August 7 is a huge moment in K-Pop history as that date on 2016 saw BLACKPINK debut. Since then, they’ve become one of the biggest stars in the world, whether together as a group or with their solo activities.
The members have been extremely busy with their own activities, seeing them being taken around the world. Yet, netizens noticed that ahead of the anniversary, all the members arrived back in Korea, with Lisa being the last on the 6 August.
As soon as 12PM hit in Korea, the BLACKPINK account shared a celebration.

But netizens were even more excited when the notification on Weverse appeared, and all four members shared they were together to celebrate the special anniversary and wanted to be with BLINKs.
The cutest thumbnail showed all four members making hand hearts with party hats on.
After singing Happy Birthday…
And making a wish (after scolding Jisoo, who already wanted to blow out the candles)…
They finally blew out their candles.
As the members chatted with each other and read comments, BLINKs shared their emotions at finally seeing the members together after so long. Of course, they’re so close, but their solo activities have meant netizens haven’t seen all four of them in one place for what seemed like forever.

As they ate, even Jisoo joked that it had been a long time.

They even did some cute hearts…
And had the cutest guest…
Watching the four members together unsurprisingly made netizens emotional.
