Girl idol group Black Swan will be making a comeback in August with a new member. Black Swan’s agency, DR Music, stated in a statement: “After the announcement of a global idol selection, there were approximately 4000 applications received.” DR Music plans to bring the last trainee candidates selected after the initial auditions to Korea and undergo intensive training.
Black Swan ceased operations after debuting last year, after former member Hyeme was accused of fraud. Hyemi left the group shortly after the news broke and announced her plans to leave the industry.
Black Swan has already garnered attention with its domestic travel YouTube series “B’LIT“. For the first season of “B’LIT”, co-produced by the Cultural Center of Belgium and the Brazilian Cultural Center in Korea, Black Swan members visited four cities, Gwangju, Gyeongju, Suwon, and Hongseong, to tour attractions and restaurants. Currently, Black Swan’s official channel has around 400,000 subscribers, 90% of whom are fans living abroad.
