BoA

Kwon Bo-ah is a South Korean singer, songwriter, dancer, producer and actress. One of the most successful and influential Korean entertainers, she has been dubbed the “Queen of K-pop”. BoA has released twenty studio albums, including ten in Korean, nine in Japanese, and one in English.

BoA’s ability to sing in multiple languages, such as Japanese, English, and Mandarin, helped her find commercial success beyond South Korea, in China, Japan, Taiwan, and Singapore. With the release of her debut Japanese studio album, Listen to My Heart, BoA became the first South Korean pop star to break through in Japan. She is the only foreign artist with three albums that have sold more than one million copies in Japan and one of only three female artists with six consecutive number-one studio albums on the Oricon charts since her debut.
