In October 2021, the four members of the K-pop group Blackpink released a statement that they will no longer accept gifts from fans to commemorate special dates to Blackpink such as the members’ birthdays and the group’s anniversaries.

Similarly, before Blackpink, singer-actress IU had also urged her fans – called the Uaenas – not to buy her gifts on her birthday.
