she's actually only 33 this year which is kind of near the age of the 2nd generation idols e.g SNSD and some of the 3rd gen ones e.g. mamamoo solar/moonbyul, people tend to think she's in her 40s just because she started her career so early when most idols just started training. It's amazing how SM thought to debut a 13 year old.

Happy to see you do a BoA video, man! K-Pop fans love throwing around who "paved the way" but when you really look at it, her success in Japan (being the first artist to do so after SM sank so much money into her for that venture) really proved that there is success for Korean artists outside of Korea. It continued to escalate and KZbin furthered that from then on. She took on the new millennium and helped shape the industry to what it is today. I can go on and on lol. But she was a great catalyst for the Korean artists and one that inspired so many of today. And to answer your question about my favorite songs by her.

I thought for a while that Eat You Up was my introduction to kpop, (though Energetic was my favourite from her English album, as I was still very much into nightclubbing in 2009) but it hadn't occurred to me, or maybe I'd forgotten, that Every Heart was her. I graduated from high school that year. Precious memories. I still love her. ♥️

[@hellothere-xy3pr]

So sorta paved the way for the solo artists. They all are great. Love u BoA!!!!!!

[@DANI-nx2ey]

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS ❤️❤️ what a great way to honor BoA. She's literally the queen of KPOP. Thank you.

Should have mentioned anime, that's where I first heard of BoA and it was an introductory step into K-pop. Good job, as always!

One shot, Two shot is a bop, most underrated song of 2018.

BoA was my introduction to Kpop. Saw the music video for Eat You Up here in the US while at the gym back in 2020. Next thing I know, a little while later I'm at an SM Town concert in the Staples Center in downtown LA having the time of my life!

[@starsparklemonkey3390]

BOA was the first popular Kpop artist in Japan but not the first to promote. SES was promoting on Japanese Music shows.

[@atirsischambers5517]

Thank u, im so glad people recognize that

[@lerulara]

My favourite BoA's song is Eat you up 😍😍 such a banger even after 10 years

[@BlazinNSoul]

Agree that song is so sick!! Personally I loved energetic because to this day. I have not seen a closer Janet Jackson comparison then with that video. BoA can do anything I swear, just saying. :b

[@lilyaratnalilyaratna1375]

Ive been a fan of her for as long as i can remember. And remember that she done it all in solo... Not in a group. Shes brave beautiful n talented.

[@Nik-hy9vu]

Thank you so much for making this. Like Key said in the web series he did with her, I will always be happy as long as BoA continues to make music. I would really like to see her push her boundaries a little more as she's been super tame recently, but I won't complain as long as I continue to see her doing what she loves. I hope for many more years of BoA and her music and I'm hoping that 2020 will be the year that I get to finally see her in person.

She just celebrated Her 20th anniversary in the industry..and released new MV on KZbin..have you guys/gals check it out..? And yes..i stand for Her from 2000..I know that there are so many great female soloists nowadays..but BoA still My No. 1..love Her 'till the end of time..

6:35 SM likes to use these kind of word. Maybe it sounds cool. For example, in SHINee - Lucifer, and f(x) - Electric Shock

[@krystlemiles3213]

As someone commented in another video of her "She LITERALLY walked upside down". Says it all. She always knows how to pull you back in whiplash and all 🤩

Thank you for reminding people who is the QUEEN of Kpop. These young ins need to be taught...♥️♥️♥️

Thank you for doing this !^-^ She is one of my favorite soloists ever. literally grew up listening to her before i even knew what kpop was.

[@jojiramirez2739]

Boa was and still is the most memorable K-pop artist that ever lived. She took over the world by storm. That’s what hard work and dedication does. She was introduced to the US and really showed what she was made of. Amazing artist Boa is.

[@tinewaters2343]

I came back here after seeing the Girls On Top project, I'm so happy BoA will be introduced to 4th gen fans. She will always be SM's pride and Queen of Kpop ✨

[@darkstorm08]

See my first interaction with her is a simple one... My favorite anime... Going off.. Great epsiode stayed up just to watch it... And this song just hits right in the feels.. My first interactions with the foreign music was thru animes like inuyasha.. And when I figured out who sang that song.. This beautiful song... Yeas later after figuring out who snsd was.. It felt like boa was the true reason why.... Now the anime, the song, and now a whole genre of music means so much to me.... Thank you boa

Awesome vid! i remember i got into Kpop in 2003 bc of BoA and was a super fan of hers all the way to 2009 at the time she tried to break into the American market. I went into a kpop hiatus in 2010, then got back into it in 2017 to find BoA was now a director or manager in SM. She's been a Beast from debut to present.

[@KINGCHONG89]

Anime fans- BoA sings the ending song of Inuyasha and theme songs for a couple other anime’s. As you know from watching the video, she’s been around for awhile. Give her the respect she deserves!! Truly the queen! Hey Nathan! Make a video on Bi Rain and another on Tasha/Yoon Mirae! I would love for you to give these new fans info on some of the best! Oooo and Se7en too!

[@TheMorphinecloud]

I started to like her when I listened, every heart when I watched Inuyasha, then amazing kiss on KZbin, it's been while but i still like her music a lot.
