After hours of intense criticism and growing speculation, YG Entertainment has officially confirmed that all four members of BLACKPINK will attend the group’s upcoming 10th anniversary fan event, putting an end to rumors that only part of the group would appear.
The announcement comes after BLACKPINK found itself at the center of a major controversy surrounding the celebration of one of the biggest milestones in the group’s career. Fans had already expressed disappointment over what they believed was a lack of preparation for the 10th anniversary, but frustration escalated even further when details of the fan meeting were released.
The official notice stated that only the members who were available according to their schedules would participate in the event. That single line immediately sparked widespread concern among fans, many of whom questioned why the agency could not guarantee the attendance of all four members for such an important occasion.
As the discussion spread across social media and online communities, rumors quickly emerged claiming that only three members would attend the anniversary event. The speculation fueled even more criticism toward YG Entertainment, with many fans arguing that celebrating BLACKPINK’s first decade without the complete lineup would be unacceptable.
The backlash intensified as fans pointed out that the group consists of only four members, making it difficult to understand why the company would leave attendance uncertain for an event commemorating such a historic anniversary. Many described the wording of the announcement as careless and unnecessary, while others questioned whether the celebration had been organized at the last minute.
Facing mounting criticism, YG Entertainment has now stepped in to clarify the situation.
According to a company representative, “After checking with management, we confirm that all four members will attend.”
The statement officially dismisses the rumors suggesting that one or more members would miss the event and confirms that Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa will all be present for the celebration.
The clarification has been welcomed by many fans, who viewed the confirmation as the minimum expectation for a milestone as significant as BLACKPINK’s 10th anniversary. For supporters, seeing all four members together remains the most meaningful part of the celebration after years of balancing increasingly busy solo careers.
Although YG’s latest statement has resolved the biggest concern surrounding member attendance, discussions among fans have not disappeared entirely. Some continue to criticize the overall planning of the event, including its limited number of attendees and the short notice given before the celebration.
Nevertheless, the question dominating online conversations has finally been answered. Despite the rumors and confusion that surrounded the announcement, BLACKPINK’s 10th anniversary event will feature all four members together, bringing an end to one of the biggest controversies leading up to the group’s historic celebration.
