Recently, fans called out BLACKPINK for their lack of effort for the group’s upcoming 10th debut anniversary.
Although they understood their solo careers were important, they felt that it was because of the group that they were where they are now.
BLACKPINK Fiercely Bashed Ahead Of Group’s 10th Debut Anniversary
Not long after, they released an official notice regarding a meet and greet session to celebrate their 10th anniversary.
However, fans were even more angry at the details for the event.
“Date: August 8, 2026
Location: Somewhere in Seoul (Details to be revealed to winners)
Guide to enter: Only those who have a BLACKPINK Weverse Membership completed by July 31, 2026, can enter the raffle.
Number of winners: 40 people
Winner announcement: August 7, 2026 through Weverse”
They also emphasized that only members that were available would attend the event.
Notice: Only certain members will attend the event (those available according to their schedules).
As a result, netizens were shocked at how little affection the members seemed to have for the group.
- “This is basically just telling us to unstan them…”
- “Guys, it’s our 10-year anniversary…it’s not like we had any member changes…all four members need to attend…it’s not fair to the fans to say only members who are available can come.”
- “It’s shocking that they don’t have any affection towards the group…it’s not like we’re trying to bring ten people together, but four…”
- “Only members who are available LOL…so that means just one member can show up…it’s a group with only four members…they couldn’t adjust schedules for one day?”
- “You can tell they suddenly made this event…”
- “40 people for a fandom this size? Might as well just hold a live broadcast with the four members instead.”
- “Not even all members, but only the members who are available? Are you doing this on purpose?”
- “Only choosing 40 people with members who are available? And the event is the day after tomorrow?”
