The Wonder Girls will perform for the 2011 Special Olympics Closing Ceremony, set to take place in Athens, Greece.

According to JYP Entertainment, The Wonder Girls received an invitation to be a part of the 2011 Special Olympics Closing Ceremony, which takes place on July 4th. They are scheduled to depart for Greece on June 30th. The Wonder Girls will represent all Korean musicians by taking the stage on this day.


The Special Olympics serve the children and adults worldwide who possess intellectual disabilities by providing an ongoing opportunity for these individuals to receive training in sports. Furthermore, this international event’s main goals are to help improve their athleticism and develop their social skills in order to be productive and accepted into society. The Special Olympics seem to be receiving even more attention this year due to the fact that the 10th Anniversary 2013 Special Olympics are scheduled to be held in Korea.

To celebrate Korea’s future hosting of the Special Olympics, the Wonder Girls will perform “Tell Me” and “Nobody” at the closing ceremony, and will close with “Arirang” in attempts to portray Korea’s beauty.

Speaking on the topic, the Wonder Girls mentioned that they were “excited and thankful for receiving an opportunity to be part of such a meaningful event” and they “hope their music will make the attendees happy and bring their hearts closer to Korea.”

After their performance in Greece, the Wonder Girls will return to America to continue preparing for their American album.
