BoA, who has made her debut at the age of 13 and is set to turn 29 this year, have shared on how she have turned into actress.

BoA said she had no plans on being an actress when she was handed the opportunity to star in 'Make Your Move', stating, "When I was busy with my singing career, the director came all the way to Japan and handed me a script. He saw my video on YouTube and thought that it would be good if I pay the lead role of Aya. I was also suspicious and thought, 'Why a movie suddenly?' I have a lot of similarities with the character and her love for dancing, so I accepted it to show a lot of things through the movie. It started out as a dance movie, but it opened my eyes to acting... It's difficult to act in Korean, so I honestly felt pressured moreso because all of the lines were in English. Not only that, I had to have a command of the language like a native speaker."

She stated her comparison in singing and acting, "As a singer, my body is comfortable, but since the fans' expectations are high, my heart is not at ease. However, as an actress, my heart is at ease, but my body is uncomfortable... Nothing in life is easy. As a solo singer, I try to stand out on stage as much as possible. But in acting, more than one person are working together so being natural is best. That's the positive and negative of acting... Of course, the title 'actress BoA' is still strange and awkward to me. But if the staff on set call me, 'Our actress nim~,' I feel good."

BoA got to star in her first drama KBS 2TV's 'Hope for Dating' and have made a cameo appearance in the film 'Venus Talk' last year. As of th moment, she is filming her upcoming movie 'Big Match'.
