Gweon Bo-a (BoA), one of the most promising young artists in South East Asia, is only 15 years old. She was signed to South Korean record label SM Entertainment in her early teens. She came to the attention of Japanese label Avex, after her debut album ID: PEACE B made the Top 10 in Korea, and in 2001 signed a recording deal with the label. Since then, all of her singles charted in Oricon ranking (Japanese equivalent of Billboard). Her single, THE MEANING OF PEACE, a duet with Kumi Koda (see below), is a September 11 benefit CD produced by Tetsuya Komuro, one of Japan's most prolific and successful producer. In March 2002, after releasing her first Japanese album LISTEN TO MY HEART, she has become the firstnon-Japanese Asian artist to top the album charts in Japan (charted No.1 in Oricon album ranking on 3/25/2002). LISTEN TO MY HEART has been co-produced by Max Matsuura (Avex) and Soo Man Lee (SM Entertainment) and it contains a remix by Hex Hector. BoA sings in Korean, Japanese, and English. Her second Korean album, NO.1, was released on April 12, 2002 (150,000 copies were sold in just the first day).
