On the 23rd, Blackswan's Gabi attended the South Korea-Brazil state dinner hosted by President lee Jaemyung at the Youngbin Hall of the Blue House. The sight of her joining government officials and business leaders from both countries drew attention.
While greeting the guests, Brazilian President Lula showed special friendliness by kissing the back of Gabi's hand.
President Lula personally posted the video of him greeting Gabi on his Instagram. As of the morning of the 26th, the video had surpassed 1.2 million views. In addition, the video that President Lula posted using Blackswan's song 'Cat & Mouse' as the background music had also surpassed 5.6 million views, raising expectations of the song climbing up the music charts.
Blackswan's agency, DR Music, stated, "Both the artist and the company were surprised to receive a sudden invitation to such an unexpected event, but it would be a great honor if we can contribute to cultural exchange between South Korea and Brazil in the future. We are ready to attend whenever we are invited."
Gabi's spotlight moment was reportedly influenced by the fact that Brazil's first lady, Rosângela da Silva, is a big fan of K-pop. It is known that even before visiting South Korea, the First Lady had shown strong interest in K-pop artists. It is also said that she was very happy to learn that Blackswan's member Gabi is from Brazil. Before the President's official schedule began, she even shared a meal with Gabi in Gangnam, Seoul, on the 22nd.
The Brazilian First Lady also shared a video of her and Gabi eating Dubai Chewy Cookie on her personal Instagram account.
Blackswan is a global four-member K-pop girl group where all the members are foreigners. In 2024, they were appointed as the promotional ambassadors for the War Memorial of Korea in Yongsan.
Gabi was selected through DR Music's global audition in 2022, beating the odds of 4000 to 1. Born in Santa Catarina, Brazil, in 2002, she is currently the only Brazilian member actively promoting in a K-pop girl group.
