WHO IS BoA?

Boa Kwon is a South Korean singer, better known by her stage name BoA (Beat of Angel). She is active in South Korea and Japan. Her Korean record label, SM Entertainment, has positioned her to become a cross-cultural idol in East Asia and parts of Southeast Asia.

She has released nine full-length albums, three mini-albums, two compilation albums,
two remix albums, and over thirty singles in Japan and South Korea. Her albums have also
been released as "overseas versions" throughout Asia and her total record sales are quickly
approaching the ten million mark. BoA broke records in both Korea and Japan with her top
songs, No. 1, Valenti, Listen to My Heart, and My Name. She has also made strides in music
and acting with chart-breaking albums released in both Japanese and Korean.

BoA's first language is Korean, but she also speaks fluent Japanese and conversational English,
and is also learning Mandarin Chinese. BoA has re-recorded several songs in Mandarin and has
composed and written lyrics for several of her songs.

Today, BoA is considered one of the most popular pop artists in both Korea and Japan, and is one of the leading stars of the Korean Wave otherwise known as "Hallyu". She has been credited as helping establish and improve relations between Japan and Korea, where tensions have traditionally existed. She is recognized as the "Queen of Asia" by fans across the globe.

BoA has re-signed an extended contract with SM Entertainment until 2012 for which she will receive 100,000 shares of SM Entertainment.

talk about her performaces, album, music videos...anything just about BoA.

lol i like Boa...
sometimes she confuses me if she is singing jap. song or k song lol..
i like her look..
oo she have the name of my cuz! Bou-Yee,

^^ haha. my sister's chinese name is also like hers.

lol...i remember when I first heard of BoA. "Every Heart" in the inuyasha soundtrack <---still one of my favorite songs. And this girl works soo hard. It doesn't matter if you're a fan or not...you can't deny that BoA's a huge star in asia and she works her butt off. ^^

she is so cute^^

I think BoA sucks.

her voice is quite amazing, now that shes been in the business for so long she can dance and sing without breaking a sweat, quite impressive!
i have all her songs and i think her voice is really amazing

She's awesome. She can sing in Korean, Japanese, and I think Chinese. BoA's a hardworking singer/dancer.

i luv her song "everlasting".

She's soo pretty, and i like her song, Winter Love the best.

She was great at Hollywood Bowl!
She sang "Girls on Top" and "No.1", which was her first single, i think.

Though she's not my absolute favorite female artist out there, I think she's pretty awesome. :] It can't be denied that she's really hard-working and even if she seems to act pretty confident sometimes, I mean, hey, if you were that successful, maybe you'd be like that, too...XD Just a thought...but yeah, she was great at HWB~ She's actually very good live.

And she sang, 'Moto', too, ne? (Even if I heard it was lipsynched, hey, she did the first two live, so...X3 And those dance numbers must be tiring...) Though I left during that time to avoid the large crowd at the end...sort of regret it, though, missing the finale and all. >_>

to me hyolee is better at dancing but BoA is amazing at singing. i like Girls on Top

Some girls i know at school did a dance performance of girls on top at the azn heritage show a few months ago.

i've like Boa for a long time . Both her japanese and Korean stuff are great ( even tho she seems to be neglecting korea a little right now). She is one of my favorite artists period.

aint a big fan.. knew her coz of her song valenti... one of the exceed k-pop song... hihiHI!!!.. love to pump it up!!! yeah!!!
