BoA revealed her exact ranking as a singer in SM Entertainment.

On the May 29th episode of KBS ‘Win Win’, BoA explained how she came to be a judge for SBS audition program ‘K-Pop Star’. “During a company dinner with CEO Lee Soo Man, he suggested me to be SM representative judge on ‘K-Pop Star’. At first I was a bit hesitant.”

“At SM, the sequence goes Yoo Young Jin, Kangta, and then me. I place third, so I was quite intimidated by the task”, she continued. “He felt that it would be best to have a female since everyone else on the panel was male.”
