BLACKPINK’s beloved visual and talented actress, Jisoo, recently took to an online fan platform to address the emotional moments and subsequent speculation surrounding her tears at the group’s highly anticipated 10th-anniversary fan event. In a heartfelt message to BLINKs, Jisoo urged fans to put an end to baseless rumors and instead focus on the joy and significance of their decade-long journey together.
“I think many people were surprised because I cried yesterday,” Jisoo candidly shared on Sunday, referencing the anniversary celebration. Dispelling any robotic idol myths, she added with relatable honesty, “I am a human too. Believe it or not, I’m not a robot.” Her confession resonated deeply with fans, acknowledging the immense pressure and the delicate balance idols often face in public appearances.
“I Am a Human Too”: Navigating Public Emotion
Jisoo shed light on the complex atmosphere surrounding the special event, explaining the inherent difficulty in public communication, especially for high-profile figures. “Because finding the boundary between words I want to say, words I can say, words I am allowed to say and words I don’t necessarily have to say is difficult, it seems it was hard for everyone to speak openly yesterday,” she elaborated. This insightful statement offers a rare glimpse into the guarded nature of idol interactions, often subject to external misinterpretation.

Dispelling Discord: BLACKPINK’s Undeniable Bond
Firmly pushing back against any whispers of discord or tension within the global sensation, Jisoo emphatically reiterated her deep affection for her fellow members. “I just wanted to say that all four of us love everyone so, so, so much,” she declared, emphasizing the profound value the BLACKPINK members place on both their dedicated BLINKs and their unbreakable sisterhood.
She actively discouraged fans from over-analyzing her emotional display. “I hope you don’t read too much into my tears. I just want to say I was moved by a mix of emotions about us being together for 10 years,” she clarified. Jisoo also thoughtfully addressed the unfairness of judging sincerity based solely on visible tears: “Since I cried for the first time in a place where I could be seen, was I the one who was most sincere and upset this time? I don’t think so. Just because I didn’t cry during the tour doesn’t mean I wasn’t moved.” Her words underscored that emotions manifest differently for everyone, and a public display of tears doesn’t automatically equate to a deeper or more sincere feeling.
The meet-and-greet event, held at the prestigious National Museum of Korea in Seoul, was intended as a grand celebration of BLACKPINK’s 10th anniversary. However, prior to Jisoo’s clarifying message, the event itself had faced some criticism, with fans expressing disappointment over reported organizational issues and earlier rumors of potential member absences – rumors that were ultimately proven false as all four members attended. Jisoo’s tears, initially viewed through the lens of lingering fan frustration, quickly fueled online speculation about internal group dynamics. Her direct explanation served as a crucial intervention to dispel these potential misinterpretations.
A Call for Celebration: Moving Forward as BLINKs

In a poignant closing statement, Jisoo urged the fandom to shift their focus from negative speculation to celebrating their incredible milestone. “Misunderstandings and disappointment arise from not talking,” she wisely noted, before delivering her powerful plea: “It might be frustrating, but on our 10th anniversary that we should have celebrated with each other, I strongly hope that no more negative talk or endless speculation surface.” Her message is a clear and heartfelt call for BLINKs to cherish the group’s unity and monumental achievements, moving forward together in positivity and celebration of a decade of BLACKPINK.
