Rosé apologizes to BLACKPINK fans after 10th anniversary event criticism

Rosé of BLACKPINK has apologized to fans following criticism of the group's 10th anniversary event, expressing regret that the celebration may have left them feeling "even more alone." She posted the message Tuesday, three days after the August 8 event. In her lengthy statement, Rosé said she needed time to process her disappointment and apologized for the delayed response, while thanking fans who attended despite hot weather. Fellow member Jisoo also addressed fans, pushing back against online speculation about her emotional reaction during the event. The anniversary celebration at Seoul's National Museum of Korea drew criticism for its relatively small scale and lasted only about 30 minutes, despite all four members ultimately appearing. Rosé ended her message by looking ahead to creating more memories with the group's fandom, BLINK.
