Boa Kwon, easily one of Asia’s biggest pop stars, is crossing over to the United States. Even casual fans of Boa know that this is what she’s been groomed for since she was a little kid. However, preparation and talent can only go so far. There’s a lot of factors beyond Boa’s and her management’s control.
The number one reason why we started Ningin was for events such as this. Everyone here has a serious passion about Asian media and would love nothing more than to see Boa and every other Asian pop star succeed worldwide. When Boa’s management contacted us to help promote Boa’s US arrival, we were extremely thrilled to say the least. We understand that communities like Ningin have important roles to play in making changes and so we’re taking this very seriously.
Starting today for the next five days, we’ll be posting articles, photos, and DVD-quality video related to Boa. We created our own special flash video player (nicknamed the Boa Player) just to accomplish this feat. We’ll take a deep look into her history, her achievements, and her goals. We’re even going analytical and see why Asian pop stars have a hard time crossing over. As mentioned before, we have an exclusive video interview with Boa herself and we’ve put together a professional camera team to go film it. Oh, and all this content will be available to download and share under the Creative Commons license. So please download!
Note, the actual interview will go live sometime in the afternoon of Friday, December 5th.
Every day during this event we will be giving out autographed prizes like cds, t-shirts, and one-of-a-kind posters. To be eligible, all you have to do is have a Ningin account and visit us. So if you’re already registered, just visit, if not, it takes less than 30 seconds to register. You can win multiple prizes if you visit multiple days.
As I’m writing this, Boa is in New York City and just finished doing an MTV performance telecasted over Time Square. Ningin sent an entire news team to cover the event and get fan reactions. We’ll be posting this tomorrow or possibly tonight.
