They are produced by singer-songwriter Park Jin-Young and are signed to his talent agency, JYP Entertainment.Each of the five original members were selected through auditions. Ye Eun was the last member to be added, in her 5th JYP Wonder Girls audition.Debuting in 2007, they became popular in fall of that year with the single "Tell Me." Korean debut The Wonder Girls debuted on February 10, 2007 on Show! Music Core, singing "Irony", the hip-hop single from their debut mini-album, The Wonder Begins. The mini-album went on to become a minor hit, selling 11,454 copies in 2007. Throughout the rest of 2007, however, the Wonder Girls were beset by various injuries and health problems. On June 25, member Ahn So Hee was sidelined for a month after tearing a knee ligament falling off a motorcycle during the filming of (Some Like It Hot). The remaining four members continued performing until late July, when Kim Hyun A was pulled from the group by her parents due to their concern over her health—in particular, chronic gastroenteritis which had her hospitalized briefly in March and April. On September 14, 2007, the group (including their manager and stylist) were briefly hospitalized with minor injuries while returning from a performance at Dong-Eui Institute of Technology in Busan. The van in which they were travelling rear-ended a taxi, killing the driver of the taxi and injuring fourty-seven others. On September 5, 2007, Good Entertainment, talent agency for the popular boy band Shinhwa, signed their trainee Kim Yoo Bin over to JYP as a replacement for Hyun A. She debuted three days later in the group's live performance on Music Bank. Their first full-length album, The Wonder Years, was released the following week, on September 13, 2007, with "Tell Me", a 1980s-style disco-themed song that sampled Stacey Q's Two of Hearts, as the lead song. Due to the last-minute addition of Kim Yoo Bin, the album version does not contain her part; however, the performance version of the song was reworked to include a bridge with Kim's rap. The album became a hit, briefly reaching #1 on various television and Internet charts, including KBS's Music Bank. The choreography for the song was simple and widely imitated: by October, many fan performances of the dance were circulating on video sharing sites such as Youtube and Daum, including one by a group of policemen who were eventually profiled on SBS's Star King. Many celebrities also put in their own performances, including Shin Hye Sung and Hong Kyung-min at their fan meetings, in addition to many celebrities on various Korean television programs. Due to the popularity of the single, the group has had an extensive promotional schedule, including group-only and crossover performances on music shows, variety show appearances, and special performances and programs for various year-end music specials. By December, the Wonder Girls moved on to "pabo" (Fool), their second single. However, the girls planned to cut back on their schedule to prepare for their college entrance examinations. As of February 2008, they have ceased promotion of their album
