"National Diva" BoA (26) will be going head to head with the Olympics.
It has been confirmed recently that BoA is set to make her comeback in the 4th week of July, thrilling many fans with the news. On July 12th, an official said, "BoA is scheduled to make her comeback around the end of the month and is working on last minute things."
Another official said, "In about two weeks, BoA seems to be scheduled to return at the end of July. Since BoA is already popular, a lot of music representatives are looking forward and have high hopes for her comeback."
BoA's comeback activities has attracted attention due to the fact that it will be around the time the London 2012 Olympics will begin. This year's Olympics will open on July 28th (Korea Time) until August 13th.
Artists will usually release albums and singles relating to the Olympics, avoiding promotions during major sporting events such as the Olympics and the World Cup. Therefore, new albums and new promotions from artists are usually not seen as these sporting events usually take the slots of entertainment programs.
However, BoA has shown strong confidence in her new album, in which she has prepared for a long time.
BoA last released her 6th Korean album, "Hurricane Venus," back in August 2010, marking her 10th Korean anniversary. This will be her first comeback in 2 years.
In addition, BoA has been nicknamed a "Goddess" for how beautiful she looked during her judge appearances on the first season of SBS "K-Pop Star." Including her charms, there is a heightened expectation for her new album.
In "Hurricane Venus," BoA showed a stylish, funky visual, along with a powerful stage presence and vocals.
Last month, BoA was spotted near Hongdae, Seoul with actors Baewoo and Yoo Ah-in at a cafe. The group were shooting for KBS "Win Win" as well as shooting a scene to which fans who saw them have speculated was for her music video, "killing two birds with one stone."
"Solo Queen" BoA will not be the only one returning this summer, as Son Dambi has also been announced that she herself will be returning with a new album.
Nearly all the preparation for her comeback has been completed including her music video and choreography. Her comeback is expected to not run into any delays.

It doesn't diminish the fact that she was one of the leaders of the Halllyu wave in Japan, for better or worse.

I don't mind people disliking her, okay... that's a lie. But I can respect that people have a right to their opinion. I just don't get how people, logically, can quantify her Japanese career as a flop, because if they look at the numbers and compare them, basically every Korean artist who has crossed over would be a flop, too.
