Biography

BoA was discovered by Korean record label SM Entertainment while attending an audition for her brother at the age of 11. Impressed with the young girl's singing and dancing abilities, EM Entertainment quickly met with BoA's parents to work out a deal. In the beginning, her parents were strongly opposed to the idea, hoping that BoA would continue on in her education instead of turning to the entertainment business. Eventually BoA's parents agreed and she began her training.

SM Entertainment, aiming to make her an international superstar, focused first of teaching BoA foriegn languages, hiring a private tutor to teach her English and Japanese. Trips to Japan to enhance her studies, as well as singing and dancing lessons soon followed.

Two years later, BoA released her first Korean album ID;Peace B. The album was a success, and SM Entertainment began to work on a deal with Japanese record label Avex Trax. After a Korean mini-album Jumping Into the World and a few Japanese singles, BoA released her first Japanese album on March 13, 2002 called Listen to My Heart. It was an instant success, reaching #1 on the Oricon charts and selling over 932,000 copies total in Japan.

More Japanese albums followed (VALENTI and LOVE & HONESTY), each doing very well on the Oricon charts. On February 2, 2005, BoA's first Best Of album was released, titled BEST OF SOUL, which reached #1 on the Oricon charts and went on to sell more than 1,089,000 copies in Japan.

After BEST OF SOUL, BoA released four singles: DO THE MOTION, make a secret, Dakishimeru, and Everlasting. While DO THE MOTION and Everlasting did respectably well, make a secret and Dakishimeru suffered from lackluster sales. On February 16, 2006, BoA released her next Japanese album OUTGROW which contained the A-sides and B-sides to all four of the singles after BEST OF SOUL. OUTGROW failed to achieve the amazing sales seen with VALENTI and Listen to My Heart, but has sold 381,262 copies total in Japan.

SM Entertainment is now looking to push BoA in to the Chinese market.
