BLACKPINK member Rosé expressed her apologies to fans regarding the recent 10th anniversary celebrations.
On August 11, Rosé took to her social media to say, "I think I felt a lot of disappointment as I awaited this 10th anniversary just like Blink (the fandom name)." She added, "It wasn't that I couldn't understand the fans' feelings; rather, I empathized with them, and it took me a while to figure out what to say."
She continued, "The time I spent growing and cherishing the past 10 years with Blink holds great significance for me, and my biggest wish was to celebrate together. I wanted August 8 to be a day where we all smiled and felt happy, but I feel deeply sorry that it didn't turn out that way."
Rosé also expressed her gratitude, saying, "I sincerely thank the many Blinks who came to see us despite the hot weather. It was truly nice to meet after a long time, and I want to say I’m sorry as well."
She reflected on the past decade, stating, "I am so grateful and overwhelmed with happiness that we have been able to love and support each other over these 10 years. This anniversary was for BLACKPINK, who has worked hard for a decade, and for the Blinks who have given us so much love. Although we all felt a lot of disappointment, I want to sincerely congratulate everyone once again and hope we can create many more wonderful memories together in the future."
BLACKPINK debuted on August 8, 2016, and celebrated their 10th anniversary on August 8 with a 'Meet and Greet' event at the National Museum of Korea in Yongsan, Seoul, attended by 40 fans. However, the event announcement was posted just two days prior, on August 6, leading to disappointment among the Blink fandom due to the limited number of attendees.
