Omigod you guys, it’s finally happening. JoongAng Ilbo reports that BoA has been secretly working on an English album and plans to debut in America as soon as later this year. The horror. The excitement.

According to JoongAng, BoA has already finished recording parts of the album in various countries. Orchestrating this secret project at the helm is, of course, Mr. Lee Soo-Man himself, who has been approaching several American labels and producers such as Peter Rafelson, who has worked with Madonna, in order to assess the viability of BoA breaking into the American market.

Why has she been keeping so quiet, while Rain, SE7EN and other Korean artists have been loudly drumming up their plans to venture into the American market? A source at SM Entertainment says they “didn’t want to create too much hype.” Very smart, considering the aforementioned Korean artists, such as Rain, have yet to produce any tangible results.

In March, BoA will have completed recording and further details regarding the new album will be announced. Also, in May, SM will announce more comprehensive future plans for BoA, including the label and the creative staffs involved. We will keep you updated as more information is released.
