SEOUL, Aug. 7 (Yonhap) -- K-pop girl group BLACKPINK will celebrate the 10th anniversary of its debut with a small-scale meet-and-greet for fans in Seoul, bringing all four members together for a rare domestic fan appearance, industry sources said Friday.

The quartet is scheduled to attend the event Saturday, the date of its debut in 2016, at an undisclosed venue in the capital with 40 selected fans, according to the sources.

It will be the first time that all four have appeared together for fans in South Korea since July last year, when the group held a stop of its "Deadline" world tour in Goyang in the northwestern suburbs of Seoul.

Since debuting under YG Entertainment in 2016, BLACKPINK has become one of the most influential acts in global pop, turning each release into a chart-topping hit, and extending its reach into fashion, luxury branding and advertising.

Its 2022 album "Born Pink" made history as the first by a female K-pop act to top the U.S. Billboard 200, while also reaching number one on the British Official Albums Top 100.

In February, the group returned with its third EP, "Deadline," its first group project in more than three years, which debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200.
