Angry BoA Fans Send Protest Truck to SM's Building

The aftermath continues after singer BoA posted a post hinting at her retirement. Some fans staged a truck protest in front of BoA's agency.

On the 8th, articles and photos were posted on the online community saying that they were protesting trucks in front of the office building of BoA's agency SM Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as "SM").

The photo showed an electronic display board of a truck. The electronic display board said, "What did SM do while BoA's career and efforts were attacked and her heart was torn apart? Family is the only thing you look for when you need it?" "Director is the best for comments, no concern for bad comments, they neglect the work of an artist of 26 years?" and "Protect the artist from the bottom of your heart, not using the artist. Wake up, SM," "BoA, set up a complaint team."

Fans are sending their complaints directly to the agency.

Recently, BoA has shared her grievances related to malicious comments several times. BoA, who suffered from malicious comments related to her appearance and acting skills during her special appearance on tvN's drama "Marry My Husband," posted a comment on her SNS saying that everyone is attacking every action.

Since then, BoA has posted a message suggesting her retirement on the 6th, saying, "Can I retire now when the contract is over?" Fans point out that BoA has been suffering from reckless comments and ridicule for a long time, but her agency did not actively respond.

Meanwhile, BoA debuted at age 13 in 2000. She was the youngest Korean singer to win the K-pop Grand Prize in 2002, and became the first Korean singer to top the Oricon Chart in Japan, and is considered a leader in K-pop who pioneered the Korean Wave. She left behind numerous hit songs including "No. 1," "Valenti," and "My Name."
