[INSTIZ] BoA: I really wanted to say this, but SM has no systematic structure at all.
BoA: If I were a producer, I would debut with a trainee who works hard.
– But what I really want to say is… it was a system that was not systematic at all.
Boa: They say it's a systematic system, but in reality it's confusing…!
Boa: I also want to experience a truly systematic system.

1. BoA refers to the early days of the industry, the first generation of K-pop, when the system was less developed than it is now.
> No, you have to watch the video to understand. When BoA debuted, the company heavily promoted the idea of a 'systematic training' process to produce artists, using BoA as an example, and said that anyone could reach their level if they received the same training. However, contrary to media reports, the system was not as systematic as it was claimed. For example, the story that BoA learned Japanese from an announcer was exaggerated. They also claimed that they spent billions of dollars on her debut, but in fact, most of that money was used to establish the company's incorporation, not on training.
2. But weren't all entertainment agencies like that back then…?
3. Considering BoA's age at the time, it's really impressive…
4. This is a story from the 90sㅋㅋㅋㅋ큐ㅜㅜ After BoA practiced, the training method came out…
5. But BoA was truly a genius. Compared to her peers who debuted at the same age (15 in Korean age), she was perfect in both dancing and singing.
6. By the way, I saw a documentary that said BoA took several classes and learned English and Japanese. Are you talking about a different incident?
7. But all startups are like that..
8. Whenever I see Boa, I feel like there is a lot of frustration that can't be resolved. He has a lot of grudges left.
9. I wonder what time it is for you now.
10. How much has BoA achieved for SM? Can't you even complain about this? It's not like I'm not a competent person.
11. Are all of you SM employees? You guys are crazy about SM.
