Famous Korean girl group Blackpink (Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, Lisa) celebrates 10 years of debut on August 8.
Fans were expected to have a special activity on this occasion, but the management company YG Entertainment only organized a small-scale and quite simple fan meeting.
Previously, information also appeared that some members would not attend. Although all 4 members were present in the end, the incident afterwards still made a large number of Blink (Blackpink's fandom name) dissatisfied and questioned whether the company really valued this event, or what problems had occurred during the preparation process.
Even, many viewers believe that Blackpink members have a solid personal career, so they are no longer too enthusiastic about group activities. Many opinions speculate that Blackpink may soon disband.
While the controversy has not subsided, many netizens have dug up Rosé's statement in an interview in January this year, when she was asked: "What if one of the members doesn't want to stay in Blackpink?". Her answer once again attracted attention.
At that time, Rosé participated in the American podcast program "Call her daddy" hosted by Alex Cooper. The host asked: "Have you ever discussed what it would be like if one of you didn't want to stay in Blackpink?
Rosé replied that she did not remember whether all 4 people had a specific discussion about this issue or not. However, she said: "If at that time one of us felt that it was not the right choice (to continue staying in Blackpink), then we would all understand. Just like any relationship, if someone is not ready, that should be respected. We are always ready to do so.
Rosé also said that because Blackpink only has 4 members, "we cannot ignore any decision that a person makes at any stage of their life", and believe that each decision made is the right choice for each person.
Rosé's these statements are once again becoming a topic of discussion for many fans.
In the context of Blink's recent extreme dissatisfaction, continuously criticizing the company and artists for "lack of enthusiasm", the controversy is becoming increasingly fierce.
After that, Rosé posted a long post on the fan community, admitting that she also felt that this meeting "has many regrets" and apologized to fans many times.
