Cross-Cultural Celebrity Collaborations

The Wonder Girls 'Like Money' Song Features Akon

— July 11, 2012 — Pop Culture
The Wonder Girls 'Like Money' song is the latest from the widely popular Korean girl band with a special appearance by a certain Western hip hop mogul -- Akon.

The video features a sleek futuristic backdrop like most K-Pop videos opt for, with hard-hitting, super-synchonized dancing the whole way through. The powerful duo is the perfect recipe to garner mass attention in both Asia and America. As one of the more successful Korean pop star groups, the Wonder Girls are slowly increasing their presence in America. They've done this by releasing other singles in English and by touring with the Jonas Brothers (and holding the endearing love of Perez Hilton).

Watch out for these bionic ladies -- their sweet smiles, persevering dances and connections within the music industry in the West make them a force to be reckoned with.
