Taking a page from Namie Amuro with the long copper hair, Boa is back in the motherland for the SMTOWN LIVE 08 concert on a rainy Saturday, August 15th 2008. Dare I say the popstar looks more “mature” in the picture above now that she’s 21. Maybe the rumored hormone injections have been paying off.
Boa performed hits, “Moto,” “My name,” “Girls on top” and “Rock with you” The 21 year old singer was joined by other SM acts- Dong Bang Shin Ki (DBSK), Super Junior, SHINee, Girls Generation (SNSD), The Grace.
lmfao the first picture makes her butt look really big
AW SECOND.
She’s damn hot.
Honestly ( man Boa’s fans going to bash me for this) I don’t think she’s sexy at all even though she tried hard to be so. Hate it but Hyoree is better for that job. Sporty+ a bit of seduction is her style. Not slutty. Beside I like her best at her Atlantis Princess era. *snip snip*
yay! boa! she does look a bit more mature… but i love her hat.
Hormone injections?!
^^
same question
I really cannot understand why she’s so popular. i listened to a few of her singles on youtube, and they are, at best, mediocre.
dang her backup dancers are midgets like BoA. and why does she look so old, like late 20s-early 30ish
Interesting lapel.
hormone injections? since when?
dame. can you fckuing type her name right at least?
it’s BoA!!!!
i don’t think they were hormone injections, her arse just got fat from doing nothing
Can’t even tell that she’s really short.
if boa hopes to keep korean fans….she needs to come out with some new stuff instead of just performing her old stuff…it’s old stuff…it’s getting old. she needs something new to freshen up her image.
i like how BoA doesnt have to show much skin to show she can be sexy or needing to get more attention…..i truly believe if BoA would have released an album at the same time as HyoRi i would bet that BoA’s album sales number would be so much higher than Hyori’s…..
about her ass being ‘big’ i believe that it looks that way by how the picture is taken and how she danced at that particular moment
i read somewhere that BoA’s height is average for S.Korean women
^ It isn´t. She´s on the short side, even for Korean women. That doesn´t stop her from being truly talented though, so it´s alright.
ok…
if the hormone injections are true they should stop
and focus on her hight issue cause she is SHORT!
sorry not a BoA fan! But seriously she is short!
amuro namie > boa
We can see her panty in the first pic <3
I agree with “meeep”. I don’t get the hype in her, but maybe I’m just clueless. She just doesn’t interest me? Can someone enlighten me? I try.
those who dont get whats the hype about BoA, it means you’re just way too young i.e. HUGE generation gap.
so shut up and give some respect to the artist who has come a long way debuting at 14 years old.
isn’t she 5′3″ or 4″?
if so, she’s def average height …
i mean i’m 5′3″ ish and honestly i feel really tall at times next to all my friends.
Adam, no need to comment like that. I wasn’t trying to ‘disrespect’ her. I never said she sucked or anything, so chill.
^dont believe kpop artist profile heights.
but yes, she is a woman now =]
what’s all this talk about her height. yeah, she is short, so what? BIG DEAL!
those saying she is old like ajuhmma, you guys are obviously not her fans or don’t even care what bs you’re saying. it’s call makeup, you know, stuff that you apply to your face? once she wipes that stuff off, she looks just like 21, if not younger.
I missed her soo much! T-T Its sooo good to see her agian!!
BoA is so pretty & natural! I’m glad that she’s back in Korea!
DAYUM! BoA doesn’t need to show so much skin like Hyori to be sexy. BoA has a sophisticated, mature sexiness, which is much better than showing yourself in full glory to be sexy.
Do koreans really give a sh*t about Boa anymore?
First time I heard about Boa, I thought she was Japanese since she practically lives there!
^ yes they give a *sh*t about her.
rolls eyes
People complain how flat she is but now theres a picture of her taken while dancing and her butt is sticking out so now its too big? ITS ALL IN ANGLES.
Shes not trying hard to be sexy. Where does that show in this picture? If your trying really hard to be sexy that would be hyori chae yeon etc. Where they show lots of skin and shake everything they got. no offense.
Everyone talks about. If she can do her job then why the hell does it matter? Shes come a long way. I don’t love her but she deserves the credit.
she looks so old in d pic.. haha.
People please, she doesn’t even HAVE an ass. o.o
She’s always been really flat. And she’s old news now anyway.
wtf so what if a person is short? What is with people here dissing/fussing about short people all of a sudden?
I agree with Sarai! She is old news!
I used to like her, but have totally forgotten her! I still respect her though cause she’s been in the business forever, but nowadays I’m not sure if she can compete with these new idols!
i never find her voice to be awesome.. only some of her songs are good.. but her voice to me is kinda annoying.. there are better singers out there.. SM artist are just too overrated.. its annoying
Not a big fan of Boa, but she looks cute
But she can’t be as sexy as Hyolee U___U
Btw, I didn’t read a lot of news about her? Is she silently disappearing ? Or maybe it’s just me =.=
I can’t wait to watch these performances. I was wondering what BoA has been doing after her tour. I actually thought she wasn’t going to show for this, guess I was wrong.
she’s hella hot
i would tap that booty ; )
Yes she looks so mature, but she’s jus 21 years old and why “hormone injections ” , are you crazy or stupid
I do not think it was appropriate, since at that age then you have a completely perfect skin .. without acne XD (finished the teenager ..)
you want her skin? o_ô or because you find her tired?
You really find anything to make a scandal … XD
Otherwise I find she is beautiful and radiant especially when it is present with these singers-friends ^ ^ she looks so crazy with her funny moves ^^
BoA the Queen ^^!
BoA’s growing into a woman yo! she doesn’t need what crap hormone injections because once your body hits 22, the weight gain, wrinkles and whatever crap will be creeping in. it’s all natural, and i believe popseoul! sister should have gone through this period before herself..
i just hope BoA will age gracefully…
보아 짱!
BoA is one of the few Korean popstars I used to listen to a lot and still do - I love all her songs…
BoA never really known for her “sexiness” - mainly because she became famous when she’s like a little girl and probably didn’t even hit puberty so she looks a little “kiddish” in most of her famous MVs - although in latest pictures she does look freaking HOT in a way now that she’s 21…her azz does look deliciously round hehe…
no offence but…. BoA is so overrated
To all those people saying BoA is overrated, then you must have not been around when she was making it big. At that time, she was one of a kind and she was the reason many people got into kpop and jpop. You can’t deny her credit for the things she has achieved in the asian pop scene.
The only reason why people think she’s not that good is because she’s different from the artists that are out today, like DBSK, Wondergirls and etc. But then you can’t go comparing like that, it’s like comparing Aretha Franklin to Fergie. Completely different times. I don’t listen to BoA songs now but I used to when she was at her prime.
Btw, I challenge anyone who can name a female artist who can dance as well as her. Those who say Hyori obviously has no clue about dancing.
I hate Boa
HER SONGS SUCK!!!!!!!!!
^ you hate yourself
^^ you must realize half the ppl in this blog were babies or not listening to music at their age when boa was truly popular. shes been around for 9 years and for a strong 9 years. she is the reason kpop/jpop has gained so much popularity over the years. she is the beatles of the 21st century thus far for asian music. name another artist who has topped charts consistently in past 9 years? seo taiji? epic but was away for a long time. dbsk? give them another decade to see if theyre still around. shinhwa? probably the closest i think in terms of kpop. namie amuro? not as long lived as boas run.
you have a point on the dancing too. just try name a better dancer than boa who can sing.
It’s true she did many things for Korea ans the KPOP music, indeed it is through it that the kpop east as it is.
Why, then, “overestimated”? you are therefore poorly informed,
BoA began training a 13 years (age European) and started singing at 15 years, this has impressed the media and the public first because at his age his live performance was perfect and that it provided much his singing when she danced, sometimes you said she was dancing better than his dancers …
Then may from time after BoA is the first Korean Korean revolutionized music in the Japanese market, while it will take a large hill and affect the whole of Asia from his experience. The Korea was proud of having such an artist in his hands, because it had an image of permanent worker and his energy on stage impressed the crowd.
BoA grows and begins to change their style, it is more mature and wants to assert his work during his long years (the fact that she worked early and long-that is to say 3 months of vacation a year I believe). As you can see it a lot out of these albums pendants 7 years and for such a young age.
I can tell you how it is strong; sing three songs to live outdoors, dancing and smiling at his audience while having broken ankle, I call it courage (A-NATION key .. of heart ..) faint after his spectacular performance M.net Over the Top s after being trained three times and if you look at pending repetitions you can see how it has become a scene of a different scene 10/15 metres further, you want to know how? and it contributes the two scenes behind the entire public, just for that.
She did everything for his glory, without putting this naked in front of the spotlight. As some stupid girls who want easy money. She tooks a difficult path for his age, and she succeeds.
So I can tell you that this is a bomb of talent and such a force mentality.
And now she is an artist who represents the Hallyu, the Korean wave, it may seem tired now, it will form, because we know what she lived, and finally rewarded with his glory.
Just to say that it deserves that one is proud of what she did.
So say we hate is completely ironic.
She is only 22 years and has a great glory behind her.
Ehh I never really liked her, she’s pretty with this look, although Namie > BoA…it’s just that (yeah, yeah, the crazy netizens will kill me, but) most Korean (especially female) artists sound the same…at least she manages to look classy and not trashy like the others.
boa is hott ^__^
she is teh queen. lol
when BoA was compared to the Beatles, I seriously believe that was a lapse of judgement. BoA may be a famous and verrryy popular artist, but she can’t compare to the Beatles in musical quality and substance. It is a timeless musical group that has fans from every generation since it came about. BoA may have much more skills than the average modern k-popper, but I believe that 20 years from now, people throughout the world will still remember and respect the Beatles more strongly than they will BoA. …and why are ppl picking on her for being short? she looks fine..
I’d so hit that.
repeatedly. consistently.
…oh and her music is pretty good too. her longevity and popularity is undeniable.
BoA is a amazing singer, and shes pretty… definately above average and at least she got talents. Hyori is hot but not the hottest.. and she got no talents and have to use her body to make money
logicaldeath, people don’t get wrinkles when they hit the early twenties. are you out of your mind?
@domine
Yah I went a little overboard with that Beatles thing, but its hard to find a suitable comparison when during that time European (mostly British) and American music basically ruled international airwaves. Korea and Asia as a whole has never had that type of power internationally ever. But if you look at Korean music in its entirety as well as Japanese music, there is no POP star that has dominated on such a scale that Boa has. So maybe a healthier comparison might be the Madonna of Asia? At least is only one women this time.
i remember my first time watching BoA perform live and she is AWESOME! She really knows how to work the stage. My favorite performance of hers would have to be the MKMF 2005 music awards. The energy is just exploding.
The image I like best on her is probably a slightly boyish yet sporty and a little sexy! only a little! She looks great regardless.
It’s been 3 years since she’s released a Korean album. I think her contract ended on her 5th album. She definitely renewed but what happened to the albums!?!? Still waiting!!
“So maybe a healthier comparison might be the Madonna of Asia?”
Actually, Faye Wong was immensely popular in Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Taiwan and even to the west as well. Sure, her popularity is not as crazy as people are about Korean boybands nowadays (although Faye Wong has a wider fanbase), but for the standard back then, everyone loved her and her critics were far in between. I don’t think BoA has that sort of iconic image, yet.
Oh, and I don’t get why people are criticizing BoA’s butt in the photo. Do you guys like flat deflated butts like Hyori’s? Ha. BoA has curves, she’s suppose to since she’s a WOMAN. Talk about having a REAL S-line.
tall people, short people = criticize.
it’s the angle that makes a difference.
seriously, no one can please any one.
c has changed a lot not bad….i think itz bcoz the help of her muzic industry she got so popular and success until now…. her songs are ok itz not really good nor bad bu yea c iz preety
c iz only 21 bu she looks more mature than b4…..used 2 luv her b4 rather than now…. she was natural but now m not sure
@yuna kim [1st to post]
what’s sup with tat? what the heck are u laughin at?
sick of those lol’s, lmao’s….
she has enough money- she should get some injections.
BoA is HOT.
She can look mature/sexy while being cute at the same time.
that’s how awesome she is. =D
Man, there can be only one BoA, and boy am I glad she’s back. She need a real good comeback, and I believe she’ll have on helluva good one. People must not forget BoA, cos she’s just done so much for the Kpop industry
BOA does look ‘old’. She does not look like she’s in her early twenties. It could also be that she surrounds herself with an older crowd, regardless she is an entertainer unlike Hyori. I would have to agree with the comment above, who likes a flat butt. BOA but does not look BIG.
I totally agreed with Mojo about Hyolee dancing skills. Yeah i know she is hot as usual but i dont reckon her style at all..its just not my type.
If i would to choose between BoA and Hyolee, my vote goes to BoA definately, even though im not BoA fan…
BoA its just like DBSK cos they choose to go the hard way to succceed both in Korea and Japan!
Unlike some lame korean celebrity like SNSD who behave childishly where they are trying so hard to act cute and innocent (where actually they are not at all) to shot to fame. In the end these foolish celebrity had will attract even more anti fan….
None of us have the right to judge her.
@liz:if you want i can tell you how to fall in love with her. It’s the most easy thing to do in this world because she is really irresistible. Just give her a try.
again…sexy became an issue….
why you guys have to compare her with other sexier celebrities….BoA dont need that, she dont have to sexy to be successful…
she’s not selling her bodily exposure…
***DBSK HATERZ***
LMAO. It’s funny
most of SM’s artists are overrated
even father SM…
