The hip-hop- and R&B-influenced BoA, aka BoA Kwon, has had a massive career that extended from her native Korea to Japan and Chinese-speaking territories, in large measure because of her versatility and her linguistic skills, according to the Hollywood Reporter. CAA. She has sold more than 20 million records.

Under the contract, within North America, CAA will represent the 22-year-old in all areas including music, film and merchandising. The agency is mulling a U.S. tour in the late second half of the year.

whoa. that's good for BoA. They should really help her be more promoted since they are the no.1 Hollywood entertainment. And a U.S World tour? that's sound even more exciting.

[jenneey]

Wait, so is she still apart of SM?
I doubt SM would give her up. So where do they fit in her US career?

[mizztaznchick]

glad to hear that Boa is being backed up by another agency that isn't SM but someone bigger. I mean i'm not saying SM is big but it's only big in Korea not in the U.S. And with the help of this No.1 Hollywood Agency, her career in the U.S. will shine more brighter.^^

Its about freaking time Boa did something right for her career in America. Signing with CAA is the best decision for her career right now. CAA is the same agency that has the heavy weights that lead in entertainment industry like Steven Spielberg, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, Will Smith, etc just to name a few. Boa is in good hands.

that's awesome. I wish her the best in the US. I wonder when I will start seeing her in the magazines here. lol.

[Tomoe Gozen]

All Right thats great news..Cant wait till the tour's start.

[echizen82]

Wow this great! I can't believe BoA is making a name for herself here in the U.S. Hope she continues with the success!

[mhara_xxii]

That' great! ^___^
I really like how she dance. It's terrific!
Good luck BoA~

[firefaery]

did Boa do great in the US? havent heard any news about her except for this signing contract.. hope she does well, she's really a good dancer

[mervic]

wow...
she's really great...
many people likes her because of her skills and talents...
i think she would be more popular in the US in the coming months or years...

[sumii]

I think Boa will only become popular in the US if she stars in a dancing movie. Her English music is not that good and there is no way it's going to sell more in the coming years. The album has no blance and no soul. But I think her dancing will bring her great success in the US. Her music will too when her English gets better and when she's free to sing songs that are Boa and not Britney Spears. Thank God SM is not managing her US works because SM is nobody in the US even though they are big in Korea. All the luck to Boa.

[Ameeh]

[Saki]
