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 [[

Line 42:
* English Discography:
** ''[[
* Compilation Albums:
Line 68:
* [[Epic Riff]]: "Hurricane Venus," "Dangerous," "Let Me," "Eat You Up," and "Energetic," to name just a few.
* [[Europop]]: She's worked with Bloodshy & Avant and Henrik Jonback...doesn't get much more Europop than that.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Everythings Funkier With Disco]]: You can definitely hear its influence in some of her J-Pop albums.
* [[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
** 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:
* [[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" [[
* [[Intercourse
* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]: A lot of the styles she's worn for her latest albums and videos are really awesome.
* [[Improbable Age]]: By the age of 24 she's sold 20 million albums in Asia ''alone''. She's conquered Korea and Japan and it's highly likely that she's going to make a splash in the U.S. once moviegoers get a load of her in COBU 3D. She's pretty amazing.
Line 98:
* [[Nostalgia Filter]]: When she released ''Hurricane Venus'' several of her older fans lamented that they missed the R&B/Hip-Hop days of her early Korean music.
* [[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 107:
* [[She Is All Grown Up]]: Spent the better part of half a decade trying to invoke this trope and seems to have done so successfully.
* [[Signature Song]]: "Girls On Top," "Valenti" and "Meri Kuri" are some of her best known hits.
* [[Spell My Name
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: She is often called "The Korean Britney" due to her catchy songs and killer dancing.
** Her backup dancers (both American and Asian) have called her "The Korean Janet Jackson" because of her dancing as well.
* [[Stage Name]]: She goes by [[
* [[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:
* [[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
* [[Woman Scorned]]: "Did Ya."
