EAT YOU UP

Boa Kwon commonly known by her stage name BoA, is a Korean singer, active in both South Korea and Japan. BoA was discovered by SM Entertsiment talent agents when she accompanied her older brother to a talent search. In 2000, after two years of training, she released ID; Peace B, her debut Korean album, under SM Entertainment. Two years later, she released her debut Japanese album, Listen to My Heart, under the Avex label.

BoA's multilingual skills (she speaks Japanese and conversational English along with her native Korean and has recorded songs in Madarine Chinese)have contributed to her commercial success in South Korea and Japan and her popularity throughout Asia. She is one of only two non-Japanese Asians who have had million-selling albums in Japan and is one of only two artists to have six consecutive number-one albums on the Oricon charts.

On September 2, 2008, BoA's Korean record label, SM Entertainment announced that she will make her American debut under SM's new subsidiary label SM Entertainment USA. A press conference was held on September 10, 2008 at the Seoul Imperial Palace Hotel, to clarify the details of her American debut, with the slogan "Best of Asia, Bring on America". SM announced that her debut single, "EAT YOU UP", would be released on October 14, 2008; a remix of the song features rapper FloRida. Boa consider the meaning is Beat of Asia.
My Opinion: I'm not a Boa fans but i like Japanese & Korean Songs so i do knew her a little bir because she quite popular in South Korea & Japan. I had watched her teasers of " EAT YOU UP" and i like the hip hop dance she perfrom inside the MV. She cool & she really dance well( since she have pratice dancing since she was 11 years old when had comfirm signed a contract wit SM Entertaiment)
But is a bit hard for an asian singer to bit into American Music Board. But i wish her good luck and successful. Hope she really can be the " Beat of Asia " & i will be really proud of this.
