All my friends, me included, have at one point in time succumbed to the American lifestyle of eating too much and gaining unwanted poundage (10 to 25 pounds). If you check out the portions served at many restaurants, it’s not for 1 but for 2-3 regular sized persons. The amount of food is just crazy. And so without realizing how much you are eating (because everyone else eats a lot), you end up gaining weight. Case in point : BoA
At the year end SBS Gayo Daejun on December 30th, the girl looks like she’s been packing on the pounds on her face. Of course, the big mullet hair is trying to hide the fact, but we spot the fullness in her cheeks. Not that there is anything wrong with looking “healthy,” but if she continues to chow down the American way, the girl is in for a long slippery slope of chunkiness.
But we are sure that SM would never let her reach the full potential of chipmunk-hood.
Check out her performance (note how there are rarely any closeups of her face)






Good. She’s not anorexic looking anymore
but her face does look a bit chubbier… or masculine?
whatever, she’s a beast. it’s inhuman to be that awesome.

She seems to have gain a bit of weight which is just wonderful because she looks way to skinny in the previous years. She looks healthier know.
i think she look fine!!!
at least her english got better…a little.. haha
she doesn’t look bad, i’d say.
mmm..
at least her backup dancers are cool
yeah..i think she’s fine…at least she’s happy(i hope so..XD)
btw…BoA, HWAITING!!!
Hey, leave her alone!
At least she is so much better that voiceless Wondergirls!
Perhaps it’s just a haircut… I am not sure why POPSEOUL is so judgmental about her weight…I don’t see any problems when person looks happy and healthy. BOA ROCKS!
oh well.. she’s still amazing even when’s she’s fat x)
at least better than her moto days in korea. she looks like a stick!!
i dont really see it..shes always had kinda a fat face…her hair not helping me like her tho..and her voice is sooo nazily…her dancings pretty good tho
I don’t think it should matter.
Besides, she’ll get back in shape
since she’s always on stage. And
sometimes her hair cuts express her
face too much. The hair looks kinda
gross, it just doesn’t make her look
too good. Her other hairstyles have
suited her a lot better. This cut
make her look…manlyish. She needs
a more elegant cut. ~.~
well I think it’s her hair…awful hairstyle in my eyes:P doesn’t really suit her because it makes her face chubby!
well she looks pretty healthy to me…most of the other korean celebrities look awfully skinny…I’d like to see if they eat at all because sometimes it looks so anorexic!
I don’t think she gained any weight…why don’t people focus on what an extraordinary performance she put on instead?
I think it’s the hair. Ack!
so what if shes put on some weight…she looks good.
Ironic how the song is titled “Eat You Up”
whats the big deal!!???!!!..she looks way better than all twigs out there lol..i swear, they could have all cuts and bruises on their legs but as far as theyre skinny its all good to them lol-eww.
Yes a girl that looks well balanced and not like a stick figure with no curves, just narrow and bony is the picture of pure health!
Seriously wtf? She looks great!
BoA is not chubby. She looks the same as she always does (amazing!) it’s just the hair-do and the clothes. All PopSeoul ever does is write bad articles about the artists going over to America. Why? They’re just trying to expand their horizons and take their career to a new level. Sheesh!
I think she looks great.
she’s a twig and you are insane and need to be fired
She looks good!!!!
I don’t see any changes. >.>
Seriously.
Love BoA! even she looks little chubbby
so what if she gained weight, she is still totally awesome!!! XD
Let’s stop worrying about what America is doing to Boa, and start worrying about South Korea’s government.

I wish she would stop flaunting her sucky English
you people care waaaaaay too much about looks and weight
i dont think she looks that bad
she’s still skinny, im just glad that her anorexic
starved face is gone.
“You fill my appetite in ways I cannot understaaand!” lol, seriously. No, joking – I can’t tell she’s gained any weight. BoA looks great.
Opppps/ “…in way’s I can’t explain”* mianhe. : P
She still looks good.
OH MY GOSH she looks thin now instead of anorexic! Huge accomplishment..
I call bullsh*t on this post.
oh no, boa fell into the American McDonald’s trap. haha.
great, something me and boa can share in common.
I think it’s the hair… =/
yeah, american food is fattening boa- her and every other immigrant. it’s not really the portions, but the fact that american food is SO unhealthy- lots of fatty foods, oil, grease, sugar, preservatives, flavorings, too much spices…
or it could be that she’s trying to gain weight to add some curves to her figure, since america is more into full figures than thin ones.
SERIOUSLY WTF IS UP WITH ALL THESE MULLETS?! They are so hideous and I remember almost EVERY wannaba Korean girl on Soompi got one. It looks like something crawled on their heads and died.
She looks beautiful now D:
But her voice isn’t doing too well. I wonder if she’s just tired? Maybe.
Girl needs to wear white or colored shoes on black turf. Let us see those dance moves!
Feet don’t look fat in sneakers.
even if american food aint healthy and fatty.
there are a bunch of food out there in america
chinese, japanese, korean, etc.
what is wrong with gain a little bit of weight
if she doesn’t want to get fat then she will control that weighting problem.
if she doesn’t like american food, she have the right to not eat it and pick something else.
don’t go blaming other people.
Wow…Interesting…all her dance steps remind me of Janet Jackson.
i think she looks super hot and healthy(:
she is totally not chubby. she is the perfect weight.
She looks fine to me.
You make it sound like she’s morbidly obese.
Gee thanks for generalizing my country.
