BLACKPINK Marks 10th Debut Anniversary with Fan Meeting

K-pop superstars BLACKPINK marked their 10th debut anniversary on August 8, 2026, with a special fan event. The quartet, comprising Jennie, Rosé, Jisoo, and Lisa, gathered at the National Museum of Korea in Seoul to celebrate the milestone with their dedicated fanbase, known as 'BLINK'.

Speculation had circulated about whether all members would be able to attend the anniversary event together due to their individual international schedules. However, the members successfully coordinated their commitments to ensure a full group appearance, honoring their promise to fans. This reunion is particularly significant as each member currently operates under different labels for their solo endeavors: Jennie with 'Odd Atelier', Lisa with 'LLOUD', Jisoo with 'Blissoo', and Rosé with 'TheBlackLabel'.

The chosen venue, the National Museum of Korea, holds a special connection for BLACKPINK. The group previously held a listening party for their third mini-album 'DEADLINE' there in February and participated as audio guides for key exhibits. The 'Meet & Greet' event itself was an intimate affair, with only 40 fans selected through a pre-event lottery gaining entry. This limited scale led to some disappointment among fans who felt the event's size did not fully match the symbolic significance of the 10th anniversary.

BLACKPINK debuted on August 8, 2016, with the hit songs 'Whistle' and 'Boombayah'. In 2023, they renewed their group activity contracts with YG Entertainment, allowing them to pursue individual projects through their respective agencies while maintaining their group identity. The anniversary celebration underscores their enduring popularity and commitment to their fans, even amidst diverse solo careers.
