it’s still crazy to me how BoA as the queen of kpop, who even performed with britney, who started out in 2000 and hit it big in japan, supported pride from the start, did surprise concerts, became THE household name for dancing, always came along with quality hits, who built SM as a director and mentor to become a giant even though she’s barely 5′2, who made 24 albums, has left the company and closed a huge chapter. and she’s not even turned 40 yet because BoA debuted at only 13 (!) years of age. and now that pillar is gone. as someone in the girls generation fandom said, the seismic plates are shifting. and if BoA continues music, and we know she improves with every release and the more creative control she has, what is coming for us? truly unprecedented times.
