BLACKPINK expressed their gratitude to fans through a fan meeting and a live broadcast celebrating their 10th debut anniversary.

They also expressed regret over the recent controversy regarding alleged mistreatment of fans prior to the event.

The members held a live broadcast to commemorate their 10th debut anniversary through a fan communication platform last Saturday.

It was the first time in a while that all four members gathered in one place.

Member Jisoo said, "It is the day BLACKPINK turns 10," calling it a significant day for them, while Rosé added, "They say time flies when you're having fun, and it feels like 10 years went by in a flash."

On this day, the members met fans in person at the National Museum of Korea to celebrate their 10th anniversary.

Previously, a controversy arose over alleged fan mistreatment after it was revealed that the event was announced just two days in advance and was a small-scale gathering inviting only 40 fans.

Jisoo said, "We wanted to meet with many fans, but it seems there was an issue with communication," adding, "We are sorry."
