BoA will do more than tell us about her US debut at her press conference this Wednesday - she’ll also sample her debut song.
Does this mean that her English album is already in the works or even better, already completed? If so, does that mean that BoA cross over to the states earlier than we anticipated?
Watch out for the details from her press conference this Wednesday!

oooo. sounds interesting. =)
i like BoA. though i wonder what type of song it will be…
O.O she looks suprised herself
Yay! BoA! I hope her English has improved, and I can’t wait to see how the English album turns out.
last time i heard her speak english for an interview…it was worse than Rain’s english…i was so embarassed for her. she just kept giggling instead like an airhead…which i believe she is after i saw the interview.
and BoA will cross over earlier than se7en.
Looking forward to more details.
On a side note, soo jealous of her hair. She would be killer for hair product commercials in the US.
^^^ she does have great hair :]
damn girl,she seems to be making progress.
I’m rooting for her!
right behind you, BoA, 1000000%.
although i’m worried to death for her. her english really is not quite there. far from it, in fact.
and HAHAHA you’re the airhead! what has not knowing a language got to do with intelligence? stupid people cannot recognize what’s the real treasure. give them gold and they think it’s a cucumber. that’s you, bloody airhead!
that interview was awhile ago I believe. Her english is not all that bad as long as she isn’t tranistioning it to korean or japanese. it’s the language switch that throws her, and lots of other people off. It happens to me, which is funny cuz i’m from the midwest and therefore have the plainest american english you can get xD
SM is smart and won’t let her debut until her english[in singing at least] is ok. idk I’m kinda hoping she still has a little asian accent when she speaks english, it’ll make her more endearing.
BoA I’m waiting for you!!!!<3
i watched a july 2008 interview with her by CNN, I must say the englsh DEFINITely better than Rain, but still nearly unintelligible especially names. On the other hand Shakira debuted pretty successful with almost no english so I say go for it BOA.
BoA has made SE7en become a loser…
she always works hard in her carrier…
good luck for her…
SM have so many slaves…
but i admit, SM is the best label record in Korea…
se7en becomes a loser…
i don’t mean to sound like a buzzkill, but my gut feeling tells me it’s not gonna go so well if she debuts in america.
I think everyone is worried for any asian to try releasing something in the America.
If she doesn’t make it her first time. I hope she tries again. The prominent asian actors in the acting biz have to work their asses off to get on top. Boa’s one of those hardworkers from what Ive read.
even so good luck to her and every other asian trying to make it! go go go!
i love it..hahaha..so se7en’s english is way better and probably collaberated w/ better artists, but everyone still hate on him and say he is a loser, but they cheer on boa like she is gonna make it big…this is so funny…
utada sound so much better than her and still didnt succeed here w/ her 1st album..this girl, she wont make it..w/her past songs that she sings..its not even mainstream songs here..hell, its not even close to mainstream songs
-Agrees with Lyn-
I like how everyone hasn’t heard any of Boa’s english and have already started to say that SE7EN’s english skills are worse and that he is a loser.
Good lawd, do some research before you actually bash on something. For those who don’t even know how superb SE7EN’s english is, check it out on YouTube.
boa is fantastic for asia, but i’m sorry… she is not for america, as harsh as it may sound.
i’d rather focus wishing se7en good luck in his attempt rather than boa. because just like se7en, she’d have to do some type of transformation to ‘fit in’.
se7en is from yg ent, he already has a good grasp in how america is like and the english language before coming over, because yg has artists that came from america or know how to speak english. (members of 1TYM, jinusean) this is why big bang seems to have better understanding/pronounciation than other boybands when it comes to english—because of their seniors.
i’m already nervous enough for se7en trying to make it, so i don’t even want to imagine BOA trying as well. it will be too painful to watch.
and someone mentioned about shakira. honestly, i think asian’s will have a much much much harder time to break–compared to how hispanic/latinos were able to (they have a massive population in america, and no, i’m not just talking about ‘mexicans’ i’m talking about latin/hispanics–there’s A LOT). so asian’s will have to try much harder.
two people commenting that seven is a loser is “everyone”????
I agree his english is really impressive! but just because there are two biased boa fans saying hes a loser don’t say EVERYONE hates on him.

Check out all the other articles related to SE7EN.
You’ll see tons of ‘em. No, really, you will.

Many said se7en is a loser because he says more than he acts. And it doesn’t help that YG’s bragged about him so much and for so long, but there’s no real progress as of now. I’m sure when se7en really releases his album, there’ll be more supporters show up if his album is not really crap.
I never be a BoA fan and never buy her album, but I’m excited for her and if the album isn’t bad I’m gonna support her for sure.
shoot… she was serious abt the US debut thingg…?
dagg…
why does she look so damn old in that pic. she’s been either working too hard or hitting the bottle too much.
hope she has better luck than se7en i hope koreans no that american music is nothing like korean
I think that she´s great, it´s gonna be great! And,who`s the goodlooking gay in grey suit and pink shirt? I just looooove him ! I sure do hope he´s her manager…………
woooo~ i’m so rooting for Se7en! i’ve got this feeling he’s gonna make it! if not big (well that’s to be expected) then notable. he’s breaking those walls down, and he’ll shine.
Boa’s awesome - in Asia. I mean, she’s huge there. But her music just isn’t for America. Like some of u said, Se7en’s genre is more American-like and he’s got awesome english - something we north amercians LISTEN to, rather than some “un-understandable language” like they say (i’m vietnamese).
se7en’s got great backups, and he’s taking it step by step. i feel like SM ent is rushing Boa into the American market. Sad.
