ID Peace B came out in 2000, so indeed early 2000s to answer your question. She was around 17 when she did My Name. Brittany Spears seemed to be a big influence on BoA, she said that Hit Me Baby One More Time came out while she was preparing to debut in 1998. During this era of MVs it was 2000-2004 so songs like Oops I did it Again, Shake Ya Tailfeather, Work It, Get Your Freak On, Drop It Like It's Hot... etc were popular in the US and you can clearly see the influence in the later MVs of BoA lol. In other news BoA and Brittany Spears in 2003 did a 1 hour christmas special where BoA performs all these songs (or most of them) and Brittany Spears performs Toxic, Lose Control, and a few others. In the special you can see that Brittany's style of performing with coordinated dance definitely influenced KPop.
"BoA and Brittany Spears in 2003 did a 1 hour christmas special" That was probably the start of that annoying trope in Western media that BoA was the Korean Britney. " In the special you can see that Brittany's style of performing with coordinated dance definitely influenced KPop" Sorry, I don't see it at all. Janet Jackson or Paula Abdul are more suitable. Check out the 2003 version of Spears Toxic and BoA's Bad Drive.
A lot of people have done covers of her songs! She is a lot of artist singer that they looked up too and she has been compared to janet jackson, a lot! She does everything!
Just labeling her an "Icon" doesn't really encompass how she forever changed the industry. Her success became the modern blueprint for the trainee systems that are used today by basically every company. As others have mention she single handly saved SM from bankruptcy and is still there today (I believe she has a director position). There is a reason every idol in the industry looks up to her. Her and TVXQ/DBSK led the hallyu wave in japan(beyond just releasing japanese versions of their popular songs). I hope for the after deep dive series not only that you check out the rest of her korean catalog, but you take the time for her japanese releases. During the height of her career she was alternating between korean and japanese albums. She was my gateway into kpop through her song Every Heart being used as an ending theme for Inuyasha.
Im not gonna lie, my first BoA song was “Every Heart” from InuYasha that came out in 2002, she debuted in 2000. . I later went and got moon and Sunrise, Dakisimaru, one shot two shot and others as they came out. BoA was born in 1986, so she is 2 years and like 25 days older than me. Solar is a big BoA fan. BoA also did a sing with my boy Joohoney on one of his solo albums. TVXQ’s Triangle she is also featured in. There is an obvious reason why I call her Queen BoA… basically regarded as the Queen of KPop.
I'm so happy to see your reacrion of BoA's mv. i wish you react BoA's live stage someday. its really realy better than mv. debut performance of id:peaceB is cute also everybody shocked 13 years old girl's performance. i'm waiting for your next contents!! and 많관부 BoA' new song~ thank you.
ID; Peace B 7:35 in the SMCU this scene is apparently the beginning of all that Kwangya thing as “BoA” was used as the acronym for Birth.Of.Age (the start of that thing SM is doing) in one of the SM Town concerts. No.1 In 2022 (iirc) this song was selected as the Best K-Pop Song in SK history by music experts, the article was published in Melon. Beating EXO, bts, GG, BP, etc. The song has a very complex writing (can't remember what technique exactly) and because of that has been praised a lot and included in text books for hangul and music classes. It was called masterpiece of literature. Atlantis Princess: 15:32 BoA almost died shooting this jump scene, it made the news; also during the time, her first manager passed away. So she ‘banned’ this song for many years because it reminded her of sad times, recently she said she found a new ans happy meaning for her and sings it a lot. The googles she used her became a fashion trend and even in these days you can see some idols using them and many times they are referred as the BoA's / Atlantis' googles. What a queen My Name This was definitely her im a grown teenager album and single. Although she was a bit forced to have this sexy concept/choreo. (Hence why she later released Girls On Top, the lyrics says it all) I love Rock With th You but i wish you'd had done the Japanese MV instead 🤧
Yo literally one of my first ever kpop songs and I didn't even realise until I was 3 years into being a kpop fan. I wasn't told who the artist was when I was shown the MV, I just knew it was kpop. It wasn't until I went into my own BoA deep dive 6 years later and the song and MV being very familiar. I was shown the MV in 2009 but didn't become a kpop fan until in 2012 and my deep dive was like 2015-ish.
She is an icon, she is a legend, she is...the moment 😂 Her vocal style early on reminds me of one of my favourite japanese vocalists called Ayaka (especially in Atlantis Princess) ❤ 18:47 There ain't no party like an S Club partayy! 🎉🎉. Omg I was obsessed as a child. Weirdly, I haven't thought about them for years, then Two In a Million was randomly stuck in my head aaall day yesterday, now you bring them up? 🤔 My Name is still on a few of my playlists. This is when her voice starts to mature into the BoA we know & love imo. I always remember Solar's hilarious dancing to that song 😂 Maybe that's where you've heard it? Btw Solar is a HUUGE BoA fan. When she went on BoA's show she was so nervous and fangirling really hard
1 per year is crazy when we look at the early career and her releasing full.albums in Korea and Japan and sometimes mini albums which we were re-records of japanese songs in Korean, by the time she was 18 she had more albums and releases than whay a lot of people release in their whole career
BoA's n 1 was my first kpop jam. She is all idol's idol. She was one of the first female soloist that could do anything (sing, dance, act, etc) and kinda made SM grow to what it was (cus now SM is very much not in its prime)
I've been watching your reactions for quite a while now, and you're fun! BoA is such an amazing artist! If you want to dive deeper into 1st generation K-pop, you should check out BoA's sisters, S.E.S.! They were also under SM, and I think you would like their songs. I recommend I'm Your Girl, Love, Show Me Your Love, Soul II Soul, and Paradise to get you started.
awww thank you!! 🥰🥰 that means a lot, I'm glad people are enjoying my videos 💙 I love BoA I've been jamming to her music since her week! I doooo have S.E.S on my throwback series list 👀
Most people danced because of Michael Jackson. I started cos of BoA. Apparently my friends too (not dance covers but actual dancing). It's a journey i gotta tell you that. Edit: btw, a lot of reactors don't react to BoA's Japanese releases so you gotta check em out when you can. Psst, you can check her 08 The Face tour which is the pinnacle of her career thus far.
BoA was my first favorite for KPOP though I found her through JPOP since I speak japanese and have been a JPOP fan longer. I have seen the movie she was in with Derek Hough, seen her live and met her in person in japan years ago at a meet and greet. Of course I am forever a Solar bias, But Solar fangirls and stans BoA all crazy like. These songs have been on my playlist forever, before things like playlists and spotify even existed. Hard to believe she is 2nd gen Kpop cause she is only like 36 years old now.
I know im late to this video series, but im happy to see this. BoA was my first kpop artist that I listened to back in 2007, first ever song i listened to was "No.1" she is definitely, at this point, "legend" doesnt even do justice for her, like she is beyond that level. Even though now she isnt as active as before as an artist, since she does a lot of executive work for SM. But she has basically been in the industry for, i think, at least 25 years.
Yeah, so nostalgic. BoA, S.E.S and Baek Ji Young was my entry in K-Pop early 2000. btw. As for Rock with you. Indy-K-Rock was THE thing in Korea in the early 2000s too. BoA was also very successful in Japan, where rock is still very important today. Japan's metal/rock market is the largest in the world. In Korea, a TV show Scandal in 2004 caused a fairly strong downfall of indy rock.
I love this so much! BoA was my gateway into K-pop way back in the day with Shinhwa and S.E.S. Reliving this time makes me so happy. The sound of ID; Peace B always reminded me of that final song Julia Stiles dances to in the "Save the Last Dance" movie. 😅
Valenti, Rock With Me were some of the few i love from BoA. She's got a long discography & she's got quite some hits in her japanese releases. If my memory is correct she debuted in Japan first before debuting her 1st mini album in Korea. My sister is the one buying BoA's albums (we both started following SM artists & YG artists during 1st gen K-pop & we dun buy duplicates & assigned ourselves the artists albums to buy to maximize our back-then students' allowances) and there were many songs i couldn't locate on youtube...
You reacted to the Korean version of “Rock With You”, which was lazily put together (it’s just the Korean version over the original Japanese MV). Still a classic though, glad it was included!
13:37 Yep, she's what you think of as popstar: early Britney, Xtina, vibes xD Or thinking about boy groups, nsync and JT, but of course dancing much better than any of them (no hate, I love me some 90s early 2000s!)
And if you want a korean BoA ballad MV, i think “Waiting..” is her only rral korean ballad with an MV, her viice is so stunning and the song is very touching. Her Japanese discography however will give you more Ballads as singles, like the real cutting veins stuff 😭 please check them out. Ps. Sorry for spamming your comments section 😅
♡ i love boa's voice so much. its soo my "type". im so convinced that if i had gotten into kpop as a child (which i was in the 00s) i wouldve been such a huge fan of hers (and ses. so an sm girlie i guess) i added rock with you to my community tab comment bc i noticed how much the comments are like saying stuff to the effect of "dc but make it 2000s". i thought that was fun. (im powering through being sick again which is why im later than i would like but if my brain is braining correctly, does 3 mv videos mean the last one is forgive me, better, woman, 1s2s and a fifth one i cant predict rn? i dont wanna try to predict the 2nd one cus thats coming sooner so ill feel dumb if im wrong. what if theres a curveball) (ive also been listening to boas discog a lot lately, thought i havent gotten to all of it its like 400+ songs, so im looking forward to see what the fans in your community ended up recommending for the bside playlist) ^^
I know yoona from girls generation and hwasa have both done covers of my name, but I’m sure others have as well just the two I thought of at the moment!
I just glanced ahead and it's funny that in the 15 songs you did end up with you managed to not get any ballads. One of My first BoA songs was a ballad from the No1 album, "waiting" It's so goood
The first video that came to mind when you mentioned recognizing parts of BoA’s My Name was Mamamoo’s karaoke cover. I can’t remember if you watched this video during the Mamamoo deep dive, but they covered the song on the MBCkpop Karaoke CONDOLL series. ruclips.net/video/Gt5F9jHpGtE/видео.htmlsi=uhd6hsXsIC6WaOIe at 6:55
Please, don't skip 'Shine We Are' and 'Milky Way'! Those early 2000s vibe are fantastic! Also, I don't know if people recomended 'Eat You Up', her first delve into the western world.
Noooooo you did the Korean “Rock With You” instead the original & superior Japanese one 😢😭 I checked the playlist of the series and you only did the Korean MVs, PLEASE do the Japanese series, I'm begging you. You will ascend, imo, her japanese career was what made BoA evolve as the artist (singer, dancer, musician, composer, etc) she is today. She was forced to arrange by herself her music to fit the Japanese live standards as the way she wanted to do it (cuz SM didn't want to invest on that). I LOOOVE seeing people reacting for the 1st time to BoA and even more what you did, such a journey. THANK YOU 💛
It's been and done, years ago, but 13 is IMO too young to be performing on the national stage like this. Kpop seems to be headed back that direction in 4th Gen, which is really unfortunate. You cited Brittany and Xtina, but I'll suggest another likely influence: Janet Jackson. Especially on the last two tracks, think "Rhythm Nation" and "Nasty"

@haileygreenhalgh BoA was like korean janet jackson not britney. but she was fan of britney's anyway
A lot of people have done covers of her songs! She is a lot of artist singer that they looked up too and she has been compared to janet jackson, a lot! She does everything!
BoA has been an absolute queen since the very beginning!
she really has!!

I love Rock With th You but i wish you'd had done the Japanese MV instead 🤧
Girl slayed from the very beginning of her career
Eat you up is a must i love that freaking song

It's so refreshing to watch people react to BoA (especially from one of my favorite reactors ^_^)
27:13 it sounds familiar because Mamamoo ladies were singing this song during coin-karaoke session... One of your deep dives, you've watched it.
that's 100% it!!! thank you! 🥰

You might recognise My Name because Solar and Wheein sang it in a karaoke room episode. (If you've seen it)

An amazing ballad by BoA is Sunshine. I think it’s an ost and not on any of her albums.
ID; Peace B is still my favorite song of hers. The vibe of the song just does something to my brain
I love this so much! BoA was my gateway into K-pop way back in the day with Shinhwa and S.E.S. Reliving this time makes me so happy.
The sound of ID; Peace B always reminded me of that final song Julia Stiles dances to in the "Save the Last Dance" movie. 😅

You know she had to be special when she is one of only three female idols that have been admitted as full members of KOMCA.
Thank you💜💜💜
I know yoona from girls generation and hwasa have both done covers of my name, but I’m sure others have as well just the two I thought of at the moment!
twice has also done one!!

Has rogue seen hwasa do my name?
Why do the backup dancers in ID;Peace B look like 4th gen idols 💀
🤣 okay you aren't wrong... LOL
Actually they were idols, they were called blackbeat. There main singer was a singing coach at SM for years after they disbanded
