[[
Born Kwon Boa on November 20, 1986, she was raised in the Gyeonggi-do province of South Korea and initially had no interest in pursuing a career in the entertainment industry. That all changed when she was scouted by Korean entertainment company SME at a talent search that she accompanied her brother to. SME saw what they were looking for in the then 11-year-old [[
In 2009 SME decided that it was finally time to break into the U.S. market; they chose [[

Although her first attempt at success in the American music market didn't go that well, it seems like [[

{{discography}}
* Korean Discography:
** ''ID; Peace B'' (2000)
Line 53 ⟶ 54:
** ''Next World'' (2003)
{{
* [[Album Title Drop]]: Almost all of her studio albums except for her self-titled album.
* [[Anime Theme Song]]: BoA recorded "Duvet", the theme song for ''[[Serial Experiments Lain]]''.
* [[Auto-Tune]]: A lot of her latest music utilizes it frequently, especially her English album and ''Hurricane Venus''.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: She's got a pretty nice tummy although she doesn't show it off quite as much as she did in the beginning of her career.
Line 72 ⟶ 74:
* [[Excited Episode Title]]: "Shine We Are!" and "Bump Bump!" At least as far as her singles go.
* [[Former Child Star]]: It's how she was discovered; however, unlike most child stars she hasn't really had a break in her career since she began.
* [[Fun with Acronyms]]: [[
** She had issues with this when she began to promote her English debut...she quickly found out that [[
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: "Girls On Top" and all of the implications it brings with it.
* [[Genre Roulette]]: She's dabbled in R, hip-hop, bubblegum pop, dance-pop, electropop and adult contemporary...sometimes all on the same album.
Line 79 ⟶ 81:
* [[Godiva Hair]]: The ''Best & USA'' cover and the video for "Eat You Up."
* [[Good Bad Girl]]: She comes off so mild-mannered and polite in interviews, but her music is an entirely different story. Couple that with her dancing and she definitely fits this trope.
* [[Gratuitous English]]: [[
* [[Grief Song]]: "Implode."
* [[Hotter and Sexier]]: The videos for "I Did It For Love" and "Game."
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: At 5'2" [[

* [[Obsession Song]]: "Eat You Up" and of course, "Obsessed." Duh.
* [[Old Shame]]: When giving an interview for a U.S. website during promotion for her ''[[
* [[The Patriarch]]: [[
* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]: The feathery dress from the "Hurricane Venus" video definitely applies.
* [[Playing to The Fetishes]]: Her skin-tight leather getup in the "I Did It For Love" video.
Line 105 ⟶ 107:
* [[The Rival]]: Depends on the territory you're in. If it's Korea then fans like to pit her against Lee Hyori, another popular K-Pop singer. In her heyday in Japan she was compared to the likes of J-Pop royalty such as [[Utada Hikaru]] and [[Ayumi Hamasaki]] so much that she was considered one of the "Big Three" in Japan along with the other two aforementioned ladies.
* [[Scenery Porn]]: The videos for "Hurricane Venus" and "I Did It For Love" definitely apply. They're just purdy.
* [[She
* [[Signature Song]]: "Girls On Top," "Valenti" and "Meri Kuri" are some of her best known hits.

* [[The One That Got Away]]: "Implode." Oh ''GOD'', "Implode."
* [[The Stoic]]: She pretty much keeps to herself and doesn't have much to say good or bad about her contemporaries.
Line 117 ⟶ 119:
* [[Teen Idol]]: During the first half of her career she was trope personified, but the latter half has shown a lot of growth both musically and image-wise.
* [[Uncanny Valley Makeup]]: Checkout the black and white checkerboard eye shadow she used for her ''Hurricane Venus'' album cover!
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?]]: The video for "Hurricane Venus" features a feather-clad [[
* [[Woman Scorned]]: "Did Ya."
