Those questions consist of "are there going to be english version of VALENTI or Key of Heart" (don't remember the songs but I know they'd suck as American releases). There have been questions regarding what her favorite Korean dishes are. Those things don't relate to the casual American music listener and will put them off. I feel that most times BoA has no control how she's being handled because her team doesn't fully understand and her already established fans view her as a K-Pop/J-Pop idol in American rather than an Artist trying to make it as an American styled Artist.
MapleStory is not good promotion. She's being listed on a site of gamers who are probably familiar with her or her career back in Asia. How does that reach the mass amounts of American music listeners? It doesn't.
The only decent promotion I believe she had was Forever21, which itself isn't all that great.

i agree. i thought the forever21 promotion was good but it was only up what, like 2-3 days? it seems like most of her promotion is online..
lol whatever. i still think IDIFL has the possibility of being a hit despite a couple of lines that can't be understood. but it probably won't since it's barely getting played on radios eh?
