Her albums there have been selling fewer and fewer copies, and it's sad when you have the 14th best-selling album of the year with 113k sold (Girls on Top). At least in Japan, she'd be making more money through endorsements and such, even with her floppy singles. Still, I think it[s gotten bad enough for her over in Japan that Lee Soo Man wants to push her here.

Yea, I've heard about Koreans calling her a sell-out and such since she basically abandoned her native country for Japan but who could blame her since the Japanese market is where the money's at. I also agree that her career in Japan has plummeted to the point where Lee Soo Man wants the U.S. as BoA's main priority but they have no idea how to promote her.
