I can’t help it. I saw that written on the box in the PV, and just like when I first got Sweet Valley High #69, I snickered. I can’t help it, I’m immature and horrible like that.

Anyway, according to several sources, the Wonder Girls are dropping their retro look with their multicolored shoes and hairstyles for a sexy look. Which disappointed me when I heard it, because what? Sexy? Fuck sexy. Every girl group in the world tries to pull off sexy at one point or another, and frankly, it’s old.

Of course, Wonder Girls actually do pull off the sexy look pretty well. (Though I don’t get this new thing they apparently have for leopard print. It was cute when I was four. Which was in 1997.) Sun Mi and So Hee lean more towards the cute end of the spectrum, but Ye Eun’s rocking those red tights and Yoo Bin is just awesome. Sun Ye…

Um. Well, I’m sure her sexiness would’ve gotten through had that baseball not hit her stylist on the head, right? Right? She doesn’t look that bad, actually, though I should point out that while it works for a large amount of idols (Ichii Sayaka, Kamei Eri, Mitsui Aika, Hirano Aya, Takahashi Ai, Ayu, etc), cutting your hair short doesn’t always enhance your sexiness. Wearing your pants up to your armpits doesn’t help either.

Anyway, I guess to illustrate the point of the song (which, for anyone who couldn’t tell, is that the Wonder Girls are smokin’ and they know it), Sun Mi tries to go about her daily life - but noes, every time she walks down a street, guys fall all over her and beg her to let them be her slaves. She tosses her hair and sighs, because she’s obviously too good for these peons.

She does let them buy her stuff, though. Like, a lot of stuff. Wow. Those guys must have a lot of dough but not a whole lot of a life.

Sun Mi turns out to be an ungrateful bitch and totally rejects the guys’ presents.

And is it just me, or does she look way too much like a gyaru? Wear darker lipstick, honey.

I love these two caps just because they’re so true. It doesn’t matter how cruel or picky she is, one blown kiss from an idol and you have to forgive her. Oh, Sun Mi, you are a tricky tricky thing. No wonder you get the most lines.

Sun Ye is totally a sneaky little minx, for which I love her. And her hair is gloriously and wondrously long and WHY THE HELL DID YOU CUT IT, BITCH? You can’t throw away hair like that! *smacksmack*
Ahem. Anyway.

Can I ask why she’s riding a bike? She’s a hot member of a hot girl group (or so they would have us believe), and she rides a bike? So Hee got a limo, Sun Mi’s going to get a fifty-pound diamond, Yoo Bin gets a pool, and Sun Ye gets a bike? There is just no justice in this video. At all.

As a note, I think that’s just a little too big for her.

Wow. Oh, wow. That has got to be one of the cutest things I have ever seen. It’s like this one time I walked into the Sanrio store and had to leave after five minutes because I kept getting the urge to just scoop up everything in there and hug it and never let it go. I mean, wow. I can’t look anymore.

Can I ask why there’s a stop sign on So Hee’s chest?

Actually, I was quite surprised by this single in that So Hee actually doesn’t sound too bad. I know there’s probably some studio magic going on, but if anyone remembers those few lines she sang in Tell Me, there’s a big difference. I don’t doubt that her singing is still pretty weak, but it sounds like she’s getting better. There’s a glut of cute but talentless girls out there, and it would be nice to have a few cute girls with the added bonus of actually being able to sing, right?

Ye Eun dyed her hair, which means I can finally tell her and Sun Ye apart…

Oh God, I love this. I wonder how much those guys were paid?

But this video actually comes with a twist, and it’s quite a good one at that:

Ye Eun is cheerleading, and another cheerleader comes along…

And all the guys follow her, leaving the “so hot” Ye Eun with only the crazy wota-like guy in the bleachers. (She looks appropriately freaked out.)

Meanwhile, So Hee is at her movie premiere, being cute and adorable…

And falls down! God, I love this video. Granted, she gets right back up and is like, “Wtf you saying bitch, I didn’t fall!” Whoever thought up this video, come marry me now.

Now it’s time for some Yoo Bin rapping action! As always, it’s the best part of the entire song, mostly because while the other WG are passable singers, Yoo Bin is a pretty damn good rapper. The only thing I don’t like is the “All the boys be lovin’ me, girls be hatin’ me” line. Isn’t that a Lindsay Lohan song? Paris Hilton? Britney Spears? All three?

Yoo Bin is hot though, I’ll give her that. Yoo Bin <3.

And just like in Sweet Valley, someone gets pushed into a pool. Yoo Bin gives him a 0. He wasn’t even trying.

So, the Wonder Girls are back, and they are hot. To be honest, I do like the song and I’m looking forward to the rest of the single. I love the video, especially the fact that Yoo Bin is given more screen time. So Hee’s improving and she’s as adorable as ever, Sun Ye might have an awful haircut but she’s still got it. Ye Eun dyed her hair, which both pleases and disappoints me - she looked lovely with black hair. On the upside, she looks good with lighter hair too, and I can finally tell her and Sun Ye apart. Sun Mi kind of bores me, but I’m sure there’s more to her than I’m giving credit for.

The main thing that’s beginning to irk me is JYP inserting himself into all the singles. We know you’re their producer. For God’s sake. Yes, we’re all fucking thrilled the Wonder Girls are back. I’d bet we’d all be more thrilled if you kept your trap shut in their songs.

Anyway, the song itself is very catchy. Almost ridiculously so. The lyrics are great and despite their new sexyhot image, WG can still poke fun at themselves, which is always something I like seeing in music. Music is serious business, yo. The instrumental is pretty bland and generic. You could probably make the same thing out of GarageBand or something. It’s a bad thing, but it doesn’t sway my opinion. “So Hot” is a good song and I’d say it’s a pretty solid lead for a comeback single. I’m looking forward to hearing the other two.

As far as the sexy goes, they’ve done an impressive job with it. I’d say Ye Eun is the sexiest, mostly because of those awesome red socks. Yoo Bin is in second, losing to the power of those great socks. Sun Mi and So Hee kind of run together for third, just because they aren’t that sexy, not yet. Cute? Yes. Definitely. Sexy? No, not really. Much as I love her, Sun Ye fails miserably and comes in way, way last. She’s great in the story parts of the video, but…

I’m sorry. I can’t give credit for this.
