Blackpink fans express outrage over K-pop group's 10th anniversary activities

As K-pop girl group Blackpink approaches its 10th anniversary on August 8, fans have expressed frustration over the perceived lack of commemorative activities. Despite some announcements such as a collaboration with the National Museum of Korea's merchandise brand and a limited meet-and-greet event in South Korea, many fans feel these efforts fall short of expectations. The meet-and-greet, limited to 40 attendees and potentially excluding some members due to scheduling conflicts, has sparked further discontent among fans who believe the group should honor their milestone by being fully present. Some fans reference disbanded groups like IOI, which recently reunited for their 10th anniversary, to highlight the contrast.
