WONDER GIRLS Comeback with "Like This" MV


       Korea's popular girl band Wonder Girls is making their official comeback with their mini-album "Wonder Party" and the release of a new music video to their title track called "Like This." Wonder Girls have always been known for their brazen confidence and Americanized style, and if I loved their songs before, I definitely love the vibe from this new track. The song is about letting go of your stress and dancing to enjoy the moment. To capture the carefree, fun vibe of the song, JYP Entertainment went all out for the music video, hiring 300 extras, preparing for 112 days, utilizing 500 crew members and special equipment which includes a flying drone. In the music video, the member start out dancing in a loose circle in the middle of a  busy shopping plaza. Hundreds of people are milling around the quad area, and they soon get into the carefree dance vibe. The members are all dressed in bright neon yet casual civilian clothing, but what really garners attention is their dance choreography, which consists of funky and fresh dance moves reminiscent of an energetic B-boy style. Eventually, the crowd starts getting into the music, and many people start dancing or bobbing their heads. My favorite part is the chorus, where they break it down with the cue, "Like this...."

What with all the energetic footwork, I'm surprised that Wonder Girls are so smooth in the live performance of their new track, "Like This." Their last title track, "Be My Baby" was more difficult and required more energy to perform, but it took a lot from their live vocal quality, as it was so fast with such high notes. I'm glad this new song has an awesome, fun dance as well as great vocal performance. Check out their comeback stages below:

Also, as of June 12th, 2012, Wonder Girls achieved their first #1 win for "Like This" on SBS Inkigayo. Since they've barely started promoting, the wins are bound to roll in within the coming weeks.
