BLACKPINK Fan Meetup Disrupts National Museum, Prompts Apology
the national museum of korea had to restrict general access for an hour during blinks' 10th-anniversary gathering — and then apologized for it.
the way BLACKPINK's fandom can bend an entire national institution to its will is genuinely so funny to me.
for the group's 10th anniversary, a fan meet-up of around 40 BLINKs gathered at the National Museum of Korea — and the turnout/logistics meant the museum ended up restricting general visitor access for about an hour. the museum later issued an apology to other guests over the disruption.
forty fans. FORTY. celebrating four girls, and the effect was big enough that a national museum had to send out a formal "our bad." that's not a fandom, that's a weather system.
is it a little chaotic? sure. but a decade in and BLINKs still showing up in force to celebrate together is exactly the community energy we're here for. happy 10th, bestie. 🖤💗

MAMAMOO's Solar Says Stranger Attacked Her in Los Angeles
the artist shared that a stranger threw a wooden chair at her while she was walking, leaving her with a bruised leg. wishing her a safe and full recovery.
some genuinely upsetting news out of Los Angeles: MAMAMOO's Solar has shared that she was attacked by a stranger while walking in the city.
according to Solar, the person threw a wooden chair at her, which hit her and left her with a bruised leg. she was thankfully able to speak about the incident herself, but no one should ever have to experience something like this.
random acts of violence like this are frightening, and it's a hard reminder that artists are real people who deserve to move through the world safely — on tour, at home, or just out for a walk.
we're sending Solar a lot of care and hoping she's able to rest and recover fully. 💚
