BoA causes confusion with a cryptic Instagram story post

AKP STAFF

[UPDATED BELOW] 

On April 6 KST, BoA shared an Instagram story update that caused some confusion among fans.

The singer wrote, 


"Once the contract ends, I can leave, right??"

At first, the post caused quite an uproar, as many thought that the post read "은퇴 (eun-twae)" or "retire". However, upon closer observation, they realized that BoA had actually written, "운퇴 (woon-twae)", a word that does not exist in the dictionary.

Some speculated that the word was a shortened form of "leaving the gym", or more literally, "leaving [a] workout." Others still wondered if BoA had made a spelling error, when she actually meant "retire". 

Meanwhile, just a few hours earlier on the same day, BoA was seen thanking her hoobae SHINee's Onew for a handmade key chain gift. 

[UPDATE]

BoA has now clarified her earlier post with another update, writing, "It looks like I misspelled a word. I meant retire."

It's not Onew who gave her the keychain but it's Onnu her nail artist. You should be more careful when you write articles. This is a proof that allkpop's translations are sometimes incorrect.
