Mini bio

How it started.

BoA’s first audition was an unexpected one. At 11, she accompanied her brother to an SM Entertainment audition, where scouts asked her to sing and dance too. She was offered a contract and debuted in Korea at 13 with ID; Peace B in August 2000.

Finding an audience in Japan.

She made her Japanese debut in May 2001. Her first Japanese album, Listen to My Heart, entered the Oricon album chart at No. 1 and sold a million copies. Six consecutive original albums topped that chart, building a career across Korean and Japanese pop. She also released the English-language album BoA in the United States in March 2009.

Making the music her own.

Fans can follow her changing sound through No.1, Only One and Better, then hear her songwriting on Crazier. Her work also extends behind the microphone: she took on production of NCT WISH’s debut single and its performances in 2024.

A new home for her work.

After her SM contract ended, BoA established BApal Entertainment in March 2026. That May she released Ain’t No Hard Feelings, followed in November by the self-produced Japanese mini-album 歩幅 (Hohaba).
