Kwon BoA Biography
Kwon BoA ambition was to become a singer when she was a kid, but her route to star hood came with a bit of faith and coincidence.
When BoA was 11 years old, her brother went for a talent quest audition organized by Korea entertainment agency, SM Entertainment.
SM was planning to produce an international superstar and wanted to train the prospect from young age, and BoA’s brother was asked if he got any younger siblings, and BoA was invited by SM for audition as well.. and BoA was chosen to be the future star.
BoA’s parents were persuaded to allow BoA to pursue her childhood dream of becoming a singer, and she started her training in singing, dancing and foreign languages. She was once sent to Japan to learn Japanese and sing & dance skills, which according to BoA was some of the toughest time she ever had.
BoA released her first Korean album, “ID; Peace B” in 2000 and immediately noticed by Japan’s Avex and signed a contract.
In March 2002, BoA became the first foreigner to top the Japan Oricon chart, with her debut Japanese album “Listen to My Heart.” The album was co-produced by Avex Japan and SM Korea, Boa showed her talent singing in English, Japanese and Korean.
The BoA sensation spreads to all around Asia, with numerous Japanese and Korean hits in the past few years. She won the MTV Asia The Most Influential Asian Artist Award in 2004, she was just 18 then.
In February 2006, BoA released her 4th Japanese album “Outgrow” and top the ORICON chart again and became only the 2nd singer to have 4 consecutive album topping ORICON chart. (The first artist to do this is Ayumi Hamasaki)
It’s also a known fact that BoA is interested in acting as well. Her first movie involvement was as voice-actress for Korean version of Anime movie “The Hedge” in May 2006.
Why I like Kwon BoA
BoA is arguably the most famous Asian young star. I actually like her when she was younger, she looked cute back then, but now trying to portray a sexy look, with too many makeup most of the time.
Anyway I think BoA can sing and dance very well, she is an intelligent and smart girl.
While some people think that BoA was lucky to achieve her superstar status, bear in mind that she worked really hard to achieve what she is today.

BoA is probably earning more at the moment. I can’t remember the exact figure, but they are rich.

I heard Hyori earns like 235,000 $ .But i thought that she earned couple of million.So Hyori is not really rich?
November 20th, 2007 at 12:40 pm
Definitely in millions.
November 20th, 2007 at 3:06 pm
They deserve their millions.They work hard for it.Yummy do you think Asian singers and actresses work harder than western ones?
November 20th, 2007 at 6:50 pm
I think Asian artists HAVE to work harder compared to western artists.
An average western artist might be earning something similar to top Asian artists.

i feel sorry for Asian artists.Why life have to be so unfair?I guess hard work doesnt always pay off .Luck certainly plays role in succsses .
Just like many rich people like Paris Hilton born into wealth and dont have to work hard because its already given to them.

Like for example Lion kills impala or gaselle for food to survive not because he hates it.He has no feelings for his prey ,just survival.

We can survive this world without jumping on others’ head. It’s a matter of choices.
