[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] BoA, who appeared on 'Wook Talk,' recalled the difficult times she faced due to past malicious comments.


On the 19th, SBS's 'Lee Dong Wook Wants to Talk' (hereafter 'Wook Talk') aired an episode featuring BoA, who celebrated her 20th anniversary since debut this year.


The broadcast revealed footage of BoA's early debut days and interview videos.


BoA felt embarrassed by her youthful appearance but soon said, "It's embarrassing to see now, but I was happy back then."


In particular, BoA revealed that she suffered from malicious comments after saying in an interview during her childhood that "If I appear on TV, I don't think I can live like a 13-year-old." She added, "I have many regrets," and "You can't catch two rabbits at once. I try to catch at least one," which led to criticism.


She recalled, "A young kid saying something like that received a lot of backlash. Since then, I have never mentioned 'catching two rabbits' with my own mouth."


In another video aired three months later, BoA said, "I am trying hard to look young," and "I am young."



Regarding this, BoA confessed, "I genuinely tried to look young and pretended not to know during the interview. How much hurt must a young child have endured, for a young kid to say something like that, I feel sorry," she opened up.
