She was the very first Korean entertainer that has launched the amount of a million records in Japan with her album “LISTEN TO MY HEART” in 2003. During her career, she reveals the cross-cultural possibilities of art performance, and won the“Most Influential Artist Award” and “Favorite Artist Korea”. This research is focused on the art and graphic design of BoA album cover released in Japan and Korea. Also, look into design aspects and the cultural difference of Pop Music in East Asia. Case study will be used in this article as the formation of research methodology for analysis in various design elements and emphasis on colour and visual style. According to the result of aggregation and discussion, the colour tone is mostly harmony in Japan. In contrary, the colour chosen in Korea is instead a contrast combination. It is important to indicate the diversity of intercultural design perspective when we are facing into a generation of globalization as a designer.
