It was promoted with several singles: the Top 20 hit " ID Peace B" (originally from the eponymous album), " Amazing Kiss", " Kimochi wa Tsutawaru", the Top 5 hit "Listen to My Heart," and the Top 10 " Every Heart: Minna no Kimochi". The album was a breakthrough in BoA's career, becoming an RIAJ-certified million-seller and debuted atop the Oricon, the first album by a Korean artist to do so. Her debut Japanese album, Listen to My Heart, was released on March 13, 2002. īoA began her Japanese music career singing at the Avex-owned club Velfarre. After its release, she took a hiatus from the Korean music industry to focus on the Japanese market at which time she worked to solidify her skills in Japanese. She was forced to quit school to prepare and in early 2001, BoA released her first mini-album, Don't Start Now it sold around 90,000 units. Meanwhile, her Korean record label, SM Entertainment, made arrangements with Japanese label Avex Trax to launch her music career in Japan. The album was moderately successful it entered the Top 10 of the South Korean charts and sold around 156,000 units. īoA underwent two years of training (involving vocal, dance, English, and Japanese lessons), and at the age of thirteen she released her debut album ID Peace B in South Korea on August 25, 2000. She has said that her early influence as a singer was Seo Taiji. Her parents initially opposed the notion of BoA leaving school to enter the entertainment business but eventually consented at her older brothers' persuasion. Though her brother was the one who auditioned as a break-dancer, SM talent scouts instead took notice of BoA and offered her a contract on the same night as the auditions. She is the only foreign artist with three albums that have sold more than one million copies in Japan and one of only three female artists with six consecutive number-one studio albums on the Oricon charts since her debut, the others being Japanese singers Ayumi Hamasaki and Hikaru Utada.Ĭareer 2000–2003: Debut and commercial success in South Korea and Japan Īt the age of eleven, BoA accompanied her older brother to an SM Entertainment talent search. With the release of her debut Japanese studio album, Listen to My Heart (2002), BoA became the first South Korean pop star to break through in Japan following the fall of barriers that had restricted the import and export of entertainment between the countries since the end of World War II. On television, she appeared as a judge on the reality competition show K-pop Star (2011–2013), as an actress on the television drama Listen to Love (2016), as a host for the second season of Produce 101 (2017), and as a coach for the third season of The Voice of Korea (2020).īoA's ability to sing in Japanese, English and Mandarin helped her find commercial success beyond South Korea, in China, Japan, Taiwan, and Singapore. BoA has released twenty studio albums, including ten in Korean, nine in Japanese, and one in English. She was trained for two years and made her debut in August 2000. One of the most successful and influential Korean entertainers, she has been dubbed the " Queen of K-pop." īorn and raised in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, BoA was discovered by SM Entertainment talent agents when she accompanied her older brother, a music video director, to a talent search in 1998. Next thing was to cover the black jacket with the satin fabric in the exact same pattern as the real jacket design.Kwon Bo-ah ( Korean: 권보아 born November 5, 1986), known professionally as BoA, is a South Korean singer, songwriter, dancer, producer and actress. And thank God I found the jacket that I wanted. Instead of cutting fabric and making it from zero, I decided to buy a second hand jacket. I was a lazy person, so building a jacket from zero will be a big-serious-problem. But I already spent so much for 6 colors of satin fabrics, so I didn't have much choice, I had to make it work! At first I regreted it because satin was to shinny. Because it costs so much for the real jacket fabric. The jacket consists of various colors: black, tosca, blue, yellow, red, and white. If the only problem I found was the jacket, then I decided to make the jacket instead of making the top, pants, and hat for the all black costume. But the basic top and pants BoA wears were easier to find than the all black costume. There was a picture shows the original design of BoA's Jacket from Fig and Viper brand and It costs thousands yen! Clearly, buying the jacket wasn't a good solution for my problem. Then I tried to browse on the internet about BoA street costume.
