Translation Bits

Prior to her Japanese debut, in order to learn Japanese quickly BoA stayed at a Japanese NHK announcer's house. Son Hyeon Ju was shocked "That's amazing. Isn't that like heading to the ground? (*trans note: something like going hands-on)".

Cha In Pyo said to BoA "It seems your parents are really amazing" expressing his shock. BoA recalled that "I was really raised in a pasture". In response, BoA replied "I heard that Cha In Pyo's children are homeschooling. I personally really am for homeschooling".

She said "Although me not being able to attend school is not something to boast about, there were conditions which did not allow me to attend, and there was no school that would accept me. As I had to live traveling to-and-fro between Korea and Japan, I thought that if I were to go on as a singer I should at least have academic grades that aren't too lousy. With the thought that I should do high school, I did my high school GED at the age of a 1st year high schooler.".

BoA expressed in regards to acting "I would like to start slowly from a small role. But then they said its burdensome to give 'BoA' a small role".

"There's a biased view that '(People think) she'll get casted easily', 'She'll be able to act easily since she's a singer'", in response BoA expressed her sadness by saying "But more than that I got rejected many times because of the name 'BoA'. I'm BoA but if I get rejected because I'm BoA, then I won't be able to live as BoA isn't it".

BoA who got the role this time through an audition said "I'm also like any other newbie actress but people raise their standards thinking that I'm singer BoA 'Let's see how well this kid can act' I'm afraid of this kind of gaze".

In response, Son Hyeon Ju said "It'll be good not to see it as a gain and a loss. Be comfortable in others' gazes. You're not BoA but Kwon BoA, decide to be comfortable. The best method is to believe in Kwon BoA and go with that belief.".

Furthermore, he gave BoA his sincere advise "And I hope you won't go too fast. You have to know which path you slowly climbed from in order to know the path to descending to. It's alright to go slow.".
