As one of K-pop’s biggest global phenomena, BLACKPINK’s upcoming 10th anniversary should be a monumental celebration of their impact and journey. However, as this significant milestone draws closer, a palpable wave of disappointment is sweeping through the fandom. Fans have expressed frustration with what they perceive as the group’s lack of effort and preparation for the special day, leading to widespread concern among Blinks worldwide.
Viral Outcry and Global Disappointment
This brewing discontent reached a fever pitch online recently when an X (formerly Twitter) post written by a frustrated fan went viral, garnering almost three million views. The post, which candidly laid out fan concerns regarding the perceived lack of commemorative content or engagement, quickly ignited further discussions across social media platforms, highlighting the depth of the fandom’s sentiment.
블랙핑크님들아 제발 정신차리세요..
8,9주년도 아니고 10주년이에요…
다들 솔로로 잘나가서 그룹활동이 후순위인거 알겠는데,
블랙핑크 였기 때문이라는거 잊지마시길..
딴 그룹 10주년이라면 난리법석을 쳐요…
애초에 컴백,콘서트,팬미는 기대도 안햇는데 이건 좀 너무하시네…
어떻게…— 에너지소비 (@energysobi) August 3, 2026
“BLACKPINK, please come to your senses. It’s not your eighth or ninth, but your tenth debut anniversary. I understand that, because you are all successful in your solo careers, group activities are not your highest priority, but I hope you don’t forget that you are where you are because of BLACKPINK. Other groups that hit 10 years go all out…We don’t even ask for a comeback, concert, fan meeting, or anything like that, but this is too much. How can there be absolutely nothing?
We did sense something when you made comebacks with songs without choreography…but is just releasing a song and a music video actually a comeback? When there isn’t a single stage outfit? There is still time left on your group contract, so the least you can do is at least act like it’s business for your fans and celebrate the ten-year anniversary instead of posting old group photos on Instagram and calling it a day…”
International fans also expressed profound disappointment and even asked if K-Blinks, the domestic fanbase, would consider sending protest trucks regarding this matter. This suggestion underscores the seriousness of the situation, as protest trucks are a well-known, direct method for K-pop fans to voice grievances to entertainment agencies.
Weverse Renewal Adds Fuel to the Fire
As if they weren’t mad already, the situation took another turn for the worse when fans were left furious after receiving notices to renew their Weverse memberships. This timing struck many as particularly tone-deaf, suggesting a focus on recurring revenue rather than addressing the core issues of fan engagement and anniversary preparations that had already caused significant unrest.
그리고 YG 병신들아.
아티스트가 1년째 위버스 안오고있는데 10주년이라고 위버스 멤버십 가입하라고 하면 누가하냐?
병신같은 헛소리하지말고 10주년이나 제대로 챙기셈;; https://t.co/PGNzD0Xnxq— 에너지소비 (@energysobi) August 3, 2026
YG, you b*stards. Why are you telling us to renew our Weverse memberships for the tenth debut anniversary when the artists themselves haven’t even come on Weverse for the past year? Stop talking nonsense and just prepare something for the ten-year anniversary.
The depth of the fandom’s concern became undeniably clear when fans agreed that this was a huge issue if even K-Blinks, known for their direct and often influential interactions with agencies, were getting mad. The collective anger from both international and domestic fans signals a critical moment for BLACKPINK and YG Entertainment.

The overwhelming sentiment among Blinks is that the 10th anniversary is a significant milestone that deserves proper acknowledgment and celebration, reflective of the group’s global impact and the unwavering loyalty of their fanbase. This widespread frustration highlights the urgent need for a response from the agency to reassure fans and address their concerns before the momentous occasion.
