The album will include the Mandarin versions of “Nobody,” “So Hot,” and “Tell Me” and 13 other songs and music videos.
Taiwanese radio station FM92.1 UFO has started playing the Mandarin version of the hit song “Nobody” on Feb. 1.
However, the Wonder Girls will be promoting the album without Sunmi, who will leave the group by March to continue her studies in South Korea.
JYP Entertainment announced Sunmi’s withdrawal from the group last Jan. 22.
"It was such a valuable and happy experience for me to take part in the performance tour to 50 cities in the United States for the past year. But I came to wonder whether I should live like this," news agency Agence France-Presse quoted Sunmi’s statement in a report.
Sunmi quit high school last year to focus on the Wonder Girls’ activities in the US.
Four of the girl group members quietly went back to South Korea last week to meet Hae Lim, who was announced by JYPE as Sunmi’s replacement. Sunmi was left in the US to prepare for her final activities with the Wonder Girls there.
The Wonder Girls are also set to launch their English album in the US this February. They will also perform at the Valentine’s Day concert of Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, California.
Lim, who is fluent in four languages including Korean and Mandarin, was scheduled to debut as the newest member of the Wonder Girls by joining the girls last Feb. 2 in Guangzhou, China, for an activity.
Fans have expressed support for Sunmi and challenged Lim to show that she is worthy of being a member of the Wonder Girls
