Sunmi: "A lot of things occurred amid these 10 years. To all the fans that bolstered us, confided in us, and sat tight for us... my heart hurts, giving you tragic news. I'm sad, and bless your heart."
Yubin: "Too Wonderful, with your endless support and trust, Wonder Girls was so loved for a long time. Continuously, with much trust, I will treasure those moments of our time together." Hyerim: "When time comes that you begin to miss us, I hope that our songs, loaded with recollections, will be of solace to you. All: "Thank you, thank you and thank you once more. We were so glad. Those days were like fantasy. Don't forget us... We are Wonder Girls."
