishing On A Star" ft. Sohee and SunMi. While in New York, they recorded their third season of "MTV Wonder Girls".

The Wonder Girls returned to South Korea in the spring of 2008 and released their new hit single, "So Hot" in the summer. The song quickly topped charts and the girls' won their first award during their comeback stage on KBS Music Bank.

They finally ended their "So Hot" promotions in late summer and release their highly anticipated 3rd single, "Nobody" early autumn. The song reached to #1 on KBS Music Bank for 4 consecutive weeks and this also created the "Nobody Craze". At the end of the year awards the girls' won three awards, including "Song of the Year" and "Best Music Video" for "Nobody", and "Best Female Group" at the Mnet KM Music Festival. The group also won an award at the 2008 Golden Disk Awards for high digital sales. At the 18th Seoul Music Awards, the Wonder Girls won the Daesang ("Artist of the Year" award) for "Nobody", along two other awards. They won against big artist like DBSK, Big Bang, Lee Hyori, and Rain making them the top girl group of the year.

Right after the promotions of "Nobody" ended, the girls' started to get ready for their first ever concert. Having a their own concert was a big achievement because the last time a girl group held a concert was 10 years ago from girl group "Fin.K.L". They were also the first girl group to hold an overseas concert.
The concert kicked off in Thailand then went to the United States (heading 3 concerts LA, OC, and NY) and then finally ending two concerts in South Korea (Busan and Seoul). After the concert ended the girls' packed their bags and flew to their JYP Headquarters in New York where they had the opportunity to be one of the opening acts for mega boy band Jonas Brothers.

The Wonder Girls' released their English version of "Nobody" on June 26th, 2009 and began their tour with the Jonas Brothers on June 27th, 2009 coincidentally the same day as Sohee's birthday. They were originally suppose to open for only 13 cities but because of their quick thinking (during a performance where the staffs forgot to bring out their mics), they were asked to stay on tour for all 45 cities.

After the tour ended, the girls went back to their home in New York and started working on their first English album, that is set to release sometime in November of 2009.

While recording their first English album, the girls joined with the teen store "Justice" and promoted their "Nobody" song, that was selling for $1 (in order to introduce it to other possible fans). This marketing tactic was a huge success that it landed the girls on the main BillBoard Chart, ranking at #76 on October 22nd, 2009.

When the girls were on the chart, they few back to South Korea to film for their new CF (Mori Coffee) and there they held a press conference to talk about their advance into the USA Market, their feeling about getting on the BillBoard Charts, and their upcoming future plans in both America and China.

After flying back to the States, several days later the girls' flew back to Korea to prepare for their Shanghai concert in December. For that reason the girls' first USA debut album has been pushed back to next year February 2010.

On January 22nd, 2010 shocking news came to WonderFuls all over the world as JYPE announced member Sun Mi's withdrawal from the group. Within a few hours, JYPE announced that Hae Lim will be taking over Sun Mi's spot as she (Sun Mi) continued her studies.
