Rainstone (Rhee Woo Seok) of JYP Entertainment, the songwriter behind the Wonder Girls‘ Billboard Hot 100 charter Nobody, sat down with JoongAng Ilbo and dished new details regarding the pop quintet’s upcoming US debut album slated to drop this March.
JYP公司的Rainstone（Rhee Woo Seok），是進入“Billboard hot 100 榜”的nobody的幕後songwriter，跟JoongAng Ilbo坐在一起，談起了有關這個流行的五人團體將於今年三月在美國發行的出道專輯的新細節。
Rainstone explained that plans to enter the American music market have been developing for a long time, with JYPE vice-president Lee Woo-Suk beginning preparations in 2003. A graduate of Berklee College of Music, Lee also participated in the production of Nobody and Tell Me, and has been closely involved with the preparations for the Girls’ 2011 album, flying back and forth between New York and Los Angeles. Although the Girls’ American success thus far has been promising, he explained that the Girls have yet to truly begin their entrance into the US scene. ”Until now, it has only been a practice game. The Wonder Girls will begin their real, full-scale American debut this year.”
Rainstone 解釋道，計畫進入美國音樂市場已經有很長一段時間了，2003年的時候，JYPE的副社長Lee Woo-Suk就已經開始準備。畢業於伯克利音樂學院，Lee也參與制作了Nobody和Tell me，也緊密的參與了Wonder Girls 2011年的專輯準備，在紐約和洛杉磯來回往返。儘管Wonder Girls在美國的成功發展現在看來很有前景，他解釋這些女孩還沒真正的進入美國歌壇。直到現在，這只是一場練習。今年 Wonder Girls 將開始她們真正的、全面的在美國音樂市場出道。
The album is expected to have six to seven tracks, Rainstone says. Furthermore, Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins, the mind behind Michael Jackson (You Rock My World), Britney Spears (I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll), Lady Gaga (Telephone), Beyoncé (Déjà Vu), JYJ (Empty) and Se7en (Girls), and Claude Kelly, a singer-songwriter who’s worked with Miley Cyrus (Party in the USA), Britney Spears (Circus) and Jesse McCartney (Oxygen), were revealed to be heavily participating in the album.
這張專輯預期有6-7首歌，此外以上是一些歌手的歌也將大量的參與到這次的專輯裡面
Rainstone attributed the Girls’ successes to the fact that, instead of attempting to conform to current American styles of music and become totally Westernized, the Wonder Girls take advantage of their Oriental charm instead. When asked about the greatest changes that have occurred in American music in the past seven years, Rainstone answered, “They’ve got their eyes on Korean singers. Initially, one challenge was engaging with record companies because they weren’t very interested in Asian artists. But these days it’s improving. … With the American music market becoming saturated, many are beginning to turn their attention toward the Asia. Labels in America know that Korea is covering the whole Asian market.”
Rainstone將WG的成功歸功於Wonder Girls懂得利用她們的東方魅力，而不是全部去適應當前美國風格的音樂，完全西化。當問到在過去的七年間，美國音樂最大的變化是神馬，Rainstone回答道，“他們開始關注韓國歌手。最初，在跟唱片公司洽談的過程中，一個挑戰就是他們對於亞洲的歌手幾乎沒有興趣。但是現在這種情況改變了，•••隨著美國的音樂市場趨於飽和，很多開始把注意力轉向亞洲。
As a testament to the promising outlook for an Asian breakthrough in America, Rainstone revealed, “The Wonder Girls’ album will be released by one of the three major labels of America.” With Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group and EMI known as the top corporate labels dominating the music industry, fans are already wondering if one of these companies will soon be announced as the US distributor for the Wonder Girls’ American music, with many casting bids on Universal, as the company was responsible for distributing the Girls’ music in Taiwan, Malaysia, Hong Kong and other countries.
作為一個見證在美國有發展前景的亞洲團體，Rainstone說到，“WG的專輯將會被美國三大巨頭之一發行。”環球音樂，索尼音樂以及EMI是眾所周知的幾大音樂巨頭公司，粉絲們也開始希望其中的哪一個公司將會不久後宣佈作為美國發行商發行WG的美國專輯，隨著其他各地的邀請，公司將在臺灣，馬來西亞，香港以及其他一些地區進行WG的新專輯的銷售。
Until further announcements reveal more details, we can only speculate. Stay tuned to allkpop for more on the Wonder Girls’ long-awaited comeback!
至於更詳細的細節，只能等待更多的消息。期待已久的Wonder Girls的重返

The consistent charity work the Wonder Girls have been involved in has touched the hearts of netizens.
Since 2008, the Wonder Girls volunteered at an infants home in Gyeonggi-do, Kwangju.
The home was created under the aim to create a safe environment for infants with disabilities to grow and learn. Although each of the members took part in the volunteer work, Ye Eun took a step further by personally donating $10,000 USD for the surgery of an infant born with a deformed finger. For six months after the surgery, Ye Eun continued to make contributions towards the child’s health. Thanks to her help, the child is now able to move her fourth and fifth fingers.
A representative of the facility commented, “The Wonder Girls members visited often for volunteer work, and Yeeun even contributed towards surgery fees. The members themselves did not want their acts to be reported to the public, and requested that we keep it a secret.”
Sunye was also found to have donated to an orphanage in Gyeonggi-do, Paju. A representative of the facility revealed, “The members came for volunteer work. The fact that they did not even wear any make up while participating made them that much more beautiful. Sunye especially quietly did her work and shed many tears while looking after the children.”
This isn’t the first time Sunye’s done a charitable act. Earlier, she was reported to have helped out an elderly man living in a mud hut in the mountains, toured a museum with orphans & children from low-income families, as well as several donations towards an orphanage in Eunpyung-gu.
Even while the group was busy with their U.S. activities in 2009, the girls continued their charitable acts. At the end of every year, JYP Entertainment artists visit the Samsung Medical Center for a free concert for the patients there.
A representative of JYPE confirmed, “It is true that Ye Eun donated. Not only Sunye and Ye Eun, but the other members take part in charity work as well. The members do not want this to reach the public, as they do these acts with pure hearts. It seems like they’re worried about people misinterpreting their intentions if such news reaches the public. The girls also do take part in the company’s year-end charity performances at the Samsung Medical Center.”
