At this moment, I’d like to write about BoA. She’s not only famous in Korea but she’s one of the most famous Asian singers. Even she’s going to USA’s market of music. Therefore, she must be a great singer after all.

BoA’s full name is Kwon Boa, but she takes her family name out so she has Boa as her stage name. However, to make it even fancier, BoA stands for “Beat of Angel.” That’s why she has her name on capital B, small O, and capital A.

Born in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, BoA isn’t only popular in Korea. She’s active in South Korea, Japan, and even USA. BoA was scouted by SM Entertainment and therefore be part of it later. Having been part of SM Entertainment, she was having training for 2 years and then she released ID:Peace B. That’s her first album under SM Entertainment.

One of the reasons she’s so famous in Asia and advancing to the USA is because of her multilanguage skills. Born in Korea, she can speak Korean perfectly. Moreover, she can talk in Japanese as well as in Chinese. To add her language skill, she is capable of speaking in English. Those 4 languages help her a lot in advancing in Asian and going to USA’s level in the next step.
