Blackpink 10th Anniversary Reunion Seoul: Quartet Apologizes to Disappointed Fans During Milestone Celebration
K-pop superstar group Blackpink officially marked their decade-long debut anniversary with an in-person fan meeting and global livestream in Seoul, while addressing fan disappointment over the limited scale of the celebrations.
On Saturday, August 8, 2026, members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa reunited in Seoul to meet with fans—exactly ten years after their official debut under YG Entertainment in 2016 with the single album Square One.
10th Anniversary Fan Event and Livestream Highlights
Following an intimate meet-and-greet with 40 selected fans at the National Museum of Korea in Seoul, all four members hosted a dedicated Weverse livestream to express their gratitude to global fans:
| Event & Milestone Parameter | Key Details & Highlights |
| Event Date | Saturday, August 8, 2026 |
| Members Attending | All 4 Members (Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, Lisa) |
| Physical Venue | National Museum of Korea (Yongsan District, Seoul) |
| Broadcasting Platform | Weverse Live Broadcast |
| Special Moments | Anniversary cake, flower bouquets, and reflection on a 10-year journey |
During the broadcast, member Jisoo reflected on the landmark day: “Today is the day Blackpink turns 10 years old. It’s an important day for us. Thank you.” Rosé added, “They say time flies when you’re having fun, and I think these 10 years really did. It doesn’t feel like it’s been 10 years.”
Apology for Short Notice and Limited Event Scale
Despite the celebration, the group directly acknowledged the dissatisfaction from fans regarding the event’s two-day advance announcement and restricted attendance capacity:
“We prepared a small event, but originally we wanted to see many more people,” Jisoo expressed during the livestream. “We knew this was an important day, but I think there was a problem with our communication. We’re sorry. I want to say I’m sorry and that I love the BLINKs who may have felt a little disappointed. I hope you understand how we feel.”
Individual Schedules and Future Group Activities
Since concluding their individual exclusive contracts with YG Entertainment in 2023 while maintaining group operational contracts, each member has managed separate agencies:
-
Jennie: OA Entertainment (Odd Atelier)
-
Jisoo: Blissoo
-
Lisa: LLOUD
-
Rosé: THEBLACKLABEL
Despite their separate individual endeavors, the Blackpink 10th Anniversary Reunion Seoul event reaffirmed the strong bond between Jennie, Jisoo, Rosé, Lisa, and their global fandom as they enter their second decade together.
