BoA to come back with new album

Korea’s pop diva BoA will resume her career in Korea with a new album to be released on Aug. 5, her management agency said on Thursday. 

Ahead of her official comeback, SM Entertainment has released a photo of BoA showing a feminine yet powerful image.

BoA had focused her music activities overseas rather than in Korea. After a music career in Japan, she recently advanced into the U.S. music industry. The year 2010 marks the 10th anniversary of her debut in 2000 when she was 13.

“Coming back to stages in Korea makes me nervous and happy. Please expect much more developed music and performance,” the K-pop star said in a statement. She will begin album promotion to coincide with the release of the new songs.
