BLACKSWAN : The K-pop Girl Group That Are Not Korean (???)

Today is October 6, 2023. I just discovered this group. I put words like "foreigners' and "K-pop" in the search box and out popped BLACKSWAN.  This group consists of four (4) lovely ladies and none of them are Korean. “There is Gabi from Brazil;NVee from the United States; Sriya from India; and Senegal-bornFatou, who now lives in Belgium.” These are not people with Korean ancestry who happen to live in a country outside of Korea. These young women are NOT Korean. Yet, they sing in Korean and in English, just like all of the popular K-pop groups.

Will they succeed? Uuuummm … I can't predict.

BLACK SWAN

But I can say that when I was growing up in the USA:

  • I remember a group called “The 5th Dimension”. Do you know what was so different about them? They were BLACK but sounded WHITE! Their music was being played on white radio stations. It was such a shock when people saw them in person.

All of these artists were popular and successful. To what do they owe their success? Hey! They made good music!

I can't predict the success of Blackswan. There is an article published by CNN, and some criticize this group by “accusing them of cultural appropriation”.

Cultural appropriation? You got to be kidding me! Might as well argue the K-pop groups culturally appropriated their music and dancing styles from Westerners and that means none of the K-pop groups should succeed! Just saying.
