From what I understand, she was privately schooled and groomed to her current status by her handlers since she was a wee one.

I wonder if the future face of music will all be eugenics experiments like this?


Don't record companies already do this in the west?

I thought it was more Disney loaning them out?

Yes!!! One of my students went on to do many films, international ones at that!

Everytime we did role play in the class she always stood out. She always added extra dialogue for flair and when I brought in my camera to film the kids, well, she really took it up a notch...

I can't remember her Korean name exactly, but the english name she chose was Almond Tease.

Maybe you heard of her?

I will assume that BoA went to an English hagwon at some point in her young life. Wouldn't it have been interesting to have taught such a remarkable person at an early age, and see her grow up?


Remarkable how? Did she map the human genome and I didn't hear about it? I thought she was just another lip-synching piece of eye candy.

I see you are a man with very high standards. Good luck with the cage fighting.

I've had some university students who were or later became 'famous'. Off the top of my head: a pro-baseball player, a former pop star, a few pro-gamers, people in lesser-known pop and rock groups, one or two rather well-known 'backdancers', and a TV writer. I'm sure there have been others that I'm not aware of.


I think the correct term is "backup dancer," but Koreans say "back dancer."


Geeze, didn't you notice that I wrote 'backdancers' not backdancers?

Has anyone made a "Boy I'd like to back-dance her all night" type comment yet?

Because I think I've yet to see Troll Bait voice an opinion...

Urr.. BoA ain't that great. She's just an average boring girl who's had lots of singing and dance lessons.

Real talent and beauty is that beatboxer girl on America's Got Talent.

I used to occasionally teach the guys who came up with "Hello Kitty".
I hope they burn in Hell for that.
