Lenka was a trailblazer in terms of joining a k-pop band and has inspired the likes of Aria (Gauthami) to do the same.

Lenka claims she developed an interest in the genre after watching Korean music videos. The teen was selected from a global audition held by South Korean Music Label DR Music Entertainment in an effort to add members to the globally acclaimed multi-national girl group. Above: The Blackswan group.

Lenka’s musical training is Indian but all her efforts were directed towards joining the K-pop industry. She learnt Hindustani classical music to improve her vocals, ANI reported. She also learnt Korean and worked on her dancing and singing skills before fighting for her position in the group.
