K-pop star BoA recently shared her visit to Tokyo, Japan, marking her first public appearance since parting ways with SM Entertainment three months ago after a 25-year-long association.

On the 6th, BoA posted two photos on her social media without any captions. In the pictures, she is seen wearing a black beanie and sunglasses, smiling while pointing at the Tokyo Tower. Fans responded with enthusiasm, commenting, "BoA looks so cute," and "It's great to see her happy."

Earlier, on the 3rd, BoA announced the establishment of her own agency, Bepal Entertainment, signaling a fresh start. The name 'Bepal' combines 'Boa' and 'pal,' reflecting her vision of creating a company where she and her fans can collaborate closely, fostering a structure that allows for intimate interaction between the artist and her audience.

BoA debuted in 2000 at the young age of 13, quickly becoming a first-generation idol with numerous hit songs. She spent 25 years with SM Entertainment until January when the company announced, "After extensive discussions, we have mutually agreed to conclude our partnership with BoA on December 31, 2025," paving the way for her solo endeavors.
