I watched her since I was little. Although we practiced together since BoA was thirteen... I think I was jealous. BoA stood out from the rest because she was a bit abnormal in doing well under stress (BoA says, "Me?") and always tried so hard to be the best when someone was only a little bit beter than her. I was sometimes spiteful... BoA, I love seeing you do your best... Although you are the best right now, I hope that you'll become even more more more greater.

I must be on 1000% crack, but I remember I heard on BoAjjang that the reason why Jang Nara left SM entertainment was from her jelousy at BoA. I mean, she HAS never been with Sm as far as I know of. Do any off you know much about it..

Anyways, thanks for sharing JuJu!

EDIT: HOLY SH^T I FINALLY OWNED A PAGE WITH Err....nothing to share =[ Im a lozer!

[xyunaxfantasiesx]

I've heard many times before that Jang Nara supposedly trained under SM before but I don't know.

[suejinners]

your not on crack lol

its true.
LSM suddenly shifted his focus totally on BoA.
theres a lot of rumors but i forgot most of them
either way Jang nara is still successful w/o LSM and LSM is still successful without her.


ahh i have to go to my cousins house -____-
i hope ill come in home on time for those perf pictures lol

[Explicitj0yee]

Whoa jang nara was in SM o.0 how old is she anyway ? AW i feel bad for jang nara .

[motoway065]

^wait so jang nara used to be in SM? dats weird

either way, i respect both singers a lot each in their own ways. jang nara's acting is the best

[talksound]

[.minjoo]

Yeah~
Jang Na-ra used to train in SM *take note: used to train...*
Means she's an Ex-trainee not an ex-SM-er... something... xD

Anyways, I feel so so uplifted about the good things that everyone has to say about her.
It makes me want to go, "In your faces, you stupid friggin antis who says that BoA's a meanie?!"
Right now, I feel that, so what if she might be a little cold... She's a professional... a true professional.
And I am proud because of that...

Hello everyone

Edit:

Oh btw, before I forget, I just really have to say that BoA looks so damn gorgeous on those ads...
My gosh, she looks so pretty!

[xiao_yun87]

awwwwwwwwww... thanks for the tracslation guys =) who says she's mean... look at all the good things people said about her =) i think im loving her more and more each time i know something about her... hopes her concert tonight is going to be shown!

[astarael]

Wooow, JUJU bar !! THANK YOU :] you translated a lot of the messages.
It's awesome to read about what other artists/staff people think about BoA; the things Wheesung, Minwoo, Jaewon, and Brian said were sweet~
Kind of crazy to think that BoA actually said that to Wheesung; she's really wise.

I can't wait until BoA's performance! o_o It's around 1PM now in Korea, right?
Will this be broadcasted on TV...?

thanks JUJU bar for translating so many of those! i really liked Jaewon's. it really shows how BoA's determination was there from the very beginning. minwoo's made me smile as well--heck, all of them did. thanks so so so much for the translations <3

i wish BlackBEAT would do another piece of choreography for her. ID; Peace B was amazing. still her most impressive dance to date, IMO.

[hyeminnie]

^ i know what you mean.
when BlackBeat choreograph's a song, then you know it's going to be really impressive.

thanks for the pics astarael it seems cold in korea.

[VitaDolce*]

astarael Thanks for the airport pics <#
I think its 2 pm in Korea. XD
OMG! I can't wait.. Those people who will watch must
feel anxious.. their hearts are beating faster.. 1000000X faster. haha

[inspire.me*]

OMGosh` isn't BoA's concert tomorrow on Feb. 24?! Oh if it is, everybody in Korea might be
so excited!! I would be SO excited in korea like mad >.<

Thank you all for telling me all the info :]
Aww` everybody was so kind when they talked about BoA <33
OoO~ i can't wait for her new CF too!

astarael Thanks for the pictures :]

Just want to say thank you for those who been updating the new stuff
&& translating <33

[Explicitj0yee]

^ Yea but its actually like couple hours from now. She must be nervous to finally perform in Korea again =) I can just imagine her saying DID YOU GUYS MISS ME and the fans screaming like crazy lol

[astarael]

I had to add these~ Seeing these pictures just makes me more excited; BoA is back in Korea and her performance isn't far off.
She must be so nervous. I remember how nervous I was when I had to perform, and the audience wasn't nearly as big as BoA's audience will be.
I really hope that there are a lot of people waiting for her and cheering her on in Korea;
when she steps onto that stage, the spotlight will be on her and there will be a roar of applause and shouting. I'd be crying, haha.
I think I'm going to be staying up late tonight...

Ah, astarael, thanks for remembering me and for those pictures! I just got butterflies looking at them!

She must be so nervous. She said she was shaking just from the surprise appearance at the MKMF, and this is a 90 minute concert. I'm so jealous of those people who will actually be there! I can't wait to hear all the responses. I'm sure she'll give a great show, she always does.

I'm working on translating some more of the quotes. I don't know when I'll be able to put all of them up because I'm also working on a midterm paper (yuck). So if someone wants to do the rest, feel free, but if not I'll post them as soon as I can. =)

Here's one, just so I can fee like I contributed something, hee:

일본에서 성공했기 때문이라던가 다른뜻이 있어서가 아니라, 정말 노래를 잘 부른다. 내가 아는 많은 작곡가와 제작자들이 그녀와 작업을 한 뒤, 전부 칭찬을 한다. 어떠한 노래라도 보아가 부른다면 노래가 살고 빛이 난다.
- 유희열

I don't say this because she’s succeeded in Japan or because of anything else, but because she really does sing well. The many composers and producers I know who have collaborated with her all praise her after working with her. No matter what type of song it is, if Boa sings it the song becomes alive and lights up.
- Yoo Hee Yul

I don't know exactly who that is, but I guess he's a composer or producer who's worked with her. Or maybe not, haha. But I really like this quote, and I love the last part.

And another one that I really like:

보아는 노래를 잘하고, 다른 일본 가수와 달리 순수한(Pure) 이미지를 가지고 있어 함께 작업해보고 싶었다. 보아와는 작업할 때 처음 만났는데, 대단히 영리하면서도 정열적인 타입이었다. 그녀 측에서 먼저 리믹스 요청을 한 케이스였는데, 나도 보아의 영어 음반을 들으면서 점점 생각을 굳혔다. 목소리에 남다른 느낌 같은 게 있다.
- Mondo Grosso

BoA sings well, and because she has a pure image unlike other Japanese singers I wanted to collaborate with her. I met her for the first time when we worked together. She was a type who was both very intelligent and passionate. The request for a remix came from her side first, but I too wanted to make one more and more as I listened to her English songs. Her voice has a quality that makes it different from anyone else’s.

I'll be back with more!

^ ooh i just saw those at bestiz too. i'm definitely pumped for this live. i hope we actually get to download it later though x_x.

anyway, more randomness that involves BoA that i found on bestiz:

연예인들 팬카페에 가입했던 적은? (지용아결혼하자님)



지용=여러 명 있다. 궁금해서 한 적이 있고, 좋아해서 한 적도 있다. 과거 보아와 아이비의 팬카페에 가입한 적 있다. 아이비는 처음 무대 봤을 때부터 좋아해 사진 등을 보려고 팬카페에 가입했다. 그러나 등업이 안돼서 결국 탈퇴했다. 보아도 마찬가지다.

apparently jiyong (g-dragon) of big bang joined BoA and Ivy's fan cafe's. [...or am i totally off?:x broken/non-existant korean skills suck ._.]

Yeah, you're right!

Times you've joined a celebrity's fan cafe?

Jiyong = I've joined several people's fan cafes. I did it sometimes because I was curious, and other times because I was a fan. In the past I've joined Boa's and Ivy's fan cafes. I joined Ivy's fan cafe because I was a fan from the first performance of hers I saw and I wanted to see her pictures. But because I couldn't pay the dues I had to withdraw. It is the same with Boa.

Soooo cute! I remember years ago (when they were both, like, 13 or 14) an interviewer or someone asked Jiyong if he had a crush on anyone and he answered "B Yang" and everyone pretty much guessed that he meant Boa. Awww. <3

[carollee206]

Oh god her concert is today right? 24? ahhh is it gona be broadcasted? Omg so wanna go to korea now but i'll be so lost keke~XD
