BoA talked about how her great success in Japan was unexpected.
The October 29 episode of MBC's 'Section TV' included an interview with BoA, who just made a hot comeback with 'Woman.'
The veteran idol looked back at her 19-year career, and said, "I learned Japanese even before my debut with Japanese promotions in mind. I thought I would be returning after 1 or 2 years of promoting in Japan. After Japanese promotions, I shared my farewells, saying, 'I'm going to Korea.'"
She continued, "I was preparing for my college entrance exam, but I was asked to return to Japan because I topped the Oricon Chart. Returning to Japan was difficult because of my academics, so the Japanese media would fly over to Korea to film me."
You know she's popular when media from another country fly to hers to film her. xD
She's such an icon!
