First, you must know. I’m not a big fan of Wonder Girls. At first, I didn’t like them at all, but now, I’m starting to think they’re okay. To me, their voices aren’t strong enough yet. I wouldn’t say they’re relying on their image either. It’s impressive of them to sing live at their perfs. Their songs are catchy, but from what I know, they don’t take part in the writing or choreography. I’m still getting used to them. So don’t think I hate them or anything.

That said, I’d like to talk about their new single “So Hot” (if you haven’t seen it yet, here’s a link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=W2Zq04OMWVI&feature=related). A few people thought the song was conceited, BUT it’s believed that the song is actually a PARODY of the rich/famous (U.S perhaps?). I didn’t think of the MV either ways until I read other people’s comments. I think it’s a parody. Exaggerated hair-flipping, a fake dog under the arm, tripping on the red carpet, and more too. (If you’ve watched the MV, you’d know.) Anyway, the concern I’m addressing is the fact that Sohee and Sunmi are pretty young(15 and 16 respectively), and they have to promote this sexy image. It’s not in their control, so I wouldn’t even think of labeling them sluts. I believe the company could’ve toned the two’s sexiness down a bit though(like choreography, which I’ll talk about in a bit). If you’ve seen the pre-realeased images of them promoting the MV, Sohee is wearing a short dress surrounded by adult male photographers/paparazzi. Well, of course adult male papparazzi, there’s prolly not many female or kid paps out there. But when you look at the pic, sure it’s glam, but because of her age, it just feels weird, not right. Also, some believe the dance is too provocative. I don’t think it’s too provocative, that’s the concept, but only for the older members. Sohee and Sunmi still shouldn’t be dancing parts of it. The dance could’ve been choreographed so that they do other routines instead of the most provocative ones.

At first, this started as a comment under Idol Birthdays, but it grew quite long, so I turned it into a post. Below is exactly what the comment would’ve been if I had posted it.

OMFG, two of the Wondergirls are so young! Sohee’s only 15??! That new MV, “So Hot”.. what kind of image is that for a 15 year-old?! True, she IS 17 in k-age, but she’s still a kid. >:O

Interesting comment I found on YouTube: “it’s a shame to see innocent lambs, like the baby faced so hee shaking her butt like there’s no tomorrow.” This person couldn’t have summarized it more clearly or humorously.
here’s anthor one: “I actually like it, but uh…anyone else see something wrong with SoHee and SunMi being “sexy” like that LOL Didn’t they just graduate middle school. LOL Hmm… “
=O and another…: “no-no-no JYP you shouldn’t make the 15yr. old be a sex sale..you shouldn’t let her dress like that… “
xD about Miley Cyrus?: “people in america are freaking out about miley cyrus, who’s the same age, taking “scandalous” pictures, but even she wouldn’t do a dance like this, unless she really truly wanted to break out of the tween role model status. “
