BoA flew to Korea to support her brother’s business launch

Boa_200712_3

Pop princess, BoA flew in from Japan to support her brother’s launch of accessory brand, BB Simon.  BoA’s brother, Kwon Soon Ok is better known as a music video director, but he is now entering the biz world with his little sis, BoA’s full support.

BoA gave her best on a tiny stage at a Cheongdam Club, singing her hit songs including “My Name,” “Girls on Top” and “MOTO.” Good to see BoA giving back to her brother, who was instrumental in creating BoA. When Kwon Soon Ok auditioned at SM, father Sooman asked him if he had a younger sibling who wanted to audition and the rest is history.

BoA will attend NHK’s biggest awards ceremony on December 31, 2007.

Check out the clips and more pics after the jump.

    I didn’t know that whole “brother auditioning” thing was true.
    I thought it was just a rumor, but at least he’s successful too.
    I’m glad. BoA looking gorgeous as always.
    I love “My Name”.

    she’s still fabulous with these songs and always amazing in whatever she wears

  4. 4 BKJSuh December 24, 2007 at 10:53 am

    That’s sweet of her.

    BoA owes so much to her.

    The her bro auditioning is true… it was on news when she started.

  5. 5 d0a2 December 24, 2007 at 11:10 am

  7. 7 Star December 24, 2007 at 12:24 pm

  8. 8 Blah. December 24, 2007 at 12:52 pm

    Whoa..BoA’s in her own country for once. Crazy.

  9. 9 eli December 24, 2007 at 12:53 pm

    aww thats so sweet of her! ^^

  10. 10 Brina December 24, 2007 at 12:55 pm

    Aw how cute. Too bad her outfit isn’t. Yuck..

  11. 11 Mac December 24, 2007 at 12:56 pm

    aww bless her! That was really great of her to support her brother. She is a brand herself so this will be good publicity.

  12. 12 anecia December 24, 2007 at 12:57 pm

    Didn’t one of the Dongbangdhingki…Micky isit?Bought a necklace from BB simon

  13. 13 Cassidy December 24, 2007 at 1:31 pm

    Must be nice for a business to have a younger sister like BoA!

  14. 14 Ann*e December 24, 2007 at 2:14 pm

    that’s so cute/nice!
    go boa<3

  15. 15 ... December 24, 2007 at 2:55 pm

    that’s very nice of BoA, supporting her brother :D

  16. 16 jyyjc December 24, 2007 at 3:13 pm

    that’s so cute, i love the first picture where she looks like she’s fixing his hair. her outfit’s ok, i like it better than the one she wore for the anyband concert.

  17. 17 yetaz December 24, 2007 at 4:00 pm

    dont give a rat’s a$$ for this one. it’s boa.

  18. 18 daneil December 24, 2007 at 4:45 pm

    ^ if you don’t even give a rat’s ass for this post? obviously you do… why waste your time to type out a comment?

    anyways, thats great to see that shes supporting her brother. He did quite well with his other jewelry brand so it seems like bbsimon were putting a lot a trust into his hands. i feel sorry for her shes always going back and forth.
    she really needs a korean comeback though.

  19. 19 wink December 24, 2007 at 5:26 pm

    i think hes a great oppa!

  20. 20 apple3_pi3 December 24, 2007 at 5:34 pm

    BoA lives in japan?!?!

  21. 21 monalisa December 24, 2007 at 7:02 pm

    I can think of another celebrity who’s just as supportive of his sibling’s career – Lee Wan. You can spot him whenever noona Kim Tae hee is holding any press conferences/promotions.

  22. 22 penguin_x3 December 24, 2007 at 7:41 pm

    ehh…she’s probably only doing this for publicity, she hasn’t been in Korea for freakin ever. I think she might be a little forgotten so she decides to come back for support of her brother so that people can remember her just a little. her brother’s pretty cute though

  23. 23 aspsofeda December 24, 2007 at 8:15 pm

    she has not been forgotten but her popularity has died down because of her absence. But she has been in korea, haven’t you seen the anycall ads and concert?

    is it really a publicity stunt? it is known that her brother’s and her are pretty close. they go to her japanese concerts. i think this is the dude who even took pictures and put them up on his cy.

    Isn’t it funny how a celebrity can’t even go do a small favor for a family memember without being questioned if its for their own publicity stunt?

  24. 24 ChocolateCake December 24, 2007 at 9:04 pm

    That’s really nice of her. I bet she’s been busy(and overworked?) for her upcoming comeback. I wonder how long has it been since she’s been with her family…

  25. 25 junsufan December 24, 2007 at 10:26 pm

    oh GOOD.at least she’s at Korea. :D
    And it’s not for publicity or whatever..
    can’t someone do a favor for her own family.. -__-

  26. 26 for real December 24, 2007 at 11:50 pm

    Brother looks nothing like Boa. Boa had her plastic surgeries in Japan right? Japan is better than Korea when it comes to that.

  27. 27 for real December 24, 2007 at 11:54 pm

    As for her supporting her brother…it’s funny how everyone is complimenting how nice that is. Why, wouldn’t you do the same for your own family?? This is the first time hearing her supporting her fam. She should always do so.

  28. 28 Teuki December 25, 2007 at 12:52 am

    Love BoA’s outfit. Really? Her brother tried out? Did he make it? Well, probably not because I haven’t seen him on the Kpop scene @_@

  29. 29 rocketfuel December 25, 2007 at 1:26 am

    For real,

    what makes you think she doesn’t support her family like as if it’s a rare occasion? Just because you don’t hear about it doesn’t mean she doesn’t do it.


    “is it really a publicity stunt” – umm, yup that’s exactly what it is.

    It’s Boa using her fame for her brother because her name is a bigger brand than the best selling soju in Korea. She doesn’t need to spend more time or remind people in Korea she’s still around…she makes more money in Japan in a year than most gayoos in Korea ever will in a lifetime.

  30. 30 Min A December 25, 2007 at 1:34 am

    boa’s choice of clothing is getting shorter and shorter by day. what happened to the nice dresses? now she’s just throwing on tunics over the black short shorts…anywayz, she probably hasn’t seen her brother for years since she hasn’t been in korea for long periods of time. i think going to her brother’s lauching party is a must, being they are family..and what kind of family will not go and support family?

  31. 31 SuperAzn December 25, 2007 at 2:34 am

    Aww thats cool of her…but its sad that those are really the only songs she can choose from….wheres her korean album that was supposed to come out this year?! Oh well, it probably wont come out for a while since she wants some time to live life.

  32. 32 whatever~ December 25, 2007 at 6:56 am

    I agree with rocketfuel~

  33. 33 wow December 25, 2007 at 7:32 am

    those are not her usual backup dancers o.o
    what happened to them

  34. 34 han December 25, 2007 at 8:01 am

    i love her
    but she needs new korean songs… =3

  35. 35 aspsofeda December 25, 2007 at 10:29 am

    she does support her brothers.
    just because its not out in the media doesn’t mean she doesn’t see them or anything.

    she used up 4-5 passports going back and forth.
    her brothers go to almost every concert she has. but i think the older dude went to the army.

    she has been in korea.
    even though she didn’t release an album she had ost songs. CFs and has been going back and forth.

  36. 36 xoxo December 25, 2007 at 6:40 pm

    that’s so nice of her.. well yeah, her dressers becomes shorter each say haha.. but i think she can carry it.. well god bless her, and merry xmas to her.. haha.. i think she has more offers in japan than in korea.. or maybe i’m just used on seeing her singing japanese songs haha.. well anyway good luck to her.. ^^

  37. 37 xoxo December 25, 2007 at 6:41 pm

    haha, i mean her dresses and each day.. ^^, sorry wrong type.. haha!

  38. 38 rainboa15 December 25, 2007 at 11:28 pm

  40. 40 Alisha December 26, 2007 at 5:47 pm

    I haven’t seen BoA in Korea for ages! I keep seeing her in those Japanese talkshows. (^o^) That’s sweet that her brother tries to go to every of her concert.

  41. 41 xoxo December 26, 2007 at 9:10 pm

    ahm, dis is not does not really have any connection w/ the news.. ahm, hey popseoul.. do you know seo yeon??.. do you now the reason why she fell out fame?.. she was once known as.. “next boa” i’m just really curious.. hehe.. tnx!~

    AJA AJA BOA ~!!! hahahah..

  42. 42 Dovey December 27, 2007 at 2:06 pm

    Awww, that’s nice of her.

  43. 43 chadhova December 28, 2007 at 1:32 am

    Maybe she would spend more time in Korea if Koreans would actually support her. At least in the realm of sales.

    There’s a reason why a lot of successful Korean artists try branch out to Japan or China. People actually spend money in larger markets. Imagine that.

  44. 45 han January 17, 2008 at 4:52 pm

    poor the guy…at last his dream can come true. btw is it me or her skirt is shorter nowadays? tall is definitely an advantage

  45. 46 V-ni April 12, 2008 at 8:16 pm
