Group BLACKPINK member Rosé spoke directly about the controversy surrounding the group's 10th-anniversary commemorative events.

On the 11th, Rosé stated via her personal SNS: "I had many thoughts over the past few days and couldn't write this post sooner. As I welcomed this 10th anniversary that I waited for just as much as BLINK (the fandom name), my sense of regret was great."

She continued, "Because I deeply empathize with fans' feelings, it took some time to organize what to say first. During that time, I feel I made you all feel even more lonely, and my heart is heavy," apologizing to the fans.

She added, "This 10-year journey of growing together with BLINK, being cherished by them, and walking side by side holds great meaning for me as well. My strongest desire was to celebrate together on that day. I hoped it would be a time when we all smiled and were happy, but since things didn't unfold as I wished, I am filled with apologies."

She further shared, "I am so grateful and overwhelmed with happiness that over these 10 years, we have received so much love and built a relationship where we can give and receive love to one another. Only when I returned home alone did all my emotions suddenly overwhelm me," adding, "I apologize for the delay in this post because it took time to compose myself, making it difficult to speak sooner."

Rosé said, "This was a commemorative day for our BLACKPINK, who worked hard over 10 years, and for BLINK, who gave us so much love. Although we all felt regretful, let's once again sincerely congratulate each other and continue building many more wonderful memories in the future."

Earlier, on the 8th, to mark their 10th anniversary, BLACKPINK held a MEET & GREET event at the National Museum of Korea in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. However, various controversies arose ahead of this fan event.

Their agency, YG Entertainment, only announced the event two days before it took place and did not disclose specific times or locations. Additionally, they informed that "only some members who could attend due to schedule constraints would participate," which further fueled fans' dissatisfaction.

Although it was later confirmed that all four members would attend, concerns about the event persisted. Critics pointed out that with only 40 invited guests and an event lasting just around 30 minutes, there was insufficient opportunity for meaningful interaction with fans.

Moreover, reports emerged that some areas were restricted and workshop schedules were altered during the event, causing inconvenience to citizens, leading to official complaints. It is understood that the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) is currently reviewing whether to conduct an investigation.

In this regard, member Jisoo apologized on the day of the event: "On this important 10th-anniversary day, there were issues in the communication process. I am sorry to BLINK who may feel disappointed." Later, footage surfaced showing Jisoo shedding tears while returning home after the event, which was deeply saddening.

BLINK, I had many thoughts over the past few days and couldn't write this post sooner..

As I welcomed this 10th anniversary that I waited for just as much as BLINK, I think my sense of regret was great.

It wasn't because I didn't understand fans' feelings; rather, I deeply empathized with them, so it took some time to organize what to say first.

During that time, I feel I made you all feel even more lonely, and my heart is heavy..

With the desire to convey my true feelings to BLINK as much as possible, I'm leaving this post now.

This 10-year journey of growing together with BLINK, being cherished by them, and walking side by side holds great meaning for me as well, and my strongest desire was to celebrate together.

That's why I hoped that day on August 8th would be a time when we all smiled and were happy, but since things didn't unfold as I wished, I am filled with apologies..

Even in this hot weather, many BLINK came to see us, and I truly want to say thank you sincerely. It was really wonderful to meet again after such a long time, and I also wanted to express my apologies.

Over these 10 years, the fact that we have received so much love and built a relationship where we can give and receive love to one another is something I am so grateful for and overwhelmed with happiness.

Only when I returned home alone did all my emotions suddenly overwhelm me. I apologize for the delay in this post because it took time to compose myself, making it difficult to speak sooner.

This was a commemorative day for our BLACKPINK, who worked hard over 10 years, and for BLINK, who gave us so much love. Although we all felt regretful, let's once again sincerely congratulate each other and continue building many more wonderful memories in the future.

I love you, BLINK.
