| Quote: |
BoA has been secretly preparing her US debut album with Madonna�s producer Peter Rafelson since last year. Unlike Se7en, Rain and other K-pop singers who spend their time flaunting about their grand US debut without producing any results, BoA has been concentrating on producing her album and honing her English skills because she understands the difficulty of crossing over to another country. Finally, someone is approaching the �American Dream� in a more sensible way.
BoA�s US debut plans will be released in March and her US debut is scheduled for May.
Good luck BoA! |

Wasn't Rain supposed to be unlike all the other Korean stars? Maybe in a few months there will be an article that says "Unlike Se7en, Rain, and BoA, [insert name of Korean pop-bot here] is concentrating on..." I don't see why K-pop couldn't be big in America, because it's entirely American in style. But they'd need some heavy industry connections to force it down our throats.
It's funny how the tiny island of Jamaica has more influence on American pop than the entire continent of Asia. |

| Although I'm not a fan of her music, I'd say she has a better chance than Rain. She speaks English after a fashion and where Rain had all the boys in San Fransisco and Asian women in a titter, at least BoA is attractive to her target demographic for an American audience. |

Isn't she a wicked gal who is supposed to hate white men or, at least, caucasian males from the United States? She has a video that shows Evil White Yankee Business Man refusing to offer her a contract and getting murdered by her as a result. The lyrics of this thing are supposed to be full of racist fudge, too.

K-pop really, really sucks. For real. Sheesh.
It's depressing to hear it coming out of the earphones of MP3's worn by young men/boys on the subway/bus.
Poor, ignorant folks. There's a whole 'nother world out there, and they apparently have no idea about it.
