#ROSE:
BLINK, I’ve had so much on my mind over the past few days that I couldn’t write this sooner.
I think I felt especially disappointed as we reached this 10th anniversary that I had been looking forward to just as much as BLINK. It wasn’t because I didn’t understand how the fans felt; rather, I think it took me some time to gather my thoughts and figure out what to say first because I could truly empathize with those feelings.
In the meantime, I feel heavy-hearted knowing that I may have made you feel even more alone. I wanted to leave this message now because I wanted to share at least a little of my sincere feelings with BLINK.
For me too, these 10 years of growing together with BLINK, cherishing one another, and walking this journey together mean so much to me. More than anything, I wanted us to celebrate together. That’s why I hoped that, at least on August 8, we could all have a time filled with smiles and happiness, but I’m filled with regret that things didn’t work out the way we had hoped.
I sincerely want to thank all the BLINKs who came to see us despite this hot weather. I was truly so happy to see you again after such a long time, and I also want to say that I’m sorry.
I’m so grateful and incredibly happy to the point of being overwhelmed that, over these 10 years, we have received so much love and have become people who can give and receive that love from one another. It was only after I came home alone that all of my emotions came rushing in at once. I’m sorry that this message came a little late because it took me some time to collect myself, and I couldn’t bring myself to speak about it easily.
It was supposed to be an anniversary for our BLACKPINK, who have worked so hard for 10 years, and for BLINK, who have given us so much love. We were all very disappointed, but once again, I sincerely want to congratulate us, and I hope we can continue to make many more beautiful memories together. I love you, BLINK. 🩷
#JISOO: Anyway, I rambled on and talked a lot, but even though it's late, I love you! hehe Happy 10th anniversary! I wanted to say hi in a bright way! Working for 10 years, wow! Liking each other for 10 years, wow!! I guess we re pretty amazing people, us! Thank you 💕
For those who have decided to stop supporting, I respect your decision and understand that everyone has their own reasons. Jisoo asked if there could still be a little room left in our hearts for her sincerity. But if that door is truly closed and there’s no room left, then maybe the kindest thing to do is simply walk away and not make her feel guilty for something that was never hers to carry.
As for me, I don’t need to be seen, acknowledged, or rewarded for being a fan. I’m perfectly happy supporting them from far away wherever I am, even if they never know I exist. I’ve never kept track of how much money I’ve spent, nor have I ever counted the time, effort, and energy I’ve poured into supporting them. I’ve never treated those as something they owe me back. I chose to give them freely because supporting them made me happy.
For me, the joy has always been this simple: watching someone I care about grow, create, and become an even better version of herself. That alone is more than enough.
So if you still have even a little room left in your heart, I hope you’ll stay because I believe there are still so many beautiful things ahead of us.
