The South Korean girl group “Wonder Girls” will star in a U.S. made for TV movie that will air early next year.

The group’s agency “JYP Entertainment” said that it signed a contract last week with U.S. TV channel “Teen Nick” to produce the movie called “Wonder Girls at the Apollo.”

Teen Nick is a subsidiary of MTV Networks, which is owned by Viacom, one of the world’s largest media companies. The channel is viewed by more than 70-million households across the U.S.

One of the co-producers of the movie is Nick Cannon, husband of pop singer Mariah Carey.

JYP Entertainment said that the Wonder Girls will be the first Asian entertainers to play the lead in a U.S. TV movie. The five-member South Korean girl group is planning to release a U.S. debut album in concurrence with the broadcasting of the movie.
