Blackpink fans express outrage over K-pop group's 10th anniversary activities
Ahead of K-pop girl group Blackpink’s 10th anniversary on Saturday (Aug 8), a growing number of fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment over the apparent lack of activities announced to mark the milestone.
As K-pop girl group Blackpink prepares to celebrate its 10th anniversary on Saturday, Aug 8, fans are expressing outrage over the lack of activities planned to commemorate the milestone. The quartet's agency, YG Entertainment, has announced only a meet-and-greet session in South Korea, limited to 40 participants, with no guarantee that all four members – Jisoo, Jennie, Rose and Lisa – will attend.
Fans have taken to social media, stating that they do not expect a comeback, world tour, or fan meeting, but simply a day to celebrate ten years spent together. They argue that other disbanded groups have reunited for such anniversaries, so why is it too difficult for Blackpink to do the same? One fan questioned the point of the celebration if only half of the members or even just one will be present.
While some fans are holding onto hope for more information on Saturday, YG Entertainment has not publicly confirmed the members' plans for the anniversary.
