Album information

The Wonder Years was released on September 13, 2007. In addition to all-new material, the album also contained songs from the group's debut single The Wonder Begins, including "Irony," "Bad Boy," and "미안한 마음." The songs from the girls debut mini album that featured Hyuna were left intact with her vocals. Only her rap vocals were re-recorded over by Yubin for the album.

Singles

"Tell Me" was the first single to be released from the album. The debut performance was on MBC's show Music Core on September 7, 2007. "Tell Me" became the group's first #1 hit, allowing the group to become an "idol group". Due to the last-minute addition of rapper Kim Yubin to the group, her rap is not on the album version.

The second single from the album was "이 바보" ("This Fool"), which debuted on MBC's show Music Core on December 10, 2007. This song was used to promote the South Korean film I like It Hot, released in January 2008; the film features Wonder Girls member Ahn Sohee.
