Is this a sign of BoA's retirement and a halt to her social media activities?

The multi-talented singer and actress, BoA, surprised fans by erasing all her posts from her personal social media on the afternoon of April 9th.

BoA has been actively engaging with her fans by sharing updates about her new album, selfies, and snapshots of her daily life. However, now, her social media page is left with nothing but the stark message 'No posts'.

On April 6th, BoA sparked retirement rumors by posting, "Can I retire when my contract ends?" The following day, she clarified her statement, saying, "My contract lasts until December 31, 2025. Until then, I'll give my all as BoA, happily. Don't worry. My love."

Given that BoA has been with SM Entertainment since her debut, fans speculate that her departure from SM might naturally lead to her retirement from the entertainment world.

Recently, BoA opened up about her struggles with online hate comments, which has led fans to empathize with her hinted retirement.

On the 29th of last month, BoA hit back at trolls, saying, "If I don't manage, they curse me for not doing it, and if I do, they curse me for doing it. They tell me to gain weight because I've lost too much, and when I gain some, they call me a pig. I don't know your faces, but don't waste your life like that. Sorry, but I'm BoA."

Furthermore, on the 30th of the same month, in an interview she expressed, "Looking back, I was just busy and overwhelmed. I regret not being able to enjoy it more. What I want you to understand is that celebrities are also people."

She added, "I felt that many people view celebrities as targets for venting their anger. Malicious comments are definitely harmful. There are many things that idols shrink from the gaze that idols should not do this. Idols are also people, and I wish they had a heart to respect them as humans".

BBGIRLS’s Minyoung shared her honest thoughts on Yoojung’s departure and how it impacted the group.

On January 31, BBGIRLS appeared on The Seasons - Lee Young Ji’s Rainbow, where they performed their hit songs “We Ride” and “Rollin’,” receiving a warm reception from the audience.

During the show, MC Lee Young Ji asked, “I’ve heard that after ‘Rollin,’ when you made your comeback as a 3-member group, you had a lot of concerns. What was on your mind?” Minyoung responded thoughtfully, saying, “When we reformed as a 3-member group, I was worried that the empty spot might be felt, and that became a burden.”

Minyoung tried to ease the tension with a joke, saying, “We came out a year ago as ‘BBGIRLS,’ and if we think about it, I guess we are a 5th-generation group now.”

Lee Young Ji playfully added, “Wait a second, when you say 5th-generation idols, that includes BabyMonster, NewJeans, RIIZE, and BBGIRLS.” Eunji and Yuna quickly apologized, making everyone laugh.

Minyoung also joked, saying, “We’re a 5th-generation group, but we have no friends. How do we make friends?” She continued, “We can buy meals and drinks for our 5th-generation friends. We also have cars, so we can give rides. Let’s become close. Let’s do challenges for our new song together!”

BBGIRLS made a big announcement last April, revealing that they were starting a new chapter under their own agency, BBGIRLS Company, after leaving Warner Music Korea. They also confirmed that Yoojung had left the group, and Minyoung, Eunji, and Yuna would continue as a three-member group.

The members of BBGIRLS are now facing the pressure of carrying on as a smaller group, but they remain excited and ready for their future together.
