BLACKPINK has become the talk of the town and the center of a heated debate regarding their latest musical release, “DEADLINE.” Several rumors stated that BLACKPINK is just fulfilling their group activities for their contract, instead of genuinely releasing music for their devoted fans, better known as BLINKS.
As the rumors rose like foam, BLACKPINK’s members had to call it out and confirm their attendance at the group’s 10th anniversary fan event. Less than 24 hours before the event took place, YG Entertainment and Xports News reported what’s on their minds:

“After checking with the label, we confirmed that all four members will attend.”
The statement followed earlier reports and rumors suggesting that BLACKPINK’s Lisa will be absent from the event. In addition, fans are drawing mixed reactions to the gathering, which will be held in Seoul on the afternoon of August 8 without disclosing the exact time or venue, with only 40 fans allowed to enter.
