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.

You know if people dont like boa then dont comment on her, this is a place we give idols love so go find something better to do than being mean!

~Boa the best of luck for you, I hope you enjoy America! I will make a stronger effort in supporting you so those who are mean will get washed away by those who love you~

I think CandyGirl called for some reinforcement. Or she went over to her neighbor’s house so she can post under another IP.

Did Boa have plastic surgery?  She looks kind of unnatural and she looks kind of Caucasian now.  Also, did she really have a dimple when she was younger because I don’t recall it until lately?  Her dimple looks like a line instead of a hole.  I hope she didn’t put fake dimples in.

^@67 no i think it was this person named BigBang>Kpop
oh the memories! -__-

EDIT: what the? some person deleted their comment before me??? lol

 
wonder's avatar

@slave: I think so too. If it is her she changed her MO. No more quoting whole comments. If not ANTI-BOA should sign up as Candygirl89 #2.

 
musicislove's avatar

those are some seriously pretty pictures of BoA! =)
for some reason the more i see her and hear about her US activities, the more i believe that she may actually breakthrough. i don’t have those types of feelings for any of the others yet.
keep working hard BoA! =)

 
sLaVe's avatar

Hahahaha, I love how my joke is catching on.
Anyway, no… I think when I was more active, I saw others get banned in a much quicker fashion. After one stupid comment back after a warning it was done. as in 1 strike, you’re out…


Who knows if BoA’s had plastic surgery or not. Some days she looks like what she used to look like (just grown up) and some days she’ll look like a different version of BoA. Like a cloning gone bad (not ugly, but not what a clone is supposed to look like).

@wonder,DBSK’s U-know used JT’s magic song at SBS Gayo when it wasnt even officially out and same thing with Taemin in Shinee using Usher’s that gurl right their and Rain used JT’s Magic song at KBS Gayo illegally too so SonyBGG said it was used without permission and they dont know where they got the songs unless downloaded the illegally uploads people did.the songs havent been on Usher’s or JT’s albums yet.And that they are infringing on copyrights. more info at coolsmurf but SM and JTUNE are in big trouble which means big trouble for Rain and Boa for messing with America.

I’m about to go watch the N for her.
That would be something different if she makes it in the US.
the only Asian artist I can think of from the top of my head in the US is Asia Cruise (and she’s not even all that popular)
I haven’t heard her anywhere since I live in Maryland, but it would be cool to hear her on the radio =P

BoA is pretty. But I never thought she was gorgeous. I think its because of the tomboyish character that exudes from her. She lacks a certain grace that gorgeous women carry. Not that its bad because to me, she is much more appealing.

Anyways, I am glad that she is taking this US debut as a new challenge. I am glad that it renewed her spirit. I always thought that she looks jaded in the last few years. When I say jaded, I meant tired, lost, confused, and angst. I was never a big fan, but I never dislike her either. Thus as a neutral fan, I hope that she succeeds in the US. But the realist (some might even say pessimist) in me say that her chance her slim to zero. But I never know, miracles do happen.

No matter what I like her spirit.

@....: wow, sucks to be them (SM) and their artists for having to suffer for their co mistakes.

 
sLaVe's avatar

Hmmm,I read about this…well skimmed. but actually, in this case, I don’t think it has anything to do with BoA’s name. As in, I don’t think it will damage her image. But yes, because of SM Ent’s mistake, lots of money (i’m sure) will be used and be taken from BoA’s fund xD

Wtf, I’ve noticed lately that SM has been having a lot of copyright issues. wth is going on…

I love BoA ^^ I got into KPop because of her back in 2004.
It’s good to hear that she’s becoming happy in the US because I remember watching some performances of her in Japan and she looked so miserable.
Good luck BoA!

She’s so cute now~! smile I’m excited for her US album~

Her stage on SBS gayo put every female artist in shame, except (my) BJY who sang a ballad. Her dance is full of energy and dynamic.

 
wonder's avatar

@Slave: Hopefully not. Usually America will see a new artist as new even if they are really famous in another country. That can be good and bad sometimes.

 
sLaVe's avatar

Yeah but if anything, I think if America will mention this at all, they’ll mention it as “she comes from the entertainment company that stole…” not as “BoA stole…”. And either way, it really has nothing to do with her image, so I think she stayed clear of this one. Damn, she manages to clear her name in everything hahaa.
