[article] BoA's Teenage Discipline Pays Off at 20

Excerpt:

Quote:

BoA’s success in Japan is assured. Every new album tops the Oricon music chart and more than 10,000 fans gather to see each concert on the tour. But it is the result of a punishing regime in her teens.

For one thing, she couldn’t wear sneakers like other teens because she always danced wearing high-hilled shoes. That has caused inflammation in her feet. "It’s an occupational hazard,” she shrugs.

On Sunday afternoon, BoA was preparing for part of her 2007 concert tour “Made In Twenty” at the Yokohama arena. "Now I can wear sneakers. It feels good,” she says. Age has crept up on her. "I never used to take vitamins when I was in my teens, but now I take vitamins and proteins. It is harder to get up early in the morning when you’re 20." To BoA, life as a 20something brings more responsibilities. "I have more responsibility and I can’t joke so much because all staff take my jokes seriously."

such a typical Korean thing to do.. =P
Korea always puts such emphasis on BoA's struggle and hardship...
Not that I'm saying she didn't put in the hard work to get where she is now, cause she did...

But then most singers have to get used to heels... its part of the music industry... that's why I shake my head at CSJH.. =P they're supposedly great dancers... but they wear these tiny almost non-existant heels...

i waqs thinking of the things she missed out, since she started out at 14 years old. that's the age when we all are having fun, and she's already working so hard!
