BoA's new album
BoA is coming out with a new album!! :) :) :) Read this article:
Singer BoA has revealed her first image wearing a traditional Korean costume, called a “hanbok,” designed specifically for her by acclaimed hanbok designer Lee Young-hee. The singer donned the costume during the photo session for her new album’s jacket that took place on June 9 in Gangneung, Gangwon Province. Gangneung is the hometown of Sinsa-imdang, a historic figure who is revered by many as the ideal Korean woman. The purpose of the attire was to stress BoA's Korean nationality.
"By featuring BoA wearing a traditional costume, we wanted to create the most Korean-like image for this girl, who turned 20 this year. We also wanted to show her with a completely different image from the one she has established so far by performing Western music, and to mark her coming-of-age. That is why we shot the photos in Ojukheon, the hometown of the ideal Korean woman Sinsa-imdang," said a person from BoA’s agency, SM Entertainment.
BoA also recorded a remake of the song “Autumn Letter,” without accompaniment, in Ojukheon. The music video of the song, which will be included in her fifth album, was also filmed in the town; it features BoA as a woman who misses her lover. BoA is the first artist to write a remake of “Autumn Letter,” which was originally written by folk songwriter and singer Kim Min-ki.
Photos of BoA wearing the hanbok will be published on the cover of her fifth album entitled “Girls On Top,” which is due for release on June 22.
