Blackpink member Lisa has become the subject of fresh dating speculation after reports linked her to Thai actor and model Blue Pongtiwat Tangwancharoen, amid separate rumours that she may have parted ways with LVMH heir Frederic Arnault. The speculation has gathered momentum on social media after alleged sightings of Lisa and Blue together surfaced from several countries. The two are said to have known each other for years and have previously been seen together in Thailand.
Recent online posts claimed that Lisa and Blue had also spent time together in Hong Kong and Japan, prompting fans to question whether their longstanding friendship had developed into a romantic relationship.
Further attention was drawn to the pair after claims emerged that Blue had spent time with Lisa's family. Social media users circulated a photograph purportedly showing Lisa and her family celebrating Blue's mother's birthday on August 5. However, the origins and authenticity of some of the material circulating online have not been independently established. The two have also shared a professional connection. Lisa and Blue appeared as part of a Tourism Authority of Thailand campaign alongside Thai stars Win Metawin and Gulf Kanawut.
Despite the growing online discussion, there has been no confirmation from either Lisa or Blue that they are romantically involved. Their representatives have also not publicly confirmed the speculation. Blue, born in 2000, is a Thai actor and model who has appeared in television productions including Ready, Set, Love. His popularity and appearance have also led to him being described by some Korean media and fans as “Thailand's Cha Eun-woo”.
The latest speculation has attracted additional attention because Lisa has been linked to Frederic Arnault, son of LVMH chairman and chief executive Bernard Arnault, since 2023. Lisa and Frederic were photographed together on several occasions over the years, including during overseas trips and public appearances, although neither ever officially confirmed that they were in a relationship.
More recently, reduced public sightings of the two prompted online speculation that they may have separated. No breakup has been confirmed by either side. Lisa, whose full name is Lalisa Manobal, has meanwhile continued to expand her career beyond Blackpink, pursuing solo music, fashion and acting projects. She made her acting debut in the third season of HBO's The White Lotus and has remained one of the most internationally recognised Thai stars. For now, the claims involving Blue remain unverified dating rumours, with neither celebrity publicly addressing the nature of their relationship.
