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.

She was lucky then, if she had the opportunity to study foreign languages, singing and dance. Was she the one who sang “Every Heart” in Inuyasha?

To the people who say that BoA is becoming “wild” or “slutty”
One, she doesn’t have control of that. BoA’s managers decide the look they will give her. BoA herself has said that she feels uncomfortable with the term “sexy” but face it, that’s one sells.
Two. BoA being emo. Um, yeah, one statement of her not being extremely happy says that she’s emo. Seriously, do you guys think before you type? It’s understandable why BoA may feel burned out; she’s been in the industry since she was fourteen, has been working nonstop, and has had to deal with the public’s eyes and criticism all along. How would you feel in her shoes, having no break for seven years?
Three: Plastic surgery. No, I do not believe that BoA’s had plastic. For one, what do I hear about her becoming skinny because she had plastic?! BoA got skinny because a). she went through pubery, and b). She lost a lot of weight from dancing; she’s said herself that she works out a lot, does weight lifting and yoga, and has dancing practice. Obviously, she’s thin for that reason. Also, puberty will chance some of your feature’s appearance. People say that she’s had plastic on her nose. Look up pictures of her family; one of her brothers and her father both have sharp noses, just like BoA’s. Obviously, it’s inherited. Her eyes have stayed the same, but she lose her baby fat, thus why her face is now skinnier, which some people claim is plastic, but it’s not, seeing as she DID go through puberty.
God, do you guys think that she’s GOD or something? That she can’t be unhappy ever? BoA is only human, don’t forget that.
