Before "K-pop Demon Hunters" topped the charts and BLACKPINK sold out stadiums; "Queen of K-pop" BoA was making moves you can't ignore. This episode, we're diving into the multi-talented Korean singer, dancer and producer's US debut English album - the self-titled "BoA" - released in 2009. If you loved Britney's "Blackout" and Janet Jackson's "Feedback" vibes, then this is the lost gem of an album you're going to stan.

After selling millions of records as the No.1 teen-pop sensation in Korea and Japan for close to a decade; SM Entertainment's shining starlet BoA has her sights set on America. For her debut English album; they roped in some of the hottest electro-pop and R&B hitmakers including Bloodshy & Avant (Britney, Kylie), Sean Garrett (Usher, Destiny's Child), Brian Kennedy (Rihanna's 'Disturbia'). There's a Britney co-write, a Monrose cover, killer choreography and flashy music videos to unpack... what's not to love? The "BoA" album made history as the first album by a South Korean artist to ever chart on the Billboard 200. Literally, not everybody has that.

Join Joel and David as they go back in time to revisit one of K-pop's most significant breakthrough stories in America; and share their personal loves for the genre on the podcast for the very first time!
