K-pop girl band Wonder Girls’ hit song “Nobody” has been selected as a soundtrack for a new trailer of DreamWorks’ “Penguins of Madagascar.”

In the freshly released trailer titled “Finding Missing Penguins,” the four penguins of Madagascar -- Skipper, Kowalski, Private and Rico -- dress up in mermaid costumes and dance to the famous South Korean tune “I want nobody but you.”

The clip is anticipated to entice more South Korean viewers to the cinema.

I’m very thankful for the love people have shown our song ‘Nobody.’ It’s my wish our fans will continue their love on to ‘Penguins of Madagascar’ too” added Hyerim, another member of the girl band.

“We hope this will help shed light on more works by Asian artists” said Yubin.
