Wonder Girls hold dance contest

JYP Entertainment announced yesterday that it is holding a “Wonder Girls Cover Dance Contest” with the Korea Tourism Organization. The agency first posted the contest information on its Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/wondergirlsworld) on Monday.

Regardless of nationality, gender and age, anyone can form a group of less than five people and then upload a video of themselves dancing to the choreography of K-pop group Wonder Girls’ new song “Be My Baby” on YouTube. The Wonder Girls will personally view the uploaded videos and select the winning five teams - three overseas teams and two Korean teams. The contest accepts videos until the end of this month and will announce the winning teams on Dec. 5 on JYP’s Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/jypcorp).

“It is important to keep the originality of the choreography as each team adds their characteristic and creativity in it,” said a member of Wonder Girls, according to JYP Entertainment. The winning teams will have a chance to visit the JYP Entertainment office in Cheongdam, southern Seoul, and meet the Wonder Girls in mid-December. Winning overseas teams will be sponsored to travel to Korea through the Korea Tourism Organization.
