Five people have bid a total of 20 million Won(about USD 20,000) for the opportunity to have dinner with the Wonder Girls. The bidding was carried out by Auction(eBay’s Korean arm), and the proceeds of the auction will go to charity. As for the five, they will have dinner and enjoy a date with the Wonder Girls on Dec. 6th. Not that I am criticizing a charitable event, but has the “sale” of the girls themselves already begun?

Is it bad that I’m imagining that they’ve already done this so much not for charity, that they decided to change things up a bit and do it once for charity?
Does the 20 million include “dessert?”
Auctions involving stars in one shape or another happen all the time. Here, there, everywhere. Not a big deal, guys. It’s 100% PR. If the girls also happen to make themselves feel happy and do some good at the same time, then that’s even better, right? And, if the ignorant masses love the wonder girls even more unconditionally than before, who are we to say they are irredeemable?
I just wish I had that kind of money to blow on the dinner. Then I’d buy a really nice trip to Europe or something like that.
If I have 20 million to spend, can I have all of them Wonderbra Girls at once?
Nice that their handlers are whoring them out for a good cause (really).
What is the charity by the way? The Foundation for the Augmentation of Underdeveloped Entertainers?
That would then not be such a good cause…or would it…hmmmm……..
You guys are way too cynical. Even for me.
Jessica Biel auctioned off a dinner date for $30,000 to raise money for a Colorado girl who lost her leg in a prom-night accident, and nothing sinister was implied. A date with Jessica Biel for $30,000 seems like a screaming bargain if the Wonder Girls go for W20 million!
I heard all the fuss about the Wonder Girls just recently, and wondered what the big deal was. I was under the impression that they were talentless Lolitas who had created yet another farcical “wave” in Korea.
Anyways, after seeing their video on YouTube…I felt strange. First of all, strange and uncomfortable with the fact that I was slightly turned on. And I wanted to see more. The song was oddly catchy, and the dance moves etc. brought me back to memories of the Spice Girls…and yes indeed I DID want to be their lover. But these girls….13 or 14? This is wrong!
So I asked around and heard the youngest was 17 and the oldest 21. Fact or fiction I don’t know. But 21 is a bit young even for me who has yet to cross the line to 30. But no denying the fact that plaid mini-skirts will get any man’s attention. Most men have a love/hate relationship with this kind of sexual torment.
So, I checked out some live performances, and recalled what one poster recently wrote on this site. Dude, you were way off the mark. Sure, they aren’t Madonna, and they are not great singers or great dancers…but they sure as hell can sing and dance around and command some attention better than you or I can. Probably even better than your sister and her friend’s sister’s friend. These girls were hand-picked from the legions of lovelies and they pull it off. Sorry if you don’t like pop music and cheesiness, but lots of people do and this “wave” is more valid than most of the others I have seen.
The “UCC” generated is, admittedly, entertaining.
So, thumbs up to the Wonder Girls. Too sexy? Indeed. Cheesey and reeking of bubble gum? Yes sir. If I had 20 million won to waste, damn right I’d go hang with the Wonder Girls at Outback.
To those of you who are so ardently against these young ladies, I question the source of your angst. Probably time to go home and let Avril Lavigne do your head in for a while.
Jessica Biel is pretty hot.
“Jessica Biel auctioned off a dinner date for $30,000 to raise money for a Colorado girl who lost her leg in a prom-night accident, and nothing sinister was implied. A date with Jessica Biel for $30,000 seems like a screaming bargain if the Wonder Girls go for W20 million!”
That comes to 4 million per Wondergirl.
Still, Jessica Biel. She got to be, like, 10 times hotter than any of those girls. $30,000 is a 25% off sale.
Dead on, dinkus maximus.
I bet those who cry the loudest about kiddie porn and Wondergirls, are also the ones who get their peckers raised while watching them. There’s no shame in the fact that you are attracted to them.
‘To those of you who are so ardently against these young ladies, I question the source of your angst….’
the source is korean men. that’s an easy one.
Sorry, there’s a lotta things that gets my “pecker raised”, but watching a 14-year-old girl in whore makeup isn’t one of them.
Those who ASSUME that the REST of us heterosexual men are getting all honry over a 14-year old who can’t dance are simply projecting your arousal, far more than I am repressing any guilt about me secretly getting wood over a girl the same age as the ones I teach.
I’ve been responsible for the teaching of girls just that same age, and trust me when I say that the thought of girls that age gyrating on stage causes consternation not because of suppressed lust, but actual disgust at that kind of behavior.
I guess that’s where me and ya’ll with “raised peckers” over flat-chested middle school girls differ.
“Those who ASSUME that the REST of us heterosexual men are getting all honry over a 14-year old who can’t dance are simply projecting your arousal,”
According to Wikipedia, the two youngest members are 15, and will be 16 by the first half of next year (born in May and June 1992). They hadn’t quite turned 15 yet when they first started, but they had by the time “Tell Me” was released in September.
Or is this information wrong? Are they actually 14?
I am sure Jessica Biel was the source of her charity gig. On the other hand, I don’t think this was the creation of the WonderGirls. Their handlers probably came up with it.
My disdain runs deep for all girl/boy bands. I think I am still scarred from NKOTB when I was in high school.
Jessica Biel is hot, the Wonder Girls are not. The Wonder Girls aren’t worth that much, Lee Hyo ri maybe, but barely. Getting turned on by a buch of teenie boppers is kinda sick.
Jessica Biel is so genetically blessed. Hair, eyes, face, and boobs can be faked, but there is no faking a perfect butt. Even exercise alone can’t achieve a perfect butt. One must be blessed with genes that deposit fat in the right places.
Are THESE the faces that are supposedly launching a thousand erections?

Ack! I guess there’s only so much a plastic surgeon can do.
“Still, Jessica Biel. She got to be, like, 10 times hotter than any of those girls. $30,000 is a 25% off sale.”
There’s certainly something to say about large breasted gym toned women.
#18,
LOL.
#18,#20 The sad thing is that the Wonder Girls are considered by the bulk of my female freshman students to be something to aspire to in terms of beauty. I don’t get it. The Wonder Girls look like Korean/alien hybrids to me.
Hmm, I’ve noticed that in general, Asian culture tends have a different perception of what looks good. IE, they seem to prefer a mellow/soft look, so I’m actually not surprised that girls look up to them. Yeah, they aren’t really hot, probably see better looking girls on the street, and in turn, I had Korean people confused at the girls I thought looked good…for example, someone like Jessica Biel, people would think she looks pretty but dumb, clumsy, and crude (not my opinion, I swear!). Perceptions are changing but still somewhat prevalent it seems.
#21,
I was laughing not only at the fact that, yeah, that’s a pretty bad picture, but also at the quip she made.
“Are THESE the faces that are supposedly launching a thousand erections?”
It’s a substitution. The original line is by Christopher Marlowe.

Sonagi is one witty lady.
i don’t ususally say to mush on threads like these because the expat makes himself look bad on his own; no need for my assitance. having said that, let me say this:
a couple years ago, i saw a discover program on human sexuality. i only remember two things from that show but i’ll just tell you about one: scientists wanted know what kind of female body was the most attractive to males. they collected data. they tabulated it and were a bit embarrassed about their findings. you see, they discovered the most attrctive female form was to be found in a…drumroll, please…a fourteen year old girl!
how’s that grab ya, metro? yeah, i know, go ahead and attack the source. me thinks you do protests a bit too much.
oh, and btw, let’s hope that korean rap artists don’t start rapping about bithces and hoz. that’d be a real shame, right?
Bah, Pawi. Don’t know what you’re getting at, not sure you know yourself, but sexual attraction isn’t that simple, and, no, most men are not attracted to 14 year-olds.
Here’s one about sexual attraction being linked to the size of a person’s lips:

Here’s one that suggests it may be linked to pheromones:

Sure, research has found that men are attracted to youth…youth being 2.5 to 7.5 years younger.

I’m a straight man, but I’ve never understood foot fetishism.
Could you explain it for me?
So much the better. Leave all the robustly good-looking ones for us stupid foreigners, and all the bag-of-bones alien autopsy chickies for the Koreans. Everyone’s happy that way. Except pawikirogi — he’s a miserable son of a bitch.
Honestly, I think it’s great that standards are different, creating opportunities for sexual arbitrage. For example, I’m “very handsome” here in Korea, while in the United States I’m merely “good-looking”. And I don’t think that more than half of the “Beauties” on the Beauties’ Chatterbox are in fact beauties. But here in Korea, they are. Good for them.
I don’t understand foot fetishism either.
Jessica Biel too clumsy and crude-looking for Koreans? Great.
yeah, right! one of the reasons you folks are so interested in asian women, is they look like girls. hardyandtidy admitted as much on a recent thread. that’s why it was so funny to see you all go berzerk over some k-pop grounp.
now, let me impart some wisdom so that you can understand:
an ugly black man can be a good looking black man in europe.
moving on, may i offer you some poetry?
‘now, this, this is one of them occasions where the homey isn’t doing raht. you see, he say he gotta a ho that he like, but ya can’t make a ho a housewife. now, when it all boils down in the end, a bitch is a bitch but a dog is a man’s best friend. so what he gotta a ho that he like? you can’t make a ho a housewife….’ dr dre rap song
perhaps, our priorities are misplaced.
“yeah, right! one of the reasons you folks are so interested in asian women, is they look like girls.”
Spoken like the clueless kid that you are.
