BoA received offers from 15 agencies before her debut


On the May 29th episode of KBS 2TV‘s ‘Win Win‘, BoA revealed her popularity among agencies before her debut.

BoA shared, “When I was in the [final year] of elementary school, I attended a dance competition at a local department store with one of my older brothers who was an active b-boy at the time. Although I couldn’t participate because I was too young, I got to go on stage and dance for the supporting guest ceremony. Afterwards, I received business cards from 15 agencies.”
“I signed a contract with SM Entertainment in elementary school and started my trainee period. I commuted by bus and subway for 2 hours everyday by myself to go from my home in Nam Yang Ju, Gyeonggido to Kangnam, Seoul where the company office was.”
“Because the definition of a trainee was fairly unknown at the time, I was embarrassed to tell my friends about it and trained quietly.”
BoA also revealed the truth behind the $3 million investment from SM Entertainment that went into her debut.
