Compilation of reactions from various community:
- Why...
- What will that Yubin do now
- Then... start... planning... now
- Cheated my feelings
- I do not want to hear this!!!
- Hull ㅠㅠ
- Time to move on. The ones who have clear idea of what they want will do better e.g. Sohee, Sunye, Sunmi
- Besides Sunye and Yeeun, the others can't sing
- At least they are not disbanding, there is still hope
- I miss Wonder Girls... I want to hear their songs...
- It is not wise to recruit a new member and Sohee is going to be busy with her new movie soon... this is expected
- Without their visual (Sohee) and best singer (Sunye), they can't really function well... don't tell me about the other members being as pretty or sing as well... you won't understand the public who see the group lost their two most iconic members.
- I miss Wonder Girls!!!
- Disappointed with JYP

Follow-up: Yubin's instagram clarification

I have been receiving several questions on why some Korean fans seemed to be mad at Yubin even after her clarification.

After fans left supportive comments on Yubin's IG, Yubin made the following clarification:
I'm sorry if I have worried you, but I was just uploading a song that I recommend. Please do not misunderstand.

However, some fans refuted that it is not purely her photo that made fans worried, but because of her tag '#내얘긴줄' (#talkingaboutme).

- Putting the tag #talkingaboutme will no doubt make fans worry
- You shouldn't have put the tag then
- Shouldn't you have expected fans' reactions when you put that tag --
- You mislead your followers and now telling us it's a joke and not to misunderstand? So annoying.
- The tag #talkingaboutme is the main cause of concern

Bestiz: Concerns for Yubin grow

- The lack of talent is idol's woe. went on some pathetic beauty show program and nothing else... at least yeeun has the ability to go solo
- Why does Yubin have to vent her frustration on instagram in public
- If only JYP did not bring them to America
- If you are not getting anything at JYPE, why did you renew your contract? You should have left and sign under another company like Sohee.
- Hyerim, Yeeun and Yubin... poor them
- She was the one who renewed her contract... but does not have any solo activities... I wish she improved on her skills or do something being debuting as a solo.
- Yubin is charming. I hope to see her activity soon.
- Why did you renew then?
- Without Sohee and Sunye, this group can't function.

Fans fretting over Yubin's Instagram post

On 24 March, Yubin posted on her instagram a portion of the lyrics from Hyukoh's 'Wiing Wiing'. The lyrics are as follows:

Jobless and idling around
I look so pathetic
I feel so sorry
Wiing Wiing (sound of insect) 
Even the mayfly seems to be mocking the pathetic me

Seeing this set of lyrics, Wonderfuls started leaving many comments on her instagram and official WG cafe, as well as created several threads about her on WG DC gallery.

Instagram
- Onnie. I will always be rooting for you. That's the best I can do. I can't comfort you up close, so these are the words to say to comfort you and help you find strength. Whatever happens, I will be there. There are many people who are like me. I hope you think of the fans and find strength. Onnie is always so bright and sparkling to me. Just like a star. I hope the day we meet again is not far away. I miss you a lot.
- Wonderful will be cheering you on!!!
- No matter what happened, I will always support onnie!!


WG Official Cafe
- Yubin onnie saranghae. I will always support you as well as Sunye, Sohee, Yeeun, Sunmi and Lim. I love onnie an awful lot!
- I was stunned to see her post. Shedding tears... ah... I do not know why things turned out this way
- What do you mean being idle... Yubin featured in a foreign rookie's song and helped it to first place on one of the Billboard charts. Compared to her peers, Yubin ran straight ahead without thinking twice... now that it seems exhausting, I will continue to cheer for you! Let your bright personality shine through!!! Do not post such things... ㅠㅠㅠ it hurts... ㅠㅠㅠ
- What's wrong Yub...
- ㅠㅠㅠ

WG DC gallery
- Kim Yubin is a real disappointment. Instead of whining and wallowing in self-pity, she should work on self-development. Tsk, almost 30 years old.
- It seriously sucks to come to read posts on WG DCgallery nowadays. When Sunmi was home-sicked and chose to go on hiatus, you guys said she betrayed the group. You should know how hard it was for her to be working far away from home. When Sunye announced her marriage and became a mother, I can understand her because of her tough childhood. I know it is a big impact to the group yet I tried to be understanding. However, the people here couldn't, and cursed her. To me, her going to Haiti is not a bad thing either. As for Sohee, we all know how much she wanted to act. When Sunmi came out as a female solo and won first place, I was happy. I was also glad that Yeeun came out as solo. However, when I saw the reactions here, I was disappointed. The fans here called the members rude names like betrayal-mi (Sunmi), Min Jesus (Sunye) and So-ahjumma (Sohee). Because of this, the fandom split. Sohee fans stayed at Sohee DC gallery and the same goes for Sunmi fans. Sunye fans totally left the gallery. Yubin and Lim fans stayed quiet and low-profile. The WG DC gallery has become Yeeun DC galley and other members' antis.
- Where is her talent?

Naver: Hyerim's whereabouts, showing off a perfect body

[+115, 9] She is the most unlucky member in Wonder Girls

[+84, -6] Only the name of this legendary group remains

[+57, -6] Once her contract ends she will return to her own country haha

[+32, -1] Perfect body? How do you see it from this squatting position?

[+30, -2] JYP needs to settle this personally. Either disband Wonder Girls, or remove the members (Sunye and Sohee) who do not wish to continue as singers and add new members... what wrong did she commit? She joined Wonder Girls late but her period as a singer was so short.

[+30, -2] Poor thing, she could have done better if she debuted in Miss A

[+38, -12] Wonder Girls is virtually over now

[+39, -18] Out of those foreign idols who came to Korea to make a living, she is the worst of them all. Wonder Girls disbanded after Sunye's marriage...

[+20, -1] Show me where is the perfect body

[+12, -0] Wonder Girls is nothing without Sohee and Sunye...

Nate: Sunmi's short skirt

[+308, -49] On stage... is she afraid of not being able to take it off

[+274, -29] Don't wear the skirt at your chest, at the very least wear it below your belly button

[+163, -21] This girl... she thinks she is attractive.

[+21, -11] Why is she wearing like that

[+15, -11] This girl is such an attention-seeker

[+13, -1] She wore her skirt so high up so as to make her legs appear long? Even higher than a high-waist pants ㅋ

As requested.

[+69, -4] Yoon Mirae's skills is a wall nobody can climb over

[+61, -3] Sonamoo???

[+52, -7] Yoon Mirae and CL are cool

[+39, -3] Other than Yoon Mirae and CL, I have no idea who are the rest

[+23, -5] Yoon Mirae is the best rapper domestically

[+23, -5] Yoon Mirae's talent is indisputable, CL is fine... but the rest...

[+20, -4] I agree with Yoon Mirae, CL and Kemy being in the list... but why is Wonder Girls Yubin in the list? -- Sigh... 'Everywhere, anytime the spotlight follows me' (WG So Hot rap lyrics)

[+15, -0] There were 3 rappers who went on 'Show me the money' and embarrassed themselves (Miryo, LE and Tymee). Their skills are way off from Yoon Mirae's. As for CL, she is lacking in wordplay, a technique which is the pride of underground rappers (but CL doesn't seem to mind much). However, CL has her own style and good rhythm, so I ranked her second. LE should be ranked third even though her performance on 'Show me the money' was just average and criticized by Outsider, she is worthy of the MC title. The fourth spot goes to Kemy who is not in this list, her diss track on Park Bom was well-written.

[+15, -1] Yubin and Sonamoo skills are just average ㅋㅋ

[+86, -10] Only start paddling when the boat is sinking... what is this?

[+74, -15] Ah, missing Wonder Girls. Nowadays, seems like there isn't a song that can be compared to Tell Me.

[+48, -5] Long time no see Yubin ㅋㅋ

[+49, -14] What is she surviving on now? ㅋㅋ

[+48, -20] What is Wonder Girls?

[+13, -1] This is really a group that succeeded because of JYP and failed because of JYP.

[+33, -5] She is screwed case because of Sunye. Also, JYP doesn't give her a solo.

[+13, -6] Other than having a married idol in the group, Wonder Girls songs are great.

[+12, -7] What's her individual activities?

[+9, 0] Just had a bath. And here's a certification shot of pretty Yubin.

[+520, -6] Can't even hear her voice ㅋㅋ and the camera is focusing on the wrong things

[+421, -10] Just didn't like this gayo daejun stage

[+406, -5] Did she not rehearse? Just a once-a-year stage, why is she like that?

[+296, -6] The choice of the screencaps ㅋㅋ

[+215, -12] Taecyeon, my fault for not protecting you ㅠㅠ

[+41, -5] Whether it is Sunmi or Taecyeon, I'm sure the fancam version will be better.

[+2068, -59] The makeup looks good... but the clothes... and that rag of a hair... did the coordi not receive her salary?

[+1907, -43] Looking like an ahjumma~

[+1458, -55] Pretty but who is the coordi?

[+1051, -30] Duck? Ostrich? She looks like a bird.

[+1032, -57] Wasn't Lena the original featuring artiste? This guy's rap is pretty good.

[+307, -8] Sunmi debuted with Wonder Girls 7 years ago... but she is only 23 years old now.

[+395, -38] Sunmi-ya... you are not suitable for sexy concept... you seemed pure and innocent back when you were in Wonder Girls... what a shame ㅠㅠ

[+362, -55] After such a long hiatus I thought she would have practiced her singing, but here she calls herself a singer and yet lip-sync.

[+240, -45] Just...ugly

[+27, -11] Ahjumma

[+24, -3] JYP can't seem to get the hair, makeup and outfit right. She suits straight hair better.

The Sunye Issue

There had been many articles these days on Sunye's supposedly lack of interest in showbiz . Netizens' comments have already been translated by NB.

It became a big concern among the Korean Wonderfuls when comments were made of Sunye's faith and religion. The netizens who made these comments were ill-informed of what exactly Sunye was doing as a missionary and the discrimination level against missionary is high. I will translate some of the clarifications or points raised about Sunye's missionary activities.

Yes, Sunye did say things like she would like to spread the gospel, but that is all in the larger context of things. She is not going to be stalking outside mosque to convert people or point a gun at someone to force them to convert. She is only sharing about her religion through her actions of helping people, and through that, there may be some people who will embrace the love of God. The choice is ultimately up to the person. Sure there may be some missionaries who do otherwise, but those are just the bad apples of the bunch.

The points below are based on accounts from people whom she had helped and people whom she worked with:

1) She gives help (donations and physical help), within her ability, to people in need, regardless of religion.

2) She does not force anyone to convert to her religion.

3) She does not go around Haiti telling people to convert. She only gives testimony at churches or other Christian-related events/venue.

4) In Haiti, she cooks for the volunteers and helped out with the logistics.

5) Her organization is mainly involve in a worker rehabilitation program (teaching disabled people skills which are useful for them in finding a job) and a seminary school for pastors.

6) She, and James, are considerate towards people of other faith. This is evidenced by the replies they gave to fans of other religion.

Naver: Wonder Girls Hyerim's modest look... "Neat and Attractive"

Source: http://news.naver.com/main/read.nhn?mode=LSD&mid=sec&sid1=106&oid=213&aid=0000585079

[+572, -38] Is Wonder Girls still a group or not? She suffered a lot when she joined Wonder Girls
[+501, -9] Hyerim, long time no see
[+389, -23] I miss Wonder Girls ㅠ
[+333, -26] Cute ♥ ㅠㅠ I want to see a Wonder Girls domestic comeback
[+314 -24] I really miss Wonder Girls
[+54, -5] If she didn't join Wonder Girls she wouldn't have been scolded and would have debuted in another group. Pity her, now that she joined, she has no activities.
[+55, -7] She could have debuted under Miss A if she didn't join Wonder Girls... a kind kid, but unlucky.
