A History of Apop Imports »

1. SM Entertainment audition - 1998
BoA follows one of her older brothers to an SM Entertainment talent search. As fate would have it, BoA ends up auditioning too. BoA is 11 years old. Her older brother is not selected.

2. MTV Asia Awards - 2004
BoA wins big at the 2004 MTV Asia Awards held in Singapore. She is awarded “Most Influential Asian Artist” and “Favorite Artist Korea”. She is 18 years old.

3. Yokohama Arena - 2007
BoA steals the show live on stage with m-flo in front of a massive crowd at Yokohama Arena (pictured). She performs “The Love Bug” with Verbal of m-flo as a special guest for m-flo’s COSMICOLOR TOUR 2007.

4. Top of the ORICON charts - 2008
BoA’s 6th Japanese album “THE FACE” hits #1 on the ORICON charts. Just as importantly, Ayumi Hamasaki’s “GUILTY” only reaches #2 which ends Ayumi’s streak at eight #1 albums. Can BoA take the crown and be the first artist in Japan to chart an incredible nine #1 albums?

5. “Eat You Up” released in USA - 2008
“Eat You Up” is BoA’s first all English single. SM Entertainment USA releases it first as a digital single on iTunes and Amazon.com then on CD. It marks a bold move for BoA into the tough American pop music market. Other Asian artists such as Coco Lee and Utada Hikaru have tried without success. Will BoA be the first to break through?

She was 11? I thought she was 13?

Signed at 11 and began training then released at 13. Her career makes me tired!


I feel so bad for her brother. But I heard he’s in the music biz.


She debuted at 13.


She was 11? I thought she was 13?

I couldn’t believe it when she broke Ayumi’s streak.


Remember when she won Rookie of the Year. That’s was awesome.


I loved her performance with M-Flo.
