* TearJerker: "Implode." You can tell it's going to be a heartbreaking song without even knowing the words...[[FromBadToWorse but once you do know what she's singing about it gets worse.]] Anybody who's ever unwillingly lost someone they still loved, whether it be through a breakup or from death will be hard-pressed not to be in tears by the end of the song.
* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: The video for "Hurricane Venus" features a feather-clad [=BoA=] entrapped in a cage while several men dressed in red-feathered jackets fly at her cage and seemingly attack it. Cut to the occasional non-sequitur dance segment and yeah, that's pretty much the vid.

* HollywoodHomely: In the video for "Who Are You", she goes on a date but ends up meeting the wrong guy due to a mixup and reacts as if she's horrified and runs away. He is just a normal-looking guy in NerdGlasses, so it's clearly meant to be a rather over-the-top reaction.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Quite a few of her songs. "Energetic" from her English album was pretty epic, and the entire ''Hurricane Venus'' album was kickass from start to finish. Her J-Pop album ''Identity'' also fits this trope as it featured a sound more akin to her recent electropop as opposed to the fluffier pop she usually is known for in Japan.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Korean fans will often send food to their idol when they begin the promotional cycles as they know that their faves are often worked to the bone with little time to eat or sleep in between performances. Music/{{BoA|Korea}} in particular was looking very gaunt when promotions for ''Hurricane Venus'' began and her fans picked up on that, sending food and good wishes to both her and her staff on her debut performance of popular Korean music show ''Music Bank''. If only most fans could be that supportive of their favorites.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Music/{{BoA|Korea}} came under a lot of fire with the release of her album ''My Name'' due to her attempt to mature her image and sound. Many fans commented that they disliked that her image was becoming DarkerAndEdgier and wanted her to remain "Little Baby Music/{{BoA|Korea}}." Needless to say, she was not pleased and quickly told fans and critics alike that she wasn't going to stop growing up just to appease them.

* FanonDiscontinuity: A lot of fans have disowned her English-speaking album, for various reasons. Some say that it was too generic and sounded like everything else on the radio at that point while others can't get over BoA singing about sex.
