As group BLACKPINK marks its 10th anniversary amid various controversies, member Jisoo was seen shedding tears in front of fans while returning home after the event.

BLACKPINK (Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, Lisa) spent a special time with 40 fans at the National Museum of Korea in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, on the 8th, holding a "Meet & Greet" to commemorate their 10th debut anniversary.

Prior to this event, controversy arose within the fandom. YG Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as YG) drew public backlash for announcing the event just two days before the 10th anniversary, limiting participation to only 40 people, and failing to disclose specific times and locations. Additionally, eligibility was restricted to paid members of the fandom platform, sparking further controversy over unfair access opportunities.

The controversy intensified when speculation emerged that some members might not attend the event commemorating BLACKPINK's 10th debut anniversary. In response, YG Entertainment later announced that all four members would participate in the event.

Following this, BLACKPINK members went live to soothe fans. Jisoo stated, "We originally wanted to meet with many people and were aware that today was an important 10th anniversary day. However, it seems there were communication issues. I feel sorry for that." She added, "I wanted everyone to have a happy, joyful, and pleasant time today, but I want to express my apologies and love to Blink who may feel disappointed. I hope you understand our hearts."

Jisoo once again conveyed her apologies to fans. She said, "Over the past 10 years, as BLACKPINK and as Jisoo, we have experienced many ups and downs, but I always wanted to be someone who shows only good sides and brings happiness during difficult moments. Many Blinks are upset, which weighs heavily on my heart. However, I want to remind everyone that it is the Blinks who made BLACKPINK shine so brilliantly." She continued, "Thank you for celebrating our 10th anniversary, and once again, I am sorry for causing such great disappointment. I always want to say thank you and love you. Although your feelings of sadness may be deep, I hope there remains space within them for small but sincere intentions."

Afterward, Jisoo was captured shedding tears while returning home following the offline event, drawing attention. The specific reason for her tears remains unknown, but given that she is known as a member who rarely cries, fans expressed concern and worry over this unusual display of emotion.

As BLACKPINK marks its 10th anniversary by spending meaningful moments with fans, attention has focused on the controversies that arose before and after the event, as well as Jisoo's tears. It remains to be seen what steps BLACKPINK will take moving forward in light of this milestone.
