“BoA-sunbaenim had a lot of impact on me and my career. In 2001, during the days when I was still an elementary school student, I watched her debut in Japan and was shocked in a good way. She danced and sang very well and was also proficient in Japanese. I thought to myself ‘I want to become like BoA-sshi’ and dreamed of debuting there, too.” - Kim TaeYeon
“People called me “Little BoA” when I first came to Korea. I was like, obsessed. I had the long hair and round cheeks and I really admired her look. I mean, that’s what made me start. Yeah, she’s definitely my icon. And I mean, she still tends to amaze the world. BoA unnie, she’s tiny and little and cute and completely lovable. And she goes onstage and she’s completely different. That’s something that I definitely admire. When it comes to music, her passion is so intense that she’s like a different person.” - Hwang Tiffany
