SM Entertainment Artists Including TVXQ, EXO, Girl’s Generation Congratulate BoA On 20th Debut Anniversary

SM Entertainment artists collaborated on a video project to congratulate South Korean singer BoA on her 20th anniversary since debut.

On Tuesday, SM artists from all generations including H.O.T.’s Kangta, TVXQ, Super Junior, Girl’s Generation, TraxX, SHINee, EXO, Red Velvet, NCT, WayV, and more got together to create a special video project called "You’re Still My No.1" for the singer’s 20th anniversary.

The video begins with K-pop duo TVXQ congratulating her and talking about their experience with the singer.

"Congratulations on your 20th anniversary BoA! Time really flies! You’ve always been such a great role model to younger artists and such an awesome friend to me. I’m looking forward to your 30th anniversary as well," said U-know Yunho, TVXQ’s leader.

"I remember the moment, watching your debut performance when I was very little. I sincerely congratulate you on your 20th anniversary! BoA and BoA’s fans, I hope you don’t stop at this 20th anniversary, but continue much longer and forever together," added TVXQ’s Max Changmin.

The other SM artists talked about BoA’s influence in the industry and how she became an inspiring role model for them. Several artists sang "You’re still my No.1," the lyrics from BoA’s hit song "No. 1" while congratulating her and wishing her a prosperous career ahead. Many of them also expressed their love for the singer.

BoA debuted under SM as a solo singer on Aug. 25, 2000, when she was 13-years-old. She has been working with the agency ever since.

The 33-year-old singer took to Instagram and YouTube to convey a message of gratitude to her fans on Monday.

"Hi. It’s BoA, who has turned 20 years old as a singer. It seems like it was just yesterday when I started [my career] because I liked to sing and dance.. Now it’s already my 20th debut anniversary.. Time goes by so fast.. In some ways.. it feels like I’ve just become an adult as an artist," she mentioned in the post, according to Soompi.

"New things await us in the future! Please support and believe in me like always until the day I can sing onstage! To my special Jumping BoA [BoA’s fandom name] who have been with me for 20 years! Thank you, and I love you!," she added.
