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".

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
