    Agence France-Prsse showed lots of interest in ¡§Asia's Star-BoA¡¨ who had a performance for APEC leaders on Nov. 18th.

    AFP's news report datelined Busan on 17th said, ¡§19-year-old Korean singer BoA will perform for the world leaders including President George W. Bush of the US. She will give a fresh recess to Asia-Pacific summits who would be tired with the whole day's work.¡¨

    ¡§BoA is known as Britney Spears of Korea,¡¨ added AFP. ¡§She has a number of fans in Korea and Japan, who is a bridge to connect the culture of both nations.¡¨

    ¡§Her songs like 'Valenti' and 'Listen to my heart' were very popular as well as she is a model of Gap, Sisheido, Honda and others," reported AFP.¡¨
    Additionally, AFP mentioned that BoA was awarded as ¡§The most influential Asian artist¡¨ and ¡§The best artist from Korea¡¨ at MTV Asia Awards last year. Once again it is an opportunity to realize the position of BoA in the world market.

    BoA performed ¡§No.1¡¨ at ¡§Dinner & Culture Performance for APEC summits¡¨ held at BEXCO in Pusan.

    Yeah I agree BoA is like Britney, but BoA has better vocals imo. And if anyone watched the BoA/Britney 2003 christmas special. Watching that, BoA dances better and they both obviously lip sync.
