2NE1 and Wonder
Girls have recently been voted as the top two girl groups with
biggest potential to break into US and become contenders for US new pop
princesses.
From
July 27th to August 9th, Internet Education Group SevenEduM organized
a poll to vote for the Korean girl group with the most potential to make
it in the States. At the end, 49% voted for 2NE1 and behind was Wonder
Girls receiving 13%.
Poll
representative Cha Gil Young shared, “Will.I.Am, who
will be producing 2NE1′s US debut album, visited Korea this past May and
stopped by YG. He sat down with CEO Yang
Hyun Suk, YG’s main producer Teddy, as well the 2NE1 members to discuss
their debut. 2NE1 will also be holding their global tour NEW EVOLUTION and
performing in New Jersey, LA, and more. So for a number of reasons, 2NE1 looks
as though they can successfully break into the US market and I think that is
why they were selected as #1.”
He
added, “Wonder Girls are also garnering more attention after the release of
their new single Like Money, and they are receiving a lot of spotlight in the
US media due to their history.”
Meanwhile,
trailing behind the Wonder Girls were T-ara, Girls’ Generation, SISTAR,
f(x), Miss A, KARA, After School, and 4minute.
