BoA appeared as a guest on the October 30 broadcast of the radio show “Park So Hyun’s Love Game,” where she talked about the dance for her comeback title “Woman,” choreographed by Kyle Hanagami.

Namely, the opening walk that she executes upside down, as she is held up by her dancers.

“At first, I thought the choreography video was upside down,” said BoA. “The woman was walking. Eventually, I thought, ‘It’s not me they want doing that, is it?’ When I looked, the dancer [walking upside-down] was doing my part in the choreography. Even if it were the case that the choreographer [created the move not knowing me], I wondered how they could ask me to do something like this.”

For our new digital cover series Takeover, we chose five of our favorite women who're making a significant impact on the music industry right now. Tiffany Young, the breakout singer of K-pop group Girls Generation, is carving out a major name for herself stateside. Today, she'll be taking over PAPER with guest edited pieces and answering fans' questions on our Instagram.

Tiffany Young is feeling liberated these days, and she wouldn't mind a drink — clear or dark. When we first spoke with the 29-year-old singer over the summer, she was days away from releasing her English-language solo debut, "Over My Skin," a funky blast of brassy pop sass.

We fangirled for Britney, dug deep into her obsession with RuPaul's Drag Race — Miss Vanjie stickers currently cover her notebook — and waxed nostalgic about her decade-long run as a member of Girls' Generation, otherwise known in South Korea as The Nation's Girl Group.

At the time, Tiffany expressed a sincere hope that her fans would enjoy her new musical journey, and that was that; effectively the calm before the solo storm.

“It’s the first case for a Korean novel to be produced into an American TV series,” said KL Management. “This is especially meaningful because it’s been 10 years since the book was first published in October 2008.

In case you missed it TOP is back on Instagram after almost two years. He didn't use any caption or tags. Shortly after his two posts, Han Seohee had something to say and she doesn't seem very amused.


"Don't you think of coming back. How dare you crawl back out? I heard you've been telling everyone around you that I got money from you. That I'm a kkot-baem? How much did you blab about that that even I've heard of it? Stop talking about me. A least talk after you've actually given me money. You're rich. I was going to stay quiet because it seemed like you were staying on the down low but I think I'm going to speak up now that I see you uploading on Instagram ㅎㅎ. I won't lie like you did and call you an XX-baem though. You know, right? How many of your company scandals that I've hidden? I think I'm so nice. Journalists are always badgering me, 'Seohee-ssi, just expose it all', 'let's please expose them', but I rejected them because I was scared of you guys but I should've just done it then. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Why do you think I went there on that day? You know, right? And please act your age. Stop acting like you're such an artist. You're just an ajusshi."
