Coming back to the Kpop scene after 5 years, singer BoA will not be appearing on variety shows.

BoA said in a recent interview, “There are no plans for appearance on variety shows. Fans do not want it too. The reason is because I don’t have the confidence to give laughter if I appear on variety shows.”

SBS Strong Heart PD also talked about this through Twitter, “I met her as a reporter. Honestly she has no plans to appear on variety show with the fear that she will not do well.”

BoA said, “The BoA that the masses want is not the BoA on variety shows but the BoA who presents a good performance. It is priority that I work on showing good performances.”

BoA ended with, “Instead of doing variety, I will work hard on Twitter. I will communicate with fans through Twitter.”

:/

.. I kinda understand her though. Even though it's a bit different, but to me, it's like how some comedians came back from the army and couldn't bring as much laughter as they used to on shows; and everyone would go like "oh, you've really let yourself go" etc etc etc :/

+ but on the other hand, I wanted her to on variety shows and get worshipped(cause they always do that when living legends come on their shows) and do a dance performance or singing performance for them, you know, just to show off XD

Not surprised. She hasn't been doing this when she was active in Korea, she'll continue this. I'm sad though. :(

And the "Twitter - way to entertain fans" thing is so ridiculous, sorry BoA but NO.

her choice

From: [identity profile] annhh.livejournal.com
Yeah, I'd want her to go variety instead of twitter... I'm not that interested in following celebs on twitter.. I don't want to read their daily life/communicating with other celebs.. just boring/awkward

everyone should tweet her and say that she should go on variety shows
and that there is nothing to be afraid of
i mean twitter does not even compare to variety shows

I'm sure people are aware that it's rare enough that she's even on Korean television, let alone variety shows lol. She never had the time to even back when she was promoting because of cross-promotions in Japan. However back in 2000-2002 she did used to go on them when she was 13-16.

Apparently though Strong Heart PD's are desperate for her; an article on uriboa basically said that one of them even went to JumpingBoA's main site to try and beg for her appearance on there, lol.

i think that "afraid i can't entertain fans" thing is bs. i think boa and sm has always wanted to cultivate this elusive image of her, so that wherever she does accept to appear once she's back in korea, it'll be this huge deal. which works. and i honestly don't mind that she doesn't appear on shows as long as she keeps blowing my mind when she performs.

Boa has hardly ever been on variety shows and that's what I like about her. It kinda shows that she is what she is not because she makes ppl laugh or cry but because she belongs on stage, she shines the most on stage and I think it would be awkward for her if she suddenly starts appearing variety shows. I find it weird that she even accepted an acting role when she's been so concentrated on performing and singing.

So unlike what everyone is saying, I think she's fine without variety show promotions...I don't think she needs that kind of promo activity anyway.

lol BoAjjang/uriboa doesn't really find this a big deal as well. This has been her routine for a decade ever since her cross-promotion in Japan/Korea.

It's a shame though because people who don't know her beyond her music will use this as an excuse as to ~why she doesn't have a personality~, when she has enough Japanese clips/Korean interviews to last a very long time, lol.

People can just make the extra effort to know a bit more about her, the stans obviously have.

Boo, at least go to Golden Fishery to cry and brag about your life, no need to make anyone laugh! Or do Strong Heart like Taeyang - take a wingman or -woman who's funny in varieties.

(I hope KJE Chocolate and YHY Sketchbook aren't counted as varieties as I'll be so pissed if she doesn't do those)

Date: 2010-08-09 08:27 pm (UTC)

lol dw she's been scheduled to be on Sketchbook since May, the recording is taking place on the 12th iirc.

She doesn't need to be funny to be on a show, she's BoA

From: [identity profile] soheefan.livejournal.com
There are plenty of idols who go on variety shows who are not funny. She should just man up and do it for her fans. Im just a recent fan, but if i was her fan and waited for 5 years for her to come back to k-pop, i would be so pissed right now at her

Date: 2010-08-09 08:38 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] aunts.livejournal.com
Again, her long time fans know the deal with her. She's never been one to go on variety shows to begin with, because of how busy she was cross promoting in Japan and Korea at the same time. Plus if you read [livejournal.com profile] allthingsgood's comment just a couple of threads above you, you'd see that SME has probably always had this tactic when it comes to BoA in particular, and it's worked for 10 years.

I'm pretty sure if Heechul is with her on variety shows, hilarity would be a guarantee.

I wish she would appear on some shows though cause that's how I really get to know the singers and that's what makes me like them more lol

Date: 2010-08-09 09:08 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] perfume.livejournal.com
lol this. She and Heechul are a guaranteed dynamic duo.

And some shows she doesn't even have to be funny, like Strong Heart. And after 5 years away from Korea, there must be SOME interesting story she has to tell.
