On August 29, 2025, the world will be able to tune into Apple TV+ and binge KPOPPED, a new competition series unlike anything we’ve experienced before. Artists from around the world will collaborate to reimagine one of their chart-topping songs, performing before a live audience. It’s global legends and K-pop idols coming together to be crowned the winner by votes, and all of the excitement is happening in Seoul!
K-pop girl group BLACKSWAN (Korean: 블랙스완) is getting in on that excitement as participants. As a group born from the ashes of a legendary South Korean concept, the “swan” in their name could genuinely be replaced with a phoenix – they’ve reinvented the image of what it means to be a bonafide K-pop idol. As the first Korean-language major girl group with a full lineup made of non-Koreans, they intend to compete with global luminosity on their side.
In this interview, we connect with members Sriya and Nvee and hear their thoughts about KPOPPED and what fans should anticipate. Please enjoy!
