I think BoA is still living from all these Japanese money sh*t those numbers are unbelievable!

I mean it was easier back then to sell albums than today but these numbers weren't easy in the physical album generation too.

But we shouldn't forget that the contracts weren't the same as today. Many idols didn't see much money and SM was known for having slave contracts.

But she is a SM director now, right? I think she will be rich her whole life.

i`m sure SM got a really big cut, but BoA already said a bunch of times she made a lot of money back then and TVXQ were driving crazy expensive sports cars back in the day, but after the law suit the fans of the other 3 always acted like they were poor when with SM i`m pretty sure the slave contract part was aimed more at how long the contract was

It's no surprise knowing how impactful her career is in Japan back then

SM was CRAZY about wanting to dominate the Japanese market and they have BoA and TVXQ doing so

Yet, it is crazy that a SOLOIST pull of these numbers she really werk her ass off back in the days

people in the Boa vs IU thread need to see this

And Busker Busker still living off just one song, that too from Korea itself.

The question in that thread was who had the higher peak, BoA's Japanese earnings don't help prove that,

Unless it is about who has the higher peak in Japanese market, then of course it is BoA.

Rich bitch

Congrats, BoA!
