BoA

Boa Kwan (yes, that's her surname). Korea's and Japan's equivalent of Britney Spears. (For my money, I think she looks tons more gorgeous.)

Barely 19 and already 15 best-selling albums (in addition to 25 red hot singles!) under her belt, this inimitable pop phenom is set to take Asia by storm - id est, if she hasn't already done so.
