BoA Shows How SM Is Treating Artists For 20th Anniversary Trip

Singer BoA recently updated fans with photos of SM Entertainment’s trip to Hawaii for their 20th anniversary conference.

The singer uploaded the pictures on her Instagram account, revealing her traveling environment to be the “Kosmo Suite.†BoA took two photos, a selfie of herself as well as her seating area on the Korean Air flight. 

“Kosmo Suite†is a premium first class seating option that allows separate seating areas for personal space, as well as seats that lie flat at 180 degrees. Staff and artists from SM Entertainment traveled to Hawaii for a workshop in honor of the company’s 20th anniversary. Artists that traveled include BoA, Super Junior, Girls’ Generation, EXO, f(x), and many more.

*An earlier version of this article misstated SHINee as one of the attending artists.

They waited 20 years for this

[okey dokey]

That looks nice

[ZahxEXO]

Tiffany would've uploaded videos of everyone eating.

 

Aye but I'm gonna be happy with what we get. Thanks BoA.

and here I am eating frozen oreos

[MegRhythm]

That kosmo suite wouldn't even fit everyone who's going. Probably just those high rank staffs or artists with fair amount of sm shares

i don't see any other companies throwing vacation for all their staff...?

[blue7kaoru]

A lot of people here are complaining abt this Hawaii vacation but let's be honest and admit that SM did well. Their artists/staff are getting to relax, have fun and all that in luxury. No other company ever did this!!

BoA is a SM executive, most people wouldn't be travelling like that

They went to Hawaii for the 20th anniversary, so they literally waited 20 years for this

[Byakugan]

They rented the whole plane for this ofcourse the executives are in First Class. Most of the artists and other high positon people will be in business class since there's only like 10-12 first class seats anyways. and the rest are economy

so true. they can definitely have fun and relax with those sasaengs following them around and take picture of whatever they do. they are definitely enjoying it in luxury when sitting in business class is pretty normal for an artist even rookies do.

sometimes i think SM has money enough to buy the earth

Agree.  It's a lot of people traveling and organizing.  There are bound to have a few snags   Most negative comments are exaggerated.  And "workshop" doesn't necessarily mean "work".  It's probably like lecture and/or similar to workshops like they have at Kcon for fans or something. 

 

looks like they are having fun

 

[nightmare]

people still believe this is a holiday instead of a publicity stunt LOL

True... that's look like business class... easily $3000-$3500 per pax...

 

I could be wrong but i doubt SM wants to spend for 200+ pax for the 'workshop'

[blue7kaoru]

Y'all people are exaggerating. There were no saesangs, those are only fans. Plus the boys and girls look like they're having fun. I don't understand why you'll have to be bitter and pressed abt everything..

SM can do no good in some people's eyes lol. Everyone looks like they're enjoying this which is the most important. Also like you said workshop doesn't mean working, some people can't seem to understand that.

people still believe this is a holiday instead of a publicity stunt LOL

 

They're doing both; resting and having fun while promoting their new business ...

they have some scheduled activities but they also have free time to enjoy themselves. there's many photos of them going swimming and shopping etc.

haha i wouldn't call someone who invade an artist privacy a normal fan. and they are in hawaii, you expect them to stay in the hotel room? even if they have some outdoor activities, they can't fully enjoy themselves because they knew some inappropriate photos might get taken and leaked without them knowing

Who's butt is that O.O

Lol. you mean at the bottom of the photo?  I think it's just a tourist or maybe a friend of whoever shot the picture.

[everypart]

It would have been better if they regularly paid their artists fairly instead of treating them to luxury once every 20 years but hey... swimming pools!1111 Business class!111 SM ain't so bad after all!11

[papparazi11]

Rv and nct still in economy class though
