BLACKPINK member Jennie issued an apology regarding controversy over a fan event for their 10th anniversary since debut.

On the 17th, via a fan communication platform, Jennie began by saying, "As we commemorate BLACKPINK's 10th anniversary, I have been deeply upset that I could not have a proper conversation with Blink (the fandom name)." She added, "I decided to post this after completing the last scheduled performance of the festival because I felt my message would be better conveyed then."

She continued, "Over the past 10 years, thanks to you all, we were gifted precious moments that can never be experienced again. Thanks to the love shared by Blink at every moment, we have all been able to grow and envision a brighter future. On this day meant only for celebration, we ended up leaving each other with regrets. From my perspective, there is nothing but an apology I cannot justify."

She further stated, "For us BLACKPINK, Blink has been our greatest blessing and love. I am sorry for showing immature behavior, and I want to express my sincere gratitude for the past 10 years. We will always cherish our bond in the deepest part of our hearts." She concluded, "I once again convey happiness and infinite gratitude to everyone. Thank you for celebrating our 10th anniversary and being with us."

She added, "I will not forget what I have learned and felt over this time, and I promise to become a Jennie who can continue to share love with you all in the future. I love Blink!"

BLACKPINK marked their 10th anniversary since debut on the 8th. Although they held a 'Meet & Greet' event at the National Museum of Korea in Seoul Yongsan-gu to commemorate the occasion, fans expressed disappointment even before the event began.

Their agency, YG Entertainment, only announced related information two days prior to the event, without disclosing specific times or locations. Furthermore, they initially stated that "only some members could attend due to scheduling conflicts," which further confused fans. Although it was later confirmed that all four members would participate, rumors and criticism regarding the event continued.

As a result, Jisoo apologized, saying, "I am well aware of the significance of our 10th anniversary and that it is an important day. However, there were issues in the communication process. I sincerely apologize." Following this, Rosé, Lisa, and Jennie also conveyed their apologies.

Below is the full text of Jennie's message.
