Blackpink members confirm anniversary appearance, hours after woman smashes YG building doors with golf club
In a statement to South Korean news outlets, YG Entertainment confirmed that all four members of Blackpink will attend the K-pop group's 10th anniversary meet-and-greet event on Saturday (Aug 8).
YG Entertainment has officially announced that all four members of the K-pop group Blackpink will participate in the group's 10th anniversary meet-and-greet event scheduled for Saturday, August 8. The statement was made through a representative of the South Korean entertainment label to various South Korean news outlets. A spokesperson for YG Entertainment affirmed, "After consulting with the label, we have confirmed that all four members will indeed attend."
This news arrives shortly after member Rose made the first official confirmation of her attendance at the event. The meet-and-greet, previously met with criticism from fans, is now set to proceed as planned. The event, initially limited to 40 participants, will feature select Blackpink members based on their availability. Fans expressed discontent with the limited nature of the event and perceived lack of commemorative activities for the milestone.
On Friday, Rose's agency, The Black Label, clarified that all necessary arrangements were made to ensure Rose's presence at the event. They emphasized the importance of the occasion and urged fans to refrain from excessive speculation and criticism based on inaccurate online information. The agency's statement followed the arrest of a woman, believed to be in her 20s, who smashed doors of the YG Entertainment building using a golf club.
Security personnel apprehended the woman, and the police are currently investigating the incident, its motive, and circumstances.
