Wonder Girls成員宣美離團

超人氣的南韓女子流行樂團Wonder Girls換新血，原本成員當中18歲的宣美，在完成長達一年的美國巡迴演唱後，於二月份離開了這個五人女子樂團。

根據美國告示牌排行榜官網的資料，單曲《Nobody》在2009年時，擊敗了瑪麗亞凱莉、女神卡卡與碧昂絲等人，奪下當年度暢銷單曲榜的榜首。不僅如此，在今年十月底時，單曲《Nobody》依然佔據告示牌百大單曲榜第76名的位置，成績亮眼。

宣美離開後的空缺，將由同樣18歲的惠林 (Hye Lim) 替補。已經花了三年時間栽培的惠林，據說是為了吸引中國粉絲而入團，能說一口流利的英語、華語與粵語。

在2007年粉墨登場時，Wonder Girls就連續以單曲《Tell Me》、《So Hot》與《Nobody》，奪下單曲榜的冠軍寶座。而未來，還將發行首張英曲專輯。
