Group BLACKPINK will meet fans as a complete unit to mark their 10th debut anniversary.
YG Entertainment announced on the 7th that "after label verification, it was confirmed that all four members of BLACKPINK (Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa) will attend the 10th-anniversary Meet & Greet."
Although BLACKPINK is celebrating their 10th debut anniversary on August 8, fans expressed disappointment as there had been no major commemorative event announcements until recently. The only publicly shared news was the release of 'Heritage Collection' merchandise in collaboration with the National Museum of Korea.
In this context, YG suddenly announced an offline event via the fan platform Weverse on the 6th. However, criticism arose due to insufficient details, as the event time was only specified as "August 8 afternoon" and the location as "somewhere in Seoul."
Compounding the issue, participation was limited to just 40 people, and initial guidance stated that "only some members available due to schedules would attend," which sparked significant backlash from fans.
Furthermore, eligibility for entry was restricted to Weverse members who joined by the end of last month. This meant only fans maintaining paid memberships could participate, sparking controversy given the recent lull in Weverse activity among many fans.
As criticism spread, YG confirmed that all members would attend. Consequently, fan dissatisfaction is expected to subside significantly.
