BLACKPINK's Full Lineup Reunites for 10th Anniversary After 13 Months Apart

All four BLACKPINK members are attending a fan meet-and-greet in Seoul on August 8, the group's exact 10th debut anniversary, shutting down weeks of speculation that the lineup would be incomplete.

Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa will join 40 fans at a private Seoul venue for the event, their first full-group appearance in Korea since the DEADLINE world tour concert in Goyang in July 2025, roughly 13 months ago. Each member now operates under a separate label or management setup, as none of them renewed with YG Entertainment (which still holds the BLACKPINK IP). Getting all four in the same room required deliberate schedule coordination, according to K-pop industry sources.

The concern was real. Some members had recently been spotted in the United States, and BLINKs were openly worried that the 10th anniversary would pass without a complete gathering. Those fears turned out to be unfounded.

That said, the event's scale has frustrated fans who were hoping for something bigger. Forty attendees is a small room for a group of this profile, and beyond a heritage merchandise collaboration with the National Museum of Korea's lifestyle brand Muds, no major anniversary programming has been announced. The gap between BLACKPINK's global footprint and what's actually on the calendar is doing a lot of talking right now.

BLACKPINK debuted on August 8, 2016. Over the decade since, the group became one of the most commercially successful acts in K-pop history. In 2022, their second studio album BORN PINK simultaneously topped the Billboard 200 and the UK Official Albums Chart Top 100, a feat previously achieved among K-pop acts only by BTS. It was the first time a girl group had hit number one on the Billboard 200 since Danity Kane in 2008, and the first to sweep both US and UK charts since Destiny's Child in 2001. In 2023, they became the first K-pop act to headline Coachella, and the following year they performed at London's Wembley Stadium.

The group released DEADLINE in February 2026, their first full-group album in about three and a half years, and resumed activities as a unit after a prolonged period of solo work from each member.

For now, 40 people get the room. The rest of the BLINK fanbase gets the announcement.
