Erika Na

Evidence suggesting Blackpink’s Lisa is dating Frédéric Arnault, the chief executive of TAG Heuer and son of Bernard Arnault, the second richest man in the world, continues to mount on social media.
Rumours the pair were dating first surfaced in July when photos of the two dining together in Paris went online.
Superstar girl group Blackpink’s singer/rapper, Lisa, 26, whose real name is Lalisa Manoban, has the biggest Instagram following in K-pop, with 98 million followers. Arnault, 28, is the third son of Bernard Arnault, chief executive of LVMH, the biggest luxury group in the word.
While neither Arnault or Lisa have confirmed or denied the rumours, photos and witness accounts of the two together in various places around the world have surfaced regularly since July.

Lisa attends her father’s birthday party in Thailand, where she was born and raised, on October 15 and is seen standing between him and her mother and holding a TAG Heuer box.
Internet users speculate it contains a birthday gift from Arnault.
Photos show Lisa wearing red and green hairpins – red and green being the colours of the TAG Heuer logo.
September: Lisa and Arnault are seen boating in Bangkok
Thai media report that Lisa was seen with Arnault boating on the Chao Phraya River that runs through the Thai capital.

Although they do not publish photos of the two and the media reports are based on the accounts of people who claimed to have seen their outing, Arnault was indeed in Bangkok at the time for the brand’s first flagship boutique store opening in Thailand.
According to the sources who speak to Thai media, Lisa’s parents are also on the boat. This sparks rumours Lisa and Arnault might soon marry.
August: the two are photographed together in a lounge at LAX
In August, Lisa is spotted with Arnault in a lounge at Los Angeles International Airport, where they are photographed sitting next to each other on a couch.

That month, Blackpink staged four “encore” concerts of their “Born Pink” world tour in the United States. Korean media outlets report that, while other Blackpink members make their own way to Las Vegas from California for their next concert, Lisa flies separately on Arnault’s private jet.
July: the two are photographed dining together in a restaurant in France
The first photo of Lisa and Arnault together, which sparks the rumour they are dating, goes viral in July. It shows the two sitting side by side at a restaurant in Paris where they are dining with acquaintances.
Photos taken by an onlooker show the two chatting and Lisa leaning her head on Arnault’s shoulder.

Lisa’s musical career with Blackpink began in 2016 after five years’ training with YG Entertainment in South Korea. The group has gone on to become one of the most financially successful K-pop acts in the world.
Their 2023 “Born Pink” tour became the highest grossing world tour by a female music act, making revenue of US$163.8 million. The tour ran for a year from October 2022 to September 2023, and the group performed in 34 cities.
LVMH owns 75 luxury brands, including Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Tiffany & Co. Arnault became chief executive of TAG Heuer, a Swiss luxury watch company, in 2020, after joining the company in 2017.
