Overview
- The four members held a rare full‑group Weverse livestream and an in‑person Meet & Greet at the National Museum of Korea that took place on Saturday, Aug. 8, 2026, giving fans a brief chance to see the group together.
- YG Entertainment announced the in‑person event two days before the anniversary and restricted attendance to 40 paying Weverse members with a nine‑hour application window, a rollout many fans called too late and too narrow.
- Fan frustration focused on the paid, platform‑only eligibility and small guest list, with social media users saying long‑time BLINKs who had not renewed Weverse memberships were excluded.
- Jisoo apologised directly in a written note and again on the livestream for communication failures and for disappointing fans, and footage later showed her visibly emotional as she accepted handwritten letters from attendees.
- The celebration also included a seven‑item 'Blackpink Heritage Collection' developed with MU:DS at the museum, and observers say fans will be watching whether YG announces broader, more accessible anniversary activities to repair relations.
