K-Pop Superstar BoA Deletes Every Post Off Of Instagram
BoA has wiped off her entire Instagram account, causing a stir.
The singer recently drew attention after hinting at her possible retirement. A few days ago, she posted a brief Instagram story, talking about her contract with SM Entertainment ending and her potentially stepping away from the limelight.
Now that my contract is ending, I can retire, right??
— BoA on Instagram
As a veteran idol who has been reigning the K-Pop industry for over two decades and is often credited as one of its first superstars to reach international fame, BoA’s cryptic Instagram story created a whirlwind of reactions in Korea.
Many speculated that this retirement announcement was triggered by the relentless hate comments the singer has received recently. BoA has been harshly criticized over her “changed” facial features ever since her appearance on Marry My Husband. She also directly addressed criticisms of her looks in a previous Instagram story.
It was only recently, presumably on April 10, KST, that fans noticed the idol had deleted every single post from her Instagram account.
This unexpected move has left netizens in shock, who believe that this was also due to the increasing malicious comments she keeps receiving on social media. Under a viral community post about this topic that has gained over 100,000 views at the time of writing, many came to BoA’s defense, asking her haters to back off.
- “BoA, we love you!!! You’re a truly precious and shining person! Please don’t forget that.”
- “Please leave BoA alone.”
- “She has been enduring many hate comments since her debut. Seeing her like this despite being someone who has handled it so well for over 20 years worries me. TT SM, what are you doing, really?”
- “Please protect BoA unnie TTTT. Protect her!! TT”
- “Is she having any issues with her agency…”
