Seoul, en.SERU.co.id —BLACKPINK members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa attended a special meet-and-greet in Seoul on the group’s 10th debut anniversary. The event, held in the afternoon (KST), brought the four members together with 40 selected fans. It marked their first full-group appearance for fans in South Korea since the group’s Deadline World Tour stop in 2025.
YG Entertainment’s earlier announcement of the limited event had drawn criticism from fans over its small scale and short notice. Speculation also circulated about possible member absences. The agency later confirmed that all four members would participate.
Apologies and Members’ Reactions
Jisoo addressed the situation directly through a lengthy message on Weverse and her social media platforms. She wrote:
“I think this anniversary is a day where I feel a great sense of regret. Over these 10 years, as BLACKPINK and as Jisoo, many things have happened, but I always wanted to appear only showing my good side and be someone who brings happiness during difficult times. Seeing so many BLINKs feeling sad has made my heart heavy.
I want to tell you that I have never forgotten that it is BLINK who made BLACKPINK shine this brightly. Thank you for celebrating our 10th anniversary with us, and once again, I apologize for causing such great disappointment. I always want to say thank you, and that I love you.
I know you must be very hurt… but I hope there is still a small space left where my small sincerity can reach you.”
Jennie shared an emotional message on her social media platforms focused on appreciation. She wrote:
“Because of you, I was able to achieve so many dreams. I have seen more of the world than I ever imagined, stood on stages I once only dreamed of, and met so many incredible people along the way. Thank you always, I love you.”
Rosé expressed gratitude for the shared journey with fellow members and fans.
Lisa conveyed her thanks to BLINKs through Bubble and social media, writing:
“Happy 10th anniversary! Thank you for being with me all this time. I love you, BLINK’s.”
