Images of Jisoo crying after the 10th anniversary event of Blackpink are attracting attention. Previously, the female singer repeatedly apologized to fans amidst controversies about the organization of the program.
After ending the fan meeting "Meet & Greet" held on August 8 at the National Museum of Korea in Seoul, Jisoo was caught emotionally returning. In the video shared on social networks, Blackpink's eldest sister received handwritten letters from fans after getting on the car. She took turns holding the letters and wiping away tears.
This moment quickly received a lot of attention, especially because Jisoo does not often cry in public. The image of Jisoo crying made fans even more touched when it happened right after a series of her apology moves related to Blackpink's 10th anniversary event.
Meet & Greet" was held on Blackpink's 10th anniversary of their debut. Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa all appeared at the program, interacting with 40 fans selected through a draw.
However, the announcement of the event made a part of fans dissatisfied. The program was announced just two days before it took place, while the number of attendees was quite limited compared to the scale of a special milestone such as 10 years of operation.
The initial announcement also stated that only members with suitable schedules would attend. This content was later adjusted, confirming that all 4 Blackpink members were present at the event.
Continuous changes have turned fans' expectations into disappointment. Many opinions say that the preparation and communication have not been commensurate with the meaning of the 10-year milestone, and at the same time question what plans the group has for the fan community on this special occasion.
During the argument, Jisoo was the active member to speak up. Before the event started, she had a short live broadcast and mentioned the reactions of fans. The female singer said that the misunderstandings may have stemmed from the communication process, and apologized to fans.
Jisoo then continued to write a rather long article on the platform of communicating with fans. The fact that she directly stood up to explain and apologize many times made a part of fans think that responsibility is being placed too much on one member.
On social networks, some fans expressed their desire for all 4 members to communicate directly with fans instead of just Jisoo speaking out. Some opinions suggest that Jisoo's continuous apology makes them feel sad, especially during the occasion that should be the time for Blackpink and fans to look back on their 10-year journey.
The question "Why only does Jisoo apologize?" therefore became one of the topics discussed after the event. Some fans affirmed that they would continue to support Blackpink but at the same time did not hide their disappointment with the way the incident was handled.
Meanwhile, "Meet & Greet" closed with the full appearance of 4 members. However, images of Jisoo wiping away tears after the show show that the controversy surrounding the event has not completely subsided.
