The artist visited Korea in 2003 to promote her fourth studio album “In the Zone.” That same year, she performed with singer BoA for SBS’ Christmas special, “BoA and Britney Spears Special.”
Spears debuted with her first single “Baby One More Time” in 1998, which shot straight to the top spot on music charts around the world.
On Saturday, the American artist nabbed the first-ever Icon award at the 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards, in recognition of her contribution to pop culture, along with her music that is loved by generations of Radio Disney fans.
