BoA chops it all off

Her hair, we mean.

BoA fans may have noticed the pint-sized singer rocking a shorter hairstyle on the cover of her latest Japanese single “Bump Bump!” Well, if you were wondering if the chop was real or not rest assured, it is!

The singer showed up at the Tokyo Game Show 2009, sporting a shorter ‘do, confirming that she had indeed cut her trademark long locks in favor of a shorter style. BoA has had shorter styles for MVs the past (remember “Eien“), but she has never really cut her hair to achieve the look.

According to the singer, the shorter style was her idea. She had it cut because she wanted a change.

In other BoA news, the singer recently appeared at the Tokyo Game Show 2009 to perform her next Japanese single “White Wishes“. Why? Well, because it has been chosen as the theme song for Wii game “Tales of Graces“.

Now that we know the cut is for real, are you liking BoA’s new ‘do or do you wish she never made the chop in the first place?
