In late August 2026, Lisa announces a six-track solo EP titled PRESS PLAY, slated for release on October 23, and previews the project with the single SaWaDiKa arriving on September 3, showcasing her Thai heritage and personal evolution since her 2025 debut Alter Ego.

Jeesoo confirms a solo comeback with the track CLICK, planned for September 4 as part of BLACKPINK’s 10th anniversary celebrations, with fans receiving both SaWaDiKa and CLICK on consecutive days.

Promotional materials and posts indicate synchronized rollout, with SaWaDiKa debuting on September 3 followed by CLICK on September 4, aligning with the anniversary festivities.

Jisoo addressed online speculation about her tears during the anniversary events, clarifying she was moved by the group’s decade-long bond and urged fans to avoid baseless rumors.

She also asked fans to focus on the meaning of the milestone rather than negative narratives, emphasizing unity amid the anniversary celebrations.

At the anniversary event, there was initial uncertainty about all four members’ attendance, which frustrated fans, though the full lineup ultimately appeared.

Soyeon delivered a standout Waterbomb Sokcho 2026 performance on August 22, featuring immersive staging and a dramatic look, including removing an outer layer to reveal a black bikini top.

She also highlighted her extensive involvement in songwriting and production, signaling fans’ expectations for her solo material.

An intro film on YouTube traces Soyeon’s journey from childhood to Produce 101 and i-dle’s debut, framing her persistence and evolution as a creator.

Soyeon released a music video for I Hate Vegetables Song on her YouTube channel, using a 2000s flash animation aesthetic to depict a childlike hero overcoming vegetable foes.

The Waterbomb moment included a surprise release of the I Hate Vegetables Song video, adding a playful, nostalgic tone to the performance.

The Seoul event brought all four BLACKPINK members together to mark ten years since their debut, fueling ongoing conversations about how major milestones should be celebrated in K-pop.
