BLACKSWAN’s Fatou Goes Viral For Her Reaction To Kevin Leonardo’s Explicit “Nair Video,” Launching A Conversation About Boundaries With Idols
BLACKSWAN Fatou‘s reaction to an explicit viral video recently launched a discussion about boundaries with K-Pop idols.
In early July, a content creator named Kevin Leonardo shared a video on his YouTube account about using the hair removal product Nair. Leonardo’s content is centered around his experience as a gay man, and he often shares instructional content that can be a little shocking for a random viewer.
While there are many tutorial videos on how to use Nair, Leonardo’s video was focused on using it on a more private part of the body — his anus.
While this could have also not been too outside of the ordinary, the content creator went into full detail, flashing his anus at the camera more than once in what many called a jump scare. (NOTE: Leonardo’s uncensored private parts appear in less than two seconds when watching the video. )
During a recent live stream, fans told Fatou to watch the video, and she reacted very strongly. After a screen recording was shared on TikTok, it went viral, with many fans finding her reaction funny.

Others were upset that Fatou was told to watch something like that without warning, which could be considered sexual harassment. While it could be regarded as more acceptable to show content like that to someone you actually know, fans recommending something like that to idols would not be the same thing.
Not only is this sexual harassment , a lot of you keep proving Alexa’s point to be true about the weird way y’all treat idols who speak English https://t.co/Jma4OWJOVb

Some referenced a statement from solo idol AleXa where she said that fans treat English-speaking idols differently, something true in several ways.
For example, while KARD‘s BM is open about all topics, many questions asked to him by fans in past live streams would be considered inappropriate topics to discuss with a stranger, let alone a K-Pop idol you do not personally know.
NOOO OMG BM said he lost his v card at 16 or 17 😂 Yo who asked this??? A bunch of the comments got nasty on there pic.twitter.com/XU1wPhNT6t
