BLACKPINK drops heartfelt and teary video message in appreciation of fans on 7th debut anniversary
BLACKPINK left a surprise video letter to fans on the group’s 7th debut anniversary.
On August 8, YG Entertainment released a video titled “BLACKPINK – 7th ANNIVERSARY” on BLACKPINK’s official YouTube channel on the 8th. It is a Q&A video with questions gathered from the fan-communication platform Weverse.
BLACKPINK’s friendship shone through in the video. However, what caught attention was question 18, which asked the members to describe their happiest moments meeting fans. In reply, the BLACKPINK members recalled fond memories of meeting BLINK.
Jennie said expressing her gratitude for fans, “At first, it felt unfamiliar and I was shy to approach them. But as time went by, they felt more like a friend… And now we’re like family, supporting each other no matter what we do.” She concluded, “BLACKPINK is BLINK, and BLINK is BLACKPINK.”
Lisa revealed when she was on stage and performed for fans. She said, “We meet with BLINK on stage these days with our world tour going on and they always give me so much strength. So I receive energy while performing, and it’s so good we can enjoy these moments together,” adding, “Thank you for being with us from Day 1. Let’s be together for a long long time.”
To Jisoo, BLINK was a special person who cheered her up in any situation. The idol said, “But even when [BLACKPINK] don’t [have any activities], and when I’m spending time alone, there are times when thinking
of BLINK gives me so much strength.” She added, “Let’s be happy for a long time for our remaining days and spend many happy times together.”
Rosé picked the moment when she encountered fans in an unexpected situation. The “Gone” singer revealed, “When comparing it to times I expect to meet with BLINK to coincidentally meeting with them during a schedule, I feel much more excited.” Recalling meeting BLINK after COVID, Rosé thought she cried because it felt good for her to meet her fans again after a long time. The idol ended her part in tears, saying, “Thank you so much… and I’m thankful for our members too.”
BLACKPINK debuted with their first single album “Square One” in August 2016, creating numerous hits. The first full-length album “The Album” became the first million seller for a K-pop girl group with about 1.3 million copies sold. The second full-length album “BORN PINK” also sold more than 2.82 million copies, dominating the U.S. Billboard 200 and UK official albums charts.
BLACKPINK is conducting the largest world tour of K-pop girl groups, attracting about 1.5 million people. Starting with New Jersey on August 11, BLACKPINK will travel to Las Vegas, San Francisco, and Los Angeles to meet with U.S. fans in a series of encore concerts.
