Tell Me (Wonder Girls song)

The song gained significant attention throughout South Korea for its choreography, which was widely imitated and featured on various online video sites.

In 2013, it was ranked number one in a survey of the best South Korean hit idol songs conducted by Research Panel Korea.

The song was later re-recorded for the Japanese release of their greatest hits album WonderBest (2012) and features the band's third line-up consisting of Sunye, Yeeun, Sohee, Yubin and Hyerim, with previous members' vocals removed.

[citation needed] The choreography for the song was simple and widely imitated: by October, many fan performances of the dance circulated on video sharing sites such as YouTube and Daum,[7] including one by a group of policemen who were eventually profiled on SBS's Star King and performed both in front of and with Wonder Girls.

Many celebrities, including Shin Hye Sung, Super Junior's Kim Heechul, Nam Hyun Joon and Hong Kyung-min, also sang and danced to the song at their own fan meetings.

The song was labelled a "pop phenomenon" by the San Francisco Chronicle, and YouTube co-founder Steve Chen stated that the dance clips were among his favorites on the website.

[31] In a ranking conducted by 35 Korean music critics and industry professionals curated by Melon and newspaper Seoul Shinmun in 2021, "Tell Me" was named the ninth best K-pop song of all time.

Music critic Hwang Seon-yeop said that "If I were to pick the most important event in the chronicle of K-pop, I think I could say without hesitation that it was the 'butterfly effect caused by this song'".
