Blackpink is under fire for arriving late to an event featuring David Beckham.
According to reports, the British soccer player reportedly waited for over 20 minutes for Blackpink to arrive at an event held at the Times Square in Yeondeungpo-gu, Seoul to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Adidas and Hangul day.
According to reports, Blackpink arrived over 20 minutes late and explained that it was due to a traffic jam. The event began at 11:30am with a 10-minute meeting scheduled with Blackpink from 11:55am - 12:05pm. However, Blackpink arrived around 12:14pm causing the event to be delayed. Beckham continued to give fan service taking pictures and signing autographs despite the group's tardiness, but because of the long wait, he eventually headed back to the waiting room. When Blackpink eventually arrived, the event had been delayed for almost an hour causing reporters to begin leaving.
According to TV Daily, the issue is causing anger among field officials and netizens online because Blackpink didn't apologize to Beckham or to the reporters and fans that waited for them for a long time.
A source told TV Daily, "It seems like they haven't apologized for the situation because there were so many people at the event. Beckham didn't specifically complain or say anything about Blackpink arriving late."
- [+17,029, -518] Logically speaking, shouldn't Blackpink have been the ones arriving early and setting up the place before Beckham arrived? Even that wouldn't have been enough.
- [+11,983, -122] I remember Jang Do-yeon trying to fill up the time when Blackpink arrived late to the awards ceremony ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ. Seems like this is a habit for them ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- [+8,792, -324] The timetable is already out. The fans are the only ones still denying it.
- [+7,026, -127] So they were really late ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ. YG usually doesn't put out a statement when they're in the wrong ㅋㅋㅋ
- [+3,041, -940] I get the whole wanting to avoid spreading false information without proof but there are a lot of videos on YouTube about it already...
- [+1,849, -78] They barely have a few years under their belts as idols but they're arrogant already~
- [+1,476, -20] It's because Beckham has a good personality, if it was Ronaldo they'd be overㅋㅋ
- [+1,446, -21] I watched the video too. Even though they arrived late they still walked up there confidently, smiling, laughing and talking together ㅋㅋㅋ
- [+1,376, -22] I remember at the Elle Awards when Jang Do Yeon had to fill up the time because Blackpink were late. When she asked if they arrived yet, they told her no so she even sang a song before she got off the stage.
- [+735, -22] Fact is they were late and didn't apologize...YG's lack of character is a science.
