BoA Minute!

So, this is way overdue but for everybody who doesn't know, BoA Kwon, extremely talented Korean pop star has come out with an English album, now for sale at retailers such as ITunes and Amazon.  She is now focusing her efforts on dominating the American market.  By the looks of it, she is the most successful of all Korean artists who have attempted to dominate the American market.  The list of those who have *ahem* not done extremely well just goes on and on: Se7en, Bi-Rain (who is apparently the new desire of Megan Fox's heart), Wonder Girls, etc.  So why is BoA able to do it?  Extreme popularity back home, amazing dance moves, hard work, good image, smart decisions by her management company, and her pretty looks just may have something to do with it.  What has most surprised me is the fact that she has caught the attention of many, not just Asian Americans.  Teenagers and adults all over the world are dancing and bopping to her catchy lyrics.  Recently (depending on how you define that term), BoA was featured on Imeem's Single of the Second playlist, which just further shows how much attention she has garnered.  She has been able to snag a cover shot of NYLON magazine and performed at the San Francisco Gay Pride Festival.  Wondering if all of this will last?  Let's watch and see.

For all those wishing to listen to her American album, it can be found on Imeem.com.
