I'm a year older than BoA, but I discovered her back in 2000 when I was starting high school. It was when her very first Korean album "ID; Peace B" had just recently been released and I've been following her singing in Korean, Japanese and English ever since. Living in a small town in Canada I was bullied at the time for listening to foreign music. It's both kinda funny and also wonderful how now K-POP has become popular enough for some artists to even be regularly sold in stores carrying CDs and LPs. I just really wish BoA was one of those artists. Would be nice to still not have to import her CDs and DVDs/Blurays.

@Noblesavage31

I’m from New Orleans la young black male living in the projects, I was popular and a street dude, everyone was amazed I can sing her music 2003-2010 boa walked so they can run

@Crownrita

@yahkangyounghyun7267

I've known BoA since I was a child bc my mom listens to her song 'jewel song'. I regret stanning her this hard just now. She is truly cut out to make the best of music

@quincycamo7577

She is simply beautiful. And this MV shows it better than any in my humble opinion.
(yeah, I know I'm not humble, but she has that effect.)
