SEOUL, Aug. 3 (Yonhap) -- South Korean pop celebrity BoA will star in a Hollywood dance movie set to begin filming next year, her agency said Tuesday.
The 24-year-old singer has been cast in the lead role in a romantic dance film set in New York, and directed and written by Duane Adler, who also worked on the hit films "Save the Last Dance" and "Step Up", according to SM Entertainment, a South Korean talent agency.
