BLACKPINK's 10th anniversary angers fans! Lisa breaks silence with apology: 'I am just as sad'

K-pop superstar Lisa of BLACKPINK has issued an apology to fans following criticism over the group's hastily organized 10th-anniversary celebrations. The event, which took place on August 8th, drew ire from fans who felt it was poorly managed and initially rumored that Lisa would not attend.

“

As you know, there's been a lot of news online, and it's made me very sad. I regret that things have turned out this way. I can't imagine how sad you are, because I am just as sad as you are.

Lisa addressed the situation in a message shared on a paid fan community platform, which was subsequently leaked online. She expressed her sadness over the online discussions and regretted how the events unfolded. "I can't imagine how sad you are, because I am just as sad as you are," Lisa conveyed to her fans, known as Blinks.

The anniversary, meant to be a special occasion for shared celebration, became a source of disappointment for many. Lisa emphasized that she wasn't seeking to make excuses but wanted to honor the love and connection shared between the group and their fans. She expressed gratitude for their togetherness and hoped for the continuation of their bond.

“

The 10th anniversary was supposed to be a special moment for everyone to celebrate together. I'm not here to make excuses or argue, but I want to be proud of the love and connection between us. Because I am grateful that we can be together, and I hope this love can continue in the future.

BLACKPINK's 10th anniversary activities included a fan meeting and a live broadcast. Although Lisa was initially listed as not attending, she ultimately appeared at the event before quickly departing South Korea. This brief appearance highlighted her commitment despite the perceived shortcomings in the event's planning, which left many fans feeling let down.
