if you want to react to some older videos from her heres a few to choose from! id; peace b (her debut), no.1 (her first really big hit), eat you up (her american debut), my name, valenti, camo, girls on top. (no particular order, i think youd really like the eat you up choreography tho!)
She was my first introduction to kpop when I was still into jpop not realizing she was Korean. :) She's amazing imo. No.1 is what I loved, in English, Japanese and Korean, plus some songs she did for the anime Inu-Yasha were my fave. So her and Girls Generation is what made my transition to kpop without my realizing at 13-16 yrs of age lol my Japanese exchange student probably thought I was weird suddenly thinking Korean artists was Japanese...but I was young and stupid and couldn't hear the difference like I can now. Keep up the amazing work Chris!
BoA is literally royalty in the kpop industry. She made SM entertainment into the company it is today and now is on the board of directors there. Lee Soo Man, the founder of SM entertainment says without BoA there would have been no SM entertainment. She was the first Korean artist to break into the Japanese market in the early 2000s which now many kpop artist see as their secondary market. Other kpop idols even talk about how starstruck they’ve been when they’ve met her. She really is a woman of power. 20 years in the industry and still loved
BoA is the ultimate Idol of Idols. BoA's talents are unmatched. This is why SM Entertainment selected her to become a trainee when she was 11 or 12 and why she debuted when she was only 13 years old, because she is so amazing. BoA is one of the originals in the Kpop industry and one of the first to do almost everything, and she did it all as a solo artist without the help or support of a group. Can you believe that BoA debuted in 2000? -- which means she has been in the industry for more than 20 years now and she is only 34 years old. :D She was one of the youngest artists in the industry when she debuted and she is now one of SM's longest held artists. She started under SM and is still represented by SM. So she has been in the industry for more than two decades, and, yet, she is still younger than a lot of artists who have come after her. That's how much of a legend she is. :D It is no surprise that you are impressed by BoA's vocals and dancing because, as an SM artist, that is just something the company is known for. That's just a fact about the type of people that SM selects to be a part of its company. SM has become known for its amazing vocalists and dancers and that is one reason why it's one of the big 3 entertainment companies in Korea and around the world. BoA is one of the best female dancers in the industry and everyone looks up to her. She is known for her unique and difficult choreography and the fact that she is not afraid to try something new. BoA is an OG of OGs. There is almost nothing she can't do. Everyone regards her as more than just an Idol, she is so well respected that she is a mentor to most Idols in the industry. And she is even a member of SM's board of directors and she is now in charge of the health and mental wellbeing of SM's artists. BoA was the one who paved the way for Kpop artist in the Japanese market and she is the reason why Kpop groups and artists now produce songs in Japanese.She was one of the very first Korean Idols to focus on learning Japanese with the goal of bringing the Kpop industry to Japan. She is now one of the top selling artist in Japan. LOL "2012 and she had the moves" ... BoA already had been around for 12 years, prior to that. She is the queen of dance for a reason.The choreography for "Only One" is so Iconic. To see why this is such and iconic song, eveyrone should see BoA perform "Only One" live. In live concert performance, during the ionic dance break section, there is always a special appearance by one of her male labelmates -- Taemin from SHINee, Eunhyuk from Super Junior, U-Know from TVXQ and Sehun from EXO, who are all known as some of the company's best dancers, have all performed with her. I think Taemin has probably performed this song with her the most out of everyone. Taemin was the one who performed with her, yet again, during MAMA -- how could you forget that? LOL. ruclips.net/video/P38yHXB1Pp8/видео.html She was even one of the first Kpop stars to release an English album in America. Her English song "Eat You Up" was pretty popular and even made it on the American music charts. She was one of the first Kpop artists to chart in the U.S. -- the song actually was played on some mainstream U.S. radio stations. If you haven't already, I recommend checking out her MV for "Eat You Up" it's pretty epic and her dancing is so iconic. She even starred in the Hollywood dance movie "Make Your Move" in 2014 and it was all in English. Over the years she has become pretty good at English and she is mostly fluent now. Fun fact: If you remember, in Taemin's song "Idea" the female voice you hear saying, "Killing me softly" is BoA. To see what kind of influence BoA has had on the industry, check out her recent "202020" documentary which is part of her 20th anniversary celebrations. ruclips.net/video/UduPW8PagJE/видео.html You will get a chance to see BoA go from a cute 13 year old Idol to the corporate powerhouse CEO that she is now. She is actually looked at as a sort of mama bear to the younger idols and trainees -- such as NCT -- when she speaks, everyone pays attention. She has a very commanding presence, but is also very sweet and kind. She is everyone's surrogate mom and respected older sister -- even if they are older than her. :D Key from SHINee is such a fanboy of hers. LOL You should really watch an episodes of the variety show "Happy Together" (Ep. 569 with English Subs) which featured all of SM artists such as BoA, Key from SHINee, Baekhyun and Sehun from EXO, Jaehyun and Taeyong from NCT, Comedian Lee Soo Geun and MC Jeon Hyun Moo -- who are part of SM's entertainment branch of the company. The episode was filmed at SM Entertainment and it talks about the history of SM and all of SM's top artists, etc. It was a great episode. kshow123.net/show/happy-together/episode-569.html
Thank you for all these information!!! I knew majority since Boa brought me into kpop back in 2009 and not long after discovered shinee and snsd and just became obsessed!! Thank you for also introducing her in a such well written way! For the Links as well!! Excellent job
Preach... just so sad that these new kpoppers don't seem to know who she is and when you try to educate them they just brush it off and disrespect her while only gushing over their fandom artist(s)
Ahhh I see, it looks like I was ' the only one' that didn't know this fact... I'll stop now 😂😂😂 But seriously I didn't know until I saw the MAMA 2020 thank you for telling me 😊
@@ChrisStillBeTalkin you should look for the first time taemin did the dance with BoA and compare it to the MAMA 2020 one, he's so much more polished now.
If this is the tip of the Iceberg I want the whole iceberg!!!! I'm so excited to know there's soo more, looking forward to checking it out with you guys! 😁
BoA debuted in 2000 and so far she has 20 albums (10 Korean, 9 Japanese, 1 English - not including repackage/special editions/mini albums). She is the reason why SM is as big as it is today. She saved it from bankruptcy back in the day. She is not only known as the queen of Kpop, she is considered to be the prototype what an idol should be. Currently she is one of the directors of SM. ♥
And they all have killer dances!! I also recommend 2008 'the face' concert performance of BAD DRIVE. And also 2005 mkmf perfofmance of GIRLS ON TOP. Those 2 performances are without a doubt BoA at her very best.
I love that you're reacting to BoA! She's been my favourite artist for a long time! BoA is arguably the pioneer of Kpop. Having debuted in 2000 at the age of 13 with "ID; Peace B" in Korea. Then debuting in Japan in 2002 with "Listen To My Heart" before exploding in popularity and going on to having 6 consecutive albums top the Oricon charts in Japan. I believe she is the only foreign artist to do so. (She even released an English album titled "BoA" in the US in 2009) Her popularity started rising shortly after, starting with "No. 1" in 2002, winning her the Artist of the Year award at the age of 16. She has released multiple hits over the years like "Valenti", "Sara", "Atlantis Princess", "Girls On Top", "Eat You Up", "Energetic", "Copy & Paste", "Hurricane Venus", "The Shadow", "Only One" and many more. For choreography, most of her songs are great, she's always been known for being an amazing dancer. There are some Japanese tracks that really stand out; "Eien", which had a dance version on RUclips, but quality wasn't great. Still a good watch. Also the live performance of "Bad Drive" is a masterpiece. A personal favourite track of mine is "Camo", but also including ones you have watched or I've mentioned above. This is only scratching the surface! She just celebrated her 20th anniversary last year with the album "Better"! Thanks for all the great content! Hope you'll react to more BoA soon!
Between 2012 and 2018, there is CAMO and Kiss My Lips (that I remember). Also she is HUGE in Japan since early 2000s and you should check out the dance for Eien (from 2009 I think). Pretty cool. Eat You Up is her American song (cool dance moves ofc). I like Brand New Beat (from 2006) and it is a Japanese song... ofc, dancing style is probably from that era but I remember really enjoying that song and the dance at the time. I think No1 and My Name are super iconic (early 2000s)... She is known for her dancing skills and how fast she learns choreo since she has 20+ years of experience now. She has a huge discography ofc... Even her early 2000s music has cool dancing~~~
She has nothing to prove for years! Now all of her comeback are just works of art. My favorite one is Kiss my lips. I definetely love seeing this sexier side of her and it's such a great song, plus that was her first self produced album and she was working with her brother for the music video. Still in the 20th anniversary vibe and can't wait if something will coming for the 20th anniversary in Japan!
I think she's probably the most influential singer in kpop. She kinda set the standard early on, and she's only 34. She also co-starred in an American movie called Make Your Move 3D back before kpop was big here.
I had the luck to see Queen Boa live at SMTown in Santiago a few years ago. I have to say, even if the venue was filled with mostly young kids who didn't know who she was... once she was on stage, you better bet they all got awed by her performance. Nothing on the other performers, but given not as many people came to see her in comparison, it was quite amazing to see 10-13-year-olds screaming she was great and cool. The kids behind me (who came with their mom) asked me afterwards who the lady was. That's the power she has on stage.
I was there too! hola! And I felt the same, it was amazing how she captivated everyone there and the audience enjoyed so much. Even when she sang a Japanese song very new at that time and of course most people didn't hear it before but everyone was enjoying so much. The power she has.
@@celestisima Hola Hola! What touched me the most was that her, Hyoyeon, Yuri and Suju were just.... so happy? to be there? Like, the older performers knew they weren't the ""main"" dish of the night (in comparison to the EXO and NCT fans I mean) but hell, they made the show amazing
@@christa0chellew Yes it was amazing! I'm a SHINee and f(x) fan so I mostly went for Taemin, Key and Amber but BoA was someone I really wanted to see live!! Only One with Taemin is one of my favourites things in Kpop haha I looove her. Of course I enjoyed all stages as well. They're all amazing tbh. HYO sets were such a party!!! I really loved them too. And Yuri is my SNSD bias so I was so happy to see her.
@@christa0chellew OMG really? Kibum was so beautiful that day. I'll forever remember when they sang 'M'hijito rico' to him hahaha I'm argentinian so I wasn't familiar with that song.
I suggest you check out her live performance medley od ''Bad drive''/''Style''/''Sweet impact'' from her ''BoA LIVE TOUR 2008 THE FACE'' in Tokyo. Check it out in private (because japanese songs are almost always flagged for copyright). It's one of her best dance/vocal performance... and you can see a lot of Michael Jackson inspiration (he is her idol).
The choreography for Only one was done by Nappytabs, american dancing duo. :) BoA also starred in a dance movie starring Derek Hough (from Dancing with the Stars). She's the lead.
A lot of people have made some great recommendations but the one I would recommend you react to or at least check out is her performance of 2008 song BAD DRIVE!!! As a long time fan, I think that is one of her best choreos of all time!
lol I just got done recommending that one too, after looking through the comments, I am so happy there are more people that know of that performance, nice to meet you fellow long time fan!!!
She debuted in 2000~ at 13 years old 😳 I love her debut song "ID:Peace B "and also other early 2000s songs she had that slap are ,No 1, valenti, and girl on top. Reccomend watching the live stages of these to really see the dancing. If possible ~
Everybody be forgetting that she have legendary works for her japanese songs it's almost criminal that all the reactors are sleeping on it. You should be jiving to her Bad Drive & Sweet Impact performance from her 2008 The Face Tour. The choreography slaps even up till these day cos no other artists came close to her dance and performance level. That aside i do hope that she stops playing around and start releasing hard hitting choreography that no other kpop dance covers can hope to achieve. That's the apex of dance itself.
Here some basics infos on BoA, first her real name is Kwon BoAh stylised BoA and who also means Beat of Angel and is pronounced "Bo-Ah". she debuted in 2000 at the age of 13 year old so this year will be her 20th career anniversary. So she is 34 year old international age and born in 1986. She is also legend in Japan too since she was the first Korean artist to succeed in Japan. She considered a real legend in many level, like she is considered the best dancer in Kpop, she is also known as a amazing vocalist too. She has many records and achievements that has never been surpassed, like the first asian artist to enter the Billboard. She is known as the Queen of K-pop and Best of Asia, because she has paved the way for what K-pop is now. She also known to write and compose lot of her songs. Other cool facts is that she is a shareholder and also a artistic director of SM Entertainment. Last cool fact, she is trilingual and is fluent in Korean, Japanese and English.
BTW highly recommend you to react BoA's 2008 concert performance (bad drive, style, sweet impact) That was one of her best dance performances and I'm sure it is amazing!
I really appreciate that you react to BoA's dance-related videos!! She is really talented in dancing and has her own style and has very high quality and is really energetic! I'm so glad that you enjoy all her performances. QUEEN BoA FOREVER!
yeah she really was the pioneer of the whole dancing in kpop and doing hard choreo because up until a few years ago choreo was more simple? Just catchy moves instead of a whole competition dance routine ya know?
React to her japanese dance songs : eien, bad drive live, shout it out dance version, bump bump, and her english songs too like eat you up, energetic, i did for love. Those are kinda old but very classic mvs in her prime. Those are really good
Thanks for checking out BoA! If I may recommend an artist and excellent dancer, Alexa has been killing it. Her main mvs have been a trilogy: Bomb, Do or Die, and Revolution.
YESSSS! BoA!!!! If you liked her than you MUST check out her perfomance!! She is so famous with her stable live with intense choreo! (Lookbook live or MKMF Girls on top 2005 or baddrive) but when she does lipsync she just killing stage with dance!! (Moto or Spark (well she even sang these songs live but if you wanna see her dance I recommand lipsync version.))
Her previous songs with (imo) great dancig are definitely "The Shadow" (2012) and ''Camo'' (2018). When it comes to dances from the first decade of her career - definitely ''Eat you up'' (2009, English debut) and ''Girls on top'' (2005 - very iconic song and dance in Korea. The song was reffered to in Woman, when she says ''girls on top''). And of course her iconic songs which have been covered by many idols ''Only one'' (2002), ''Atlantis princess'' (2003) and ''My name'' (2004 - she wanted an image change).
Eat You Up, I did it for love, CAMO, MOTO, Girls On Top, The Shadow,... would be great for part 2. And 1 vote for dance cover of One Shot Two Shot from me ^^
I recommend Eien(Eternity) one of her Japanese releases and she is so amazing overall but that was one of my favorites from her and dance wise its a classic. Thanks for reacting.
I have actually done a few singing covers of her music on my youtube. U don't have to listen to them at all but I just love BoA so much. I found her when I was 16 and I am 28 now. She helped me getting through liver rejection in 2016.
Thank you so much for reacting to the Queen of Kpop!! Please react to more videos of her. I recommend Eat You Up, Energetic, I Did It For Love, Look Who’s Talking Now. Japanese release: Eien, Bump Bump, Sweet Impact, Bad Drive (live) :)
*BoA is QUEEN!* Did you know that one (or only?) CEO pretty much said she saved SM Entertainment. When BoA joined, SM was pretty much going under. She single handily saved SM Entertainment. She is also known as Best of Asia and Beat of Angel.
More reactions to BoA ! Kiss My Lips Fox (dance performance) [but for this song not sure if you can watch the live performance without getting blocked] Camo Eat You Up I Did it For Love Valenti Hurricane Venus Copy & Paste The Shadow
Between 2012 and 2018 she only had one Korean comeback with Kiss My Lips which is also worth checking out. She was largely busy releasing music in Japan and acting/judging on Korean TV
If you like her just as an artist you should check out her little mini biography she has on her channel right now that she did for her 20th :3 she's so cute lol
You say 2012 she had the moves, but she's had the moves since she debuted. Even before then if you check out how she got scouted 😂 I've watched you react to this multiple times honestly because I love people reacting to BoA, especially because not many people do sadly. You're a favorite of mine, keep it going. You're doing amazing
One of my favorite live performances is her performance of Bad Drive during her The Face tour back in 2008. This song doesn't have a mv or performance video so the only people who know this song are ones who either saw this performance or have kept up with her albums but the performance is definitely amazing especially the dancing and stable vocals. I would love to see you react to it(from an avid BoA fan!!! It's my dream to get to see her live one day) here's the link BoA- Bad Drive live ruclips.net/video/skNEA_DFCyw/видео.html
Thanks for reacting to her. I can relate to your reaction. That's why I've been her fan for more than 10 years and that's why she's still recognized as the queen of kpop eventuough it's been 20 years since she debuted. If you have a chance, I recommend watching her live performance videos of that songs. It just crazy.
I really enjoyed your reaction! Your comments were on point. I love BoA. And I absolutely agree that she is a queen and she's an amazing dancer. I'm gonna check it out if you already did a second part. What you missed on that gap was Kiss Your Lips.
Her Japanese projects are great as well. I especially loved the song she had with M-flo, a Japanese DJ and MC duo. The song The Love Bug was one of my favorite growing up. Fun fact, Verbal, which is the MC of M-flo, is also a member of the Teriyaki Boyz. The group that did the Tokyo Drift song.
If you have not watched them, I highly suggest watching her “Energetic” and “I’ll Eat You Up”. One she released in 2009 and I think the other was also before 2012. The woman really can move. She was the first female Kpop artist I saw. Because of her I thought there would be lots of the girls that danced. Nope. Mostly walking around and posing. She was the star in one of our “dance” movies of the time. In the 2000’s? Her’s revolved around a drum group.
Rian from Lachicha choreographed Better, Rikimaru choreographed One Shot Two Shot, Rie Hata choreographed Nega Dolla and Kyle Hanagami choreographed Woman.
She's been at this since 2000. Lil factoid: The choreographers for this were the originators of lyrical hip-hop, NappyTabs (Napoleon and Tabitha Duomo). When she was promoting live, SM Entertainment paired her with the leading dancers of their various boy bands. As for when she releases, being a Jumping BoA (fandom name) she goes YEARS between releases. But she's the queen, so we anxiously wait. LMFAO at your reaction to the end of "One Shot, Two Shot". That gets EVERYONE the first time. LOL Nega Dola was on the same album as 1 shot 2 shot. The part with the orange background was allll her. Completely ad lib. "Woman", the opening, upside down. LEGEND! Also, nothing from keeping you from making it the anthem. "Better" speaks for itself. In "Black" her dancers were the choreographers... two of the best in Korea and the East in general. BoA is THE Queen of KPop, he Muse of Asia. Lee Sooman of SM entertainment has said without BoA there would be no SM. She's a Sr. VP (director) with the company and has been in this game since she was 14. She's the first non-Japanese to hit the top of the Oricon and the reason that KPop is international. If you have the time, here's some of her videography (please keep in mind, it's a constant work in progress (her Japanese songs keep getting removed, but the Korean and English should still be there )) ruclips.net/p/PLzXP89Jt8m9ZmeiR-8h0NR4B0rWjWdwuA
BoA performed the Only One more times than I can count. And for the part where she dances with just one guy, BoA said the best guy who danced that part her is Taemin.
She looks young but shes been doing it a bit over 2 decades 😂. She kinda has a huge influence in sm entertainment - the biggest entertaiment in south korea. She helped them gain the fame they got now; way before red velvet, exo , girls generation etccc.
Remember what you said in 6:26, 15K views sir! You've reached it. It's time for part 2! I was smiling so much on every reaction you have to Boa's Videos. Here are some of her other songs: Bump bump (there’s a dance version of this) Sweet impact ( look for the Live version on "The Face" Tour) Shout it out (Dance version) Bad drive (no MV. Just live) Style (no MV. Just live) Dangerous (no MV. Just live) Spark (no MV. Just live) My name Girls on top Moto The shadow Eien (there’s a dance edit version if this) Dakishimeru
If you want a compilation of live performances which includes choreo to most of her big songs here is a 1hr 17 min video of them starting from baby BoA with "id peace B" to "Woman". ruclips.net/video/HABZ6YjEcms/видео.html One of the top comments has the hotlink timestamps to skip to the songs.
there is a video that i'm sure you will love, it's called "BoA's best dance break" is really good and will surprise you, I hope you take a look !! :))♡
You should react to Weeekly “Tag me” Dance practice. Their use of props are really good! Great reaction today. It’s titled “Tag me (@me) choreography video (Fix Ver.)”
if you want to react to some older videos from her heres a few to choose from! id; peace b (her debut), no.1 (her first really big hit), eat you up (her american debut), my name, valenti, camo, girls on top. (no particular order, i think youd really like the eat you up choreography tho!)
Please react eat you up by BoA
Eat you up please
She debuted in 2000, when she was 13 years old, so she's been doing this for 20 years. She was crazyyy popular in japan back in the day.
Yeah people In in the Premier chat were telling me!
It looks like I'll have to go watch her even older releases 😉
@@ChrisStillBeTalkin i recommend you watch “Eat You Up” to see her do some hiphop

I never call BoA a idol, she’s far beyond that
I laughed when you mentioned Taemin since he's actually acted in one of her music videos and is often her dance partner for Only One.
Ahhh I see, it looks like I was ' the only one' that didn't know this fact...
I'll stop now 😂😂😂
But seriously I didn't know until I saw the MAMA 2020 thank you for telling me 😊

For Only One most of the main dancer has dance with her, Taemin, Eunhyuk, Yunho
@@ChrisStillBeTalkin you should look for the first time taemin did the dance with BoA and compare it to the MAMA 2020 one, he's so much more polished now.
@@Button0405 boa said she liked dancing with taemin more
And to think these are just the tip of the iceberg that is BoA. Thanks for the reaction
If this is the tip of the Iceberg I want the whole iceberg!!!!
I'm so excited to know there's soo more, looking forward to checking it out with you guys! 😁
BoA debuted in 2000 and so far she has 20 albums (10 Korean, 9 Japanese, 1 English - not including repackage/special editions/mini albums).
She is the reason why SM is as big as it is today. She saved it from bankruptcy back in the day. She is not only known as the queen of Kpop, she is considered to be the prototype what an idol should be. Currently she is one of the directors of SM. ♥
You can't stop now, do more. She has English releases.
Check out Eat You Up, Energetic, I Did It For Love.
You absolute legend. Thank you for telling me the names of the English releases. I hope people enjoy this video so I can make a part 2 🤞🏾😋
And they all have killer dances!! I also recommend 2008 'the face' concert performance of BAD DRIVE. And also 2005 mkmf perfofmance of GIRLS ON TOP. Those 2 performances are without a doubt BoA at her very best.
I love that you're reacting to BoA! She's been my favourite artist for a long time!
BoA is arguably the pioneer of Kpop. Having debuted in 2000 at the age of 13 with "ID; Peace B" in Korea. Then debuting in Japan in 2002 with "Listen To My Heart" before exploding in popularity and going on to having 6 consecutive albums top the Oricon charts in Japan. I believe she is the only foreign artist to do so. (She even released an English album titled "BoA" in the US in 2009)
Her popularity started rising shortly after, starting with "No. 1" in 2002, winning her the Artist of the Year award at the age of 16. She has released multiple hits over the years like "Valenti", "Sara", "Atlantis Princess", "Girls On Top", "Eat You Up", "Energetic", "Copy & Paste", "Hurricane Venus", "The Shadow", "Only One" and many more.
For choreography, most of her songs are great, she's always been known for being an amazing dancer. There are some Japanese tracks that really stand out; "Eien", which had a dance version on RUclips, but quality wasn't great. Still a good watch. Also the live performance of "Bad Drive" is a masterpiece.
A personal favourite track of mine is "Camo", but also including ones you have watched or I've mentioned above. This is only scratching the surface! She just celebrated her 20th anniversary last year with the album "Better"! Thanks for all the great content! Hope you'll react to more BoA soon!
Finally a new fan who appreciates her music not just her dancing!!!
The dancing in Camo, eat you up, I did it for love, are SICK. She also did a movie with Derek Hough.
Yes! There was some sick dancing in that movie! So underrated
I Did It For Love is indeed insane
BoA is the dancing queen of Kpop!
Between 2012 and 2018, there is CAMO and Kiss My Lips (that I remember).
Also she is HUGE in Japan since early 2000s and you should check out the dance for Eien (from 2009 I think). Pretty cool. Eat You Up is her American song (cool dance moves ofc). I like Brand New Beat (from 2006) and it is a Japanese song... ofc, dancing style is probably from that era but I remember really enjoying that song and the dance at the time. I think No1 and My Name are super iconic (early 2000s)... She is known for her dancing skills and how fast she learns choreo since she has 20+ years of experience now. She has a huge discography ofc... Even her early 2000s music has cool dancing~~~
She has nothing to prove for years! Now all of her comeback are just works of art. My favorite one is Kiss my lips. I definetely love seeing this sexier side of her and it's such a great song, plus that was her first self produced album and she was working with her brother for the music video.
Still in the 20th anniversary vibe and can't wait if something will coming for the 20th anniversary in Japan!
I think she's probably the most influential singer in kpop. She kinda set the standard early on, and she's only 34. She also co-starred in an American movie called Make Your Move 3D back before kpop was big here.
I had the luck to see Queen Boa live at SMTown in Santiago a few years ago. I have to say, even if the venue was filled with mostly young kids who didn't know who she was... once she was on stage, you better bet they all got awed by her performance. Nothing on the other performers, but given not as many people came to see her in comparison, it was quite amazing to see 10-13-year-olds screaming she was great and cool. The kids behind me (who came with their mom) asked me afterwards who the lady was. That's the power she has on stage.
I was there too! hola! And I felt the same, it was amazing how she captivated everyone there and the audience enjoyed so much. Even when she sang a Japanese song very new at that time and of course most people didn't hear it before but everyone was enjoying so much. The power she has.
@@celestisima Hola Hola! What touched me the most was that her, Hyoyeon, Yuri and Suju were just.... so happy? to be there? Like, the older performers knew they weren't the ""main"" dish of the night (in comparison to the EXO and NCT fans I mean) but hell, they made the show amazing
@@christa0chellew Yes it was amazing! I'm a SHINee and f(x) fan so I mostly went for Taemin, Key and Amber but BoA was someone I really wanted to see live!! Only One with Taemin is one of my favourites things in Kpop haha I looove her. Of course I enjoyed all stages as well. They're all amazing tbh. HYO sets were such a party!!! I really loved them too. And Yuri is my SNSD bias so I was so happy to see her.
@@celestisima fellow shawol! Im a locket so i went to see kibum and my mom went for suju (yesung stan)!
@@christa0chellew OMG really? Kibum was so beautiful that day. I'll forever remember when they sang 'M'hijito rico' to him hahaha I'm argentinian so I wasn't familiar with that song.
BoA shout it out is Great so is camo.
BoA is actually pronounced LEGEND
I suggest you check out her live performance medley od ''Bad drive''/''Style''/''Sweet impact'' from her ''BoA LIVE TOUR 2008 THE FACE'' in Tokyo. Check it out in private (because japanese songs are almost always flagged for copyright). It's one of her best dance/vocal performance... and you can see a lot of Michael Jackson inspiration (he is her idol).
Sweet Impact tho! You’re really should check those out Chris
BoA was the inspiration for many legendary 2nd gen idols, and she’s still the idol of idols even in 4th gen. She’s a queen and icon
check also her japanese singles : bump bump, sweet impact, shout it out ,eien.
The fact that you reacted to my queen/ my wife/ my soul of kpop makes me SO happy. BoA is like....a dancer that's why her dancing is so good lol
The choreography for Only one was done by Nappytabs, american dancing duo. :)
BoA also starred in a dance movie starring Derek Hough (from Dancing with the Stars). She's the lead.
People always talking about Eat You Up but don’t forget about ‘Energetic’! That was a bop as well.
Hope you can react to this also:
BoA - Hurricane Venus (2010)
BoA - Copy&Paste (2010)
BoA - The Shadow (2012)
BoA - Kiss My Lips (2015)
BoA - CAMO (2017)
Japanese:
BoA - Shout It Out (2014)
BoA - Lookbook (2015) : ruclips.net/video/OGVW1DaWzqo/видео.html (Live version)
BoA - Jazzclub (2017)
BoA - AMOR (2018)
Inuyasha fans must've heard of her even if they aren't kpop or jpop fans lol.
A lot of people have made some great recommendations but the one I would recommend you react to or at least check out is her performance of 2008 song BAD DRIVE!!! As a long time fan, I think that is one of her best choreos of all time!
YES!!! Bad Drive/Style/Sweet impact performance form her '08 tour is freaking amazing.
lol I just got done recommending that one too, after looking through the comments, I am so happy there are more people that know of that performance, nice to meet you fellow long time fan!!!
@@Sirbananasir there are dozens of us!!
Yes! Definitely do this one!
Absolutely agree👍
She debuted in 2000~ at 13 years old 😳 I love her debut song "ID:Peace B "and also other early 2000s songs she had that slap are ,No 1, valenti, and girl on top. Reccomend watching the live stages of these to really see the dancing. If possible ~
Everybody be forgetting that she have legendary works for her japanese songs it's almost criminal that all the reactors are sleeping on it. You should be jiving to her Bad Drive & Sweet Impact performance from her 2008 The Face Tour. The choreography slaps even up till these day cos no other artists came close to her dance and performance level.
That aside i do hope that she stops playing around and start releasing hard hitting choreography that no other kpop dance covers can hope to achieve.
That's the apex of dance itself.
Here some basics infos on BoA, first her real name is Kwon BoAh stylised BoA and who also means Beat of Angel and is pronounced "Bo-Ah". she debuted in 2000 at the age of 13 year old so this year will be her 20th career anniversary. So she is 34 year old international age and born in 1986. She is also legend in Japan too since she was the first Korean artist to succeed in Japan. She considered a real legend in many level, like she is considered the best dancer in Kpop, she is also known as a amazing vocalist too. She has many records and achievements that has never been surpassed, like the first asian artist to enter the Billboard. She is known as the Queen of K-pop and Best of Asia, because she has paved the way for what K-pop is now. She also known to write and compose lot of her songs. Other cool facts is that she is a shareholder and also a artistic director of SM Entertainment. Last cool fact, she is trilingual and is fluent in Korean, Japanese and English.
Great for showing the queen the respect she deserves. 😁
also check bad drive live performence its a japanese song and the perf is iconic.
BTW highly recommend you to react BoA's 2008 concert performance (bad drive, style, sweet impact) That was one of her best dance performances and I'm sure it is amazing!
I hope you do another BoA reaction.
By this song she was already famous for like 10 years haha
I really appreciate that you react to BoA's dance-related videos!! She is really talented in dancing and has her own style and has very high quality and is really energetic!
I'm so glad that you enjoy all her performances.
QUEEN BoA FOREVER!
yeah she really was the pioneer of the whole dancing in kpop and doing hard choreo because up until a few years ago choreo was more simple? Just catchy moves instead of a whole competition dance routine ya know?
She rly is the queen omg... She slaps always!!!
React to her japanese dance songs : eien, bad drive live, shout it out dance version, bump bump, and her english songs too like eat you up, energetic, i did for love. Those are kinda old but very classic mvs in her prime. Those are really good
She paved the way indeed
Thanks for checking out BoA! If I may recommend an artist and excellent dancer, Alexa has been killing it. Her main mvs have been a trilogy: Bomb, Do or Die, and Revolution.
YESSSS! BoA!!!!
If you liked her than you MUST check out her perfomance!!
She is so famous with her stable live with intense choreo! (Lookbook live or MKMF Girls on top 2005 or baddrive)
but when she does lipsync she just killing stage with dance!! (Moto or Spark (well she even sang these songs live but if you wanna see her dance I recommand lipsync version.))
Call me weird but hearing Chris saying *filthy* is my aesthetic ✨
So rand but I'll take it 😂😂😂👍🏾
@@ChrisStillBeTalkin I’m embarrassed that you saw this (//∇//)
You haven’t seen her dances in her japanese songs. Omg.
Glad to see people appreciate BoA's art!
Her previous songs with (imo) great dancig are definitely "The Shadow" (2012) and ''Camo'' (2018). When it comes to dances from the first decade of her career - definitely ''Eat you up'' (2009, English debut) and ''Girls on top'' (2005 - very iconic song and dance in Korea. The song was reffered to in Woman, when she says ''girls on top''). And of course her iconic songs which have been covered by many idols ''Only one'' (2002), ''Atlantis princess'' (2003) and ''My name'' (2004 - she wanted an image change).
"She has like the same energy as Taemin!" I'm almost certain that's why they're besties lol
Eat You Up, I did it for love, CAMO, MOTO, Girls On Top, The Shadow,... would be great for part 2. And 1 vote for dance cover of One Shot Two Shot from me ^^
I recommend Eien(Eternity) one of her Japanese releases and she is so amazing overall but that was one of my favorites from her and dance wise its a classic. Thanks for reacting.
Funny when u said “bullet to your heart’ that’s smth Jackson would say”😭
.She is Frist Korean singer in my mind. Still No.1
I have actually done a few singing covers of her music on my youtube. U don't have to listen to them at all but I just love BoA so much. I found her when I was 16 and I am 28 now. She helped me getting through liver rejection in 2016.
Thank you so much for reacting to the Queen of Kpop!! Please react to more videos of her. I recommend Eat You Up, Energetic, I Did It For Love, Look Who’s Talking Now. Japanese release: Eien, Bump Bump, Sweet Impact, Bad Drive (live) :)
*BoA is QUEEN!* Did you know that one (or only?) CEO pretty much said she saved SM Entertainment. When BoA joined, SM was pretty much going under. She single handily saved SM Entertainment.
She is also known as Best of Asia and Beat of Angel.
More reactions to BoA !
Kiss My Lips
Fox (dance performance) [but for this song not sure if you can watch the live performance without getting blocked]

BoA is a queeeeen
Between 2012 and 2018 she only had one Korean comeback with Kiss My Lips which is also worth checking out. She was largely busy releasing music in Japan and acting/judging on Korean TV
I haven’t even watched yet but I’m so excited cause I’ve been asking for you to react to her forever!! Made my day!
You're more than welcome!
I hope you enjoy the video! =D
If you like her just as an artist you should check out her little mini biography she has on her channel right now that she did for her 20th :3 she's so cute lol
+1 to one shot two shot freestyling!
You say 2012 she had the moves, but she's had the moves since she debuted. Even before then if you check out how she got scouted 😂 I've watched you react to this multiple times honestly because I love people reacting to BoA, especially because not many people do sadly. You're a favorite of mine, keep it going. You're doing amazing
First of all man... I LOVE YOU!!! Like a lot, for doing BoA. ♥ #subscribed
One of my favorite live performances is her performance of Bad Drive during her The Face tour back in 2008. This song doesn't have a mv or performance video so the only people who know this song are ones who either saw this performance or have kept up with her albums but the performance is definitely amazing especially the dancing and stable vocals. I would love to see you react to it(from an avid BoA fan!!! It's my dream to get to see her live one day) here's the link
BoA- Bad Drive live
ruclips.net/video/skNEA_DFCyw/видео.html
Thanks for reacting to her. I can relate to your reaction. That's why I've been her fan for more than 10 years and that's why she's still recognized as the queen of kpop eventuough it's been 20 years since she debuted. If you have a chance, I recommend watching her live performance videos of that songs. It just crazy.
Yessss finally a big RUclipsr reacts to BoA her earlier stuff was great too and Japanese and English videos as well....I'm glad u reacted to her
She is legend.
Do reaction on Boa's Energetic. Dope choreo 👍
I really enjoyed your reaction! Your comments were on point. I love BoA. And I absolutely agree that she is a queen and she's an amazing dancer. I'm gonna check it out if you already did a second part. What you missed on that gap was Kiss Your Lips.
Has he seen her iconic upside-down walk?
Her Japanese projects are great as well. I especially loved the song she had with M-flo, a Japanese DJ and MC duo. The song The Love Bug was one of my favorite growing up. Fun fact, Verbal, which is the MC of M-flo, is also a member of the Teriyaki Boyz. The group that did the Tokyo Drift song.
yesss i was so obsessed with one shot two shot when it came out!
If you have not watched them, I highly suggest watching her “Energetic” and “I’ll Eat You Up”. One she released in 2009 and I think the other was also before 2012. The woman really can move. She was the first female Kpop artist I saw. Because of her I thought there would be lots of the girls that danced. Nope. Mostly walking around and posing.
She was the star in one of our “dance” movies of the time. In the 2000’s? Her’s revolved around a drum group.
Thanks for that, i just love her ♥️♥️♥️
Rian from Lachicha choreographed Better, Rikimaru choreographed One Shot Two Shot, Rie Hata choreographed Nega Dolla and Kyle Hanagami choreographed Woman.
She's been at this since 2000. Lil factoid: The choreographers for this were the originators of lyrical hip-hop, NappyTabs (Napoleon and Tabitha Duomo). When she was promoting live, SM Entertainment paired her with the leading dancers of their various boy bands.
As for when she releases, being a Jumping BoA (fandom name) she goes YEARS between releases. But she's the queen, so we anxiously wait.
LMFAO at your reaction to the end of "One Shot, Two Shot". That gets EVERYONE the first time. LOL
Nega Dola was on the same album as 1 shot 2 shot. The part with the orange background was allll her. Completely ad lib.
"Woman", the opening, upside down. LEGEND! Also, nothing from keeping you from making it the anthem.
"Better" speaks for itself.
In "Black" her dancers were the choreographers... two of the best in Korea and the East in general.
BoA is THE Queen of KPop, he Muse of Asia. Lee Sooman of SM entertainment has said without BoA there would be no SM. She's a Sr. VP (director) with the company and has been in this game since she was 14. She's the first non-Japanese to hit the top of the Oricon and the reason that KPop is international.
If you have the time, here's some of her videography (please keep in mind, it's a constant work in progress (her Japanese songs keep getting removed, but the Korean and English should still be there )) ruclips.net/p/PLzXP89Jt8m9ZmeiR-8h0NR4B0rWjWdwuA
BoA performed the Only One more times than I can count. And for the part where she dances with just one guy, BoA said the best guy who danced that part her is Taemin.
Watch her live perf.
She looks young but shes been doing it a bit over 2 decades 😂. She kinda has a huge influence in sm entertainment - the biggest entertaiment in south korea. She helped them gain the fame they got now; way before red velvet, exo , girls generation etccc.
I like ur reaction! The speechless, the rewinds, just says it all. 😄
You HAVE to do Camo
Remember what you said in 6:26, 15K views sir! You've reached it. It's time for part 2! I was smiling so much on every reaction you have to Boa's Videos. Here are some of her other songs:
Bump bump (there’s a dance version of this)
Sweet impact ( look for the Live version on "The Face" Tour)
Shout it out (Dance version)
Bad drive (no MV. Just live)
Style (no MV. Just live)
Dangerous (no MV. Just live)
Spark (no MV. Just live)
My name
Girls on top
Moto
The shadow
Eien (there’s a dance edit version if this)
Dakishimeru
She is so under appreciated by the new Kpop fans and it’s so sad
I would love to see you react to one of her newest songs, ‘Woman’. She pulls an intense dance move right at the beginning.
You should react to Girls On Top Live!!! It's so fun.
finally... i'm waiting for this..✨😊
please reaction more BoA videos : ID Peace B, No. 1, My Name, Girls On Top, Camo ^^
There is also 'Woman', which you would appreciate for innovative choreography and it's a more recent track.
He just reacted to Woman in this video XD
He definitely did appreciate it though :)
@@Dreamy.Sunshine My bad! I seemed to have ended the video after Nega Dola lol. Oops!
@@samiachowdhury1986 No worries, just thought it was funny XD
You know there
God of K-pop that is TVXQ
King of K-pop that is Big Bang
Queen of K-pop that is BoA
Prince of K-pop that is SHINee
Yap!
If you want a compilation of live performances which includes choreo to most of her big songs here is a 1hr 17 min video of them starting from baby BoA with "id peace B" to "Woman".

More BoA pliss
I loved the video, congratulations 💖
Still waiting for the part 2 you promised...
Finally
You should react to Weeekly “Tag me” Dance practice. Their use of props are really good! Great reaction today. It’s titled “Tag me (@me) choreography video (Fix Ver.)”
Ah it’s titled choreography video and it’s a still version.
Omg please do ID Peace B, Atlantis Princess, My Name, Girls on Top, MOTO
You should react to more like My name, girls on top, Moto, hurricane Venus, and camo!!
Also The Greatest and forgive me dance practice !!
The shadow and Spark too omg there’s a lot😭
Will you make part 2?
Bruv, you mean veteran of 20 years! Queen is not queen without a heavy portfolio!
