BLACKPINK Turns 10: An Anniversary Full of Emotions, Surprises & BLINK Moments

Ten years of BLACKPINK.

It honestly feels unreal.


On August 8, 2026, BLACKPINK officially celebrated their 10th debut anniversary, marking an incredible decade since Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa first debuted together.


And, of course, BLINKs had A LOT to talk about.


From the four members finally coming together for the anniversary celebration to emotional moments, viral fan reactions, unexpected drama, and Jisoo crying, the 10th anniversary became much more than just another milestone.

Let's look back at some of the biggest moments everyone is talking about.


All Four BLACKPINK Members Were Together Again

Perhaps the biggest news of the anniversary was simply seeing Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa together again.


There had been plenty of uncertainty surrounding the anniversary event, including questions about whether all four members would actually attend.

YG eventually confirmed that all four members would participate, putting an end to the speculation.

For BLINKs, seeing the four members reunite for such an important milestone was already emotional enough.


After ten years of music, world tours, solo careers, and countless memories, having all four together for their 10th anniversary was a special moment.



Jisoo's Tears Had Everyone Emotional

And then came that moment.



Jisoo was seen crying after the anniversary event, and fans immediately started wondering what had happened.

Considering how rarely fans see Jisoo cry publicly, the moment hit particularly hard.

Clips of Jisoo crying quickly spread across social media, with many BLINKs saying they had never seen her so emotional.

Naturally, fans started speculating about the reason behind her tears.


Was she emotional about BLACKPINK's 10 years together?

Was it the anniversary itself?

Was it everything that happened surrounding the event?

Jisoo later addressed the situation herself, explaining that she was simply overwhelmed by the feeling of having been together for 10 years.


She also asked fans not to read too much into her tears, emphasizing how much she loves BLACKPINK and BLINKs.

Honestly... we're not crying.

You're crying.


The Golf Club Incident That Shocked Fans

The anniversary celebrations also unfolded alongside an unexpected incident involving YG Entertainment's headquarters.


On August 6, a woman was arrested after allegedly approaching YG's headquarters with a golf club and repeatedly striking the building's glass entrance door. Police responded to the scene and investigated the incident.



The incident quickly became part of the wider conversation surrounding BLACKPINK's anniversary.

While it was completely unrelated to the celebratory event itself, the timing made it particularly noticeable online.


It was definitely one of those moments where BLINKs collectively went:

"...What is happening?"


10 Years of BLACKPINK

Despite all the drama and online discussions, the most important part of the anniversary is what it represents:

Ten years of BLACKPINK.


Since their debut in 2016, the group has gone from four rookie idols to one of the biggest girl groups in the world.

They've broken records, performed around the globe, topped charts, built an enormous international fandom, and established four successful individual careers.


And through all of that, the four members remain connected by the group that started it all.


The Anniversary Was Bittersweet for BLINKs

The 10th anniversary also felt emotional because BLACKPINK's group activities have changed significantly over the years.

Following the members' individual careers and separate agencies, fans have had plenty of questions about what BLACKPINK's future will look like.


The anniversary therefore carried a mixture of emotions:

Pride.

Nostalgia.

Happiness.


And, for some fans, a little bit of anxiety about what comes next.

During the anniversary event, the members also acknowledged communication issues surrounding the celebrations and apologized to fans who felt disappointed, while expressing their love for BLINKs.


BLACKPINK's 10-Year Legacy

It's difficult to talk about modern K-pop without talking about BLACKPINK.

From "BOOMBAYAH" and "WHISTLE" to "DDU-DU DDU-DU," "Kill This Love," "How You Like That,"and countless other hits, the group has become a defining name in global K-pop.


But their impact goes beyond music.


BLACKPINK helped make K-pop fashion, beauty, performances, and fandom culture even more visible around the world.

And ten years later, BLINKs are still here.


What's Next for BLACKPINK?

That's the question everyone wants answered.

The 10th anniversary naturally has fans wondering what the next chapter will look like for the group.

While each member continues to develop her own career, fans are still eager for more BLACKPINK music, performances, and group activities.


For now, however, the 10th anniversary gave BLINKs something incredibly valuable:

All four members together, celebrating the journey that started ten years ago.
