Hi, Blackpink.
So… happy anniversary to us, I guess. What a peaceful and completely normal way to celebrate ten years together.
A few days ago, we were preparing our tissues, planning cute anniversary posts, and expecting a celebration. A few days later, we're apparently running a full-scale investigation, condemning YG, holding debates, protesting, closing accounts and reopening them again, and emotionally reconsidering our entire existence.
Honestly, what a time to be alive.
But maybe the chaos says exactly how much we care.
We wanted this anniversary to feel special. Not because Blackpink owes us perfection, but because ten years with these four girls means a lot of somethings.
We've laughed, cried, screamed, waited, complained, celebrated, defended, questioned, streamed, voted, and somehow survived being Blinks for an entire decade.
We've grown alongside you. Your songs became the soundtrack to our lives, your achievements became our celebrations, and your ridiculous little moments became memories we still carry.
Somewhere along the way, Blackpink stopped being just a group we loved. You became part of our lives.
That's why these past few days hurt. That's why we cared so much.
I can be disappointed and still love you. I can criticize what happens around you and still support you. My love for Blackpink was never built on perfection. It was built on ten years of memories.
So today, I don't want the arguments to be what I remember.
I want to remember the four girls who made me laugh, cry, scream at my screen, and somehow turn ordinary moments into memories that stayed with me.
Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, Lisa — thank you. For the songs, the stages, the laughter, the tears, the chaos, the long waits, and ten unforgettable years.
I don't know what the future holds, but I'll always be grateful I was here for these ten years.
You were loved loudly, supported endlessly, and celebrated ridiculously.
I love you, my girls. Always.
BLACKPINK’s anniversary messages!
JISOO: Thank you for celebrating BLACKPINK's 10th anniversary!
Thanks to BLINKs for the past 10 years, we were able to keep growing and gain the courage to try new things. I love you♡
BLACKPINK ♡ BLINK
LISA: Blink~ 10 years have already passed♡ Thank you from the bottom of my heart for always being with us for such a long time—10 years! We were able to come this far because BLINKs were there, through both happy and difficult moments!
♡ I love you, Blinks so, so much ♡
ROSÉ: Blink~
How did we end up being together for 10 years already?! I really can't believe it...
I still vividly remember the day we first met, Blinks, and it was so awkward... From debuting at 19 until today at 29, I think we were able to achieve the countless dreams a singer can have because you looked kindly upon every single step of our growth, even if we were clumsy, and cheered us on. It is hard to even express this in words.
Thank you for enjoying our journey with us, cheering for us, and celebrating with us!♡ Let's continue to grow as BLINKs and BLACKPINK, supporting each other in health and happiness just like this.
JENNIE: To. BLINK
It has already been 10 years. Every moment we laughed, cried, and grew together is a truly precious memory to me.
Thank you so much for always cheering for me.
[TRANS] #Jisoo: After the January concert, even though the members saw each other some times, Blinks probably haven’t seen us in a long time. So it’s been a while since you guys have seen us gather together. We came back together, all dressed up, so we could show you guys.
