"Eat You Up" Promotional Activities | Album Releases in 2009

UPDATE (10/23/08):

Taken from suejinners @ BoAjjang Forums

"BoA and even former employees were not able to hide their surprise," a SM representative said after they were notified of how BoA managed to make her way up onto Amazon and iTunes charts. "It's a good start because we didn't publicly release the song nor do promotions. It will accelerate her growth from being Asia's Diva to a Worldwide Diva."

Next week BoA will go around TV stations in the U.S. to start full-scale promotional activities. She will go on local radio stations, tv programs and visit music stores to promote and increase awareness .

SM revealed that they will be taking highlights from the Eat You up mv by director Cha Eun Taek and showing them on large screens in New York and Los Angeles. The promotional video will be shown every 2 minutes at New York's Broadway and will continously be shown at LA's Wilshire Boulevard from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The large screen promotions will continue for the next 3 months revealing other various clips in sequential order.

Plans on releasing her first album early next year and having a national tour have not changed. The title track off her album Look Who's Talking, which is a strong song but is not by the same team that made Eat You Up. The song has been completed along with the choreography.

BoA's debut song is entitled 'Eat You Up' which was produced by Bloodshy & Avant. Flo-rida is scheduled to participate in the remixed version of 'Eat You Up.' There were two different music videos for 'Eat You Up' which were directed by Diane Martel and Cha Eun Taek. The music videos were choreographed by Flii Styiz and Misha Gabriel. Flii Styiz has worked with many artists like Chris Brown, Usher, Michael Jackson and Beyoncé. Max Gousse will be her manger in America and has worked with Beyoncé, Usher and Justin Timberlake.

On October 7th, both music videos of 'Eat You Up' will be revealed online. On November 11th, BoA's management is planning to officially release the single to the public in stores and online through Amazon, Myspace, iTunes, and even ringtone downloads. Her first album's details were also mentioned, and the album's title song is entitled `LOOK WHO`S TAILING'. Her first album is scheduled to release in 2009 and she will be promoting the album with appearances on TV shows, radio programs, and at clubs. After her promotion period, she is planning to do a nationwide concert tour.

Tune in tomorrow to see who said that BoA will be a 'hot icon' along with what SM is without BoA.

Misha Gabriel Collaboration

No more doubts, BoA is well on her way towards an American debut. BoA has been collaborating with Hip Hop choreographer "Misha Gabriel". The dancers who will be featured in BoA's first US Music Video includes the talented Kenny Wormald, Mickael Riccio and Trent Dickens (Who are all part of Misha Gabriel's dance team) . There's no official announcement on where the video was shot but rumors are that it was partially shot in Seoul (End of August) and partially shot in New York.

Guest inyeon.

Maybe BoA will surprise us with her english. You never know....Se7en surprised us a lot, so maybe BoA can to. XD although the american debut is very....o_o I still have faith in her. I will totally support her, I just dont think USA will.

But if she has cool famous producers and dancers, I see her having a big chance. Its so nerveracking. ;_; I hope she doesnt go slutty on us. (cause you know the US. <_<) "I'm Gonna Eat You Up"? o_o Thats hecka lame, at least change it to "Eat you up" or somthing ._.

Gah. Good luck to Boa....Its gonna be kinda hard. ;_;

I hope she becomes huge and wow us with her English, like what SE7EN did.

What I do hope is that they won't push back her albums ALL the time like SE7EN. TT___TT
