BoA speaks on her US Debut

BoA K-Pop Korean Music

BoA spoke about her US Debut on the January 3rd episode of KBS 2TV's "Entertainment Relay (연예가중계)." And it seems the pop princess is enjoying her new found challenge.

BoA stated:

"There was a time when I kept thinking, why do people expect so much from me? Who was I doing this all for? Gradually my singing career was becoming less enjoyable.

I started wondering what I would enjoy doing, and that's when talks about my US debut started happening. This new found challenged has actually revitalized me and my happiness.

When I first debuted in my teens, everything was so hectic and busy, that I had no time to even think about anything. However, moving forward I want to take things nice and slow, so that I can look back on myself. I want to enjoy it this time around, but also work extremely hard to succeed."


I know how you feel BoA, I mean having thousands of fans, millions of dollars and everything you ever wanted, is seriously like the shittiest situation anyone could ever be in. Absolutely unacceptable! Who in their right mind would ever sign up for that? Consider me out. I would much rather be in the same boat as singers like "JOO," who probably couldn't even afford a bowl of rice and is unrecognized by, well, everyone. Just kidding, who could possibly hate BoA? I mean, she's adorable, just look at her new photos below!

BoA's full us album will be released in March of 2009.

lmao @ the last paragraph.
BoA’s so cute. hahahaha. but i don’t understand why she can’t look back at her younger years lol.
i like those pics though.
hope she does well here. it would be really nice if i can actually talk to my friends about her and they’ll know who she is. lol.
@#6 its called lighting…at least that’s what it looks like
@12 you could have just edited the comment XDDD

 
autumn's avatar

@piggie
LOL! I would have been shocked too! :D

 
procrastinator's avatar

I’m glad she’s happy again.
Does anyone know any BoA songs that are kind of like Eat You Up? You know like electronica type of dance music that is ridiculously catchy. My friend wants to know and since I don’t really follow BoA’s music I really wouldn’t know.

Ah that’s cool that you heard her song at Macy’s. I saw her MV (the GOOD one, not the crappy American one) on The N channel O_O I was screaming my ass off (It was 3:30 am though, but it’s a start ^_^ The N is where I learned about Metro Station so I hope it’ll help out BoA)

 
autumn's avatar

@Shattered_Regrets

3:30 am?! woah… o,O

 
sLaVe's avatar

Damn, she looks tired if she’s happy.

Anyway, there’s another interview of her saying that she wants to actually work with the others who are coming to America ( for example, Se7en and Bi). I find that interesting because while everyone is talking about or wanting to know is about the competition. BoA on the other hand wants to work with the others and keep each other company “because we’re going to feel very lonely”.

O.o
Never noticed her dimples
She look gorgeous!!!!
When is Eat You Up gonna get some airplay on the radio??

 
sLaVe's avatar

The N has been playing it on normal hours, not just at 3am lol. It’s also been heard in countless malls, gyms, radios, and clubs in Cali and New York (where most of the new music is played first).

-sLaVe

 
Shattered_Regrets's avatar

XD Yeah I bet it was played during normal hours too. I was just about to go to sleep and then I heard that radio thing in the MV and it woke me out of my almost-sleeping state. I have a good feeling about her debut. Oh, she looks really pretty in those pics, too smile

 
autumn's avatar

oh… i should watch the N. i would like to see her on tv! :D

@procrastinator
theres “Bad Drive” from her The Face album
thats all i can remember right now. also its in Japanese, if your friend doesn’t mind.
@Shattered_Regrets
really? dang!! hahaha that’s cool even if it was 3:30 am. lol
@sLaVe
yay! that makes me feel a lil better about her venture in the American market
@20(love this editing thing!!)
if it does get played(hopefully) it will get played on 106.1
and maybe just maybe the remix with Flo-rida will get played on 104.5 but that’s my speculation lol.

mia's avatar

Johnny, thank you so much for banning “CandyGirl89”. That bitch would’ve been talking shit about BoA like an idiot…
Anyway, BoA looks pretty in those pictures.
March is still a little while to go, so she still has time for any improvements she needs!!

its not surprising I mean have if you see her in the face tour she’s was really white
I think it is natural but then again it could be makeup or some kind of treatment
I’m glad we agree on something Johnny i mean how can you hate this girl she’s so sweet and adorable and talented and humble and hardworking need i go on??

 
no avatar

I see where she’s coming from.  I think the cards are still stacked against her in terms of becoming a true star in the States, but I think she has what it takes to be modestly successful here.  Good luck!  I really can’t help rooting for her.

BoA is gorgeous.  It’s great to know that she’s up for the challenge.

@ steviewonder:  I think she meant that she worked so much to the point of exhaustion and started losing her passion for her career.

 
autumn's avatar

@sLaVe

the editing feature is next to your name on your comment.

 
wonder's avatar

I think she has a really good chance to make it in America. Mostly because of the type of music she’s coming out with. For some reason I get the feeling that people who like this genre are going to be looking mostly at her music and not race. I hope she does. We need a new face/style around here.

She has some big ass teeth and a big nose. I don’t find her attractive. Too boyish for me.

 
sLaVe's avatar

HAHAHAHAHA after reading her journey to being banned…which by the way, I was surprised to see she was given so many chances (how generous)... I was kinda sad. I liked showing her how stupid her logic was… or in her words “opinion”. Anyway, I can’t hate her so much. I’m back cuz she showed me that antis need to be SCHOOL’d.

I would have loved to read what she had to say about what BoA said in this article and the article I provided in the link.

@lala- she said herself she’s a classic tomboy. That when she dresses herself, she prefers the tomboyish style. I think it adds to her coolness.
