BoA and her groundbreaking achievements
This is BoA’s 24th year in the industry. She debuted at the tender age of 13 in 2000 and became a trailblazer in K-pop. Her groundbreaking achievements include being the first Korean artist to crack the Billboard 200, a chart that ranks the 200 most popular albums and EPs in the US.
BoA’s journey is marked by shrewd moves like SM’s localization strategy. This allowed her to crack Japan, the world’s second-largest music market. She became the first Korean act to top the Oricon charts with sales of over a million copies. BoA also made six consecutive appearances on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen, Japan’s top year-end music festival, earning her the title of “Asia’s Star.”
Her iconic status aside, BoA definitely has what it takes to be NCT Wish’s overall producer. BoA has always had a certain degree of creative control over her music. In 2012, she composed the title track of her seventh album Only One. When she released her eighth album Kiss My Lips three years later, fans were pleasantly surprised to find that she served as composer, lyricist, and producer for the 12-track collection.
Her success in Japan, Korea, and the US will prove invaluable in shaping NCT Wish. Additionally, her role in putting the group together will also be an asset. On the survival show NCT Universe: LASTART, she was a judge and training director alongside Super Junior’s Eunhyuk. Because of that, she knows the members and their skills quite well.
A dream come true for NCT Wish
Speaking of the members, Jaehee, Riku, Ryo, Sakuya, Sion, and Yushi bring a diverse array of talents to the group. Sion, born in 2002 in Korea, stands out with his excellent dancing and singing, complemented by his striking visuals. BoA herself deemed his singing “attractive” and “stable” on NCT Universe: LASTART. Meanwhile, she once declared Yushi her favorite trainee in the competition.

Finally, Ryo is a long-time fan of BoA’s, influenced by his mother and older sister. Ryo was overwhelmed when he met his idol during the show. He told her and the other judges that he felt like he was “going to pass out.” Debuting with BoA as his group’s overall producer is a dream come true for him.

This isn’t BoA’s first foray into producing for her juniors at SM Entertainment. In 2021, she played a pivotal role in the production of aespa’s cover of the S.E.S classic “Dreams Come True.” BoA helped them with their choreography, sound, and visuals.
NCT Wish’s first stage will take place at the Tokyo Dome on February 21st. Fans are excited to see the results of their hard work under BoA’s guidance. – K-Pop News Writer
