BLACKPINK’s Lisa was spotted with Thai actor Blue Pongtiwat. On October 20, photos showing Lisa with Blue Pongtiwat in a Thai city spread through social media. In the photos, Lisa was walking while talking on the phone with her hat pulled down low. Blue Pongtiwat was also seen behind Lisa. The two reportedly walked in the same direction while keeping a little distance between them. The netizen who posted the photos said, “Lisa and Blue Pongtiwat were spending a special time together. They were both very cute and looked relaxed.” It has also been revealed that Blue Pongtiwat recently visited a restaurant with Lisa and Lisa’s mother. Rumors of a romance between the two first surfaced around August this year. Sightings of them spending time together in Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan, and other places have spread, drawing attention. Born in 2000, Blue Pongtiwat is an actor and singer known as the “Thai Cha Eun-woo.” He has appeared in the Netflix series “Battle of the Singles: Love’s Serious Match!” and others. In April this year, he drew attention by releasing a friendly photo taken with Lisa at the seaside where Lisa’s birthday party was held. Since 2023, rumors have also circulated that Lisa was dating Frédéric Arnault, the fourth son of Bernard Arnault, the head of LVMH. However, on June 23 (local time), the American fashion magazine Vanity Fair revealed in the cover interview for its summer issue featuring Lisa that “a person related to Lisa requested that questions about romance not be asked.” In addition, because Frédéric Arnault did not attend this year’s birthday party, it has spread among fans that the two have broken up. Amid various speculations, Lisa avoided directly commenting on the dating rumors in an interview and instead said the following: “Since I said I don’t have privacy, I think fans have respected that point much more than before. Fans understand that it is not easy to be in this position, but sometimes things go a little too far, and there are times when I just want to spend time like a normal person.” ・BLACKPINK Lisa draws attention with a series of Japan enjoyment photos, from Kinkaku-ji to USJ...
