BoA
Having conquered the Japanese pop world, BoA is now aiming for the U.S. Billboard Chart. The young Korean singer will hold a press conference next Wednesday to announce her planned U.S. debut.

The slogan for the conference -- ¡°Best of Asia, Bring on America,¡± the initials of which are also BOA - reflects her confidence and ambition as an Asian diva.

SM Entertainment, her agency, said that in the conference BoA will talk about her future plans, presenting a blueprint for her work in the U.S. alongside foreign staff responsible for her Stateside promotion.

Last Friday SM Entertainment announced its decision to establish SM Entertainment USA.
