omonatheydidI'll decline offers to be on variety shows, I'll twitter instead."
-There is a 5 year gap from your last domestic activities.
During that time I've been doing activites in Japan and America. I've also participated in OSTs. As I've done activities as a singer for 10 years, challenging yourself is important as well as trying something new. But first I have to do well myself. I found that it's more important to do things that you know how to do well. For me, my weapon is performance. Solving that skillfully is the best I can do to make a stage that my fans will like.
-In Japan you've appeared on variety shows, but you haven't appeared on variety shows in Korea. Do you not have plans to appear on them again?
No, but I will twitter diligently.
-The PD for the SBS variety show 'Strong Heart' asked for you to appear on the show through twitter.
I saw it in an article. I'm not confident that I'll be able to be fun through what I say. I think I'll cause damage to the show. My fans didn't want me to do variety shows. For now, I want to try leading the stage well.
-The past few years you were focused on your activities in America. What did you gain from it?
Apart from the results of my activities in America, I benefited a lot from the activities and my American album. I studied a lot of music and choreography. Releasing an album in America, itself, is an honor.
Truthfully, in between 2006 and 2007 it was hard for me mentally. I was tired of living the same and repetitive life. However, as I made the album in America, I received a fresh shock and felt joy for music again. This album and my album released in Japan earlier this year were influenced by my activities in America.
-If you were to give a grade on your activities in America?
Personally, I benefited a hundred percent. I think the movie offer came in because of my extension of activities in America.
-Any disappointing points in your activities in America?
Communication. Despite my busy schedule I tried learning (english) but came up short.
-How did the movie come about?
The movie offer came earlier this year. Personally, I'm a fan of the movie 'Step Up'. Through this movie I thought about street dancing and formed my passion for dancing. Actually the word about me going into acting has been around but I hesitated about doing it full time. Since 'Step Up' is a dance movie I've decided to appear in it. As a singer being able to save my dancing through a movie will help my career. Also, the dance movie director I like the most gave me the offer so I thought that I had to do it.
-But why did you decide to act now?
I didn't want it to interfere with my main occupation as a singer. I've decided to do this because it's a dance movie.
-Is there a difference in activities Japan and America?
There isn't a big difference in activities in Japan and Korea. But America is different. It's very large and theres a lot of weight on radios. There aren't a lot of music programs in America. There isn't a lot you can do through the broadcast media. I did radio and club promotions.

Date: 2010-08-10 06:59 am (UTC)OT but not really..
Date: 2010-08-10 07:04 am (UTC)Anyway, I just listened to her entire album and I have to say I love each and every song.
Perfect album.
I'm not even a BoA stan, but I have honestly loved all her most recent work.
From her first english album and her latest japanese album, Identity.
Eien to Hurricane Venus = A+ (IMO)
I know a lot of people have been knocking her work lately, but I guess I'm of the other majority.
Re: OT but not really..
Date: 2010-08-10 08:15 am (UTC)and Implode is probably my favorite ballad ever.

Date: 2010-08-10 02:06 pm (UTC)Korean variety shows are like Sabado Gigante. Not that I'm hating on that, because Sabado Gigante is my shit.
BoA, I be there on day one for your English movie!
