BLACKSWAN is back with new music!

The group will drop their EP album ‘Roll Up’ on July 31 at 6 PM.

The title track "Roll Up" is a high-energy dance song that shows off the members' girl crush concept with powerful performances and a strong beat.

The song was produced by Rob Grimaldi, Alina Smith, Lauren Dyson, A Wright, Alex Schwoebel, Rence, and Matty Michna. These producers have worked with big names like BTS on "Butter" and BLACKPINK on "Love to Hate Me."

The lyrics were written by the talented music team 153/Joombas members bay, Jeon Se Hee, and Yoon.

The choreography for "Roll Up" was done by world-class choreographer KANY, who has worked with Beyoncé, VIVIZ and SHINee. The music video was directed by Lee Sa Gang from the ZANYBROS team.

BLACKSWAN's agency, DR Entertainment, is preparing for a full promotion of the album. CEO Yoon Deung Ryong expressed confidence, saying, “What was once a question mark about being a K-POP girl group made up entirely of foreigners without any Koreans at debut will now rise as an exclamation mark.”

BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
