Explanation of the reasons for the explosion of popularity
Simplicity is the king of sitting can also dance
The success of "Nobody" should first be attributed to the dance movements of the popular, easy to understand, easy to learn. From start to finish, the dance never leaves its original position, almost moving within a one-square-meter radius. The whole dance is basically a movement of legs, hips and arms, and even the head rarely swings. It's just a little stretching of the legs, a fluttering of the hips, and a wiggling of the arms. Such a simple combination of movements can be danced without any dance foundation. Almost all of the movements can be done even while sitting, which naturally stimulates people's desire to learn.
The whole song "Nobody" is 3 minutes 47 seconds, of which "I want nobody, nobody but you" takes up almost a minute, and is repeated 17 times in total***, not counting the 7 times without "but you". "The song is a great example of how the song can be used as a dance move, but it's also a great example of how the song can be used as a dance move.
In addition, in the traditional hot dance, the dancers are trying their best to be cool and sexy, with a series of difficult moves that make people dizzy. But this "Nobody" uses simple body language to convey shyness and flirtatiousness and mischievous cuteness, and some of the dance moves are even identical to those of the female protagonists in Korean funny idol dramas. For example, the corresponding dance moves to the infinitely repeated phrase "I want nobody, nobody but you" are regarded as classics by netizens, with the five girls "cowering" and pointing their hands forward, playing up the cuteness to the fullest.
The Wonder Girls are the first to be recognized by the internet for their "nobody but you" dance moves.
The Wonder Girls are backed by a team of talented artists. Park Jin-young, who discovered these five popular girls, is the founder of JYP Entertainment, one of the largest "dream factories" in Korea, and he has created Korean superstars such as GOD and RAIN. The song "Nobody", which has become a worldwide hit, was written by him.
The trilogy is a step-by-step process: two previous hits in the same style have built up the popularity of the Wonder Girls in Korea: 2007's Tell Me and 2008's So Hot, which made the Wonder Girls the "National Sisters".
The publicity was overwhelming: "Nobody" was released at the end of last year and quickly grabbed the attention of three major Korean TV stations, becoming the most frequently seen song on TV. One could almost say, "Nobody, see you every day!"
