At the 10th anniversary, only 40 people attended the Gungyang Museum fan meeting? … BLACKPINK, “We apologize” for controversy over fans being treated coldly

Translated from Korean Read in Korean

Blackpink celebrated their 10th anniversary on August 8th by hosting a fan meetup at the National Center Museum of Korea, where 40 fans attended. The event, named "Meet & Greet," saw the members interact with their devoted fans. The museum, having previously hosted a listening party for Blackpink's mini-album "DEADLINE" in February, collaborated with the brand "Muzz" to create a heritage collection featuring seven items.

However, fans expressed dissatisfaction with the limited attendance and perceived insignificance of the commemorative event compared to its symbolic significance. Members expressed regret over the event, acknowledging the disappointment felt by fans and apologizing for any distress caused. Individuals such as Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa shared personal messages of gratitude and appreciation for their fans, vowing to continue supporting and growing together as Blackpink.
