The Wonder Girls are named as one of eight ¡°girl groups: ones to watch¡± by Britain¡¯s Virgin Media.

It described the Korean group¡¯s music as ¡°candyfloss pop aimed squarely at the female teen market,¡± and recommended listening out for its latest hit song ¡°So Hot¡±.
JYP Entertainment, the group¡¯s agency, said The Wonder Girls was the only Asian girl-group on Virgin Media¡¯s list.
¡°Since the news broke, the band's online music videos have been bombarded with a million hits. It seems that the performance the girls gave with other JYP singers, including Park Jin-young in the U.S. in February, has played an instrumental role in their popularity,¡± it said.
