Plus, she made it a lot more easier for other korean stars to try go outside of korea and there have been countless "BoA #2"s out there.
SOrry, I was underestimating BoA a bit, but I don't think she's had a big impact on the tension, but I do believe she's representing the first generation of koreans making it big in japan. =) However, there's no sign of better relations between the countries, diden't korea almost declare war the other week?
