They marked a special milestone of the team.
On Saturday, August 8, Korean pop group BLACKPINK marked their 10th anniversary with an intimate reunion of the quartet composed of Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa, and Rosé.
In their individual social media posts, the members shared snapshots from the said gathering and their messages for fans.
In her letter, Jennie expressed: “Hi BLINK, it’s hard to believe it’s already been ten years.”
“As I’ve lived through each of those moments, I’ve come to realize more and more with time just how much strength I’ve drawn from knowing there were always people waiting for me, believing in me, and cheering me on from the same place,” she added.
The vocalist also noted that while she said “thank you so many times,” those words feel “bigger than ever” after 10 years.
“Because of you, I’ve been able to live out so many dreams. I’ve seen more of the world than I ever imagined, stood on stages I used to only dream about, and met so many incredible people along the way,” added Kim.
She also said that more than anything, “being ‘JENNIE’ with BLINK” has helped her get to know herself better, grow and love herself a little more.
“Thank you for loving me for the past ten years, for believing in me, and for walking this journey with me. From the bottom of my heart, thank you,” the singer further expressed.
Toward her co-members, she alsp thanked them for sharing this entire journey with her.
“We’ve always been there for one another, chasing the same dream together, and I truly believe that’s what made us who we are today. Because we were together, we laughed more, and we were able to come this far.“
Lastly, “Just like always, I’ll keep trying new things, keep growing, and keep making music and memories that we can share together. Thank you, always. I love you.“
Meanwhile, Lisa also said her thanks to to all the Blinks who were there with her and the rest of the group throughout the past 10 years.
“Because of your support, you are the ones who keep me going and I promise to keep working hard to do the same for you. I strive to be a better version of myself to make you guys proud,” the Thai K-pop star continued.
To her members, whom she called as her “ride or die,” she told: “[It’s] been a rollercoaster of a ride but I wouldn’t have it any other way. There will be ups and downs but we are in it together and know that I will always have your back.”
Meanwhile, Jisoo and Rosé both shared different images on their accounts, which have already received more than 2 million likes each.
