On the eve of World Music Day, India’s first K-Pop star and Jharsuguda’s pride Sriya Lenka was felicitated by the Vedanta Limited here on Monday at a function held in its plant premises.
Company CEO Sunil Gupta said, “Sriya is a testament to the vast young talent pool of artists nurtured across Odisha.”
Sriya made it to headlines after she became the first-ever K-pop star from India. The 18-year-old girl, who has been chosen as the fifth member of the girl K-pop band ‘Blackswan’, 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 Blackswan which already has K-pop idols from Brazil and Belgium apart from South Korea.
