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.\n\nShe 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.
