The Wonder Girls are set to make its comeback on tv this weekend (31st May) on MBC “Music Core”. But there was a feeling of deja vu with the group’s rapper, Kim Yoo Bin being diagnosed with strained vocal chords recently.
.
Eldest member and rapper Kim Yoo Bin, will have to lip sync for Wonder Girls performances after being diagnosed with vocal cord lesions and spasmodic dysphonia recently at a checkup at a otorhinolaryngology in Kangnam. Yoo Bin was advised to take a 4 weeks rest and get treatment for her vocal cords.
For their comeback performance this Saturday, they have decided to have Yoo Bin lip sync for her rapping part. This will continue until her condition improves. JYPE expressed that since end March, her condition was really bad and she barely finished the recording of the single album.
JYPE representative said on 28th May “Yoo Bin will lipsync for once but promotional activities will continue as per schedule. Yoo Bin will go for therapy sessions and we are looking into ways to shorten her healing duration. All Wonder Girls and JYPE wants is for Yoo Bin to have a speedy recovery.”
It would be a great pity especially as Yoo Bin with her husky voice had been assigned 15 rap lines in “So Hot”. In fact, most would agree that her rapping portion is the most awesome part in the whole song. But her health is of greater importance and we should be thinking long-term.
Since releasing their “So Hot” track on 22nd May, it has dominated online music portal sites, Melon, Cyworld, etc capturing the number 1 spot within two days.
On a happier note, Yoo Bin is officially an adult. (thanks to ahboo)
Wonder Girls will release their “So Hot” single next month on 3rd June. They will also be recording a digital single today with their producer, Park Jin Young including Asian superstar Jackie Chan, etc where all sales will go to relief efforts for the devastating 12th May Sichuan earthquake in south western China.

“Unknown Cause, but Treatment Can Improve Voice Problem
For spasmodic dysphonia, like all dystonias:
* The cause is unknown
* There is no specific test for diagnosis
* There is no known cure–but treatment can and does improve symptoms”

get well soon yoo bin!!! be careful of ur health!
that hella sucks!
i hope her vocals get better
her live raps will be missed
aww man!
her rapping was the best in my entire life!
she’s like the no.1 rapper to me hahaa also! yoobin’s no.2 in my wg ranking XD
NOOOO!! My favorite Wonder Girl has to lip sync on their COMEBACK?! =( That makes me mucho sad. Also, I definitely think her part is the best part in “So Hot”, and this is one of those instances that she has a long part in the song. This really makes me sad. Wonder Girls aren’t known for great vocals live. Yoobin is usually the one to deliver (taken that she doesn’t usually sing… she still delivers just like the recording.). Well, I hope she gets better! =)
seriously, yoobin’s rap is the best part of the song!!! im okay with her lipsyncing.. better to lipsync than to cuz more damage to her throat!! NOOO… the WG rapper’s curse… T_T sobs* yoobin i hope u get better!!!
i thought May 31st would never come!! gosh, how long we’ve all been waiting.. we’re almost there.. but this…
NOOooooooooooo…..!!! i’m devastated to hear about this news.
And all this had occur at the end of March? Omo.. poor yoobin… strain her vocals too much. I hate the fact that in between getting ready for their new single album, the wonder girls had to perform so many small unbroadcasted performances and never got the opportunity to fully replenish themselves.. \_/ they’re not robots for goodness sakes!!!
I had this once too, I hope she will get well very soon.
So Saddd
Get better My Fav WG.
Yoo Bin Fighting”"
man that really sucks….yoobin is the only person i want to hear and her part is the best in so hot poor yoobie my fav out of all the wonder girls get well soon and i hope she won’t leave the group cause it will be awkward without her….*raps her part from tell me*
is this some kind of WG rapper curse?! hope she will get well soon cos her part is one of the best..aw~~ take care!
[...] Yoobin WIll Not Rap After Straining her vocal Chords [...]
AHHH!
how can this happen to the awesome rapper?!
and i was in FULLY ANTICIPATION for their first performance for SO HOT!
dang it, i really hope she does rest well and recover soon!!
she’s the best female rapper around so hope that we can see her on the stage rapping live soon :X
YOO BIN!! feel better soon!!
wonder girls fighting!!♥
If this were ANY OTHER company, i’d say they are lying and it’s because Yoobin cant yet pronounce all her english properly or rap properly live. But when its JYP, you KNOW they’d do anything to sing live even if they risk sounding bad, unless it was somethin really bad, like poor yoobin’s throat ><.
So god, WHYYY YOOBIN. Yoobin’s part rap was def the part i was looking forward to hearing LIVE. Its the first time she has a big part! Though her part sounded sorta weird since her first two english lines and the korean lines were very sexy and her other 4 english lines sounded really cute, it was neverless well done T_T!
awww i hate this…
i love her rap part for so hot!!!
i hope she’ll get better:)
