After rumors surfaced that BLACKPINK member Lisa (리사) had ended her relationship with Frédéric Arnault, the “third son of LVMH,” her romantic life has been under intense public scrutiny. Recently, she has been frequently spotted with Thai actor Blue Pongtiwat (블루 퐁티왓), who is three years her junior and dubbed the “Thai Cha Eun-woo.” The two were recently photographed together in Shibuya, Tokyo, further intensifying dating rumors.
In fact, Lisa recently made a dazzling appearance at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), not only performing but also taking home several major awards, making her a focal point of the ceremony. However, after a video of the event was released on social media, eagle-eyed netizens noticed what appeared to be Blue in the background when Lisa was backstage at the VMAs, immediately reigniting discussions about their relationship.
At the time, some netizens pointed fingers at Blue, believing his frequent appearances near Lisa fueled public curiosity about their relationship. Now, with the two spotted again in Shibuya, Tokyo, and multiple sightings reported in a short period, the dating rumors continue to spread.
With the increasing number of sightings of Lisa and Blue in Japan recently, some fans have begun to express their dissatisfaction on social media. They feel that the frequent public appearances without a clear response to the dating rumors have left many fans confused.
One fan noted that seeing Lisa and Blue together multiple times within a few days has already fueled discussions for some time. They hope Lisa or her agency will provide a public statement to at least clarify the true nature of their relationship.
Some fans have also compared the rumors involving Lisa and Blue to her past rumored relationship with Frédéric Arnault, noting that the frequency of their recent sightings is significantly higher, which has intensified the dating speculation.
Some fans also believe that other BLACKPINK members have, in the past, managed to cool down dating rumors through denials, vague responses, or official statements. However, Lisa has yet to respond directly, allowing the related discussions to continue to grow.
Furthermore, Lisa is set to begin activities for her new work soon. Some fans are concerned that the ongoing dating rumors might overshadow discussions about her new song and album. They even hope she can appropriately separate her private life from her work, preventing romantic speculation from eclipsing her musical releases.
In addition to Tokyo, Japan, there have also been recent reports of Lisa and Blue returning to Thailand together. As more sightings of the two emerge, speculation about their relationship has once again become a hot topic.
However, as of now, Lisa herself has not publicly confirmed a romantic relationship with Blue, nor have either party officially responded to the recent rumors of their travels in Japan. Therefore, whether they are merely friends, colleagues, or genuinely dating remains unconfirmed by those involved.
