The quartet\u2019s anniversary falls on August 8, 2026, and YG Entertainment has announced merchandise, digital fan badges, and fan letter activities. However, some fans have said these projects do not properly mark the 10th-year milestone. A lot of them hoped to see the four members together through a live broadcast, video messages, a fan event, a special performance, or new music celebrating BLACKPINK\u2019s decade-long legacy.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n        <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"ko\" dir=\"ltr\">\ube14\ub799\ud551\ud06c\uc758 10\uc8fc\ub144\uc744 \uae30\ub150\ud574 MU:DS\uc640 \ud568\uaed8 \uc120\ubcf4\uc774\ub294 HERITAGE COLLECTION<br \/>\uad6d\ub9bd\uc911\uc559\ubc15\ubb3c\uad00 \uc0c1\ud488\uad00\uc5d0\uc11c \uac00\uc7a5 \uba3c\uc800 \ub9cc\ub098\ubcf4\uc138\uc694.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udccd \uad6d\ub9bd\uc911\uc559\ubc15\ubb3c\uad00 \uc0c1\uc124\uc804\uc2dc\uc2e4 \ub0b4 \uc0c1\ud488\uad002<br \/>Museum Shop II, National Museum of Korea<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\uddd3 \uc804\uc2dc \uc77c\uc815\u31632026. 8. 8.

The seven-item collection combines Korean design details inspired by royal objects with BLACKPINK\u2019s color palette and minimalistic visual identity. Fans can also receive anniversary badges through Weverse and submit messages for the members. Despite these activities, criticism has continued on X and other online communities. For example, BLACKPINK BLINK Union sent an open letter asking YG Entertainment to organize music, performances, and projects that recognize and celebrate the quartet\u2019s anniversary.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n        <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BLINKs have been here since Day 1.

Despite the anniversary criticism, fans continue to support BLACKPINK\u2019s group activities, which have become rarer following the launch of Jisoo, Ros\u00e9, Lisa and Jennie\u2019s solo careers. While BLACKPINK renewed their group contract with YG Entertainment in late 2023, the four members decided to pursue their solo endeavors outside the agency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BLACKPINK is approaching their 10th anniversary, but the special date has created debate among fans who expected a larger group celebration.
