The public, especially the fans of the queen of K-pop wondered why singer, BoA decided to drop out as a judge in the program, "K-Pop Star." Finally, the producer of the show opened up the details behind BoA's choice to leave her position.
Producer Park Sung Hoon said, "After the finale of season 2, BoA was in the state of a dilemma. She talked it over with the staff and she revealed how she felt proud and satisfied for accomplishing her role as a judge for the past two years."
"Yet, before she is a judge, BoA is an active singer. As a singer, she had a lot of domestic and overseas schedules that were pushed back. I think she experienced some conflicting feelings for being unable to carry out those schedules. Her schedules increased to the point that she was unable to push them back, so after a lot of thought, she decided to leave."
"BoA has a lot of affection for the show, so it was difficult for her to leave. Although it's good for her to have success as the judge BoA, it is also important for singer BoA to have success as well."
As it was announced, Yoo Hee Yeol of Antenna Music will be replacing BoA as the new judge to be with Park Jin Young and Yang Hyun Suk on this third season.
