Boa Kwon (권보아) is one of the most successful Korean pop stars of the last decade. She released her debut album in 2000 at the age of 13 and speaks Japanese, conversational English, her own native Korean, and she has recorded a few songs in Mandarin Chinese. This has led her to be one of the most commerically successful KPOP stars in foreign markets. However, her numerous attempts to promote her music in the US, China, and Japan has hurt her popularity at home in Korea. Though most people know her, few seem to have strong feelings about her anymore. Peoples' most frequent casual comment about her is that she is a really talented dancer.
Her most recent single is titled "Copy & Paste", and I have no idea why. Maybe she is commenting on how so many Korean pop stars just copy whatever they seem to fancy from American pop? I think someone should do a digital cover of this song and call it "Ctrl C & Ctrl V".
Her other big hit of the year was "Hurricane Venus". Once again, no idea what that is supposed to mean. I didn't like it as much, but here it is.
