Recently, female singer Rosé (Blackpink) posted some photos on her social media account without captions.
In the photo, Rosé appears with her signature blonde hair, combined with an elegant black outfit, exuding a striking aura. This is also the outfit she wore at the fan meeting (meeting fans) celebrating Blackpink's 10th anniversary held on August 8. Notably, a photo also captures the moment Rosé used a paper towel to wipe away tears.
Blackpink debuted on August 8, 2016 and this year celebrates 10 years of operation. Before the anniversary, the group was once involved in controversy for being said to be "careless with fans".
In the context of increasingly dissatisfied fans because there is no information about any special events, YG Entertainment suddenly announced the organization of a small fan meeting of 40 people, just two days before the event took place.
During the preparation process, rumors that some members such as Rosé and Lisa may not attend also worried fans.
Finally, all 4 members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, Lisa attended the event. They conducted a livestream lasting about 11 minutes with activities to meet and interact with fans.
However, immediately after the event, information about gifts for fans including only 2 flowers and rice cakes spread, continuing to cause Blackpink to be criticized for lack of sincerity.
Then, on August 11, Rosé shared a letter on the official channel with the content: "Perhaps when entering the 10th anniversary that I myself have been looking forward to no less than Blink, I felt a lot of regret.
Not because I don't understand the feelings of the fans, but on the contrary, precisely because I sympathize with everyone, I need a little time to rearrange my thoughts and know where to start speaking. During that time, perhaps I made everyone feel more lonely, so my heart is really heavy”.
Rosé sincerely shared more: "For me, 10 years with Blink growing up, loving and accompanying each other has a very big meaning. What I want most is to celebrate with everyone.
Over the past 10 years, I have received so much love, and the fact that we have become a relationship where we can give love to each other makes me extremely grateful, touched and happy.
She said that she hoped August 8 would be a day when everyone could smile and be happy, but things did not go as she wanted, so she felt very guilty. She also apologized because she needed time to stabilize her emotions and could not speak out sooner.
After the letter, Rosé posting a photo of wiping away tears sparked speculation that the female singer cried because she had to endure a lot of pressure due to controversy surrounding the group's 10th anniversary event.
Previously, a video recording Jisoo crying on the way out of the event venue was also spread on social networks.
