[Asia's star BoA has directly conveyed her final farewell to fans as she leaves SM Entertainment, with which she has been for a long 25 years.]
On the 12th, BoA posted two photos along with heartfelt thoughts on her Instagram account. In the photos, BoA is sitting on a large sculpture engraved with the letters of her name B, O, A, wearing a calm yet peaceful smile.
Through her post, BoA officially announced that she is leaving without regrets, having shared so much over the years, marking the end of her long journey with the agency. She expressed her gratitude for the time spent together and added that she will continue to support the shining SM Entertainment in the future.
Debuting in the music industry at the young age of 13 in 2000, BoA was a pioneering figure who led K-pop's overseas expansion with the full support of SM Entertainment. She stood out as Asia's star, especially by becoming the first Korean artist to top the Oricon chart in the Japanese market, leaving numerous records in both domestic and international music scenes. In addition to her activities as an artist, she has served as a director of the agency, playing a symbolic role in SM Entertainment.
The news of BoA's exclusive contract ending, which has graced the music industry for an era, has drawn attention from both the industry and fans. It remains to be seen whether BoA will settle with a new agency or establish a one-person agency to pursue an independent path, as no specific details about her future plans have been revealed yet.
