She openly discusses the challenges of living in the public eye, including dealing with malicious comments. Despite enjoying the title ‘Queen of K-pop’, BoA admits there was a time when the title felt burdensome due to the distance it created between her and others. However, she has now embraced it, accepting the title with grace.
Entering her 30s, BoA candidly expresses the physical challenges of dancing, highlighting ‘Only One’ as one of the most demanding songs to perform. She laments the transient nature of music today, yearning for a time when songs served as timeless portals to memories. BoA hopes her music will be remembered as a ‘time machine’, transporting listeners back to cherished moments.
