BoA, the kpop singer who has trained for stardom since she was 11 years old, is taking a new turn in her career. With the recent release of her Hollywood dance movie, "Make Your Move 3D," and her recently confirmed role in a new drama "Hope for Dating," the singing sensation is now focusing her attention on acting.

The new two-part drama will co-star Daniel Choi, who played a policeman-turned-hacker in the cyber-detective drama "Phantom" and as a musician in the musical drama "The Musical."

In "Hope for Dating," BoA will play a woman who has had no luck with dating, always winding up with the wrong guy. Her co-star Daniel Choi will be a dating agency expert who gives her advice and may be able to turn her love life around. "Hope for Dating" will finish filming in August. No broadcast date has yet been set.

The drama production's director Lee Eun Jin was impressed when BoA came to read for the part and said he fell for the singer's passion and hard work ethic. You can see the full story at KdramaStars.com
