Sriya, a member of the group BLACKSWAN, showcased her diverse charm and unique personality through a bnt pictorial.

■ From Retro Rockstar to a Dreamlike Aura

In the released photos, Sriya paired a bold red crop top with a leopard-print skirt, revealing the look of a confident, energetic retro rockstar. Then, in a dreamlike space bathed in blue and violet lighting, she exuded a soft and elegant aura, displaying an unexpected charm.

■ Dreaming of the K-pop Stage from India

Sriya, who grew up in India, loved dancing to music from a young age and nurtured her dream of becoming a singer. Watching K-pop artists' performances in India became a new goal for her, and with the dream of one day standing on that stage, she decided to come to Korea amid her family's concerns and support.

■ Courage and Strength Grown in an Unfamiliar Land

Life in Korea, where both the language and culture were unfamiliar, was by no means easy. In the early days, she had to adapt to a new environment without friends, but with the help of her agency and fellow members, she overcame challenges one by one. The confidence and never-give-up attitude she developed while growing up in India became a solid driving force in continuing her own path in unfamiliar surroundings.

While naturally embracing a new culture, Sriya also treasures her experiences and identity from India, where she was born and raised.

In an interview, Sriya shared her thoughts, saying, "I believe the courage and strength to keep moving toward my dream, even when walking a path different from others, made me who I am today."

The girl who once danced in India is now confidently taking the Korean stage as a member of BLACKSWAN, writing her own story.
