The band’s agency JYP Entertainment announced on Dec. 3 that the movie made for television will air through the American cable TV channel Teen Nick. The agency added, “The movie was produced by the approval of Mariah Carey’s husband Nick Cannon, who is also the channel’s president. The band will be the first Asian group to star in a television movie made for the American audience.” “The Wonder Girls” movie will incorporate a lot of episodes the band has actually encountered as well as fictional scenarios that might happen to similar bands. “It’s part reality and part fiction, which makes the show a lot more interesting,” said JYP Entertainment.
