[Sports Kyunghyang, reporter Lee Hyeon-gyeong] BLACKPINK member Lisa has become the center of dating rumors after being repeatedly spotted overseas with Thai actor Blue Pongtiwat, with claims that they were together in Japan following Hong Kong, as well as speculation about closeness between their families.

Recently, Lisa became embroiled in dating rumors after being spotted several times with Blue Pongtiwat, who is nicknamed “Thailand’s Cha Eun-woo,” on overseas online communities.

The two were previously known to be close friends after often being seen meeting in Thailand. However, dating rumors arose after photos presumed to show them together in Hong Kong were released late last month. The internet user who posted the photos said, “I thought they were close friends because they met often in Thailand, but seeing them together overseas has changed my mind.”

More recently, claims emerged that the two were also together in Japan. After photos showing several people together were posted online, some internet users presumed that the people in the photos were Lisa and Blue Pongtiwat and speculated that they might have traveled to Japan together.

Adding fuel to the dating rumors, claims also emerged that Lisa and her family celebrated Blue Pongtiwat’s mother’s birthday together.

In particular, these dating rumors are attracting even more attention because they emerged amid speculation that Lisa had broken up with Frédéric Arnault, heir to French luxury group LVMH, after being embroiled in dating rumors with him for a long time.

However, since neither Lisa nor Blue Pongtiwat has issued an official statement regarding whether they are dating, the nature of their relationship has not been confirmed.
