BoA Lookalike Sex Tape Stuns Asia

A website in Japan has stunned fans of the K-pop superstar BoA by offering an adult video purporting to feature the singer.

The online adult video store is offering the flick titled "BoA Course" and tempting customers with a model who bears a striking resemblance to the singer.

Fans have been shocked by the news that a site in Japan is offering up for sale an adult video using the name of superstar singer, BoA.



Under the heading, "Superstar artist BoA?" the video is packaged just as if the singer herself appeared in the porn flick. On the lower screen, a collection of scenes are shown to titillate viewers�� curiosity. BoA's management at SM Entertainment say they know of many Japanese stars who have experienced such things, and promised action after investigating further.

BoA, whose album ��Best of Soul�� was No. 1 in Japan this year selling more than 1 million copies, has been chosen to appear on broadcaster NHK��s Kouhaku Utagassen annual music show for the forth straight year. Her new single ��Do the motion�� topped Japan��s weekly Oricon Chart, the first time a foreigner has held that position in 21 years. The star, meanwhile, is busy appearing at all sorts of year-end music award ceremonies.

A friend of mine showed me a Jap porn showing a girl who was a dead ringer for actress/model Jeon Ji-hyun. The similarity was UNREAL.

I dont see what BOA's management can do about it. All they are saying is that she resembles BOA. The name of the actress is even on the front cover.

I'm not interested in seeing real or fake BOAs naked, she has the body of a a 13 year old

Pity about this sex scandal.

She was a real good role model to hold up to my students about learning languages.

In between her busy schedule as a pop princess, she has somehow managed to become fluent in Japanese, English, and it is almost there in Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese. As well she has just started learning French.

Interesting.

Was doing a quick search about this video for ... ah, research purposes, and discovered two tidbits.

BoA is the highest paid entertainer in Korea, with expected earnings this year of 100 Billion Won.

BoA accounts for 75% of all the music exports of the Republic of Korea.

Not bad for a 19 year old.

I've heard her speak english and if she's fluent then I'm amazing at Korean (just kidding but she isn't any where close to being fluent, although many Koreans tell me that she is) yeah I have heard that she rocks at japanese but I don't speak that so I'll just have to take eveyones word for that. I don't know about you guys but I think there is alot more to being fluent then to being able to say a few short phrases.

SM will say anything about BOA to make her the role model!!
yeah she is fluent in japanese she is fluent in English, fluent in chinese balr blar blar.. she is this she is that!! bla rblar bklar
she is nothing more than a cash cow for LEE SOO MAN he is a such a *beep* he will be using her so much. of course she will make millions herself! but not as much as she is worth or is really entitled to..

still she is a cool, a cool entertainer...

I heard that Boa speaks 15 languages and that she has patented a type of kimchi that makes you lose weight!
Seiously though, so-called "celebrity" sex tapes, real or not, seem to be a much more common price of celebrity... and seeing as she is practically the whole industry here, you had to figure someone would try something like that eventually.

I wonder, who determines the path of BoAs career? And who decides what music she'll do, what dances she'll do and so on? It seems to me that BoA is the coolest of Korean popstars (which is kinda like saying that the corn is the tastiest part of a piece of sh*t, but anyways).

When I watch other Korean pop stars, my heart aches the way it does when I watch the Star Wars Kid video. I'm watching somebody be soo horribly lame and but they really throw themselves into so much that my heart just breaks. I want to like them, but my internal sense of coolness will not let me. So what makes BoA cooler than the rest of that noisy, glitter-dusted sh*theap?

[periwinkle]

She's a really good dancer- that's why I like her. My friend interviewed her awhile back, and she said that BoA is really soft-spoken, shy, and sweet. She's not a princess, and she seems genuine, so I think that's why people like her...

Can someone explain to me why Mariah Carey is so popular (in the US, and worldwide)? I think she's trashy, and I don't think she's attractive at all. I don't like the unaturally high pitches she achieves, either.
