edit

Kwon Bo-ah was born on November 5, 1986.[1][2]At the age of eleven, BoA accompanied her older brother to an SM Entertainment talent search.[3]Though her brother was the one who auditioned as a break-dancer,[2]SMtalent scoutsinstead took notice of BoA and offered her a contract on the same night as the auditions.[2]Her parents initially opposed the notion of BoA leaving school to enter the entertainment business but eventually consented at her older brothers' persuasion.[4]She has said that her early influence as a singer wasSeo Taiji.[2]

BoA underwent two years of training (involving vocal, dance, English, and Japanese lessons), and at the age of thirteen she released her debut albumID; Peace Bin South Korea on August 25, 2000.[2][5]The album was moderately successful; it entered the Top 10 of the South Korean charts and sold around 156,000 units.[6]Meanwhile, her Korean record label, SM Entertainment, made arrangements with Japanese labelAvex Traxto launch her music career in Japan. She was forced to quit school to prepare[2]and in early 2001, BoA released her firstmini-album,Don't Start Now;it sold around 90,000 units. 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.[4]

BoA began her Japanese music career singing at the Avex-owned clubVelfarre.[7]Her debut Japanese album,Listen to My Heart,was released on March 13, 2002. The album was a breakthrough in BoA's career, becoming anRIAJ-certified million-seller and debuted atop the Oricon, the first album by a Korean artist to do so.[6][8]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".After theSeptember 11, 2001 attacks,BoA recorded the charity single "The Meaning of Peace"withKumi Kodaas part of Avex'sSong Nationproject to raise funds for charity.[9][10]From 2001 to 2007, BoA hostedBeat it BoA's World,a radio program on theJapan FM Network.[11]

edit

Her third Japanese studio album,Love & Honesty(January 2004) was a musical "change in direction": it contained a rock-dance song ( "Rock with You") and" harder "R&B.[16][17]Though the album failed to matchValentiin sales, it topped the Oricon chart for two weeks and became RIAJ-certified triple-platinum.[18]In support of the album, BoA held a tour,Live Concert Tour 2004: Love & Honesty,spanning nine performances and attracted approximately 105,000 attendants.[19][7]In contrast with1st Live Tour,which "emphasized exotic Asian design", theLove & Honestytour had an "outer-space, sci-fi" theme; among the props were a three-storey-highspace shipand the robotAsimo.Her firstcompilation album,Best of Soul(February 2005), however, sold over a million copies, making BoA the first non-Japanese Asian singer to have two million-selling albums in Japan.[13]It remained the last album by a foreign artist to have sold over a million copies in Japan for 16 years, untilBTSin 2021.[20]

BoA reinvented her image for her fourth and fifth Korean albums,My Name(June 2004) andGirls on Top(June 2005), shedding the "cute" and "youthful" style that had characterized previous years and adopted a more "sexy" and "sultry" look.[6]The sales of BoA's Korean albums began to decline:My Namesold 191,000 units and became the eleventh-best-selling South Korean album in 2004[21]whileGirls on Topranked fourteenth in 2005 with 113,000 units sold.[22]In September 2004, BoA instigated controversy in Japan when she donated₩50 million to a memorial project forKorean independenceactivist and nationalistAn Jung-geun.[23][24]

BoA lists hip hop as her main musical influence, though she also enjoys R&B. Her favorite musicians areWhitney Houston,[121]Michael Jackson,Justin Timberlake,andNe-Yo;[122]as a result, much of BoA's music is eitherdance-popor R&B. Because she also singsballads,she is often compared to Japanese singersNamie AmuroandAyumi Hamasaki.Her debut album,ID; Peace B,containedurban pop,"slickly produced" ballads, and "upbeat dance tunes". As her career went on, she began experimenting with different styles:Valenticontained mostly ballads;Love and Honestywas an experiment with "harder" R&B and rock music.[16]

Though her earlier releases were marked by a "cute" and "youthful" style, BoA began to present a more "mature" image starting from the albumMy Name.In aTalk Asiainterview,Anjali Raonoted that some felt thatMy Namemarked the beginning of BoA's decline in popularity and asked if the public would always see the singer as "Little Baby BoA"; BoA replied, "So while I apologize to those people who still want the baby BoA, in fact, what can I do? I just keep growing up! I can't stop that from happening."[4]

The Facewas influenced byelectropop[36]and included "happy spring" songs ( "Sweet Impact"and" Bad Drive "), a guitar-driven" groovy dance "song ("Lose Your Mind"), and ballads.[123][124][125]Because the composition and writing of BoA's songs is handled mostly by her staff, BoA has been criticized as being a "manufactured pop star". In response to such criticism, BoA said that "if one person were to force their own will on something, then things that should have gone right could easily go wrong" and that she is "not all that unhappy with the expression that [she is] a manufactured star. In a way, that is true. Because SM Entertainment created the environment and all the surrounding conditions, [she is] able to be successful in the way [she is] now."[4]She later assumed creative control withThe Face,[36]whileKiss My Lipsbecame her first entirely self-written, self-produced album.[81][82]

BoA has collaborated with high-profile artists. Among the Japanese artists she has performed with are the hip hop groupM-Flo(for the single "The Love Bug"), pop singerKumi Koda,andhouseDJMondo Grosso.She has performed with Western artists: the song "Flying Without Wings" from her albumNext Worldwas a collaboration with Irish bandWestlifecovering theoriginal song;theBratzsingle "Show Me What You Got"was performed withHowie Dof the American bandBackstreet Boys.[16]She also worked withAkon,singing the song "Beautiful",which was featured on the Japanese release of his third album,Freedom.[126]Other artists she has collaborated with areSoul'd Out,Dabo, Verbal (of M-Flo), Rah-D,Seamo,TVXQ,Yutaka Furakawa (of the band Doping Panda), andCrystal Kay(for her single "After Love: First Boyfriend/Girlfriend").[127]American rock bandWeezercovered "Meri Kuri"on the Japanese version of their albumWeezer.[128]

BoA is regarded as one of South Korea's most influential and prominent singers and is widely referred to as the "Queen of K-pop",[129][130][131][132]in recognition of her contributions in spearheading theKorean waveinto Japan.[133][134]BoA's success in the Japanese market has been deemed a catalyst in the Japanese interest in Korean pop music beginning in the early 2000s, when the two countries began promoting cultural exchanges since the end ofWorld War II.[135][2]Music critics have recognized BoA for improving "civil relations between the Korean and Japanese public through her music and appearances in Japanese radio and television",[136]with Oxford Political Review noting "BoA's role in strengthening Japan-South Korea ties as a cultural envoy".[137]In Alisa Freedman'sIntroducing Japanese Pop Culture,BoA was noted for "herald[ing] a new phase of Japanese engagement with Korean singers", registering "remarkable success during the first half of the 2000s in Japan". She highlighted that the timing of her success coincided with several political and cultural developments; these of which include the implementation of Korea's Open-Door Policy, theKorea Japan 2002 FIFA World Cup,and the popularity of the drama seriesWinter Sonata.Freedman evaluated BoA's career path and localization strategies in Japan for having set "the first trend" of the Korean wave into the country.[135]

Voxhailed BoA as "one of South Korea's best-known exports" in the years after her debut whileThe Korea Timescalled BoA "the forerunner of the new generation of idols who popularized K-pop in Japan and elsewhere."[138][139]In 2004, theMinistry of Culture, Sports and Tourismhonored BoA with the Asian Cultural Exchange Merit Award for her contributions in raising the status of K-pop throughout Asia.[140]The Diplomatstated that BoA "paved the way" for future K-pop artists "to later captivate Japanese fans despite souring relations between Seoul and Tokyo." Music critic Lim Jin-mo wrote that BoA "opened many doors for pop acts from her country in the second largest music market in the world", acting "as a figurehead for breakthroughs in Japan for South Korean acts" and became "a pivotal figure in K-pop's history". Yim Hyun-su fromThe Korea Heraldviewed her for "forever changing the landscape of South Korea's music industry".[141]In 2016, she was honored with the Presidential Commendation at theKorean Popular Culture and Arts Awardsfor her contributions to the spread of the Korean wave, and for laying "the foundation for the revival of K-pop".[142]

With nearly 15 years in the entertainment industry, BoA has little to prove in Korea, where she's widely regarded as a pioneer in K-pop's modern-day international platform.

In 2013, 50 music experts, professors and critics organized byMnetnamed BoA one of the 100 most influential artists in South Korean music.[144]"No. 1"was ranked number 27 in a 2006Gallup Koreasurvey of 100 all-time favorite Korean songs[145]and was included in Mnet's Legend 100 list of popular Korean songs since the 1960s.[146]In 2021, a panel of 35 music experts organized byMelonandSeoul Shinmunranked "No. 1" and "Atlantis Princess"number 1 and number 93 in their list of the greatest K-pop songs of all time.[130]Critic Rhian Daly forThe Forty-Fiveranked "Atlantis Princess" number 1 in her list of the best K-pop songs of all-time.[147]Rolling Stoneranked "No. 1" at number 18 in their list of the greatest songs in the history of K-pop, writing it represents "her most emblematic crossover hit".[148]

BoA has been cited by many artists in the South Korean music industry as an influence and role model,[149]includingAespa,[150]Girls' Generation'sTaeyeon,[151]Sunny,[152]Tiffany,[153]Hyoyeon,[154]Seohyun,[155]Shinee'sKey,[156]Exo'sSehun,[157]Red Velvet'sIrene,[158]Ailee,[159]Chungha,[160]Yukika Teramoto,[161]Kwon Eun-bi,[162]Baek A-yeon,[163]Mamamoo'sSolar,[164]f(x)'sLuna,[165]Kiss of Life'sNatty,[166]Lovelyz's Kei,[167]andBilllie's Tsuki.[168]Aespa's Giselle said in aRolling Stoneinterview that "Everyone knows her.
