Oh look, another unwanted comment from someone's parentals.

[sparklop.livejournal.com]

BoA’s mother, Sung Young Ja, guested on tvN’s morning talk show, “Brunch,” and shared her thoughts on BoA’s income, her relationship with SM Entertainment, as well as her view on the current KARA lawsuit.

Sung, who previously published a book on her know-hows of raising a Hallyu star, a pianist, and a music director, began by stating, “In a society driven by competition like today, it’s only when they’re allowed to play and experience to their heart’s content that they discover what is truly best for them.  Becoming a mother who is like a friend and a sister is very important in raising children.”

On managing BoA’s income and investment techniques, she commented, “I personally manage BoA’s income.  As opposed to going ‘all-in’ in one area, it’s important to diversify your investments.”

When asked about the ongoing disputes between JYJ, KARA, and other celebrities against their agencies, Sung Young Ja revealed, “Instead of looking at the money, one should live life as honestly as possible.  You should never hurt the feelings of another, because when you achieve honor, money naturally follows.”

Check out the full segment, as well as her thoughts on how BoA has been able to manage her relationship with SM Entertainment, through tvN at 10:00 AM KST on February 21st.

Blah blah blah... yeah, sure lol

That "when you achieve honor, money naturally follows" statement only sounds pretty, but is offensive towards everybody who is lower-middle class and below. So the money didn't flow coz they didn't have enough honor? o.0

The lady's so full of herself -smh-

[chikage-chan.livejournal.com]

IMO this argument is so badly constructed that being pissed at it is just a big waste of time U.U

[taecish.livejournal.com]

i think her statements were smart and classy i don't see what is wrong

[laisseli.livejournal.com]

IA

[stopthedisco.livejournal.com]

deal with it

[yuukihitohira.livejournal.com]

This post title...can we not, please.

[fynrile.livejournal.com]

This is the smartest thing I've read today.

[kizuite.livejournal.com]

lol BoA's mom, you have Cassies have going nuts over this. I just wish she hadn't answered about JYJ/KARA's issues, it's not like poor BoA needs MORE Cassie hate directed towards her (thanks to this) after her own comment about Junsu's tweet. :/

[pandapples33.livejournal.com]

lol i ain't even mad

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Seriously this. It's nothing very remarquable tbh.

[luliss.livejournal.com]

That's because BoA is not on a group, so she earns all the money alone.

[nijigirl-us.livejournal.com]

ROTFL

not again

[baboboy.livejournal.com]

Re: not again

[pandapples33.livejournal.com]

lmao ikr?

[aescapes.livejournal.com]

omona, discussing it is one thing, but if i see one more person making threats at BoA or her mother like i've seen all over twitter i will roll some heads.

watch it.

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

Oh but frankly (my dear) your advices on the subject,

Why did they have to ask her about the disputes of JYJ and KARA she manages a soloist so how would she really know.

[notyourgeisha.livejournal.com]

Better suggestion, can the media just stfu and stop asking ppl about it for like a day, plz?

[qrizta.livejournal.com]

so true. the media should STFU.

[chikage-chan.livejournal.com]

I was gonna use the Jae popcorn.gif, but i think her opinion is so irrelevant that its not even worth staying for the wank (if theres even going to be any).

HER DAUGHTER IS NOT A PART OF A GROUP.
her daughter didn't have to split the income to 2-3 different members.
also managing BoA's income compared to DBSK&KARA~~ i can't even -_-.

[umbrella-smile.livejournal.com]

Her comments aren't bad tbh

However this one caught my eye:

Becoming a mother who is like a friend and a sister is very important in raising children

I don't agree. IMO when your child grows up THEN you become a friend, when they are growing up you should only be a parent. Unless that is what she is saying and I am reading it wrong...

[aescapes.livejournal.com]

i get the feeling that's what she meant. (and by this i mean i think she implied a parent should evolve into being said friend, idk use of "becoming" gives me that vibe ntm the comfortable maturity reflected in her children. shrugs.)

[captainmarvel.livejournal.com]

whatever yo, I wish I curr'd

+1

[831panda831.livejournal.com]

She didn't really say something to catch my attention tbh.

[jonghyunf.livejournal.com]

no big deal

[askbask.livejournal.com]

She seems like someone who raised her daughter well, a good mother. But the comments about _that thing_ were idiotic. BoA is not only alone, getting all the money herself, she's a stockholder in SM, and she started out in an era when albums sold more. So yeah, your daughter is in the money. Others aren't necessarily. Privileged people talking about how easy life's choices are...

[dorkiilove.livejournal.com]

isn't sm a public company thou?
anyone can buy shares

and im pretty sure albums make shat money

[bumie.livejournal.com]

me too

[baka-tenshi.livejournal.com]

boa's a soloist so it's easier for you to say that about money and honor.

tbh nothing bad is from that comment but lol @ cassies shitting themselves again for the zillionth time.

[bgurl1210.livejournal.com]

I see nothing wrong with what she said. I think people are just trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.
