‘PWAPF’: Fatou to drop solo music amid group concerts, Blackswan fans say 'finally'

Previously, fans of the K-pop group were heartbroken after the two Korean members Youngheun and Judy left Blackswan

The last few weeks have been a rollercoaster for Blackswan fans. The girl group piqued K-pop Twitter’s curiosity after it was announced that they would add two new members including the first Indian K-pop idol Sriya. While fans were excited, it was followed by the news of the only two Korean members Youngheun and Judy leaving the group. Fans were worried for Fatou who was close to them and was left with two new members and Leia who had allegedly tried to ruin her career. But things are looking up as we are getting Fatou’s solo music and concerts.

In early 2022, Leia’s fans had claimed that Fatou had bullied her. With the latter being the only active Black idol, fans pointed out the racist intent. Even Fatou slammed back by claiming that Leia was manipulative. The matter was never resolved with the label DR Music simply claiming cultural differences. However, things are looking up for Blackswan, as Fatou is set to drop her first solo mixtape 'PWAPF' which will be followed by a couple of group concerts in Europe and Japan.
