At age 13, BoA made her official debut on August 25, 2000 with the album ID; Peace B.

BoA made her Japanese debut on May 30, 2001 with the single "ID; Peace B".

Her family name, Kwon, translates to ‘power and authority’, while her first name, BoA, translates to ‘precious jewel’.

She has 2 older brothers: Kwon Sunhwon and Kwon Soonwook (born in 1981).

On September 5, 2021, it was announced that BoA's older brother, director Kwon Soon Wook, had passed away of cancer after battling with it starting the year before.

She can speak Korean, Japanese, and English.

BoA lived with Girls’ Generation‘s Sooyoung and CSJH‘s Sunday for 2 years in Japan.

The first thing she does when she wakes up is drink a glass of water.

Her hobbies include listening to music, watching movies, and karaoke.

She is a big fan of Justin Timberlake, Michael Jackson, Ne-yo, and Whitney Houston.

One of her close friends is Crystal Kay, a J-pop idol.

Most of BoA’s music is dance-pop or R&B.

She has collaborated with American singer & rapper Akon before.

Before she joined Girls On Top (GOT the beat), she had a lot of doubts about whether she would fit in amongst the members or not (due to the age gap).

BoA’s ideal type: “His appearance is very important to me, looks are the key. I like somebody whose feelings match mine, who’s comfortable, and whom I can talk to easily.”
