India's First K-pop star Sriya Lenka backs armed forces as K-pop Community rallies against misinformation

MUMBAI: Sriya Lenka, India’s trailblazing K-pop star, has voiced her strong support for the Indian Armed Forces amid rising tensions with Pakistan. The 23-year-old singer and dancer from Odisha, who is a member of the globally popular South Korean girl group Blackswan, took to Instagram to salute the courage of Indian soldiers, writing, “Proud of our Protecters, Jai Hind” on her Stories.

Blackswan, celebrated as K-pop’s first non-Korean girl group, shot to global recognition with their 2023 debut album That Karma. While the band performs mainly in Korean with English influences, each member brings a distinct cultural identity—Sriya’s fusion of Indian classical dance and modern moves has helped her shine in the international K-pop arena.

Her message has resonated well beyond K-pop circles, striking a patriotic chord with the wider Indian online community. In the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, Indian social media has been flooded with solidarity messages, including a notable wave from K-pop fans expressing unwavering support for the nation’s forces.

Amid a surge of misinformation online, the Indian K-pop fan community has mobilised swiftly, transforming their platforms into hubs of solidarity and factual updates. Their unified effort is proving to be an unexpected but powerful force in countering false narratives and boosting morale on digital fronts.
