With only a few days left, on August 8, 2026, Blackpink will celebrate the 10-year anniversary of operation. However, instead of eagerly waiting for special projects, many fans expressed disappointment when saying that the group and management company have not prepared adequately for this meaningful occasion.
Recently, a post on the X platform (Twitter) attracted nearly 3 million views when frankly expressing regret about Blackpink's way of welcoming an important milestone.
Fans believe that 10 years is a memorable milestone in the career of any music group, but so far there has been no announcement about commemorative activities for fans.
In the article, this person shared that they understand that the members are all busy with their personal careers and have all achieved many successes in solo activities. However, fans hope that the members do not forget that Blackpink is the foundation that brought all four to success as they are now.
I understand that group activities are no longer the top priority, but this is a 10-year anniversary, not the 8th or 9th year. We don't ask for comebacks, concerts or fan meetings. We just hope there is something really meaningful to celebrate together, but currently there is almost nothing at all," the post wrote.
Many fans also recalled Blackpink's recent comeback and said that promotional activities are still quite limited.
According to them, the group only releases one song and MV but does not have a performance stage, no promotional costumes or interaction activities with fans as expected.
The post quickly received agreement from a large number of international fans. Many opinions suggest that other K-pop groups often prepare special albums, concerts, fan meetings, TV shows or content to thank fans when celebrating 10 years of operation. Therefore, Blackpink's still quite quietness makes many people feel disappointed.
The incident further angered the fan community when YG Entertainment announced the extension of membership benefits for Weverse (a platform connecting idols and fans) on the occasion of its 10th anniversary.
Some fans questioned this decision, saying that Blackpink members had not been active on the Weverse platform for a long time.
Many comments criticized YG Entertainment for prioritizing activities related to members but not yet announcing any notable anniversary plans for the group's special milestone.
Some people even called on the company to soon prepare fan appreciation projects instead of just focusing on fee programs.
Up to now, YG Entertainment and Blackpink members have not yet made an official announcement about activities on the occasion of their 10-year debut.
Therefore, many fans still hope that the company will soon bring a surprise gift to mark the decade of this famous girl group.
