The dancers part sounds exciting! I have been hoping for BoA to really dance again for her new album!

[bokachu]

SM town in Seoul will be on18 Aug. she might release the album in that period


but I want a July comeback, and seeing BoA doesn't like performing the same song 4 straight days/week  and every week in 2 months (she gets bored pretty fast. haha). She skipped music shows here and there during Hurricane venus too. BoA might go ahead and compete with Olympics. lol

^Doubt SM will let that happen.

Also, they don't want two artists promoting at the same time anymore. They did that with her and Shinee's comeback and Shawol's were P.O.ed when BoA "messed up" Shinee's triple crown on mnet music countdown or a show similar to that.

[Zanarkand]

^ I think it was on MuBank, since BoA didn't get to perform on MNet due to the ~issues~ SM was having with them at the time. lol

Butyeah, I guess we'll be waiting for an August comeback from her. Probably around, if not slightly later than HV was.
Still anticipating it, and DYING to see some serious choreography! ♥

I just listened to Suju's album. In my opinion, it is quite boring....and what's wrong with the album cover????

I hope BoA's comeback will be different from SuJu's comeback....No offense to SuJu's fans, but I just don't like their album this time round...

[Rika]

interesting.....
I hope BoA show any hint soon... too

SM is letting it happen actually
it's the same with f(x) and suju case right now. suju is making comeback after f(x) 2-3 weeks. BoA could be like that
doubt she can win against suju/ 2ne1 though. Shinee was an easier rival.lol
ELF this time will make sure suju got triple on Mubank;

Suju isn't promoting right now. Their comeback stage is set on the 5th. Comebacks can't get votes their first week, their first week of "awards" is their second week back. The 7th will be f(x)'s third week, that will most likely be Suju's Comeback stage on inki or m!net, so they won't be messing that up at all. After three weeks, I think the performer can't get any more wins.
I think in 2010, the rules were different for music shows. At that time, BoA had won in her first week back, that's why they overlapped and it got messy for SM. I think they automatically assumed Shinee would finish out with the triple crown and the next three weeks would be BoA's. Now, with the rules changed, they don't have to worry about artists being back to back and messing up awards (when really, I find the awards kind of 'meh' I mean, it's exciting to hear someone won for best that week, but fans hold it too high in my opinion). If it weren't for the olympics, BoA would probably be coming back right at the end of July, on the 26th (a day before the olympics is set) but now we'll have to wait, probably, till around the 16th of August. It's only logical for SM to wait. I wouldn't want her to compete with Suju (ELFs are crazy...I mean...CRAZY! Korean ELFs have gotten into fist fights with Korean Sones (SNSD fan club). I would rather they support (or be neutral) BoA, not be against her) let alone the 2012 Olympics. She's BoA, but, I am sorry, the olympics come once every 4 years. I don't get the hype because I don't really watch sports, but some people take time off and fly to where ever it is being held just to watch it!

[sweetsora]

fx probably will finish promote their new album in the near time, because japanese activity!!and fx fans know they can beat suju, so it's not a big deal if they're promote in the same time..for BoA, i heard her new album is big project with USA team, so SM is planning the right time to her comeback, they want BoA comeback is succesfull and memorable like in her 12th anniversary.moreover in july too much idol make their cb like SJ,2ne1,T-ara,Z-EA,B2ST,2PM etc.it's not like BoA can't compete with them, but the spotlight is surely more to idol group..that's just my opinion.and i think august is the safe choices for her.

i'm too excited for her comeback ^___^

my rxn exactly. I saw the cover + a few teaser photos and I knew immediately to avoid this album.

I'm actually glad SJ's CB is before BoA's. There's also 2NE1 and Sistar.
I find it strange & funny that SJ's new song isn't doing well on digital charts.

I doubt BoA will come back that soon. I'm guessing she'll drop her album digitally on a sunday sometime mid to late august since SM seems to release it digitally on a sunday to try and maximize  the chance of her winning the 2nd week and getting more sales in judging from the recent release patterns (SHINee,f(x) and SJ).
SJ will probably promote at least a month and a bit before we hear news of BoA.
So yeh, likelihood of news of BoA's album is late august from the looks of things and if SJ does a repackage, they may overlap in promotions.
And if SM keeps this pattern of one month per artist comeback kinda thing, then we'll probably hear another SM artist coming back sometime September since TVXQ mentioned they plan to make a comeback by years end, SNSD & SHINee plans to release something probably and SM will most likely to try and push out the EXO name out there for the rest of the year so we'll probs see another EXO release soon.

SM is jam packed is all i can say for the korean side of releases.

[2boamystar]

I really don't mind BoA coming back in August. August has always been BoA's month I'd prefer to see a good album rather than a seemingly-rushed album like SuJu's

[~+-+Vanora+-+~]

Just wondering...since this song which I assume is the title track is produced while working very closely with the USA team, could it be possible they are planning to release an English version of it?

Agree. At least they have more time to touch up any parts and make it more perfect!

According to this article, BoA will release her album this month
The article basically summaries solo singers are coming back lately like Younha, Dam bi

[기사] 윤하·보아·손담비..女 솔로 파워 보여줄까
윤하·보아·손담비..女 솔로 파워 보여줄까

아이돌 대거 컴백한 무대에 여성 솔로들 가세

(서울=연합뉴스) 이은정 기자 = 지난 1일 SBS TV '인기가요'에는 원더걸스, 애프터스쿨, 에프엑스, 인피니트, 달샤벳 등 아이돌 그룹들이 잇따라 등장했다.

출연진 약 20팀 중 여성 솔로 가수는 지나, 신인 주니엘 등 단 두명.

상반기에 백지영과 아이유, 아이비가 활약했고 박정현이 지난달 8집을 냈지만 그 수를 손에 꼽을 정도다. 매년 걸그룹의 양적인 팽창에 비하면 올해 여성 솔로는 신인 에일리가 떠올랐을 뿐 수년째 기근인 상황이다.

이러한 흐름에서 3일 윤하를 시작으로 보아, 손담비, 에일리 등 여성 솔로들이 7-8월 대거 컴백을 예고하고 있다.

특히 이 시기는 슈퍼주니어, 투애니원, 티아라 등 인기 그룹들의 컴백이 몰린 시기여서 오랜만에 출사표를 던진 이들의 성적에도 관심이 모아진다.

◇윤하.보아.손담비.에일리 = 전 소속사와의 법적 분쟁으로 1년6개월 간 휴지기였던 윤하는 3일 12곡을 채운 4집 '슈퍼소닉(Supersonic)'을 발표했다.

타이거JK, 조규찬, 존박, 박재범 등이 피처링과 음악 작업에 참여한 이번 음반은 팝, 힙합, 모던록 등 다양한 장르를 넘나들었다. 폭넓은 음악 스펙트럼을 보여준 윤하는 "그동안 내가 하고 싶었던 음악들이 모두 담겼다"고 소개했다.

★★
국내 가수 중 해외 첫 성공 모델이자 가창력과 댄스 실력을 겸비한 보아도 이달 새 음반을 발표할 예정이다.

SBS TV 'K팝 스타'에서 심사위원으로 활약했지만 국내에서 음반을 내는 건 2010년 6집 '허리케인 비너스(Hurricane Venus)' 이후 2년 만이다

소속사인 SM엔터테인먼트는 "'허리케인 비너스'처럼 보아의 카리스마가 느껴지는 댄스곡과 잔잔한 발라드 등 다양한 곡이 수록될 예정"이라며 "오래전부터 차근차근 준비했다"고 설명했다.

@BoACNFC @bokachu It's just article so the schedule can be moved! SJ is just came out and Olympic is just a few weeks left.Not a good timing

^I really don't want it to happen.

I want to be selfish and have BoA come out in August. I know BoA is probably pressing for a comeback, what with her twitter post like "waiting...and waiting" I think that she was supposed to be before Suju and they were planning Suju at the end of July but then they had forgotten about the Olympics. Suju's leader, Leeteuk, will be going into the army right after this album promotion is over (not sure about the repackage though...). So they most likely switched them, leaving BoA hanging. I bet she understood though.

If BoA comes back this month, I hate to say it, but she won't have a chance in anything guys. Awards wise, album sales wise, ratings wise. What with Suju and 2NE1 coming back this month alone, Kpop fans will be focusing on them. I feel like all the time and planning BoA and her team has gone through will be out shadowed by Suju and 2NE1. You can dislike what is thrown out in the Kpop world all you want, but there are so many ELFs and Blackjacks that will buy something just because Suju's/2NE1's face is on it. (much like a lot of us with BoA. However, there are far more of them then there are us now a days).

Like already stated, I am up for waiting. More time to perfect and prepare, even if BoA is already ready. We want her comeback from this two year hiatus to be worth it. Not put on the back burner by kpop fans.

Alas, if it does happen, all we can do is support, buy the album, and try showing her that amongst the many ELFs and Blackjacks, we're still here and still loving her.
