South Korean girl group Wonder Girls has made the list of "100 Things to Watch in 2010" announced by JWT, a global marketing communications network.
"With their good looks, slick packaging, infectious pop songs and trend-setting videos, this South Korean girl group has conquered Asia and has its sights on the rest of the world," it said on the Web site of its advertising unit JWT Intelligence (jwtintelligence.com).
"The Girls, who recently became the first Korean act to crack the Top 100 Billboard chart in the U.S., will release their next U.S. album in February," it added.
In the alphabetical list, the group placed 99th.
The global ad company's recognition of the five Korean members is expected to add a fresh impetus to the group's activities in the American market.
"It's a nice surprise that Wonder Girls attracted the attention of the world-class ad company less than one year after they made their American debut," said an official from JYP Entertainment, the agency for Wonder Girls. "It's meaningful that it acknowledged their potential."
