It sucks that kpop was still in its infancy when the Queen of kpop made her debut.

I would have been all about some Boa back in the 2000s.

Me too Drew. I wish I was there for the second generation in general.

And they shipped her to Japan Fast where she basically became treated a Japanese vocalist .

BoA has rly amazing career, and unlike lot of child stars she has stayed level headed and hasn't crashed and burned. I'm not always biggest fan of her music, but she does have some good ones and also her choreos are pretty interesting.

Seriously it blows my mind she was in 8th grade at debut. You would never know from the MV.

I love BoA and she will always be one of the top soloist like Lee Hyori.

BoA debuted at the perfect time ( similar to Rain) when the first gen groups started to disband and the shift slowly went over to soloist more and more.

Nontheless BoA was such a special and talented kid so it‘s just understandable that SM wanted to have her debut so young.

As someone who loves older groups, who loves first gen and second gen a lot it makes me happy that there have been ways to get to know those artists that literally made kpop what it is today.
