Rosé apologizes to BLACKPINK fans after 10th anniversary event draws criticism

BLACKPINK member Rosé has extended her heartfelt apologies to loyal fans following the group's 10th anniversary celebration, which left many feeling even more isolated. Her message came after fellow member Jisoo also addressed fans amidst criticism regarding the scale and organization of the highly anticipated event. Rosé posted a detailed statement on her official channel on Tuesday, three days after BLACKPINK held the commemorative event.

She revealed that she was unable to write the apology sooner due to being preoccupied with her thoughts. Rosé expressed that she felt a significant disappointment in marking their 10th anniversary, not because she didn't understand how her fans felt, but because she could empathize with their emotions and needed time to find the right words.

She sincerely apologized for taking the time to address the controversy, stating that she felt heavyhearted because she believed her actions may have left her fans feeling even more alone during this trying period.

The 10 years Rosé has spent growing up alongside BLACKPINK's dedicated fanbase, known as BLINK, holds immense significance for her.
