Korean pop group, Wonder Girls, sing about PS3

by Andrew Yoon { Apr 6th 2009 at 1:00PM }

The Wonder Girls are rather popular in Korea, and it looks like Sony is leveraging their celebrity to promote the PS3. The music video for "Now" has the girls seductively turning on the PS3 and wildly moving their bodies to control Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. (Maybe they're using SIXAXIS controls?) The music is a little unbearable, and the video is almost absurd, but it's fun to see PS3 break into other forms of media.

[Thanks, James!]

Awesome the idea reminds me of the wyclef fast car video where the PSP PS3 and PSeye and a few Sony TVs were featured while they played Burnout.

now that you mention that reminds me of the single by T.M. Revolution where the video had mutiple Sony products as well as being the first single to be released with a blu-ray...

a cover of FIN.K.L.s Now along with a remaked video back then they used the PS2 and Gran Turismo 3 lol horrible song tho...

This is actually just an advert for a cell phone and something to keep Korean fans happy while they are in the US preparing for their US debut...

Yes I'm a Wonder Girls fanboy...

Nice homage to the Catherine Zeta Jones laser practice butt shot in the movie Entrapment.

"A little unbearable?" Since they didn't feel the need to use voice modulation to cover for a lack of talent, I'd say it's still far better than anything that has come out of the American music scene in years.

RE: "A little unbearable?"

Hmm, hot Asian chicks and the PS3. What's not to love?

JuanDHexen @ Apr 6th 2009 5:03PM

the singing :) everything else is hot.

KinjiroSSD @ Apr 6th 2009 3:08PM

Huh? I though Sony froze production of Korean PS3s due to Japanese ppl buying them with a strong yen

SkeetSkiLee @ Apr 6th 2009 3:27PM

I liked the song D: but the MV was awful... but Wonder Girls are hot :D

Exemplar @ Apr 6th 2009 3:37PM

Don't tell me I have to go to Korea to get me one of those TV's with wind-functionality!?

jason @ Apr 6th 2009 7:26PM

didn't Maxwell had a stereo version when you listen to their cassettes ?

TreND @ Apr 6th 2009 3:46PM

"Wasn't Altair missing a finger?"

it could be Desmond's hand. they said that Desmond was getting Altair's skills through the animus so he might end up with a hidden blade

TreND @ Apr 6th 2009 3:48PM

ups. my mistake

liberafatali @ Apr 6th 2009 3:50PM

youtube.com/watch?v=XE1Bkm9HVRU

pretty much the same except they use a ps2! so old. haha

David @ Apr 6th 2009 4:26PM

I dont understand Korean, but I dont think their singing about PS3, as you can see the PS3 is only to be seen in the first minute of the music video.

stormtrooper190 @ Apr 6th 2009 5:43PM

HA! the game dose not even have six-axis suport

jalannom @ Apr 6th 2009 8:36PM

Wondergirls.. mmm.. I wanna 2nd PS3 now..

GDragon @ Apr 6th 2009 8:57PM

They don't even mention the ps3 in their songs.
Its there because finkl used a PS2 but they used a ps3.

Brakius @ Apr 7th 2009 1:33AM

I'd hit it!

Kristopher gonzalez @ Apr 7th 2009 7:44AM

So they are promoting the PS3 in korea, why? Didn't SCEJ stop distributing PS3's to Korea recently?
