In a heartfelt post, K-pop icon BoA has addressed both her fans and the recent backlash sparked by her comments during a drunken livestream. This emotional message, shared early on April 15th KST, paints a picture of her struggles and unwavering commitment to her music.

Reflecting on her past few years, BoA admitted, "I’ve faced significant challenges—not only in my career but personally, too. While I believed I was doing my best, I've come to understand that my approach may have made some uncomfortable." Her revelation highlights a newfound introspection about her journey as an artist.

BoA elaborated on her changing mindset, confessing, "In the past, I thought doing what I was told and doing it well would suffice. However, as I’ve evolved with the world around me, I've begun questioning my place in it. I realize now that true fulfillment goes beyond mere compliance."

Despite these hurdles, music remains BoA's lifeline. She poignantly stated, "If I lost music, it would feel like my entire world had shattered. That's why I strive to stay connected with you, my fans, through it. Even in my darkest moments, when I felt I couldn't rise again, music—and all of you—have been my solace."

Addressing the uncertainties of her future, she humbly remarked, "I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to perform. We’re all aging. Yet, I believe there's an incredible potential within each of us. I long to rediscover that spark alongside you."

Gratitude flowed through her words: "Thanks to the trust, concern, and quiet support from all of you, I can proudly say today—I am BoA."

This heartfelt acknowledgment follows a controversial moment where BoA made a dismissive comment about comedian Park Na Rae during a joint livestream with Jun Hyun Moo. Her remark, suggesting that "OpPa is too good for her," garnered significant backlash.

In response to the controversy, BoA sincerely apologized for her comment, stating, "I regrettably made an inappropriate remark in Park Na Rae's absence, and I'm thankful she was understanding. I also want to extend my apologies to my loyal fans for disappointing them." Jun Hyun Moo echoed her sentiments, reaching out to Park Na Rae to express his regret as well.

Despite facing criticism, BoA's candid and vulnerable message has resonated with fans, who continue to rally around her authenticity and passion for her art.
