BLACKPINK's Lisa linked to Thai actor Blue Pontiawat amid Hong Kong and Japan sightings

Dating rumors linking BLACKPINK's Lisa to Thai actor Blue Pontiawat spread across domestic and international online communities on August 11, driven by alleged sightings across multiple countries.

Photos purportedly showing the two together in Hong Kong circulated at the end of last month. Japan sightings followed—some netizens claimed photos of a group traveling there included Lisa and Blue Pontiawat. Other claims emerged that Lisa and her family celebrated Blue Pontiawat's mother's birthday together, though none of these sightings have been independently verified.

The connection traces back to April, when Blue Pontiawat posted multiple photos on his SNS from what was described as a gathering for Lisa's 29th birthday. His caption: "Cheers to you, rockstar!"

Blue Pontiawat was born in 2000, making him three years younger than Lisa (born 1997). He works as an actor, singer, and model in Thailand and has earned the nickname "Thailand's Cha Eun-woo." International audiences may recognize him from the Netflix series Ready, Set, Love.

Lisa had been linked to Frédéric Arnault, son of LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault, multiple times since 2023—though that relationship was never officially confirmed. In June, Vanity Fair reported that Lisa and Arnault appeared to have separated, reigniting breakup speculation.

Neither Lisa nor Blue Pontiawat has issued any statement on the rumors.
