At exactly midnight on August 8 (KST), BLACKPINK surprised fans with a livestream featuring all four members to commemorate their 8th debut anniversary. For over 40 minutes, fans were on edge, thrilled to see all four members together on a livestream after a long time. This emotional and exciting reunion of the global girl group left the fan community feeling a mix of happiness and exhilaration.
During the livestream, BLACKPINK delighted fans with their unique birthday song. The moment Rosé blew out the candles, causing her hat to fly off, went viral on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter). Rosé also mentioned that she felt the luckiest for meeting all 4 members before the anniversary.
Alongside their lighthearted stories, the girls didn’t forget to ask about each other’s personal projects. Jennie asked Lisa about her solo song “ROCKSTAR”’s dance challenge. Meanwhile, Jisoo, Jennie, and Rosé expressed their excitement for Lisa’s appearance in the third season of the TV show *The White Lotus*.
Jennie speculated that the 9th anniversary might feel a bit sadder because this year highlighted the number 8 so much. Jisoo quickly assured that BLACKPINK would celebrate their 88th anniversary, touching fans deeply as it signified that BLACKPINK – OT4 will always exist even as they pursue their individual careers.
After the livestream, BLACKPINK planned to attend an 8th-anniversary fansign event on the afternoon of August 8 in Seoul, South Korea. This rare opportunity will allow 88 lucky fans to meet BLACKPINK in person, marking the first fansign event since the promotion of their album *BORN PINK* over a year ago.
